“Devinder was great! He was punctual, provided a great report and was very communicative. My pup seemed happy and refreshed when I got home. We will definitely be calling him again!”

“Absolutely wonderful! Flexible, came early when I asked, was so perfect with the dogs, easy to work with, accommodating, professional, got the job done and gave 110%! I have two tired pups!”

“I forgot to book my walks for the week and I work 12 hour shifts, so it is imperative that my tiny guy ( who refuses to go inside on puppy pads) be taken out. Bridgette saved the day, even with such short notice. My dog also loves her. I definitely recommend her to anyone.”

“Riley was fantastic! We are new at this (first family dog) as we have a puppy and Riley was a huge help to jump in at the last minute. She was kind enough to fit us in her already tightly booked schedule as we were in a huge bind! She updated throughout the day with pictures and videos. Thanks Riley!! We will definitely contact her again!”

About: I am a dedicated pet sitter with extensive experience caring for all types of pets, including puppies and senior animals.

I communicate clearly and provide regular updates with photos to give owners peace of mind. My priority is safety, reliability, and positive reinforcement to ensure a happy and healthy experience for your pet. I am a morning person and can tend to your fur babies while working and accommodating to your schedule. I am available Monday - Friday morning. I am not able to take home large pets, however we can definitely speak about housing options for the smaller pets! Mi casa es su casa ( in dog ).
“Virginia has been very friendly, communicative, and reliable! She made everything easy and stress-free as I know I can trust her to walk Rory. I definitely recommend her services and will absolutely be reaching out in the future!”

“Benji, my “rescued me” dog, has been hesitant in the past to leave the house with a new person. He has really taken to Mallory. His tail is wagging vigorously, when he sees her coming up the sidewalk! She is always warm and friendly with him, and he looks forward to her visits.”

“Nevaeh walks my dogs once a day and it is such a retro know that she is there for them while I am at work. She is an absolute sweetheart and even my more stand offish dogs loves her. Could not recommend met more!”

“Sydney was great! She was very communicative both before and throughout the visit and went above and beyond by refreshing the water for my dogs! I will definitely be rebooking!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and currently have two dogs and a cat of my own. My family has had dogs of many breeds and sizes over the years—from labs to bullies to chihuahuas—so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. In high school, I provided pet care for several families, and I bring that same calm, attentive approach to every visit. I’m dependable and take scheduling seriously, and I have flexibility with my job, which allows me to be consistent and reliable. My goal is to provide thoughtful, steady care that helps your pets feel comfortable and gives you peace of mind while you’re away. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits and focus on keeping routines consistent. Having had sitters care for my own pets, I know how meaningful regular updates and photos can be, and I’m always happy to share them. Safety is especially important to me, particularly on walks—I’m attentive, aware of surroundings, and careful to follow any guidelines you have.
“Amanda did an awesome job walking my dog Bosco! She was great at communicating over the app and really managed to win over my nervous dog. I would 100% have her watch my pets again!”

“Rachel has been my weekly sitter for about 3 months now, my pup and I both love her!!! I’ve seen a huge change in my dogs personality of being much happier since Rachel came into our lives. She takes him on nice LONG walks, takes great pictures, and is so so sweet and understanding of schedule changes. You will not be disappointed in having her watch your fur babies!!”

About: I have experience walking both large and small dogs. I particularly have experience with an anxious aggressive larger dog and a deaf, senior dog with knee injuries. I also currently am a cat mom and have experience house sitting with cats. I am flexible on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I can not do super early in the mornings as I often work, but I am flexible 9-5 on those days. I am very patient with pets and am happy to offer them all the time to sniff on a walk. In my own home, I have taken care of meal times (with dogs who have issues with being possessive with food) and prefer to do this in a calm, solo environment. For walks, I am happy to adapt to whatever your pet needs, whether it is fast, energetic walks or a slow stroll.
“I have an anxious rescue (Sir Kitt) and Kirby has been absolutely wonderful with her! When we started, Kitt had to be coaxed to walk. She was so scared of everyone. Recently, Kitt has come out of her chill spot when she hears Kirby come in! Kirby is wonderful with her and we will be booking again.”

“So nice and attentive! She met me and my dog before the walks which I really appreciated. I also needed to cancel my walks halfway through the weeks and Carolyn was extremely understanding! Would 100% recommend!”

“Kate was so great! She really went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable before leaving my baby to her. It shows how much she really cares about your dog. She had no problem handling my huge Great Dane and easing his worries while I was away. I would not hesitate to rebook her again!”

Amanda went above and beyond! When I needed to set up a walk for Thanksgiving day on short notice, she arranged a time to come and meet me and my dog ahead of time and asked great questions. She was communicative, showed up on time, and gave my dog extra care, love, and attention after her walk. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you so much!
