After my original dog walker no-showed for the walk-through that had been confirmed 8 hrs prior, I was in a pickle. We had 3 days to find someone to walk & feed our 3 dogs of varying ages and personalities. Kristine not only was available, she came to the walk through prepared with all the right questions to put us at ease. Jacqi, Caryn and Stevie can be a lot for anyone but she handled 8 days like a pro who genuinely cared. And to top it off we received at least 5 photos from every visit. We returned after a week away to happy and well cared for dogs and Kristine is the reason why. If you ever need a pet sitter, look no further!

Lyndsey was super! I requested her help late Monday night and she answered right away and was able to help us for the week starting the next day! She was super attentive, listened to my novels, and handled our new pup with ease despite his sometimes less than perfect behavior on walks. She showed up on time, paid attention to Hudson’s preferences, and was super communicative with me while I was away. I knew Hudson was in good hands and he now has a new friend both he and I appreciate more than we can say! We’ll definitely be using Lyndsey again and have already recommended her to friends!

Caroline was so great with June! She was available to walk her on short notice and not to mention on the coldest day of the year! Caroline also provided plenty of updates and pictures. You can rest assured your pup is in good hands with Caroline!

About: I have been around pets all my life I love to go on long walks, I believe that pets are our companions and should therefore be cared and treated as such. Going the extra mile for them means the world for me considering they are always there for us during both our highest and lowest moments in life. I am available daily for walks during the morning and afternoon. Being active is apart of my lifestyle and incorporating it by walking pets makes it even more enjoyable. I will keep an eye on all pets assigned to me which will not be a problem since I love playing with pets, and keeping them active. I will especially keep a close eye on puppies and kittens as I know from personal experience that they are very curious and need constant care.

5 STAR ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ experience — she was so kind, patient, and flexible, and sent beautiful photos throughout the walk. My dog came back super happy, and everything went so smoothly. Would DEFINITELY book her again. She also brought her own pup along, which was such a pleasant and much appreciated surprise since my dog does better with a support dog by his side.

About: I have grew up with animals since I was in my mommy’s belly. I was always taught to treat animals the way we treat our kids, neighbors, family members etc… at the end of the day our pets are our family and I stand by treating your family the same way I would want mine to be treated. Animals have shown me the true meaning of love, empathy and loyalty and I hope to give what I learned back to every animal trusted in my care. I have owned a german shepherd so I know how to be stern but playful when needed and that body language matters and has a great impact on how animals act and it’s important to show our best for them :) I currently go to school for ultrasound, I attended school M-W-F from 8am- 5pm. For the most part I am free after school and on Tuesday and Thursday all day, I give as much time as I can to my pets and want to be able to do the same for other people’s pets while also being able to help pay for tuition. I understand that animals have a schedule and getting off schedule can mess up the flow of everything with them, I am planning to make sure I can integrate whatever they need into the schedule made for them to continue to make things work the way they need to.

PJ is the BEST!!! He's super reliable, always on time, sends the best pictures, gives Chewbacca lots of love and attention and communicates just the right amount. No wonder Chewy loves him. Maybe a little too much?!? Makes me a little jealous actually. But what's better than knowing your dog loves seeing his "second best friend!" I know he's in great and caring hands with PJ!

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Currently, I have two cats of my own and I occasionally walk my friend’s dogs and check in on their pets when they’re away. I currently just graduated college with a biomedical sciences degree so I’m completely free this summer before I do my masters in Syracuse this fall! Depending on your cats personality, I’d either give them their space or play with them so they can release pent up energy! I’ll make sure they have everything they need and clear litter boxes as needed. I’m pretty good at following instructions, so if there’s anything specific that you’d like me to do, just leave me a list or send me a text!

About: I started working with pets at the start of the pandemic, when my mom surprised the household with an energetic and anxious goldendoodle. He was 50 pounds and 5 feet long, and insisted on peeing in every corner of the house. I dedicated myself to training him, and he now serves as a service animal for mental health disorders. In the last six years, I have worked with dogs of all breeds and sizes, rabbits, birds, and cats. I can't wait to get to know your fur-baby :) I am available everyday between the hours of 9:00am - 3:00pm, but am able to make other arrangements if needed. Please feel free to contact me if amended hours are needed! My services include providing multiple daily walks, food, potty breaks, and playtime with your pet (dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds) in your home. I am also able to train pets at all levels of obedience to perform a series of tricks ranging from sit to retrieving medications.

I was honestly really worried about hiring a dog walker because my dog is very reactive, but Tatiana has been amazing. She is not only professional, arrives on time, but clearly experienced, which has put me at ease. I especially love the detailed updates in the app—it shows me everything about my dog’s walk and gives me total peace of mind. After just one walk, my dog already gets excited to see Tatiana, which says everything. I’m so grateful to have found her and will absolutely continue to use her services. Highly recommend!

I want to give so much thanks to Stephanie and Corey for walking ocean while I was away on vacation. They were always on time and provided updates on oceans walk 🌊. Ocean doesn’t normally do well with new people so quickly. Corey was patient with ocean when picking him up with ease. If you want someone patient with your pup who is shy and nervous around new people. Corey and Stephanie are the people who will make your furry friend comfortable. Don’t look no more and book with them. Finally ℹ appreciate yall for walking my shy and nervous pup and look forward to working with yall in the future.
