Nicole was great with our dog, Odey, on his first walk! She was patient, communicative, and shared lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. Especially helpful given his separation anxiety. Looking forward to continuing to work with her!

Thanks to Ashley and Mauricio's amazing dog walking services, Spence had a great July 4th weekend! We were a little worried about leaving Spence alone during the holiday chaos, but Ashley and Mauricio completely put our minds at ease. From the initial meet and greet, we realized that Spence was very comfortable with them, so we knew that we didn't have anything to worry about. Ashley and Mauricio are very reliable and trustworthy and great with communicating and keep us updated as to how things are progressing. We received adorable pictures and updates after every walk, letting us know how much fun Spence was having. It was such a relief to see Spence enjoying the holiday weekend just as much as we were. If you're looking for a dog walker who goes above and beyond, look no further than Ashley and Mauricio! We can't thank them enough for making sure Spence had a fantastic July 4th weekend. We highly recommend Ashley and Mauricio to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and fun dog walker!

Holly is a dependable, trustworthy and loving person. I highly recommend her. I know my dog is in great hands when she’s in charge of taking care of him. She’s been working with me for almost a year now and she’s absolutely wonderful. If you need someone that you can trust and depend on to take care of your pet as well as you do, you need to hire Holly.

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs, especially caring for my family's own for 6 years, and pet sitting for the past few years as well. I am super active and love to take dogs on runs, walks, and trips to parks to roam around and play. Dogsitting is a win-win for both me and the dog! I just graduated from Clemson University and am staying with my family this summer to save for law school, as I start in the fall. I am a hard worker and have a love for physical fitness. I am extremely active and go on walks, runs, and hikes by myself all the time. I would love some company via your pets! I keep all of the attention on the pet, and I love it as if it was my own. I like to be active and go to parks often, which is perfect for pets. I plan to make each pet the priority, as they all deserve!

About: I have always been an avid animal lover, especially a dog lover, and I have always owned dogs. I started dogsitting after I graduated from college to make some money, and I immediately fell in love with it. Being able to provide a loving environment while you're away is very important for the animals, and I strive to be the best at it. My skills include dog sitting, walking, playing, and cuddling. I will also take great care of your home and treat it with respect. I also think it is important to keep the client informed of what is going on so I do like to check in. I have experience in both dogsitting and house sitting and this would let me showcase that. I currently own a Cat and turtle and feed them daily. I also clean the litter box every two days. I also help clean the turtle tank. I would follow the walking schedule for each dog and also adhere to the feeding guidelines. For a cat I would also follow the feeding guidelines and cleaning.

About: Since I was ~12, my neighbors would always bring their dogs for me to watch/walk while they were on vacation. More recently, I have also walked friends and neighbors dogs while they are at work (I work remote). I work remote in a flexible job, so I’m able to give lots of attention to your dog. I can walk them 4+ times per day depending on your needs, I live right near grass if they only want to go out to pee, and I am a 1 min walk from a small dog park if they love to run off leash. I live in an apartment with my own dog, so I always make sure everything is pet friendly - no harmful cleaning chemicals, air filters, only dog treats. I even have a reverse osmosis water filter to give your doggo luxury water :)

About: I’ve had animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I’ve trained multiple puppies, cared for senior dogs, and have years of experience looking after cats. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always make sure each pet feels safe and loved. I currently work from home, so I have a flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. At the moment, I’m not able to offer boarding, as my own pets may not adjust well to new animals in the home. My approach is calm and understanding. I like to respect each pet’s unique personality and habits. I don’t believe in being overly strict, but I always make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own best friend. Your animal will always have my full attention, whether we’re walking, playing, bathing, or practicing new tricks. I care for pets with genuine kindness, patience, and love, exactly the way I’d want someone to care for my own dogs. I have all the time in the world to care for your babies! Pets are one of the greatest joys of life, and I would love to spend my time with yours! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow every owner’s instructions exactly as given, because I know consistency helps pets feel secure. I’m very good at reading animal behavior and emotions, so I can usually tell what they want or need. On walks, I’m attentive, calm, and always aware of my surroundings to keep your pet safe. When I’m in your home, I’m respectful of your space and your routines, and I keep everything clean and comfortable. And if I’m ever unsure about something, I never guess, I double-check your notes, ask questions, or look for reliable guidance to make sure your pet gets the very best care.

About: I’ve had my own dogs since I was 11 and have cared for family and friends’ pets. I’m experienced, responsible, and comfortable handling both energetic dogs and busy situations, including caring for a large dog while babysitting a young child. I work part-time and am usually available in the mornings and late afternoons on weekdays. My weekend schedule can vary, but I am flexible when needed. I respond quickly and try to communicate clearly to make scheduling easy. I have a dog and prioritize safe, supervised care. I usually take dogs to my backyard or a nearby park for walks and play in a secure environment.

Ally is a natural with dogs. She came to the meet and greet my Ollie immediately came over and sat next to her. He’s normally slower to greet people, but I’m sure he could sense that Ally is a genuine “dog person”. We’ll be seeing a lot more of eachother!

Teresa was amazing with my 1 year old puppy! She had great communication from the start and made sure to ask thoughtful, thorough questions- even checking in about where I was comfortable having my dog walked. I really appreciated the detailed update and adorable photos she sent. It’s always nerve wracking having someone new watch your fur baby, but I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in her care. I’ll definitely be booking with Teresa again!
