“Great job!!”
“Melanie is super dependable and great with my dog. He gets more walks now than ever! Total piece of mind when I'm working extra hours to have Melanie spend some time with him.”
“Allie is fantastic! When she showed up for our meet-and-greet, she was extremely thorough and took her time to ensure that she was able to record all important information about my dog. She promptly responds to messages and easily established a great rapport with my dog. She is now my #1 go-to when I need someone to take care of my dog when I am unable to!”
“Brittney truly is the best! Extremely reliable and flexible. I've had to switch on her so many times because of my schedule and she's always so accommodating. Super plus is that the dogs love her. Any instructions I send her she follows with no hesitation. Super friendly and you can tell she loves what she does. Thanks Brittney for always keeping me at ease.”
“Scott is seriously the best! So accommodating, always goes above and beyond, and my dog absolutely loves him (he usually hates everyone). Highly recommend!!”
About: I have always loved animals and growing up, I lived with cats. I have owned a variety of pets such as hamsters, fish, hermit crabs and taken care of my neighbors' dogs. I take pride in the level of excellent care of my pets (even as a child!) and always research the best food, practices, toys and other aspects of their care so they are living their best life with me. I was always a responsible child growing up and took pet parenting quite seriously. I was attached to all my pets and would prioritize their needs as a good pet owner. Growing up, I would also pet sit my neighbors' dogs by playing with them, feeding them and cleaning up after them. As a fitness enthusiast, I love taking dogs for walks! I currently work from home during the week and am flexible with timing for visits. I am available on weekends as well as holidays as long as I am made aware ahead of time. I appreciate any timing flexibility for visits when considering working with me since I do have other responsibilities. If you know me personally, you would know I am a huge animal lover and am obsessed with my cats. They mean the world to me and as someone who loves her cats as her family, I will treat your fur baby with the utmost respect, love and best care possible. I understand entrusting someone else to care for your fur baby is a big responsibility and I would be honored to do that for you. I will write down all of your instructions, pay close attention to details of your pets' specific needs, tend to their needs during their visit, give them love, clean up after them, feed them, and will try to keep your pets' routines as closely as possible so it is smooth and stress free for them. I know what it is like to go on vacation and how disruptive it can be for your pet. As owners, we worry about their wellbeing and that is a top concern for me as a pet sitter. I am here to comfort, soothe and make your absence less uncomfortable for them. As a dog walker, I will pay the utmost attention to my surroundings, clean up after them and keep them safe away from any potential threats. I take this role quite seriously as your pet is your loved one and I would want mine to be treated in the same manner.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them comes as naturally to me as breathing. I’ve grown up with dogs since I was a kid and currently have two of my own—both well-behaved and trained beyond just basic obedience, including fun tricks to keep them engaged. My full-time job keeps me surrounded by dogs who come in and out of the office. I also have a deep understanding of senior dog care, puppy care and canine nutrition, ensuring every pup in my care gets the best possible attention. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me hiking with my dogs or planning our next dog-friendly adventure. I don’t have human kids, but my dogs are my world, and I’ll treat yours like family too! I currently have a full time job that I work 4 days a week so I’m available 3 days a week - Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. I will abide by the owners preference on letting their dog out as I understand everyone has their own way of handling this. If their yard is fenced and a simple open the door and go - that’s a plus but more than happy to put the leash on and go around!
“Amazing service. She came out to meet my dog prior to the first walk I booked, and was very polite. professional, and thorough with her questions. I felt very confident in her abilities- and let’s be real, we are all a little nervous leaving our pets in the care of strangers, especially for the first time. She was also very flexible when some last minute things popped up and I needed her help with the pup on very short notice. 10/10.”
“Excellent with my dog. He loves her and cries from excitement when he sees her. She is very good at letting him do the things he enjoys. Cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you Loren!!!!”
“Our little Leia loved Kristine. Kristine kept us updated the whole time, sent plenty of pictures throughout, and a great summary at the end. She was very respectful of our home. We are new to Rover and this was a GREAT 1st experience. We already booked her for another date.”

“Thank you”
About: Since I was young I have always been drawn to caretaking of animals, and so whenever a neighbor or friend went away I did the pet sitting in their homes! I am also currently studying conservation and wildlife management in university, and will be taking a multitude of caretaking classes that will help me take care of your animals as well. I currently have availability all throughout the week, and will be able to drop by to take care of your pets whenever their normal routine calls for. If any unplanned events occur I will communicate ASAP with clients. When I care for pets in their homes, I prioritize the wellbeing of the animal, including comfort and routine. I will follow their day-to-day feeding and exercise schedules while also giving the animals some love! I will also keep owners up to date with pictures, and will reach out with updates if needed!
