“With the busy schedules my husband and I have, we use Melissa weekly for recurring walks. She is great about picking up extra walks when we need, so our fur baby has some consistency with all traveling I do for work. Bruno loves her and I love the peace of mind she gives us! Thanks Melissa for all you do!”

“My dog loves her - and so do we! Ellen is super flexible and enabled us to work odd hours this week and still get our dog the care she needs!”

“Matt has been amazing with Luca. He is very easy going, he’s experienced with large breed dogs which was very important for me when selecting him. Matt has a flexible schedule and he goes above and beyond my expectations when he goes on walks with Luca. Luca in a short time has grown to love Matt. Luca gets very excited when he sees Matt coming down the driveway to pick him up to take him on his walk to the park.”

“Moria cares for my animals ( 2 dogs and 4 cats) when I go out of town. This will be 4-7 days at a time. While Moria watches my animals she plays with them, grooms them, walks them, feeds them, and sends lots of pictures to me so I can see them. Moria will even FaceTime if asked, or sometimes offer, if it’s been a long trip. I would recommend her services! My animals absolutely love her.”

“I am delighted with her work, she has taken care of my little Lukas as if he were the most precious treasure I have. I recommend her with my eyes closed, I know I can count on her. 💕”

Our mission is to provide you with ultimate peace of mind when you travel, offering the highest quality pet care that not only keeps your pets safe and happy but also enriches their lives through physical activity, mental stimulation, all while in a stress-free environment. Dogs have always been a big part of our lives—we’ve grown up with them, cared for them, and even took in foster dogs to give back to these amazing companions. Over the past year, we’ve had the pleasure of caring for countless pets, and we’ve come to realize just how rewarding working with dogs truly is. My background includes managing a dog boarding and grooming facility since 2021, which remains the best and most fulfilling job I’ve ever had. That experience taught me so much about different breeds, genetic issues, grooming needs, and more. My partner brings over 4 years of hands-on experience with dogs, including professional work as a bather and dog trainer. Together, we make an exceptional team, fully equipped to care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. We know how important it is for your pups to feel like cherished members of the family, and we’re prepared to treat them just that way—with your permission, of course!

Our top priority is to keep your pets happy, healthy, and safe. We send regular updates, including photos and messages, so you can stay connected with your dogs while you’re away. We also take the time to learn about your dogs’ routines, preferences, and any special care they need to ensure they feel comfortable and loved. We treat every dog we care for as if they were our own, with lots of patience, love, and attention. Whether it’s a fun trip to the park, a calming cuddle session, or an extra treat for good behavior (with your permission, of course!), we’ll ensure your pups have a fantastic time while they’re with us.

“Victoria was a wonderfully caring and consistent dog walker. Highly recommend!”

“My first impression of Khalilah Rover page was that a Meet and Greet was required and that gave me instant relief. Some people are a jump right in, but for me and my 2 VERY active and socially awkward Border Collies, a M&G is necessary. She was very calm and allowed the girls to get comfortable before petting. We talked, she asked great questions, and then we did a little walk around the park before confirming they we all felt comfortable. After we set up a paid trial so all 3 could make sure they were comfortable and the walk went great!! She is very communicative and I feel very honest. My 2 girls trusted her right away and are so happy to see her. This is a great combination. I would recommend her services to anyone around.”

“We had Carmen walking our bernedoodle for the last two months. Always consistent with timing, communication, and the care she showed to our dog. Thank you!”

“Katiri Sherman has been helping to take care of dogs since she was three years old in the home of her grandmother. Helping to feed and walk the dogs were her favorite past times. At five years old she was trying to rescue dogs that she felt needed help. She loves the outdoors and was often found playing with the dogs outdoors. She is a kind loving and caring young lady and would be an asset in caring for your animals.”

“Darcelle is the sitter for my grandcat, Sophie.Darcelle deeply loves animals and my two furbabiesMax and Maggie love her. Animals can sense when a person cares for them. She plays with them, talks to them, cares for them. She is a loving person who truly cares for pets.”

About: I’ve Taken care of and trained over dozens of animals in over 6 years. I was an assistant pet trainer/groomer at a dog kennel. And volunteer for several animal shelters. I love taking care of animals of all kind, but specifically cats and dogs! I’m currently working part time remotely, so I’ll have a lot of time to make sure you pet is loved and cared for! I have a cat of my own and I always make sure she’s happy and healthy! I like to take walks 2-3 times a day so I don’t mind making sure your fur baby has had plenty of potty breaks. I live in a gated community with a fence separating me from my neighbors. I also have a huge backyard and plenty of space to keep your animals active and happy. I also love taking walks and having outside time. They deserve to have fun and enjoy their day too!

“Amyna is a loving, caring and thoughtful person. She’s wonderful with animal companions and they all hold a special place in her heart. She’s very sensitive to their needs and always makes sure they are happy and well taken care of. She is very responsible and always communicates when needed. Anyone would be quite fortunate to secure her as the caregiver for their animal companion!”

“Liz is a great, reliable walker! My dog warmed up to her super quickly despite being nervous around new strangers at first. Will definitely continue to book with her!”

“Ketera was fabulous… prompt and very easy to communicate with. I’ll definitely keep requesting her services in the future!!!”

“Rachael is an amazing pet caregiver, a very caring, loving, and responsible person that I would definitely trust with my animal. From the first day that I met Rachael, they have been the most attentive person I've met in terms of animal care, and I would highly recommend them as a care taker for anyone's animal, and I believe this would be an amazing opportunity for them to delve into, thank you!”

“I have one wire fox terrier and one boxer (he's 100 pounds) and crystal stayed with them an entire month and everyday I got pictures, updates, and so my babies having a GREAT TIME! Crystal also took care of my plants, house dusting, and brought in all my mail. It pained me when I moved from the city, because after six months I have not been able to find someone as good as Crystal. You can 100% trust her with your fur babies!!”

About: I’ve taken care of my families dogs, for the past year. Teaching me a great deal about having a pet, and caring for one. From giving them medicine to cuddles. I'm currently a Community College student who is in trade school and have 6-8 hours of classes through out the week, and basketball from 4-6 pm as well if we can work together on a schedule that works for both of us. Pet care will fit into my schedule as much or as less as you, the pet owner, need from me. In the home of the pets, with a little explaining of where all the pets needs are, and any rules that need to be set I’ll be able to follow those, allowing maximum nearly perfect care for your pets.

About: I take time and care with all my dogs. They are clean and always feed. They have a clean comfortable space and healthy delicious food. I have my own dog and I am stay at home Mom so I have time to give the dogs the care they need at my home. My dogs are always walked. I play with the dogs I have brand new dog toys at home for the dogs I sit. The dogs are always happy when they are in my care.

About: As a veterinary assistant, I’m trained to recognize potential health issues and respond quickly in emergencies. I provide compassionate care, tailored to each pet’s needs, from energetic puppies to senior pets. Working as a veterinary assistant during the day allows me to stay connected to animal care. After my shifts, I have free time dedicated to pet sitting and walking, ensuring your pets get the best care. When pets are in my home, they are treated like royalty. I make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and feel safe, giving them the attention they deserve as if they were my own.
