“Lindsey was the best dog-walker we could ask for... We have a spirited labrador retriever, and she handled him beautifully, safely and timely. I always received pictures, video and a status report with every walk. I would recommend Lindsey to anyone seeking a reliable dog walker.”
“Maria was great! She came everyday as scheduled and did great with our funny dogs. She was very reliable and I would definitely recommend her. Thank you again, Maria for caring for our fur babies!”
“Hound has been great with our dogs and they seem relaxed and happy when we get home. Manages the needs of our very old husky and young border collie mix very well so they both get the attention and exercise they need.”
About: I was raised in a home that had both dogs and cats. I'm the proud dad of a 16 year-old cat. I also have years of experience as a pet sitter for both dogs and cats. I'm on fixed income, so my schedule is very flexible. It's important to me that I have plenty of time to build trust with new furry clients. I strive to create an environment where your animal will feel cherished and comfortable in your absence. I believe that quality 1-on-1 time is critical to keeping your pets stress-free.
“I shouldn’t leave a review because I don’t want to let the secret out! We’d Denielle give Denielle 100 stars if we could! She is professional, communicative, and our pup loves her so much! You won’t be disappointed!”
“Delany was so great with my dog, Whisky. My husband and I needed a dog walker for a week while I was out of town and he was working. She was always on time, sent lots of pictures, quick to respond, and Whisky enjoyed his daily walks. We will be calling Delany again next time we need any dog walking!”
“Abbey was fantastic. We needed a last minute dog walker for a trip we took and she was ready and willing. Our dog, George, did great with her and I loved knowing he was in good hands. Thanks Abbey!”
About: My entire childhood my aunt who lived with us, bred toy poodles. So, caring for puppies to dogs is my specialty. From feeding to walks, snuggles and play, I do it all with love and care. Since having children, we have discussed fostering dogs and we found this would be the best way to love on some dogs and make an income as a stay-at-home mom of two. I am a stay-at-home mom, so we are available mostly all the time other than drop off and Pickup from school, and can move commitments around fairly easily. I have a fenced in yard, and two young children to run around and play with your fur baby, walk with them and help feed them. We live in a quiet neighborhood with a lot of running space along walking paths.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and my very own pup for 3 years now! Being a crazy dog mom I know how important not only walks, but snuggles and photos for mom/dad are! I have a rotating nursing schedule, so my availability shifts but I work 8 hour shifts so could be available at some point any day. I would love to care for your dog however you prefer! My home has another dog that loves to play with other dogs and access to a fenced in park.
About: I’ve had pets since I was young! I currently have my own dog who I raised alone, she is perfect and loves other dogs/cats :) I have multiple days off- so able to be flexible and in the home most of the time with your pet! They would never go more than 4 hours without going potty :) We live in an apartment- so your pet will only be walked or they will play in our fenced in dog park area. They will never be unattended :)
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 10 years. I often dog sit for my parents and friends. I am very adaptable to the needs of any animal! I currently work full time day shift and always have weekends off. On the weekends, we like to take walks to the park to play or just stay home and cuddle up on the couch and watch movies. I have a fenced in backyard. I work 10 minutes from home so I am free to stop in and let dogs out throughout the day.
About: I have 8 years of personal experience taking care of dogs, cats, and our shelled and scaly friends! I am the proud owner of 12 beautiful animals, all of which are spoiled and oh-so loved. I have experience with rescued animals that require extra care, and am comfortable and confident doing what's necessary for our beloved pets to be their best. I work a split shift at an elementary school (6:30-930am, and 3:30-6pm) which gives me plenty of free time. Aside from that, I work a very flexible at-home schedule for my other job, which allows me to adjust my hours as needed to give the best care to your pets! NOTE: I work FULL-TIME during the months of June, July, and August. I will only be able to accept pets who can be left for 8 hour shifts. I believe that every pet (and every pet owner) has different needs, and I am willing to accomodate for that. I prioritize health and happiness of your pet!
“Andrea is great! She was the 5th person I contacted in a day to walk my dog Morgan and she answered very quickly! She was on time, did the rover card, and took lots of pictures. I would use her again if we're in the area!”

Your dog will be in great hands.”
