“Karissa is so lovely and attentive, our dog Eva absolutely loved her and enjoyed her visits. We highly recommend her, she is a go to sitter, kept us well informed, sent us videos and pictures of the visit. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing Eva was in good hands.”
“Rafaela was very patient and kind with my pups. She showed up promptly and you can tell that she loves these animals. Very attentive and thorough. Would definitely book her again! Thank you”
“I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! Johnathan provided regular updates, including photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was happy, wait for him , and got plenty of exercise and attention. It’s clear that Johnathan genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable. I highly recommend Johnathan to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible dog sitter!”
“I’ve said this many, many times & will say it again - Yvette is the absolute best! She goes above & beyond for my fur babies - she even took my high-energy puppy out to the park in the rain & wind during her scheduled walk. I reached out super last minute in a pinch to see if she was available, and she responded right away and said she could walk my puppy the next day. She also takes the best pics & leaves detailed rover cards so we can see how they are doing. We are so thankful - THANK YOU! 😻🐈⬛🐶”
About: *** PLEASE NOTE *** WE HAVE OUR OWN PERSONAL DOGS IN OUR HOME. PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST A BOARDING IF YOUR DOG IS NOT DOG FRIENDLY!!! I have over 10 years of experience working with dogs. I have experience with all ages, breeds, and temperments. I am pet first aid and CPR certified. I am also a professional dog trainer. My life is centered around the business I have built. My home is set up to accommodate dog boarding and daycare specifically. I am available everyday (including holidays) for daycare/boarding and I am available for walks, drop ins, and training sessions Monday to Saturday. In my home, I have designated areas for different age groups, energy levels, and even a specific room as a quarantine space if a dog is injured or sick and needs a quiet place to rest alone and away from the others. They are allowed on all the furniture as well as the beds. Dogs are only crated at owners request. I try to make them feel as at home as possible. I have a fenced in yard as well as a dog run I built on the side of my home to allow multiple safe places to play. I also mirror your routine as close as possible.
“Mike is an amazing dog walker. You can tell he really loves dogs. He has terrific communication and keeps in tabs with you on your pup. He often goes above and beyond to make sure your pup is okay. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a dog walker!”
About: Hi! My name is Veronica, and I’m a graduate student, athlete, and huge animal lover with experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m very active and love being outside, so dog walking and playtime are something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your dog loves long walks, needs extra patience, or just wants company during the day, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand how important trust and communication are when someone else is caring for your pet, so I always try to be dependable, responsive, and attentive to each dog’s routine and needs. I also send photo updates during visits so you can feel relaxed knowing your pet is doing well. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, shy dogs, puppies, and senior pets. I’d love the opportunity to meet your dog and help make your day a little easier! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I love being able to dedicate time to it each day. I have classes in the mornings and early afternoons, so I’m available for walks and drop-in visits in the after 3 PM on Mondays, between 1 PM and 6 PM on Tuesdays, and later in the day on Fridays, after 3 PM. I’m also flexible on other days depending on your pet’s needs! I’m great at sticking to routines, so whether your pet needs a midday walk, evening visit, or consistent check-ins, I’ll make sure they get the attention, care, and exercise they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay in their familiar routine and environment. I take the time to build trust with each pet, paying attention to their behavior, energy level, and individual needs. I always ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure during walks and visits, and I’m mindful of surroundings to keep your pet safe at all times. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I've been dog walking, sitting, boarding for over 10 years now! I had my German Shepherd Rony for 10 years and my life changed the day we brought him home. Because of him I have a super active lifestyle. I live to go on walks, hikes, runs, and love to explore new places and go on adventures! I've taken care of puppies that need basic training all the way to senior dogs that need extra care. From the smallest pups all the way to giants - I adore them all!! I am working from home, so your pet will always get endless love, belly rubs, walks, and anything and everything else they love! Having had my German shepherd that I trusted only a handful of people to take care of him, I understand the level of trust a pet owner must have for their pet sitter / walker, and I know I can be that temporary companion for them! :) hope to meet your pup soon!! I'm currently working from home so I am very flexible on walks, daily care, and pup sitting! I do request for dog sitting to get an early heads up as we love adventuring during the weekend. But if pet owner is ok with it, I would love to bring your pup along for the adventures!! :) I have a big fenced yard for plenty running and playing fetch, but I never leave your pup unattended! If needed, and your pup is crate trained I have different sized playpens and crates. I understand it takes every pup a different amount of time to get used to a new environment and I work with every pup individually. Just like humans, everyone has their own personality :)
“Jennifer is a life saver and is taking wonderful care of our precious baby. She has been a blessing when I had to go to work while my husband is out of town, and so flexible with last minute changes that came up unexpectedly. We cannot thank you enough!!”
About: I’m Stacy! I have owned several dogs, birds & guinea pigs throughout my life starting at young age. My love for animals is undeniable. My most recent dogs were a Shetland Sheepdog & a Greyhound. I currently do not have any pets, as I enjoy traveling. Your pet will be in great hands, as I am very conscientious & reliable. I have been a Registered Dental Hygienist for the last 20 years. I would like to balance my time walking dogs for those who do not have a flexible schedule as I currently do! I live in a quiet development with park like amenities. I do not have a yard so your dog will be walked on a leash in a private neighborhood with no traffic.
“It is my first experience with Alexa, and I can say she is absolutely amazing. Oreo had a great meet and greet with her, and he enjoys his walks. She is very professional and caring. I highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 10 years old and have had several different types of pets ranging from dogs, cats, fish, bearded dragons, rabbits, and turtles. I am a teacher during the school year and I am looking to use my summer free time by providing you with ease and peace of mind when it comes to your pet! I have a fenced in yard, plenty of food, treats, toys and beds for my own dog. I ensure daily meals are met, medications are taken, and exercise is completed!
“Ana is thoughtful and conscientious. We appreciate her updates and taking the extra time to send us any questions or fun updates she may have. We also love the pictures she shares with us!”
About: I love dogs and have always grown up with them. My first dog was a St. Bernard/Lab mix and I currently have two spoiled Havanese pups that are brothers. I am reliable, believe in clear communication and provide frequent updates to ensure that owners are comfortable knowing their pets are safe and happy while they’re away! I’m in school part-time and work per diem so I’m pretty flexible with my time. Let me know what works for you and your pet(s) and I’m sure we can figure something out! I treat every dog that I look after as if they were my own. I’ll make sure to build trust and give them all the extra love, cuddles, and attention while you’re away!

Jon is the absolute best! He was great with my big Akita puppy. He knew how to handle a big doggy and how to help a puppy be comfortable. He went above and beyond to make sure Rocko was well-taken care of. I was able to feel at ease knowing Rocko was in good hands. I would 100% recommend Jon and will definitely be a returning client! Thank you Jon!
Adriane is wonderful with my puppies. She is punctual, reliable, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to my two crazy Boston Terriers. She is patient, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I always feel at ease knowing they are in such good hands, and they are always happy and well cared for after their walks. I truly appreciate her professionalism, dependability, and the kindness she shows my dogs every time.
Alexa has been walking our precious Luna for a while. She has been reliable and enthusiastic in her relationship with Luna and taking care of her needs.
