“Gina has been an amazing dog walker! We’ve used her a few times a week for months now. She’s very responsive, consistent, and caring. My golden retriever has been in good hands!”
About: I make a very good friend for pets. I don't have any of my own, but other people's pets usually love me. I've been taking care of pets since I was a teen, mostly pet sitting or drop-ins for feedings and hangouts. Have experience with dogs and cats. I currently work from home and have been trying to get out and take more walks in the afternoon during my break. Might as well bring a furry friend along for some company and motivation! I'm available weekdays in the late morning through early afternoon. I also live pretty close to a dog park that I frequent with my partner and her puppy. I like to make sure pets are comfortable around me, always checking to make sure their body language is telling me it's okay before I try to reach out and pet them.
About: Hi! I'm currently a nursing student with 7+ years of experience walking and caring for dogs, including senior doggos! I’m dependable, punctual, and always make sure sure each dog feels safe and has a good time outside! Currently I’m in school with a very flexible schedule. I’m available on weekends, most mornings and evenings, and any time on Thursdays! My schedule might change here and there but I’m pretty flexible- reach out if you need coverage outside of my listed availability! I try to make pets feel as comfortable and cared for as they do with you! I stick to their usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, meds if needed—and give them lots of attention and affection. I’ll also send updates and pics so you know they’re doing great while you’re away!
“Lori has been so wonderful with our pup! He can be very attached to us at times and she's been so patient with him. Now he is scratching at the door to walk with her when she arrives! We feel so lucky to have Lori as our dog walker and know Maverick is in such good care!”
“Rosemary was wonderful! So communicative and prompt. Always keeping me informed of everything going on. My little guy was a little shy at first so she brought her own dog as a companion and it worked like a charm. She's great!”
About: We offer dog walking for up to 2 pups at a time of all ages and sizes. My husband and I both grew up with dogs, and love every dog that comes our way. We have our own pup, Harley, and we do foster dogs frequently so have a lot of experience with different dogs. Your pup will receive all the attention and care that they need and deserve. Feel free to give any instructions aim what your dog likes and any training you are working on. I own my own business nearby as a Physical Therapist so I have a flexible schedule to help you out with your pup when is most convenient for you. We foster dogs all the time and have a lot of experience walking them and advocating for them. If your dog is not dog friendly we will not put them in positions they aren’t comfortable with and their safety and happiness is our upmost priority.
“Fernanda is great! Kept me up to date with the walk and sent so many good pictures of my dog. She definitely made it an easy process and I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have been caring for dogs over the last 15 years including dogs with special needs (blind), dogs who need daily medicines, senior dogs and puppies. I have two dogs that I care for daily. One is a 3 year old blind dog and the other is a senior dog. I love to care for them, play with them, walk them and of course snuggle with them I will care for your dogs like they are my own. I will ensure they are fed per their normal schedule, exercised, played with, patted, and snuggled. If needed, I can give them oral and ophthalmic medications.
“Donna was awesome! She came to take Polo for 2 walks yesterday and she came at the 2. specific times I requested and made sure Polo had fresh water and fed him supper and played with him! I will definetely request for her again and highly recommend her with our precious babies!”
“Sarah has been great with my pup. She is prompt, responsive, and takes my dog on long walks to tucker him out while I'm in the office. I highly recommend Sarah, as I'm sure that she will quickly become friends with your few baby.”
“Tanya was able to help me on very short notice when my regular walker was injured. My two older dogs loved her and she was very reliable and great at communicating. We’re all very grateful to, and would highly recommend Tanya.”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I have had experience with 'difficult' dogs that just need a little patience. Plenty of positive reinforcement goes a long way! I can only provide services in the evening on weekdays and at any time on the weekend, please reach out so that we can align on the best time! Trust is priority number one for you and your dog. My goal is to make sure your dog is comfortable with my presence and care.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of all kinds, and have had family dogs since I was born. My first ever job was at a dog kennel where I took care of many dogs at once (from chihuahuas to Great Danes!). The dog in the picture is my mom’s dog, Henry - he is a snuggly golden doodle. I have a cat at home, Willow-she is the best and my baby, but the reason we can’t have any other pets (a clear only child!). I can’t wait to meet your pet! I currently work a hybrid schedule, and am typically in the office Monday - Wednesday. I would be available to take your dogs for walks or check in on your cats Thursday-Sunday, and would be happy to house sit if needed. I would love to take care of your pet in the place that they’re most comfortable - their home! I will meet your pet first to get to know them and learn about their favorite toys, places to walk, spots for naps, etc, and to make sure they are familiar with me.

Kerri S.
“Kerri and I have been friends for over 20 years. In those years she and I and many of our other friends have always had dogs. I’ve seen Kerri adopt dogs as puppies (Daisy) to old guys with medical needs (Wally then Gus) and once she knew how to handle a blind dog she sought to adopt the often over looked blind dogs and found Bowie. Daisy was tough on other dogs, Bowie was scared to go anywhere, and like the true labs both Wally and Gus can manage to find a body water anyplace we go. We go on pack walks often. Kerri handles her dogs with ease whether they are big, or scared, or even blind. She knows a happy dog is a well exercised dog. She often takes her dogs on pack walks through the woods, around the lake, or just around her neighborhood. I know she caters her speed and difficulty level based on who is in the pack. I have a small dog who can’t go as far which is fine by her. Being the owner of a blind dog makes her extra alert on our walks always ensuring it is an enjoyable experience. Kerri is always the one in control on the walks and the dogs know it.Kerri is also the first to offer to watch our dogs in our home or here if we need to go away for a night or a week. All the dogs I know want to be in Kerri’s pack or if they are lucky enough, to spend the weekend at her house when their parents are away.”

Joshua A.
“When my partner and I needed to quickly find someone to take care of our pets (1 cat, 1 dog, and 2 birds) while we went out of town for a week, Josh didn't hesitate to offer us a hand! He was very attentive to all of our pets' needs (specifically our birds, who can be particular with whom they like). He was also a very responsive when my partner and I checked in to make sure things were going well. We would definitely ask him to take care of out pets again!”
Mariah C.
“Mariah has looked after my Goldendoodle (Henry) on a number of occasions. He is always very excited to see her and she is so loving towards him. She takes him for walks, teaches him new tricks and is encouraging and positive. I would absolutely recommend her to care for your pet.”
