About: I’ve grown up helping care for my family dog, Cannoli, for the past 10 years, so I’m very familiar with daily pet care routines like feeding, walking, and playtime. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. My schedule is flexible and allows me to dedicate time to pet care. I’m available most mornings and afternoons, as well as some evenings and weekends. I’m happy to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I carefully follow each pet’s routine including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions.
About: I have had experience with dogs of all breeds since I was 16 years old when I worked as a kennel tech! I was also a volunteer at the Human Society and mostly worked in the cat room - spending time and cuddles and cleaning their living area. I know that the care of your pet is the most important thing to feel secure about when going on vacation or out of town. In addition to years of care sitting for both cats and dogs, I volunteered in South Africa and cared for baby baboons! I know your pet is unique and I will follow all instructions given to ensure your peace of mind, your pet’s safety, and will send pictures daily! I transitioned from the corporate world to and now do this full time, so I am flexible and available at all times to keep your pet’s schedule on track! I care and respect your home just as much as I love animals. If I am in your home, I will follow all instructions as given and am happy to send as many pictures as you request during my stay.
“Ron is the best! He is reliable, respectful and trustworthy. We know our dog is in good hands with him every time he comes to walk her. Would recommend Ron without hesitation.”

“I felt at ease having Caleigh walk our brand new baby, Leo. She was communicative and right on time which was important for us with an 8wk old puppy. Will be using again. Thank you!”

“Lorenzo has been an amazing dog walker for my energetic dog! He is reliable, always on time, and I could tell right away how much he truly loves dogs. My dog was always so excited to see him and came back from walks happy and well-exercised. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog walker!”

“Andrew is awesome and has been a huge help with our dog Tuck and is always accommodative of our crazy schedule. He’s reliable, dependable, and our dog (who is sometimes difficult) is always happy to see him.”

“Victoria is wonderful! My place is a bit in the middle of nowhere and she’s the only sitter I could find who was willing to commute here to walk the dogs. I’m taking care of my dad and can’t leave him alone, so it was a huge lifesaver to find her. She sent the cutest videos and pictures. Highly recommend!!”


About: I’ve had both cats and dogs as pets growing up my whole life. I walk dogs for families all around my neighborhood as well as dog/catsit. I love surrounding myself with fur babies of all types:)) I’m a college student with no job because I go back to college first week of July for soccer (no time for a full time job). That being said, I’m home all the time to take care of your animals! I live in a neighborhood filled with dogs! Everyone is always out walking their dogs and all the dogs I’ve cared for love interacting with the other dogs. There’s loads of places for them to do their business and walk!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 6 years old (but would have started earlier if I was allowed!). I am extremely experienced in walking dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments as I grew up volunteering to walk and babysit dogs in my neighborhood and for family and friends. I cared extensively for my family dog who faced many health struggles up until he passed away in 2021 at the age of 15. Just over a year ago, I got and trained a new puppy from the age of seven weeks who lives full time with my parents while I am at school. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time for pet care! My schedule varies week to week, but I am extremely flexible and available! I am extremely attentive and accommodating to all needs. Due to my passion for animals and experience caring for dogs specifically, I am more than capable of prioritizing safety and individual needs depending on the environment and service provided.
About: Hi! My name is Donna, and have loved and cared for dogs ever since I was a kid. I'm comfortable with all dogs, no matter the size or age. From dogs as small as Yorkies, to as big as German Shepherds and Pitbulls. I'm also comfortable and willing to take care of puppies from as young as 8 weeks to above. I used to work at an animal shelter, and was trained basic dog behavior and enrichments that can help stimulate your dog. During my spare time I will volunteer at animal shelters just to help dogs with getting their exercise for the day. Nothing is better than being able to spend time with a dog! I can't wait to meet your best friend :) *I also pet sit cats as well!! if your feline friend needs to be taken care of, I would be more than happy to do so!!* I work remotely and have the availability to drop in on your furry friend when need be, or taking them out for a stimulating walk. I will always make sure that your dog is at their utmost safest when in my care. By making sure their leash/harness/collar is placed well, to always keeping an eye out environmentally wise so their walks are always safe.
