“Jessica was great, she contacted me about needs and expectations before scouts walk and stopped by for a meet and greet! She really cared for scout on her check in and even made sure she had plenty of water before she left! Will definitely be using Jessica again.”


2. Katherine C.

About: For as long as I can remember, I have had dogs and cats around me, most of them pets. But I cared and loved for each and every one of them. My biggest heartbreak was when my dog-soulmate passed. He was my best friend, and I needed to fill the hole. So I started dog walking, something that I have been doing for almost a year and a half now. It has been one of the best things I've ever done(: I get to care for and play with all sorts of puppies, while also getting to relax and enjoy my own time as well (because caring for dogs is more fun than work). And I love the feeling of excitement I receive from dogs when they see me (: I am a part-time student and a stay at home mom, so I am home quite a bit to be able to care for animals. In my home, we just treat your fur babies like one of our own. We give them lots of attention, play time, walk time, etc. I also incorporate your schedules with ours (ie feeding, etc). If there are any special requests, I fulfill those needs. When I go to a clients home, I respect everything around me and be as gentle and careful as to make sure that the fur babies are comfortable with me in their home.

“Benjamin was an awesome walker!! He was so accomodating to our chaotic situation (we're injured/sick at the moment) and handled our two girls who both have their quirks very well. Total lifesaver. Highly recommended.”


5. Greg F.

“The best of the best dog walkers we have ever known. Greg is always professional and courteous. He loves dogs and knows how to care and handle them.”

About: We sit pets only if we can provide great care - your pet(s) will be our only guests with our cat, dog, and kids. I work from home and have a large fenced yard. Your dog will be comfy and have lots of attention, fun, and relaxation. We like to go for walks and play in the yard. About me: I grew up on a goat farm and have had a dog, cat, rat, ferret, or fish ever since. My soul dog passed a couple years ago from kidney disease which we were treating with diet, meds, and sub q fluids - so I have experience caring for senior pups. We currently have Hazel, who we’ve had since she was a baby so we have experience with young dogs too. Drop off and pick up available for $20 (or $10 one way). I can bathe your dog, but cost depends on size. I am not a full groomer so it would be limited to bath, blow dry, and brush. I work from home M-F. Happy to welcome your dog to come stay with us! We’ll take play breaks and have mini positive training sessions. We may even go on neighborhood walks. I’ll keep an eye on your pup while they play in our secure back yard, ensure they only have access to what food they are allowed, and administer any meds your pup needs. I will only take one dog at a time to ensure your pet is safe and gets lots of attention.

“Kristle did an awesome job checking on and walking both my dogs together. Both of them are strong and my younger dog can be a challenge. She communicates well and sent me pictures. She went above and beyond what I asked. I will certainly be asking her to walk my dogs in the future! ”


8. Danielle S.
“My husband and I went to Hawaii last year and a friend recommended Danielle to sit with our 3 dogs & 5 parrots. She did a great job!! I have found it really hard to find people who are good with parrots, especially as spoiled as my birds are😊. I highly recommend her. 🐶🐶🐶🦜🦜🦜🦜🦜”

10. Brigid D.

“Brigid was extremely helpful in managing my dogs overall happiness. With my busy schedule Brigid made it possible for my dog to get good exercise while I was away. She is extremely loving and truly cares about animals. Highly recommend using her services”


11. Alexandra A.
“Alexandra has always been a loving and caring "pet mom" to her furry pets, cats and dogs alike. She is not a push-over. She expects her charges to return her affection with affection and obedience to her. I have trusted her with my pets for long periods of time while I was on vacation to return finding them better behaved and still loving. I don't hesitate to recommend her as a superb pet caregiver.”




12. Joel M.


“Joel has been excellent! He is reliable and great with Anubis! We greatly appreciate your help with getting Anubis the exercise he needs and deserves!”


13. Lanis Y.
“Lanis was a wonderful house and pet sitter for my 10 day trip. She took wonderful care of my dog and cat, who really enjoyed spending time with her (I could tell when she sent me pictures during my trip.) When I came home, the house was very clean and the animals were well cared for. I would have Lanis stay at my house any time!”


14. Mercedes V.

“Mercedes was amazing with my new shelter puppy. I hired her to walk her for a week during the lunch hour. By the end of the week my puppy was sitting and going into her crate on her own. Mercedes went above and beyond in taking the time to work with her and not just walk her. And my dog loved her too! I will definitely hire Mercedes again.”


15. Kaylin W.
“Kaylin was wonderful with Pomo. She gave him a great walk/run which is so helpful with a Corgi who has a lot of energy! I’ll definitely ask for Kaylin again. So appreciated. Kaylin is delightful!”


16. Rachel W.
“Rachel was so kind, professional, and caring! Our senior golden retriever took to her immediately and I’m so glad I chose her as our dog walker. I will definitely be using Rachel again and would highly recommend her!!”


17. Rene L.
“We always take our dog to Rene to take care of because she gives her the best care. She is reliable and we know that our dog is safe and well cared for while she's with Rene. I would recommend Rene 1000% for petsitting. She loves dogs!”

I miss him so much, he was well behave and well train, I got compliments all the time on how well he was taken care of, and how friendly he was with people as well as being around other dogs. He was groomed monthly, and always had all his required shots. I love dogs big and little, and all types of dogs. I'm 52 years old, with grown children, and love to walk.
