“Emily was a pleasure to work with! She was patient and gentle with my dog, who has never had a walker and was initially very scared. My dog visibly gained confidence as they went on more walks, as Emily took the extra time and effort to get her comfortable. I would recommend her anywhere.”

“Thank you so much for taking care of Goose on such short notice! She was much calmer and well exercised after your walk; which was the goal. Much appreciated and highly recommended!”

“Dave was great and was very accommodating with my last-minute request. My dog is pretty shy with new people and he managed to get her to go out (that’s a big deal). I really appreciated Dave’s quick responses and the pictures! I will definitely reach out to him in the future.”

“Kathleen was great with Nova -an immeasurable help. She easily developed a bond with Nova, calmed the high energy, covered a lot of ground in a half-hour walk. Nova shortly began perching on the sofa every morning with her head toward the door, watching for Kathleen.”

About: I was that kid who would sit in the middle of a chicken coop to play with my feathery friends. Lol I must say that I connect way easier to animals than I do humans, which is something I take to high regard. You can’t fool an animal..they know who you are the minute they lay eyes on you as they show you who they are with no filters every single day. My family growing up was not too keen on pets so I settled for birds and waited for adulthood to volunteer in shelters and later getting my cat (Olivia) and then 7yrs later, my Pup, Bizzy. I don’t have much experience in administering syringe related but already have a handful of experience administering oral. I work full-time as a college admissions counselor and live 10 mins away from the school. I walk Bizzy every morning at around 7:30 - 8 am then I usually visit home during lunch, then I walk her again after coming home and feeding them dinner. If your pet’s schedule is outside the usual, my schedule is flexible enough to make it work. I have a 2 bedroom townhouse with a baby door to use around the house, when needed. Whatever is needed of your furry companion, I will come through or let you know honestly if I can’t.
About: Veterinary assistant and lifelong dog enthusiast offering premier sitting services. Skilled in dedicating to your pet's happiness. Trust in my expertise as I pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian! My main job schedule is typically 7:15 AM–6:00 PM, but I do get a 1-hour lunch break and occasionally half-days, which I can sometimes work around. I plan pet visits around my shifts and make sure they’re consistent and reliable. For longer trips or multiple daily check-ins, I’m usually able to coordinate timing in advance so your pet’s routine stays on track. I’m also flexible where possible and do my best to accommodate clients who travel or have changing schedules I care for pets by following their routine closely—feeding, water, cleaning, and bathroom breaks when needed. I check in on their overall behavior and comfort, and I pay attention to any changes in health or stress, such as skin issues, appetite changes, or unusual behavior. My goal is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and consistent with their normal routine while owners are away
“Hannah provided excellent communication and was thorough when asking details about my pet. I will be requesting her services again in the future, and would absolutely recommend her!”

“I honestly can’t say enough good things about Chelsie! Leaving my dog with someone is always a little stressful, but from the moment I met her, I felt completely comfortable. She was so caring, patient, and attentive, and it was obvious that she genuinely cared about my dog and treated him like her own. She kept me updated and sent me pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, my dog was happy and comfortable with her, and that means everything to me. ❤️ I’m so grateful for how well Chelsie took care of him. I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly love and care for their pet. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️”


About: Hello! Jess and Jimmy here. We’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, birds, and all sorts of creatures for over 15+ years. We often foster animals and have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs and cats from puppy/kittens to seniors and chihuahua to huskies. We are very active and one of our favorite activities is counting the cats on our daily dog walks. High energy pup? We could even take them for a run! Jess works from home in the afternoon but has a flexible schedule and her office is only 10 minutes from home if she needs to stop by more often. We make home made treats, frozen enrichments toys, and can provide puzzles, toys, and plenty of enrichment under careful supervisions. Outside, the fenced in backyard is a great place to soak in the sun and get lots of good sniffs. Kip and Carll can’t wait to hang out with their new temporary friends. Jess work’s from home in the afternoons with a flexible schedule. Her office is close by if she needs to stop in. The house also has cameras so she can always check in to make sure the animals are safe. Most mornings start with a potty break, breakfast followed by a walk. Once we’re settled back in pups get an enrichment snack before they settle in for a nap. In the afternoon and evenings we repeat! Potty breaks, walks, toys and dinner, before settling in for the snuggles in the evening. We have a fenced in backyard and 2 very friendly small and medium dogs. Dogs are allowed in all the rooms and on the furniture and bed. There are also dog beds in every room.

About: There are very few times in my life that I haven’t owned a dog. I grew up with dogs and my husband and I currently own one dog- a big lovable knuckle head who will love to meet your dog. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of opportunities for play time. I both currently work from home, so I am able to dedicate a lot of time and supervision to your dog! I have always had a family dog growing up. I have a lot of experience with dogs from all walks of life - puppies, geriatrics, to hands on health needs. My dog Gus is very friendly and loves to play. He is very open to visitors and new friends! Please feel free to contact me at any point if you have any questions. I work from home 3-4 days per week so I have the capability of full time supervision and frequent potty or outside breaks. I work a normal 8-5 job. My back yard is fully fenced in so no chance of escape. We also have a back door that leads directly to the back yard. I have two dogs of my own I care for so adding an additional dog doesn’t change much for me so long as your dog isn’t nervous around big dogs. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to host dogs at my house or go for walks. I have flexibility over the days I have to go in to the office. Our home is very easy going. My dog is a free feeder, allowed on furniture, beds, and gets human scraps. We have a fenced in yard for space to run around off leash.
“Laura is amazing. She has a big heart for dogs, and took great care of Brooks. Her communication about Brooks after his walk was perfect, and I will be using her agian!”

About: Hi! I’m Jennifer, a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of my 5-year-old pup, Scooby. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I truly believe pets are family and deserve love, patience, and attention just like any other family member. I also had the privilege of caring for another dog for 12 wonderful years before she sadly passed away from cancer, which gave me experience with dogs through all stages of life and taught me how important compassionate care is. I’m currently a teacher assistant so during the Holidays, weekends and out of school for the summer I’ll be available any time. So I can make sure I give lots of love and attention to your love ones. I live in a safe, pet-friendly apartment complex with two gentle young children under 7 who have grown up around dogs and love animals. Your pet will be welcomed into a warm, caring environment where they’ll receive plenty of affection, playtime, and attention while you’re away. Whether your dog loves cuddles, walks, playtime, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and treated like part of the family.

About: I have been a cat and dog lover and pet parent throughout my adult life. When I lived in Washington, I worked full time at a dog daycare and overnight boarding ranch in Snohomish. I also have a lot of experience petsitting and housesitting for family and friends. A few years ago, I job-shadowed a full time in-home pet sitter. All in all, I really enjoy spending time with critters and I look forward to meeting you and your critters! I am comfortable handling/administering medications to pets. I love to walk and hike with my dog. I would love to take your dog along to explore the trails if you think that's something your dog would enjoy. I have a fully fenced, partially shaded back yard. I currently have a small dog and 5 cats that your dog would need to be compatible with.
“Another wonderful walk for my little babe! Ashley sent me a picture and gave me regular up dates. So thankful she was able to walk my dog on such short notice! ”
About: I’ve always had pets growing up and have even trained a few of my own dogs. I’d be so happy to care for yours and give them lots of love. I am a stay at home mom so I have an open and flexible daily schedule, I enjoy early morning walks. I am also open for boarding on weekday or weekends. I have a fenced yard and plenty of space in my home for pets to feel comfortable. My cat can be kept separate if needed. I’m also available for house sitting if that’s preferred.
About: I’ve always grown up with animals in the home, a home isn’t a home unless you here the pitter patter of those paws of the floor. Dogs are at the heart of my being and unfortunately you can only have so many. But the best way I’ve found to experience the love of all kind of dogs are through the caring for of everyone else’s four legged friend. I’ve always watched and cared for others animals off and on as a side income and personal enjoyment; giving all the love and attention they need while their human is away. All the way back when I was in high school, many years ago, I discovered the love and care for others dogs when I worked for the groomers and it’s never stopped since. My sweet Winter departed in 2020 after 13 long and steady years by my side and while I haven’t yet been ready to give my full heart away I’ve found great healing, giving lots of love, walks, baths, ball games, and lots of snuggs, All welcomed with love. After 10 years working in the field of Art Education and Public Art Coordination I decided to take the leap and start my business, Swift & Dapper LLC. Life is never one size fit all and too short to accept anything less that extraordinary whether that’s personal style or grooming, spacial reconfiguration or custom built carpentry, curated interiors or stunning professional services you have specific needs and you deserve nothing less than what you need and then some. S&D is happy to offer paw-fessional pet services. With a home based operations that leaves plenty of time for swing by visits or stay-cations for your special friend. They’ll have all the attention they need and anything else to ensure a happy and paw-sitive care. Our four legged friends should always be at home and feel comfortable. Fresh running water, soft comfy rugs and beds, and lots of fluffy blankets for those that like to snuggle up on the sofa for a movie. Our backyard is large and fenced in, ready for fetch and play time. We are used to having little furry ones (especially our neighbor’s little ones) wandering around and keep it in the front of mind always. Instructions for specific care are much appreciated and followed to the ledger.
