“Nia was very responsive and flexible with my drop off and arrival times. I enjoyed the daily updates. She even had a gift bag when I picked up Duke. I would definitely recommend Nia.”

“Hana was wonderful with our slightly neurotic older poodle mix. When I picked her up after her overnight visit, she really seemed like she had had fun! And Hana's home environment seems like doggy paradise. She provided me pics throughout the day, and her communication was excellent. I would be glad to use Hana's services again.”
“Shanna and Charlie have great communication. They send me photos when I’m away on trips, and let me know that my pup is well cared for and getting along with the other dogs. I really appreciate the kindness and consistency they show, it makes a big difference for me to feel safe leaving my dog. Thank you both!”

G & Stormy will choose Madison’s every time 💜”

“We’ve been frequent flyers with Todd and Bill now for over a year. They have always been so welcoming of our little puppers and so loving with them. It’s scary leaving a furry friend behind so finding the right person to care for them like you would yourself is important. I love how happy my pups are when they come back from a pawcation😄they are so happy Zane tired. A tired dog.. is a happy dog.. very glad I found them!”
“Diana is a great pup sitter! Everything went smoothly from drop off to pick up and my dog was very warm and cuddley with her which shows me she took the time to bond with my (somewhat shy) pup. Can’t ask for much more!”
“Whitney is the best! Bentley is always well taken care of and Whitney is super great to schedule with. We had a rough trip home with flight delays. Moved pick up times like 3 time and ended up having to add two nights! Whitney was super flexible, adding days and rolling with the changes.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Cheryl! She was warm, friendly, and took the time to do a meet-and-greet with her dog beforehand, which made us feel much more comfortable. Throughout our puppy’s stay, she sent daily updates with photos and videos that gave us peace of mind. Our puppy is still young and learning, and she was incredibly patient and attentive to his individual needs. She was flexible in helping him settle in and made sure he was comfortable throughout his stay. He also had a great time playing with the other dogs she was watching, and it was clear he had plenty of positive socialization and fun. We really appreciated the care, communication, and genuine attention she gave him. We would absolutely trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter.”

“Amanda took such great care of my dog for me and he certainly isn’t an easy one as he has his little quirks that people have to be aware of. All of these updates and photos she sent me really made me feel like roo was apart of their family while I was away. Highly recommend!”

At one point, I was feeling anxious because one of cats wasn’t coming out to see Whitney and I worried he had gotten stuck in one of the rooms we closed.

“Paige is wonderful with my dog, who has leash anxiety. As our regular dog walker, she is always punctual and communicative. On our first visit, Paige took the time to ask thoughtful questions about his triggers, routines, allergies, treats, and do’s and don’ts before starting. She handled him calmly and patiently, making safety and positive interactions a clear priority. I really appreciated how attentive and understanding she is, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in caring, capable hands. Highly recommend!”
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and homes, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate approach to every animal I meet. I've volunteered and worked at dog shelters and animal sanctuaries, giving me hands-on experience with a wide range of animals; not just dogs and cats but also rabbits, chickens, pigs, goats, horses, and sheep. I'm comfortable with all types of pets, from mischievous puppies and large breeds to reactive or anxious animals. I’m experienced in administering medication and following detailed care routines. Whether your pet needs extra patience, playtime, or just a steady presence while you're away, I’m here to help. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into a busy day - it is my day. As a professional pet sitter, your pet’s needs come first on my schedule. My flexible hours mean they get consistent, focused attention, love, and care from morning to night.

I will keep them safe, happy, and comfortable while you are away, even if you’re only gone for a day or half day.

“Hana is amazing! I have been extremely scatterbrained and she’s been very understanding and worked with me when I messed up our walking schedule. She is a true dog whisperer and I trust her with our (sometimes very angry) 13 year old husky. She is very patient with him (and me) and has been a real lifesaver for dog walking on our busy 15 hour days!”
“Karilou has walked my dogs in the past. Gus, my new pooch, immediately took to her. Karilou is friendly, reliable, knowledgeable, has a degree in animal behavior, and also has a knack for capturing awesome photos of Gus. She is nothing short of amazing. Thank you Karilou. Glad you're back!”
“Audrey was such a gem! My dogs loved her, and she was super reliable and communicative. I was out of town for a work trip and it gave me such peace of mind to know my pups were in good hands. I’ll definitely use her again and would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“I booked Kat to walk my dog for the week while I was out of town. My dog has extremely high energy, and can sometimes too much for some people. Kat was amazing with him though, and I could tell he responded well to her. She knew when he needed to get more energy out and ran with him, handled him when he got too excited, and was patient in his moments of overwhelming excitement. I will 100% book Kat again in the future when I need someone to care for my dog.”

About: I’ve always been a dog person and have cared for dogs most of my life. I had a Boxer named Pantera, along with her mom and brother, Hercules, and now I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Diego. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering medications when needed, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like family. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and care, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine since I’m available on weekends and during weekday evenings. I love spending time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets because I feel the same way about my own puppy. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I will take the time to learn your dogs schedule and routine that you already have in place for them. My goal is to make their time away from you as stress free as possible, whether that’s in my home or yours (whichever you prefer). I also like to send updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Tyler was incredible with our active, anxious pup, Penny! He was so patient with her and even helped with leash training along the way. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos.

“It was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad I found Daniel for dog-walking services! I was out of town for 6 days and needed assistance with 3 walks per day.

I recommend them and will definitely use them again. I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you!”
