“Lori was an absolute delight! She sent us adorable pictures of our pup every night, capturing his joy during their walks and his playful antics around the house. When we finally picked him up, he couldn’t resist running back to her to bid her farewell, even amidst his excitement to reunite with his family. This heartwarming sight reaffirmed the strong bond he had formed with her while we were away. We highly recommend Lori and are already planning to use her services again. Finding Lori has made us feel much more at ease about going away, knowing that our pup will be in good hands and thoroughly enjoying himself.”

Michael went above and beyond when blue had a sensitive stomach. He was easy to communicate with and made the pick up/drop off process simple. Blue is looking forward to his next stay with Michael, highly recommend!”

Oh, and Miss Kiki loved her too!”

“Caroline was great! She was able to look after our kitties last minute and took great care of them. She gave very sweet updates and it seems our little Reggie warmed right up to her. He can sometimes be shy with new people but he wanted all of the pets from her! Piggie too! Thanks Caroline !”

“Heather took excellent care of my cat while I was out of town for a whole week. She provided me with regular updates, sent tons of pics of play time or just to get clarification on anything. I left some notes on details about my cat and things items to address and she followed them to the letter! She even offered to brush her when I mentioned she likes that. Could not recommend Heather any stronger! She’s awesome!”
“We have been repeats with Galina and she always goes above and beyond! She shows such kindness for our fur babies and always gives them plenty of love while we are away!”
“There are truly no words to describe my gratitude to Anny for her care of my two cats. One of them had been injured prior to her coming to my home for stay overs, and severely traumatized. (I was in the hospital and unable to get home to them.) Her loving presence and reassurance that she had it all under control turned out to be true. My cats adored her, and the traumatized one ended up sleeping with her every night instead of hiding under a bed. I could not have been more satisfied with her service, and beyond that incredibly grateful she managed an extremely difficult situation with such loving care and determination. She is the best. Worth every penny. Thank you Anny!”
“Caitlin was great with my cat Journey! She was very communicative in advance of my trip, setting up time for us to go over all the care details.

I would recommend Caitlin to take care of your cat!”

“Yesika did an amazing job! This was my second time working with her. She communicated clearly and took good care of my cat. I would book her when I'm traveling again. Thank you, Yesika! :)”

Despite our kittens' mischievous nature, the house was still very clean when we returned. The photos she sent with every visit were a wonderful touch. It’s clear our cats were well-cared for and very happy. Thank you, Valerie!”

She also kept the staff and area for the cats clean, we found everything organized well after coming back home. We are highly recommended for Carly.”

I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat, and I will absolutely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!””

“Vanessa and her partner took excellent care of my puppy Mochi. They frequently sent me pictures and videos of their little adventures with Mochi, and kept me up to date on the little one's endeavor. By the end of the stay, my little Mochi was giving them goodbye kisses and I could tell she had a wonderful time. I could not be happier with the care Mochi received and I am finally relieved to have found someone who can wonderfully care for my puppy in my absence.”

“If I could leave 10 stars, I would. Greta was absolutely AMAZING. Great communication, and an extremely happy pup when I picked her up. Thank you so much Greta for taking care of my Gracie as if she were your own.”
“Our pup, Orla, enjoyed her time at Carol's. Carol was super sweet and her home was lovely; Orla enjoyed the fenced-in turf backyard quite a bit from the video Carol provided. Everything was smooth and went well. Thanks again!”
“Luci and her family have been amazing!! We have a very smart, but stubborn GSP that had never been away from home overnight, or watched by people outside the family. I was understandably nervous... They updated me multiple times a day about his progress during multiple night sleepover and were available during a family emergency which required Chandler be dropped off and picked up hours later. Everyone in this family is so nice!! They truly love the dogs they look after and have very good communication to make sure you are not worried about your fur baby!!”

I was very happy that he could enjoy time outside of his crate with other dogs in a warm and caring environment! Will definitely book again!!”

“Heather is amazing with our dogs! She is so patient and has taken the time to get to know their unique personalities- and work with them! Both of our dogs can be a bit vocal on leash, and she has handled them so well. She walks them 3x a week and is always so good at communicating what time she will be there, and how the boys were with her. Highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs!”

About: I've had a dog of my own for about 10 years, and I’ve also cared for other dogs for up to 5 days at a time. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I love being around dogs—they genuinely make me happy. I’m comfortable with puppies and senior dogs and always try to adjust to each dog’s pace and needs. I treat every dog like my own and aim to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work remotely with flexible hours, so I’m available for regular walks throughout the day. I love taking breaks to get outside, and walking dogs is the perfect way to add movement and joy to my daily routine. I do my best to follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh food and water, get plenty of playtime and affection (if they want it!), and keep their space clean. I respect the client’s home, leave everything as I found it, and always keep in touch with updates and photos.
“Hannah is definitely the best walker I have ever met. She is so responsive and sweet, always having a safe and happy walking journey with my doggy. I will always go back to her.”
“I really appreciate the time and consideration Angela had with Maple! She was mindful of length of the walks during hot days and spent the rest of the time watching Maple. I can tell Maple had a great time with her! Highly recommend!”
“We absolutely love James! What really stood out to us is how much time he took to get to know our pup before even going on their first walk together. He didn’t just show up and clip the leash—he sat with her, probably learned her little quirks, asked questions, and made sure she felt comfortable and safe. That kind of care is rare, and it meant the world to us 💛 Highly, highly recommend!”
“Lisa has been a dog walking life saver. She consistently arrives on time, is an excellent communicator, and my shy pups clearly adore her. Sadly, this has not been the case with all of my Rover dog walkers. I could not recommend her more!”
“Fahad was great and easy to talk to. Fahad asked questions about my dog to better understand his needs and temperament for the walk. My dog had a blast and the pictures Fahad took were delightful.”
“Emma did a fantastic job walking my 1 year old dog Jack. She was professional, on time, responsive, and kept me updated with pictures. Emma was available last minute and Jack loved going on a walk with her. I will definitely utilize her services again in the future and would highly recommend her!”
“Devin has been great with my pup from the start. He is dependable, kind, and responsible. My pup took to him immediately, which is always a good sign! I know my pup is well cared for when Devin is walking him, and I appreciate how trustworthy and consistent Devin has been. I’m truly grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to care for your fur baby as well!”
