“Matthew took our high energy high anxiety pup for walks twice a day while I took care of my terminally ill mom. He was reliable, friendly, and wonderful with Evie. Thank you Matthew!!!”


“Caroline was super accommodating with our young puppy's (and our) needs. She was up for us walking along with her, so our puppy could get feel more comfortable around her for the first meeting. Definitely will be requesting Caroline again for help with our puppy!”


“Ronnie was very through with the preparation for service. Asked plenty of questions about habits and routines. Was punctual, and provided exactly what I needed, and will be my 1st ask if necessary in the future.”


“Rebecca is wonderful, Juju looks forward to her walks with her❤️”


“My dog was a little shy at first, but they took the time for him to warm up so her could get a walk in! I can’t say enough how much I appreciate the patience and great communication :)”


About: I've walked and exercised dogs. Fed them. Snuggled them. I have a pretty laid-back personality, so I hardly stress out even when a dog is barking at me. I understand they need to get use to a person first sometimes. I work a super laid-back job from home so I have plenty of time to spend with any pets throughout the day, whether they be dogs who need walking or cats who need snuggling. I follow the routines outlined by my clients, and use my intuition to know what the pet is needed or feeling in the moment. It probably sounds corny, but it's the best way I know how to describe it. An attentive person can tell when they're upset or when they're at peace.

“Andrew was on time and totally respectful. He was very calm with our hyper puppy and did a great job of letting the pup come/warm up to him. We had a few requests (sitting at sidewalks and heeling by people) that make walking the pup a little more work. Andrew was more than happy to work with all of our requests. Definitely recommend!”


“Lavinia is outstanding with our sweet rescue pup! She’s patient, kind and knows how to engage Macie Grey in the comforting way that she needs. Thank you Lavinia! Joanne, Alison & Macie ?❤️”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was very young and have always loved caring for animals. As a dedicated pet sitter, I have experience pet-sitting (cats and dogs!) for professors during college and dog-walking as well for friends over holiday breaks. 🐾 What I Offer: ✔ Experienced dog-walker, great with neighborhood walks or fenced yard playtime ✔ Experienced with overnight pet-sitting and in-home pet care for cats and dogs ✔ Comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large dogs ✔ Cat mom to two rescues—a senior and a kitten—so I understand the unique needs of both young and older cats Whether your pet needs company while you're away or just an extra walk and attention, I’m happy to help! I am a fresh graduate taking a break before graduate school - so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your furry companions! As such, I have a very flexible schedule and can work around most pet care routines. I have experience with walking/in-home dog and cat sitting and understand the importance of keeping your pets entertained while maintaining a safe environment. Please communicate any specific needs (such as areas they prefer to walk through, medications, etc.) and I will accommodate them!

About: From high-energy pups to more anxious or reserved dogs, I have the skills and experience to take care of all of your pups needs! I love every pet like they're my own, making sure they feel as safe and comfortable as possible. I'm a grad student with night classes coming up part-time this fall, meaning I have lots of time during the day to take care of your pet! When I care for pets in their own home, I cater to their needs - whether that's giving lots of attention, playtime, or snuggles. I'm always careful to respect household rules and keep everything clean and safe. I'll also keep you updated on a regular basis, and make sure to send lots of pictures while you're away!

“Mackenzie is amazing! I’m super grateful that she came to my rescue to walk my 60lb 10-month old puppy. I know that my dog is still learning to walk on a leash, and I know that he is a lot to handle. McKenzie did wonderful with my puppy. I would rebook with her in a heartbeat.”


About: Hi! My name’s Misa and I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid. Once my family got our first dog when I was 8 years old, we were inseparable. She was my partner in crime~ Now I have a cat of my own and he owns my heart! He’s pretty food motivated so I clicker trained him, and he knows about 10 tricks :D He also has some health issues so I’m familiar with giving cats medication. I recently graduated with my master’s from the UR and I’m still in the process of looking for a job. Which means my schedule is super flexible to hang out with your pet! I’m detail oriented, reliable, and respectful of your space and your pets~ I'm currently on the job hunt after finishing my master's degree so my schedule is very flexible to accommodate drop-ins in the morning or afternoon as well as the evening~ I'll do my best to adhere to your pet's normal routine and of course be respectful of their boundaries. I'll follow any instructions given and reach out if any further clarification is needed!

“Morgan was responsive, attentive to my dog, and communicated with me while I was gone. I had to go out of town with little notice and I have a very sensitive dog but she took him on nice long walks and gave me great recaps. My dog loved her and was happy to see her every time. Would 100% recommend Morgan”


“Barbara has been a blessing to me and my golden retriever. My mom passed away about a month ago and she watched over the dog while I was at work so I was in a situation where if I couldn’t create a life for my dog during the hours I’m away from home I would have to think of giving her up and that would have been devastating. Barbara agreed to come out twice a day to take care of Cassidy and she has been the most dependable, caring, and compassionate person to my beloved dog. She was so patient with Cassidy, she was going through a big adjustment with the loss of my mom. Barbara truly spent a lot of time establishing a bond with her and slowly they have developed a nice routine of playing in the backyard. They relax in the sun, play ball and with all her toys. I am very thankful to Barbara for the dependability, her caring nature and the smile on my dog each day I come home let’s me know I chose the right service and the perfect person to care after my dog. Thank you Barbara!”


“Suzanne is caring and very dependable. I am so glad that I found her in our neighborhood. Thank you!”


“We have been rebooking Geoff for the last few weeks because he has been such a huge help with our dog (Boomer). He's very considerate and always refills Boomer's food/water bowls when needed. He is really good at informing us if anything out of the ordinary happens and overall good at communication. I love seeing the rover card and knowing they went on a nice walk and Boomer got plenty of exercise. Plus, he takes great pictures of Boomer. I highly recommend booking Geoff for any of the services he offers!”


About: I’ve cared for a variety of animals throughout my life—including dogs, rabbits, birds, fish, and reptiles. My mom had two Pomeranians and a Shih Tzu, so I’m no stranger to small-breed personalities! I’ve provided pet sitting, walking, grooming, feeding, and even taken pets to vet appointments. Eventually, I’d love to adopt a dog of my own 🥰—but for now, I love caring for other people’s pets like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part time and my schedule is flexible with reasonable notice. Early mornings during the week and some evenings would be okay. I'm also available on the weekends. I'm close to plenty of parks and I also have big yard but it's not fenced in...I have an extra room that will be used for guest pets to sleep in or next to my bed is ok..I would make sure the pet has food and water down, I can administer an medication. I would try to adhere to the pets routine so that he/she is comfortable.I'm located near several parks and have a large yard that's perfect for playtime—though it isn't fenced, I always supervise outdoor time to ensure pets are safe. Inside, I have an extra room available just for guest pets, or they’re welcome to sleep near my bed if that’s what they’re used to. I always make sure pets have fresh food and water, and I’m comfortable administering any medications they may need. Most importantly, I do my best to follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible while you're away.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I helped raise several puppies including one who I fostered before she became a seeing eye dog. I have also assisted in training my partner's service dog. I focus primarily on house sitting for folks with cats. I am open to other jobs sometimes. Regardless of the species or amount of time, your furry friend will be happy and healthy and my capable hands. I take careful notes about you animal's routine and needs before they are in my care. Skills for behavioral and emotional regulation are built into the way i interact with dogs. Cats and i just vibe. Even skittish cats tend to warm up to me in few days and we always have a nice time together.

“Priya has been super reliable when it comes to late night walks with my pup. She is very respectful with my space. I can see she really enjoys spending time with my dog. She even walks her longer than the expected time, which I greatly appreciate.”


“Cassidy has been fantastic with my dog Zion. Quick, clear, and frequent communication and pictures. He seems to enjoy the visits and she goes above and beyond to give my needy boy all the belly scratches he desires.”
