“Kerri has been walking Zuko (mostly) daily for about a month and she has been wonderful! We have a flexible schedule and she is extremely responsive, Zuko loves her and has great fun on their walks. She is always prepared with extra poop bags and is always willing to refill his water or feed him lunch or give him a treat before leaving if ever I’ve requested it! If you need a regular walker in the area I’d definitely recommend her!”
About: I have been a pet lover all my life! Because I live in a condo with no yard, my family and I agreed it is not fair to have any pets. As a compromise, we offer to pet sit for our family and friends every chance we get. I have taken care of new born kittens, cats of all ages, small and medium sized dogs as well as blind dogs. I am very comfortable with dogs and truly love them! I love to play, walk and snuggle! As a graduate student I have free time during the day to care for your pets and I live in a pet friendly home for your overnight needs. It would bring me great joy to take care of your pets!
“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!”
“Courtney is great! She was professional, helpful, and communicative. She handled my one year old 55-pound dog well. I would be happy to recommend her and hire her again!”
About: For the past few years now I’ve been a dog sitter for my family and friends, walking, playing, feeding, and cleaning up after them I can house sit, dog walk, and do drop in visits, Any time of the day Mondays to Fridays, And weekends if needed anything works. I get to learn pets usually routine. How many times a day to walk them, when and how to feed them, and their bed time.
About: Hi! I’m an animal husbandry trainer for seals and sea lions. However, I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, and goats! I can’t wait to meet your furry friend. I can also take care of fish and do water quality and system maintenance. I am available all day and night Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday! I also have availability after 6:00pm Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I work from Thursday-Saturday at an aquarium (7am-4:30). I will make sure that your pet is treated with proper care and attention. If you have a shy animal, I will be happy to be patient, soft voiced, and gentle. If you have a energetic animal I will gladly match their energy!
“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!”
About: I've been around animals my entire life and have experience with both dogs and cats. I volunteered at the SPCALA animal shelter for several years, helping care for animals of all ages and personalities. I grew up with two cats and have also fostered pets, giving me experience helping animals adjust to new environments. I had a beloved dog who lived into her 20s, and my family recently foster-failed our newest dog. After recently moving to the area, I'm away from my dog and definitely missing having animals around every day. Caring for pets brings me so much joy, and I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same love, attention, and care that I've always given my own. I am currently on summer break from my teaching position and working remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule throughout the week. Because my work is portable, I can be available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship during hours when many sitters may be unavailable. My schedule allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care rather than just quick check-ins. As a teacher, I am responsible, patient, detail-oriented, and comfortable following routines, all of which translate well to providing dependable care for your pets. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I live in a spacious apartment in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood near a lake, which provides a great environment for walks, exercise, and enrichment. Potty breaks are easy and frequent since I live on the second floor with quick access outside. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, feeding according to their schedule, and lots of affection. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I am happy to follow any instructions regarding routines, medications, exercise, training, or special care. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the same respect and care that I would my own.
“Madison is great! She was available last minute and did a perfect job with Charlie! He was always well cared for and happy when I got home. She is reliable and caring! Will definitely book again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Winnie and Finn loved their walks with Lesley! We booked Lesley for 4 consecutive days of 60 minute walks. She was a good communicator and was one time. She handled Winnie (74 lbs) and Finn (20 lbs) with ease and kept them safe and happy. Lesley varied the route to keep things interesting for them. I would recommend Lesley without hesitation and would definitely use her again.”
About: I currently have two senior dogs of my own. I am currently pursuing my associate degree in animal science. I have taken several classes on canine behavior, nutrition, and common health issues. I'm currently working part time, but your pets will be my priority. I have pretty open availability. During the summer I don't have classes, so I am looking to fill my time. With my two senior dogs, I am experienced animals who have health issues and providing medication regularly. I have a safe, realible vehicle to transport the animals if needed. I have experience training and coping with difficult behaviors.
“Daniela was such a pleasure walking our Great Pyrenees, Colby!!! He gets SO excited to see her and would come back in such a good mood. She provided excellent updates each walk and always on time and highly communicative. HIGHLY recommend Daniela!”
About: I can assist with a baby or with keeping a senior comfortable! Administering medication, bathing, walks, litter and leash training, or a simple warm cuddle! Pet care is my full time gig. Within my currently visible schedule, I am fully available to assist you and your pets with all needs. I will take my time to allow your pet to adjust to my presence, long sniffs, silent observation, and predictable movements to keep your pet calm!
About: As an owner of an anxious but loveable Shiba, I fully recognize every dog has unique needs. I have experience caring for dogs of all temperaments, including doggos who may need a little extra patience and understanding. I always try to adjust my care to suit each dog’s comfort level! Generally, I am available mid morning to late evenings but will try to accommodate based on your needs. I am also often available for last minute bookings, so feel free to check in! I have a flexible work schedule and am home most days of the week, making it easy for me to check in on your dog, go for a walk, or care for your pup while staying with me! I always follow the dog’s lead and get to know their personality to the extent possible. I approach any type of pet care with patience and flexibility, knowing not every dog is the same. Whether your pup is anxious and shy or playful and trusting, I want to meet them where they are. I’ll also stick closely to your instructions, be communicative and send lots of photos!
“We absolutely love James! What really stood out to us is how much time he took to get to know our pup before even going on their first walk together. He didn’t just show up and clip the leash—he sat with her, probably learned her little quirks, asked questions, and made sure she felt comfortable and safe. That kind of care is rare, and it meant the world to us 💛 Highly, highly recommend!”

Fernanda is the best dog walker! She treats our dog like she’s her own and is very communicative with us when she has Piper. We get plenty of pictures and updates while they’re together. She took the time to come meet Piper before she started walking her which put us at ease to see how they interacted together so well before walks! 10/10 would recommend
Alicia is a fantastic dog walker and human being. Alicia came over first to meet our doggies and asked good questions and was very loving towards both of our dogs (one of whom barks a lot). When we were away and the dogs were at my in-laws, Alicia communicated beautifully with them and most importantly, was very prompt and consistent each day. It can be hard to win them over and Alicia did so with flying colors. We most definitely will ask Alicia to take care of our pups again in the future. Thank you so much, Alicia, for a job well done!
I highly recommend Sophia! She's reliable and responsible. Her energy is gentle and positive. My girl, who has horrible separation anxiety, is slow to trust usually, but never looked back when Sophia offered a walk. It is a huge comfort to have someone as trustworthy as Sophia.
