“Sunshine was amazing! Very communicative and our (shy) cat felt safe within the first day. Super grateful to have found someone to sit when I’m away!”
“Dana was so great to work with. My pup instantly loved her during the meet and greet. I had her drop in to let him out for a potty break mid day. He really appreciated the break and attention from her. Will definitely reach out again in the future.”
“Absolutely 5 stars for Tyler! From start to finish, communication was fantastic—super responsive with tons of photo updates and thoughtful check-ins.

About: Hello, I have over 14 years of experience with dogs, cats and birds. Most of my work has been with dogs who have disabilities such as dementia, arthritis etc. I work remotely full time allowing me to spend all day with my fluffy friends. Given this wonderful circumstance I am happy to relieve those parents who are going back to the office and worried about leaving their loved ones home alone for too long. I have a fenced back yard and garden in my front yard that pets can enjoy. I own one dog. He is a senior who loves his rest and enjoys proximity to younger dogs.

About: I have lived with and cared for dogs my whole life. Our family dog passed a year ago and caring for my son’s dog has made me realize how much I love having dogs around.

Your furry friend will love the fresh air. The yard is a partially shaded space with grass.

“I can’t say enough good things about Trish as our dog walker! From the very first time she met our dog, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. Trish’s nurturing nature and kindness shine through in every interaction. She always takes the time to connect with our pup and ensures they feel comfortable and happy during their walks. Not only is she incredibly caring, but she’s also highly professional, always showing up on time and providing updates with photos and notes after each walk. I can tell that our dog looks forward to their time with Trish, and it brings me peace of mind knowing they’re in such great hands. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a dependable, kind, and thoughtful dog walker!”

“Hi! My husband and I have been Olivias neighbor since she was in middle school. A lot has changed since then, but her love for dogs, specifically ours has never faded. Olivia shows great connections with people and animals, and If she’s the one looking after her pet, you are in great hands. Our house has been a zoo at times, Olivia has taken care of our cat, two dogs and bird all at once and still somehow managed to balance class, extracurriculars and her job at a bakery in town. Not only will she love your pets but your pets will love her too”
