“Maddy is great! We use her services weekly, and appreciate her reliability and compassion. You can tell that she really enjoys her time spent around animals. Highly recommend!”

“Bailey is always excited to see Deitra and David. They are very kind and are working to encourage him to walk without pulling on the leash. He’s more content for the rest of the day after he has had his walk.”

“Steph was extremely easy to work with and took amazing care of our dog. She was incredibly accommodating as was able to work around our schedule without any issues. She made us feel very comfortable and safe leaving our dog with her, and we would happily book with her again. Thank you so much for your help, Steph!”

“Argelia had a great first walk with my dog. I appreciate her patience while we sorted out access to the unit. She provided a thorough update/report following the dog walk with lots of cute photos. You can certainly tell that she takes her job seriously and cares.”


“Fernanda was very professional and amazing with our mini dachshund! He is a very stubborn and loud puppy but she made him feel very comfortable and took care of him. I highly recommend Fernanda for any dog needs you may have! Thank you and we can’t wait to book you again!!”

About: I grew up in a pet loving home, where at any given time we had at least two cats and one dog living under our roof. As young as 12 years old, I was entrusted by neighbors to pet sit, and I took part in caring for and training my own family pets. I now have 4 cats and a dog of my own, and I promise to love and care for your fur babies as I would for my own. I’m currently working part time as a dog groomer, however my schedule is very unstructured, so it changes from week to week. Usually however, I’m only working 2-3 days a week, which leaves my schedule wide open to spend my days with your fur babies! I am unable to care for any additional animals in my own home, however I would be more than happy to watch your babies in your home! I would ensure your home was treated with respect and would do my part in keeping it clean. I’d be able to crate your pups if desired, as well as clean litter boxes, as well as any other care-taking tasks required.
“Ashley was fantastic! She was available for a last minute walk, and did such a great time with Lincoln - she was patient and helped him get some much needed outside time! Thank you Ashley!”

“I am so glad I found Sam for my two guys, Lucky and Charlie. She is so good with them! They really love her and her adorable kids, who help her out sometimes! Sam is prompt and has been able to be flexible. She's a keeper. Thanks Sam!”


“Alexandra is friendly and knowledgeable about dog walking/care and was flexible in taking care of Winston on short notice. Alexandra was timely in her visits, provided full details on her visit including photos. We would recommend Alexandra to others and will use Alexandra in the future. Thanks Alexandra.”


About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with a giant breed dog and three cats, currently have two cats of my own, and I am an animal shelter volunteer! I’m comfortable with dogs of any size and temperament (both laid-back cuddle bugs and high-energy dogs that need extra exercise and attention). Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone nearby to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make their time with me stress-free and fun! I just graduated college and my full time job doesn’t start until mid July, so other than the occasional hanging out with friends, I have a wide open schedule! I am extremely flexible and will follow the owner’s usual routine as much as possible. I am comfortable with leashed walks as well as supervising dogs in fenced yards — I will not walk dogs off-leash or leave unsupervised in yards. I am happy to take dogs on adventures or just chill, but for the most part I am happy to do whatever the owner prefers!
About: What sets me apart is that I’m not just a sitter—I’m a dog mom myself, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with genuine love, patience, and attention to detail. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I’m here to give them the same care and comfort they’d get at home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’m available for early morning walks, midday drop-ins, and evening snuggles. I also offer overnight care for those who need a loving presence while they’re away. My routine can easily be tailored around your pet’s feeding, walking, and potty schedule. Pet care is a huge part of my life — it’s not something I fit in, it’s something I prioritize. From daily walks with my own dogs to checking in on client pups, I dedicate specific time each day to ensure every dog gets quality care, play, and attention. I always plan my day around their needs, not the other way around. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, safety and comfort always come first. I create a calm, structured environment and supervise interactions closely. I keep a close eye during walks, use secure leashes, and never leave pets unattended. In your home, I respect your space and routines, following any special instructions you leave. I also send plenty of updates, photos, and videos so you always feel connected and reassured.
“Brigette saved the day! She took my puppy on 2 walks and persisted when my door was giving her some trouble. I appreciate the updates and pictures. Will book again 😊”

Jasper is absolutely amazing and I would recommend him without hesitation he has been with my miniature golden doodle for over a year and the love he has for animals is truly a blessing in our lives! He is patient kind and a great teacher. Thank you for everything you do each day enriching our lives.

She was so kind and such a joy to meet! We feel really good about trusting her with our dog and home! Right away she connected with our doberman and you can tell she has a lot of knowledge and experience! We are looking forward to working with her for walks and out of town stays!

This was our second booking with Kasey. She was easy to work with and great with our 3 dogs. She was quick to recognize their preferences and skilled at meeting individual needs. Our dogs clearly enjoyed their time with her and they napped/slept well after her visits.

This was my first time having Hayleigh walk my dog, and it was a great experience. My dog liked her right away, which is always a good sign. She was kind, responsive, and very responsible. I’m really glad I found her and will definitely use her again when I’m traveling for work. Thanks, Hayleigh ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
