“I can tell she cares for my dog the way I do when I’m not around! I am so thankful to have found someone that I can fully trust with my pup and with my home. When I leave my house I tell my dog “Virginia is going to come” and he gets so excited and looks out the window to wait for her. She deserves the best review, but I don’t want to share her! She truly is the best and we appreciate her so much!”
“Tammy has done a wonderful job taking my dog for daily walks this week. She is easy to communicate with, knowledgable and comfortable with pet care, and reliable. I look forward to her continued help with dog walking.”
“Lara is great - she handles my large dog with ease - he can be leash reactive and that requires expertise. And she is consistent and timely and reliable. What else could you ask for?”
About: I've had/taken care of dogs my whole life. My husband and I love dogs and have a big yard for them to run around in. We often dogsit for family and friends when they are out of town. We lost our fur baby a couple months ago due to old age and frankly we miss him and the energy he brought to our house. Your furbaby (or babies) would have a whole house to themselves and would have the full attention of a loving couple. We live in a great neighborhood for walks and have several parks nearby. Both my husband and I work full time jobs out of the house, but are never gone more than 8 hours at a time. Our routine with our recent furbaby would be walks and breakfast in the morning before work (around 8ish), a walk/play outside after work (around 4ish) and then a bathroom break outside before bed. On weekends we have more time to spend with your dog(s) We understand that every dog is special and has special needs! We are open to all care routines and any oddities your dog may have (we used to have to hide our trash can from our dog before leaving the house 😅). As long as you provide instructions, we feel confident managing any schedules, medical care, oddities, or routines. Your fur baby will be in a loving household that just misses having dogs around all the time.
“Mackenzi was wonderful and took my pup on a nice long walk while I was away. I appreciated her quick responses and care of both Josie and my kitty! Would definitely recommend Mackenzi to care for your pets.”
“Sophia went above and beyond helping out with my dog today. My dog got a little sick on top of rolling in mud and Sophia went ahead and cleaned up all of this mess. She’s been a huge help with my dog Charlie!”
“Vivek is a nice man. He is always friendly with Josie, punctual and very responsible. He is accommodating to changes in schedules and from the pictures he shares, they seem to have a great time. Josie stands on 2 legs in anticipation looking for him . I highly recommend Vivek for walking your pup.”

About: I’ve been trained to work with dogs through BarK! I’ve loved and had pets my whole life. I always want to be a voice for the voiceless. Even though that’s a very serious statement, I am extremely protective of animals and love playing with them! While you’re gone or need a helping hand, I hope to make them as happy and comfortable as possible. I have complete flexibility right now so I’m happy to help however I can! :) I’m happy to do nights, days, and overnights if that makes things easier. Please message me with any questions. I’m very careful with my animals and that’s exactly how I would be with any of the other animals I’d walk or watch! I’m here to follow all of your instructions because you know your animal best. I’ve managed fighting animals and happy animals so I’m here to help however is necessary. I’ve worked in education previously so training is part of who I am. I will naturally uphold whatever rules or guidelines you have for your pets! Thanks for entrusting me with your animals!
About: I volunteer at the APA animal shelter where I walk and play with all types of dogs. I have also taken care of a wide variety of animals including lizards, fish, kittens (2 weeks old), puppies, and turtles! I’m currently working part-time at a restaurant so I have plenty of time to spend time with your animals and make sure they are well taken care of! I give all pets love and affection with different pets needing different things! For dogs I love to take them for walks and give them lots of belly scratches, and for cats I love to play with them and if they like, pet them!
About: I have two dogs at home and have taken care of them all my life, and I have trained them since they were puppies. I have also walked dogs around the neighborhood and love to play with them. I currently work full time Monday-Thursday, but I am available for boarding or walking on weekdays after 7:30 pm or all day during weekends and Fridays. I can easily feed, walk, and entertain your furry friends as well as implement any training they have learned. I am comfortable handling multiple dogs at once.

Sheridan H.
“Sheridan (“Dani”) is a huge dog lover. She has two dogs of her own - and these dogs each demand its own special attention, which she happily provides. She loves walking them, and she is strong and capable when they decide to get feisty around other dogs. Dani is attentive to details - for example special instructions for feeding the dogs to each of their special needs. And, the dogs love her. She loves to cuddle them and lie down with them, play catch with balls and play with their toys. Dani is both responsible and trustworthy. You can’t go wrong if Dani is caring for your pet!”
