“Linda was amazing with Lucy our cocker spaniel. Lucy is 11 y/o and has a beautiful personality but has a tough time adjusting to new people and new situations. Linda was so patient and she soon won over Lucy's trust. We are so grateful for the care and attention she gave to Lucy in being there for her when we were away. Lucy is not used to us (my wife and I) being away and it was hard for us to leave her for an extended weekend. Linda did things we never expected such as washing up her bed after she had an accident on it, and made her feel safe and cozy with a little blanket since her bed hadn't dried yet. These small details really meant a lot to us and showed us how caring she is. We recommend Linda to anyone looking for a wonderful caring dog walker!”

“Sarah treated our dogs like they were her own - and we have one who doesn’t warm up to just anyone. He is picky. She was on time and very kind - we can definitely recommend!”

“We have world with Joyce for quite some time and Boomer loves her. She has a calm spirit, is punctual, knowledgeable about dogs, is flexible and allows this dog mom peace knowing Boomer is loved and well taken care of. We have used weekly for walks and periodically for home visits when gone for a weekend. Highly recommend🩷”

“Amy was wonderful on such short notice she gave my babies the enrichment they needed. She is very trustworthy, great with communication, and is very kind. Will definitely book again in the future. Thank you so much again!”

About: I have grown up around pets my entire life, owning multiple dogs, from a range of small to large size dogs. I have a very flexible schedule with an easy to accommodate home. Nice neighborhood for walks! Would be more than happy to take care of your pet and host them whenever needed. I am a very open person who is more than willing to accommodate any person’a needs or requests! I work a flexible schedule and make pet care part of my daily routine. Pets will get regular potty breaks, walks, feeding times, play sessions, and attention throughout the day. I can provide updates, photos, and consistent care to help pets feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where safety comes first. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, and exercise needs. I always supervise pets, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free in my care or in a client’s home

“Capone loved his walk with Sarah! She arrived on time and Capone was tired and happy when he returned. :) That's exactly what we are looking for, for our dog to be too tired to miss us, and get an active break outside during our workday! Thank you Sarah!”

About: My husband and I grew up with dogs in our homes and we love having them around. We want to share that love with your special family member as if they were ours. We live in a house with a fenced backyard that they can run around in. We also have two small kids who love animals and playing with them. We have a crate if needed to help make your dog feel at home as much as possible. I also am a stay at home mom so I will be able to let your dog out when needed and take them on walks. Our past dog had health issues so we have experience what xith administering medications and have a near by vet if needed. We will provide daily updates on your pup so you can be worry free.
“Amber was great. She replied to my walking request promptly, arrived on time, and followed all my instructions. Amber was also very personable, and it is evident she loves animals and takes great care of them. By the photos she sent I could tell my Bubs was having a great time! Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, my name is Kim and I am prior military. I have worked in veterinary clinics in the past for 6 years before I changed careers and would really love the chance to take care of your baby while you’re away! If you have any questions in particular please feel free to contact me! I am available most days of the week and weekends. I have worked with dogs for over 10 years and can read them very well. I have patience with puppies and I also have experience with senior and special needs dogs to include administering medications by mouth or subcutaneously. I have pets of my own, I let them out every morning and we play while outside with my kids. If I can, or if requested, I will walk them after work. I currently do not have dogs of my own and I have a fenced yard. Dogs will not be left in the yard unattended and the neighborhood is great for walking around. I temperament check all dogs I pet sit before booking.
“She went out of her way to walk both of my dogs. One of whom is super hyper and loves to talk. She let them run at a local dog park and tired them out. The dogs love her and she has excellent communication and can provide same day help.”

“Jaimie was fantastic! Supper attentive to my dog Maverick, especially since he is on specific precautions after his TPLO surgery. She was super responsive and was so good with him, would definitely recommend!!”


About: Dogs are a huge part of my daily life. I have a multi-dog household and experience caring for dogs of different ages, including a senior dog. So, I understand how different personalities, energy levels, and needs can vary. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just snuggles, I tailer care to what makes them happiest. I'm especially comfortable with energetic dogs and maintaining structure so they feel calm, balanced, and secure. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe and loved. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a veteran who spends most of my time at home, I'm able to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding schedules, and companionship throughout the day. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. It brings a sense of purpose and calm to my routine. Because of that, I'm very present, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and routine. In my home, I provide a calm, structured environment with regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of attention. I'm home often, so pets are rarely left alone and get consistent care and companionship. In a client's home, I focus on maintaining your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, whether that's feeding times, walks, play, or quiet time. I'm respectful of your home and always aim to keep your pet comfortable, relaxed, and stress-free while you're away. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and comfort, and I'm experienced with both high-energy dogs and senior pets who may need a slower pace and extra care.

About: Hi! I’m currently a fourth-year veterinary student with years of hands-on experience caring for animals in a variety of settings. I’ve had pets of my own since I was young and have cared for family, friends’, and clients’ pets over the years. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities, including puppies, senior pets, and pets that thrive with consistency and extra attention. I prioritize communication and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away. My goal is simple: to provide safe, dependable, and loving care so your pet feels comfortable and your mind feels at ease. I currently have a flexible summer schedule and plan my bookings carefully so each pet receives attentive care. I’m available throughout the week and will communicate clearly about availability and visit timing to make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent. In my client’s home, I follow the routines and instructions provided by the owner to keep pets comfortable and safe. Outdoors, pets remain leashed unless in a secure, owner-approved fenced area. I prioritize supervision, consistency, and creating a low-stress environment while respecting your pet’s normal routine.
“Kylie was awesome with our two big pups! Kylie updated us and was very attentive to our goldens. Loved getting the pics, they looked extremely happy and comfortable with her. Will definitely be reaching out to Kylie more in the future!”

“She is so wonderful to my boy, treats him like her own and takes good care to tire him out on walks. He always looks like he is having so much fun with her and I am always relieved he is being taken care of when I’m at work”

About: I have taken care of dogs and a wolf hybrid breed for the last ten years. My background is mostly helping with furr children with difficult behaviors. I work full time during the week but love walking/hiking on the weekends. I need a buddy to go with! Parks are my favorite location! I am an attentive care giver and treat them as my own. I absolutely love animals and look forward to visiting with any/all animals of all kinds!

Responsive, professional, and reliable! Joyce is all we could have hoped for when we began our search for a weekly dog walker for our puppy. We particularly appreciated her willingness to learn our training approach so things remain consistent for him. Highly recommend Joyce as a caretaker for your pup.

Coal is a natural with animals. He has been filling in for my regular dog walker for the last month. He is personable, knowledgable and best of all my lab loved him. He responded quickly to requests or texts and kept me notified as well. Would highly recommend him.
