Brad took exceptionally good care of the cats. He was great at keeping me informed of their well being and sending pictures. He was even able to coax the shy ones out of the shadows. He also fed my aquarium fish.Would highly recommended.

Charles was above and beyond what we expected. We have an English Bulldog, and he whined when he left. It was obvious he really does love animals and treats them with respect. He sent us updates throughout our absence, and kept in close contact. 5-star rating from us and highly recommended.

We and our kitties are SOOO blessed each time we get to have Laura take care of them. They love her so much. They are very, very elderly and fragile, but she knows exactly how to handle them with love, gentness and skill. When we see them after she has cared for them they are always extra peppy and in beautiful condition. I can tell they love her so much that they want her to stay and they accuse me of hiding her from them. I can’t say enough that we are so thankful. This last time we booked her, I forgot something extremely important but she anticipated it simply because she thinks about what they need and cares so much about how they feel. What a wonderful person and we are just so thankful for her!

About: Hello! I have 2 years of experience with dog walking + a handful of occasions where I have been trusted to pet-sit / board. I consider myself a loyal dog (and cat!) owner with a great work ethic. For the 2 years of dog walking, I walked a German Shepard — his name was Val. I walked Val consistently, in weather that ranged from 90-40 degrees Fahrenheit, up until his owner moved into a nursing home and Val was rehomed. I loved the big guy like he was my own dog - filling his water, scooping out his dog food, brushing him out, and playing fetch. I never missed a day I was scheduled unless there was a sudden change in plans (I was sick, she cancelled my walk, or an event took place where I couldn't arrive in time to walk him). Recently, my family has adopted our beloved goldendoodle puppy — Corduroy. I love him unconditionally, and so much of my free time is spent helping him get his energy out. I am a homeschooler, with all days free except for Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings. For walking purposes, I am available any time it is not dark outside and not preoccupied. Please note that my price for drop-ins, overnight care, and dog walking vary by location. The closer you are, the cheaper it will be. Below is how I determine payment: 0-5 miles from my home and/or workplace = $40 per night / drop in / walk Every additional 0.5 mile is $1 I make sure everything is taken care of. From basic expectations to leaving the house exactly how I found it — if not better. If it’s not my house or my pet, then I’m obligated to go by my clients rules.

Abby has been great to work with and took such good care of my dog! She even offered an extra visit because my dog is afraid of thunderstorms and wouldn’t go outside in the rain to go potty. She genuinely cared about him and that made me feel so much more at ease leaving him in her care. Thank you so much Abby!🙂

Eleni was amazing for us this week! We’ve never left our three dogs for this long and ended up having a few curveballs, but she graciously handled a dog in heat and a few days of unexpected diarrhea. She went above and beyond and kept us updated every step of the way. We would absolutely use her again in a heartbeat.

Mia was amazing! My 2 cats are super shy and never come out when we have stranger in the house but she sent pictures each visit of them out and about! She was super sweet and very quick to respond to any messages. She stayed for a bit each visit even though I told her she didn’t have to worry about staying for long since they typically hide 🤣 Will definitely rebook with her!!
