“Elena was amazing! I had a request for dog walking which was very short notice. I'd thrown out my back and she was patient with Nemo and took him on a nice walk. She even spent a few extra mins talking to me about some exercises for my back. I'd definitely recommend and book her again.”


“Jackie and Jannalea were very sweet and patient with my dog Ponyo. Ponyo got her walks and they managed to take the same route that I usually do without my prompting! Got photos and updates each time so I knew what was going on. Wouldn't hesitate to book again!”


“Lydia is an amazing dog walker for Hazel, always reliable and caring each Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Hazel adores her, and Lydia’s expertise shines in Hazel's improved walking behavior. Her warm and professional approach gives me complete peace of mind. Highly recommend Lydia for anyone seeking a dependable dog walker!”


About: I have a kind heart to animals, I will treat them like my own. I worked in a veterinary hospital and their safety will always be a priority when they’re with me. I am a stay at home mom, and wanted to keep busy while my energetic daughter is at school. I am reliable and trustworthy. Also, I love taking pictures, you’ll be getting fun, creative pictures during the time you book me. ♥️ I am a clean well organized person and taking care of an animal is just like having a child. My home is safe from anything they can get into, so you wouldn’t have to worry. 🥰

About: I absolutely ❤️ animals and have "always" had pets in my life from the very beginning. I've cared for SO many different animals in my life; such as: dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, fish, etc. Over my adult years, I've cared for friends and family members pets when needed. 5 years back, I took on the responsibility of caring for grandpa's dog due to his increasing illness. Bottom line, I love animals and want them all to get the love and attention that they want and deserve whether from their parent/parents or from myself in the short amount of time they grace us with in this world. I'm currently a freelancer, so I make my own schedule. Thus, I can move things around to better fit the needs of you and your fur babies if needed. Then, I don't travel much and can be there for those who do. Safety is of the utmost importance to me because it's what I'd want for all my babies, weather it's my 2 legged or my 4 legged child. I'd make sure things that may be harmful are always put up and put aways. Before walking, I'd make sure the area is safe and animals are always leashed up for the entire walk.

About: Over the past 12 years, I’ve raised and trained two dogs from just 2 weeks old, giving me hands-on experience in early puppy care and training. I’ve also cared for multiple large-breed dogs in a family home, adapting to different temperaments and routines. Beyond personal care, I’ve rescued several dogs off the street and volunteered at animal shelters—experiences that taught me how to handle a wide range of behaviors with patience and compassion. My deep love for animals and real-world experiences is what I live for. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine right now, as I currently don’t have a job and have open availability. I’m fully available any time from Saturday through Sunday, making it easy for me to accommodate last-minute bookings or extended care needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure the environment is pet-proofed, calm, and secure—free of hazards and full of love. I follow any instructions closely, from feeding routines to preferred walking routes, and always give pets the attention they need to feel safe and happy. I also take time to build trust with each pet so they feel at ease while their owner is away.

“Kate was amazing with my pups. She takes the cutest pictures of them, gives them so much attention and love. The pups warmed up to her immediately and I know they had a great time with Kate”


“Michael was responsive to my texts and emails in a timely manner. He provided photos and updated me on her food and water intake and her bathroom breaks. I would recommend Michael and would use him again.”


“Elissa overall was outstanding. First time using the rover app. I was a little nervous. And not sure how it all worked. Elissa communicated very well. Sent me photos. Will definitely book Elissa again.”


About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was 9 & I begged my mom to buy me one and I had to show how responsible I actually was. I also dog sat for Ringo Starr’s stepson during Christmas time while he went out of town when I was 15. I am currently working part time so I have more than enough time on my hands to hang out with pups! I am usually available upon request as well! I love spending time with fur babies, love going on walks, & also giving them cuddles. I am very responsible so any instructions you may have, I am more than happy to follow them

“Veronica is punctual, pleasant, communicative, and most importantly our Scout loves taking walks with her. Looking forward to more walks with Veronica next week!”


About: Give me a chance to take care of your furry family. I will treat him/her like my own, Spoiled! I will do my best to take care of any special requests that is needed. I do have a flexible accommodating schedule and if possible I would like a meet and greet with my Boston Terrier & Min Pin that live in my home. All dogs have different personalities and want all to be safe. I do have a fenced yard for a safe space for your baby. There are trails that are walking distance and several parks close to my home. But will only sit furry babies 50lbs and under and will need a meet and greet with my Boston terrier & Min Pin, both are neutered.

“Shannon came faithfully and walked my two dogs (even the feisty chihuahua, who can get nippy if rushed)—even in the rain. I think there was some initial miscommunication regarding the walking schedule, but in the end, the dogs were always walked, I always got the walking report, and Shannon regularly communicated her ETA. As a dog mom—my two dogs are like my little babies—I may have left notes that were too detailed, but ultimately everything turned out great.”
