“Maria really helped me out with my two dogs on very short notice. She was responsive and kind. Maria provided several pictures during the walks with realtime updates. I'd definitely trust her again with my dogs!”
About: I’m currently training to be a therapist so I have a keen sense for emotions… pets included! I’ve dog sat for family numerous times and am hoping to branch out. I love being around animals, am a very easy guest, and will happily send you any pictures of your pets! I have class 1-9pm on Monday and Wednesday but am mostly free otherwise! I get up early to swim twice a week (Fri and Sat), but can go straight back if needed. I don’t do much, so I’m pretty open! I’m willing to do whatever I can to help the pet feel safe and welcomed. Whether they want to play, rest, eat, or walk, I’m happy to help them out!
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: I have loved and cared for dogs since I was a child. Neighbors and friends have always trusted me to look after their pets, knowing the genuine care and affection I provide. Over the years, I decided to turn this passion into a meaningful part of my life. With over 10 years of experience, caring for pets has become more than a job—it is truly my passion. I also have experience training puppies at home, helping them develop good habits and positive behaviors from an early age. I understand that leaving your pet can be difficult, but you can feel confident knowing they will receive the love, attention, and dedication they deserve. I ensure my home is a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment—your pet’s home away from home. Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule to ensure timely feeding, regular walks, dedicated playtime, and close observation of each pet’s behavior. On a weekly basis, I carry out hygiene tasks, check supplies, and monitor overall well-being. I focus on maintaining consistency, as it helps reduce stress and supports each pet’s health and happiness. “I provide personalized pet care in both my home and my client’s home, always following each pet’s routine, including feeding, exercise, and any special needs. In my home, I offer a safe, secure, and pet-friendly environment with a fully fenced yard to ensure dogs can play safely. In a client’s home, I maintain their routine to reduce stress and ensure comfort. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication with regular updates to owners.”
About: I have well over a decade caring for fur babies! With me, you can trust your babies will be in terrific hands. From growing up with my own pets, and caring for others, I have tons of experience I have dogs, cats, frogs, and fish. My babies are cared for and loved on daily. I am happy to accommodate your pets schedule to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. I understand how stressful it can be having someone care for your pets. At my home, you can have piece of mind that we have a fenced in yard. If caring at your home, I can offer drop in visits, or stay there. Daily check ins will be provided.
“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: I've grown up around animals (cats, dogs, & snakes) and actively cared for them for as long as I can remember! I currently own 2 cats and foster three more, one of whom has special needs. My partner and I also have a room full of fish tanks, both fresh and saltwater, so finned friends are no problem. I have owned reptiles previously, so I am open to a wide variety of pets (or plants) in all shapes and sizes. My availability is very open, since pet-sitting is my primary job. Weekends or weekdays work equally well for me. I will structure my schedule around whatever pet I am house-sitting for, to give you the peace of mind that they're healthy and happy while you aren't home. Each animal is unique— I love spending quality time with them so I can get to know their individual personalities and quirks. I enjoy putting in the extra effort to earn their trust. I am experienced with elderly pets, and can give medications if necessary. I can help maintain long-haired pets' coats. I have seen all sorts of pet-related messes, and I have no problem cleaning them up. I will gladly learn the needs of each pet, and adapt to make them as comfortable as possible while you're away!
“Catherine did not hesitate to walk my dog when I needed someone last minute! She was caring and listened to my requests when it came to my pup! Will definitely be rebooking her for the future!”
“Irene is simply fantastic. She is prompt, asks a lot of questions to ensure she is prepared, and quick to respond. She has been kind when our schedule has changed and my dog loves her. Cant recommend enough!”
“Crissy has been great! She takes great care of my dog and they are really getting along. Crissy is very communicative and let's me know how things went when she comes to see Yuzu. I'm very happy to have found Crissy to help me with Yuzu.”
About: I specialize with big dogs and elderly dogs. I'm a taller guy with a longer walking stride so larger dogs can get more for workout. My schedule is daily throughout the whole day. I normally like to plan 24 hours in advance but if my schedule is open I don't mind same day or last minute. Tuesday -Thursday from 11am-3pm I am not available I currently have no pets right now at my home I do have a rather large backyard. At the parents home, I do make sure that the pets are well fed and hydrated before leaving unless otherwise told.
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.
“In the short time that Elise helped me with my dog she was very responsible and truly helpful. She was always very communicative and very positive. I will definitely look for her again. Very reliable!”
“Denise is very caring, kind, patient, and loving towards Dusty and Malala. As Malala can be a handful and her attention span is all over the place, Denise just knew what to do to keep her track in the most kind and loving way. We’re so lucky to have had Denise as our walker. We will be using her more often. She also gave a detailed report card, and lots of pictures which is helpful to see how their walks went. Thank you for all your help, Denise! ❤️❤️❤️”
“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!”
About: My mom is a veterinarian so I have always been around animals. I have fostered and cared for many animals throughout my life having grown up on a farm. I also am currently training a service dog which is very rewarding! I am home from college right now, so my daily life doesn’t really change much. I am pretty much available for your animal at any moment of the day! I want to make sure your animals feel safe in their space without you for a little while! I want to disrupt their routine as little as I can and my priority is caring for them!
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: My parents got our 1st dog when I was only in Kindergarten and we grew up side by side, which is why I love dogs! Consequently, I started pet sitting about 15 years ago when I was still in high school. Taking care of my friends' and neighbors' pets helped me raise money for summer service trips. During college and into my adulthood, I cared for our family dogs as they grew old and more needy. Through the years, I have gotten to know many cute fur babies and I would love to meet yours! **Unfortunately, due to a cat allergy, I am not able to accept cat sitting requests.** I am substitute teacher on summer vacation, so my schedule is generally open. I am plenty available to spend some quality time with your pets while you're away! Please let me know if your dog is afraid of any particular people, animals, or inanimate objects i.e.( men, thunderstorms, vacuums). I will always have your dog leashed as we take walks. If your dog also uses a harness, I am happy to accommodate that as well. Sadly, if you also have cats in your home, I cannot provide you with my services due to a cat allergy. **Unfortunately, due to a cat allergy, I am not able to accept cat sitting requests.**

Stephanie has been an exceptional dog walker for our golden retriever, Willie, consistently showing up on time three days a week without fail. She is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly cares deeply about the pets she looks after. Willie always gets long, engaging walks, and it’s obvious he enjoys his time with her. Stephanie does a fantastic job keeping us informed with detailed updates, including bathroom breaks and how he’s doing at home. We feel completely confident and grateful to have her taking care of Willie.
We loved having Michelle sit for Penny! The whole experience was completely seamless. Michelle followed Penny's normal walking routine perfectly, so Penny barely noticed we were gone. She is super responsive and wonderful with updates. We will absolutely be booking her again!
Denise is very caring, kind, patient, and loving towards Dusty and Malala. As Malala can be a handful and her attention span is all over the place, Denise just knew what to do to keep her track in the most kind and loving way. We’re so lucky to have had Denise as our walker. We will be using her more often. She also gave a detailed report card, and lots of pictures which is helpful to see how their walks went. Thank you for all your help, Denise! ❤️❤️❤️
Sophie was wonderful with my pup!! She was kind, patient, and it was clear she genuinely cares about animals. What I appreciated most was her flexibility. She was willing to meet with me and my dog on short notice, which meant a lot!! She was friendly, reliable, and her communication was top tier. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker. I am rebooking her right now :)
Michelle was amazing. My pittie can be very territorial and energetic and Michelle was very understanding and patient in getting to know my dog. I definitely recommend Michelle if you’re in need of any services and/or have a pet that can be a bit of a challenge behaviorally. 10/10
Anyone who can take my dogs when it comes to walks is special. Not to mention he came even though it started to snow to the point where it's a really wet snow. I'm very grateful because they seemed extra down and bored today. I definitely will think of him in the future.
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.
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.
