2. Megan H.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Megan provided for my dogs! From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional and descriptive in explaining how she would care for them, putting my mind at ease right away. She has such a kind and caring demeanor, and my dogs took to her immediately. Throughout their time with her, I received regular updates that included detailed descriptions of how the dogs were doing, what they were up to, and even photos that showed just how happy and comfortable they were. It was clear she went above and beyond to ensure their needs were met and that they were treated like family. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals were evident in everything she did. I highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for someone who truly goes the extra mile for their pets. I will absolutely be booking her again!”

19. Jasmine H.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and know what they need to be happy and safe when being cared for. Making sure they are fed, walked, and given all the pets are priorities! I am located in the Brewery District so if you need a dog walker in the BD or German Village area, please message me! I have availability throughout the work week to walk your dog as needed. For house sitting, I work remotely Monday - Friday, 8-5pm and can do that from your home while keeping your pup company. I am only available to watch your pet in your home. I make sure they are fed, water readily available, get outside time and playtime to feel good while you’re away. They’ll get the attention they are used to and more!
