About: Hi! I’m Julia and dogs have always been an important part of my life. I grew up with an Old English Sheepdog that I miss dearly, and caring for her showed me how amazing it is to have a strong bond with a pet. Over the years, I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to care for their dogs. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have a flexible schedule and would love the opportunity to help care for your pup! I’m currently applying to graduate school and have a very open schedule. I’m available most weekdays and am often available on weekends, allowing me to provide flexible care for your pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own. I strive to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether we're going for a walk, playing, or simply keeping a routine, I focus on making sure your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I'll also keep you updated so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Taylor has been a gem! She was available super last minute to walk my pup for me and has now offered to take her to the dog park for extra playtime 🙌🏻 I’ll def continue to use her services!”
“Angela was great. She asked for a meet and greet prior to the walk, a thoughtful gesture. She is a good communicator and on time. Pepe (our pup) loved her, and we could tell she has plenty of experience with animals. We knew our pup would be in good hands. She showed up on time for his 1 hour walk. Sent a couple photos, and promptly updated us after the walk. We would definitely use Angela again, don’t hesitate to book with her!”
About: For us, this isn’t just dog sitting it’s a second home. We don’t treat dogs like bookings or numbers. Every dog that stays with us becomes part of the family, receiving plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day. We provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel comfortable, especially those who may be shy or adjusting to a new place. We’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for the past three years, with stays ranging from one week to as long as two months. We’re happy to provide recommendations if needed. We also have a friendly 5-year-old mini Goldendoodle mix at home, so your dog will always have a companion to play with and feel at ease. We keep owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you’ll always have peace of mind while you’re away. What truly sets us apart is the consistency and genuine care. We treat every dog like our own. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine, as we’re home most of the time and able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. We plan our schedule around their needs, including regular potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and rest. Our whole family is involved in caring for the dogs. We have a 24-year-old son and a 19-year-old daughter, so there’s almost always someone at home to provide attention, supervision, and companionship. Dogs are never left alone for long periods, and we make sure they feel included in our day-to-day activities. Whether it’s relaxing indoors, supervised outdoor time, or just being nearby, they’re always cared for and watched over. On a weekly basis, we keep things consistent so dogs can settle into a routine quickly, which helps them feel comfortable and secure during their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. In our home, we provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can relax and feel at ease. We primarily care for small to medium-sized dogs, allowing us to maintain a calm, safe, and more personalized setting. We take time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs so we can care for them accordingly. We supervise dogs closely throughout the day and never leave them unattended for long periods. Our home is a great fit for dogs who enjoy companionship, consistency, and a quieter environment. We’re experienced with longer stays, ranging from one week to as long as two months, and we help dogs settle in comfortably as if they’re part of the family. We’re also comfortable caring for senior dogs and administering time-sensitive medication, including an 11-year-old Maltese we regularly care for who requires medication twice daily. We follow all feeding instructions carefully, ensure fresh water is always available, and maintain a consistent schedule for potty breaks, playtime, and rest. If needed, we can separate dogs to keep everyone safe and stress-free. Communication is very important to us, so we provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. Above all, we offer a true home environment with consistent, attentive care—we treat every dog like our own.
“Nikki very much loves what she’s does and you can tell that by the way that she interacts with our dogs. She spends extra time with them, teaches them commands, sends us great videos and photos.”
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs and took care of them since they were puppies. I love being active with dogs, hanging out with them and giving them love! I sleep with my dog every night he is a very happy and loved boy. I mostly go on hikes with him or play at the park with a toy. I have never not had a dog, I would love to earn some extra money and hang out with dogs in my free time! I trained my dog simple obedience tricks and would be willing to train a puppy or a full grown dog. I don’t mind staying over night and house sitting with the dog when needed or simply walking it when you guys can’t! I work full time but am available on weekends or nights after I am off of work. I can work around your schedule as well! I currently live in an apartment but have a decent sized fenced balcony, my complex has a big fenced dog park as well that I go to everyday.
“James was great! He was very communicative and took great care of my dog. He was always on time and provided detailed updates after the walks. Super flexible for my changing schedule, would highly recommend!”
About: Animals have always trusted me, and I take that seriously. I've cared for pets in all stages of life—whether it’s a high-energy pup needing structure or an older cat who just wants safe and spacious company. I pay close attention to each animal’s unique temperament and needs, and I’m often told I bring a calming presence. Friends and family have relied on me for years to step in when they’re away, knowing their pets—and their homes—will be treated with care and respect. I am a musician and work my own hours. This to say that I am uniquely available to meet the needs of your pet- routine included. I take great care to create a calm, gentle, attentive environment that feels safe and familiar for animals. I pay close attention to their routines, signals, and comfort zones. I am someone who insists on clarity. I understand the importance that instructions are clearly understood and for you to feel the comfort of that while you’re away. I communicate clearly, efficiently, and effectively. It takes a real trust to leave your animals and your home in someone else's hands, and I take that responsibility with utmost seriousness—treating your space and your companion with the respect they both deserve.
“OMG, Kendall is AMAZING! We used Rover for the first time while we were out of town and needed someone to walk our dog, Mimi, and do check-ins. From the moment we met him, we could tell Mimi was in great hands! Kendall sent us the cutest pictures, videos, and updates every visit – you could see how happy Mimi was! It was such a relief to know she was not just cared for but really enjoying herself. Kendall went above and beyond, and we were able to relax knowing our sweet baby angel was with someone who genuinely cared. Highly, highly recommend Kendall – he’s the best!!”

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Heidi! From the moment we left for our vacation, she made us feel completely at ease knowing our puppy was in such caring and capable hands. Heidi was exceptional with communication, providing regular updates, thoughtful messages, and plenty of adorable photos that helped us stay connected to our little one while we were away. Her updates gave us tremendous peace of mind and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pup at home. What impressed us most was how Heidi consistently went above and beyond. When our puppy experienced a bit of an upset stomach, Heidi thoughtfully purchased some pumpkin to help her feel better. She also took the initiative to clean up the poop in our side yard, which was incredibly appreciated and certainly not something we expected. These small acts of kindness demonstrated just how much she genuinely cares about the pets and families she serves. Heidi also spent time working on leash training with our energetic, curious puppy—a task that is not always easy! Her patience, dedication, and willingness to reinforce good habits showed her commitment to our dog's well-being and development. It is clear that Heidi is passionate about what she does and truly loves the animals she cares for. We are beyond grateful for the exceptional care she provided and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and dedicated pet sitter or dog walker. Thank you, Heidi, for taking such amazing care of our girl. We look forward to booking with you again in the future! 🐾❤️
I’m so grateful to have found Taylor! My pups adored her from the moment they met her, and they wait with enthusiasm for her to take them for their daily walkies. They come home tired and happy. Taylor is super professional, great with communication, passionate about her work, and incredibly knowledgeable about dog behavior and needs. She takes adorable and hilarious walk photos and I love the daily notes about how everything went. Taylor is awesome!
Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our little guy during his walk! 😍 He may look like a big boy on the outside, but he’s actually very timid on the inside—and we are so grateful that you approached building a connection with him with such gentle sensitivity. 🙏🏻 Next time, we’ll definitely come straight back to you! 😉
