“Kristen did a great job taking care of our pets for over a week. She was fast to respond to our request and was an excellent communicator. Really appreciated her updates. Would definitely recommend her.”
About: I have had family dogs since I can remember and have been caring for them since around 9 years old. I'm currently studying to become a veterinary technician with a degree in animal science! I also am a former dog bather and groomer in training as well as a former kennel employee. A dogs love is unconditional and I feel that means they deserve everything and more! I am available 24 hours a day and would love to fill all 7 days of the week with fuzzy, slobbery friends! I do have occasional doctors appointments or visits with family and whatnot, but those should be reflected in my calendar! I will be accompanied by lots of love and lots of patience. I will feed and give medication as needed. If any housekeeping is needed I am happy to help, and I will walk, brush and let them outside as you ask, maybe even a nail trim if needed!
“Lindsey provided outstanding twice daily care, feeding and walks for our two pups for three weeks while we were on an extended vacation. Lindsey is super knowledgeable and personable and took care of our pups like they were her own. We were absolutely delighted with her services and wholeheartedly recommend her and will use her services again as the need arises.”

About: Having grown up with pets my entire life (from pigs and peacocks to dogs and guinea pigs), I understand the importance of providing great care to all furry friends. I have two dogs of my own, a 4 year old lab and 7 year old Cavapoo. I am happy to provide play time, snuggle time, walks, and medication (if necessary) for puppies to senior dogs. I know leaving your fur baby in the care of someone else can be stressful, so I try to alleviate that stress by being responsive, providing updates, and loving on your pet while you are away. **please note, I do not provide care for aggressive dogs. Thank you for understanding!!! I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I work part time from home, and am able to provide walks, play time, and couch time if you have a snuggler. I have a fenced in yard with two friendly dogs. For them, we enjoy nightly walks, afternoon fetch, and morning treats. If you board in our home, your pet must be dog and kid friendly. At your home, I can provide play time, walks, and tons of love and affection.
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience, caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s been a lifelong passion. From a young age, I’ve been surrounded by animals and have dedicated my life to understanding and supporting their needs. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have worked professionally as a veterinary technician in a veterinary office in Utah, giving me a strong medical background and the ability to recognize and respond to a wide range of health and behavioral concerns. My experience also includes working in multiple kennels across many states where I cared for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. This has given me the skills to handle everything from energetic puppies to senior pets requiring extra patience and care. At home, I’m a proud pet owner myself. I have a 13-year-old Chihuahua that I’ve raised since he was a puppy, as well as an 11-year-old pit bull mix I rescued from a shelter in 2017, and my beloved cat I adopted in 2023. My own pets have given me firsthand experience with aging animals, rescue care, and the importance of providing a safe, loving environment. When you trust me with your pet, you can feel confident knowing they will be treated like family—with compassion, experience, and the highest level of care. I am open most days, as I homeschool my child. Saturday afternoons are usually reserved for personal time but I am available in the morning and night. I can let your dog out in your back yard, take them for a walk, clean litter boxes, do playtime, give food, water, and medications on their schedule.
“Hania does an excellent job with my Malory. Would highly recommend others use her services. She takes beautiful pictures of my pet while I am away and also makes sure her food and water are topped off. Our cat has also grown fond of her.”
About: Ive always loved animals, especially dogs. I grew up on a farm, and I have skills training, and taking care of many types of animals. Im currently working part time, and have plenty of time to check on and watch your pups. I have time on the weekends and weekdays for you. I have lots of space, love, and care for your pets. At my clients home I follow instructions and preferences to care for their pets.
About: What sets me apart as a dog walker is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs and understand they often need extra care, slower-paced walks, gentle handling, and lots of comfort and affection. Whether your pet needs a quick 20-minute walk, a drop-in visit, or all-day companionship, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for the entire time. I focus on building trust with each animal and providing personalized care for their unique personality and needs, giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I am a stay at home mom of older children so I am available daily as needed. I am also available weekends and holidays day or night. I will give complete loving care to your pets and will walk and give companionship as much or as little as needed. I will treat them like my own.
About: Hi, I’m Tess! I live in Charles Town, WV with my two-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Louie, and two cats, Tatiana and Rudy — so your pet is walking into a home that already loves animals. I take a slow, easy approach to dog care. I let dogs sniff, wander, and just be themselves, whether we’re doing a neighborhood walk, a quick potty break, or a longer trail outing. Every walk is just two dogs at most, so your pup gets real time and attention. I always send photo updates along the way so you can see how they’re doing. I welcome dogs of all sizes who are friendly with other dogs, cats, and people. For boarding, I have a large fenced backyard and keep things small and relaxed — more like a home than a kennel. I also offer occasional house sitting for dogs who are happiest in their own space. I’d love to meet your pup! Feel free to reach out to check availability or set up a meet-and-greet. Fridays are my day off, so walks are unhurried and get my full attention. For boarding, I'm home all weekend, so any dog staying with me has someone around rather than sitting alone in an empty house. Dogs staying with me have access to a large fenced backyard and are never left alone outside. Inside, I keep a calm, low-stimulation environment. My Cavalier Louie lives here full time, so any boarding dog will be introduced to him gradually and supervised until I'm confident they're comfortable together. I do a meet and greet with Louie before confirming any boarding stay. For house sitting, I follow the owner's routine as closely as possible so the dog's environment feels as normal as it can while they're away. Photo updates are sent throughout any service.
About: Hi!! I’m Tatiana and I’m here to take the best care of your pet! I love all sorts of animals, big and small, mighty and shy. I am reliable, have my own car, and am free 95% of the time! I am currently unemployed and looking for extra ways to make income. I am available practically all of the time. I am not picky! Taking care of animals is part of who I am. My cat, Mila, can testify! Unfortunately I am unable to bring pets into my house, but I am more than willing to provide my exceptional services at your comfy home! I have experience with many animals!
About: I've always been around animals. Whether it was family pets or animals I showed in FFA, I've always had animals near and dear to my heart. Currently I'm working part time and have lots of time to devote to your fur babies. I'm available for house sitting, drop in visits, or dog walking (they can help me get my 10,000 steps in) I understand all things routine involving fur babies, I can walk them when needed, play and take care of them so you have peace of mind while you're out.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
