“Amazing walker! Meghan took multiple pics and left comments about each walk, which made us feel comfortable and confident our boy was taken care of. Flexible with times and very kind. Will be working with Meghan from now on and would highly recommend.”
“Dmitra is the best!!! She walks our goldendoodle Griffin twice a week and is really amazing with him! Because of our schedules I usually have to tell her only a day or two in advance which days we need her help each week and she’s always really flexible and great about it! We also have cats that like to try to sneak out of the house, and she’s great about keeping an eye on them to make sure they stay in while she takes Griffin out for his walks. So glad we found her!!!”
“Ann was super responsive and very accommodating. Thank you!”
“Chelsea has been a wonderful and reliable walker for my dog, Hoagie, for several months. She does a great job of keeping me informed on how things are going on the walks and always take some nice pictures. She even brought a toy or two as a Christmas gift. I highly recommend Chelsea and so does Hoagie.”
About: Hi! We're Nikki and Stefano. We've both had dogs in our homes as long as we can remember and won't ever have it any other way. We've had dogs ranging from toy chihuahuas to heelers to our current pups, a Great Pyreneese/lab and an Australian Shephard/Red Heeler. So any dog size or breed is fine with us. We love spending time with animals and we would love to get a chance to meet new dog friends and give them the same love and attention we give to our own pups while also meeting and learning more about each different breed and their personalities. My wife works from home and i work in the office 3 days out of the week, so we are 100% flexible with our days to watch, walk, or play with your pups. I work in the office Tuesdays through Thursdays. My wife works from home and is available to watch and play with the pups all day. We have a good sized fenced back yard that our two dogs love to run around in so your dogs will have plenty of time to hang out and play outside or relax and take naps inside.
“Jagger had a nice first walk/stroll with Lara. She communicated well and followed the tips we discussed at the meet and greet. He looks forward to their next walk. Thanks!”
“Sydney's been great. Punctual and communicative. Would recommend!”
“10/10 recommend. Does a great job with my dog.”
“Christof is excellent! I moved to the area and last minute needed to find a new dog walker. I contacted Christof the night before and he helped my dog the next afternoon! He let me know in advance his availability which I appreciate greatly because I am a planner. He follows all of my instructions perfectly and takes into account my dog's senior age, quirks, the weather conditions, etc. to make sure my dog is as safe as possible. Dogs are great judges of character and my dog has been happy with Christof from the moment they met. My dog and I are thrilled to have found Christof! I highly recommend him to anyone in need of pet care!”
“J.M. was great with my dog Grits. They came on time, gave a thorough report, and sent some cute proof of life pictures that brightened up my day at work. Thank you J.M.!”
“She is fantastic! She is now my weekly dog walker for my two dogs.”
About: I have lived with dogs since I was born, and have experience walking and taking care of mutts, pit mixes, German Shepard, and labs. I live a short walk from schenley park, and can go on runs with your dog if they want some extra exercise. I work from home Monday and Friday, and have the flexibility to go out for multiple potty breaks and walk during that time. I am generally very free on the weekends as well. I have a large front yard, and have no other pets in my house. I have room for a crate if you have one (do not own one), and a decent sized living space.
About: Compassionate and responsible, I work part time as a pediatric nurse practitioner. I am experienced in caring for humans babies, so I will give great care for your fur babies. I’m currently working part time during the evenings, so I am free during the day to care for your pets while you are at work! When caring for your pets, there is no need to worry about your space. I I will be respectful to you and your pet's space!
“Ashley is awesome! She’s super responsive to texts and flexible. She takes care of Shiloh like her own hound dogs, and he looks forward to her every time. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
“Natalie made me feel like I could easily leave town & enjoy myself knowing Ozzy was being well cared for! Not only does she have a great vibe that I picked up on, but Ozzy did as well. She walked him, played with him, & fed him while I was away. I would 100% recommend her services!”
About: I've lived with animals pretty much my entire life. I've had two dogs, two rats, a mouse, a ferret, and seven cats total. I often pet sit my friends and families dogs and cats and even guinea pigs and geckos. So while I don't have any trained professional experience in pet care, I do have an abundance of personal experience. I absolutely adore animals so I will do my best to treat yours with as much care as I have. This is my full time job so I will be available for all of my listed services every day of the week from 8 am - 10 pm preferably in day light hours. I am very flexible with my hours so I can prioritize your schedule. While walking your pet I will remain vigilant to ensure its safety. I will follow any rules/instructions given to me such as how/if to interact with other people/animals.
“Claire was great in accepting a walk booking for my Winnie at a time that was just hours away from my same-day request in a pinch and really helped me out when no other Rovers could. She was prompt, prepared, and very kind/patient and I would absolutely book her again.”
About: I’ve worked at a dog and cat boarding and daycare center for over three years, and have years of experience cat sitting for my neighbor. I’ve worked both in the kennel and daycare and have experience in different areas of animal care. As a recent graduate, I have more free time! I am a recent college graduate who works part time at a kennel. I am always able to make time to care for pets and adapt my schedule! I cater to the needs of the animal and owner. With having experience with different needs of an animal at my boarding and daycare job, I have an understanding of how to reach those needs.
“Followed all of my (many) instructions and sent a lot pictures throughout the visit. Very timely and responsive.”
“Amazing! kirsten took great care of my pup/daughter/princess and made sure she was always smiling and well hydrated on hot days. As a new young professional to the area Kirsten has been able to adjust her schedule to help me when I have to travel at a moment’s notice. Once again, does an amazing job!”

Julia F.
“Julia is a very caring and attentive animal lover. Animals tend to be drawn to her because she is calm and respectful of their needs based on their body language. I know that our dogs and cat are in great hands when Julia takes care of them.”
Diana Z.
“Diana is one of my sweetest friends. She is responsible, hardworking and loves pets! She has foster failed her own dog, Neko, a beautiful husky and I have no doubt she will do well in taking care of other dogs as well. Frequently, when my family and I go on a trip and we are unable to bring our dog, she takes care of our dog, Ellie. She gives me updates and I think that Ellie goes on more walks with Diana than with us. She is so happy and healthy when she returns to us. I highly recommend Diana!”
