About: I've owned pets for almost my entire adult life. I love every pet and have experience with basic training of my own dog, and taking care of cats and kittens. I work a 10 month full time job and would love to help care for your pets in my time off. I'm available most weekends and some weekday evenings/mornings as well as nearly daily in the summer. I will feed, walk, play with, and give medicine to your pets. They will feel a sense of kindness and caring while I am with them.
About: Caring for dogs has become one of my favorite parts of life, especially after welcoming my Yorkie, Simba, into my family. Being a dog mom has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding that every dog has a unique personality and routine. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Whether we’re going for a walk, enjoying playtime, or stopping by for a visit, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos, so you always know how your furry family member is doing. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for pet care during evenings, weekends, and select weekdays depending on my schedule. I know how important consistency and communication are, so I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages while your pet is in my care. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or some extra playtime, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m patient, dependable, and believe every dog deserves individualized care based on their personality and routine. I have experience caring for my own Yorkie, Simba, and understand the importance of positive reinforcement, exercise, and keeping pets on their normal schedule. During every visit, I’ll provide updates, photos, and plenty of love so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

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

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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.
