“London took to Alina right away. Alina was very communicative and sent me pictures of London during their walk. I plan on using Alina to walk London in the future.”

About: Hi! I'm currently a nursing student with 7+ years of experience walking and caring for dogs, including senior doggos! I’m dependable, punctual, and always make sure sure each dog feels safe and has a good time outside! Currently I’m in school with a very flexible schedule. I’m available on weekends, most mornings and evenings, and any time on Thursdays! My schedule might change here and there but I’m pretty flexible- reach out if you need coverage outside of my listed availability! I try to make pets feel as comfortable and cared for as they do with you! I stick to their usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, meds if needed—and give them lots of attention and affection. I’ll also send updates and pics so you know they’re doing great while you’re away!
“Molly saved us when we were in a pinch with long work days! She sent a bunch of pictures, communicated the whole time, super accommodating to our special requests, Bailey was comfortable enough to be with her right away, & loved her walks! Couldn’t recommend Molly enough for your pup!”
“Terri walked, fed, and snuggled with our dog Annie a few evenings while I was traveling for work. She was always prompt with communication, sent pictures and recaps of her visit, and mapped their walking route. We will definitely call her again when we need a sitter!”
“Tanya was able to help me on very short notice when my regular walker was injured. My two older dogs loved her and she was very reliable and great at communicating. We’re all very grateful to, and would highly recommend Tanya.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have been their caretaker/always looking out for their happiness and health! I’ve also administered medications both oral and subcutaneous, helped with physical therapy, puppy training and senior care. I currently work part time and I care for pets at home including my dogs in a neighboring state! I’m great at time management and making sure everyone receives the attention they deserve! I am also very adaptable and in my own home I care for 2 kittens and 1 senior cat as well as 3 enclosed reptiles! I am well experienced in pet clean up and most pet care needed; I also always look out for the safety of my pets and am very aware of their behavior to ensure their well-being!
“Laurie was fantastic! She was great with Piper and consistent! Very attentive!”
“Melinda is a caring and a dependable dog walker - our pup loves her!”
“Sylvia is incredible! She noticed my dog wasn't feeling well on his walk and immediately let me know. She then stayed with him until I was able to rush home and take over. Your furry friend is in the best possible hands with her!”
“Lori has been so wonderful with our pup! He can be very attached to us at times and she's been so patient with him. Now he is scratching at the door to walk with her when she arrives! We feel so lucky to have Lori as our dog walker and know Maverick is in such good care!”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I have had experience with 'difficult' dogs that just need a little patience. Plenty of positive reinforcement goes a long way! I can only provide services in the evening on weekdays and at any time on the weekend, please reach out so that we can align on the best time! Trust is priority number one for you and your dog. My goal is to make sure your dog is comfortable with my presence and care.
About: I provide personalized care with many years of experience caring for puppies and senior dogs, ensuring their unique needs are met with attention, patience, and care. Pet care is a key part of my routine. Having a 13-year-old King Charles Cavalier who was a big part of my life taught me how important love, attention, and consistency are in caring for dogs. I bring that same dedication to every dog I care for. I care for pets by maintaining their routines and providing comfort in both my home and clients’ homes. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just companionship, I make sure pets feel relaxed and well-cared for.
About: I've had a dog of my own for about 10 years, and I’ve also cared for other dogs for up to 5 days at a time. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I love being around dogs—they genuinely make me happy. I’m comfortable with puppies and senior dogs and always try to adjust to each dog’s pace and needs. I treat every dog like my own and aim to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work remotely with flexible hours, so I’m available for regular walks throughout the day. I love taking breaks to get outside, and walking dogs is the perfect way to add movement and joy to my daily routine. I do my best to follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh food and water, get plenty of playtime and affection (if they want it!), and keep their space clean. I respect the client’s home, leave everything as I found it, and always keep in touch with updates and photos.
“Sarah has been great with my pup. She is prompt, responsive, and takes my dog on long walks to tucker him out while I'm in the office. I highly recommend Sarah, as I'm sure that she will quickly become friends with your few baby.”
“Fernanda was great. Very punctual and took some time to ask me questions and get to know my dog before going on their walk. She has a positive and upbeat demeanor which made the whole experience enjoyable. She is someone I will use regularly and can trust will take care of my dog as I would.”
“Laura was amazing! A great combination of professionalism and caring for my 2 dogs while I was away for a week.”
“Rosemary was wonderful! So communicative and prompt. Always keeping me informed of everything going on. My little guy was a little shy at first so she brought her own dog as a companion and it worked like a charm. She's great!”
“Frances and Julia did a great job with Marge! They spent extra time hanging out with her after the walk. Marge looked so happy in the photos and we are very appreciative!”

Ashley S.
“I can’t say enough good things about Ashley! It is very clear how much she cares about animals. Our dogs absolutely love her and get so excited when they see her. Ashley is punctual, trustworthy and always goes above and beyond. She always makes time to send us a cute photo or video of our pups. It gives us peace of mind knowing our dogs are in such loving and capable hands. One of our pups, Bentley, has bilateral hip dysplasia and it can be challenging finding someone who truly understands how to care for a dog with mobility challenges, but Ashley is incredibly patient, gentle and attentive to Bentleys needs. Ashley has been amazing with our puppy, Woody. Ashley flew from Boston to North Carolina to meet the breeder and bring our Woody home. She clearly has experience with young dogs. She has helped reinforce training, kept Woody safe and socialized. We are so lucky to have found someone who treats our dogs like their own. Highly recommend Ashley!”

“When my partner and I needed to quickly find someone to take care of our pets (1 cat, 1 dog, and 2 birds) while we went out of town for a week, Josh didn't hesitate to offer us a hand!

He was also a very responsive when my partner and I checked in to make sure things were going well. We would definitely ask him to take care of out pets again!”
