“My dogs loves Murron! She has walked my giant and mini schnauzer a couple of times throughout the week and I will continue to rebook her service. Murron will ACTUALLY walk your dog for at least 30 minutes sometimes more! She doesn’t check in with the walk until she is actually outside with my dogs. I have experienced so many sitters checking in when they are still in their car or sitting in their car for a few minutes to end the walk. Murron is honest and dependable. She also treats and talks to my dogs very sweetly.”
“So glad we found Bridget. Our younger dog has had anxiety about walks beyond our property because he has a high sensitivity to loud noises and today Bridget was able to get him out on a good long walk. Bridget is experienced, has years of experience and my dogs both love her.”
“Samantha is an excellent dogwalker. She’s very knowledgeable about dogs and takes great care of mine. I can rest easily knowing that they’re in good hands. She’s also a very kind person.”
“Ari is awesome!! Great communication and pics. Supportive of special instructions and working with behavior challenges of my reactive pittie. I am sure she had a total blast with Ari. Top notch recommendation for your pet sitting needs!”
“Amazing! Absolutely amazing. Great communication, very trust worthy. Loves animals and is great with my disabled pup. Couldn't have asked for a better sitter/dog walker.”
About: I've been a pet lover since I was a kid. I started with frogs, lizards and snakes, and graduated to cats and dogs. Until I was able to have dogs of my own, I spent over 10 years pet-sitting for friends and family, volunteering in animal shelters, and have even worked in 2 seperate doggy daycares. My MO is always long walks and lots of attention. I have 2 dogs of my own, a cumulative 17 years of pet raising experience. I have experience caring for sick pets and administering medication both orally and subcutaneously. I've had my pups since they were young and would consider them very well trained. If you're looking to work on certain behaviors, I can absolutely work on that during their stay. I have a fenced yard, a safe neighborhood for long walks, and for longer stays, expect your dog to enjoy a nice hike! I mostly work from home, so your dog(s) would never be alone and would have access to my fully fenced backyard whenever they want. During the week, I can do a long walk during my lunch break, and another after work. Weekends I tend to go hiking, so if your pup enjoys nature, they will for sure have a great time. My yard is fully fenced, and I have 2 friendly dogs. Safety is paramount, so dogs would be supervised while in the yard together. If your dog requires a crate, I have both a plastic and soft sided kennel for indoors.
About: I have a deep well of patience, understanding and affection for your pet. When I am interacting with a dog or cat, they recieve my sole and loving attention. I can't wait to meet yours! I am a retired teacher so I have a lot of management skills and am supremely responsible. I am a retired teacher so I have a ton of time. I am moving from managing teen agers to having loving interactions with pets. I am a single woman in my 50's with no pets of my own, so I am very available to care for your animals. Since I have been back in the USA after teaching overseas for years, I have taken care of and house sat for many people who were pleased with my services. I would love to get to know your animals and make them feel safe and secure while you are gone!

About: Hi I’m Erica! I have 20+ years of caring for my own dogs as well as friends and relatives pets. Some who have needed constant care with medication and comfort for anxieties. I’ve had dogs of all ages and sizes and can accommodate any of their specific needs. My Corgi (Weasley) and Aussie (Sam) are both friendly. Weasley is very playful and loves making new friends while Sam can be indifferent to other dogs. They both love having guests and are good at sharing their toys, treats, and our affection. Speaking of affection, your dog will be treated as our own and will be given equal amounts of playtime, pets, kisses, and cuddles. I want your dog to feel safe and happy just as much as I want you to feel safe and happy leaving your loved one with me.

Anytime I reached out to her she quickly accommodated my requests. She perfectly handled my rambunctious puppy with ease and he’s made a friend for life. My older pup immediately took a liking to her. Overall I’m very relieved to have someone so reliable and kind to my boys that I don’t need to stress if something comes up and I need someone to watch them, I’ve found a great and hardworking person that I can rely on.”

She is compassionate, loving and a very happy young lady. She has fun with her animals now. I love how she is patient in training her dog: she speaks to her (Athena) with kindness and love and the love that Athena shows to Bobbie is obvious that she would be a wonderful dog caregiver. I highly recommend Bobbie for this position.”
