She is great with Leo, very loving, patient, friendly. I recommend anyone looking for a walker, choose Jenniffer she’s the best!. Leo still finds himself looking out, and waiting for her to come and walk him. I will definitely be using Jenniffer again.

Dawn has gone above and beyond for my husky. He’s stubborn playful and strong but she’s really handled him with grace since the very beginning. Whereas passed help has not been so kind. She really cares about the dogs needs and will correct him if he’s doing something bad. She also always sends pics/ videos and a great recap note of the visit. We will definitely be using her in the future again !

About: Hi, I’m Lauren! I was a proud dog mom to two amazing girl dogs until recently, and I truly miss the joy of caring for a dog. While my family isn’t ready to have another of our own just yet, I’d love to help others by spending time with their furry family members. When I was young, I worked as a Seeing Eye Dog trainer, which gave me years of experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable with everything from playful puppies to older companions who just want a calm walk and a cuddle. Whether you need drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pup feels loved, safe, and right at home while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule. Typcailly I work from home on Wednesdays and always Fridays. On the work from home days, I don't start until 10AM so I am free in the mornings and will take my lunch for the afternoon walks. In our home, we have an enclosed deck. Gate if needed to avoid the stairs. Nothing on the ground to chew. Pet free home. In other homes, I am always wondering where the pup is. I ensure to keep a close eye if they tend to be a trouble maker.

About: As a lifelong pet owner with years of hands-on experience, I know how much your furry family members mean to you. I specialize in creating a calm, loving environment, especially for dogs and cats who get a little nervous or anxious. Whether it's a leisurely walk or a cozy day of companionship, your pet will feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I treat every animal like my own, because that's the only way I know how I currently do not work and I would like to use this time to bond with pets and make lasting connections. I enjoy this type of activity and should be open most days of the week. I am meticulous and always follow all directions. I have gotten some pretty thorough briefings on pets before and then glowing reviews afterward. Pets feel safe and comfortable with me and I’m happy to provide extra reassurances to the pet parents as well.

Christina has been absolutely fabulous. She is super responsive and extremely responsible but more than anything she’s great with my fur baby. It’s incredible that she is able to sense my dogs energy from just interacting with him. Overall Christina has been just so helpful and provides us with a peace of mind when we’re not home.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and two years ago I worked with a dog-sitting company—a truly rewarding experience. I love being surrounded by these four-legged friends, and I have a natural ability to communicate with them. I am currently off for the summer, but starting in September, I will be mostly available after 4:00 p.m. on weekdays and throughout the weekends. In my home, I focus on creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for every pet. We’ve recently added a secure fence to our extra-large backyard so visiting pups now have a spacious, supervised play area to run, explore, and burn off energy. In addition, I make sure dogs stay active and engaged with daily walks around the neighborhood, tailored to their age and energy level. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and walks—so they feel comfortable and cared for in their familiar space. My goal is always to provide consistency, safety, and lots of loving attention, whether I’m hosting your pet or caring for them in your home.

About: Hello, I'm Lisa. For my entire life, I have lived with and cared for pets of all ages, life stages, and diverse needs. I specialize in providing meticulous, high-level care that prioritizes both the physical safety and emotional comfort of your animals. Whether assisting senior dogs with mobility challenges, maintaining precise puppy routines, or navigating complex medical requirements, I treat every pet with the gentle, respectful care they deserve. I pride myself on being patient, highly observant, and adaptive to each pet's unique personality. If you are looking for a reliable, responsible professional who puts your pet's total well-being first, I would love to connect for a Meet & Greet! From the Corporate Ladder to the Dog Park! After 20 years in the fast-paced world of market research, I decided it was finally time to trade the corporate rat race for something far more rewarding: the puppy race (and the kitty cuddle). With my kids raised and my spreadsheets officially closed, I am channeling two decades of project management, laser-focused observation, and high-level problem-solving into a new daily routine—one completely dedicated to the happiness and well-being of your pets. My schedule is no longer ruled by corporate deadlines, which means I have the flexibility, energy, and time to give your canine and feline friends my undivided attention. My daily routine is built around consistency and care: - Morning Brisk Walks & Fresh Air: Perfect for high-energy pups who need a great start to their day. - Mid-Day Check-Ins & Routine Maintenance: Keeping puppies on track, administering timed medications, and ensuring seniors get the gentle care and mobility assistance they need. - Afternoon Feline Focus: Dedicated quiet time for litter box maintenance, precise feeding, and earning the trust of your cats on their own terms. I’ve traded analyzing consumer behavior for interpreting tail wags and cat purrs—and honestly, the data says this is going to be my best chapter yet. I am fully available, entirely flexible, and ready for this adventure! Your Peace of Mind is My Priority! Bringing someone new into your home or trusting them with your furry family member is a big deal - I get it. My 20 years in a detail-oriented corporate environment means "good enough" isn't in my vocabulary. Whether I am caring for your pets under my roof or yours, I treat safety as a non-negotiable metric and your home with the utmost respect. In Your Home: Respect, Security & Seamless Routines When I visit your home, my goal is to leave it exactly as I found it and ensure your pet’s routine doesn't skip a beat. - Bulletproof Security: I double-check locks, secure gates, and follow your precise instructions for alarms and key handling. - Meticulous Environmental Checks: I keep an eye out for hidden hazards (like loose cords or dropped food) and ensure water bowls are pristine and litter boxes are spotless. - Respecting the Sanctuary: Your home is your sanctuary. I operate with total discretion, cleanliness, and respect for your space. In My Home: A Safe, Cozy Haven When your pet stays with me, they aren't just guest-starring in my week... they are part of the family. - The "Empty Nest" Advantage: With my kids grown, my home is a calm, predictable, and predictable environment. There are no chaotic schedules or unexpected guests, just a space dedicated entirely to pet comfort and security. - The Best of Both Worlds (Play & Peace): I have a large, fully fenced-in yard perfect for burning off energy and exploring safely. - Built-in Buddies or Solo Space: Your pup can socialize and play with my two friendly resident dogs. However, if your pet prefers their own space or needs a quiet nap, I have a dedicated separate room where they can rest, recharge, and enjoy some peaceful time away from the pack. - Constant Supervision: Because this is my full-time focus, your pet receives dedicated, watchful supervision, plenty of companionship, and immediate attention to their emotional and physical needs. The Bottom Line on Trust I am fully committed to open communication. You will receive regular, detailed updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I manage safety with a professional eye and deliver care with a mother's heart.

Today was Kevin's first official walk for Baci .... it went great. Baci felt very comfortable with Kevin. Kevin was right at ease with Baci as well .... Kevin understood Baci's personality and idiosyncrasies so I know in the future that Baci will be fine. I will certainly use Kevin again. Great young man - always on time and super chill.
