“Jacob is great!!! My female usually doesn’t like men and she liked him right away. Jacob’s always on time, he’s very caring of the pups and I’m very happy i found him. I’ve used him several times and will continue to do so in the future. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.”
“Thank you Caroline for being available last minute! She was able to handle my crazy, energetic pitbull with ease and also took great photos! Would highly recommend her.”
“Symba is the kindest and our senior girls love him. He’s very gentle with them and always greets them (and says good bye) with so much affection. Hes also very helpful with keeping up with their training and giving them treats after saying commands.”
About: I treat pets like they’re my own. I naturally use nicknames and talk to them with love and comfort so they feel safe and cared for. I’m gentle, patient, and really in tune with their energy—whether they need play, cuddles, or space. I’m available Friday through Sunday and don’t work on those days, so I dedicate my full attention to the pets I’m caring for. I love getting outside for walks around the neighborhood or going on nature trails if your dog enjoys the outdoors. In my home, your pet will have their own room to relax and sleep in. I have other pets, but I do slow introductions or keep them separate depending on your pet’s needs. They’ll get breaks to socialize if they’re friendly, or stay in their own space if they prefer that.
“Jorge was an excellent communicator, pre-booking, at pick up, and drop off. My dog, Ocho, was very excited upon meeting Jorge. The walk went above the extended time. I peaked out the window and saw Jorge playing and running on the grass with my dog, which he loves! By the time they made it back upstairs, Jorge was sweatingggg! Ocho gave him a good workout lol. Ocho also wanted to stay with Jorge, which is always a good sign! Can’t wait to book Jorge again!”
“Rosie has been walking my Finley for a while now. He’s reactive with high anxiety which makes coming in and out of a 30 floor apartment building challenging. She communicated her experiences with me and we work through them. She’s my go to call when I have plans and want him to have company. She’s been great all around.”
“Kimberly was very friendly, and played ball with Maple.”
About: During the 20 years of experience I have gained as a pet sitter, I have become someone who goes above and beyond what an average sitter will do. I adhere to specific guidelines set by the owner so that their pet receives the exact type of care they are requesting. I have experience with senior animals as well. I have administered prescription medications as needed and I am very timely. To choose me is to choose the "best of the best" in what you'll be looking for in a animal care provider! I am a dedicated pet sitter. I have open availability and I am very accommodating. Being able to provide these types of services for pet owners has become a passion of mine since my youth. I will be able to commit to my bookings and provide top tier animal care services to all who choose to request me. The animals I have cared for are always within my view. I follow the pet owners specific instructions for care so that they have peace of mind knowing their pet is cared for. I do my best to ensure that the pets have minimal disruption to their daily routine.
“Krstine is AMAZING. This was our first time hiring a dog walker/sitter outside of the family and I could not have chosen a better person than Kristine. She is so caring and attentive and you can tell is a true animal lover. She made sure to know everything there was to know about my dog, made sure the temperature in our home was cool enough for her, made sure her water bowl was full and she had her pre-approved treats, and sent me updates and pictures. Every picture my baby had the biggest smile on her face and I am so happy to have found someone that I quickly came to trust so completely with her. Thank you Kristine!”
About: I’ve taken care of lovely and aggressive dogs. I find it very cherishing with building trust with animals. Additionally, I can run fast and love playing with dogs, so them not being tired won’t be an issue. I will be taking a summer session soon for college but I am flexible with time. I am able to open my schedule to help with your schedule and pet. With my dogs, I make sure they are happy and feel comfortable first and foremost. When walking them I’ll make sure there is no food on the ground or other distractions that’ll upset them. I know dogs are different for interacting with strangers so if a dog is unsafe it is best to move where the dog feels safer in, when walking.
“Kameryn took such wonderful care of my dogs. A+ communication. Had such great peace of mind knowing my dogs were with her. Would love to work with her again!”
About: Hi, I'm Gabby! I’m a proud pet parent to a corgi, a cat, and a tortoise—each with their own unique needs. I treat my pets like my kids and am ALWAYS looking to give more love to other fur babies! I’ve cared for friends’ cats and done check-ins for their dogs. I’m experienced with pets of all ages—from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler touch. I have also administered medications to my own pets for years, so I’m confident in handling medications for others as well. Animals are my happy place, and I’d love to give your babies the love and care they deserve! I am currently off from my current job for about a month and a half and am looking to earn some extra cash in the meantime! My current lifestyle allows for a lot of flexibility during the work week, so I am open to doggy/cat care all times of the day. My weekends are not as open, however, with some future planning, I could make myself available! I do not plan to have a doggy day-care in my own home, however, in a clients home I guarantee that I will stick to their fur babies daily schedule as well as any specific instructions I am given about their care! If I have any questions regarding their care, know that I will reach out to ensure I am sticking to your pets correct right routine!
“Buster had a great time with Antonio today! Lorre and Antonio are very attentive and caring and pay attention to the small details. They’re also very communicative and keep you informed. Thank you much!”
About: As a mom myself (both a dog-mom and human-mom!), I know how hard it is to leave your little fur baby behind to enjoy a fun vacation or business trip but I can assure you that with lots of photos and text updates that your little pup or kitty will be so happy in our animal-loving home! We are a vegan household so needless to say, we do not discriminate against any little or big creature (well, maybe just spiders!). Your pup will have the best care, all the couch snuggles, nice walks on grassy Pehlam Parkway dirt paths, fetch games and timely food/drink care! My 6 year old will endlessly read to him/her and my 3 year old will give them all the scratches! They are VERY good with all dogs big or small and understand the limits, they will never be left unattended with your pup! We lost our Golden Retriever and Coonhound this year and just looking to fill the small void in our home <3! So go on your trip and let us go on some fun exploring walks! Please message me with any questions! I currently work from home full time and am very active and willing to walk dog at any time in any weather... and weekends consist of some sort of activity with our children that would require us to be out of the house for 2-4 hours, no more. We have a 2 bedroom apartment with a very large living room and very large windows that dogs love to look out of! You are welcome to bring your dog bed, we have plenty of space, and a nice dark hallway if they want some peace and quiet :)
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep passion for animal care and my professional training as a veterinary student. I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide variety of animals—from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs. My experience in veterinary settings means I’m comfortable handling all kinds of behaviors, administering basic medications if needed, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort early on. Beyond my education, I truly love spending time with animals. Whether it’s a high-energy walk or a gentle stroll with a senior pup, I tailor my care to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Safety, patience, and affection are always my top priorities. When your pet is with me, you can trust they’re not just getting a walk—they’re getting thoughtful care from someone who’s dedicated to their health and happiness. I also have a furry daughter named Luna and she is the black pitbull terrier mix! She is the sweetest and is pictured in my profile! I love her as my own, and always been surround by different types of animals my whole life! I love them. I’m currently on break from vet school, so I have plenty of time, love, and energy to give your fur babies the attention they deserve! Pets in my care are treated like family! I have a fenced-in yard for safe play and a calm, spacious home where they can relax and roam freely.
About: I absolutely love pets and being around them makes me overall a better person. I am experienced in administering oral medications and injections. I adore every dog and treat every as my own🫶🏻 I work 1 part-time job with no more than 28 hours a week. I also am in control of the schedules, so I make my own schedules. I go to college, but Spring semester has just ended so I will be available since I will not have classes to attend. I currently have no other pets in the house, which makes a safe environment for reactive dogs or dogs who just don’t like other dogs in general. I have a yard available as well as parks in close proximity to my house.
“Great! Always on time and she really cares for the well being of Bailey. I will be a regular customer. Thank you”
“crystal was professional and communicative! she accommodated us last minute and took great care of our pup!”
“We had such a great experience with Erin! She took such wonderful care of our dog, who can be difficult on a leash, while we were away for the weekend. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. She was communicative, responsible, and our dog clearly loved all the walks and attention! We would absolutely recommend Erin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. Can’t wait to book again!”
About: Hi! I work as a teacher in different homes and therefore have a flexible schedule. I love animals and have a cat myself. I have been dog sitting for many years and thoroughly enjoy it! I have lots of energy and like to be outside so I’m eager to go out on long or short walks depending on their needs and to give them lots of attention while their owners are away. I have dog sat for big dogs and little dogs and multiple dogs at once. I have experience with dogs that are anxious and have worked with trainers in the past when asked to by owners. I am very patient and responsible and will treat your dog as if it is my own! I’m currently working part time and have a flexible schedule in which I can provide walks or visits. I have a car and I am able to travel if needed. I am very respectful of others houses. I like to make sure the pet feels comfortable and gets lots of attention while their people are gone. I

15. Amanda M.
“Amanda has been a god send for us, she was a great recommendation from a friend. Amanda has taken care of my 3 yr old Chapo (Frenchie/ Blue Merle) a few times, at times for a day or two or a week at a time. I travel often, either to other states and/ or other countries, where at times communication is difficult and I do not have any problems leaving Chapo with her. And I do not like leaving him with everyone or just anyone, I am very particular just because he is very very spoiled. He is very active and playfull, she understands his language of needs, foods and attention. Amanda has demonstrated an understanding for his needs and mine. He loves being around her, and I love how she takes care of him. What also made me more comfortable is that she is a Veterinary student and can understand and react to any immediate changes or reaction to him.”
