“Kacie was AMAZING and I highly recommend her services. I had to make a last minute dog walking appointment and she was so accommodating! She made a point to connect with my dog right away and I was immediately comfortable leaving her in Kacie’s care. She gave detailed reports and my dog loved her. She will be my first choice for every booking going forward.”
“Kaira is the cutest! When we got home on Halloween we saw that she left Lincoln the cutest little Halloween goody bag! The first Halloween treats he ever got! She takes such good care of our little buddy!”
“Mariah is awesome! She is super accommodating and reliable. She is also very understanding of our diva of a Dachshund. She communicated with us very well and sent sent updates about our dogs behavior (as well as bathroom activities). Look forward to using her services again.”
“Claire did a great job taking care of our dog. We had to leave town unexpectedly for a funeral. I was apprehensive to leave our house keys and dog in the care of someone I didn't know. All concern washed away after our meet and greet. Claire is a lovely person. She was very easy to correspond with and gave us plenty of updates while away.”
“Mickey loves Artemis. He is always kind, professional and very good with my dog. He's also pretty quick to respond and very flexible with scheduling. I would definitely recommend him.”
“Dylan had been awesome with Ellie. He’s very patient and loving to her. Plus he’s been super flexible with our schedule. We are glad we found him and definitely recommend to anyone!”
“Santos is an amazing and attentive dog walker. He takes very good care of my pup Gobi while out walking on the River trail. Gobi always looks happy and content while she is with Santos. Santos also looked after Gobi's broken toenail. He took great care to wrap the paw and clean it on return. We are very lucky to have been connected with Santos.”
“Amazing! She is so thorough and takes it upon herself to add in training. You can tell she’s very passionate smart and resourceful! I highly recommend. Adding in photos and details of the walk is an added benefit! Super grateful!”
About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved taking care and supporting animals, especially dogs and cats. I’ve had mainly smaller dogs of my own growing up, but I also have experience taking care of larger and more senior dogs in my neighborhood/volunteering at a vet clinic in college. Among friends and family members, I am a reliable and caring pet sitter who will not only keep your fur baby entertained, but send you pictures of all the fun we have! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of pets during the day and watch them at night! I will care for your precious fur baby by making sure they get some play time in, get the daily dose of good pets and ear scratches, and tucker them out with a good run/walk!
“Darisbeth is absolutely wonderful!! Takes excellent care of my baby Milo on their walks. Always sends updates and photos along their walks and Milo always seems very happy! She is very communicative and overall has been a wonderful experience having her walk him”
About: I have a lot of experience watching dogs, walking them, playing with them, training them, and loving them. I’ve been trusted by so many in the past because I am genuinely an animal lover that loves being around pets. I work hybrid so have a lot of availability for the entire week. I have a cat t an apartment big enough for everyone to have their own space if needed. I have a baby gate in my house to separate dogs and my cat if necessary. Many different rooms for everyone to have their own space in
About: I’ve grown up in a family that always had a pet dog or two. I don’t have the space for one so I’m offering my walking and pet care services to micro-dose having a dog. I’ve loved being able to take them on long walks and get outside in the city. I enjoy letting them sniff and check their doggy social feed. I’m comfortable and have experience being around smaller dainty dogs all the way up to huge hairy huskies. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule so I am able to make most pet schedules work during the work week. My weekend is generally even more flexible. I currently have a cat who has FIV so house sitting or taking in an other pet currently is not an option. I have experience house sitting for many of my friends and will always leave the place the same if not better than I found it.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for over 30 years! My heart dog is named Nomad, a Great Pyrenees. I have a keen sense for animal behavior and animal body language, which makes me great for meeting new animals! I have a lot of experience with training puppies and adult dogs. I look at animal care as one of my great passions in life. Currently, I have a lot of time to spend with your pups and kittens! I can do walks and check ins anytime from 11:00 am - 8:00 pm! Overnight stays can be accommodated in advance! Currently I will unfortunately not be available for pet boarding at my home.. However this is something I would like to do in the future when I have a park near by! When it comes to pet care in my client's homes, I like to leave it better than I found it!
