“Dmitra is the best!!! She walks our goldendoodle Griffin twice a week and is really amazing with him! Because of our schedules I usually have to tell her only a day or two in advance which days we need her help each week and she’s always really flexible and great about it! We also have cats that like to try to sneak out of the house, and she’s great about keeping an eye on them to make sure they stay in while she takes Griffin out for his walks. So glad we found her!!!”

About: I've lived with animals pretty much my entire life. I've had two dogs, two rats, a mouse, a ferret, and seven cats total. I often pet sit my friends and families dogs and cats and even guinea pigs and geckos. So while I don't have any trained professional experience in pet care, I do have an abundance of personal experience. I absolutely adore animals so I will do my best to treat yours with as much care as I have. This is my full time job so I will be available for all of my listed services every day of the week from 8 am - 10 pm preferably in day light hours. I am very flexible with my hours so I can prioritize your schedule. While walking your pet I will remain vigilant to ensure its safety. I will follow any rules/instructions given to me such as how/if to interact with other people/animals.
“Ashley walked our dog on Thanksgiving and was flexible with her time. We really appreciate her availability and adaptability. And our dog loves to get an extra walk with her. I recommend Ashley!”
“Alex has been absolutely wonderful! He has been very patient with Finn and allowed him to take his time warming up to him. Alex sends me daily photos which I really appreciate, and has offered to spend more time with Finn outside after noticing that Finn was enjoying it. I plan on continuing to use Alex’s services and highly suggest him!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 9 years old, our house was always the go-to sitters for the neighborhood. I love and care for all animals as if they were my own. From walks to feeding to bath time, I have experience in all areas of pet care. I am currently a full time student in college although I do spend weekends at home. I have no job at the moment and wanted to explore my passion for animals this summer and plan to continue throughout the school year. I have two dogs of my own and two cats at my house so I have experience in different types of pets. We have raised our dogs since pups and trained them so I have experience in all age ranges. I am willing and able to follow the instructions given by the pet parent to care for their pet as best I can.
“Natalie made me feel like I could easily leave town & enjoy myself knowing Ozzy was being well cared for! Not only does she have a great vibe that I picked up on, but Ozzy did as well. She walked him, played with him, & fed him while I was away. I would 100% recommend her services!”
“Ashley was a dog whisperer! She walked my recently adopted adult dog with a traumatic past. Ashley never imposed on my dog’s space and spent time each day making my dog feel safe. By day 3, my dog was greeting her at door and happily walking with confidence. I am so grateful for Ashley and her kind and patient energy. I highly recommend you book her services if you want peace of mind that your dog is being treated with respect by a mindful person.”
About: I love animals, but my roommate is allergic! So I was hoping to get some time in with yours. :) I grew up with long haired weiner dogs in the family. I love playing with my friends’ pets and sometimes bring my parents to my house for a week or so to give them some respite. I like dogs of all sizes and have become familiar with cats in the past few years-taking care of my friend’s two kitties. My schedule is fairly open right now, as I am job searching and attempting to go back to school for a Masters in Social Work! I am happy to go to your home to care for your pets in their environment. I’m unable to keep them in my home for long periods of time, due to my roommate being allergic. I am happy to transport them in my car to & from appointments or trails/parks for some extra exercise!
About: I adore all types of dogs, big or small. Years of experience have taught me that the most important thing is respecting their space and boundaries while making sure they have everything they need. I also believe that it is incredibly important they have an outlet for their energy, so I am willing to play with them for as long as it takes - sometimes fetch has gone on for over an hour. Again, safety is of the utmost importance and I have experience taking care of all sorts of dogs with different temperaments, including some escape artists, who were all safe and sound when their families returned. I'm currently working part-time so I have some incredible flexibility when it comes to taking care of your pups! I'm willing and able to wake up early or stay up late as needed and I can spend plenty of time making sure your pets get all the love and affection they deserve. Your pet's safety is my top priority and while I have experience caring for a variety of animals, including some with serious medical conditions, I believe that their families have the best understanding of what they need. As such, I am happy to work with you to determine the best means of caring for your pet, whether that includes particular leash attachments, the use of indoor gates, external gates. I also have a fenced in backyard for any pets that might end up staying the night.
About: After the recent loss of my beloved Paddy after nearly 13 years, I seeking some weekend furry companions. I will treasure and care for them just as I did mine. I am experienced in caring for puppies through seniors, especially those with special needs. I am comfortable dispensing medications and administering shots if needed. I work full-time Monday through Friday but am free most weekends. I am single with no kids so my schedule on the weekends will be 100% devoted to caring for your furry friend. I live in a spacious 1 bedroom apartment within close proximity to a large dog park and walking trail. If your dog likes exercise, this is the perfect getaway for them! I also have a sizeable balcony that is excellent for relaxing and people watching with guests.

“Diana is a responsible and respectful adult to take care of your pet. Growing up with a family pet has given Diana the skill set required to tend to animals. She is able to handle the duties of walking, feeding, exercising, playing, and loving your animal. She has watched my pets multiple times. I never stress when she is with them because I know they are getting the proper care, love, (and possibly some extra cuddles). You will be thrilled with your decision of choosing Diana to take care of your pet.”

Collin P.
“Collin is the most responsible, independent, timely, and hard working person I have ever worked with. He is quick thinking and quick acting when an problem occurs. He always goes above and beyond for his jobs. I could not recommend someone enough to look after your furbabies. His calm and respectful nature seems to appeal to every animal we have ever come across. He handles the cats he has cat sit for as well as our friends' reactive dog exceptionally well. I am always impressed by his professionality and his ability to connect with the animals he is paid to sit for as well as the ones he randomly meets in public.”
