“I can't recommend Sneha enough! From the very first walk, it was clear how much she truly cared about my Bella. She also provided regular updates during their walks, which was greatly appreciated. It’s such a comfort knowing that someone so kind and dedicated is looking after my pup. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for your furry babies, Sneha is the perfect choice!”

5. Alison L.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and there is nothing I love more than playing and caring for your furry family members. I have been on dog sitting apps for over 5 years and I am a trusted and responsible caregiver. I am working remote full time but can be available after 5 every day and throughout the day for potty breaks as needed. I have a car so travel isn’t a worry. I cannot host your pets at mine but I am very responsible and trustworthy and happy to care for pets from their space. They are often more comfortable anyways!


6. Anna K.
“Anna is very good with pets. She loves animals and they love her back. She has done pet sitting in the past and has always done a wonderful job. You would be putting your pet in excellent hands if you pick Anna as your dog walker. She has also very responsible and would send pics to prove how well your pet was doing. I thoroughly recommend her.”

8. Bryan L.
“Bryan is an incredible dog caretaker! I left Rocky in his care for three days, and when I got back, Rocky was happy, energetic, and well-exercised. It was clear he had a great time! Bryan not only took great care of Rocky but also provided friendly and professional service, keeping me updated and making sure I felt at ease the entire time. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog caretaker.”


9. Isabelle L.

“Isabelle is fantastic! I have a very fearful rescue dog and Isabelle is so patient with her. You can tell by the way she interacts with my fur baby that she has a lot of experience with animals. I’m planning to make Isabelle my full dog walker when I have to return to the office. I’m so grateful I found her!”

About: I’ve had pets since I was 5 years old and absolutely adore them. I’ve lived in this area for 3.5 years now and miss having them around!

17. Kimberly P.
About: I’m well-versed in senior pet care, understanding their unique needs and ensuring they stay comfortable and engaged. I also prioritize building strong relationships with both pets and their owners, fostering trust and communication. My attention to detail, combined with a genuine love for animals, ensures that every pet receives the highest level of care tailored to their individual personality and need. I'm available for boarding pets, dog walks, pet sitting at your home, and can do check-ins at your home! I am available for the entire duration that I have your pet with me. In my apartment, I prioritize safety and comfort for pets by creating a secure environment. I ensure all windows and balconies are safely secured, and I keep hazardous items, like cleaning supplies and small objects, out of reach. For my clients, I follow similar principles. I conduct a thorough walk-through of their home to identify any potential hazards and make adjustments as needed. I also establish a routine that includes regular exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep pets happy and engaged. Building trust is crucial, so I communicate openly with pet owners about their pets’ needs and any concerns that arise. I make sure to maintain a clean and comfortable space, providing plenty of fresh water and a cozy spot for rest. Ultimately, my goal is to create a safe, loving environment where pets can thrive.




18. Robin R.

“Robin has been watching my dog for 5 years (both for mid-day walks and long term boarding at her house). When I first adopted a 2 year old 80 lb boxer/ american bulldog mix, he had a history of mistrust of new people and had to learn how to walk on a leash. He was strong and strong-willed but Robin was patient with him and treated him like her own. For years, I wasn't able to really leave him with anyone else other than Robin. He always loved his time with Robin and her family and I could leave for vacation and not worry one bit about him. It was such a relief!”


19. Nicollette J.

“Nikki is super friendly, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. My dog was very comfortable around her almost immediately and seemed to have a great time with her. Would definitely ask her to look after him again!”


20. Kate D.

“Blueberry loves her walks with Kate. Kate works with our girl's quirks on walks and gives her plenty of attention. We appreciated the messages letting us know when she was on the way and of course, appreciate all of the pictures.”
