1. Ayashe P.

“I want to send yet another BIG THANK YOU to Ayashe for loving on my babies like I do and always caring for them with professionalism and kindness. I have enjoyed working with her for over a year where she reliably showed up to walk them in a timely manner, communicated regularly, and became a trusted part of our routine/household. Even though I booked one walk at a time, I was a recurring client this whole time and could not have done it without her. Thank you so much for all your help and being an ideal Rover walker 🐶🐶❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

About: I grew up with dogs all my life and can’t express how much I love having and taking care of them. I’ve had two Chihuahuas for 8 years and 18 years, Siberian Husky for 13 years and recently German/Australian Shepards for 14 years. My husband and I had a household full of love with our dogs. Our German Shepards both recently passed last year and it was tough. What helped us cope and go about our day was our newly adopted 4 year old pup. He’s a Chorkie (Yorkie/Chihuahua) and just the sweetest boy! We’re so happy he’s in our lives. We can’t wait to love and treat your pet like a part of our family! I am home everyday and have the time to take care and play with your dog. We live across from a park, which is convenient for multiple walks and not too far from the main local dog park at the Marina. We often take multiple walks around the neighborhood as well. Our 4 year old pup enjoys all the walk time he gets and I’m sure your dog will too. We also have a fenced yard and supervise all dogs that want to play in the yard. We allow your dog to sit on our couch or dog cot as we want them to feel cozy and at home.


5. Amy W.

“Amy and Kevin were amazing! Very communicative and accommodating the entire time. They were also knowledgeable of handling dogs that are aggressive toward each other - we felt very relieved to know that our babies were in good hands!”


6. Marlene P.

“Marlene was great! She was able to come and walk my dog (GSD) twice a day and feed and give him water. I will definitely book her again when I need a dog walker.”


7. Sarah H.


“Sarah is amazing! Our husky puppy absolutely loves her and it’s clear that she truly cares about your dog. She also makes sure to give you a run down of the walk after which I really appreciate!”


8. Darren N.

“Darren was very responsive and easy to coordinate with. We asked him to walk our dogs at the last minute and he was great! He sent multiple updates along with pictures. Would absolutely recommend him and use him again.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of animal behavior and my ability to tailor care to the specific needs of each pet. I have experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats requiring extra attention and patience. Additionally, I am skilled in administering medications, monitoring for signs of health issues, and creating enriching environments to keep pets mentally and physically stimulated. My organizational skills ensure that feeding schedules, grooming, and litter maintenance are handled with precision. Above all, I approach pet care with empathy and dedication, treating every animal as if they were my own. This commitment to providing individualized and loving care is what makes me stand out. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize meeting the needs of the animals in my care by maintaining a consistent schedule. Each day, I ensure pets are fed on time, their living spaces are clean, and they have fresh water. I also set aside time for interactive play and affection, as I understand the importance of mental and physical stimulation for their well-being. Weekly, I focus on deeper cleaning tasks, such as thoroughly sanitizing litter boxes, grooming, and checking for any signs of health issues. I believe in creating a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for pets, and I’m very organized when it comes to keeping track of their needs, such as feeding schedules or medication routines if required. This structured approach ensures that pet care is not just a task but a natural and fulfilling part of my life. Pets require consistent care to ensure their health and happiness. This includes providing fresh food and water daily, a comfortable and cozy place to sleep, and engaging toys to stimulate their minds. A window view can also enhance their environment, offering enrichment and enjoyment. Additionally, it’s essential to take precautions against parasites by using preventative treatments as recommended by a veterinarian. Regular veterinary visits are crucial for monitoring their health, addressing any issues promptly, and keeping vaccinations up to date. For safety, pets should always wear an ID tag or be microchipped to ensure they can be identified and returned if lost.


10. Bethany B.
“Bethany was my neighbor and would take care of my little one when I was on vacation. I always knew she would send photos and update me, as well as ask me any questions she might have. It was great to know I had someone nearby who cared for him like I did (he has since passed away from old age). He would always get excited to see her because she brought hai favorite treats.”


11. Janet P.

“All went very well with Clancy's first walk with Janet. She was timely, even a couple of minutes early which I appreciated. Clancy seemed happy to go for a walk with his new friend, despite his usual timidness!”


12. Jamile G.

“Jamile was super helpful and communicative during a last minute booking to feed/walk my fur babies. I had to stay late at work and she ended up booking same day and came through for me. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!!”


13. Rebecca O.
“She fed my cat, clipped her nails for me, swept up her hair, and even helped me give her medicine. I've hired her 4 times and plan to do it again in the future.”


14. Joanne T.
About: Hi, my name is JT! I've taken care of and trained dogs ever since I was a kid and had my own dog then. As an adult, I've co-parented two dogs, including a senior with multiple disabilities and medical conditions. I also have experience dog sitting and cat sitting, and have cared for pets of all ages and sizes, including puppies! As an animal lover who doesn't currently own my own pet, I love helping you all with yours, and enjoy hanging out with all my furry friends! I am mostly available for weekends and all the big holidays during which it is usually hard to find a petsitter (Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.). I also work from home twice a week and am happy to hang with your pet all day during those days and am also available to help with walks, feedings, etc. as needed! I provide dog/pet sitting services in your home and am happy to follow any routines you usually have with your pet. I will follow your feeding, medication, and exercise schedule, and am happy to answer any other questions you may have and schedule a phone call in advance as needed!

“Caitlin has been great so far! She has come by twice now to walk my fur babe, Augie. She is super quick to respond and Augie is warming up to her. Looking forward to having Caitlin walk Augie regularly going forward!”


16. Brenda P.
“Brenda’s walking services are great. My dog gets so excited to see her I can tell that he loves her so much! 100% satisfied with her services.”


17. Jimmy P.
About: Born and raised in a home full of wagging tails, I've always been surrounded by 2-3 dogs at a time, learning to understand their needs and unique personalities. My passion for pets grew even stronger when I took on the responsibility of caring for my in-laws' high-maintenance dog. This lifelong journey has led me to create a dog walking service tailored to meet each pup's individual needs. Trust me with your furry friend, and I'll ensure they're cared for, safe, and happy while you're away. Your dog's well-being is my top priority, and together, we'll embark on a pawsome adventure! My schedule is designed to accommodate the varying needs of you and your furry friends. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, I have full-day availability to provide dedicated care and attention to your dogs. On Friday and Saturday mornings, I am available for walks and care until 12:30 PM, ensuring your pets can start their day with a refreshing stroll. From Sunday to Tuesday, I am ready to take care of your dogs starting in the evenings at 6:30 PM. With this flexible schedule, I aim to provide reliable and consistent care that suits your busy lifestyle. Prioritizing safety, trust, and environment, I provide exceptional pet care in both my apartment and clients' homes. My apartment is pet-friendly, clean, and hazard-free, ensuring a secure space for your dog. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I follow guidelines, maintain cleanliness, and respect the established routine, reducing stress and anxiety. Building trust is essential, so I offer regular updates with photos and messages to keep you informed. I am committed to meeting each pet's unique needs while ensuring their happiness and well-being.

“Rosa was great! Good communication. Took Clarence on a walk and he had a nice time”


19. Kateryna G.
“I left my 4 year old Maltese Cooper with Kateryna for 10 days in August and it was JUST THE BEST THING THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME AND MY DOG!!! She sent me photos and videos every day and my dog was so happy with her!!! He has a hard time interacting with people, but with her he became best friends right away. Over the Thanksgiving weekend I left my dog with Kate again and Cooper, as soon as he saw her out the car window, started climbing up and begging for her, I have never seen my dog so happy for someone. 11 out of 10, highly recommend! I would happily use her services again ♥️”


20. Tabatha B.
“My dog has some protective tendencies of me that sometimes make him difficult to connect with. After 30 mins with Tabatha he had relaxed and I was able to feel at peace with her looking after him. Tabatha is kind, easy to talk to, and shows enormous love and care for my dog. I will be booking her again.”
