About: My love for dogs started when I was just 8 years old, when my family welcomed our first dog into our home. Ever since, dogs have been a huge part of my life! As a dog mom myself, I know firsthand that our dogs aren't just pets. They're family. I live every day trying to give my own dog the happiest, healthiest, and most fulfilling life possible, and I would bring that same love, attention, and care to yours. Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors who need a little extra patience and TLC. My experience includes dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight care for dogs belonging to family and friends. Above all, your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your best friend, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I also believe trust goes both ways. It's just as important that your dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy with me as it is that you feel confident leaving them in my care. I've taken my own dog to training classes and understand the importance of patience, positive reinforcement, consistency, and respecting each dog's unique personality and needs. Whether your pup loves walks and adventures, playtime, or simply having someone nearby for companionship and cuddles, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your dog, build a trusting relationship, and give them the same love and care I give my own! ❤️ As a dog mom myself, caring for a dog is already a big part of my everyday life! I love spending time outdoors, going for walks, and making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and companionship they need. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and look forward to making pet care an even bigger part of my routine! Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first! I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I believe every dog is unique, so I take the time to learn about their personality, routines, preferences, and any special needs. Whether we're going for a walk, enjoying playtime, or relaxing at home, I'll always prioritize making your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm especially mindful of maintaining familiar routines, following feeding and medication instructions, using safe walking practices, and respecting each dog's physical abilities and energy levels. Having cared for dogs from puppies to seniors, I understand that some need extra patience, reassurance, or accommodations. When caring for your dog in your home, I'll treat your space with the same respect and care as my own. I'm also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your best friend is in good hands.
“Beth was amazing! She walked our dog every day for a week. She bonded with our dog, who is cautious and was hesitant to walk at first. Beth managed to get her to relax and go on nice walks every day.”
“Makayla responded within minutes of us requesting a last minute walker for Archer. She communicated clearly and then showed up right on time. She gave me a couple of updates during the walk and then a clear summary as to how she left. We definitely recommend her and will be happy to request Makayla again soon!”

Paul takes great care of my two boys. It's a huge peace of mind knowing I have someone I can trust with a 75lb anxious and work in progress Beauceron! He is responsive, leaves great updates on the walk and works to get them the care they need. He even noticed my Beauceron felt calmer eating if the bowl was in a different location. Would absolutely recommend.
I really appreciate Stephen’s patience and persistence in working with our fearful dog this visit. It took time, but he was able to help her feel safe enough to come to him for her walk, and even to be given treats and petted. As always, Stephen was professional and responsive, and as always he went above and beyond to make the visit as successful as possible. We are lucky to have him!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Thorndale. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

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.
