“Hong to an excellent job taking care of my dog. You can tell he genuinely cares for the animals that he watches. He went above and beyond. I will definitely be using his services again!!”
“We had a great experience with Linda! She is reliable and her communication was excellent throughout. It’s such peace of mind knowing your dogs are with someone you can count on. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy walker!!”
“Elizabeth is incredibly kind and caring. She communicates clearly and consistently, and did a wonderful job earning the trust of our nervous dogs. We truly appreciate everything she does—both we and the dogs are very grateful.”
About: Older brother to like, a lot of puppies. I've raised and trained dogs at Cream Puff Labradoodles for 4 wonderful years. I have a passion for animals and all things natural. I've spent 4 years working directly with animals, providing care, medications, cleaning, and training. I am fascinated by animals and nature, and always find myself wondering what they are thinking. Dog safety was my main responsibility at our boarding kennel. Learning their body language, behaviors, and quirks is essential for gaining an animals trust and comfort.
“Tracey is amazing! She came to our home a week before our trip away so she could meet us and our dog. Her friendly, warm personality gained our confidence immediately, and won our dog’s affection! She sent us updates after each walk along with a pic of our pup being well taken care of. We would highly recommend Tracey!”
“Megan was great. Punctual, gave me continuous updates and never hesitated to ask me any questions to make sure I was satisfied. I will definitely reach out again for more services and recommend her.”
About: I’ve had dogs of all different breeds my entire life and absolutely love them with my whole heart. My family has fostered puppies numerous times and is active with a local animal shelter. I love playing with pups, relaxing with pups, and taking pups on walks. I’m currently waiting to start a new job as an ER physician assistant in July. Until then, I have wide availability on almost all days. My home has a large backyard for the dogs to play but is only fenced on two sides with an electric fence on the other two. My neighborhood is a mile long circle where I take the dogs on walks. My dogs eat twice a day in the am and then at 5pm but will of course feed your dogs whenever needed. I can adjust to any style home and backyard as needed!
About: I am an experienced pet sitter and parent to two cats, Bubba and Mama, and our sweet rescue dog, Daisy. I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My flexible WFH schedule enables me to be an attentive sitter and my camera roll is often full of pet photos so you will receive plenty of updates :). I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule so I can build my day around pet visits and check-ins, a perk my own pets continue to benefit from. I live in a pet-friendly community with plenty of green space and walking paths. My home has no stairs (perfect for short-legged or elderly pets) with direct access to open grass (we often have deer visitors!).
About: I work as a veterinary assistant at a private practice hospital. I care for dogs and puppies of all ages and sizes, and I have had personal care with my own dog and cat! I can also offer basic grooming services if needed! I work part-time at a veterinary hospital. I am available Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I would love to spend my time with your furry friend! I have a cat and have been around many dogs before and I treat every animal as I would my own! Working in a veterinary setting I have learned many skills to adapt to every dogs unique needs.
About: I have hands‑on experience caring for dogs both as an owner and through my work at a pet daycare. I’m skilled in providing daily essentials such as feeding, fresh water, medication administration, and structured walks. I also support general training by reinforcing good habits, maintaining routines, and creating a positive, engaging environment. My calm, reliable approach helps dogs feel secure, stimulated, and well‑cared‑for in any setting. I build their care into the natural rhythm of my day. Before school, I handle feeding, fresh water, and a quick walk or check‑in, and after work I have plenty of time for exercise, training, and attention. Weekends give me longer stretches for enrichment and bonding, so they get steady care throughout the week. I keep pets safe by maintaining a clean, secure environment and following their specific routines and care instructions. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep pets comfortable by sticking to familiar rules and daily habits. In my own home, I provide supervised play, proper enrichment, and a calm atmosphere so pets feel relaxed and well‑cared‑for.
“Joanna was great getting to know Sandy and was very caring towards her. She asked questions, shared concerns and we shared ways to make her stay more comfortable. We can’t wait to work with Joanna again!”
“Tierney is great with our dogs! Molly and Bo are always glad to see her for their regular walks, and they always come back tired and happy. Great communicator, very punctual and responsible. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many kinds since I was a teen. I have also house sat for a few barn animals and dogs. I work part time, usually only 2-3 nights a week for 2-3 hours at a time. Besides that, I also attend school virtually, which makes it easy to work around your pets schedule! I care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, which helps minimize their stress while you’re away. I try to keep their schedule as consistent as it usually is and send pic updates as often as you’d like.
