“Nicole was fabulous I expect at a minimum that dog walkers would be good with dogs, but what really makes the difference is they’re able to navigate challenges and get the job done. It provides a lot of peace of mind. Not only did Nicole navigate my complicated building but she got what was once a very timid puppy to be less afraid. Nicole is a star.”

“Ashley was great with our dog Stowe! He was super excited when she arrived. She is professional and kept in communication with me. Will be definitely using Ashley again!”

“Gloria has been wonderful so far. She’s been very attentive and caring with our dog. Her communication is excellent, and she’s been super flexible which we really appreciate. Excited to keep working with her !”

“Sarah is the absolute best! Super reliable, trustworthy, communicative and my dog absolutely adores her. She really goes above and beyond to provide the best service and make sure the dogs are happy, safe and loved. 10 out of 10 service. She’s also very flexible and has saved me a few times in last minute requests. Would highly recommend.”


“I needed someone to walk my dog a few days while at work and Chase was great! Very dependable and gave me updates so I didn't have to worry about my pup. I'd definitely book him again!”

About: I have always been an avid animal lover, especially a dog lover, and I have always owned dogs. I started dogsitting after I graduated from college to make some money, and I immediately fell in love with it. Being able to provide a loving environment while you're away is very important for the animals, and I strive to be the best at it. My skills include dog sitting, walking, playing, and cuddling. I will also take great care of your home and treat it with respect. I also think it is important to keep the client informed of what is going on so I do like to check in. I have experience in both dogsitting and house sitting and this would let me showcase that. I currently own a Cat and turtle and feed them daily. I also clean the litter box every two days. I also help clean the turtle tank. I would follow the walking schedule for each dog and also adhere to the feeding guidelines. For a cat I would also follow the feeding guidelines and cleaning.
About: Since moving farther from home, I have been missing my family dog Cruise and am looking to share my time and dog love with others! I am also the second family to a yorkie who stays with me multiple times a year, as well as having experience caring for many other pets and breeds! Although I work full time, my hybrid schedule allows for ample flexibility to be available during weekdays at most hours, in addition to most evenings and weekends. Before meeting a new dog, it’s preferable to allow you as the owner the opportunity to share as much as you can about your pet’s unique personality and quirks, to ensure I can adjust my approach with them accordingly. Whether the dog is happier with quick potty breaks outside or prefers long energetic walks, or whether I need to stay alert to certain triggers or fears, etc, I do my best to make our visit the best time for them!
About: I grew up with 4 dogs and have been around dogs my whole life. In high school, I worked at a kennel in high school and dog sat regularly! I am usually the go to person for family and friend dog sitting help. I currently work a hybrid schedule and can create my schedule based on what I have going on outside of work. I can be available for long weekend trips or just for a day check in/walk! I have worked with many different types of dogs growing up so I am help to tend to young, old, large, small dogs. I will play and take them on walks. I try to find ways to keep them active. I will feed and give them water as needed!
About: I've grown up around all types of animals and have had three loving family dogs and somewhere around 6 cats (not all at once!). My mum has had to administer medications for both my dogs and cats, so I know the pill-wrapped in cheese method, stroking it gently down the throat, etc. but I don't know how to give shots, or anything other than oral meds really. I follow dietary instructions to a tee if they are laid out, and I love to be playful but can be firm if you want your pet to kick the habit of jumping on people. I am very flexible since I'm in an external schooling program and work part time! I will of course mention if I have an important commitment at least a week prior. I do not give the option to personally house-sit pets due to the fact that I still live with some of my family members, my apologies!
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages & multiple breeds, from playful puppies to senior pets. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every animal as if they’re my own. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or administering special care, I focus on keeping your pets happy, healthy, and safe while you’re away. I work in person Monday and Tuesday, but every other day I work from home and my hours are very flexible so I will be extremely attentive to your pets needs! I make safety my top priority by closely following any routines or instructions you provide. In your home, I respect your space and ensure pets are comfortable, secure, and never left unattended. In my care, pets get a clean, safe environment, regular check-ins, and plenty of love and attention so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
About: Since I was ~12, my neighbors would always bring their dogs for me to watch/walk while they were on vacation. More recently, I have also walked friends and neighbors dogs while they are at work (I work remote). I work remote in a flexible job, so I’m able to give lots of attention to your dog. I can walk them 4+ times per day depending on your needs, I live right near grass if they only want to go out to pee, and I am a 1 min walk from a small dog park if they love to run off leash. I live in an apartment with my own dog, so I always make sure everything is pet friendly - no harmful cleaning chemicals, air filters, only dog treats. I even have a reverse osmosis water filter to give your doggo luxury water :)

“It was our first time having Hanaya help us out and she was upbeat and positive from the beginning. She cared for my two CKCS’s like they were her own. She shows a true love for dogs and her experience with them shows. I highly recommend her!”
