“We had a very chaotic week from an ER visit to the emergence of separation anxiety. Jessica did a great job helping us out and calming our nerves. She was great with our dogs and I would recommend her to other dog parents.”
“Derek was great with Jasper. He was able to assist us with walking him on short notice, and was very responsive and communicative. I would recommend Derek to anyone who needs their pup walked!”
“It was too wet/rainy outside to walk Gidget, but I kept the appointment time anyway. I wanted to start once a week walks for Gidget to get used to seeing Katie around before house sitting for us. Hubby said that she took the time to get to know her and vice versa. Very pleased with Katie.”
“Kaitlyn was AMAZING with my dog Mina. Mina is on the older side and has trouble walking sometimes. She took her time with her and Mina got a full walk. I cannot thank Kaitlyn enough for her care and compassion for Mina.”
“Bekka was wonderful with my dog Spencer! She took him for a nice walk and then threw some toys around for him as well. He loved his time with Bekka! Will definitely be rebooking!”
“Jane is really the sweetest and so accommodating. She stays in communication during the walk before and after. Our Pup really enjoys her, so much he couldn’t wait to get in the crate today and have me leave for work so he could go for a walk with her ❤️?”
“Sarah and her family are a joy and took such good care of Monty while we were away. We loved the note and photo they left for us at the end of their care. I highly recommend them!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for friends, neighbors and family members since I was 10. I have potty trained and taught basic commands to my dogs, fed and cared for cats, guinea pigs and ball pythons. Pets are part of the family and should get high quality care regardless of their owners scheduling requirements. I'm working part time over the summer and looking to have pets to care for in my spare time. My availability is pretty open with the exception of 9am to 12pm Monday through Thursday in July. I would love to play with your pets, bring them for walks, provide food, water, love and attention. I genuinely care for all animals and would love to get to spend time with your pet.
“I was particularly apprehensive about choosing a dog walker for my rescue dog. Molly is high anxiety, a result of her abusive history. I’d used the same dog-walker for three years, since first adopting Molly. She was a college student whose class schedule ultimately clashed with her dog-walking schedule, leaving me to find someone new. I interviewed several candidates, ultimately choosing Kala because she clearly showed an understanding of how best to interact with anxious rescue animals. Molly took to her quickly, so I’d say that Molly chose Kala! Kala has been great! She’s kind, patient, and understanding with Molly’s quirks. Molly seems to really love her, which obviously makes it easier for me when I have to be away from her. I would highly recommend Kala, particularly for those with very sensitive animals. I can’t say enough good things about her.”
About: I’ve done rescue work on the side for a cat shelter, including medical fostering. I’ve worked for an emergency/specialty vet as a technician assistant. I have several reoccurring clients on & off of here. Love all pets! I have a 3 legged kitten and have done specialized care for kittens with eye issues and bottle fed kittens. I have no issues giving meds or helping with prescription diets. I have experience with bearded dragons and other reptiles as well. I can always send pics of my work! My labradoodle and his siblings somehow manage to befriend every dog we take care of and we always love new friends! I have plenty of references besides what is on here as well and there’s some before & afters of foster kittens I’ve done medical stuff with. I have 4 dogs of my own, a dorkie, a chihuahua, a labradoodle and a goldendoodle - we stay very active all the time. Walks, treats & playing, and my labradoodle loves to swim! My Labradoodle enjoys visiting people and it’s not uncommon for us to venture out just for a pup cup or a ride around town. I also have my rescue cats who I love! I’ve worked for an emergency/specialty vet along with a general practice vet and am always trying to further my education! Everyone is always leashed and I take my time depending on the animals abilities/etc when walking or playing. I’m more than familiar with litter boxes and etc and don’t mind spending time with pets. We always have time for socialization and visiting with people- I frequent some businesses that LOVE to see dogs!
About: Because Your Pet Deserves the Best, Even When You’re Away. I will care for your pet small, large, fluffy or feathery when you can't. Sometimes things come up or a well deserved vacation... there is no need when you pick me to worry about your loved pet family. I will treat them with respect, compassion, and love they deserve. I know that they are missing you. I will make sure that they have their own mini getaway when I am with them. This can be a walk, cuddles, or just tossing the ball. I can do stop ins for potty and food.. I can stop in and take them for a walk, or just stop in and play with them. I love all weather and am prepared for anything. Snow, rain, cold or storm. I am a stay at home mom who like any mom I am ready for anything. Last minute appointment (we all know that unexpected things happen. Don't worry about your pet message me), cleanups, accidents, snacks,protective (nothing will happen to your loved one with me), and even fun days outs. I am a mom and I am always ready for anything. It would be a honor to be invited to your home to check in on your loved one. I am extremely flexible and would enjoy meeting your pets. I would always treat your animals as I would want mine to be treated.
“I’m very happy with the job Katelyn is doing and would definitely recommend her to anyone else. Katelyn has been sending me cute pictures from each walk and has an eye for the camera. She seems to genuinely care about the welfare of my puppy.”
“Amanda is very professional, punctual and knowledgeable. I came home to 2 tired and happy pups! Will definitely be using again.”
“Corinne was great with Marsh! He had a great time on his walk with her, he was pooped!”
About: I have had a love for animal my whole life. I have had the opportunity to take of my friend's dogs. I would pet sit for my mother's dogs for years and gained lots of experience. I currently own a 2 year old, spade, Golden Doodle named Yumi with my girlfriend. I'm in-between jobs at the moment, so I will have plenty of time to care and play with your pups. My schedule is completely open. I usually walk my dog every 3-4 hours. There is plenty of yard space for play outside. Usually feeding is 2 times a day unless otherwise specified by the owner
“Holly was reliable and took excellent care of our dogs. We have an elderly dog that can be difficult at times, but she was patient and made every effort to get him up for his walk.”
About: Hello! I'm Jenny. I've been around animals my whole life from growing up on a farm and owning my own horses to raising puppies and kittens. In 2013, I took and passed a vet-tech certification program through a local accredited college. Although some details may be out of dated the general practices remain the same. I will always respect your wishes as I know you care about your babies as much I care about mine. I also have experience with chickens, fish (tank & pond), horses, reptiles, small animals, and birds. I'm also a huge fan of gardening and plants. I work from home with a flexible schedule. I'm normal able to leave the house by 630/7 am and do a 'last out' (as we call it) at 930pm. And it's always nice to take a mid-day break for a walk. My animals have fairly loose rules but that's because we spent years training. How I care for your animals will be dependent on your requests. However, I would feel more comfortable walking your dog on a leash if you don't have a fenced in yard, and one at time. I'm always ready for snuggles and playtime!
“Maggie had a great time walking with Chrissy! She was so flexible and worked around our schedule. Maggie loved Chrissy from the get go and was very excited to see her! We loved getting photos as well and Chrissy was great at communicating throughout.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 6 years. I have a natural instinct for making them comfortable and loved 🥰 Thank you guys I offer pickup and drop off service in the area of RI, MA and CT I am a house wife so I have a very open schedule and can accommodate most people. Contact me ahead of time. I offer pickup and drop off service in the area of RI,MA and CT 😊 I have a nice area in and outside of my home that pets can be comfortable and safe. Plenty of room for a bed also
About: I am a self taught dog enthusiast. Growing up I was always interested in animals and their behaviors and grew to further educate myself. I am currently working towards CPDT-KA certification as a professional dog trainer. I am PetTech CPR and First Aid certified since 10/10/2021. I am a proud owner of two Dobermans who have been a large part of my life for 11 years. I have worked in doggie daycare and boarding the last year and learned so much more about dog play, body language and breed characteristics. Dog behavior is something that has always interested me and I realize that negative behavior in dogs can be linked to too much energy and not enough exercise. We live in a busy world and time is sometimes against us. That is why I'd like to dedicate my time to helping out with dogs, as well as their owners, so that they all can feel at ease within their shared environments. I am currently available weekdays and evenings for walking and sitting. I will be willing to work with clients if they are needed on occasion. I abide by all leash laws and vaccination requirements. I keep my dogs safe and tethered while in transit and will be eventually adding a fenced area in my own yard for safe and monitored playtime. I will always respect and follow the requests of the owners needs for their dogs.

Karina K.
“Karina is a literal dog whisperer in my eyes. When I became a pet parent for the first time and was frantic trying to figure out how to make this work with my already busy lifestyle, she was who I turned to for help – and frequently! When it was time to welcome the little pup into his forever home, everything from crating to house-training to managing his separation anxiety, Karina was there for me every step of the way. Her patience and innate understanding not only put Asher at ease, but gave me the confidence I really needed in order to become a better caregiver myself. When I had to take a month long trip, she was the first person I turned to for a sitter, as I wanted him to be in a loving environment similar to what he would have experienced at home with me. She didn't disappoint, sending me pictures and video regularly to ensure I felt connected to him throughout. You won't regret working with Karina in any capacity!”
