“It was a pleasure to have Mitzi pet sit at our house. It is obvious that she loves animals and they were very comfortable around her. Mitzi kept us updated with text and pictures all weekend. We would definitely ask her again in the future and trust her with our furry family!”

“Joanna is the best! She stayed with our dog for just under a week in our home and took the best care of her. Our pup has pretty severe separation anxiety and requires medication and Joanna made sure she was comfortable and cared for. Sent lots of pictures and daily updates. When we got home, our house was spotless and just as we left it. We will definitely be using her services again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all different breeds and ages for several years. Most recently, I provided long term care for an elderly dog with high anxiety. She required extra patience and special care— two things that I would be able to provide your animal as well! I am available before or after work on weekdays for drop-in visits or walks. I am available full-time on weekends for the same two services. I offer updates to pet owners after every drop-in visit or walk. I prioritize safety and wellness with constant supervision and being mindful of my surroundings.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover offering dog walking services for your furry family members. I’m a mom of four, with two dogs of my own—a German Shepherd and a Pomeranian—and two cats, so I’m very comfortable caring for animals of all sizes and personalities. We recently moved from California. I spent my time hiking twice a week with my dogs, alongside my cousin and her Doberman and cattle dog. Staying active and being outdoors is a big part of my life, and I love bringing dogs along! I treat my pets like family so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, exercise, or just some companionship during the day, I’m here to help. My husband and I are currently in the process of buying a home, and I’m looking to earn a little extra income while doing something I love. If you’re looking for someone dependable, experienced, and truly passionate about animals, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I am currently a stay at home mom. I will be available during the summer and our youngest will be starting kindergarten so my schedule is open to you and your pets needs for long term! I can come to your home, help administer medications, play with your pets and take them for walks. Available for occasional overnight stays if needed.
“Jonah did a great job taking care of my 3 dogs on short notice. He spent the day with them and did such a good job with them. He kept me updated on how the day went and let me know how they were doing. I highly recommend him for any of your pet care needs.”


About: I offer dog walking services and dog sitting services 7 days a week. I am open to all times but have more availability in the afternoon and evening. I have taken care of dogs for family and friends since I was a teenager and have taken care of up to 5 dogs in a single household at one time. While I’m not a licensed as a trained I have taught family and friends dogs potty training, leash etiquette and few other skills. I currently work full time, but I don’t have a set work schedule. I can make arrangements throughout the day with advance notice. Also am available all day on the weekends. I currently live in an apartment so I can not currently bring pets to my home. I do have a toy poodle named Bentley who enjoys our walks, playtime and especially treats. I like to be outside with the pets, I enjoy taking them to dog parks, playing fetch and letting them run around. I feel that a dog needs time to exercise everyday and I believe they should socialize with people and other dogs.
“Sandra exceeded our expectations by a mile! We have two 6 month old Golden Retriever puppies who are a lot of work and Sandra handled their care with ease! We received morning and evening updates with plenty of pictures to relieve our anxiety from leaving them. One of our puppies needed two daily medications and Sandra was very prompt with their med schedule. She provided daily walks and was always there to let them outside to run around and play and give them plenty of love. When we returned from our trip we had daily notes on what the boys were up to, any new behaviors or just new funny quirks they developed. We also were able to see the spreadsheets she brought verifying the walks and meals they were given. Our house was left very clean and tidy and so were the puppies! It’s not even a question, we will most definitely be using Sandra in the future!!”

“Donai did an amazing job caring for my babies! I have an eclectic mix of animals - a dog, a cat, and a bearded dragon. She came to meet everyone and really get to know them and their routines before her stay, and then provided updates throughout the weekend. I definitely recommend using Donai!”

“Bayley took great care of our big boy goldendoodle! She provided frequent updates while we were away and was extremely responsive. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”


“Tabitha was great with my two big puppies. They got lots of exercise and TLC, and she sent me lots of photos, which I absolutely love to get. The house was spotless when we got home — just really above-and-beyond service.”

“Stephanie was great with Tucker! They made fast friends! She was very professional about entering our home when we weren’t there. She sent frequent updates and great pics of our smiling pup! We will definitely contact Stephanie again!”

“Jocelyn was wonderful with my two dogs and two cats! She was very accommodating to their needs and flexible with scheduling. She offered to stay when my trip got extended and communicated throughout! Also, the house looked great when I returned :). She will be my first pick!”

I have volunteered at animal shelters in the past as well as sitting for Rover for 4 years now. I also love long walks so the more walks I can take your pup on the better! My complex also has a ton of green space and walking paths that your pup can enjoy. I will always treat your babies as if they were mine. As a dog owner myself, your pup will get the same devotion and attention that I give to my own girl. I can adapt to your dogs routine!
