“Connor was super helpful in taking care of my cat while I was away. She had a couple accidents that he dealt with and was very accommodating. He was very fast to reply and easy to communicate with.”

“Piper is one of the best in the dog walking business. She took so much time with Buster, even putting his little hoodie on him so he wouldn’t get cold. Highly recommended!!”

“Really sweet, my dog isn't really the type to let a stranger take her away from me but she went slow and let mika control his fast things went. I'm in hospital and can't walk and the charge nurse had told me the nurses couldn't feed and water her and I couldn't get out of bed so the fact that she was here to help in like an hour really meant alot For sure book her, especially if the baby has a little attitude when it comes to if she will go off with a stranger lol”

“She was amazing she kept us updated with our dog. Great communication. As well as very flexible. Would definitely recommend and use again to watch our dog”

“Leanne is fantastic! Super consistent, reliable and kind. She also kept her eating area and litter area spotless. I would absolutely have her take care of my little girl again, and I highly recommend!”


“Erin was a fantastic rover! Before my trip, she was flexible on timing to come over and meet my pet / learn his routine, and was extremely communicative during my time away! I got meaningful updates every visit and felt like my pet was in very capable hands🙂”

“Alexandria was great! She took such good care of Luna and was so proactive about making sure her needs were met and she felt loved while I was gone! I would definitely recommend her!! I felt like my cat was in great hands.”

“Isabel was amazing! She let Remy out twice while we were at work and he loved it—she sent plenty of pics and even worked with us when we had some gate issues! Will be reaching back out to her!!”


About: Pets have always been a central part of my life. I grew up with dogs and have cared for them over the years, and I’ve had cats my whole life. I know how to read their behavior, keep routines consistent, and make sure your pet feels at ease whether you’re gone for a few hours or a few days. I work full time but I have plenty of flexibility to take care of your pet! I go into the office 3 times a week but I am off work by 3:30pm. I can do early mornings, late nights and weekends! I come to your home, so your pet gets to stay exactly where they’re most comfortable — in their own space, with their own smells, routines, and hiding spots. I follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, litter box preferences, or which spots are off-limits. I’ll always send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Alex was great! She did a video call to prepare for checking in my dogs all week. She is really organized and on top of things. She did a great job with our dogs!”


About: I’m an experienced dog owner with three dogs of my own, one Australian Shepherd and two Shelties, all girls. My oldest is 9, and we have been hiking and training together since she was a puppy. I take my dogs on daily walks, and they have joined me on hikes all across the United States. They love being active and spending time outdoors just like I do. All of my dogs are leash trained and off leash trained, and I am comfortable walking multiple dogs at once with experience handling up to six dogs at a time. I work from home Monday through Friday and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide walks and potty breaks throughout the day. I take my own dogs on walks during my lunch break and again after I finish work at 4 PM, and I would love to have more pups join us on our daily adventures. I live in Germantown in a home with a fully fenced backyard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for dogs to play and relax. I work from home, so your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys walks, playtime, or just lounging around, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while staying with me. My home is very dog-friendly, and I treat every dog like part of the family.

About: I have a lot of experience with animals of all kinds! I have worked at 2 shelters over the course of 5 years, walking dogs of all sizes and taking care of cats as well. I also learned basic medical care of animals, such as giving medications. I’m currently a PhD student on a brief leave, so I am free to walk or care for your pets during the day while you are away. Safety and comfortability of the animal is of the utmost importance to me. I love to get to know animals well, and learn how to cater to their needs!
“We are repeat customers and always feel great leaving our senior cat in Amy’s care. She’s very reliable, goes above and beyond, and gives our boy the extra attention he needs with twice daily insulin shots.”

About: I have been a pet owner and responsible for taking care of different types of dogs since I was 11 years old. This includes animals in my home, family, and friends. One of my childhood dogs had diabetes and would require insulin shots at an exact time twice a day. Therefore, I have experience assisting and caring for medical needs. Additionally, if there are any members in the household who prefer American Sign Language as their primary language, I am fluent and am happy to converse using it. I am currently a special education teacher on summer break, so I will have plenty of time to pop in/look after and walk your furry friend(s). There is a dog park provided within my apartment complex as well as walkable parks and trails less than a mile away from the apartment complex.
“Isabelle was amazing. I she was very patient with me in explaining and figuring out our system/property which can be very overwhelming. We even had an escapee that she took care of very well. I will definitely have her back(if she’ll take us 😆)”

“Cara was awesome and was able to help us out in a pinch with less than 24 hour notice!!! She was great with our pup - will absolutely book with her again when the need arises !”

Alexandra was great with my cat Musty while I was away! She sent photos and updates after each check in and it was clear Musty was getting lots of attention and care. I came home to a happy cat and everything exactly as I left it. Communication was great and I really appreciated how reliable Alexandra was. I’d definitely book with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!

Gracie was amazing with our pups! She gave them plenty of playtime and was very attentive to detail during our meet and greet to make sure she would best care for our pups. She sent us plenty of personality pics of our fur babies during her visit and provided details on potty breaks and their walk together so I felt at ease know my pups were well taken care of while I was at work!

Abbe is the best! My senior dogs love her. She follows all instructions well, goes the extra mile to make sure they pee and poop! Send lots of photos showing me the love she is giving them and you can see by the looks in their eyes that they love her right back. Highly recommend.

Alex was great with my kitty! He had been having urinary issues and I felt much better knowing she has experience with this. She sent very detailed reports on her visits and made sure to keep my kitty entertained. I also appreciated her photos! Would definitely recommend!
