“So thrilled to have Ella back walking our girl after a scheduling change. She is always prompt, thorough and an excellent communicator, plus our girl adores her. Cannot recommend Ella enough!”


“Audrey was great right from the meet and greet and on! Millie, who is usually very timid, warmed up to her in seconds. Audrey was a great support walking my dog while a family member who can no longer walk her far watched her. She was extremely punctual and great with communicating all aspects of their walks. Highly recommend.”


About: I attended dog camp for several years where I trained cocker spaniels and helped train the family dog for years. I have also watched over neighbor’s cats and dogs before. I’m currently working two or three times a week so I have lots of time for walks! Morning or afternoon I’m more than happy to spend some time with your pup. We have a dog-proof home and a fenced yard for our pup. She is leash-trained and knows lots of commands such as “wait”, “go ahead”, and “roll over” :)

“Antonio is an amazing dog walker. He brings treats for my dog, Kapu, and makes sure Kapu takes water breaks during his walks. I’m almost never home when Antonio comes but I assure you that you can trust him 100% with any task. He knows where my house keys are & he leaves everything back in its place and always brings my dog safely back home after every walk. I really trust this guy & He’s always the first person I turn to when I need someone to walk my dog. Also, my dog is pretty big and really needs to get his exercise in, most dog walkers can barely get a mile done in a hour but Antonio pretty much always walks 2 miles with my dog which is AMAZING since my dog can become pretty destructive when he’s home alone & full of energy but luckily he comes home to sleep after his walk! I am looking forward to continuing to work with Antonio! Thanks for everything!”

About: I am a dog lover who loves spending time with dogs and understanding their need for play and comfort. I do well with all types of dogs and adore my two golden doodles at home ages 9 and 5. I am comfortable taking dogs out for daily, weekly or off cycle walks whenever the owner needs to go on vacation, take a day trip, or a night out. You are a great listener and follow an owner’s requirements for daily care whether that is replacing water bowls, gentle brushing, walking dogs in a specific way, or even extra cuddles :) .

About: I was born with a lab and a golden retriever, and have since lived with another golden, and two German shepherds, as well as two cats. I have helped train the shepherds from puppies and know how to handle large dogs in situations and walks. I now administer elder care and medication for my cat. I am not starting school until the end of August - from August 1-25th I am free for day of visits and multiple visits a day. I will change my schedule once the semester begins. I can easily crate dogs/cats, and take them for drives in my car to go on walks, to parks, or to get treats, or for any emergency necessary vet visits. I’m happy to bathe the animal if it gets dirty, or put on any necessary pet clothing (shoes, sweaters, etc). I am willing to wipe down paws and other parts before returning inside if the owner prefers.

“I am highly impressed with Evan’s reliability, communication, and patience. From our first meeting, he demonstrated a commitment to understanding my dog's needs and has shown up on time for every walk. His patience is evident as he took the time to build a rapport with my dog, ensuring a comfortable and safe experience. I also appreciated the regular updates and photos, keeping me informed about my dog's activities. I feel confident that ‘my girl’ is well cared for. I highly recommend Evan to anyone seeking a trustworthy and communicative service!”

About: I've been taking care of animals since we got our pups Buffy and Willow when I was 10 years old. They were a Maltese/Shih Tzu mix, so cute! Since then I have owed 3 Guinea pigs (Cairo, Jupiter and Poppy) and a cat (Meshka). I'm thankful that I have a low-maintenance pet like Meshka because I work full time at my 9-5. I do have cameras in my house so I can keep an eye on Meshka thought-out the day. I remember when I got him as a 2 month old I would always go home during my lunch breaks to check up on him for the first 6 months that I had him. When I leave for work I make sure not to leave anything hazardous out. I usually keep the bathroom and kitchen doors closed so Meshka doesn't get into those rooms while I'm away

I will also make sure not to leave toys, shoes, etc that could be a safety hazard when I’m not around. Any other requests I assure will be easy to fulfill!

About: I have always grown up living with dogs. Personally I had 4 little dogs, 2 Bichon's and 2 Toy Poodle's in my own house, but I always was the person in the family to "babysit" the other dogs in the family. I'd feed, bathe, and walk the dogs depending on what was needed and I have always managed to get along with any dog I meet. I am currently a full time student at Roger Williams University and am working a part time marketing job that is remote. I have a good amount of time during the day since my classes are normally in the morning at 8-10 and other classes are at night from 6-9. Th When I usually sit, I tend to hang out with the dog for a longer time than usually, especially if they have been alone for awhile. Depending on where the location is and if it is nice out I'd be more than happy to take the pup on a walk or even play fetch outside.

About: I’ve always had a dog and/or a cat. I cared for my family dogs all throughout my life and I’ve also cared for fish, birds, lizards, and frogs. I’m ok with snakes too, but don’t have care experience. Currently in a place where we can only have a cat and I miss having a dog so much. I’m in outside sales and I have a lot of experience working in other people’s homes and getting along with their pets. I’ve also done some pet and house sitting on occasion throughout my life, and it’s always been a joy. I just love dogs and cats and I’d be happy to help take care of yours! I have a flexible schedule with no specific routine. I have client appointments at varying times each week, so I can work around that. If you need a consistent schedule, I can plan for that as well. In your home I will be happy to learn your pets routine and boundaries. I can feed, change water, crate, give medicine, play games and take your pet out for potty time. I’m ok with cleaning up puppy pads for puppies only. Adult dogs I am fine with walking or outdoor cleanup.

Vito C.
“I cannot recommend Vito enough. My dog is a challenging case, but she warmed right up to Vito in no time.

I've entrusted my dog to him on multiple occasions and he has never disappointed.”
