“Maria has been great for me and my dogs. She immediately won them over during our meet and greet. She send regular updates and photos which are much appreciated while I’m gone. I can also tell she truly cares by the questions she asks regarding the dogs needs.”

“I’m so grateful to Elliot for helping me out in a pinch! He went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was well taken care of. At first, my dog was hesitant and wouldn’t let him get too close, but Elliot was patient and persistent, working to gain his trust without pushing too hard. Before long, my puppy warmed up to him and they had a great time together. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Elliot put in the extra effort to make sure he felt comfortable and cared for. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated dog walker!”

About: It is part of my worldview that animals are treated with respect and care. These creatures are intelligent, emotional beings, and I take that seriously. I’m a stay-at-home mom who’s looking to for a few hours of work each week to fill in the financial gap. Rather than sit at a desk job, I’d rather being doing something I enjoy, taking care of animals, than something that feels like an obligation. Each family and their animals have their own different needs and requests. I’ll reliably follow those needs, instructions, schedules, and care. No two pets are the same, and it’s important to me to honor how each family works with their pets.
“Heather was amazing. Even though my pup was a little hesitant to warm up to her she never gave up and eventually they became cuddle buddies! Heather went above and beyond what was asked of her - I am so happy to have found her and am grateful that in the future I have someone I can count on to take care of Piper :)”
“Elise is fantastic! She is so reliable and respectful. Her communication when taking care of my pup is always so reassuring! 10/10 would recommend her for any of your pets!”

“Raquel was an outstanding dog walker and lover of our dog while we were away on a longer trip. She gave great updates, communicated well, and even cleaned up parts of our house after our winter dog shedded excessively in the summer! We hope to use her in the future and highly recommend her!”


“Carrie was great! Prompt in replying and caring for our dogs, especially without having had a meet and greet beforehand. Carrie was through and handled our detailed instructions with care! We felt safe and happy having her care for our 6-month old puppy and our older dog and we’d happily book with her again.”

“1. My dog looooooves Jalen! You’d think they’d known each other this whole time. 2. Jalen is friendly, professional, prompt, and flexible. 3. I will be booking again.”

About: I took care of my neighbors pets all my life. House sitting, sometimes just going over to let them outside. I’m trusted with pet care I work full time but off on most weekends, so I’m free most weekends. Usually off during the week by 3:30 pm. Major holidays I’m off as well I prefer to house sitting dogs at the clients place. That is preferred just because the dogs are already in a good environment at their house. I have two dogs currently and my mom lives at home as well.
About: I have always loved animals more than I love people. My experience caring for dogs spans over two decades. Your animals will get plenty of loves and cuddles (and probably too much spoiling) I work from home, so walks fit easily in the schedule. I am also able to work anywhere with an internet connection, so making sure I am available for anything needed is a breeze! Pets will be cared for by me in the same manner you care for them on your own. They cannot get on the couch? We will cuddle on the floor. Walks only on a certain route? You got it. In the end, consistency is key with animals, so you can ensure I will keep your routine.
“Zana is an incredible pet sitter/walker who we’ve used multiple times. Our dog loves when she comes over and she sends many updates and pictures. We look forward to using her in the future.”

About: My experience includes… • dog walking (short and long walks) • feeding • interactive play • administering medication • bathing and grooming (large and small dogs/ some cats) Im currently a part time college student, so my schedule is pretty open. I’m available 4 days out of the week, but I can be flexible. I love going on walks and I love animals, so taking your fur baby for a stroll would be my pleasure. Before sitting in a clients home, I like to become familiar with what their pet’s day to day life looks like. I like to know what the pet is comfortable/uncomfortable with. I also like to familiarize myself with their feeding/ medication schedule. My goal is to make sure that all pets that I care for are safe and happy. For dogs that are able to, I ensure at least one 15-20 min walk per visit, and maybe even a visit to the dog park if there is one within walking distance. Interactive play is also something that I like to incorporate, whether it’s outside or inside! I can also get pets in and out of crates if need be.
About: Whether you’re traveling for work or just need a helping hand, I provide trustworthy and loving dog sitting in a safe environment. With reliable communication, updates, and plenty of care, your pup will feel comfortable, happy, and well looked after. I work part-time from home, and my husband also works from home. We have 3 kids who are in school, and love animals as much as we do - so your pets are guaranteed lots of snuggles! We have a fenced-in yard with one indoor/outdoor cat, Molly. We offer lots of yard play time, and walks throughout the pet-friendly neighborhood. Molly is used to other animals being around, but can easily enjoy some time in our finished basement, should they have any issues getting along.
About: A friendly, responsible couple who treats every pet like family. We have 6 years of experience with puppies and small dogs. Our family has three dogs and two cats, and we took care of all of them since they were born. We make sure our furry friends have all the care and affection they need. My husband and I have flexible jobs. We can accommodate our time with yours with no issues. We just need a few days in advance for the bookings. We take care of them, and we protect them as if they were our pets. We have a lot of patience and affection for those furry family members of yours.
About: Since I was a little girl I have taken care of and worked with dogs. From bullies to dobies I have grown up with and taken care of energetic fur babies of all sizes. I am experienced in bathing, walks, food, and play-time with leash and potty training also under my belt. I want to provide your pet with the best care and I will work with you to ensure just that. I have nothing but love for our fur pals and I will make sure that they are receiving the highest level of care, love, and comfort. I do work full-time as an EMT, but I am flexible with the schedule set up in my calendar. If you need me for any times outside of what is booked just send me a message so we can work something out! I do have a fenced in yard and a gate. I have a large and small bowl for food and water as well as a comfortable adjustible collar and leash for walks.

“I would definitely use Tajae’s services again. You can tell that she is a true dog lover. At the end of each walk she even took the time to Olay with Nemo. This was a very thoughtful touch ❤️ I highly recommend her.”

Carrie was great! Prompt in replying and caring for our dogs, especially without having had a meet and greet beforehand. Carrie was through and handled our detailed instructions with care!

Janelle, Joanna and Gwendolyn walk my mom’s dog every Saturday and Sunday. I love that the three of them team together to ensure one is always available. We LOVE them. My mom has granted them granddaughter status and I love them too. They love our dog, Bela and Bela is so excited when she sees them. I highly encourage anyone who is looking for someone reliable and sweet with both animals and people to consider this wonderful team. I can’t recommend them enough.

I had the pleasure of hiring Heather for daily drop-in visit's and I honestly can't say enough good things. She is incredibly reliable, kind, and truly cares about my dog like he was hers. Maverick gets so excited every time I leave for work and tell him that Heather will coming to see him—it’s clear to me just how much trust and affection has built up between them in such a short time! Communication is excellent, with regular report card updates and fun photos from their outings. It's such a relief knowing someone so responsible is helping care for my fur baby . If you're looking for someone trustworthy, professional, and genuinely passionate about animals, I wholeheartedly recommend Heather!

Laura always takes great care of our boxer, Remi, and he always has a fun time when she comes for a walk with him! She is very communicative, always leaving a very detailed note to say how the walk went and how Remi behaved. She provides lots of great pictures as well! Laura is very responsive and flexible when booking. Remi is always happy to see her!
