“Kimmeth is the absolute best! She takes such good care of both my cat and dog! She is so reliable, I don’t ever worry that she won’t show up!!! Being a nurse, I work sometimes 14 hours, so knowing that Kimmeth will be there for my future babies really takes the stress of leaving all day away!!! I HIGHLY recommend Kimmeth!!!”
“Had a chance to meet Cherie ahead of her dog walking visit with Teddy. What a wonderful and engaging person that Teddy immediately was drawn to and gave 4 paws up!!!! He was sad when she left!!!”
“I feel very at ease having Canela in Estefania’s care. I appreciate her prompt communication, detailed updates, and willingness to go above and beyond. She has a wonderful and kind personality. I’m happy I met her and I’m grateful I have her to support me with Canela in the future.”
“Such a lovely person, I could tell by her energy and I loved that she worked with her during the walk as my pup is still learning not to be reactive on the leash! I will definitely be using her again!”
“Alyssa is amazing! She’s great with communication, set me lots of updates and pictures, and my dog absolutely loved her! Will definitely be rebooking!”
About: As an enthusiastic and dedicated dog walker, I bring joy, exercise, and companionship to your furry friends. A lifelong dog lover, I've had dogs since I was a kid and deeply understand their needs and behaviors. With a commitment to their well-being, I ensure every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to your dog's needs. Trust me to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Aldo I’m a freelance dog trainer! Pet care is a central part of my routine. Each day, I schedule specific times for walking, playing, and caring for dogs to ensure they get the exercise and attention they need. My weekly plan includes regular walking sessions and any necessary feeding tasks. Growing up with dogs, pet care is my passion. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment for pets, ensuring they have plenty of space, toys and a cozy resting area. I maintain a consistent feeding and exercise schedule and provide lots of love and attention. In clients' homes, I follow their specific instructions to maintain the pets' routines and comfort. I ensure the pets are fed, walked, and cared for according to their usual schedule, providing personalized attention to meet their unique needs.
About: Hi! I’m Kelly—kind, detail-oriented, and here to care for your pets like they’re my own. I grew up in ME, MD, and PA. I was always active in sports, was a Girl Scout, a lifeguard, a swim instructor, and a high-risk insurance broker… so being responsible, calm under pressure, empathetic, and attentive to others’ needs has always been part of who I am. I take pride in every visit— wiping paws after walks if we got into any muddy fun, refreshing water/food bowls, sending photo/video updates, noting potty areas on the map, and of course following your routine exactly. Whether I’m dog walking, nannying, or waitressing, I show up fully and with my whole heart. Knowing that everyone is taken care of and has all their needs met / exceeded is my mission and goal. I’m working toward full-time pet care and personal assisting. I’m truly honored each time I’m trusted to care for someone’s home and beloved fur baby. Thank you so much for choosing me :) I currently work several lunch shifts at a restaurant in LBTS but am expanding my pet care/personal assisting business. We can discuss your specific daily/weekly needs & if it’s the right fit, I WILL MODIFY MY SCHEDULE to prioritize you/your family. I will treat your pet and home as if they are my own. I will follow your instructions word for word to ensure the best care while you are away. And of course, provide lots of love and treats (if allowed) :)
About: Dogs are my passion! To me this isn’t a job but a hobby and a way for owners to feel at ease when having to leave their dog. I grew up with dogs and my family dogs do not live with me in my apartment so I’m always looking for dog company! From long walks to playing fetch, I will keep your dog entertained and cared for. I am trustworthy and reliable and would love to care for your dog. I typically work from home 2-3 days a week and can be flexible on which days to accommodate scheduling requests. Always available on fridays and weekends for the most part. I’m in an apartment building on the 6th floor. We have a dog park on site but I would also just walk the dog around the area. I’m very cautious with elevators and wouldn’t ride one if another dog is in it at the same time. I also like to provide pics and updates to the owner throughout the day so they feel at ease.
“Very reliable and consistent. Christina does great with our pups and they look forward to their time with her. She even walked them in the rain! Thanks so much.”
“Super helpful during my move to the area and easy to work with. Great communication, will definitely work with again.”
About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and truly treat every pet like my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their dogs and cats—even the shy or high-energy ones! I’m patient, reliable, and I always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. Whether it’s giving belly rubs, administering food on schedule, or sending you cute photo updates, I go the extra mile to make both pets and owners feel at ease. I currently work full-time on weekdays, but I have both weekend days completely free. I’m available all day Saturday and Sunday for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. I always create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment—whether in my home or yours. I follow all care instructions, keep pets secure, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free. I respect routines, provide regular potty breaks, and give constant supervision during playtime and feeding. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities.

About: Animal lover since age 5 - I’ve raised and trained a variety of different pets including dogs, cats, horses, birds, bunnies, etc. Pet owner to a 12 year old golden retriever and 4 year old rescue British Blue (cat). Familiar with administering medications and navigating any physical therapy needs. Available for simple drop ins just to give clean water, food, and change the litter.

About: As a dog owner, I realize how important it is to have the best dog care out there for your pup! I’ve had a beagle/dachshund mix for three years now and can definitely consider myself a dog person. I am always the first to offer up a walk, even a run if I can keep up! I am happy to spend quality time cuddling, walking, and playing with all types of dogs. I understand every dog has different needs, and I’m happy to cater to them. I am most available on weekends for any getaways you want to take, as well as night time, post working hours. Thank you for your consideration and I’m looking forward to keeping you and your pup happy and tails wagging!
About: I'm available for anything you need-walks, runs, dog sitting, drop ins. I accept dogs of all sizes and breeds. I can walk multiple dogs together or separate. I constantly am asked to watch/train/walk my friends and neighbors dogs! I have my own dogs as well who are extremely well trained and very friendly with other dogs/people. I will not be taking my dogs on walks with your pet. I’ve been a dog lover my whole life and can't wait to meet your dog! I’m working remotely so am always home and ready for walks and drop in visits! I know my schedule for the week so will never have to cancel last minute. I always approach new dogs slowly and gently and make sure they are comfortable with me. I am very patient and love playing with dogs. I am very good with any type of dog walking and have had experience with perfect walkers, tough pullers, and anything in between.
About: Hi there! I’m Kevin, your local dog walker based right off the beautiful New River in Fort Lauderdale. I specialize in dog walks and drop-in visits for dogs living in condos and the surrounding neighborhoods. I’ve always had dogs in my life, and caring for them has been second nature for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve walked and pet sat for the dogs of friends, neighbors, and family—treating every one like my own. I currently have a Bichon Frise named Murray, who’s not just my pet, but my daily sidekick and constant reminder of how important it is to give every dog the love and care they deserve. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog with the same care and attention they receive at home, I’d love to be their new best friend! Whether it’s a quick midday walk, a feeding visit while you’re at work, or just some love and attention while you’re away, I’m here to help. I offer flexible daytime and evening availability and am reliable, responsible and passionate about keeping your dog happy, safe, and active. When I walk or care for your dog, I give them my full attention—making sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable. I stick to their routines, offer plenty of affection, and make sure they get the exercise, play or rest they need. Whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home, your dog will be treated with kindness, patience and care. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry companion.
“Robin was the best pet sitter I could have imagined. She helped us out of bind at the last minute and was very easy to communicate with. She made us feel very comfortable pictures and text about each visit. I highly recommend her.”

Kelly M.
“First off, I would like people to know that I am Kelly’s Mother. Who better than to write a few words to let people know of Kelly’s love and devotion to all animals big and small. Kelly ‘s affection with dogs started when she was approximately two years old. We lived on an old country road in Wrentham, MA and we would take an afternoon walk most days and occasionally a neighborhood dog would accompany us. Kelly would giggle with delight. Over the years we have adopted 4 cats and 4 cockatiels. Kelly always showed responsibility by seeing to it they had fresh food and water, and plenty of hugs and attention. Recently, she requested people donate to a pig rescue farm in NC rather then buy her birthday gifts. She is very attentive to the care and well being of animals.”

Tori was amazing! So communicative and thorough! Last minute booking and we couldn’t have been more pleased and grateful! Our Dakota was so well taken care of and happy🩷🐶we will definitely book again with Tori and I suggest you do too for your fur babies! Thank you so much!
Great job, Kimmeth! Thanks so much for taking such good care of Prince and for being available on such short notice.
Morgan is absolutely wonderful, very kind and sweet with animals took her time getting my doggy used to her was always punctual very communicative and sent many photos. I trust her and appreciate her commitment and honesty. I highly recommend her for any dog or head, walking and sitting.
Christina is the very best! She was willing to introduce herself to my furbabies in a neutral location before the booking began and enthusiastically assured me that she would be a great choice! She even brought little treats that my dogs loved! Christina was on time for the scheduled walks, prompt in responding to my text messages, and always left a helpful description of her time with my two dogs. I felt at ease and comfortable being out of the state knowing that Christina would be looking after the pups!
I had a fantastic experience with Agustina! She was available on short notice and even offered a meet and greet beforehand, which gave me great peace of mind. During the visit, she took my dog Arya on her full walk (no shortcuts!), sent plenty of updates and adorable photos, and left a very detailed report afterward. It was clear Arya received so much love and attention—I felt completely worry-free. I will definitely be rebooking Agustina for future visits and recommending her to my friends. Highly recommend!
Sean’s been great with my shepherd boy! He’s great at communicating, has been flexible and accommodating with us, and really listens about care needs (our dog is a bit higher maintenance). And despite my boy’s general aloofness and disinterest in making friends, he seems to already like Sean.
needed a last minute walk, they were available. quick responses. followed instructions well. treated my dog with care. will book w them again!
Daniel was beyond great! He really made us feel at ease when leaving our dog for a few days. Daniel was in constant communication and sent over videos along with pictures to keep us updated about our dog, Leo. Definitely plan on re-booking his services again. Highly recommend!
Ava went above and beyond for Zoey. She communicated well with us and truly showed great care while helping with our pup. 100% recommend!
Alexandra is truly the best. She goes above and beyond to take care of our senior dog, and I feel confident I can always count on her to help out at any moments notice. We feel so lucky to have found Alexandra.
Paris is great with our dog, who can be a handful! She is also very flexible and responsive which is a huge relied when our plans change!
Taylor is the best! Super easy to work with and a wonderful communicator. So grateful for her love for Hunter too!
Steve has been absolutely amazing with my two dogs. One of mine takes a little more to warm up to people and Steve was very patient with her. She loves to see Steve now and is always excited to see him.
Our dog developed a great relationship with Melanie right away!! We're very satified, would hire her again
