I needed a last minute dog walker for my puppy. Matilda responded within minutes! She was able to walk my 60 pound puppy with ease! My pup loved her so much we booked again the next day!

Aaron is outgoing, kind and respectful. He communicates in a clear and timely manner, including a description of the walk. He is very conscience of the rules, which I appreciate as my dog has anxiety issues around other dogs. I trust that my dog is in safe hands with Aaron!

About: I have had animals all my life. My mother was a veterinary technician and as a kid I often went to work with her and helped with the animals. I have owned my own dogs since the age of 19 and have seen them all through their entire lives. I currently have a 15-1/2 year old pup and I give her only the best care. I am very empathetic and can anticipate many dogs needs. I also have a lot of medical knowledge about dogs and am great in emergencies in case anything happens. My dog is resource-protective and leash reactive, so I have a lot of experience with that as well. I work from home so I have a lot of flexibility to be able to help others give their pets what they need when it comes to dog walks, love and companionship. Great for the busy working dog parent I will do whatever it takes to keep your dog safe, comfortable and happy. I can only watch dogs in your home, and will follow any rules you have set out for your doggo's care.

About: I’ve always lived in homes with furry friends and have walked, bathed, feed and loved them as long as I can remember. Retirement has afforded me the opportunity to treat your pet as if they were my own. :-) I am honest and compassionate, and I give my all in whatever I do. I prefer direct communication in order to understand all expectations so they can be met and preferably exceeded. I will pay attention to your pet and address their individual needs! Please let me know exactly how you play with and care for your pet! My goal is to leave you with the absolute best experience possible. :-) I have a very flexible schedule and can work with you on whatever needs you have. I can be available on short notice when “life happens.” My wife and I have a dilute tortoise that we care for. She’s very talkative and probably the most chill yet social cat I’ve known. That could change though!

Grace is the best pet sitter around! We love having her pet sit and house sit, but most importantly our animals (a dog and a cat) both love her. She is communicative, on time, trustworthy, and loves spending time with our fur babies. She takes our dog on adventures and tires her out which we appreciate. We've used her for joint pet sitting friend's dogs as well, and she's more than capable of handling multiple dogs (plus the cat)! We put down our older dog (13 years old) over the summer, but she was great with him too. She handled giving him is medicine no problem, and taking him on separate/easier walks from our younger, energetic dog. We've had her help us for lots of different situations - longer weekends (4+ days) or just dropping by for quick walks. We couldn't recommend Grace more!

There’s nothing more satisfying than finding the right person to take care of your beloved pet. Ashley is more than qualified to take on any challenge when making your pet feel comfortable. My beloved dog, Bruno, adored her so much and loved when she’d take him for walks. If you’re trying to find someone who has such a compassion for animals look no further than her. Truly an amazing and kind person.

About: I’ve lived my life surrounded by pets and have always been the one to volunteer to take my family dogs on walks. I have experience with both elderly dogs and puppies, and I also offer dog running. Free daily after 12:30 PM. Weekends are always open. Just looking to make some extra income while taking some time away from school up north. A large part of good pet care, from my experience, is simply keeping them safe and entertained. I am religious about procedures, and given the proper instructions I am confident that any pet I care for will be safe and happy.

About: Being raised in a home with multiple dogs and cats, I have deeply enjoyed the role of care taking, playing, exercising, and cohabitating with animals. For the last fifteen years I have supported many friends and families in taking care of their pets. Due to graduate studies and apartment life, I do not have the joy of having an animal in my life and am hoping to support my studies with additional income while enjoying supporting animals and families. I look forward to meeting yours, supporting them, and you! I currently have a flexible schedule, as I work remotely four days a week. My ideal situation would be to establish a relationship where ongoing, consistent support can be available for both me and your pet/family! I am available for dog, cat, and house sitting, I have full overnight availability, and while I am not in a position to house your furry family members, I am available to come tend to them in your space. At this time, I am not available to bring animals to my home. I am, however, available to come tend to your furry family members at your home.
