Why LegUp?
Personalized Care
Our philosophy is that your pet is treated as if it were our own—not a commodity. Our goal is to exceed your expectations—and no matter which service we provide—we believe in personalized care and positive reinforcement.
Licensed/Insured
A+ Rating
We are a licensed business and are insured (pet and personal property) through Pet Sitters Associates, LLC. Additionally, we are a 14-year member of the Better Business Bureau with an A+ rating.
PET CARE PROFESSIONAL?
- Caring for pets is our profession—we are not pet care hobbyists like many who advertise on popular websites and apps.
- We are trained to know the first signs of pet illness or distress.
- While it may seem convenient to ask a friend or neighbor to help, using a consistent Pet Care Professional creates a bond between your pet and their caretaker.
- This long-term bond puts your pet at ease while their human is out of town or at work.
- We are insured—which is highly recommended when entrusting someone to care for your beloved pet and/or home.
I have a dog with special needs and had gone through 3 walkers within a year. A friend recommended LegUp and we haven't looked back. My dog is my baby and it's reassuring to know she's in great hands while I'm at work.

Woof woof! Woof woof woof! (translated: that's our dog saying how much she loves her daily excursion with her walker and dog pals) Thanks for all you do.

I work from home so I know firsthand that my dog appreciates the time she spends with her friends–she literally sits by the window waiting for the truck to pull up! And I truly appreciate the walker/client communication and warm professionalism.

I’ve been a client since my two dogs were puppies—they are now 7 years old! They come back from their outing happy, tired—and clean. It’s comforting to know they’re in good hands.

Group Outings
DETAILS
Dogs that enjoy socializing and exercising with other dogs will thrive on our Group Outings. LegUp outings are tailored to keep your dog engaged and active—and while fun and exercise are at the top of our list, safety is the number one priority.
Taking place rain or shine, your walker will bring a group of dogs (2-6) on a leashed 45-minute walk in our favorite dog and human-tested locations, including: quiet neighborhoods, bayside boardwalks, fire roads, and more. Rate includes pick-up, walk, and drop-off.
Please note: In order to provide timely walks in a coordinated manner we are only able to provide full-time walks. (2+ walks per week per month qualifies as full-time)
| Add $10 for each additional dog in household |
Overnight Care
DETAILS
As an added benefit, our dog walking clients have access to overnight vacation care—a great alternative to kennels if you prefer leaving your dog in familiar surroundings while you’re away.
When LegUp professionals stay with your pet at your home, we follow your routine as closely as possible: walks in the morning/evening, careful maintenance of food/water/medications to your specifications and, of course, plenty of TLC.
We also offer complimentary services during our stay—we will bring in your mail, water plants, and honor other reasonable requests.
Please note: As overnight care is dependent on the availability of our sitters, some dates may be previously booked. Should this happen, we will provide several trusted referrals to care for your pet in lieu of LegUp at that time.
