About: I currently am a proud cat parent, but have taken care of my own, and other’s dogs since I was a kid. I would love to help out with any walking needs for your furry family member! No dog is too big or too small and I’m familiar with puppies and senior dogs as well. My main priority is healthy, happy pets! I currently work a full-time 9-5 hybrid schedule. I am available 5 pm onward on the weekdays, and flexible on weekends. Please reach out for morning availability as well, depending on location I may be able to accommodate you. I will utilize whatever walking materials (leash, harness, travel water bowls, etc.) that are preferred by you. I will happily provide these items if no unique preferences are requested.

“Lauren is the best dog walker we’ve ever had. She was punctual, flexible, a great communicator and just an overall pleasure to work with. She walked my 80 lb boxer regularly for a few months and I would book her again in a heart beat. Look no further for a better dog walker!”

“My sister referred Yhakerra to me and she was amazing with my semi anxious dog! We booked her for dog walking while I was traveling. She was patient and calm with my dog, she provided updates daily and was responsive. I 100% trust her and will be bookings again!”

About: Even if it's just a quick drop in for a potty break, I always make sure your pet gets some extra attention & snuggles. I am meticulous about special dietary needs & medication administration. Right now, I am available during the day mon, thurs, fri, and sun. I can also do evenings all week. Hoping to be able to add more availability to my schedule I always make sure that pets aren't able to get out if they aren't secured on a leash, or in a fenced in yard. I make sure to let other dog walkers know if a dog I'm walking isn't friendly. Temperature and terrain is always taken into account when dog walking

“Elizabeth is excellent with my dog! I love that she finds programs dogs like to watch. We came home the other night to PJ relaxing and watching TV.”

“Reliable, good guy. The timing for the walks varied from day to day during the week based on scheduling and Lucas was totally on top of it. He’s now my go-to dog walker!”

About: I strive to make the lives of our furry friends as fulfilling and fun as possible! I'm very comfortable taking care of any pet, and I have taken care of senior animals who require insulin shots and meticulous diets. One of my favorite electives at university was my 'Psychology of our Pets' class where we learned about how to best care for our furry friends and keep them active and healthy. I have owned dogs, cats, and even birds! Since I'm home from university for the summer, I'm pretty much available at the drop of a dime! While I would prefer a day's notice, I should be able to take care of your pet within two hours of your request. I believe that activities and fun are just as important for pets as they are for humans. Who wants to be stuck in their house all day? I know tons of dog-friendly walking trails, and I'd love to spend a few hours with them & make sure they are well-exercised. I've dealt with a lot of dietary restrictions for pets, so I can follow any directions very closely if needed. For Cats/Kittens, I have a few toys I'd be happy to bring, and even a harness if they want to explore outside for a few minutes!

“Emily is so awesome! She’s dependable, kind, compassionate, and she takes all of the steps necessary to ensure the comfort of my pup! She doesn’t just walk my dog, she plays with him as well to make sure he’s mentally stimulated. She gives plenty of water breaks and is really flexible on hot days. Ronin has a blast with her! Thanks so much Emily!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, from our show dog who was an Irish Wolfhound to being a rescue mom to smaller terriers. I have cared for horses, chickens, bunnies which included pets with special handicaps. With deep empathy and natural connection, I understand animals on an intuitive level. I have trained puppies, comforted seniors and welcomed countless creatures who somehow find their way to my home. Your pet will find a home away from home here with me, safe, loving-and I look forward to offering the same love I show all animals to your beloved pet. All the animals in my home live in harmony together. Some visitors marvel at that fact but it's how I treat each animal with love and care that fosters this environment. All needs are met and everyone is happy! I am home during the day and available to provide attentive care for your pet. I may step out briefly for errands or other chores but will ensure your pet's needs are fully met and they get plenty of company and care. Our home is on one acre with a fenced in yard and great area for walking with lots of trees in a peaceful setting. I have a senior dog (17 yo) that loves company. We also have cats which are friendly and curious.

Travis works from home which allows us to offer constant companionship and supervision. Roberta is a teacher nearby, providing the ability to come home early for extra cuddles. We had a 10 year-old German shepherd mix named Marshall, that recently passed, that we adopted from a rescue at 8 weeks old so we have the ability and patience to host puppies. Marshall was our first family dog, Roberta grew up with multiple dogs caring for them from pups through seniors. Additionally, our 6 year-old daughter has enough energy to provide tons of additional fetch and chase time. We also have a 1 year old that can’t wait to get in on the action! We are able to (and love) having pups with special needs. Marshall's best friend was blind and we cared for him on many occasions. We can also administer medications and prepare specialized meals when needed. We have a large backyard that allows for plenty of jaunts and potty breaks. As well as plenty of space in the house for quiet time and naps. Your pup will have full access to make themselves comfortable in their home away from home.

About: My name’s Regina and I have been a dog lover since my family adopted our first dog when I was only 2 years old. She was my best friend, and ever since then, my friends and family have joked that I love dogs more than people! I walk my two dogs on a daily basis, and I know how difficult that can be when working around a busy schedule. I work remotely so I have the flexibility to accommodate you and your dog's schedule. Since I was 13 I have cared for countless dogs of neighbors, friends, and family while the owners were on vacation or even just stuck at work. I know how important my dogs are to me, so I always treat all pets with love and care. I’m comfortable with all sizes and breeds, and would love to help out with your furry best friend! I work remotely so I have flexibility to accommodate your schedule. I'm of course available early morning and evening hours, and can also give your dog attention and exercise mid-day. If your dog is in need of extra attention, I can even work from your home for an agreed-upon rate. I will make sure you dog receives the exercise and attention they need. I will provide plenty of time for walks and/or playing outside in your yard. I always ensure dogs have food and water before leaving as well!

About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals over the past 10 years, including raising my own Bichon Frise for 8 years and hosting a British Shorthair cat in my home for 2 years. Friends and family often turn to me to help care for their pets—dogs, cats, and even more unusual animals—because they know I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals. Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, or just giving lots of love and playtime, I’m experienced and trustworthy. I’m currently on summer break from school, so I’m available every day to care for your dog or cat. With a flexible schedule, I can give them plenty of attention and playtime throughout the day. My home has a spacious living room where your pup can play freely and safely. I’ll be by their side to keep them company, make them feel comfortable, and ensure they’re happy and cared for at all times. Our neighborhood also has beautiful green spaces—perfect for daily walks and outdoor fun.

About: I'm 36 years old and had a dog for 14 years but passed a couple years ago. He was also diabetic for 4 years and I have experience with giving insulin. I also got 2 months worth of dog behavior training when I worked at a doggy resort. I work from home so it's a perfect situation for me to take care of your pups. I love taking walking breaks from my work day so your pup will get plenty of walks in if they want to. I absolutely adore dogs, friends & family have looked to me to take care of their pets while they were away. My dog was like my son, so I will treat your dog like he/she is a member of the family. I work from home so your pup would be home with me a majority of the time. I only leave for an hour or two to the gym a couple times a week. Your pup will be safe in my home. I do not have a fenced yard but there's plenty of space to go on walks and will be leashed. A lot of my neighbors go on walks with their dogs in the neighborhood. Your dog's happiness & safety is always number 1 and I'm always available via text if you want to check up. I'll send you adorable photos too :)

About: As a kid, my family would often take care of our friend's dogs, but we never had one of our own. Now, I'm a dad of three young humans and one bundle of fluff named Simba. Oh and let's not forget Victoria, our rabbit. We love havinganimals, and we still love watching other people's animals too. I'm also offering to house-sit, and take other people's dogs (either solo or with my Simba) for walks. I mostly work from home and never leave a dog alone while in my care. We take several walks per day, including morning, lunch, and at least two in the evening. I have a comfortable living space, a nice yard area, nice green space and a park nearby. When dogsitting, I take very little space for myself and leave the space better than when I found it.

“Carly was great!!! She helped me out last minute by taking my pup for a walk! Extremely reliable and I will definitely be calling her again!!!”

About: I currently have a very lovable, chill senior dog whom I've had for 10 years, and have also had a cat before that. My friends call me a "dog whisperer" because I have a knack for training and understanding dogs. I've watched countless dogs in the past decade, and am the go-to dog sitter for all my friend's pups. I figured I may as well do this professionally, since I love it so much. I treat dogs just as humans, with their own unique needs and personalities. Whether it's more walks, dedicated playtime, or quiet time alone, I'm happy to manage the specific needs of your pet(s). I understand that not all pets want to be social or friendly. I can attend to specific needs like medication or agility/aggression training, having managed these issues with multiple dogs in the past. I have a flexible schedule, so I can give the necessary time needed to your pet, including, but not limited to lots of cuddles, treats, and of course, 3-4 walks/adventures every day. On weekends we can go on bigger adventures like city/nature hikes or brewery hangs based on the unique temperament of your pet. I live in a spacious townhouse on a quiet dead-end street with minimal car and foot traffic. I am meticulously clean and organized, and would treat your home the same way I treat mine. There is plenty of space for your pet to hang out in my house. I'm happy to cater to any specific needs too, such as medication, crating, or managing aggression with other dogs or humans.

“Matthew was a great dog walker. He was extremely helpful and fast in his responses. He walked my dog for the full hour, which is pretty impressive because my dog is extremely high energy. I would book him again!”
