About: I’ve always been obsessed with dogs. I grew up with 2. I say hi to every dog I see. I also love cats, especially ones you love to be pet. I’m just an all around dog lover! I am currently open to anything right now! I’d prefer more weekday work though over weekends but will always consider it. Walks, potty breaks, or anything in between! I help walk my roommate’s two dogs. I make sure their water is full and sometimes feed them. I let the puppy out in the backyard and play. Lots of catch involved between both dogs.

“Marcia is an excellent dog walker. She arrived on time, provided Cookie a thorough walk, and wrote a detailed summary of the visit. She is very knowledgeable and clearly loves dogs. I hope to use her services again in the future.”

“Corinne was great with our boxer pup. She was very communicative and kept us updated with pictures. We felt at ease having to leave our dog for the day. I’ll definitely use her services in the future if needed.”


About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 10 Years old. Since then, I have owned 3 German shepherds and have dog sat, walked and trained before. So I have experience in all aspects! I work about 4-6 hours a day Monday through Saturday so I have majority of the day to walk and play with pups anytime in the late morning through evening! Depending on the home, I can take the pets out on a leash, or play with them in the backyard depending on their energy and how playful they are!
“Skyler is a great dog caretaker! She brings great energy to her job and the dogs love her positive nature. I have 2 dogs and Skyler is able to walk them both and understands their needs. She pays attention to the care instructions to make sure she is providing the optimal experience. She is a strong communicator being both responsive to requests and proactively sharing pictures and status along the way.”

“Nic and his wife Carmen were great on their walk with Scuba. He’s a young and mouthy puppy and tries to eat everything during walks. They handled him with care and he seems to have enjoyed his walk. I’d recommend them!”

“Manasa is amazing with our pups. From weekly walks to overnight care, she continually sees they are well cared for and happy. We completely trust her and she’s amazing with both small and larger dogs ( we have both!)”


About: I’ve been taking care of my family’s dog since I was 10 years old and have helped out with friends and neighbors dogs! I currently own a black lab so I am comfortable with medium to larger sized dogs. I am currently working part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and lots of time to take care of your pets! I am available most week days after 2 PM! As an owner of a black lab I am patient with all animals and will make sure they feel comfortable and are safe while they are in my care

“Sofia has been great with my dog. She’s been extremely patient even when my dog has been fussy. It only took a couple of walks before she warmed up to her. Definitely want to thank Sofia for everything and I know Katie is looking forward to future walks!”

“Jillian is wonderful! She communicates with us clearly, arrives on time, and is super friendly. Our Ladybug is not the easiest dog to walk, but Jillian has been incredibly patient with her. Ladybug adores her and gets excited as soon as Jillian arrives. We are very happy with Jillian's service and would definitely book her again :)”

“Carley is amazing! My dog loves her. She is very professional, always on-time, and has great communication. I will be booking with her again in the future. I highly recommend Carley to care for your pet.”


About: I have been a dog and cat sitting going on 5 years now. With 5 consistent families I catsit and dogsit for I make it my mission to make the babies and their parents feel safe, comfortable, and confident having me care for their loved one and in their home. I have my own kitty at home and have history with caring for both cats and dogs. I provide services walking and pet sitting. I am currently self employed so my days are very flexible. When I am working it is either at my store from 8-3 or at home. When pet sitting I adjust my schedule to your pet’s eating and bathroom schedule to assure that when they are with me that they are top priority. When I am pet sitting in a client’s home, I want their fur baby to feel familiar, comfortable, and safe in their own home. I always like to know their favorite hiding spots, favorite toys, and personality characteristics to assure I can make them feel safe and sound while their owner is away. Once my stay is over I always assure to leave everything better than I found it - taking out the trash, washing dishes, washing towels, sweeping, etc. to assure the owner comes home to a clean and tidy space so they can focus on relaxing with their pet when they come home :)!

Amazing dog walker! She was reliable, professional, and took great care of my dogs. They absolutely loved her and were always excited to see her. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. I would hire her again anytime and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker!

Claire has been wonderful to work with! She came by the day before for a site visit to meet my dog, which I really appreciated. She took the time to ask thoughtful questions, learn about my dog’s routine, and make sure she understood his needs. Communication has been excellent from the start, and she’s been incredibly flexible and accommodating. Her professionalism and attention to detail gave me peace of mind, and I feel confident knowing my dog will be in great hands. I’m looking forward to using her dog walking services and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. Thanks, Claire! 🐾😊

We never expected to have such a responsible and timely dog walker by the name of Daniel. We had no prior experience in this. From the initial meeting-interview, we felt very comfortable and confident in him. Daniel was very responsible and punctual, gave us detailed, hands-on updates, and most importantly, our dog loved him. We look forward to hiring Daniel every time we go away. We would strongly recommend Daniel to others.
