“Erin is so good with our Goldendoodle Toby. He’s very energetic, and Erin takes the walks in stride, letting Toby get all that energy out. Would highly recommend Erin for your dog walking needs!”

“Tyler was wonderful!! My dog is afraid of everyone but he took quickly to Tyler, even layed down by his feet! That’s a biggie for my dog. Tyler is very personable, respectful and trustworthy and I will not hesitate to use him again.”

“She did such a great job with my boys! One is elderly, while the other is scared of everything. She was very patient with them. Both of the boys came back much more relaxed ☺️”

“Frankie (9 month Pitbull) has recently started going on weekly walks with Kristina and he is a big fan! I love watching how excited he gets to see her. She is very trustworthy, sweet, attentive, and so much fun. Frankie is a big ball of energy and a mischief maker but Kristina does so well with him. Frankie and I highly recommend her :)”

“Angie is amazing with my dog!!! Our dog is super finicky on who she lets put a leash on her, and Angie kept at it little by little, until our dog was her best buddy! Now our dog gets excited when we mention Angie’s name. She is the best!!!”

“Shelby was fantastic. She walked my dog four days in a row while I was working. My dog liked her from the moment they met and she did a great job! I will be asking her to walk my dog again soon.”


About: I have cared for pets my entire life, from watching extended family’s dogs and cats to owning and loving my own. I understand that pets are family, and I promise to treat yours with the same care and attention that I would my own. Whether it’s playing, cuddles, or ensuring their routine stays on track, I am committed to proving excellent care and an stress-free experience for both you and your pet! I am currently working full time. However, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate my full attention and time to pet care when needed. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays, I can easily incorporate pet sitting into my daily routine! I promise to plan my day around their needs ensuring they receive the most adequate attention and care. I am available on weekends, and weekdays for sure after 5pm, but I can adjust that schedule if need be. I prioritize safety, trust, and an stress-free environment when caring for my pets, whether in my own home or a client’s home. I follow any specific instructions that are given regarding feeding, walking, medications, and routines to ensure consistency and comfort. In a client’s home, I respect their space while keeping the pet’s environment secure. I also keep pet parents updated with regular check-ins and photos of their furry friends. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away.
“Emily was so wonderful! She was extremely responsive when I contacted her and came over immediately to meet our precious Ezra! She arrived promptly and sent me reports and pictures of her visit. I would highly recommend Emily! I will be using her again for sure!!! Thank you Emily, you made my time away stress free!!”

“I can't recommend Ashley enough as a dog walker! She has been walking my golden retriever, Molly, regularly for a couple of months now, and I couldn't be happier with her services. Ashley is incredibly reliable and always shows up on time, which gives me peace of mind during my busy days. Not only is she friendly and approachable, but her genuine love for dogs truly shines through in her interactions with Molly. It’s clear that she goes above and beyond to make sure Molly is happy and well-cared for during their walks. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy and has a real passion for dogs, look no further than Ashley! She’s fantastic, and I’m so grateful to have her!”


About: I currently own an pit lab mix and her name is Stella and I have had her for a few years. She is the best especially around people and I love taking her to new places. I love being around dogs, any breed or size . I Love taking walks and enjoying the outdoors. I like to explore new areas and it’s always nice to have a friend while doing it. If you have a high energy dog I would love to play with them, but also dogs that just like to chill and cuddle I enjoy as well. I can walk your dog on weekends and during the evening during the week, mid day as well. I would love to become a dog walker or sitter to get to know more about other breeds and to get to know my area I do have another full time job, but I am willing to accommodate to your pets needs. We can discuss this further when booking. I am able to have decently flexible schedule. I will listen to the needs of the client. I will make sure that their pet is well loved and cared for while I am watching them.

“Diana was great! Our dog is sweet, but not the easiest to walk. She didn’t really mind his quirks and seemed very comfortable with him-70 pounds. Would definitely ask her again! Her communication was timely and she came over for a meet and greet before her first walk. Thank you!”

About: I’m a ceramic artist, art teacher, and passionate animal lover. I have two wonderful dogs, Chispa and Puggy, who love meeting new furry friends. With years of experience caring for my own pets, I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pets are in good hands. Whether it’s a walk, a playdate, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll treat your pets like part of the family! Pets always come first in my home. I love taking my dogs on hikes, walks, and puppy playdates. I live in a dog-friendly complex with a park and have a small, private fenced yard and terrace—perfect for sunbathing pups! If your dog needs a bath, I’m happy to give them a scrub in the tub. I’m also known for making homemade dog treats. Let me spoil your dog with lots of love and care! I work from home full-time, so your dog will receive constant attention and care throughout their stay. We only board small to medium-sized dogs (under 40 pounds), but I’m happy to discuss any special exceptions. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities!
About: I have had multiple dogs growing up and have raised puppies! Dogs have a very special place in my heart, I want all puppies to have the best treats and the most playtime! I am an independent nail technician, so I have a flexible schedule! Mornings and afternoons I am home to care for pets! I am available weekends and weekdays for stop ins and overnight visits. I hold client’s homes with the upmost respect.. Cleaning and leaving the home better after I leave. I greatly care about the environment of each pet and will always protect the home as it were mine.
About: The number one thing in life that brings me joy is caring for animals. I currently work as a nurse and I’m working on completing my masters. I’ve cared for animals of all shapes and sizes, and used to rescue senior dogs. I am happy to care for either cats or dogs (or both!). I currently have 2 Newfies that help keep me on my toes, and I’ve had many cats throughout my life (most recently a Maine Coon that passed at age 20).I’m happy to assist with walks, play time, boarding, etc., please reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I am working part time on Saturdays and Sundays, so I am free during the week for pet care services. I can do up to 3 drop in visits per day depending on distance. Dogs are like toddlers, so you always have to be watching (especially the puppies), so I am very attentive to their needs and wants. I love taking them outside and playing or going for walks. I match your pets energy level, so if they can go for a long walk, we go for long walks and vice versa with shorter walks for older dogs.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 15. I also did schooling for animals like knowing how to care for them and also worked at Vet hospitals I am a certified vet technician so I’m very experienced! As of right now I am trying to start a business with pet care services So this job will fit in perfectly with my schedule! I have studied animal behavior so I know how to read the signs of a scared animal or a suspicious animal. I would make them feel comfortable around me and play with them, pet them, and just treat them like my own fur baby.

We cannot recommend Erin enough! She made time for us last-minute and with an incredibly busy schedule, was very patient and personable, and was very attentive and sweet to our dog, Ember. She communicated well, was super flexible with our calendar, and we absolutely loved her. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!!

Alana was amazing! She was very easy to work with and flexible with our schedules. Our dog Ember completely loved her and Alana did a wonderful job taking care of all her needs and communicating with us to ensure she had the best care. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!
