“Kara is fantastic with our energetic lab puppy. She's so loving with animals and has been dependable for our dog walking needs. She's also really good with training out bad behaviors in our puppy. Thanks so much!”
“Maple is a very shy girl. She’s hesitant around new people (she’s a rescue) however, when she met Mackenzie for the first time she loved her and opened up so easily ! I was grateful they were a good match. Maple also gets scared easily with loud noises. Mackenzie is very patient with Maple when they go on their morning walks. There is construction around my house and people gets nervous and sometimes refuses to walk however Mackenzie is very patient with my Maple and I am very appreciative. She is amazing and I am so grateful I found her to walk Maple 🩷”
“She did such a great job with my boys! One is elderly, while the other is scared of everything. She was very patient with them. Both of the boys came back much more relaxed ☺️”
“Jon has been wonderful with Boston. It is an immense peace of mind knowing that he is there to get Boston out for a nice walk when I am at work. Jon is responsive to all communication and always makes sure Boston is well cared for.”
About: I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. My experience includes dog walking, pet sitting, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and maintaining safe, structured environments. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I prioritize clear communication with owners to ensure peace of mind. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make space for it in my everyday routine. I plan my days to ensure pets get consistent attention, whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just companionship. It never feels like a chore to me, it’s something I look forward to and prioritize. Safety and trust come naturally to me because of my caregiving background. I’m attentive, patient, and always aware of my environment. I focus on creating a calm, secure space where pets can relax and feel safe, while also making sure owners feel confident, informed, and at ease.
“From the first minute I spoke to Zoe, I knew that I had hired a great person to watch Flex and take him for a walk. She came over the night before and did a meet-and-greet. Flex had other ideas, but she communicated with me, which put me at ease. I highly recommend Zoe.”
About: I have owned dogs and cats and love them like children. I love to play and cuddle with them. I am good at spoiling them and also make sure they get their routine checkups. Also have had their teeth cleaned and use flea prevention. I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats over the years on and off. I love to walk, the more the better. I also donate to rescue agencies to help them care for those in need. I am self employed so my hours vary and are fairly flexible. I don't ever work long hours so I am always available up to a few times a day or could possibly do overnight stays. I have 2 cats at home so it's best if I take care of yours in your home..It's still possible I could take them in mine if introduced and they get along. I follow directions well and give a lot of attention..
“Victoria was very helpful with walking my dog! I will keep booking with her. She was punctual and did everything I asked. She was also communicative with me the entire time.”
About: I’ve taken care of my and my friend’s dogs for a long time ever since I’ve been a kid and I love doing it! I find joy in spending time with dogs and taking care of them :) My sister’s roomate has a cat and when she doesn’t have time to take care of her, I happily ensure her cat is taken care of. I also have a dog, personally, so I ensure I give every dog the happiest and best walks! I make sure every pet feels comfortable and loved, whether they're in my home or their own. For dog walking, I stick to their usual routine and keep them safe while giving them plenty of exercise and attention.
“Samantha has been awesome with our puppy!!! Her communication is wonderful and she is always prompt. She gives extra TLC and Keira just loves her. We feel fortunate to have found her and we are very comfortable leaving our puppy in her care.”
About: I’ve grown up with and spent many years living with pets of all kinds! I love animals and have done many overnight sits, walks and feedings for the pets of friends and family. I work part time and have an extremely flexible schedule. I do not have any children and I do have my own vehicle so it’s easy for me to schedule pet care on almost any day. I can feed, water, walk, crate and care for your animals based around whatever your normal day-to-day care system would be. I’m very adaptable and believe in keeping your pet’s normal schedule as much as possible.
About: I've been a dog person my whole life. I love dogs and give mine the loving attention they deserve. You can rest assured your dog will receive the same love, attention, and proper care/treatment. I'm a teacher currently not working in the summer...so I can help out anytime you need it. Once the school year starts, my hours will change, but for now, I'm here to help! I have a big, fenced backyard. I have crates available if needed. You can trust that your dog's safety and positive environment will be my top priority.

Taylor walks our dog in a regular basis. Our schedule is now different every week and we always appreciate her flexibility when and if we need to make changes. She is reliable and great with communication. She replies to all of our requests to book promptly. As we move into cold weather she asks about how to handle walking with our almost 10 year old dog, especially on bitter or icy days. We are very thankful!!
