“Dmitra is the best!!! She walks our goldendoodle Griffin twice a week and is really amazing with him! Because of our schedules I usually have to tell her only a day or two in advance which days we need her help each week and she’s always really flexible and great about it! We also have cats that like to try to sneak out of the house, and she’s great about keeping an eye on them to make sure they stay in while she takes Griffin out for his walks. So glad we found her!!!”

About: I have always had dogs growing up, and I have been watching other dogs for many years. I work with both big and small dogs. I work Monday through Friday 9-5 but i am available before and after work as well as weekends. I am also available Wednesdays all day I believe in taking things slow and earning trust. Animals deserve to be respected in their homes, and I think this is key to good vibes
“Alex was great! I introduced him to both of my dogs, and I think they senses his calm, chill vibe and were into it. I am planning to reach back out to him in the coming weeks for walking and house sitting.”
“Annie has been doing an amazing job of taking my dog on walks during my work days. My dog has been very anxious lately and developed some new fears and Annie has done a great job working with her despite those challenges.”

“I forgot to accept the walk on my end and Jordan was so kind and did her best to contact me and even rescheduled on her end to ensure that my dog was walked. I was so busy at work and I can’t thank her enough!”
About: I have a dog of my own, a Shih Tzu that I have personally cared for a decade. So walking is no problem at all, I’m used to it. There is also my cat Momo that I have since 2023. I also have worked at a doggy daycare place so I have worked with multiple dogs at once and fed them on time. Also took them for walks and will clean their paws afterwards. I even keep them entertained by giving lots of cuddles and toys to keep their minds active. This really helps when they are just stuck in a room bored waiting for their owners. This sets me apart from others because not only do I have personal experience, I experienced it on a professional level that I know how to handle things efficiently. Every day I start with feeding my dog and cat then some playtime mid day with the cat because the dog is quite old now. Then I end the day with a second meal for them and cleaning up the litter box and the pee matt for the senior dog I have to do the most care with my dog since he has dry eyes so it is a daily repetitive task of giving him his eye medication.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 9 years old, our house was always the go-to sitters for the neighborhood. I love and care for all animals as if they were my own. From walks to feeding to bath time, I have experience in all areas of pet care. I am currently a full time student in college although I do spend weekends at home. I have no job at the moment and wanted to explore my passion for animals this summer and plan to continue throughout the school year. I have two dogs of my own and two cats at my house so I have experience in different types of pets. We have raised our dogs since pups and trained them so I have experience in all age ranges. I am willing and able to follow the instructions given by the pet parent to care for their pet as best I can.
“Rosie and Rory immediately took to Ashley. They enjoy spending their days with her. She is very attentive to their needs and is doing some additional training with them. We’ve done walking, drop ins and doggy daycare. We will definitely continue to work with Ashley.”
About: I love animals, but my roommate is allergic! So I was hoping to get some time in with yours. :) I grew up with long haired weiner dogs in the family. I love playing with my friends’ pets and sometimes bring my parents to my house for a week or so to give them some respite. I like dogs of all sizes and have become familiar with cats in the past few years-taking care of my friend’s two kitties. My schedule is fairly open right now, as I am job searching and attempting to go back to school for a Masters in Social Work! I am happy to go to your home to care for your pets in their environment. I’m unable to keep them in my home for long periods of time, due to my roommate being allergic. I am happy to transport them in my car to & from appointments or trails/parks for some extra exercise!
About: I have taken care of many dogs (all sizes) along with cats. I enjoy going on walks and doing whatever makes the dogs happy. I am a huge animal lover and enjoy cuddles with the fur babies. I am a college student so I will have to coordinate with the owner for a pet care schedule so we can meet both of our needs! I am also willing to negotiate prices! I clean up after my animals and animals I have watched right away and make sure they always have food and water. If I have to stay at a clients home I will wash the sheets I use and tidy up the place before I leave.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, ranging from dogs and cats to horses and pigs. I have trained two family puppies. I’ve done cat rescues for about 8 years, and I also have had my own cat, minerva :) Pet care fits into my daily routine as a cat owner, as I ensure she always has food and water. We also cuddle everyday, and have lots of playtime. Several times a week, I clean her litter box so that it’s never too dirty. In my own home and any others, I like to spend a lot of quality time with the pets present. When I’m home, my cat Minerva is glued to my side most of the time. When I visit my parents, I still get to see my dogs from home that I helped raise and train. I’m also working on harness training my cat.

Wei C.
“Karen is a great pet owner, she’s had two pets, one dog that’s currently very old and a more recent kitten that they’ve started to care for. She is really wonderful, always making sure that they are properly cared for, buying toys that better suit their needs, ensuring that they have been given their medicine and food on time, playing with and petting them. She really loves them and makes sure that they know that. She would be a wonderful caregiver to any pet.”
Jayne D.
“Jayne is a phenomenal dog walker. She has pets of her own and is kind and loving of all animals. She keeps pets safe and makes them all feel loved. She has a heart of gold when it comes to animals. She takes care of huge dogs and small ones with ease. I’d highly recommend her.”

Diana F.
“Diana is a responsible and respectful adult to take care of your pet. Growing up with a family pet has given Diana the skill set required to tend to animals. She is able to handle the duties of walking, feeding, exercising, playing, and loving your animal. She has watched my pets multiple times. I never stress when she is with them because I know they are getting the proper care, love, (and possibly some extra cuddles). You will be thrilled with your decision of choosing Diana to take care of your pet.”
Sarah F.
“Sarah stayed has provided our farm and indoor pets to include a dog, reptile, bunny and horses with daytime & overnight care. She paid attention to details and loved our pets just as we would. So much our dog was sad when she left. During her final hours here a horse decided to be difficult and she was worried about the well-bring of the horse. Sarah communicated with me to figure out how to ensure the horse was safe in the field and took extra time to bring the horse into the stall. I highly recommend Sarah. She is punctual, responsible, able to handle directions and loving!”

Cooper enjoyed his walks with Alexandra , because he went with her the second day without hesitation . He loves being outside. I'm sorry it rained those 2 days and it was kind of miserable. Alexandra saved me, because I'm sick and didn't have the energy to walk Cooper.
