“Could not be happier with the attention and care Thomas gave my pup. It was great to come home and find the pup napping after mid-day human interaction and a great walk. Will use Thomas again when work makes a midday walk impossible or I go out of town. Highly recommend!”
7. Jamianne P.
About: I have always loved animals and been around them most of my life. I have taken a basic training course for dogs and previously owned them and currently own cats. I am well versed in giving oral medication to both dogs and cats. I love talking puppies of any age for a walk, long or short and know how to work on leash training. I've worked with senior dogs and know how to give meds. I would love to look after your sweet pet(s) when you are unable to. I work from home so I am able to work around your schedule to take care of your loved ones. I can do short distance travel as needed. I will follow all the clients directions on how they would like their pet cared for in their home. I am available for check-ins for any sort of animal you may have and dog walks. I love to spend time cuddling or giving scratches, playing fetch or chase, or just spending time so your fur baby isn't lonely.

“We just met Miss Emilia this week, but she has been wonderful, attentive to my dog and his needs and very helpful. I totally recommend her to anyone who wants a fun, sweet, and professional walker to take care of their dogs. She is great. ! Sometimes my dog can be a challenge, but she rolled with his issues and really cared well for him, being sensitive to him and super loving towards him. We are very happy to have Miss Emilia come and walk with him anytime. !”

18. Michael W.
About: Hi! My name is Emm! I am a queer and queer-friendly person and active in my community. I have taken care of animals since I was 8. I raised puppies, walked massive dobermans, and at one point took care of 13 dogs at once! Feeding, watering, cleaning up after, walking, and loving your pet like you would are my top priorities. I lived with my father after becoming an adult and took care of his cat. Animals of all kinds are fine by me! I'm available at any time! When I am not working, I spend my time with my partner, listen to music, and practice my culinary skills. If I stay at your home, I will respect your pets and your things like you're my family. Your pets will be pampered and well cared for. I'll take great care of them, and give them plenty of love and attention.
19. Katherine P.
“Katherine is such a great pet sitter! She loves spending time with our dogs and they love her so much. She does plenty of walks and play sessions with our higher energy dog and regular cuddle sessions with our couch potato. She’s also great with their meds and handling their special needs as older dogs. She’s super responsible and kind. Your pets will love her!”
20. Jada A.
