About: I’ve always felt a strong connection to animals, so as a teenager a started my journey into taking care of them. I have years of experience doing pet sitting, drop-ins, dog walking and boarding, I worked at a dog kennel for 2 years which furthered my knowledge in this profession. I’ve volunteered at shelters. I did 4H with animal care being my main focus. I am currently enrolled at QC Career school earning my dog training/ grooming certificates. I’m a full time pet sitter/dog walker. I’m a stay at home, I have two children 8 and 10 years old. Being at home everyday allows me to be there for your pet throughout their entire stay. I can do drop-ins/walks Mon-Fri and can do any day of the week for over night boarding and daycare. Taking care of animals is my passion and what I do best. My home is set perfectly to accommodate multiple animals. I have separate rooms/areas of the house I can block off to make any type of situation work. My yard is over two acres with a couple of fenced in areas for the dogs. I also have a long runner that allows the dogs to roam around the entire yard. I am with the pets at all time, I will always have eyes on them.I have crates inside but rarely use them unless needed for my dog so our furry guests get top priority. It is so important to me that your pets are comfortable and happy.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life, from childhood through adulthood. I’ve looked after my own dogs as well as my mom’s and other family members’ dogs, giving me experience with different breeds, energy levels, and routines. I’m active and enjoy walks—especially longer walks for dogs who need extra exercise or endurance. I’m detail-oriented, follow owner instructions closely, and understand how important consistency is. I also have experience administering medication and providing attentive, reliable care. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine always come first As a parent, I maintain a reliable and flexible schedule. I am consistently available during school hours every week. In addition, on alternating weeks, I have open availability Monday through Sunday, allowing for extended care, walks, and last-minute requests during those weeks. Your pet’s safety comes first. I’m detail-oriented with medications and care instructions and always follow owner guidelines closely. I choose safe environments for walks and play and care for every animal with patience, attentiveness, and the same level of responsibility I would give my own.

“Dani is AWSOME. She was very patient with my mini schnauzer Toby.He likes to sniff everything and gets upset with other dog walkers when they rush him. She brought her dog Greyhound Zeke who is well behaved and adorable.”

About: Hi, I'm Ryan. I've been studying dog behavior since I was employed by a dog trainer in my early high school years. I've been passionate about canine behavior ever since. I'm currently deep into my training certification studies with CATCH Canine Trainers Academy and work daily with student dogs and their owners to sharpen my skill and understanding of humankind’s best friend. I believe that through structure and reward, any family can have a happy, healthy, and well-behaved dog. I'm confident and excited to take great care of your pal during our outdoor adventures! I’m currently studying full-time with CATCH Canine Trainers Academy, and my availability is open on weekdays during daylight hours, with occasional Sunday sessions also available. I dedicate all of my time to learning, growing, and working with dogs — continually expanding my experience and understanding of them. Our hikes will be recorded whenever possible and recordings can be shared upon request to help evaluate or better understand your dog’s behavior. Photos may also be provided during the hike if we’re in a service zone. Each route is mapped using Map My Walk, allowing you to review the exact path, distance, and notes about trail conditions after the session. At the end of every hike, you’ll receive a detailed, hour-by-hour summary of your dog’s engagement and relevant notes. For safety, all dogs remain leashed and secured with an anchor hand or wrapped over the wrist with a firm grip throughout our travels. I also wear a bright reflective orange vest during every hike to ensure both myself and your dog remain highly visible at all times. A fully stocked canine first-aid kit is carried as well to provide immediate care in case of minor injuries or emergencies. This ensures every dog returns happy, healthy, and well-exercised. Only one dog is taken per walk to guarantee my full attention to your friend and their safety.

About: Hi! I’m JuJu, a happy-go-lucky animal lover who’s had pets my entire life. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, birds, and even farm animals — I never had to ask Santa for a pony because I actually had one! Being around animals has always come naturally to me, and I treat every pet with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, snuggles, slow-and-steady care, or a fun walking buddy, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and adored while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and great at following routines. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you always know how your furry family member is doing. I can’t wait to meet your pets and make them feel right at home! I’m a mom getting settled here in Massachusetts, and I currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to fit drop-ins and walks around my other duties, and I’m happy to help even on holidays. If you need reliable care at a specific time, just let me know—chances are I can make it work! I always make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for while staying in their own home. I follow your routines closely so everything feels familiar and comfortable for them. They’ll have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I’m very mindful of safety—whether I’m giving them playtime, keeping them company, or taking them for a walk. I also send photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s comfort and happiness truly matter to me.

About: I am an active human and love the companionship of dogs for walks and hikes, as well as a snuggle on the couch. I have cared for puppies as well as senior dogs. I am currently unemployed and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule as well as appreciate the routine of pet care to help me build routine of my own in this moment of unemployment. It is important for me to learn before caring for a pet about their quirks and it is my goal to build trust both with you and your furry friend
