“Deiandre was great. He was very communicative and gave detailed reports after every walk. It was such a relief knowing my sweet girl was in good hands while I was on a work trip.”


“Steven has helped us a few times now. He is always extremely responsive, responsible and the dogs love him! (The cats don't talk as much but I'm pretty sure they think he's fine.) We are so grateful to have Steven to help us. He took our oldest dog out for a walk by herself and then came back and got the other, more rambunctious ones!”

“Mark took great care of our puppy. He was very quick to respond to my request (it was somewhat short notice) and was a lifesaver. He kept us updated and paid attention to our dogs needs. I highly recommend Mark and will be using him in the future.”

“Emily is great! Had an incredibly busy day at work today and wasn’t able to spend my usual amount of time outside with Bonny. Emily showed up on a moment’s notice and did a great job with her. Greatly appreciative!”

“Maria and Luis were so kind. Great communication, very accomodating to my last-second changes, and my dogs love their new friends. I would book with them again- highly recommend Maria and Luis!”

“Chynna took great care of my Junie while I was away. She followed all instructions, sent me lots of photos, and kept me informed on how Junie was doing on their walks. I will definitely be using Chynna again for any dog sitting needs!”

“Stephanie was fantastic! She was right on time, super professional, and took great care of my puppy—making sure he got his walk and was fed lunch right on schedule. I had a great experience with her and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”

“Rachel was fantastic in taking care of my fur baby Nappa. He can be overly excited and pull when he walks but Rachel loved him like her own. Thank you so much for loving my boy and keeping my mind at ease while my family and I were away.”


About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, including my own pets and my professional experience as a kennel attendant at a pet daycare. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, baths, medication, and providing care for pets with different needs and temperaments. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to give your pet the same attention, patience, and love I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I plan my days around making sure each pet gets proper care, playtime, walks, and check-ins without feeling rushed. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. I pay attention to their behavior, needs, and any instructions provided to make sure they receive the best care possible.
“Emmalee has taken the time to get to know our dog and he has taken to her very quickly and he is a very sensitive soul so that speaks volumes! Really happy and relaxed knowing she is caring for him, would definitely recommend.”


“Jeffrey provided me with the confident he would take care of Hailie well. Shared a brief description of his time with her and a picture as well. Communicated well and is very polite.”

About: Hello! I'm Hannah. I’m a formerly practicing veterinary technician that graduated from Cuyahoga Community College in Ohio looking for some extra work. I’m hoping to meet some new clients, as I had a great business back home in Ohio. I'm a life-long animal lover, have lots of veterinary medical experience and love to spend time with pets in my free time! I have lots of experience with dogs of all kinds, dog walking, and house sitting and therefore can provide a unique level of care based on my experience in the veterinary field. I love to go for walks, go to the park for a swim and hike and am always happy to take a pup with me! Feel free to contact me, I look forward to meeting and working with you and caring for your best friend! I work from home for about 50% of my time, and have a flexible schedule that I can adapt to you and your pets needs! I like to maintain a playful and peaceful environment with pets in the home. More information is best in my book, and I like to keep your pets’ routine consistent. I work hybrid from home and the office, and can adapt my schedule to your pets needs. I am able to construct my own schedule. I find that following the owners lead about pet care to be the path to success with pet sitting. I like to maintain a calm environment for your pet while you are away!

Snickers LOVES when Alex comes to visit her and we love it because we know she is going to be so well cared for! Alex is always our first go-to when we need someone for our babies. He is a wonderful communicator and always sends such great pictures and updates. As always, thank you so much!!!!

Viv was so nice and easy to work with! She takes the best photos, is punctual, fills up Teddy’s water, and magically gets rid of the dog poo! Teddy and I will miss her now that she is going back to her regular job for the school season! Thanks for the great service Viv!

Conrad was a huge help while I was away! He was very communicative & everything went smoothly with no issues. My dog is a senior, and he can be kind of tricky. Conrad agreed to a meet and greet before we confirmed the booking which I really appreciate. I highly recommend Conrad for any pet services!

Sidney has done a fantastic job taking care of our lovely Mocha. She has been incredibly attentive and truly went the extra mile. Our lockbox got jammed, so she went above and beyond by speaking with the leasing office to gain access to our apartment so Mocha wouldn’t be left stranded. On top of that, she even asked the maintenance team to fix the lockbox. She was absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her help!

B is great! I reached out to her 6 weeks before traveling to Richmond to arrange walk for my dog for one day. B went out of her way to meet with me and meet my dog the day before at our Airbnb. My dog immediately took a liking to her. B took great care of my dog. I would recommend her 100% and would have her as a regular dog walker if I lived in the area.

Ivana is an absolute delight and a spark of energy in the morning haha! Very warm, friendly, outgoing - my two big dogs adored right away. She’s very comfortable and confident with them. She has a lot of experience with all kinds of animals (volunteering at shelters, 10+ years, many varieties of animals) and she definitely is passionate about doing this / does it with authenticity. she’s incredibly professional, always on time, and wonderfully communicative. Adored her and def booking again! Highly recommend!
