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! 🐶

Nancy was great with my Setter Georgie! Many people say they'll treat your pup like he/she was theirs. Nancy truly does that! She is quick to respond, on time and my Setter loves his walks with her.

About: I’ve owned pets of all kinds growing up and naturally love animals. I’m responsible and have experience caring for animals, I do have pets and many family with pets. I will make sure I’m monitoring my request and a give a same day response as to my availability. I do work part time so it’s possible this may affect availability. I love to pet and play with animals, every animal is different though so I make sure to be aware of body language. Whatever the animal needs I’m there wether it’s walks, play, or usually attention

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.

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.

Jose has been with me since day 3 of bringing my puppy home, and I truly don’t know what I would’ve done without him! As a teacher with a hectic and unpredictable end-of-year schedule, he’s been incredibly accommodating, reliable, and supportive every step of the way. He not only showed up for every walk, but also kept tabs on my pup and offered helpful advice whenever I needed it. Knowing she was in good hands gave me so much peace of mind. I can’t wait to work with him again in the fall. Thank you Jose!

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: (I am only able to house sit during the day, not available overnight) I have had a family dog in my life ever since I was born. My first dog lived to be 15 and he lost the ability to use his legs around the age of 9. We took care of him by giving him medication, carrying him in and outside of the house, and even purchasing a wheelchair for him to be able to go on walks again. I was 16 when this was happening and played a huge role in taking care of him. We had another dog throughout this time and were responsible for feeding, bathing, and walking both dogs. I now have one dog who I walk regularly and take on hikes. I have dog-sat for both neighbors' and family's dogs and cats since I was 15. I am currently starting a part-time position and will have more available during weekdays to spend time with your sweet pets! I tend to have few obligations on the weekends, as well. I have two friendly dogs who live at my house, one that I just adopted as my own puppy to take care. We have a very large yard that he runs around in with an electric fence. However, we do have a long run that is tied to a tree in the middle of my yard. I would prefer to take care of pets in my clients' homes in order to make the pet and owners feel the safest.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 7 years and have been around animals my whole life. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and look after their pets while they’re away. I’m very attentive and patient and always try to match each pet’s personality and routine, whether that means lots of walks and playtime or just calm companionship and cuddles. I truly treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re gone. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make it a priority in my schedule. I work full-time during the weekdays, but I’m available before and after work, evenings, weekends, and overnight. I plan my schedule carefully so every pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and love they deserve. My goal is always to keep your pet comfortable by maintaining their normal routine and providing dependable, compassionate care. I always prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication when caring for pets. I’m very respectful of each pet’s home and follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care needs. I make sure doors, leashes, and gates are secure, keep pets in safe areas at all times, and never introduce them to unfamiliar animals without permission. I’m attentive, calm, and careful, and I always aim to create a comfortable, stress-free environment where pets feel safe and cared for.

Nicky took such great care of our senior dog, Gracie, while we were out of town for a few days! She communicated well with us and was flexible in adjusting the walking schedule when we found out there would be fireworks one night during Gracie’s nighttime walk. She always made sure the water bowl was full and send us cute pics and updates! Thank you, Nicky!!!

Our 2 dogs were well taken care of by Jadeth and Noah while we were away. They came on time and sent us pictures with updates on our dogs. That gave us peace of mind as we tend to be worried of leaving them at home by themselves. We really appreciate their care and walks. Our dogs looked happy to see them. We will definitely reach out to them again next time.

I the MOST wonderful experience with Kaylee. She was amazing, highly communicative, and truly went above and beyond in caring for my dog who struggles with separation anxiety. She was attentive, patient, and proactive in managing my dog’s needs which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. She was a true lifesaver. I would highly recommend Kaylee to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. I would have loved to continue working with her long term if she wasn’t moving to a different state, and I would do so in a heartbeat.
