“Jamie was great. My dog usually takes awhile to warm up, but Jamie was patient and took the time to make her feel comfortable. By the end of the visit, Basil was playing with her.”
“Leann was great! Our pup had surgery and she was extra cautious with him. Asked questions. She truly cares and was a great help for us! Thank you! Highly recommend her and she'll be my first request in the future!!”
“Hannah was great! She agreed to a very last minute walk with our puppy so she’s definitely flexible. Sent multiple photos and our dog looked extremely happy. Thanks again 😁”
“Emma is always excited to see Carolyn for her walk. She fell for Carolyn right off the bat. Emma does not always do that. She is a good judge of character.”
“Erin was a life saver this week! With my husband out of town for a week and me with my hands full with a three year old and baby, getting out to walk our energetic and LOUD husky was going to be a challenge. Erin was always right on time and such a great communicator. I liked and trusted her immediately and Aurora Dog warmed up to her right away as well. She started waiting at the door for her in the morning. Thank you so much Erin!”
“Jenny is extremely good with Charlie Brown. She even has started to train him. She is punctual and very pleasant. She walks Charlie four times a week and we are grateful! She comes highly recommended by us!”

“Andria is absolutely amazing. My two little fur babies just love her and their walks. I know that while they are with Andria they are treated as if they are her own.”
About: I am a retired registered nurse. I am used to giving medications to both dogs and people. I have administered insulin to dogs. I live in a quiet home on a quiet street I am home most of the time. I have plenty of time to play with puppies and I'm flexible. Taking care of a pet would not interfere with my daily routine at all I have a yard it is not fenced but it is a very quiet neighborhood and there are very quiet streets where I can walk a dog
“Sami is fantastic!! She is responsive, kind and thoughtful. She immediately got along with my dog, sends pictures, and goes above and beyond on every walk! I look forward to working with her again.”
About: I have always felt incredibly blessed to be able to share our Earth with animals, especially dogs and cats. My name is Cat (I know, ironic), and I am a 25 year old barista at a local coffee shop. I am on a mission to extend the love and compassion I have for my community further out to the furry friends within it, too. After work, I am home most of the day with my own animals, and I live near many parks, and dog parks. I raised a litter of 12 adorable puppies all on my own, and have grown up with dogs and cats always in my house. I am able to command dogs as needed, and I'm not afraid to use my stern parenting voice either. Pet sitting isn't a chore, it's a fun opportunity. After work, I am a fulltime pet mom. It is a crucial part to my daily routine, so adding a few more into the mix won't do any harm. I treat each pet as if they were my own flesh and blood child. My yard is not fenced in, but we do have a small, mulched backyard patio for them to potty and suntan (on a longline) as they desire. Animals and humans thrive when they have a solid routine, so that is what I integrate into my pet care. I am personally okay with having pets on my bed and furniture.
About: Leaving your four legged loved ones at home when you go on vacation is never easy. I strive to make sure they feel cared for and loved while you are away so you don't need to worry! I have over 18 years experience caring for animals of my own, rescue fosters, and shelter animals, and caring for others' pets while they are away. I am a lifelong animal lover with experience with cats, dogs, and small animals like ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, chickens, and more. I have cats and dogs of my own currently. Whether you are looking for a dog walker, a drop-in pet sitter, or a comfortable place to board your four-legged (or more or less) family members, I can be of service to you. I live in a single family home with a fully fenced in backyard, and a separate dedicated nicely sized bedroom dedicate to boarding. Whether I'm housing your pets or visiting your home, my goal is always to make them as comfortable and as happy as possible! I am currently working part-time from home. I am available for boarding, walking, and drop-ins, on a relatively flexible schedule. I am also offering sitter pick-ups and drop-offs as a boarding add-on. My style of pet care is catering to their needs and your desires. I have experience with shy, rowdy, low-energy, and other types of personalities. Each pet and each situation requires a unique approach.
“Jessica has been amazing every time we’ve asked for her help. She’s so prompt and sweet to our dog; we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone!”
About: I am a dog lover to the max and have had a dog the majority of my life. I’m that annoying person who asks people if I can pet their dog whenever I see them out and about. I view dogs as part of the family- Fur Babies! I have experience with multiple different breeds and sizes of dogs and truly enjoy every one of them. I work from home 3-4 days a week, so I can easily pop in for a visit or walk. My dog is very low maintenance which gives me time to help care for others! My goal is to keep a schedule and routine the same for your dog when they are under my care as when they are under their owners care. This is important for all parties!
“Leah has taken great care of my dog, Ziggy, for his regular walks. She always sends an update not only on his eliminations for the walk but also his general attitude and how much water he drank. She's also been super flexible when I've needed to add on my other dog last minute.”
About: Family and friends have relied on my services to help care for their pets for years. I’m willing to complete certain requests and ensure your pet gets adequate care and attention when you’re away. I work full time throughout the week starting the 9th of June. But I can provide care and services after work or on the weekends. I have a super friendly golden to keep your pup entertained if preferred. I’ll make sure your pet stays on their schedule and gets proper exercise based their energy level.
“Sahtyn has been such a life savor for me and my dog Sadee. Sadee is blind and has a hard time meeting new people but Sahtyn was so kind and gentle that Sadee warmed up to her quickly. I get wonderful pictures during their walks and love the reports on what Sadee did during the walk. Highly recommend!!”
About: Ever since I can remember I've always had a dog in my house, all different kinds. My own, and some of my parents fostered or took in temporarily from friends. I'm ready to walk, run, play, or nap with your pupper or kitty! Some of my favorite things are walks, fetch with a ball, and blowing bubbles. I have a dog named Wheezer and a cat named Titan. I'm so excited to meet you and your furry family members, thank you so much for your consideration! I am currently self employed in theatre (in the process of creating my own company) and have lots of spare time, especially during the day, to help take care of your pets! I have a high functioning car, and am ready to travel to you and your pet and/or being them to their favorite park! I live in an apartment, so my current favorite way to help out is to come to you and your furry friend!
About: I treat every dog like they are my own. Daily updates with photos, videos,and/or messages. Playtime, basic training reinforcement, medication administration, and light grooming/brushing-all included at no extra charge I currently work part-time and structure my day around the needs of the pets in my care. On a weekly basis, I plan ahead for pet’s routine and maintain regular communication with owners My top priorities are comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure you pet feels relax by keeping their environment as normal and consistent as possible.
About: I’ve lived with and taken care of dogs for years. Friends and family have always relied on me to walk, bathe, and play with their dogs. I’m currently home for college and spend most of my time being outdoors and active, this makes it very easy and to have time to dog sit. I am free sporadicly throughout the week and for walking and sitting. I like to make sure the dogs are safe and feel comfortable in their home with a new person. When walking i’m open to shorter or longer walks based on owners preference.

She’s the most kind, compassionate, giving human being I’ve ever met, she would be an excellent candidate to take care of any animal as she is very compassionate and very caring.
