“Tara was great for weekly walks for our dog! She is very reliable, responsive and knowledgeable of dogs. Would highly recommend for dog walking in our area! We had a schedule change with WFH and no longer need standing weekly walks, otherwise would continue to use. Our dog loves Tara!”
“Sarah was awesome at accommodating a last min walk and was so sweet with my pup. She asked great questions and was nice enough to leave out fresh water for my dog when she left. We look forward to having Sarah help again soon!”
About: I’ve had a Shitzu for over 10 years and he has been my best friend! I have experience walking and taking care of family and friends dogs over the years and I enjoy every minute I have with their pet. I work full time Monday through Friday, 7am to 3:30pm but Iam available after those hours. I’m also totally free during the weekends. Iam more than happy to find ways to fit into your schedule. I have an open yard with room for fun and a park walking distance away. Iam happy to take care of your friend at any location and my goal is to take care of your dog in any way!
About: Hi! I've had gerbils, fish and dogs growing up, fostered ducks, snakes and guinea pigs and house sat for the occasional cat (and house plants). My current living situation doesn't allow for me to have pets, but I'd love to spend time helping take care of yours I'm taking a break from engineering to get my EMT certification. I'm available all the time until class starts in May, when I'll be spending the weekday mornings in class I can't host in my home, (roommates with pet allergies) but I'm happy to drive (or train or bus or walk) to see yours in their space.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who started pet sitting as a teen and never stopped! I’ve raised puppies and adopted senior dogs, so I’m comfortable with zoomies, slow strolls, and everything in between. I treat every pet like family and will care for yours with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Pets truly make the world a happier place, and I’d be honored to care for yours! I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits Friday–Monday. I offer flexible daytime scheduling and can accommodate some evenings with advance notice. I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s routine! When I care for your pet, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I follow your routines and house rules closely so your pet’s schedule stays consistent and stress-free. Each visit includes attention, playtime, and lots of affection, always tailored to your dog’s personality and needs. I’m very clean, organized, and respectful of your home. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your space, and I treat every home the same way I treat my own. Pets truly make the world brighter, and I would love to care for yours with the same patience, warmth, and love I give my own. 💛🐾
About: I love all pups and will treat your fur babies as my own 🐾 I have been caring for big dogs since I was a child and have always had a love for them. I also have previous experience working at a doggie daycare, with dogs all breeds, ages, and sizes. I have a somewhat flexible schedule and will be home with your pups to follow their bathroom and feeding schedule and get lots of play time and cuddles while they’re in my care! I wake up around 7 am, feeding and bathroom routine, play time and walks throughout the day. I can also stick to any routine needed. There is currently one dog in my home, so I will only be caring for one additional dog at a time. My apartment complex has grassy areas for bathroom time, and I have plenty of room for your dog to play and rest. Neighborhood walks are also available.
“Lauren was wonderful! She walked my miniature poodle and my son's bernedoodle together! I find that very impressive. She shared pictures with us did everything we asked. Very nice.”
“Su was absolutely wonderful with Giro. Giro, that is usually poo shy with new people very quickly felt very comfortable 😃 which is a wonderful sign. Thank you Su! We would definitely love to have you walk Giro again”
“The dogs loved Eryn as soon as they met her, and she was up to the challenge of managing their chaos. She even convinced the pup who is convinced that she will melt in the rain to go for a rainy day walk! She was communicative and flexible and we would definitely hire her again!”
“Calvin has taken my very energetic 5 month old puppy for a few half hour walks while my husband and I are at work. Calvin always makes sure to update us and send cute pics of their walk!”
About: Our dog, Chapin, passed away a few years ago but lived a wonderful 15 years with us. For those 15 years, Linda Keenan was our “go-to” caregiver for weekday visits to check-in on him, take him outside and give him attention during our workdays. She was consistently reliable, conscientious, caring and loving to Chapin. I am available Monday through Friday from 12pm to 5pm. I would come by your home so your pet may have a bathroom break. Then I would provide some play time. I will come to your home to make sure that your pet is able to be in their familiar environment for bathroom and play time.
