3. Tori W.
“Tori did a great job with our nervous pup. She listened to him in the heat and took him to hang in the yard instead of trying to walk him too far once he was done his business. He warmed up to her right away and she took good care of him.”

“Nadia is a caring animal lover that shows love to all pets she comes across. Nadia is a very nuturing young lady and I feel 100% confident in her taking care of my pet.”
11. Layla F.
“Layla was wonderful to work with. Our boy was waiting for her every day to go on his walk. Layla was very dependable. One day she got to the house and the house sitter didn't answer the door. Layla reached out to us not only concerned about getting Beau for his walk, but concerned that something might be wrong with the house sitter. Fortunately there was a good ending, just a little miscommunication. Others may have just said, "no one here" and gone on with there day. Not Layla. We will definitely call on her again. She loves our Beau and he loves her! Thank you Layla!!!”

About: Like many here, furry family members have perpetually been in my life. Additionally, I have extensive experience with pets outside of my home. I recently left my career of 5yrs managing a high capacity pet boarding facility to return to college. My first job was caretaker at a private animal rescue and have volunteered at many others. I gained experience with a myriad of creatures including: dogs, cats, small creatures, horses, and even a pet pig. Between those jobs, I would regularly petsit as well. Working with animals on both a large and small scale has given me experience in handling skittish pets, senior pets, emergency situations, medication administration, and more. Animals have always been a passion of mine, and I hope to meet some of your fur family members! I am a pre-med student. At the moment, my schedule is in a transition period as the new semester kicks off. I'm a full time student and I attend clinical hours, while I'm not with your pup. Send me a message if you want to know my most up to date availability. ***RETURNING PET PARENTS*** I do have many of my days manually blocked off. I am not accepting new pups during those times, but I may be able to still accommodate your fur family members. It's good to see you again, and feel free to reach out. I live near many parks, trails, and have a dog park in my neighborhood. Hiking is a hobby of mine, and I would gladly take your fur family member on an adventure with me. Safety is a priority for me, so the method of securing and leashing your pet will be discussed on a case by case basis. For example, I will ensure that a loose collar is adjusted, harness is fitted, and/or skittish pets have a backup system.
13. Marina & Carlos R.
“Marina & Carlos go above & beyond. They made our dog Pepper feel comfortable and us as well! We are happy to have met such amazing people who are able to help. Don’t hesitate to book them!”
14. Kelby S.
“Kelby was great! She was able to help out on short notice and was very attentive to Buddy. 10/10 recommend!”
15. Emili H.
“Very responsible, I hired Emily without knowing her, and after my vacation, I arrived at my house and my dog Stella was very happy and very well cared , excellent professional, I recommend Emily to take care of any kind of pets”
16. Ella K.
“Ella watched my 3 furry friends for 2 weeks while my family and I were out of town. She regularly sent us updates and took them on many walks and provides much tlc. She’s is the best!”
17. Lani H.
“Lani was great! She made time for a meet and greet before the walk. Bean seemed really excited to see her in the pics she sent me. Thanks Lani!”
18. Alexandra D.
“Alexandra is the best! I can really put my mind at ease when I know she's going to be walking my dog. I only wish I had found her sooner.”
19. Casey I.
“Casey truly cares for and loves, not just her pets, but any animals around her. She thinks about all the details that can genuinely make the pet she is caring for as comfortable and adored as much as she can. It is easy to see how great her communication is with the pet’s parents, but also, how well she matches her energy to the animal, whether they need high energy or more calmness. I would be honored to have her take care of my pets and you will feel that too.”
20. Kelly S.
“Kelly has cared for our dog on many occasions. It’s always such a relief to leave him in the hands of a responsible dog lover, someone we know will be loving him as much as we do! Could not recommend her more!”
