Bill is a reliable dog walker. He was great with our dog, Bella. He was flexible when adding extra walks last minute. He is also very responsive. I highly recommend his services to others.

Katrina has been great with walking our two dogs! One of them is on the anxious side and she’s been excellent with him as well. Would definitely recommend!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have spent the past few years helping care for all sorts of fur babies ! I’ve helped with dog walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m obsessed with all fur babies and I’m very comfortable handling all sizes and all breeds! We don’t discriminate😆 I am super accommodating! I love going on walks and how cute to have a little companion to get my steps in with! Over the years I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, and love are when it comes to caring for animals. I always make sure every fur baby feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every single one like they’re my own.

Alexis is awesome! She clearly loves and is comfortable with dogs and connected with my owner-attached dog straight away. She is super friendly and easy to work with. She also is very responsible--she was on time, listened to and executed my exercise requirements for my dog. I will definitely use her again!

About: I’m naturally very active, so if your dog loves long walks and plenty of playtime, they’ll have a great workout buddy with me. At the same time, I’m super patient and adaptable to whatever your pet needs. I’ve worked with all kinds of animals with different traits and can definitely meet your needs! Because I work a part-time job with a flexible schedule, pet care easily fits right into my daily routine. I can structure my shifts around your dog's specific needs, I have plenty of open windows to make your pet a top priority throughout the week. Whether I’m hosting your dog or staying at your place, my goal is to keep their routine exactly how they like it. For active pups, that means plenty of long walks and fresh air to burn off energy, while puppies get consistent potty breaks and training support. If you have a senior dog, I focus on a quiet, stress-free environment and precise feeding schedules. I adapt completely to your pet's needs.

About: I've been living with and taking care of dogs both big and small my whole life. I'd do everything from feeding, walking, grooming, and playtime! I've even had the opportunity to train a few puppies and take care of my senior dogs. I'm currently a college student with a lot of flexibility and time on my hands so I'm available almost all the time to care for your pet! I will follow any instructions that are given to me to ensure that your pup is properly taken care of the way you want, you know your pup best! Apart from that I always just give a little extra love.

Highly recommend booking Viviana as a dog walker. She did a great job with our two pups, especially our older dog who can be a little feisty. She is very responsive and even came to meet our dogs beforehand to make sure she could provide them the best care possible.

About: I have experience working with cats and dogs. My family adopted a cat a few years ago and she quickly became part of the family. I have experience walking my neighbors dogs and know how to tame a dog if need be. Working with cats and dogs is a passion of mine as each has their own unique personality that is discovered over time. I am a college student at the Royal Conservatory of Music Glenn Gould School. I am available most afternoons Monday to Saturday, except for Sunday. I have a large fenced backyard that is safe for dogs to soak up the sun while having fun exploring, running around, and playing games

About: I have cared for dogs of all ages since I was a young child, especially dogs of older ages. Working with animals genuinely makes my day. I am currently home from college so I currently have a very open schedule. I like to stay active, so walking with your pet will fit right into my routine! My dog, Porky, has been cared for in my home for the past fourteen years. I have learned from my mom how to properly care for dogs.

About: I have loved dogs ever since I was little. The best memories I have as a kid are going to Wisconsin Dells to visit puppies. I begged my parents for a dog for years until they finally gave in and we got a Cocker Spaniel, Snoopy. We have had our own dogs now, two cavachons, Lucy and Ricky, for 5 years. My entire family treats their pets like family. My husband and I are lucky enough to work from home daily. We have time to walk and interact with the dogs pretty much all day. Someone is always home. I have a decent sized fenced in yard. My dogs are very friendly and they are allowed free access to all the house and furniture. We also have plenty of toys to keep them entertained.

About: I have been pet-sitting since I was 14, due to the population of dogs in my neighborhood. My community has trusted me with their fur babies, and I’m certain we will have so much fun!😊 I am currently working a part time job, so I won’t be available 24-7—but I am more than happy to work with you on times to be there for your pets :) Please book with only serious inquiries😊 In my clients home, I will follow all rules and guidelines relating not only to their pet, but also to respecting their space as well.

Trisha was a huge help during a week where we needed a temporary dog walker. She came every day, had great communication, and no issues sorting out logistics with our two dogs. She immediately connected with them and seemed to very much understand their personalities. All of her daily updates made me laugh and it was wonderful knowing they were in good hands. I would not hesitate to ask her help again in the future!
