“Melanie is great! She takes good care of my dog! She is always very punctual and follows all the instructions. My dog was really happy when she took her out! Definitely will choose her again next time!”


“Zhi was absolutely amazing with my dog! She was kind, friendly, playful, and went above and beyond everything I asked for. She made sure my dog was well taken care of by feeding him, taking him on a walk, and spending quality time playing with him at the park. I could tell she genuinely cared and treated him like her own. My dog loved her, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in great hands. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”

“Sydney is a very nice young lady and makes an effort to understand what your needs are and your pet’s needs too. My boy doggo sniffed her and liked her immediately. They went on a walk and he came back so happy. I appreciated the wonderful walk they had and Sydney’s care for my precious boy.”


About: I was raised with dogs since I was born, both foster dogs and dogs I've adopted. For dogs I've adopted, I've had Terrier mixes, Shepard mixes, and mutts. For fosters, I've had Pit mixes, Chihuahua mixes, Poodle mixes, Dachshund mixes...a lot of mixed breeds. Currently I have a senior Terrier mix and a middle-aged Shepard mix. I was also raised with cats, my task being to clean their litter boxes and feed them. I have had several cats throughout my life, starting with a tuxedo named Sammy when I was very young. Currently I do not have any cats, although I wish for one. On weekdays and weekends, the EARLIEST I can drop by for drop-ins and walking by is 10:30AM and the LASTEST I can drop by is 5:30PM. I have a very flexible schedule! I am available to walk and check-in on both weekends and weekdays. In my own home, I care for my dogs through feeding them, taking them on walks around the block and neighborhood, and playing with them. I offer the same thing for your pet(s). I will keep an eye on your animal(s) throughout my stay and take them for as many walks as you'd like me to. I am also happy to take them out more than the times specified. I will also make sure they are all fed on time and always have plenty of water to drink.
“I was very happy with Maryna as she was very friendly and was very reliable. She also took good care of our dog and he loved the walks. Will definitely repeat with her again.”

I know how to help them burn off steam safely so they come home calm and happy. My routine centers on consistency. I provide structured feeding at 7 AM and 6 PM, with three dedicated walking slots. Mid-day is reserved for active play and mental stimulation to ensure pets remain calm and engaged throughout the day. I maintain a "safety-first" environment by conducting daily hazard checks and ensuring all exit points are secure. In clients' homes, I strictly follow their specific protocols and provide frequent photo updates to build transparent, lasting trust with every pet owner.
“Seva has been wonderfully prompt and communicative. She has gone above and beyond in situations, such as cleaning up when my dog surprised her with a living room full of torn up shoes. Definitely recommended.”

Sydney is a very nice young lady and makes an effort to understand what your needs are and your pet’s needs too. My boy doggo sniffed her and liked her immediately. They went on a walk and he came back so happy. I appreciated the wonderful walk they had and Sydney’s care for my precious boy.

Tianyu was great at taking care of our high energy lab. She provided lots of pictures and videos and communicated well ensuring we don’t worry about our dog on our trip. All of Simba’s items were also very neatly kept on the counter when we got back. Overall great experience and we highly recommend!

Am adding the 5 stars to my prior review... Jamie is a mature, caring and capable pet person. We have a very anxious dog and Jamie was very understanding - taking the time to get to know him. It is very challenging to find someone who you can trust with your pets, and we are lucky to have found Jamie!
If you want a sitter who truly engages and connects with your dog, hire Connor. He is incredibly reliable and punctual, providing detailed summaries and photo updates. He’s even been helping me train Ruby on appropriate greetings. Ruby absolutely adores him and waits for his walks every day; I trust him entirely with her. It’s such a relief to have someone so kind and helpful. Thank you Connor for all your help!
Skye took care of my Shiba for the past week. She was reserved during the meet & greet, but she had incredible attention to detail and care. Not only did she take regular (and amazing) photos every day, she made sure to brush him regularly and feed him cold water from the fridge. It really felt like she was treating him as her own. Given Shiba commonly act like cats, if you have a dog or a cat, i have no doubt that she’ll take great care of them!

Jason was great! Came to meet Duke before officially being booked which I really appreciated and made me feel more comfortable. It was the first time leaving Duke alone since moving here so I was a bit stressed about it. Jason was super communicative, on time and kept me posted on everything. On one of the days Duke had a little accident inside the apartment and Jason without hesitation cleaned up, it also rained on a different day and made sure to dry him off and keep him comfortable, I just really appreciated the attention to detail. Definitely would recommend and I’m already rebooking him for additional dates.

Angelee was so helpful and kind! She was able to take a last minute booking and extend the time so my dog Millie would be occupied while I was on an important work interview. Millie was happy hanging out with her and she was great about any specific requests like making sure she stayed on leash. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her as a trusted resource to others.

For a couple of days Anke walked and fed Pepper. Upon first meeting it was immediately apparent that she understands and loves dogs. It was comforting to know that he was in great hands. Anke made sure all necessary arrangements were discussed. Easy communication, she provides updates on dog walks and answers texts promptly. Highly recommended.
