I will care for your dog the same you do to keep things consistent for them. We can leave them out if we have to leave or crate them, whichever you prefer.

“Sheila has been walking my dog Violet since July. She is trustworthy, reliable, flexible and caring. She has lots of expirience with dogs and can handle walking a dog that doesn't have the best manners on a leash! My dog Violet seems to really enjoy her walks with Sheila! She has been able to fit in a walk for Violet every single time I have asked, even if I have contacted last minute due to a scheduling conflict on my end. Sheila is very detail oriented and observant and will notice and alert you if something seems off/different about your dog. I can't say enough good things about Sheila!”

About: Welcome , we care for your dogs like family! My love of dogs come from growing up with more than 5 dogs at a time in my childhood home back in the Philippines. So, I am used to having and being around multiple dogs at a time. Your pets would be in a loving and caring home where we treat your pets as part of the family. I’m currently working from home. I take my dog on long walks during my lunch break and we would love some company during the day and on our walks. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I live across a dog park and a community park where I take my dog to play with her favorite ball and to run around.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! Over the past ten years, I’ve had dogs of my own and couldn’t imagine life without them. I also have a cat who keeps me on my toes and makes every day brighter. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets, big and small, and I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I currently work from home and I am a full time student. I have a flexible schedule everyday. I will be able to take care of your pet any day I care for pets with the same love and attention I give my own—making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and happy with plenty of play, walks, and cuddles.

“She was absolutely amazing! We truly loved working with her. She sent us so many photos of our dog and was always on time! I definitely recommend hiring her. You won’t regret it :)”


“Connie regularly walks my Golden Retriever, Henry. She is absolutely incredible! After every walk I receive adorable pictures, and a detailed review of how their experience was. While it is always hard to leave Henry in the morning, it is refreshing to know that Connie will be dropping by to give him the same love that we would. We trust her very much- she has been a life saver! Highly recommend!”

“Taylor has done a great job walking our dogs in the afternoon! He interacts with them great and seems to appreciate their unique personalities, haha. He is communicative, arrives on time, and also sends a quick update when the walk is over. I’d be happy to recommend Taylor, and we will be working with him again.”

“Amazing! Grace was wonderful with Kobi and followed all of my specific instructions perfectly. I needed a sitter at the very last minute, and she responded to my message quickly and professionally. She took great care of Kobi, kept me updated, and gave me total peace of mind. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!”

“Heidi was fantastic! She gave us such peace of mind while on vacation. She was attentive and kind to our little girl and left such detailed report cards. I can't recommend her enough and look forward to using her for walks and sitting in the future.”

About: Starting as a young girl I would pet sit for family friends when they’d go away for vacations. Recently, I’ve for friends/families pets when needed especially over the summer. I have availability open all day so that I can check in multiple times. I also have 2 cats of my own who live in a very loving home which also allows me to be educated on cats. I’ve also had dogs as a young girl, therefore I’m very aware of how to care for both types of animals. I’m very available mornings and evenings usually before and after I run my daily errands or have some shifts at my original job. I’m super available over night and I’m willing to build a schedule around pet care where needed. I’m very aware of how animals act when happy, scared, hungry, etc… I’m always super calm around animals to ensure they feel safe with me. I will also always ask the pet owners how their specified per prefers to be called, treated, petted, etc… to make sure everyone is comfortable with my personal pet care.
