About: Lifelong cat expert and passionate dog sitter! Even though I’ve grown up, watched, and cared for cats since I was born, I have then transferred this experience to the pups around me. Whether in my family or in my close circle of friends, I extend my compassion and care to all animals In the morning when I’m up for work I feed my cats. When I have free time before I leave I play with them, and of course when I come home I give them a warm greeting. They are fed again at night and I make sure to give them all the snuggles, love, and playtime inbetween it all. My cats are STRICTLY indoor cats and do not leave the house. They are trained to run away when the door opens but Luna sometimes gets curious about outside
“Meredith was amazing, my dogs loved her! I have an 80lb Weimaraner and 26lb beagle and they aren’t the easiest dogs to walk together. My Weimaraner can be reactive to other dogs, sometimes pulls, and they both sort of go their different paces with the beagle stopping to sniff constantly. My neighbors and family that saw her out with my dogs said she handled them beautifully and we had no issues. My Weim also doesn’t love everyone he meets, and he immediately took to her, trying to lean/snuggle with Meredith, so she must give off the good vibes to animals. Meredith was also very communicative. I never worried that she wouldn’t show and an added bonus was the photos she sent. I would definitely recommend using Meredith and will use her again myself :)”

About: I am an energetic, fit, happy, mature and reliable work from home mom of a 12yo dog. I have been sitting for friends and family for decades. I am looking to add some more dog happiness to my life by helping you with your dog care, sitting, walking (jogging), and playing needs. I have lots more love and affection to share and plenty of flexibility in my schedule to fill in the gaps for you and your pup. I can't wait to meet them and you! Boarding in my home will be limited to just your dog(s) so that your pet(s) and mine are receiving the attention and love they deserve. I am not currently working full time so I have flexibility to spend time and bond with your precious fur baby - no skimping on the attention! I have a large fenced yard and a dog door for my own boy (and we go for lots of walks too). We love to snuggle on the couch and play freely. It is a very loving and fun environment.
“Samantha was GREAT! She is the sweetest person and communicated really well with us. She brought Callie on a long walk and took some super cute pictures along the way! It's obvious that she loves dogs ◡̈ We will definitely be requesting her again!”
“Had the pleasure of Johnathan walking my boy Kingston today. I always tend to get a bit nervous due to the stigma behind his breed & people who have underlining fear but Johnathan was confident and reassuring that he could handle my big boy who is very loving but is heavy lol. He came back very happy with a big dorky wet smile , I would absolutely recommend especially if you have big dogs who like to tug a bit on the leash 🙏🏽❤️”
“We were very happy with Grace and she took great care of our girl while we were gone for a long day! She took our pup on a nice long walk and sent us photo updates which we very much appreciated. We will definitely use Grace again in the future.”
“Five stars for John, no question! Charlie was so well taken care of — John sent us tons of cute photos and it was obvious how much he adored him. We felt completely at ease knowing Charlie was in such loving hands. Highly recommend! 🐾”
About: Hi, I’m Alix, a lifelong animal lover with 20+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve had the joy of raising a big, lovable Bouvier, two adorable Yorkies—one had diabetes who needed daily insulin shots—and I’ve shared my home with a playful Frenchie. Now, I live with two Bouviers and a very spoiled Tuxedo cat, so I’m no stranger to dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities! I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat your furry family like my own. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or a leisurely stroll, I’m here to make their day the best it can be. It’s a pet’s life, and I’m lucky to be living in it! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I can care for your furry friend at any time during the weekdays and weekends too. Pets I care for get regular feeding or feeding based on dietary needs, along with regular exercise. They always have access to drinking water. I take them out to the bathroom regularly and ensure they either have a safe fenced in area to play or walk them on a leash. I take dogs I care for a walk to maintain exercise. I always ensure to have the number of their vet for any emergencies. I also make sure to give them plenty of love!!

Looking too keep busy and get my walking in also. I have a truck so snow and rain will not stop me. I’m very experienced walking dogs and ensuring they are safe. I’ve walked big strong Labs and small dogs also. I am trust worthy and could House sit/dog sit if required. I also have gone to homes 4 times a day while a client is away and walk them/feed them, etc.
“Meg was great! She stepped up last minute to walk my dog in the cold and I couldn’t recommend her more. My dog was instantly comfortable with her when we did our meetup, and she made me feel at ease with pictures, videos, and updates of him after each walk. She was also very thoughtful and brought over salt to sprinkle on my property after the big storm without even being asked. She went above and beyond and I will definitely be booking with her again next time I go away. Thanks again Meg!”
About: I am a longtime pet owner and sitter who understands that all pets have their own personalities and adjust my care accordingly. Some dogs need energy and excitement! While others just want someone to pet them softly and tell them how good they are. Dogs have their own minds and body language, something I’m well versed in, and something I will use to make sure your dog is as comfortable and safe as they can. I’m currently freelancing, so I have a lot of free time to take care of your fur babies! I can work morning, noon, and nights, so whenever I am needed, I can be there! I have a large home with a big back yard for dogs to roam, and a lot of soft couches next to warm vents for cats to loaf on
About: I've loved dogs since I was a child. Me, my sister and the neighborhood kids would all walk our dogs together after school. We'd train them to do tricks and basic things (sit, lay down etc). I recently moved into my own apartment about a year ago and have found myself in need of extra money and thought this would be perfect. I currently work full time tuesday-friday. I'm off mondays and weekends so I have some free time. There is a little park near my apartment perfect for walking dogs. Unfortunately I do have a cat and my apartment has certain rules about pets so I won't be able to watch pets in my own home.
About: I have been working with animals for over 20 years with the last 18 years working in the Veterinary field as a highly trained specialty technician. I have cared for pets of all species and stages of life, from puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs.I can provide professional care for your loving pet including those that require special treatment due to ongoing medical issues. Feel secure leaving your pets in the hands of someone who is highly medically trained and has a love and compassion for animals that I have dedicated my life to. Whether your pet needs a quick walk while you’re working late or medication administered at a certain time everyday, I would be happy to offer my expertise and services.
“Adrianna is the best dog walker! Always takes very good care of my dog Tilly. She’s easy to communicate with and very reliable. Highly recommend Adrianna to walk your dog !”
About: I have had dogs and other pets ever since I was 10 years old. I have always felt they are a crucial member of our family. I believe they deserve the best care and attention, as they truly are our best friends. I enjoy my own dogs companionship and unconditional love. I completely understand first hand the value they give to the quality of our lives. I would love to help other furry parents feel comfortable knowing their dogs are in good hands with me as I will treat your pups like family when they need an extra helping hand. I have great flexibility as I am an instacart shopper with a flexible schedule. I can work with the client to work or a schedule. I have a fenced in yard. We walk both of our dogs daily. They are secure and have Identification tags as well. I believe in safety first.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’ve raised my own pup since she was just 8 weeks old. Because of that, I’m really comfortable with routines, structure, and all the day-to-day things that help dogs feel secure. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’ve trained my family’s dogs over the years and I’m always happy to keep up with whatever training plan you already have in place. I’ve also had the incredible experience of fostering multiple dogs, which has deepened my love for animals and taught me how to adapt to different personalities and needs. I love getting dogs outside; beach walks, park trips, or just a good sniff-filled stroll around the block. And if your dog enjoys car rides, I’m completely comfortable driving them where they need to go. At the end of the day, I treat every dog like they’re my own: with patience, structure, and a whole lot of love. I’m currently in nursing school and Im a certified yoga instructor, but caring for my own dog is a built-in part of my day. No matter how busy things get, I make time for her walks, her routine, and her little moments of attention, and I bring that same consistency to any dog I’m watching. I’m a pretty active person by nature, so if I’m not in class or teaching a yoga session, I’m usually out getting some fresh air in some way, and having a dog with me just makes it better! Whether it’s a quick neighborhood stroll or a longer outing, I’m always happy to get a pup out and moving. In my home, dogs have access to a fully fenced yard where they can safely explore, play, and get their energy out. I always keep an eye on them during playtime so everything stays safe and comfortable! I’m totally fine handling feeding routines and using crates if that’s part of what your dog is used to, especially when I step out of the house. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick to whatever routines you already have in place. If your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing indoors, I’ll match that! I focus on making your pet feel secure and at ease in their own space, and I stay attentive to their needs so they have a calm and positive experience while you’re away.
