“Kathleen was awesome! She met with me and my pup before our first booked date. She listened to my shpeal about my pup and didn’t mind my nervousness. I have a high-energy and high-needs dog who is not for everyone, but Katie brought her A-Game! My pup was so excited to see her every day after their initial meeting. When she needed to change the schedule, she was very communicative. We definitely want to book her again! - Finley, human to Maisie Moo the American Foxhound”


“Christof is excellent! I moved to the area and last minute needed to find a new dog walker. I contacted Christof the night before and he helped my dog the next afternoon! He let me know in advance his availability which I appreciate greatly because I am a planner. He follows all of my instructions perfectly and takes into account my dog's senior age, quirks, the weather conditions, etc. to make sure my dog is as safe as possible. Dogs are great judges of character and my dog has been happy with Christof from the moment they met. My dog and I are thrilled to have found Christof! I highly recommend him to anyone in need of pet care!”

“She is fantastic! She is now my weekly dog walker for my two dogs.”


“Richard was great! He was very accommodating and I felt very safe and comfortable leaving my Enzo in his care. He was thoughtful and even brought in my packages for me. Will definitely use him again!”


About: I limit the number of pets so they get personalized love and attention. From shy senior cats to high-energy puppies, I have had and worked with all ages and needs. I provide frequent updates catered to the owner’s request. I like to build trust through consistence and long-term relationships so your pet sees a familiar face and is happy. I am retiring from teaching and will have a part time work-from-home job and will have plenty of time for love and cuddles with your pets. I walk several times a day so your dog (or walking cat), gets plenty of exercise. I have a fenced in covered patio so they get plenty of fresh air! Again, I walk several times a day, have a park at the end of my road, I have a fenced in patio and there is a dog park within walking distance of my home. If they ride well in a car, I will take them to a big park for walks and dog park socialization. I have had dogs since I was born and cats all of my adult life. I have watched many animals for friends, families, neighbors, etc. I have had rabbits, turtles, fish, iguanas as well. I have a special place in my heart for animals.

About: I have a track record of nurturing and training puppies, ensuring they grow up well-behaved and happy. Additionally, I have the compassion and expertise needed to provide specialized care for senior pets, making sure their unique needs are met with love and attention. I am a remote student and work part time so I have a lot of free time. I am available in the morning Monday and Wednesday, Tuesday anytime after noon, Friday all day, and then free on the weekends. I prioritize the comfort and well being of all pets. This includes adhering to their regular feeding and exercise routines, ensuring they have fresh water, and providing companionship and playtime. I'm also attentive to any special needs or medical requirements they may have.

“Ashley has been walking Thor for a few months now and since she started Thor has had some medical issues requiring Ashley to give him a pill. In addition he’s become more difficult and picky with eating. Ashley has been extremely supportive through this making sure she does what she can to get Thor to eat and take his pill.”


About: I have taken care of cats for years for family, friends, and neighbors. I raised my own 2 cats from kittens to adulthood. Both of my own kitties require daily medication, so I am experienced with administering both pills and liquid medication. I love every single cat from the grumpiest babies to the cuddliest! :) I am new to dog sitting, but have watched dogs for friends and family. I absolutely love all furry friends! I am available to dog sit in clients homes, but am not able to board as I have two shy kitties at home. :) I currently have a hybrid work schedule, so I have lots of flexibility to play with your furry babies! I’m available both weekdays and weekends for care. I am a very loving, considerate, and clean cat and house sitter. I value keeping clients’ homes in immaculate condition, and caring for pets like they are my own.

About: I’ve walked dogs for friends and family and owned many animals that I cherish. I can walk you dogs, play with them, and cleanup any messes! I can work anytime of the day and can do nights as I have a flexible schedule can work short or long days and weekends! I can keep the home clean and do any tasks needed such as giving treats/food, clean up messes made and do any household tasks provided.


“Natalie made me feel like I could easily leave town & enjoy myself knowing Ozzy was being well cared for! Not only does she have a great vibe that I picked up on, but Ozzy did as well. She walked him, played with him, & fed him while I was away. I would 100% recommend her services!”


“Maddi is absolutely wonderful! She brings such a positive energy and we so appreciate the care attention she gives to Mom’s dog Brady. So grateful for her help!”


About: I've taken care of many pets in my life. Cats, dogs, and even ferrets. I love all animals no matter the size. I have always wanted to care for animals all my life. I also love to take pet Portraits and keep my clients updated whenever needed! I currently work Monday to Friday 8 am to 4 pm. I'm available after 4pm every Monday to Friday. Most Weekends I'm available all day I clean my fur babies litter box every day to keep a healthy environment. I tend to brush their fur twice a week and always give them lots of love every day!

About: I've lived with animals pretty much my entire life. I've had two dogs, two rats, a mouse, a ferret, and seven cats total. I often pet sit my friends and families dogs and cats and even guinea pigs and geckos. So while I don't have any trained professional experience in pet care, I do have an abundance of personal experience. I absolutely adore animals so I will do my best to treat yours with as much care as I have. This is my full time job so I will be available for all of my listed services every day of the week from 8 am - 10 pm preferably in day light hours. I am very flexible with my hours so I can prioritize your schedule. While walking your pet I will remain vigilant to ensure its safety.

About: Animals have always loved me ever since I was a kid. I’ve been taking care of dogs for my neighbors, my parents, and my grandparents since around 2018. I’m currently job searching so my schedule is wide open. Once I start working full time again, I’ll have evenings available on weekdays and all day on weekends. I make sure they receive as much attention as they need and I follow given instructions to a tee. I try to do some kind of outdoor activity with them. I’ve found that playing with dogs outside rather than inside is safer and more fun for the dog.

About: My girlfriend and I love taking care of dogs! We have a large layout in our apartment for dogs to run around in and explore, but we also have a side yard with a chain that the dog can explore as well! We have lots of treats and would love to host your dogs! My girlfriend and I are moving to Austin so my schedule is very flexible right now. I am working as an uber driver right now until our lease is up in a few months! We have a completely separate office room in our apartment that your dogs can stay in. We have a dog bed and area for them to sleep as well as plenty of treats! Also a chain outside for them to run around and play with the toys with have for them!
