“Anna successfully walked our ultra-shy dog! She's very responsive and followed my excessively detailed instructions. We're definately booking more walks with her (:”

“Tess took great care of my girl Luna, arriving right on time and with prompt communication along the way. I appreciated the pics and updates from their walks as well, it made me feel a lot better going out of town to know that she was well taken care of!”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have cared for my own golden retriever, Sunny, since he was a puppy. Sunny is now 5 years old, well-behaved, and friendly with other pets. My experience includes daily walks, playtime, and creating a safe, loving environment for dogs of all temperaments. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will get plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I walk Sunny twice daily—morning and evening—and love spending time outdoors. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays. I live in a one-level ranch-style home with a fully fenced-in backyard, perfect for safe outdoor play. My home is quiet, clean, and pet-friendly. Sunny is gentle and social, making him a great companion for visiting pets. I treat every dog like family and prioritize their comfort and safety.
“Mallory is great with our two pups - one is reactive the other has an injury. She handled both with care. She also sent detailed notes and lots of pictures! Super appreciative we found her!”

About: Hi there! My name is Gaby and my partner’s name is Sawyer and if you’re looking for someone to love your baby(ies) and treat them like their own - you’ve found the right people! We have both grown up surrounded by pets our whole lives, are currently proud dog parents to two boys, and have yet to come across a pet we aren’t obsessed with. We know how stressful it can be to trust someone with your fur baby so we try to ease any concerns as best we can with constant communication including updates and pictures so you never feel like your pet is too far! 🥰 My partner and I have both taken care of dogs of all kinds, from senior dogs to raising 3+ litters - we’ve seen it all and we’re not worried about getting our paws dirty. Our background with dogs means we are both comfortable administering medication and caring for any special needs. We’ve dealt with gentle giants, high energy pups, cranky senior dogs, and more. On top of that, we have a fenced in backyard for our furry guests to roam around in! I work from home every day so I will be with your pet all day, keeping them constant company! Aside from having the fenced in backyard which they will have access to, we go on at least two walks a day, sometimes a third in the afternoon depending on the heat. I have a fenced in backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your furry friend company. We have separate floors and rooms so we have more than enough space for crates and to keep dogs separate if needed! We are big snugglers though!!
“Riley was amazing! Helped me out on relatively short notice for a few days while I had to be away at work, she took great care of my two sweet, energetic girls and followed all of my instructions and even came over to meet the dogs and get acquainted beforehand! Would highly recommend!”

“I love booking Sydney as a repeat walker for my little dog! She’s been flexible and reliable and I will definitely book her services again in the future. My dog was so excited to see her again!”

“Literally the best ever. Walked him on the best holiday of the year (Halloween) on super short notice and still had an excited attitude toward walking my gremlin of a dog.”

“Devinder was absolutely amazing with my dog Slider! He was prompt when responding to my messages, and gave me complete reports with each dog walk. I felt comfortable with him entering my apartment, and will continue to use Devinder whenever I need my dog walked.”
“Sarah is great to work with! She is very responsive, professional, and kind. She takes great care of my pup on walks and is a great communicator. Very glad to have found her!”

About: I am a musician, property manager, & ex-software dev who enjoys taking care of animals. One of my favorite experiences was caring for a small farm (dogs, cats, horses, and chickens!) in Kentucky. I love taking dogs on walks around town & to explore the river! I am committed to consistent and clear communication; I place a high value on the professional relationship between house-sitter and host. I love sending daily updates as requested. I don't work during the day, so I can accommodate feedings, med delivery, walks, and playtime all day long! I try to structure my day around the client's schedule, so that the animals don't experience a disruption in their normal routine. I love doing overnight sits for pets in the environment they are most comfortable in — their own home. I find it easy to adapt to a pet’s schedule and routine and I love exploring new places around town via walks!
“Adora is absolute wonderful with my baby girl. She came through in a pinch for me, put me at ease about the care my dog-child was in, loved on her and got her some sunshine while I was stuck at work. Thank you, Adora!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been actively caring for them since the age of 10. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience dog sitting for neighbors by feeding, walking, playing with, and providing loving care for their pets. I’ve also taken full responsibility for my own dogs while my parents were away, such as handling everything from daily walks and meals to playtime, entertainment, and bathing. In addition to my lifelong dog experience (21+ years), I also have two years of hands-on experience caring for cats. In fact, cats were the very first pet I had completely on my own, which gave me a deep understanding of their unique needs and personalities. What truly sets me apart is my passion for animals and my dedication to going above and beyond. I’ve personally trained my dog from puppyhood, teaching commands such as sit, lay down, stay, shake, spin, and even standing on his hind legs. I’ve even successfully taught my cats to sit for treats and mealtime, which is proof that patience and positive reinforcement go a long way! I treat every pet as if they were my own, with love, respect, and careful attention to their individual needs. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior companion, or a shy cat, your pet will always be safe, loved, and well cared for in my hands. I'm currently working part time as a babysitter, so I have a lot of free time to play with your animals while you are away. I can come early in the mornings, during the afternoons, and at nighttime. My availability is best during the day where I can give your pets much playtime and attention that they may want or need. Nighttime is where I am a bit busier, but I can come later in the night around 7-8pm ish. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, following your routines for feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and any special needs. I provide loving, stress-free care, keep pet areas clean, and make sure your home is respected and secure. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort always come first.

About: Hey there! Im Julia. From a young age I have taken care of many dogs, cats, rabbits, & horses for my friends, family and neighbors. I have had experience house breaking and training several puppies in basics tricks such as sit, stay, roll-over and more! I also have experience with older dogs of up to age 14 both with my own pet and other’s pets. I understand the care and patience it takes for dogs of all ages and I will take the time to make sure your pet is comfortable and their needs are met. I am a full-time college student taking several classes online so I am often home and your pet is never alone for too long. : ) Regardless of whether I am taking care of pets in my home or in a client’s home the first thing I do is speak with the client about their expectations for me when watching their pet. Every pet is different and unique and require care tailored to their lifestyle and routine. Aside from setting and following expectations, I like to ensure that the pets are not only in a comfortable environment but also stay active though walks or playing parks. Being comfortable and active keeps you pet happy and healthy which is something I strive to do as a pet caretaker.
“I cannot recommend Sierra highly enough! My dog, Mickey, ran down the hall to meet her on her second visit. He’s never done that. She obviously had Mickey’s seal of approval immediately. Sierra is conscientious, very communicative, and extremely kind. She has my complete trust and respect, because she treats Mickey as if he were her own. To me that is the absolute best quality in a dog walker! Choosing Sierra as your dog walker is the absolute correct decision! Having Sierra walk your dog will keep you worry free and happy while your pup gets good exercise, has fun and is treated like family 😃”
