“Tina was so helpful! She responded to my request on Rover almost immediately which was very helpful since it was a last minute request. She came over for a meet and greet so that she could understand our house and meet Ashe. Her walk with Ashe was exactly 30 minutes and Ashe seemed happy as could be from the photos she sent us! Excited to keep working with Tina.”

“Makenna was tasked with walking my very energetic, young, German Shepherd. She did not disappoint! My dog seemed to love walking with her, and Makenna has been very respectful, patient, and loving to my dog even though they just met! Makenna follows instructions to a T, is very thorough with providing me with updates, and has the utmost respect to your property and your pet! If Makenna can handle the energy of my dog, and provide it with good mid day safe exercise, she can do it for any dog. I would highly recommend Makenna for anyone’s pet care needs!”

I would still like to create new bonds, even if I'm not at the daycare!! I usually write down a schedule sheet on what your pet and I have done doing the days that I have been sitting. Always asked for permission before doing anything. Making sure everything is locked up and looking nice once I leave.

About: I've assisted in taking care of my parent's dogs for years, from a grumpy old man dog to a chaotic 6 week old puppy, whether that be playing, making food, going for walks, and cleaning up accidents. I also have experience with provided medicine as needed. I am very flexible with timing as long as I know a week prior, but if it's short notice, I am mainly available in the mornings up until noon. I make sure to play, regularly let them go to the bathroom outdoors, feed them at appropriate times and if they want their space then I respect them.
“Joanna is amazing!!!! This was my first time using a dog walking service and I was instantly comfortable with her. She went above and beyond in taking care of my girl! A great communicator with updates, scheduling, and pics/reports of my dog's behavior. I would highly recommend her if you're looking for someone to be responsible, loving, and affectionate toward your "kid", whether a pup or senior dog.”

About: Hi, I’m Kris! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have two years of professional experience working in a busy doggy daycare, where I was responsible for safely supervising and caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play, administer medications, maintain proper cleaning and disinfection protocols, and provide a safe, low-stress environment for every dog in my care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and pets with behavioral challenges or special medical needs. I’ve also fostered dogs in my home, which has given me additional experience helping nervous or transitioning pets feel safe and comfortable. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs and a cat, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a patient companion, medication, or simply lots of love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! et care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around consistency and animal care. I have experience managing multiple pets at once, so I’m used to building my schedule around feeding times, litter box maintenance, play sessions, and check-ins. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits and maintain a steady routine for each pet I care for. I’m comfortable incorporating visits into my day-to-day activities, and I plan my time so pets always get full attention without feeling rushed. Because I’ve worked in structured animal care settings and have fostered pets in my home, staying on top of routines like feeding, cleaning, medication, and companionship is second nature to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I naturally organize my day around I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care visit. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m careful with home entry and follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any house rules. I keep doors secured during visits, monitor pets closely during interactions, and make sure their environment stays clean, comfortable, and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me. I approach each animal with patience and respect, especially shy, senior, or anxious pets, and I always move at their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, consistent experience so pets feel secure while you’re away and you feel

“James was very easy going and patient with my puppy Moka. He took her for a nice extended walk, fed her and most of all, allowed her to warm up to him before he took her out.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little, and there has always been a dog in my family. Last October, I unfortunately had to put down my dog of 14 years. She was my best friend, and I miss her dearly. Since I’m not quite ready to have another full-time dog, I felt that caring for other people’s dogs would be the perfect way for me to still spend time with them. I’ve always enjoyed going on walks, visiting parks, or simply spending time outside with dogs. I truly believe dogs have such short lives, and they deserve to be loved, spoiled, and cared for every single day. Watching a dog fits naturally into my daily schedule because I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m already used to planning my day around walks, feeding times, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s going for walks, spending time outside, or simply giving them attention and companionship, I enjoy making dogs part of my routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I make sure they receive plenty of love, patience, and care throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for every dog in my care. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy time outside. I understand how important trust is when leaving a pet with someone, and I treat every dog like family by making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.

About: I’m a dog mom to three rescues (a dachshund, pit mix, and Great Pyrenees/Shepherd mix) so I’m very comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve also volunteered at City Dogs for the past year, which has given me experience with dogs of all temperaments, including anxious and high energy pups. I previously cared for a senior rescue dog, so I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attention they need. I’m also a nurse, which means I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and very attentive to safety and well-being. I also have a 14-year-old cat at home, so I’m comfortable caring for cats and understand their unique personalities, routines, and needs. I treat every dog like my own and focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine! I work part-time as a nurse four days a week and am typically home by around 2pm. This allows me to be available for afternoon walks, evening drop ins, and most weekends, plus I have one weekday fully open each week. For house sitting, the longest I’m away from your home is about 8 hours (including my commute), and I always prioritize making sure pets are comfortable, safe, and well cared for while I’m there. I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay in the environment they know and feel most comfortable in. I do my best to stick closely to their usual routines so everything feels familiar and low stress. I’m very mindful of safety, whether that’s being aware on walks, keeping doors and gates secure, or making sure pets are always supervised. I follow all care instructions carefully and treat your home and pets with the same respect I would my own. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing!!

About: From the time I was a child, my heart has always belonged to animals. Whether it was rescuing injured birds, feeding stray cats, or gently caring for lost pets until they found their way back home, I’ve always felt like their protector. My compassion has always shined through very instinctively to understand their needs and see their worth, no matter how small. Over the years, that love for them has only deepened turning simple acts of kindness into a lifelong devotion to giving animals safety, comfort, and love. Caring for animals has always been my greatest passion, and has always felt like my calling in life. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities while they are in my home. I provide a calm, clean, and pet friendly environment where animals are always supervised, treated with care, and made to feel right at home. I follow any routines, feeding instructions, and special needs you share. I am attentive to each pet’s unique personality and comfort level. With a secure space, lots of love, and close attention, you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, protected, and always well cared for while you’re away! Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine, not something I squeeze in around other commitments. I plan my schedule around feeding times, play, exercise, litter or potty breaks, and quiet companionship so each pet receives consistent, attentive care. Because caring for animals is part of my regular routine, I’m able to provide dependable supervision, follow established schedules, and respond quickly to pets needs. This steady presence helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while they are in my care. I care for pets with patience, consistency, and close attention, whether they are staying in my home or I am caring for them in yours. In my home, pets are welcomed into a safe, clean, and calm environment where they are supervised, kept comfortable, and treated like family. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely to help pets feel secure and stress free. I respect each pet’s unique needs, personality, and preferences, and I communicate with owners to ensure peace of mind. My goal is always to provide dependable, loving care so pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for wherever they are.

Tina was so helpful! She responded to my request on Rover almost immediately which was very helpful since it was a last minute request. She came over for a meet and greet so that she could understand our house and meet Ashe. Her walk with Ashe was exactly 30 minutes and Ashe seemed happy as could be from the photos she sent us! Excited to keep working with Tina.

I contacted Makenna because I saw she would run with a dog, which is exactly what I was looking for, for my Border Collie. She has exceeded my expectations, and my dog loves her. My dog sometimes wants to stretch her legs outside of my yard, and only slows down when a scent draws her attention. I am glad I found Makenna.
