“I’ve used Nick multiple times for walking my two dogs and he has been fantastic. Always very communicative, flexible with scheduling, and takes great care of them. He’s been cautious of the extreme heat and brings his own water dish along for the dogs to help keep them cool. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! Your pet will love him!”

“We’ve had such a great experience with Ethan and can’t recommend him enough. He’s always punctual, incredibly accommodating, and so kind and patient with our dog, Leo. It’s clear he genuinely cares and treats Leo with respect and attentiveness every time. We’ve loved working with Ethan on a regular basis and truly appreciate his reliability and professionalism. We’re very much looking forward to continuing our ongoing services with him!”

“Kellin is great! She responded back really quickly even with my short notice. She sent me pictures and updated me during my dog’s walk. I’m pleased with her service and will definitely recommend!”
“Thea is Franks favourite! My golden loves walks with Thea and just the excitement he has when she arrives is adorable. Thea is always very communicative, trustworthy, kind, and they always cover *a lot* of ground together - I always end up with a happy and tired pup! Would aboslutely recommend Thea to anyone.”
About: Let me start off by saying I am so excited to meet your four (or three!) legged best friend. Animals make my heart happy and I will provide all the love and care you would if you weren't away. I have a Bachelors of Science in Large Animal Science. I have volunteered at animal shelters to walk all the rescues. I worked at a 24 hour emergency Vet hospital renowned on the East Coast , I owned two rescues well into their late teens. I love all shapes and sizes and personalities. If you dog wants to run, we will be morning joggers. If your dog wants to play, I'm a tug of war champion. I do work full time so if your dog needs a lot of attention throughout the day I would not be a good fit M-Th. I believe in transparency and will always let you know prior to any booking should I foresee it not being the best match for your pets needs. I’m currently a full time Rover sitter- so your pet is my number 1 priority. We follow their schedule - whether it’s set feeding and walking times - or free time play and nap as you please. I aim to make this temporary change in caretaker as seamless as possible. Just a slight change in scenery and a lot more 1:1 time. I treat your pet like my own (unless you don’t allow them on the furniture, because I need to snuggle those babies!) I prefer to be with your pet as much as possible, and if I need to leave the house I prefer to bring them with me.
“Sandy is the best walker we’ve ever had!! She’s so good with our high energy, crazy golden boy and I know he loves her too. Sandy has been easy to trust since the start and has always been super responsive. Cannot recommend her enough!”
About: What sets me apart is my focus on reliability, attention to detail, and genuinely caring for each pet as if they were my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to learn their habits, energy levels, and comfort needs to make sure they feel safe and stress-free. I’m patient and attentive with both energetic puppies and older pets. With puppies, I can help reinforce basic routines like house training, consistency, and positive behavior. With senior pets, I’m gentle, observant, and mindful of their pace, comfort, and any special care they may need. I also communicate clearly and consistently with owners, providing updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind while ensuring your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Thanks for taking your time to read my profile - hoping to hear from you soon. Thank you. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure to dedicate focused, quality time for each pet. I am available on weekends and select weekdays, which allows me to be flexible and consistent with visits, walks, or check-ins. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive proper attention, care, and companionship without feeling rushed. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I make sure each visit is attentive and tailored to their needs. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and the service requested. My goal is to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule as closely as possible. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. I ensure they have regular feeding times, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also monitor their behavior closely to make sure they are comfortable and stress-free. In my clients’ homes, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, litter cleaning, and any special care needs. I spend quality time with the pet so they feel secure and not alone, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos. My approach is always attentive, reliable, and focused on making pets feel safe and well cared for in any environment.
About: I love animals and have 10 years experience caring for my own dog Rosie (who passed away in November). I have experience with both dog and cat sitting including potty training and teaching tricks. I am a small business owner who works from home. I set my own schedule and have plenty of flexibility to care for your pet. I love going on long walks and having a pet by my side throughout the day! I have a secure fenced in backyard and a house with 3 floors for your pet to explore. As previous dog owners, we are fine with animals on the furniture.
“Miranda has been walking my dog, Stanley, for a little while now and she has been nothing short of incredibly responsible, conscientious and reliable. I would absolutely recommend Miranda to any dog owner.”

Sarah has been wonderful in caring for my dog and walking him while I'm away at work. She is accommodating, flexible, and understanding. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was there with Bartley. I look forward to asking her for further walks and working with her. Thank you so so much for your time, effort, and love
Paige is awesome, the way she connects with dogs we’ve never seen our puppy loving someone so much at the first sight it was so sweet to see it! We love her, he loves her, she’s very good at taking care of pets and we felt so confident and relieved about her being his sitter, she’s very reliable, kind and caring 😊
