Why we're doing this
Faulkner deserves someone great when we can't be there. So does every pet.
Finding that person shouldn't mean downloading another app, scrolling through strangers, or waiting in a support queue when something goes wrong. What everyone actually wants is simpler: a neighbor who's great with pets, that you can just text.
So that's what we built. Kay lives in your Messages. Text her like you'd text a friend down the block, and she finds a background-checked walker or sitter nearby, books it, and keeps you posted. Every visit ends with a photo and a note. If anything ever feels off, a real person is on it.
Every Cairnley pro is interviewed by a real person, not a form or an algorithm, and background-checked before their first walk. If I wouldn't hand them Faulkner's leash, they don't walk with Cairnley.
That's why the people caring for your pet keep more of what they earn here, from their very first walk. Better pay means the best ones stick around, and your pet gets the same familiar face week after week.
We're starting small, with friends, neighbors, and their dogs and cats. If that sounds like your kind of thing, come join us in NYC, DC, and Mississippi.
