“We loved Tonja and her family. Leaving our dog, Moe with them was so easy and I had absolutely no worries the whole time gone on vacation. Moe became part of their family from sun bathing and swimming to sleeping! Pictures and communication from Tonja was amazing. Moe Loved the family and so do we. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Moe. We will definitely be back!!!”
“My 2 dogs love Kimberly”
“Not going to lie, we were nervous leaving our pup with a stranger, but we felt at ease right away. Mark has such a calm demeanor and knows what he is doing. There is another pup he cares for and they play well together, which is great for socializing. If I check in, he responds very quickly and sends us a picture or two. He knows about nervous parents.☺️”
“Diane was absolutely amazing! She obviously loves animals and understands both pets and pet parents! I feel confident that she took great care of my baby. I would 100% book with her again!”
“Christy was great with our pitbull! She can be a handful and doesn’t like other dogs but Christy was so flexible and it was so good to know that she was well taken care of while we were out of town. We would definitely choose her again!”
“Katie and the family were absolutely wonderful. They treated Nisha like she was one of the family and loved on her so well. We will definitely be using their services again. Thanks so much guys.”
About: My boyfriend and I have always had animals in our lives. Growing up he lived on a farm with dogs, cats, goats, pigs etc. and I have had dogs and cats my whole life. We currently have 2 beautiful Great Danes, a bunch of rabbits, outside kitties, and a chinchilla! Our dogs love people, small animals, and would love a bigger dog to run around with. We would love to cuddle with your fur babies, go for walks, or just play in the fenced yard! We currently work 4 days a week leaving Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday to watch and care for your animals. My boyfriend is an early riser and I’m a night owl, so you’re pet will have plenty of time to get the care they need. We have a 2 story house with lots of room for them to lay around and have their own space if needed. We also have a large backyard that is fenced off already for our dogs.
About: I treat every dog like they’re my own—spoiled, snuggled, and talked to like they understand English perfectly (which, let’s be honest, they probably do). Dogs have always been a big part of my life—I’ve grown up around them, lived with them, and loved every slobbery kiss and wagging tail, no matter the breed! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule—I work 7am to 3pm on week days, so I’m free for evening walks and full-time weekend pet sitting. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of space to run and play. We currently have three dogs that will be able to keep your pup company and to play with.
“I would highly recommend Yamila. Yamila and her partner, Brandon are absolute angels. They are great people and so so kind. Not only did they take great care of my dog, Zena, and helped calm her down in the thunderstorm season, they were super accommodating and worked with me to arrange Zena’s drop-off and pick-up times. Yamila is a great communicator and very responsive. My flight was delayed and she was in constant communication with me to have Zena picked up late at night. If you are looking for a sitter, definitely book with Yamila.”
“Sierra took care of my 2 German Shepherds for 4 days. They had a great time playing with other dogs and even got to go fishing. Highly recommend”

About: Hello! I am so excited to connect with + walk your dog! I have experience dog walking + sitting. Last year I went to Bali and dog sat for a wonderful couple and I have volunteered at the Humane Society numerous times! There, I got the chance to walk many different breeds of dogs, big and small.

Your dog and I will have a wonderful experience walking together! I am very grateful to be able to offer this service.
