“I use Paula multiple times a week and she has been amazing! She takes such great care of my dog. Very easy to communicate and schedule with as well!”
“Dana is awesome! Our little guy doesn't really like strangers, but he accepted Dana almost immediately at our "meet & greet" - primarily because she is so knowledgeable about dog behavior and reads their body language so well. They quickly became fast friends. Her daily updates & comments are hysterical - it's as if she's simply conveying their thoughts in real time. We will definitely be booking Dana again going forward.”
“Madeline saved the day and accepted a last minute request when our usual dog walker was out of town. She was patient with our nervous pup and did a great job at making her feel comfortable!”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend her enough. Very prompt and reliable definitely an animal person-she interacted very well with my generally non social Shih Tzu.”
“Barbara is amazing for your dogs, you can't go wrong using her! I'm so thankful to have found her for our unique situation, it will work perfectly for our furbabies! Thanks so much Barbara!”
“I contacted Victoria without much.notice hoping to get somebody to walk my dog 2 times on a day where I was going to be gone for at least 12 hours. She had never met me or my dogs but took on the task. She was.able.to get my dogs out, hung out with them a bit in my yard, and for their second afternoon session she took them for a wooded hike and to a pet store for treats. She went above and beyond and my dogs were very pleased. Great job V.”
“Julia did a wonderful job with Maggie. She took extra care in making Maggie comfortable with her. Julia gave her lots of love and cuddles. I will definitely use Julia again.”
“Vivian has been our dog walker for the past couple months and has been getting along well with our dog Maxx. She communicates well and responds promptly. Maxx seems to really enjoy his walks with her by the cute pictures we get from the walk. My dog Maxx can easily be scared and doesn't always like to stay out long, but Maxx seems very comfortable with Vivian since he walks around a lot and stays out long. You can tell she works well with dogs especially with her experience taking care of her own dogs. I love the rover cards we get and will definitely use Vivian again in the future. I highly recommend if you need a dog walker!”
“Sherri was amazing, punctual, communicative and very forgiving of my work schedule being a little dynamic(hybrid role but not always required to go to office each week). My dog loves her and she provided him some happiness and fun while I was away at work and I can't express how much I appreciate her for that. I would book Sherri in a heartbeat, and I strongly recommend her to anyone in search of a walker. 10/10 here!”
About: From childhood, I've cared for both cats and dogs—my own as well as pets for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it’s playful puppies, shy senior cats, or pets with special diets and routines, I always take the time to get to know each animal’s unique personality and needs. I know how important it is to have someone reliable and caring when you’re away, and I look forward to giving you that peace of mind for your furry friend when you need some help! I work a remote 9-5 job and have the flexibility to work from different settings, meaning that I can drop by and be present for your pet whenever you need. I always ensure that boundaries and expectations are clear before caring for a pet in your home. If your pet is allowed outside, I take extra precautions to ensure they're leashed beforehand. Ahead of caring for your pet, I will make sure to review your preferred pet health provider's location in case of an emergency.
“Wonderful walk for my two silly boys !”
“I can tell from the photos how much our pup loves Kelly and looks forward to seeing her! I always appreciate the detailed notes and photos and accommodating to my dog’s unique & sometimes nervous personality :)”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with personal experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have a cat of my own and, in the past, I cared for two wonderful senior dogs, so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and gentle care—especially for older pets. I’m reliable, compassionate, and happy to provide the kind of attention and comfort that helps pets feel at ease while you're away. I work full-time during the weekdays but have flexibility for early morning and evening visits before and after work. My weekends are generally open, with the exception of a bit of time on Sundays for church. I'm happy to discuss a schedule that works best for your pet's needs and can be consistent and reliable with routines. Normally, pets need attention at least twice a day. I understand the need for basic pet needs, such as feeding, walks outside, changing the cat litter, water, etc. I also understand the need for a pet to be entertained and played with. I, of course, would be happy to continue your normal routines and needs for your pet while you are away!
“Jacqueline did great with my pup who’s sometimes shy around strangers. He needs a slow introduction and gets scared pretty easily. She was patience and kind with him. Looking forward to more visits. :)”
“We were absolutely delighted to have Amanda watch over our pups while we were out of town. From the moment we met her, we knew they were in great hands. She was attentive, loving, and kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear she truly cares, and our dogs absolutely adored her! We came home to happy, well-cared for pups and couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend Amanda and will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Louie is very particular about the company he keeps. He adores Cherri and enjoys going on walks with her. We were very grateful and very relieved that he has a new friend.🙂”
“Corrine took good care of Jazzy while I was gone. She walked and feed her as promised. I hope she is available next time I need a dog walker. Jeff & Jazzy Z”
About: I've taken care of dogs big and small since the age of 6. I grew up on a farm so always had the pleasure of being around animals. Right now, my wife and I have three adult cats, 2 boys and 1 girl. I also walk dogs in my neighborhood for neighbors and friends. I currently work remotely from home, so my cats are always asking for attention. Because I have the ability to take breaks throughout the day, I'd be glad to walk your dog or feed your cat. I take care of the cats at home by providing them with plenty of attention, areas to play and feeding and grooming them regularly. Dogs need space and dogs need attention. How you would treat and take care of your dog is the exact same way I would.
About: Hi, I’m Ryan a lifelong pet lover with 4 cats, 1 dog, and years of hands-on experience! Your pets will be treated like family with me because that’s exactly how I treat my own. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust when it comes to your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m working as a part time contractor right now with a flexible schedule. I’m available mornings, evenings, and nights to work around your pets needs. As someone who lives with 4 cats and a dog, I understand how important it is to provide a calm, secure, and pet-friendly environment. I treat every animal in my care with the same level of attention and love I give to my own. • I closely follow your instructions for feeding, medication, routines, and quirks • I create a stress-free environment for cats, with quiet spaces, gentle handling, and plenty of patience • For dogs, I ensure safe walks, avoid risky interactions, and keep them active and happy • I’m always alert to signs of stress, discomfort, or unusual behavior and will keep you updated • I double-check doors, leashes, litter boxes, and feeding areas to keep everything safe and clean

Julia did a wonderful job with Maggie. She took extra care in making Maggie comfortable with her. Julia gave her lots of love and cuddles. I will definitely use Julia again.
We are extremely happy with Victoria. Our dog is always excited to see her; we are lucky to have such a caring person take our dog on her walks.
She was so professional and kind and knowledgeable when she picked up my little guy. There was a mixup with the pictures and I’m not gonna lie. I got frustrated, but when she came back with my dog, we were able to clarify everything she was again, professional, and kind When we were working things out. I would definitely recommend her and I will definitely use her again!
This was a last-minute booking. There was a mixup when she got here about it being a 30 or 60 minute walk I booked it for 60 she was very professional and move things around so she could walk a full 60 minutes. She was very kind and my dog Eli really seemed to like her. I had a migraine come on and got sick. I’m very grateful for her taking my booking last minute and making sure she walked a full 60 minutes. I will definitely book with her again.

Isis provided great updates while we were on vacation. She made sure our mind was at ease. She also went the extra mile by playing soft music for the dogs and even washed a dish that the dogs used. Thank you for being so attentive to our dogs needs!
Amanda did a great job! She provided communication throughout and was very helpful with our new little one. Would definitely recommend her!
Mary was so great with our 70lb black lab Finley, Finley was a bit energetic and forgot her manners but Mary handled her with grace and kindness. Thanks so much Mary!
We would give six stars if we could! Mia was so attentive to our golden retriever while we were gone. She went above and beyond to make sure our dog Yanny was well cared for while we were gone. We had been looking for someone to care for Yanny so we could be gone for a day or a few days, we will definitely be booking Mia again.
