Fast forward to two weeks later and he is excited to see her, does tricks for her and gives her kisses! Thank you, Heather, for the incredible care of our little man!”

About: I love taking dogs for walks and runs, followed by hours of spoiling. I never had a pet growing up so I lived vicariously through being able to take care of other family and friends’ pets.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and currently care for two of my own with ongoing health needs: one with hip dysplasia, who needs walks with breaks, physical therapy, and swimming sessions, and one with IBD, who needs a strict diet and daily medication. I'm comfortable giving medication, managing special diets, and following care instructions exactly as given. I also spent a year pet-sitting a neighbor's puppy and cat, including daily visits and boarding. I'm a parent to a toddler and available every weekday morning, roughly 8:30am to 12pm, for visits and walks. Caring for pets is part of my daily rhythm already, so your pet gets my full attention during our time together, not a rushed in-between. I follow each pet's routine and instructions closely, whether that's medication, a specific diet, or a particular walking pace. I'm attentive to small changes in behavior or appetite, since I manage similar things with my own dogs at home. I send photo updates during visits so you always know how things went.

“Joey is fantastic and our greyhound Happy loves him! He helped me with just a few days' notice to walk our dog after I broke my ankle. Joey communicated very well with me, took Happy on a nice walk each day despite the cold temperatures, and even offered to help me with anything else. He genuinely cares for the pets and people he helps. I highly recommend hiring Joey. I will definitely be reaching out to him again.”
“Alyssa has been wonderful this week. My dog is very nervous around new people. I honestly didn't think Payton would actually get a walk due to being so scared but she got leash and received wonderful pics of Payton having fun and requesting belly rubs!”
“Thank you so much for helping us out in a pinch. Being injured is no fun when you have an energetic dog. You’re fantastic! Winnie was so happy to be able to go on a nice long walk, she was beat afterwards, and I love seeing that! We can’t thank you enough! Looking forward to seeing you again!”

Emily has been walking/caring for my pup, Gino, for 2 years now and she is the absolute best! She is very flexible and accommodating with my crazy work schedule, communicative and so caring! She’s done house sitting as well as multiple weekly walks for the past two years & always willing to help with the occasional medications when needed! My Gino absolutely adores her!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
