“London took to Alina right away. Alina was very communicative and sent me pictures of London during their walk. I plan on using Alina to walk London in the future.”
“Dylan is just awesome. I moved to my apartment and under last minute circumstances I needed someone to take care of my Dog, Jolene, while I work long hours. He stepped right up and put my mind at ease. He made sure she was comfortable and even helped get her to eat her food! (Had some anxiety after moving) 10/10 recommend!”
“Rosemary was wonderful! So communicative and prompt. Always keeping me informed of everything going on. My little guy was a little shy at first so she brought her own dog as a companion and it worked like a charm. She's great!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets, my own or others ever since I’ve was in kindergarten. I am an ordained Animal Chaplain. I have studied animal behavior and animal ethics. I can bring peace to your animals that are missing you while you are away. I work part-time so I’m happy to take care of animals as they fit into my flexible work schedule. I am available on weekends also. I have a fully fenced backyard to let out dogs. I am familiar with crate training and I’m able to crate dogs if needed. I can walk dogs and help them to feel at peace and ease while they are away from their owner, or their owner is away from them.
“Kerri has been walking Zuko (mostly) daily for about a month and she has been wonderful! We have a flexible schedule and she is extremely responsive, Zuko loves her and has great fun on their walks. She is always prepared with extra poop bags and is always willing to refill his water or feed him lunch or give him a treat before leaving if ever I’ve requested it! If you need a regular walker in the area I’d definitely recommend her!”
“We had a very positive experience with Jupiter walking our greyhounds! Communication was prompt and easy, and Jupiter was even able to add an additional walk day last minute. We greatly appreciate the care provided and would use walking services again in the future!”
“Bethany was great with our dog! She came and walked her while we were away and she was patient and accommodating with our shy girl. I loved getting her updates and pictures! Highly recommended!”
About: I am an absolute dog lover. I have 2 of my own, a bichon/shih tzu who I’ve had since I was 13 (she’s very old and doing great for her age) and a border collie mix who my partner and I rescued in 2020. She’s about 7 now, so also in her senior years. I have experience with leash training with her. I’ve lived with dogs all my life and love all types of dogs, big and small. I have various experiences looking after pets for family and friends, while also providing care to children through personal connections or the use of other reputable online care services. I hope to be able to look after your dog(s) and make them feel as loved as you do! I have a full-time job where I work in-office 3 days per week. My partner works fully remote and doesn’t mind helping out with walks when I’m in the office. We take our dogs outside about 4x per day, ensuring a longer walk in the afternoon/evening for brain stimulation! Living in an apartment complex, there is a small dog park area a short walking distance. Our dogs don’t enjoy that type of environment, so we don’t visit it, but we do have access to a walking trail so in the warmer weather we’ll frequent that for exercise with the dogs. When watching other folks’ dogs I usually avoid/limit the visiting dog’s interaction with other dogs for safety purposes. Our dogs are welcoming of other dogs, being older they take the coexisting approach and with time they’ll form their own little pack. My partner and I have both had dogs all our lives, so we know all dogs are different and have their own personalities and needs, which may vary in new situations/environments. We welcome the opportunity to take care of your dogs the same way you do!
About: Years of Experience: 7 I have been caring for pets for seven years, raising a lovable poodle and a domestic shorthair cat. Through this experience, I’ve developed a deep understanding of pet behavior, training, and daily care. I know how to cater to different personalities—whether it’s providing energetic playtime, gentle walks, or a cozy lap for cuddles. I’m attentive to their needs, from feeding routines to potty breaks, and I always ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is active and playful or relaxed and independent, I’ll treat them like my own! I work remotely, so I have plenty of time taking care of pets. I have a domestic shorthair cat in my house which is pretty friendly. I have a single house with a big yard that enables the dogs to run around and play. There are plenty of cat toys in my house.
“Lori has been so wonderful with our pup! He can be very attached to us at times and she's been so patient with him. Now he is scratching at the door to walk with her when she arrives! We feel so lucky to have Lori as our dog walker and know Maverick is in such good care!”
About: Dogs and cats have always been a part of my family. My husband and I currently have three rescue dogs. I am patient & kind, but firm—qualities I developed over 24 years as a first-grade teacher. I respect that everyone (people and animals) has unique qualities and needs. When friends and family go away, I always care for their dogs. I work part-time, so I have a lot of availability to care for your pets. Whether your pets need walks, playtime, feedings, or overnight care, I'm here for you. My three dogs have the run of the house, but they don't like to share, so I will come to your home to care for your fur baby.
About: My family loves animals, especially dogs. We are dedicated to making your dog feel at home while you’re busy. We will always treat your dog with love, compassion and respect. I love puppies but they must be house trained. My wife and I both work from home. I am self employed so I make my own hours and that allows me to provide exceptional care to your dog. We have a 2 year old French bull dog who is very friendly and gets along well with other dogs.Because I am an animal lover and giving back is so important to me I WILL DONATE 5% of my earnings to The MSPCA! I have a fenced in yard and we live on a quiet dead end street. The park is 2 minutes from our home and we go there often to allow our dog to play.I never have more than 3 dogs in my house at once which allows me to give your dog my undivided attention and love. Your dog will always be safe, happy and very well cared for.
“Olivia was great! She communicated well which is key! She took Cindy for a nice walk and sent us photos so we new she was getting attention while we were away. Would love to have her again!”
“Holly is so amazing and caring! You can tell she truly has a love for animals and their well-being. She is great with communications and responds quickly. She looked out for my dog like if he was her own and that really meant a lot to me. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone!”
About: For the past few years now I’ve been a dog sitter for my family and friends, walking, playing, feeding, and cleaning up after them I can house sit, dog walk, and do drop in visits, Any time of the day Mondays to Fridays, And weekends if needed anything works. I get to learn pets usually routine. How many times a day to walk them, when and how to feed them, and their bed time.

Guillermo took our 5 month puppy Maple out for their first walk today, he’s taken time to get to know her, understand her needs and has had great communication from first contact! Looking forward to their bond grow stronger as they get to hang out more times :) thank you!!
Ian was fantastic with our separation anxiety dog! He was patient with him and allowed him to adjust to him gradually. This was the first time we were able to travel without worrying. Ian sent plenty of photos and kept us updated with our pup’s progress. We will definitely use Ian again. He was so thoughtful in following all our instructions and skillful in providing our pup with plenty of mental stimulation.
Wen Shin was amazing with our two dogs, Ginkgo and Peanut. They are very anxious and have limited experience with strangers. As an overprotective dog parent, she took all my concerns very seriously and was able to accommodate all my requests to make me trust that my dogs were in good hands. They feel comfortable with her and even are sad to see her go once the walk is over! She is now our go-to dog walker or sitter for whenever we might need one. Highly recommended!
