About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I can remember. From house sitting, to walking them, to even taking care of my own dog. I’ve worked with different breeds and ages, and I love them all! I stay at home mostly throughout the week, and I’ve been wanting to get out a couple of times, and this would be the perfect opportunity to take care of your dogs in walking, or dropping by to play! I live in an apartment complex, so I would have to go to where you are to walk/play with your dog, or I could take them to a dog park!
“Nicole walks our dog daily and we fully recommend her for anyone's pet care needs! Our dog is greatly improving on the leash after his daily walks with Nicole and is so at ease when she is around. Nicole is responsive, on time, and, most importantly, great with our dog.”
“I recently started using Rachel for dog walking services, and I couldn't be happier! Shes been fantastic from the start. Communication has been excellent - she always responds promptly to messages. More importantly, my dog got along with her really well. They immediately hit it off, which gave me great peace of mind.”
“Aneta have been walking our 7 month old German Short Hair puppy. Taking our energetic puppy for walks takes a lot of patience and has a bit of a learning curve. Aneta has been receptive to listen to my wife and I on things that work for us to have the puppy walk rather then bounce all over. Aneta has been flexible on adjusting her schedule when we have things come up and need someone walk our puppy.”

“Nicole is the perfect person to ask to take care of your pet. She cares for nothing more than your pet’s happiness and health, and will go above and beyond for them.

He always makes sure Calypso gets lots of playtime, which she loves because she's such an active and playful cat, and he always does precisely what I say. Knowing that my cat is in good hands while I'm away is such a comfort.”
Medha K.
“Medha is very passionate about the dogs she takes care of. She has a lot of experience working with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, making her very well prepared to take care of any dog. She will go out of her way to make sure a dog is happy and getting it what it needs. I have been in a club at school with her in which we train service dogs, where I have seen her practice and work with many dogs, gaining lots of experience handling them and learning how to be well in tune with their behaviors and needs. I would certainly recommend Medha to anyone who needs dog sitting.”
