I don’t think words are enough to say how thankful I am for this amazing team of two caring people. Chauna and Justin allowed me to take care of a family emergency without me having to worry about my doggies. They were kind and courteous and my dogs loved their visits. They went above and beyond! I would recommend Chauna and Justin hands down!! Thank you both 🙏🏻 so very much. -Rebekah Guarisco

Emma did an amazing job watching our little pup this week! While we were out of town she stopped in every day, fed, watered, and walked Brodie. She went above and beyond showing him love and affection and even bought supplies and doctored him up when he injured himself while home alone. 10/10, we will absolutely be using Emma every time. Thanks Emma!

About: I personally have had two dogs and one cat in my life. I grew up around dogs and cats. My current dog is almost two years old so I have experience with younger pups. I’m currently working part-time, so i’ll have an ample amount of time to have fun with your doggos. My hours are pretty flexible. I work from four to six hour shifts, four to five days a week. I’m versed in crate training, strict feeding schedules and dietary restrictions as my own dog maintains. I have a car so I don’t mind a small field trip. I also am flexible if emergencies happen.

About: I’m a background-checked veteran and experienced pet sitter who truly enjoys caring for animals. As a service dog handler, I pay close attention to routines, body language, and safety, so your pet is always in good hands. I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs; puppies, high-energy pups, anxious dogs, and seniors who need a slower, more gentle approach. I do my best to keep their routine as close to home as possible so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. Your dog will get plenty of attention, structured walks, and a calm, clean environment. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing exactly how they’re doing. My goal is simple: a happy, well-cared-for pet and total peace of mind for you. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I plan my day around the animals I’m responsible for. I focus on reliable, punctual service and consistent routines so your pet gets calm, structured care every visit. I provide calm, structured, and attentive care in both my home and my clients’ homes. As a background-checked veteran and service dog handler, I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and monitor pets for any changes in behavior. You’ll receive daily photo updates and messages so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Chuck was wonderful! It was our first time using a dog walker since we got our puppy. Chuck volunteered to come and meet our dog prior to his first drop-in free of charge which was wonderful for the dog and his parents! :) We will be using him again in the future 100%!

Ellie did such an amazing job caring for our babies while we were away including outstanding communication with messages and pictures each time she visited —it meant so much!! This was our first time having someone care for them at home and she made us feel very comfortable and it was just an overall great experience. We will definitely be calling on Ellie again in the future.

Sarah is great! We had a hectic weekend and really needed a few drop in visits. She kept us completely up to date and even sent photos. We were completely comfortable with having her take care of our two sweet pups! Will definitely rebook!

About: I’ve owned animals all of my life, and currently have 2 dogs of my own, one which I adopted as an older rescue. I spent several years working as a vet assistant, which included walking and taking care of boarded animals. I also have no problem administering medications as needed. I am also a former marine animal caretaker, at the New Orleans aquarium (10 years). I use this app to have my dogs walked if needed, and I’d be happy to do the same for anyone in my area. I work from home 3 days a week, so I could also pet sit in my home for the day! I would love to walk your dogs, take care of your cat, or even dog sit for the day in my home most days of the week (S,M,W,F,S). I’m also available for dog walking and drop-in visits on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. I have a large fenced yard where your baby can run, a kennel inside only if needed, otherwise they will be cool and comfy with me and my fur babies inside. My dogs welcome other dogs, and they would have a great time under my supervision. I would be home the entire time your dog(s) are visiting.

About: I am well versed in anything that includes animals. My father has owned a dog business for over 15 years and I have helped him throughout my whole life. I am also very well versed in horses and work for a couple people around their barn! I am a college student, but I have a very flexible schedule. I also work a few jobs but that doesn’t interfere with my scheduling. I have a fenced in yard with my own fur baby to keep your company! My roommate also has her own fur baby who will be happy to mingle with yours.

About: I have always had animals in my life. I know each one is different and special. I grew up on a farm so I know having a loving and compassionate person to care for your babies is a necessity when you have animals. I am a stay at home mom so while the kids are at school I have plenty of time to come by and play with your babies. I have a fenced in courtyard area in my home. We also have two dogs that love other dogs. One is a rescue Maltese and is 12 years old. The other is a 2 year old poodle, he is my husband's service dog so usually he is at work with my husband all day.

We generally don’t need this service often but Chuck showed up and was able to relax and bond with our 100lb GS. Thank you Chuck for helping us out and being an absolute professional. I actually think our boy misses you. We’ll be reaching out to you and this service more often.
