“Lulu has been wonderful! She has been walking my 10 month old puppy who was not great on a leash but seems to be doing well! My puppy cries for her when she drops her off! Lulu is very punctual and professional and has answered any questions I have. She also leaves a detailed report after each walk. I would highly recommend her!”


“Amber has been absolutely wonderful with my dog! She is communicative, shows good judgment and is excellent to work with. We are very thankful for her walks and attentiveness.”


About: I volunteer for an animal rescue. I have fostered puppies and participated in their adoption process. I have cared for babies all the way up to seniors. Both dogs and cats. While I do have fur babies of my own, I will not bring them around yours unless they have already been introduced. This is my full-time job so I'm available to take care of your fur baby whenever you need me. I would love to meet them and play! I will meet with you and your pet ahead of time to learn about your pet and what they need from me when I visit with them.

“Wendy was FABULOUS! She was very kind and responsive, and was happy to modify the schedule when our needs changed. I would absolutely work with her again!”


“Cheyenne is wonderful. She is always on time and professional. More importantly my dog Grace looks forward to her walks with her. I like how she lets me know of her bathroom habits so I can monitor. Highly recommend her.”


“Telicia was great! I can tell by the pictures that my dog loves her. She is so kind and considerate. I will definitely be reaching out to her again and would 10/10 recommend her for dog walking!”


About: I have a big fenced in yard. All dogs will be allowed anywhere in the home, plus on all furniture ! I will love your pup as my own. Belly rubs, walks, cuddles and playtime will be what your pup will experience when I sit for them. I currently have 2 dogs of my own. 1 male who is 5 and a Pitt mix. 1 female who is an Aussie mix who is also 5. Both are rescues and get along very well with all dogs. Of course we can do a meet and greet. Several blankets and dog beds for your dog to lay on!! I am currently employed as a certified medical assistant. I would be available Monday through Sunday. I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to 4pm. I am active so walks will be a must, weather permitting. Big yard to play in or chill on the couch/bed watching movies and cuddling ❤️ I do have a fenced in yard and a crate if needed. If at your place, I will take them out, crate if needed, and walk with them.

About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets as well as pet sitting for friends and family for more than 20 years. I have two dogs and two cats. One of my dogs is disabled and requires a lot of care. I’m well trained to take care of any of your pets who require special care. I spent three years as a pet store manager and I can care for birds, reptiles, small animals, fish, dogs, and cats. I’m a high school teacher and so I’m up by 5am and off work by 3pm. I can come before school, in the middle of the day between 11:30 and 12:30 as well as any time after 4:00. I can easily care for your pet in your home. Keeping them in a familiar place and on their normal routine. This allows their familiar sights and sound while you are away.

“Georgia is super sweet and very communicative. My dog has a lot of triggers on walks and she listened and made accommodations to help Eeyore have a calmer walk. Highly recommend!”


“Nathan was absolutely fantastic. We did two meet and greets with him because our dog Sam is special. Nathan was willing to invest the time to earn Sam’s trust which meant a lot to us. We were gone for 7 days and the weather was brutally cold. Nathan was prompt to come take the dogs on their walk each day and endure the 2 degree temps. We highly recommend Nathan as a dog walker and will definitely use him again. Thank you so much Nathan!”


About: Hi! My name is Megan and I currently have three cats and a rat terrier puppy who 5 years old! Unfortunately in 2018 I lost my 14 year old Jack Russell Terrier. I love animals and have always had at least one pet in my life, usually cats and dogs at the same time so if you have cats too I'm good to go. I love hanging out with animals and would be thrilled to sit your whenever you need :) Since I have so many pets at my house at the moment, I cannot board dogs, but I can do anything else! I'm always ready to welcome new furry friends into my life, even temporarily. Please let me know if you have any more questions! I work full time in OP so I am able to drop in on pets before or after my 8-5 shifts and anytime over the weekends. I like to make sure pets are comfortable with me and with each other, so I don't have pets stay in my own home. This is because I have many of my own pets. I only watch pets in their own homes.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—growing up with dogs and even having a cat along the way. I’ve been dog sitting for years and currently have a pup of my own, so I know just how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. I’m also a certified dog trainer, which means I’m experienced, attentive, and always focused on your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness! I am flexible with my hours and am available every day. I can work with your schedule as needed. Just let me know when you need help My focus is on keeping your pets routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and well-loved by following your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication, or just keeping them company. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and in good hands while you’re away. With my background as a certified dog trainer, I’m also comfortable handling pets with special needs or unique behaviors.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life and have spent years caring for pets of all kinds for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it’s a goofy pup, a cuddly cat, or an adventurous bunny, I truly enjoy their company and treat each one like my own! These days, I find just as much joy in quiet companionship as I do in outdoor play. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly home with plenty of room to roam, relax, and cuddle. Walks, belly rubs, or just hanging out—I’m here to give your pet the attention and care they deserve while you're away. I am now retired, which means I have plenty of time and attention to give to your pet! My days are calm and unhurried perfect for slow morning walks, mid-day play sessions, and quiet afternoons full of snuggles. I truly enjoy the companionship and love having a furry friend around to share the day with. Whether your pet needs lots of play or just a peaceful place to relax, they’ll have my full presence in a quiet, cozy environment. I live in a spacious home with both a front yard and a large backyard, perfect for supervised outdoor time. While the yard isn’t fenced, I’m always attentive and happy to keep your pet leashed when outside, or follow your preferences around crate training if needed.

“Charniece was the absolute best! Even though our dog wasn't cooperative, she really tried to make things work with him. She was kind and patient with him. She was willing to keep working with him until he was comfortable.”


About: I have been working with animals my entire life, I have experience in a vet clinic as well & also have a dog of my own at home. He is very friendly and if you don’t mind, i’d love to take both our dogs on walks together so they can get some well needed socialization! I don’t go to work till the evening, so I can walk your dog anywhere between 8 am and 6 pm! I can be very flexible if needed. At this current time I will not be able to watch dogs in my own home, only due to my renting agreement, but that should not last forever!

About: I have had dogs since I was young and I learned how to train puppies/dogs from my father. I am very friendly and loving with dogs, but authoritative as well when needed. I can trim your dogs nails as well as bathe/groom them. I communicate well about concerns and updates regarding an owners pet. Daily activities with your animal is what I love; whether that’s walking, going to the park, or playing in the yard. I have had to take out puppies throughout the night to potty train as well. I am able to take care of your animals anytime for general activities or pet care. I am available to house sit your dog while you are away. It’s possible to board a dog at my house during the day or even overnight, but only small/medium dogs because I own so many animals already and there’s not a lot of space for large dogs. I can come to your home and do anything you would like for your doggo; whether that’s playing in the yard, going for a walk, feeding, going out to go potty, or even light grooming. I can clean after your animal to ensure there’s no messes in your home. At my house I have a fenced in yard in a safe neighborhood with two friendly dogs of my own to play and keep each other occupied. There is a sidewalk all throughout my neighborhood perfect for daily walks.

Alex is one of a kind! Her communication is amazing, clear, and very friendly. She was/os very knowledgeable with my large German Shepherd reactive dog, and she was amazing with him and me.
