“Ernst is super friendly, responsive and knowledgeable. We have 70 lbs adolescent pup who has a lot of energy to give. Ernst is great at keeping our pup in line. I already notice an improvement in our pet’s loose leash walking!”
About: I have 2 large rescues that have been a part of my family for the last 9 years. When I lived in apartments, I helped watch other neighbors' dogs and always enjoyed getting to know them and learn about their routines, hobbies, and quirks. While my family never had a dog growing up, I love being around them now and could never go back to a life without them! Since I work part time at a local farm, and am only just getting my own farm up and running, I have a relatively flexible schedule from week to week, especially during the winter, early spring, and late fall. I am thorough when it comes to taking care of my dogs' health and safety, as well as the health and safety of all pets that are in my care. I am always vigilant about traffic while walking dogs near any roads, and am always careful of walking them near other animals. When in another's home I am respectful of boundaries and rules and always clean up after myself or any messes that a pet may make.
“Jamie is awesome! She went above and beyond our expectations while taking care of our boys!! She is very professional and took the time to meet the boys before our scheduled dates with her. We got great pictures from her!! We will definitely be using her again”
“Lindsay is amazing!! She was able to come over and take my golden retriever for a walk and to the dog park. She also has a dog who was able to join in on the fun, which is always great for my dog who loves to play! She’s super kind and easy to work with. I definitely recommend her, and will be booking her again in the future!”
“Sara did a great job with our dogs! She was prompt with her messages, friendly, and walked the dogs as requested. When there was an issue she was quick to inform us of the situation. The dogs liked her and we would definitely use her services again.”
About: I love dogs and puppies and when I bought my home I was looking for a huge yard that was fenced in for dogs to play in. It also came with a dog door and ramp! Very dog friendly! My foster dogs and sitting made me become more aware of dog and puppy needs from playing, walking and cuddling! I also love to be outside so if your pup likes to explore I would love to take them on a hike or downtown! I currently have a flexible schedule and can work from home if preferred. Or I can play with them feed them, crate them and be home early to play more- Your pup would be my priority! I have a fenced in yard and puppy door so if your dog is independent and wants more time outside they can safely do so. If not I can play in the yard or walk them in the neighborhood, park or downtown.
“Shelly is AMAZING!! So attentive, great communication, thorough follow through, and just all around wonderful! We completely recommend Shelly for anyone wanting help with their fur babies! So comforting to be reassured there are still great people in the world, and Shelly truly is one of the great ones!”
About: I am currently working from home with my with my 10 year old puppy. My husband works out of the house, and my kids go to school during the day. I love going on long walks and playing catch in the yard. When your dog stays with me, they will have they certainly won’t feel alone! If you’d like your dog to have more interactions with other dogs, I would be happy to bring our dog, Bailey, on our visits to your home (or I can leave her home). I am looking forward to getting to know your pet and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or concerns. I work from home on Tuesdays & Fridays, which allows me time to care for animals during that window, or on the weekends as well! I have a fenced in yard that would keep you pup safe for potty breaks. We have a 10 year old dog who loves to cuddle up on the couch and play tug of war too!
“Logan is dependable, trustworthy, and knowledgeable about dogs! My dogs are pretty crazy and Logan handles both of them wonderfully…I can notice they listen to me better since Logan has been caring for them. His wife is just as awesome and sometimes covers or comes with.”
“We love Tina and our dog Stevie loves her even more! We use her often for check-ins and walks. She goes above and beyond with communication and photos. Appreciate having her in our life to love on our dog.”

I care for dogs. I have a dog name Louie. We’re always outside I have a big fenced in yard . I have a dog so my house is dog proof. I have a one story house on a quiet street.
About: I have lived with large dogs my entire life and own 2 cats of my own, one of which I take for walks outside on a leash every day. I am responsible, communicative, and compassionate. Pet happiness is very important to me! I am currently unemployed so my time is very flexible, both during the week and weekends. I am usually unavailable Friday afternoons but that can be flexible as well I love caring for animals in the way that clearly makes them feel safe and happy whether it is the smallest, weirdest, or most random things. I am happy to tailor the experience to each individual pet and their owner, and take safety and communication very seriously as that is what I would want for my cats
“Ashley was a great last minute walker and very patient with all my novice Rover questions. She provided lots of pictures during the 30min walk and had no time accessing my quirky building with ease.”

Lindsay is amazing!! She was able to come over and take my golden retriever for a walk and to the dog park. She also has a dog who was able to join in on the fun, which is always great for my dog who loves to play! She’s super kind and easy to work with. I definitely recommend her, and will be booking her again in the future!
Jimmy is a great match for our dog Tala! He sees her twice a week and provides her walks, playtime in the yard, and brings his dog so she has a doggy companion to play with. He has been patient and helpful working with Tala despite her having little training as a new rescue dog. We hope to have him as our regular walker for a long time!
Laura came and met us before starting walks with my dog, Ruby. She was great with Ruby and very attentive to her. The first time Laura came to walk Ruby, Ruby was shy and uncertain. Laura was patient and slowly allowed my pup to warm up to her so they could play in the yard. I highly recommend Laura, she clearly loves animals and does a great job recognizing what they need and goes at their pace.
