I operate with total discretion, cleanliness, and respect for your space. ------ In My Home: A Safe, Cozy Haven When your pet stays with me, they aren't just guest-starring in my week... they are part of the family. - The "Empty Nest" Advantage: With my kids grown, my home is a calm, predictable, and predictable environment. There are no chaotic schedules or unexpected guests, just a space dedicated entirely to pet comfort and security. - The Best of Both Worlds (Play & Peace): I have a large, fully fenced-in yard perfect for burning off energy and exploring safely. - Built-in Buddies or Solo Space: Your pup can socialize and play with my two friendly resident dogs. However, if your pet prefers their own space or needs a quiet nap, I have a dedicated separate room where they can rest, recharge, and enjoy some peaceful time away from the pack. - Constant Supervision: Because this is my full-time focus, your pet receives dedicated, watchful supervision, plenty of companionship, and immediate attention to their emotional and physical needs. ------ The Bottom Line on Trust I am fully committed to open communication. You will receive regular, detailed updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I manage safety with a professional eye and deliver care with a mother's heart.

“Michael is amazing! Contacted him about walking our pups. He responded within an hour and set up a meet and greet. When walking our pups he provided many details about the walk as well as pictures. We will definitely have him walk our pups again. Great experience”

About: I’ve lived with all kinds of dogs my whole life and work as a pet care supervisor at a dog daycare where I help provide luxury pet care to our clients. I absolutely love animals and am willing to work with pets that take extra time and care! I currently work part time at a dog daycare Wednesday-Saturday. During the week I leave no later than 7:30pm, meaning I’d be available any time after that. On weekends I work until 5:30pm latest and I am available for sitting/walking bookings after that time. At home I have a big pup of my own that i care for. Throughout the day I let her out in my yard as needed and take her for 3 walks a day. I make sure that she has water all day and feed her twice a daily. And of course, I give all her love and attention I possible can!

About: As a lifelong pet owner with years of hands-on experience, I know how much your furry family members mean to you. I specialize in creating a calm, loving environment, especially for dogs and cats who get a little nervous or anxious. Whether it's a leisurely walk or a cozy day of companionship, your pet will feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I treat every animal like my own, because that's the only way I know how I currently do not work and I would like to use this time to bond with pets and make lasting connections. I enjoy this type of activity and should be open most days of the week. I am meticulous and always follow all directions. I have gotten some pretty thorough briefings on pets before and then glowing reviews afterward. Pets feel safe and comfortable with me and I’m happy to provide extra reassurances to the pet parents as well.

About: I’ve always had 3+ pets at a time in my household growing up, always a combination of dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with small and large dogs!

I’m currently working full-time in person, but my boyfriend does work fully remote from our apartment. We are happy to host your pet if they need attention during the day! I’m also available to come by any time after work or on the weekends. I always ensure the environment is safe, nothing that could be harmful is in reach of the pets. I live in an apartment with an elevator and a great area to walk around.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young. I have grown up with dogs, always been around dogs and overall just love dogs! I also love walks so the combination is perfect in my mind! I now have my own puppy as well who gets along with any and all dogs! I am looking to do walks for dogs! I have a full time job plus work some weekends, so when I can I would love to take a pup on a walk! I am super respectful of others homes. I have dog sat many times, even over night for 2 weeks. I am very careful with everything I do.

“Kelly is awesome! Kelly has been walking our 6 month old Shiba Inu several days a week on a fixed schedule while we are at work. Kelly always shows up in the agreed upon window of time and takes our dog for a nice walk. She is very nice and personable and even made friends with our 5 year old son. Our dog seems very happy and we think she loves seeing her new friend! Best of all, we trust Kelly in our home and with our beloved Luna while we are not around. Thank you Kelly!”

“Iwona was excellent with Ein, my dog, and also a great communicator. She was able to do a last minute walk and really got me out of a jam, and was super fast at responding to my inquiry. My dog was happy! I'd happily book her again!”

About: I have experience training and caring for dogs and cats. I Specialize in dogs with hearing issues/ deafness. Both of my dogs are graduates of multiple behavioral and obedience classes resulting in our therapy certifications. We visit a multitude of schools, hospitals and other wellness centers. All volunteer work done by my companions and myself is strictly a passion and non profit. I was inspired by a visitation to my grandfather by a golden retriever, when my grandfather was in the hospital for open heart surgery. Seeing my grandfathers reaction to a dog visitation while he was in the hospital was a monumental moment for me that further inspired my passion and drive to work with dogs. I currently work early mornings for a government agency as an officer which gives me a lot of available free time at off times of the day and week. Making me readily available to care for your pets . A fenced yard is a must. My dogs are trained and raised to be curious and outgoing, thus a fence is needed. Although my dogs don’t need a leash, I find it’s necessary to generally have a leash attached. I allow my dogs to be curious, and put there noses where many wouldn’t generally allow. It’s important to always cover your stove switches/ burners with dog safety devices!. But ultimately I strongly believe in allowing your dogs and pets to be curious and open to learning. Dogs and cats alike are much smarter then most realize, and I believe this is there first time living as well.. and deserve the best experiences life has to offer!

About: I let sit for my sister and my god parents all the time! I spent time with their cats and dogs have taken care of them all! They love when they favorite human me watch them and we have a lot of fun together! I work 6am-2:30pm and home on the weekends and every evenings ! I would plan my schedule accordingly to make sure that they are well cared for and that they are not by themselves for any length of time! I would provide a great experience for all of who is involved! I look after them as they were my own and with care and love! They will be fed walked played with care and respect! I look after them individually and as a group and will provide support to them when needed!

“My 3-year-old, 60-pound Pit Bull/Shepherd mix is basically 60 pounds of enthusiasm with zero respect for personal space. He’s high-energy, pulls on the leash, and firmly believes every person he meets needs to be greeted with his whole body. This was his first experience with a stranger walking him, and honestly, I was more nervous for Max than I was for my dog! But Max’s experience and comfort around dogs showed immediately. He handled the situation with calm, firm confidence, kept things under control, and the walk was a success. My dog came back happy, exercised, and in one piece—and so did Max. 😂 I’d definitely trust him to walk my four-legged tornado again!”

“Rick is truly the best! We were looking for a new dog sitter and feel so lucky to have found Rick. His property is truly a dog heaven with open space for the dogs to run, play, and explore. When we first met Rick he introduced his own dogs to our dog Ruby one at a time and made Ruby very comfortable. Rick treated Ruby just like his own dog. He sent multiple videos and we could see how happy she was in his care. I highly recommend Rick! We will definitely use Rick again to care for Ruby! :)”
