About: I share my genuine love for long walks and outdoor adventures—because a tired dog is a happy dog! I pair that exercise with plenty of treats, endless smiles, and lots of love. Whether it’s a relaxed stroll or a playful romp, I make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and truly cared for every step of the way I have a full time remote (work from home) career with flexibility to add some walks and cuddles to my day. I am able to drop in for a walk/feeding/attention or I can accommodate extra furry friends at our home. I am a wife and mom of an active family of 5 with 3 college kids and a 5 year old golden retriever. I live in a quiet neighborhood on a lake where I spend as much time as possible outdoors.

“Rachel is wonderful!!! She walked my dog every day while I was recovering from surgery. Koda would wait by the front door for her and got super excited when he saw Rachel pull into the driveway. Would highly recommend Rachel and will absolutely use her again.”


About: I have grown up with multiple pets in the house and have been taught how to care for them. During the summer when I was on break I would stay home everyday and care for our dogs and cats making sure they were fed, had fresh water, plenty of attention and play time, and frequent bathroom/outside time. My husband and I currently have two indoor cats whom we love with our whole hearts! I am a teacher during the school year so I have summers off! I’m looking to make a little extra money while getting to spend time with other’s precious fur babies since we can’t have our own dog right now. I love dogs and cats of all sizes and would love to take care of them for you! I will make sure your pet gets the best care possible and that everything in your home is cleaned and left as I found it!

“Paige did a wonderful job with Ruby and I really liked that she took time to meet us and Ruby before the walk. I hope to hire Paige again to walk Ruby. Paige seems to really love animals and care about them. She was on time and did a little training along with the walk.”

About: I absolutely love dogs, grew up with a Shih Tzu Poodle and now my mom has a pure bred Shih Tzu that I steal from time to time (see picture). My boyfriend’s family has an English setter and a blue healer, so I love hunting/high energy dogs as well! I do work a full time sales job, but it is very flexible when I have a heads up. I’m unable to work fully from home, so dogs that are ok being alone for a few hours work out well. I live in a 2,200 sq ft town home, and a half fenced in yard. Just me and my boyfriend live here so no kids or other animals will be around. We do allow dogs on the furniture and they can sleep with us if they’d like, we like to snuggle

“She was awesome! I got picture and text updates. He had to lay low for a few days and she took the energy to keep him separated from the other dogs. She also came and picked him up when she was out and about, knowing it would make it easier for me. Chicken loved being with her and the family.”


About: I love taking walks and being active, and there's nothing better than sharing that time with a dog. Every dog is different, with its own energy level and needs, and I believe in giving each one the right kind of care. Whether your dog loves to explore, needs a gentle walk, or is full of energy and ready for an adventure, I’ll make sure they get exactly what they need.

Eric H.
“Eric is fantastic with all kinds of animals - he grew up with golden retrievers and is now the proud dad dog to his very own golden named Rusty. Eric and Rusty are best friends and can often be found on walks to the dog park or playing fetch in the backyard. He also has two tabby cats that he enjoys spending time with. Eric is responsible and reliable, you can count on him to care for your pets as he does his own. Highly recommend!”

Wendy N.
“I’m writing to recommend my cousin Wendy. She’s seriously one of the biggest animal lovers I know — she’s been around animals her whole life and lights up anytime she’s caring for them. Working with animals isn’t just something she’s interested in — it’s something she genuinely loves and has always had a natural connection to. Wendy’s super patient, hardworking, and always goes the extra mile to make sure animals feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s pets at home or helping out with friends’ animals, she’s the one everyone trusts. I know she’s really excited to find a job doing something she’s passionate about, and I’m confident she’d bring a lot of heart and dedication. I think she’d be a great fit — and any pet would be lucky to have her looking after them!”


Scarlett P.
