8. Taylor M.
“If you are looking for someone who will genuinely care for your pets, you should consider Taylor. Not only is she reliable, she is emotionally invested in making sure the animals in her care are comfortable and happy. She recognizes that it is hard for us to leave our four legged family members in someone else's care and is great about sending updates and pictures. All of our animals love her... from our cats and dogs to our goats and donkeys. I will definitely use her again!”
9. Jason M.
“I strongly recommend Jason! He is always able to make time to walk my pup last minute, and sends detailed notes and lots of pictures at the end of the walk. It is clear he really cares about the animals and respects the owners space!!”
10. Dawn L.
“Dawn is the best, we feel so lucky to have found her! We get the cutest pictures and detailed updates every day. It is clear to us that she genuinely enjoys spending time with our dog. He is a hound so it is important to us that Dawn lets his nose lead the way to explore. Wholeheartedly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a caring, flexible and personable sitter/walker.”
11. Betsy H.
“Betsy is a true professional, while still being very approachable, for both dogs, and their owners! If your dog stays at her home (as mine did), it's a very calm and quiet place with plenty of woods and trails, leading to lots of walks and tail-wags. Betsy cares deeply for the dogs in her care, and is fully trustworthy!”
12. Shauni & Connor M.
About: I started out fostering dogs of all ages and medical issues for a few years before adopting our own 2 dogs. I’m comfortable with any sized dog. We have a large fenced in back yard. One of our dogs is older, so I am familiar with senior dog care. I am comfortable giving any sorts of medications needed for any age. We did go through dog training with our 2 dogs when they were younger, so can continue working on basic dog training skills with your dog if that is something you are working on. I also have experience with dogs with tick-borne diseases as one of ours has had a couple bouts of it. We walk our dogs on a 1.5 mile walk almost every day and give them lots of time in the fenced in backyard! We can adapt to whatever your typical dog walking/outside time schedule is. We like to spend a lot of time outside and on trails, so if your dog is one who likes trail walks, we are the right fit for you! I stay home with our 2 year old and my husband works from home so someone is pretty much always home. We have a large fenced in backyard. We have 3 levels and keep your dog(s) and our dogs separated as needed. We do have a toddler who loves dogs but also respects their boundaries. If I’m at your house I will follow whatever routine you do for your dogs!

“My husband and I have been using Ryan for years to care for our furr babies (3 cats) when we go on vacation! He is Wonderful with all animals and very caring! You can rest assured that your babies are well cared for and in good hands with Ryan!”
15. Emma P.
“Emma is a phenomenal caregiver, when I’ve had her watch my babies she goes out of her way to keep both them and I comfortable with updates throughout the duration of the stay. She really goes above and beyond. I wouldn’t trust anyone more with my fur babies!! I couldn’t recommend her enough.”
16. Desirae B.
“Desirae is a Reliable and Compassionate Pet Lover! Your Dog will be in Great hands and get lots of attention while in her care! I highly recommend her!”
17. Rebecca F.
“Rebecca is absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend her enough. She treats my dogs as her own with so much love and respect. She is the only walker i want forever! Above and beyond doesnt even begin to cut it. Fabulous person who clearly genuinely cares.”
18. Shauna D.
“Shauna has been walking our terrier 1-2 times per week for about six months now and we couldn't be happier. She always takes pictures and sends them right away along with an update on how he's doing. He always looks so happy in her photos, it's clear she not only takes good care of him but also that he has bonded with and trusts her. I'm so happy that he can have that connection and added attention while we are at work. If you're looking for an awesome dog walker, Shauna is it!”
19. Camryn C.
“Camryn has been my roommate for the past 3 years and one thing about her that stands out to me is her love for dogs. She has two rescues at home whom she loves very much. She even is the primary caregiver of her new rescue Parker when she is home from school. Camryn is kind and compassionate and truly loves animals so much. I cannot think of a better person to give attention and love to your dog when you are away.”

“He been doing pet service for me for about 8 years he is very good with my pets.They are comfortable with him.they are so happy when they go for a walk”
