About: I grew up with dogs my whole life, from playful puppies to senior pups, and I’ve always loved caring for them. Right now, being single and working in healthcare means my schedule doesn’t allow me to have a dog of my own, so I pour all that love and attention into the pets I walk and care for. Every dog I meet gets the same patience, playfulness, and affection I gave my own growing up. I work three days a week as a Physician Assistant, which means I have multiple days off, sometimes during the week, sometimes on weekends. On my days off, I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with your schedule. My availability can be flexible week to week, so there’s a good chance we can find a time that works for you and your pup. I live alone in a cozy one-bedroom apartment, which means your pup will get my full attention without other pets or people. Right across the street is a beautiful park which is perfect for safe, fun walks and plenty of adventures. I always make sure pets are secure on leash, keep a close eye on their comfort, and provide a calm, loving environment where they can relax and feel at home or let out all their energy!

About: As a lifelong dog owner and proud owner of a golden retriever, I understand the love and care these furry friends deserve. I am passionate about providing the best companionship, exercise, and attention to your dog—just like I do for my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’m dedicated to making sure your dog feels loved, safe, and happy. Let me be your trusted partner in caring for your pup and giving them the attention they deserve! I’m an educator and currently have an open summer schedule to give your dog plenty of love and attention. I am open for a daily or weekly care plan. The way I care for pets, whether in my own home or a client's, depends on their specific needs and the services provided. I prioritize safety, love, and attention. I ensure they have water and food. I tailor activities to their age, breed, and health requirements—like walks, playtime, or cuddles. If I'm caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their instructions carefully and keep open communication to ensure everything runs smoothly.

“Marie has been walking our German Shepherd Lizzy for a few weeks now and has been great! Very reliable and has even been able to accommodate last minute walks when our schedules have been crazy! Really appreciate her hard work”


About: I've looked after animals since I was a kid. I love cats and dogs alike and would look after them for loved ones and neighbors. I work part time at a vet clinic and have plenty of time to drop on an check on your critter. I love animals and have Lot of experience handling them. I do not plan to take animals to my own place of residence. I typically like to check on the pet at the clients home instead.

“I was new to the area and needed a dog walker within a few days notice. And somehow got lucky enough to stumble upon Mary Rose’s profile. She’s incredibly sweet and responsive, and truly loves animals. Whether it be just a walk in the neighborhood or staying overnight, I truly have zero worries about leaving my dog and two cats. You can tell she loves what she does. Although she’d say she was the lucky one, pretty sure I win! :)”


About: I’ve been an animal-lover since elementary school. I’ve had cats since birth, but at age 8 I saved my money up for a year to buy my own cat and I’ve been taking care of animals ever since. I have experience taking care of cats and dogs of all ages, as well as birds, reptiles, rodents, and aquariums (freshwater, saltwater, and reef.) I even have experience caring for wild animals in a rehabilitation setting, so administering medication or accommodating special needs is no problem! I love finding ways to provide enrichment in your pet’s life. I understand that every animal is different, so I’m happy to get to know your pet’s individual needs and provide plenty of love and patience! I’ll be starting graduate school in the fall, so I’m looking for flexible hours doing things I love! I am available for drop in visits or overnight stays. I’m happy to work with you and be flexible depending on your needs! I would love to spend some time talking with you to understand your pet’s individual needs so that I can provide the best care necessary! I am very patient and caring, so challenging animals are not a problem. If your pet has any special needs I am happy to learn more about what I can do to accommodate for that! I have experience caring for animals in a rehabilitation setting so administering medications or making accommodations for animals is something I’m experienced with!


“Paul was just perfect for my needs. He walked my two Welsh Corgi's while I was away. He was always prompt, courteous and considerate. My pups grew to like him a lot, and the walking became and happy for them. My husband, who remained at home during this trip, was very pleased. Thank you Paul!”


About: I've had dogs, large and small, off and on since I was 9. I'm comfortable working with them and making sure their needs are met. I'm definitely also a cat person and enjoy the chill companionship that they provide. I'm happy to work with you to make sure your fuzzy family members are taken care of as well as I would want my own to be. I am self employed and have a flexible work from home schedule. During the school year, I have flexible availability around pick up and drop off times, and during the summer my hours are even more flexible. Whatever schedule you need, I can probably accommodate (within reason). While I cannot care for your pets in my home at this time, I'm happy to work with you to care for your pets in your home following their usual routine to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible. There's no stock answer for that, as routines will be different for every pet, so please feel free to reach out and we can talk about your pet's specific needs!

About: Hi! My name is Jasie. I am working full-time in healthcare and from home (which gives me lots of flexibility)! Animals bring me so much joy and I love meeting new ones anywhere I go.

Right now I will focus my business on caring for cats. I have experience with special needs dogs and cats (meds, extra food prep).

I live within walking distance of multiple dog parks and I also live alone so there is plenty of safe space for the pets to enjoy.

Sophia P.
“Sophie is the best! For the past few years when I’ve traveled, Sophie moves in and takes care of my 14 yr old cat. He’s a cuddler and loves to play, but he also requires meds by syringe and has GI issues that can be sort of…gross. Because she was a Montessori teacher, Sophie was unflappable, calm and capable in all things. She’s very responsive by text/phone, and always sent pictures of my cat while I traveled which was a comfort. She’s friendly, smart, and has a good sense of humor. You’ll love Sophie!”

Amber S.
“Amber watches our dogs and elderly cat regularly for weekends away, She really cares about them and they seem to really like when she stays with them. Daggett our finicky eater, barely gives her trouble even when he's decided the latest kibble isn't up to snuff and Norbert has adopted her as his comfort person when he gets the chance. Gizmo, our 16 year old mostly blind tabby follows her around and likes to use her as a pillow. All and all Amber is a great caregiver and I can not recommend her enough.”

“Jasie is absolutely amazing with my lab and labradoodle ! Not only did she watch them while I was away on a trip but she would walk them while I was at work! She even went above and beyond and fed my cat while she was there! My dogs are absolutely obsessed with her and she treats them with such care! If I still lived in the state I would 100% hire her again!”
