11. Erica X.
“7 years ago, Erica adopted a little long haired Chihuahua named Snoopy. Snoopy was put into an animal shelter by her previous owner because they couldn’t properly take care of her. Hence, she was severely malnourished and lonely. She was shy, skittish and her coat off had a hint of yellow from malnourishment; and she was also underweight at 7 pounds. Snoopy is at healthy 12 pounds and is happy little ball of fur who loves belly rubs from strangers. Erica showed only love to this little puppy who had known nothing but neglect for first two years she had been alive. She also trained Snoopy to sit, lay down and even potty trained her. All in all, I whole heartedly urge you to let Erica become a caregiver to your pet. Put your trust in her like the scared little puppy Snoopy did when she was adopted.”


12. Elyla A.


“Elyla was absolutely amazing. My grandma watched my very high energy Husky, Kira, over the Christmas break. My grandma has a bad back so I asked Elyla to come walk her once a day. When my grandma realized how energetic Kira was, she asked Elyla if she could come twice daily. Elyla agreed and quickly became Kira's favorite person. Elyla even bought Kira a Christmas present (a sweet little monkey toy and dog treats)! That alone would have been more than enough, but when Kira escaped from my grandmas house, Elyla actually drove from her house to help my grandma find her. She is the best dog buddy I could have hoped for and clearly has a heart of gold. Thanks so much Elyla!”

About: I have cared for dogs of all kinds my entire life - whether they are puppies or seniors, high or low energy, I will match their vibes and provide the best care they deserve. I don’t have a 9-5, which means your fur babies get 100% of the love and attention. I live in a vibrant, walkable neighborhood with parks minutes away from my doorstep. I provide regular potty breaks, long walks, and all-day companionship. If you would like, I can update you with photos and short videos during the stay so you can see your babies are safe, happy and totally loved. I live a spacious two-bedroom apartment with my sweet 9-year-old Shiba/American Eskimo mix, Katsu. I provide all kinds of services including doggy walks, daycare, drop-in visit and house care. When dogs stay at my place, they will have their own designated areas, separated by puppy gates to ensure a calm, safe, and stress-free environment.


14. Nathan T.
“I cant recommend Nate higher as a pet sitter! He has taken care of our three animals, two cats and a rabbit, too many times to count. He is incredibly reliable and accomadating on short notice. He has stayed at our place many times while we are away and always sends us updates and pictures of our babies while we are away. He has clearly grown up with animals by the way that all my pets warm up to him immediately, even the rabbit! I think the bun may like him more than me at this point!”


15. Eliana V.

“Eliana was available on short notice to do my dog’s evening walk and feeding. She responded to my inquiry positively within a few minutes, and provided my pup the perfect walk. I recommend her fully for her conscientiousness and willingness to help.”


16. Olga T.


“Olga is a wonderful dog walker. She’s punctual and attentive on walks. She has no problem controlling our 90lb bernedoodle who tends to pull on his walks. Highly recommend Olga for your pet.”


17. Jessica W.
“Jessica is the best caretaker of my 2 cats! You can just feel her love of animals through the fun pictures and updates she sends along. The kitties just adore her! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.”


18. Molly G.

“Molly was so great with Kensie and kept me well informed on their walks!”


19. Matthew A.

“Thank you, Matt, for walking my dog last minute while I went on a work trip.”


20. Jen S.

“Jen was able to walk my dog on relatively short notice and has helped so much in terms of relaying behaviors she has noticed my pup! I'll gladly continue to use her services and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dogwalker as someone who has worked in animal care for years.”
