“Moo loves her Janelle SO much! We always love booking with Janelle- she is super sweet, and always accommodating! She also takes the best pictures of our Moo Moo that make us so happy to see when we are away!”
“I could say I am happy with Cynthia... but I can't. I can't because it's more correct to say I am ECSTATIC! She has been walking Cowboy about 2 months now. Her love of animals and caring manner is wonderful. Not only is she, of course, trustworthy, she is always punctual, her communication skills are excellent and I can depend on her for everything.”
“Anna did an amazing job with our senior dog. She sent daily pictures and updates and It was so nice not to have to worry about anything while we were away. Thanks so much, Anna! I will be in touch for when we go out of town next. Thanks for the sweet plant and card as well. You are the best!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl.

About: What sets me apart is my experience handling multiple pets at once while still making sure each one gets individual attention and care. I’ve cared for several dogs and cats together in the same household, so I’m comfortable managing different routines, personalities, and energy levels. I have experience with young dogs and understand the patience and consistency they need. I’m happy to help reinforce basic training like leash manners, sit, stay, and good behavior during walks and feeding time. I also genuinely love going on long walks, so high-energy dogs get the exercise and mental stimulation they need, not just a quick potty break. Above all, I focus on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable by sticking to their routines and treating them like they’re my own. I am currently working part-time gigs after moving cross country in mid-2025 and have a very flexible schedule. I am able to make many times work and am able to sleep over or drop in as needed. I make sure to prioritize safety by anticipating potential dangers. My past experience as a daycare teacher has given me eyes on the back of my head and readiness for issues or safety concerns. I make sure spaces remain safe and comfortable for your pet and respect your guidelines and routines.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and attention I give to every pet. I truly see dogs as members of the family and treat them with the same kindness, patience, and respect that I would give my own loved ones. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routines, and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I also have experience teaching basic puppy commands such as sit, shake, and lie down, and I enjoy helping reinforce good habits through positive encouragement and consistency. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy during their stay. As someone who is usually home, I have a wide schedule and would be able to care for pets often, unless I have anything planned ahead which I would make sure to let pet parents know. When caring for pets in my home, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Your pets will always have access to fresh water, be fed according to their normal schedule, and receive plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I generally keep pets indoors unless the owner specifies that their pet is accustomed to spending time outdoors. Even then, I prefer to keep pets indoors at night to ensure they stay safe, comfortable, and protected from the cold. I provide regular exercise and walks, typically 3–4 times per day depending on the pet’s age, energy level, and needs. I understand that every pet is a beloved member of the family, and I will treat yours as if they were my own, providing attentive care and ensuring they feel loved, secure, and well cared for throughout their stay.

Denise has been amazing with Stella and Milo. They have lots of energy and she has been great to adapt to their own unique personalities. Stella is 9 1/2yo and started limping one night and she let me know right away sending me videos and pictures. She always sends great updates and pictures which makes my shifts so much better!

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
