Brian did a great job checking in on Mochi when I had to work all day. He took him for a walk and made sure he went potty. Gave Mochi lots of treats and attention! Thanks again ?

Mara was fantastic with Piper!!! (And me, lol)! Thank you so much for walking Piper and I am so grateful and happy to see how she adored you so quickly. Piper is picky, and sometimes slow to warm, but she loved Mara!!! She has my highest recommendation for friendliness, communication, responsiveness, and an obvious love for dogs, and dogs for her. Thank you Mara!!! We definitely would love for you to walk Piper again!!??

Henry was a great pet sitter. I felt comfortable with him with my senior pets and did great with giving their medication. He was very sweet with my elderly stroke cat too and she took to him very fast which was amazing! He kept my dog happy and took her on plenty of walks. I would definitely hire him again as he made the whole thing stress free and worked around my unpredictable schedule.

Daniel is a very reliable and responsible dog walker. He has walked our two big Huskey-German Shepherds multiple times and we’ve always had great experiences. Each time the communication has been excellent and he always sends fantastic photos of our pups. We feel fortunate to be able to rely on Daniel, when we’re out of town.

About: I seem to be a magnet for anxious dogs and cats! Both my senior cat and adolescent dog have behavioral issues/anxiety, and while it has its challenges, I find bonding with these guys can be the most rewarding experience. Between slow, gentle movements, not rushing a bond, and having lots of treats on hand, I've learned that "difficult" personalities don't always have to be so hard. I work 8-5 on weekdays, with Mondays and Fridays being working-from-home days. I can easily incorporate lunch-time and evening visits into my schedule during the week with open availability on weekends. After adopting an anxious/reactive dog, my partner and I have invested countless hours into a training program that works for us. Through this experience, I've learned the power of positive reinforcement, consent for touch, and patience even when it's the most difficult to find it. I'm a huge believer in redirecting unwanted behavior rather than punishment of any kind. Love and respect is the driving force behind all of my interactions with animals!

About: I've been training and taking care of dogs since I was 11 years old! I have housetrained, crate trained, taken Canine Good Citizen and other obedience classes, and done several years of agility training with my dogs. If you have an active dog, we can go running, hiking, or for long walks around the neighborhood. If you have a couch potato, we can lounge all day! I currently have a five year old Dalmatian mix, Izzi, who loves making new friends! She is very friendly and easygoing, and would love playing with your dog. Izzi comes with me to housesit, so your dog will have a playmate the whole time. I work remotely 2-3 days a week and am available most weekends! My remote schedule is fairly flexible, especially if coordinated in advance, so if you need weekday sitting we can probably work something out! While I don’t have a fenced in yard, Izzi and I go for several walks each day, so your dog will get lots of exercise! My own dog suffered from severe separation anxiety when I adopted her two years ago. We are also working to get over her fear of the car. I know what it's like to be trapped in your house with an anxious dog! If your dog can't be left alone (or is delicate in other ways), let me know and I can make sure to stay with them the entire time. I can work with you to make your dog's experience the best possible! Please tell me any special behavioral or medical needs that your dog has.

Emma has always loved pets and grew up with two dogs who she loved very much. Emma and I have been friends for a long time and I have always trusted her to watch my pets when I am out of town. Emma goes out of her way to make sure the animals around her are safe, she has reunited lost dogs with their owners on multiple occasions, staying with them and caring for them until their owners can retrieve them. I would recommend Emma to anyone who needs a pet caregiver, not only is she a trained nurse who can handle any situation, but she also has a soft spot for all animals.
