“Allison was great to work with—very easy to communicate with and right on time. She took my boxer out for a full hour walk and brought him back happy and clearly feeling much better after taking care of his business….. twice. Would definitely book with her again! 🐶”

About: Hi - My name is Sarah, and I am a life-long dog and cat owner who can't wait to meet your fur baby! Dogs have always had a particularly special place in my heart; when I was a kid, I knew the names of every dog in my childhood neighborhood. I have experience walking, playing, feeding, and doing some light grooming of dogs since I was twelve years old. I have experience playing with, feeding, and doing some light grooming of cats since about the same time. I have also owned mice and hamsters at various points throughout my life. I have a gentle demeanor that makes animals naturally trust me. I am just as happy to be playful or cuddle on the couch with a pet, and I am naturally cautious, making sure to build trust with pets so they can get to know and feel comfortable with me. I look forward to caring for your pets!! I am an educator who is off for the summer, so my week day availability is very open until the end of August. After August, I will still be available nights and weekends. I will work with the safety measures you have in place at your home. I will keep a watchful eye on your pets inside and outside. I have experience crating dogs and can do that if necessary. I will also make sure leashes and harnesses fit well and are not frayed or torn.

“My 11 year old blind, toothless and admittedly neurotic minpin has very strong “YOU’RE NOT MY MOM” energy. He has failed two dog walkers before Dave, seeing as they couldn’t even get him out of the house because he kept trying to nip their fingers with the few teeth he has left. After reading Dave’s reviews I decided to give it one more shot. Dave blew my mind when he sent me photos of Big Bear out and about, riding shot gun in the car, traipsing around the dog park. My beloved pain in the butt little dog won’t even let some of my FAMILY members take him out, more so since he’s gone completely blind. AMAZING. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi fellow dog lovers! We’re Taylor and Mark, dog sitters along with our dog Callie. We would be more than happy to help with any dog sitting or boarding needs. We can take care of small, medium, and large dogs as well as all ages. I trained Callie myself when she was a scared rescue at 5 months old with a professional dog trainer. She is a great dog that’s now more social than ever! We love and take care of her very well so you can expect the same for your dog. If you have any requirements or preferences, let us know and we’d be most likely able to abide by them. Contact us if you’re interested! I have a flexible schedule working from home 3 days a week and Mark is home when I’m not. We are available most weekends. We can take care of your dog or dogs for multiple days at a time if our schedules align. We live in a large clean apartment with a yard and plenty of space to play. We take Callie on long walks and take her out every 2-4 hours so we would do the same for your dog unless less time is needed. We live alone with Callie, so it would be just us and your dog. We adopted Callie, a labrador retriever mix, 3 years ago so we have plenty of experience taking care of her and other neighborhood dogs. If you have any requirements or preferences, let us know and we’d be most likely able to abide by them.

“Great walkers :)) so friendly and accommodating. I appreciate when a walker does their best to do long distance walks in 30 minutes. In a dream world, I’d love to pay for an hour but just can’t afford it right now, so having a walker that is putting in the effort, means so much. Nothing better than a tired dog!”

About: I’ve had a lifelong experience with dogs including growing up with two Scottish Terriers and raising my now seven-year-old lab shepherd mix, Tux. Combined, I’ve acquired great experience with dog care and training. I currently work full time from home from 9-5 Monday through Friday. On weekends, i am also available with notice. I’m available for walks from your home or pet sitting/walks from my home during the day/evening. On top of that, I’m happy to have your dog for boarding. I have a fenced in yard and parks very close to my home making for a great walk. Tux is here 7 days a week and I can let our dogs play or separate them if you prefer. Your pet is welcome on the couch in the living room or dog beds.

For Saturday anytime in the day works for me and for Sunday anytime before 6am and then again at 3:30pm. My main priority is comfort making sure you are comfortable with entrusting your pet in my care and making sure your pet is comfortable with me. I will do this by allowing the pet to become familiar with me so they aren’t scared and providing treats as well as playful sessions to get them comfortable.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes for most of my life, from tiny pups to gentle giants! I’m a proud dog mom to a Great Dane, so I know what it takes to handle big personalities (and even bigger paws). Whether it’s a chill cuddle session or an energetic walk, I tailor every visit to your dog’s unique needs. You can count on me to treat your pup like my own with patience, love, and lots of tail wags! I work from home full time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks and drop-ins with a little notice. Most days, mid-afternoons to early evenings work best for me, but can be flexible with mornings. If you’re comfortable, I’m happy to bring my pup along for a walk. It’s a great way for your dog to get some friendly socialization! Whether in my home or yours, I always make sure your pups feel comfortable and loved. I will work with you to ensure I am keeping their routine consistent, from feeding and walks, to playtime and snuggles. I am always available for a meet and greet as well! I want to ensure your puppy feels right at home. In addition, I have experience with all kinds of leashes and collars.

About: Hi, my name is Richard. I grew up taking care of my family’s pets, I love all types of animals but cats and dogs hold a special place in my heart and being around animals has always been second nature to me. I took a break from Rover this past year while I moved and focused on work, but I’m fully back now with an open to give your pets my full attention. I currently work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. That means I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they need throughout the day. I believe each animal deserves their own personal care and routine, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just relaxing together. With me, your pet will always feel safe, loved, and cared for like they’re part of my own family. I have a flexible career working from home. This means I’m always around to give pets the attention they need, whether that’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left waiting for care. I build my schedule around making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I will care for your pet like it is my own. Whether it is in my home or yours I will ensure that they are comfortable, well loved, fed and played with.

About: Lifelong dog owner & runner. I have a Vizsla and understand high energy breeds exercise needs and the play/affection of all dogs! Looking forward to bonding with your 🐕 and making sure they are healthy and happy! I work 3 12hr shifts at a hospital and have the flexibility to help with morning, afternoon or evening walks on several days a week. I’m a very active person and constantly out with my own dog. It’s my happy place to be outside and I’m looking forward to helping your dog walking or drop-in visit needs while you are away or at work. Please let me know your dog’s particular needs for drop-in visits. Any food/treats or medication they may need. Any allergies. If a dog walk, please let me know if your dog is friendly with other dogs or timid (if I should cross the street to avoid another dog interaction). This way I can ensure a safe and happy walk for your dog!

We got our Dog two months ago, and Kelly was her first outside walker. Our dog has been apprehensive with strangers in the past, so we took a graduated approach, which Kelly (and Hershey) were very receptive to. We appreciated how Kelly was patient with Hershey and read her body language well, and over the three walks Hershey became increasingly comfortable. Would absolutely book again!
