“Kristi has been amazing help in taking care of my pup Thor! She is so friendly, accommodating, and quick to respond. I am so thankful to have someone so kind and reliable.”
“Nick was excellent. We needed someone on short notice to take our energetic dog for long walks for 4 days while my husband recouped from a muscle sprain. Nick was responsive, on time each day, sent Rover Cards documenting the map and time of his walks. Great guy. Our dog took to him like a dog takes to a bone. Will definitely use Nick again.”
“Frances has been so flexible and helpful with Choco and I’s change to an apartment lifestyle! Choco was very energtic and happy when I got home because of his mid day walk. I am soooo grateful to have Frances available to provide that for him!”
“My dogs love Christi! She has a super positive attitude and lots of availability. She takes the time to take great pictures while on the walk. She definitely puts my dogs to work because they're much less antsy when I come from home from work after she's walked them”
About: Lifelong Dog Lover & Trusted Pet Caregiver 🐾 Hi! I’m Alexis—born into an animal-loving household and lucky enough never to have known life without a wagging tail nearby. Today I’m a proud pet parent myself, and I treat every dog or cat in my care like family. Whether your pup craves sunrise strolls, mid-day zoomies, or a cozy sun-soaked nap, I’ll make sure they feel completely at home. Reliable, attentive, and full of tail-wagging energy—your pet’s new best friend is just a booking away! What I Offer • Dog Walking & Drop-In Visits: 20-, 30-, or 60-minute adventures tailored to your pet’s pace, complete with photo updates and detailed walk • Specialty Care: Comfortable administering oral/topical meds, basic obedience reinforcement, senior mobility support, and puppy potty-break schedules. Experience You Can Trust With 15+ years of hands-on pet care, I’ve: • I have watched all dogs from small to large & young to senior. • Volunteered at my local rescue to also help with animals who have not found their forever home yet Availability I work full-time as an esthetician • Weekdays: as of right now i’m free every Thursday • Weekends: as of right now i'm free every Sunday The rest of the days fluctuate so feel free to ask & I may be able to help! Professional, safety-minded, and always upbeat, I’m here to keep tails wagging and give you total peace of mind while you’re away!🤍 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for. As a pet parent myself, I’m already used to regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and lots of affection. Whether it’s early morning walks or evening cuddles, caring for animals fits seamlessly into my day. I make it a priority to provide consistent, attentive care because I know how important routine and trust are for both pets and their owners. I care for pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. In my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and feel part of the family. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible—whether that means feeding times, walks, or favorite toys. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines. I make sure their pets feel secure and cared for by providing consistent attention, exercise, and affection. I always follow specific instructions from the owner and send regular updates so you know your pet is happy and in good hands!

About: I’ve previously been the dog dad of a Shiba Inu (very challenging to raise) and bra beagle/lab mix. Both were happy, playful, positive, and social (well as social as a Shiba can get). I’m always the person people ask to watch their dogs and homes when they’re out of town so I decided that I would get on the platform. I used to walk all over my neighborhood with my dogs and sing and people thought I was a professional dog walker so I’m like “why not?”. Happy to answer any questions. My schedule is 100% in my control for work. I’m able to work any type of care schedule into my days, sometimes even very last minute (the hour before). I treat your home with the upmost respect. I’m always open to having a camera in the public areas for anyone unsure of having a stranger in their home and can follow any steps that are left.
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. I have experience with everything from dogs, to cats, to lizards, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, rats, etc. There has never been a moment I have been without an animal in my life. Currently, I have two dogs, Karma and Panda. Aside from my own animals, I actively volunteer at the shelters around me, which is where I adopted both of my dogs. I love animals unconditionally, no matter what kind. I am able to walk, feed, watch, petsit, groom, play or anything else that may be needed for them. Size and age is not an issue for me. I have worked at dog daycare, pet sat for many and have some experience in grooming. I am part time at the YMCA from M-TH 4 pm - 7 pm. Other than that, I am available to take care of animals as needed. I have a fenced in yard, and an energetic dog to keep your fur babies entertained! I am able to fulfill any needs for your pets safety.

About: As my mom is a vet tech and also a dog sitter, I have many years of experience and knowledge on how to care for your dogs in the best way possible. I’m currently not working, so I have very flexible hours. I am in school, however it’s online, so I can do my work at the houses I stay at while continuing to care for the animals. I will make sure your dogs are fed, always have water, taken out regularly, taken on walks, and assure that they are in the best hands possible.
“Tara did a great job walking Maddie in the blistering heat . She accepted the job on the same day as I was sick and unable to leave my apartment. She made sure Maddie didn’t get overheated, but got all her “business” done. I will certainly use her again!”

About: I've always had pets. I couldn't imagine life without them. You can rely on me to give you're little buddy the attention he needs while you can't be home with them. I am currently not working so I am looking for something to keep me busy. I have plenty of time to watch your little guy. Every doggie loves long walks and park visits. There's nothing like a little sun and nature to lift their spirits. I am able to give them medicine if need be or crating.

“Lacey is by far my first choice when I need a sitter for my fur babies. I have used her service on several occasions. I know that whenever I leave and she is there I don’t have anything to worry about.”
Peyton N.
“Peyton has watched my dogs from puppies, and I have always gone to her anytime i go on vacation or need a last minute drop in because I’m running home late or something. She has a lot of animal experience in general but when she is with my pets and caring for them it shows. She cares for my 4 dogs, snakes and lizards, ferrets, and 1 cat and I’ve never had any issues at all and if anything learn something from her. Very professional. A big change from the boarding facilities and other babysitting experiences”

He sends me pictures & videos of their adventures & often takes her to the park to play & bird watch. Can’t recommend him highly enough.
