“Anne was fantastic! She helped us out last minute when a relative went in the hospital and needed care for his dog. She is so kind and the pup loved her. We will for sure use Anne again!!”

“Bree has been great with Mochi! She is on time, communicative, and patient- learning to use Mochi's e-collar and dominant dog collar. She is also understanding of my anxiety around Mo's selective aggression in our extremely dog-friendly apartment complex. She is super vigilant about other dogs, and attentive to environmental risks on walks. Her attentiveness puts me at ease, and I would recommend her without reservation.”

About: What sets me apart is the calm, one-on-one care I provide. I work from home full-time and only accept one dog at a time, so your pup gets my full attention — never a crowded or chaotic environment. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience with puppies, seniors, and administering medication. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to keeping your dog comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I truly treat every dog like my own. Because I work from home full-time, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. Your dog will have consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day, not just before and after work. Being home allows me to give each pup the companionship, structure, and care they deserve. In my home, I provide a calm, structured, one-dog-at-a-time environment so your pet receives individualized attention. I follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medication (if needed), and preferred sleep arrangements. Because I work from home, your dog will have consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day.
“Andrea is doing wonderfully with our dog Bear. Bears a little shy around new people but she took right to Andrea and is excited every time she comes to our home. Andrea is also incredibly flexible and a joy to work with. Highly recommend.”

About: I've grown up around dogs and have cared for them my entire life, giving me hands on experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments.

I am skilled in administering oral medications, comfortable with crate training and leash manners, and knowledgable in calming techniques to help ease anxious pups.

Nathan is the exact person you wanted taking care of your pets. He would take little Nathan out for us everyday at lunch time and my dog looked forward to his daily trips with one of his best buds. He always treated Nathan kindly and I never had to worry about anything. Not only was he professional but he became a crucial part of our day to day. I’d gladly take his services any day. 10/10 walker. 1000/10 person!

AnneMarie was great from the moment we met her. She was punctual and treated our pet Santana as if he were her very own. She sent photos of her walk with Santana and made us feel that he was in good hands. I definitely will be using her again as AnneMarie has a pleasant personality. I highly recommend her…
