About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was old enough for my parents and neighbors to trust me! Grew up with multiple of my both in the house and naturally my first job was dog walking and house sitting around the neighborhood. Have experience working with older pets, puppies / kittens, and large breeds. Currently, live in the Corktown neighborhood with my Australian Shepherd Mel. If you see us out on a walk, say hello! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible to accommodate your ideal walking and / or care schedule. My Australian Shepard Mel and I walk around Corktown daily and am always up for spending more time outside! For Dog Walking: I follow your lead on your dog's tendencies / preferences. I adhere to your preferred routes and instructions regarding leash etiquette, avoiding off-leash situations unless explicitly discussed and approved. If your dog enjoys canine company, I'm happy to bring my Aussie Mel along, who loves walking with friends! If your dog likes playing ball / frisbee, happy to discuss how we can accommodate that as well. For In-Home Pet Check-ins: I pay close attention to your pet's behavior and appetite, reporting any concerns to you immediately. I ensure fresh water is always available and clean up any messes promptly. I prioritize respecting your space, leaving it just as I found it.

Don’t know what we would do without Erin - her service and attention-to-detail are world class. After every walk, Erin provides us with a nicely detailed recap of the walk. It’s nice to hear and it is great to have someone like Erin on the home team.

I have had Keanna taking my two large black lab mix dogs for walks several days a week (or drop-ins if necessary during rainy days) while I'm working for a couple months now and she's amazing! The dogs love her! She can take both of them at the same time without a problem and they are much more disciplined now on walks in general because of her guidance. She is very reliable and very flexible and also will be house sitting/dog sitting for me the next couple of times I go out of town. Highly recommend! 🥰🐕‍🦺🐾🐾🐕‍🦺🥰

About: My name is Kate and my love for animals is what prompted me to enter the world of pet care. I grew up in a home with dogs and guniea pigs and learned early on how to be responsible in caring for a pet. The Humane Society was close to my childhood home, I would walk there weekly to go in and visit all the different animals and dreamed of owning a bunch one day myself. Later on in my twenties I learned what it was like to have a cat and now am a self proclaimed, obsessed with all the things cat. Currently I have two cats, a spunky Bengal named Benny and a sophisticated tuxedo baby named Olive. My hobbies include weightlifting, walking, yoga, ceramics, listening to podcasts, reading, baking and traveling. I currently work full time Mon-Thurs, 4 days a week which allows me to have, Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning or afternoons available for drop-in visits or walking your pet. I currently am not able to board any other animals in my home as I have two cats that prefer to be the only pets.

About: Hi! My name is Yvonne, and I would love to care for your dog/cat. I will always do anything possible to make them feel 100% comfortable and happy. I have 10 years experience caring for children ages 0-6 and would love to extend that care to your fur babies. When you book my services, I would love to know their favorite toy, food, treat, place to sleep, and/or if they have a favorite place to get scratches/rubs! Your pet's comfort and trust is my priority, along with your trust and respect. If there is ever any issues or questions, please don't hesitate and let me know. I'm always happy to help! I currently have a part time job working late nights, so I am available to do drop-ins or walks on most afternoons during the week. I like to make my client's furbabies feel comfortable while they are in my care. I make sure to give them all the attention they need.

Jordan was wonderful with our 3 month old puppy! He responded within minutes, was very professional and came to meet our pup the day after we contacted him. Our pup took to him immediately, and Jordan came and walked him several days a week for three weeks. Each time, he was prompt, sent us pictures and a run down of how each walk went. Jordan was also very flexible with a few of our unexpected schedule changes. He is truly an ideal person to trust in caring for your dog, and we will absolutely be requesting his services again!
