“Timothy was awesome! He responded super quickly even though it was a last-minute request, and everything went really smoothly. He took my dog Theo on a great walk, and I could tell he really cared. Highly recommend!”
“Jacquelyn is professional and was able to work with me on a last minute request! Easy to communicate with and our little dog loves her! She truly is the best!”
“Patsy was amazing! She walked my dog three times a day while I was out of town and gave me total peace of mind. Great communication throughout, very trustworthy, and she took such good care of my boy. I could tell he was happy and well looked after. Highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again!”
“Karlie was great with my dog, who is not the best with strangers. She arrived on time, was very communicative, sent me several pictures and updates on the visit, and took great care of my pet. Highly recommend!”
About: I love animals of all shapes, sizes, and kinds! From a young age I worked with animals, volunteering at the animal shelter, raising three labs with my family, and sitting for other people’s pets! I’m between jobs this summer and have open availability! I’m an early riser so can be available for early morning walks and drop-ins as well. I will get to know your pet to determine the care style they want - whether it’s lots of pets and affection or more peaceful coexistence. For walks I’ll adapt to their pace!
“She was very prompt with communication and proficient with getting it scheduled last minute. I can tell she took great care of the babies while I was away. Provided the cutest pictures while we were away. Thank you!”
“Chelsea was amazing!! This was my first time leaving Bella home while away on vacation. I couldn't have picked a better person to check in on her. She sent many photos and I could tell my Bella was having a blast. Chelsea even stopped by extra times when she was nearby to spend time with Bella. I highly recommend trusting her with your fur babies!”
About: Mom of two very stubborn Shiba Inus and one very precious kitty. My kitty is special needs (asthma, heart disease, urinary problems…) so I’ve learned to administer meds, inhaler, and injections in the process. My two Shibas keep me busy and on my toes constantly. But I have also worked with reactive fosters and one-on-one with trainers for socializing dogs. I am a full-time medical student, which means my schedule is flexible and I can fit caring for your babies into my schedule easily. You can count on me to be there whenever you need. I have two dogs and a cat at home, so safety is very important to me. Your baby will be under supervision at all times when they are with me. My Shibas have gotten into things they shouldn’t have in the past, so that will not happen under my watch again. I love playing with animals. If I’m watching your pet, you can be sure that they will be fully entertained.
“Cheyenne is A+++ all star above and beyond!! I know shiner looks forward to seeing her everyday and she does such a great job with him! She’s extremely communicative and always provides thorough daily summaries of their time together with pictures and videos. Makes me so happy to know he’s in such caring hands!”
About: I’ve grown up with small and medium sized dogs that i loved taking care of from puppy to old age. I’ve taken care of my neighbors and friends dogs/cats for a couple years. I currently own a cat, and I know how to administer oral medication to cats and dogs if needed. I love animals and understand the care and trust you need to put into those who care for your pets. Im currently a college student with mostly online classes so I have lots a time to play and cuddle with your pets! I’m able to pet sit and do overnight stays on weekends and most weekdays. I can take your dog on walks or play in your backyard if you have fenced area. I’ll also play with them inside if it’s too hot or raining hard. I’ll keep the fur babies company for as long as needed.
“Mikayla was the sweetest walker! She was eager to meet my Koko and she showed up each time promptly and with treats! Koko loves going on their walks together! We will definitely be booking again!”
“Anna is great! I trust her with my baby and will even take super late requests. If you cannot be home and need your little one to be taken for a walk, I would pick her over anyone in the area.”
“Lindsey walks our dog weekly. Our dog loves her! Lindsey lets us know when she arrives at our house and leaves. She also sends pictures during their walk. Glad we found Lindsey!”
“Haley is the best!!! I am a very protective and anxious dog parent and don’t trust many people with my pup. Haley is one person that I know I can 100% trust and depend on to give my dog the best care. I use Haley a few times a week to walk my dog while I’m at work and I have total peace of mind knowing Haley is taking care of him while I’m gone. She goes above and beyond just walking him- she always checks water, gives treats as instructed and always follows any other instructions given. She sends lots of pictures and detailed reports of how the visit went. It’s obvious she truly cares about our pup! She is extremely responsive and quick to accept bookings and booking modifications. We feel very fortunate to have found someone so dependable, kind and sweet to our boy. Thank you Haley!!”
“It’s not easy being Sonny’s friend, but Annie has been so patient and understanding of his stranger danger. She’s happy to discuss your dog’s anxieties, favorite treats, and works hard to build a bond with them above and beyond any dog sitter. Annie is reactive dog approved!”
“We book with Dani every time we need someone because she is the best at communicating and telling me any important details. This time I was gone for a trip over 4 days and I felt very calm knowing my dog was well taken care of by Dani!”
“Olivia was great with my new rescue. We are still learning his personality and quirks, and she quickly made friends. She sent me multiple updates and pictures. Most importantly, she was able to troubleshoot on her own. She was quick to respond to my initial message and kindly guided me through my first Rover exchange. No notes. Highly recommend.”
