“Molly has been walking bowser for just over a year now and he just absolutely adores her! She’s very attentive when it comes to your dogs needs and letting you know if there’s anything out of the ordinary. She’s always been always to help out last minute if it was needed or stop by again if I had to work late. She truly makes being a pet owner so much less stressful knowing you have someone with them who cares for them as much as you do when you’re away!”

“Lauren is great. I had already booked Lauren to come on a specific day where both my husband and I work long hours. On this day, my chronic illness appeared which sometimes keeps me bedridden so Lauren kept the appointment anyway and walked Mabel. I felt such relief because I feel guilty about not giving Mabel the outdoor time and exercise that she needs when I become ill. Lauren is so dependable and Mabel clearly enjoys her.”

About: Hi, I’m Angel! I may be new to this app but I’m definitely not new to watching dogs. Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with three dogs, two beagles and a Norwegian elkhound mix, which gave me experience caring for both playful young pups and sweet senior dogs. Over the years, I have also spent time with husky jack russell mixes, rottweilers, and pugs, so I am comfortable handling a wide range of dog breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I have always been the go-to dog sitter for friends and family, and I truly love spending time with every dog I meet. My days are flexible as I work part-time , so I can easily fit in walks, playtime, or check in care around my schedule. Whether it is a weekday visit or a weekend visit, I am happy to make sure your dog gets all the love and attention they need. When caring for a dog, my top priority is always their comfort and safety. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, including meals, walks, playtime, and any special needs, so they feel secure and happy while you are away. I treat every home and pet with respect, giving them the same care and affection I would want for my own dogs!

About: I have had a dog all my life and have always helped care for them. Right now I have a newfie and a Saint Bernard. I love to take them for walks, get them treats at the doggy bakery, play fetch and tug a war, and spoil them. I would love to watch or walk your dog while you have an event or have to work. I have potty trained several dogs so if you have a puppy there is no need to worry. I am responsible, on time, and you can always count on me to clean up if necessary. Every dog I watch becomes one of my own and care for them as if they are mine. I only work part-time (about 10 hours a week) as an administrator so I am able to walk your pups through out the day. I take Sundays off usually for family day. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I make sure your dog is comfortable before leaving them in your home. I make sure that everything is safely put away before leaving.

About: Hello! I’m experienced with boarding tasks (feeding, administering medications, etc.), basic training, and in-home pet care. While I can't host pets at my place, I love coming to yours for walks, backyard play sessions, and overnight stays. **Dogs:** Happy to tire them out with walks, play, and potty breaks. **Cats:** Patient and gentle — I'll take the time to earn their trust. Previously worked with a small pet care business visiting clients' homes, so I'm comfortable following your specific instructions and treating your space with respect. Your pet stays happy at home. You stay worry-free. It’s a win-win! I’m currently working part-time at a dog kennel so I’m usually working 2-3, 8 hour or 6 hour shifts a week. If asked about requests in advance, I may be able to request time off to accommodate client needs. I don’t have the room to board dogs or cats in my current situation, however I am very experienced with boarding tasks and basic training. I absolutely love taking walks or just doing some play sessions in the backyard and enjoy getting kitties to warm up to me. I would mainly be looking for walks/play and potty visits, or pet sitting in the owner’s home.
“Bony was amazing!! I typically take my own dog for a walk every single day, she craves it! It’s honestly been too cold so we skipped a couple of days and I found myself in a pickle. So at the VERY last minute I messaged Bony and she saved us both!!! She was amazing, accommodating and I would’ve never guessed I was her first client as I found out right before she left. She showed up on time which was a blessing as my schedule was already super tight. I’m definitely getting ahold of Bony again very soon!!!”
