“Erik has been awesome. Has been very prompt with the timing and days we had rain he let us know in advance better to reschedule. He cares for my dog and gave good ideas too on how to curb certain activities of my dog who has ski much energy.”

“Tere is an excellent provider. She is easy to communicate with, is prompt, and went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were comfortable and extremely well-taken care of. Highly recommend.”

“Mathew and Christianna are the ultimate husband-and-wife dream team! They are incredibly accommodating and genuinely eager to help with whatever we need. Genie always gets a solid, brisk walk and comes home feeling happy and content. The best part is how thrilled Genie is to see them when they arrive—you can tell they share a real, genuine connection. Highly recommend!”

“Cheryl is so kind and wonderful with dogs. We found it thoughtful of her to meet Willow on her work break before walking her for the first time later that day. I highly recommend Cheryl, you know your dog will be lovingly cared for.”

“We can't say enough wonderful things about Sam. We'd give him a 10 if that was possible! He took such great care of our dog, Cooper. This is the first time in 6+ years, since we got Cooper, that we've ever been away from him overnight, let alone a weekend as we just were. Sam communicated after each visit and sent us pictures, as well. We highly recommend you book him for your dog-sitting needs”

“Alina is THE BEST. She has been my walker for 2 dogs now with very different personalities and challenges. She has been great with them. My new dog is 2 years old and has a lot of separation anxiety and Alina was great with walks and putting him in the crate when needed. I highly recommend Alina!”

“Yvette was amazing! I was so nervous to leave my dog and am so relieved I found Yvette! Zoey loved her from day one and had a great time with her. I absolutely loved all the pics and updates throughout the week! She was also extremely accommodating with all her health needs. Highly recommend for your fur baby!!”

“Kathryn is all the things you’d want in a dog walker! Clear communication, always on time, and so caring of our dog. We get thorough and funny updates after each walk and super cute pictures of our pup! 😄🐕🐾”

“Andrea dog walked Cody on one day earlier this week (3 times during the day) and I couldn't be happier. Her communication was outstanding, plenty of photos and even documents how many times he pee-ed and pooped on each walk. She was accommodating when I had to adjust my schedule and was very reliable. She even washed out his dog food container when it was empty, which was beyond the call of duty. Andrea has a lovely manner, is very pleasant and eager to please. Would definitely work with her again.”


About: I fell in love with my ex’s dog, Rocco, and cared for him every day. After our breakup, I realized just how much I love being around dogs and caring for them. As an elementary school teacher, my availability opens up during the summer, and weekends are usually free. I’m flexible with scheduling and can often accommodate same-day requests when possible. I have experience with walks, playtime, basic training, and lots of snuggles. I even helped teach him to walk nicely on a leash and practice fun tricks. I’d love the chance to give your fur baby plenty of love, attention, and care! 🩵 As an elementary school teacher, my availability expands during the summer, and weekends are almost always free.

“We had a fantastic experience with Peter! He was incredibly easy to work with and responded right away, even on short notice. Although we didn’t meet in person, we felt completely at ease thanks to clear communication and the videos we sent him in advance. Peter went above and beyond by sharing lots of great photos of our dog, Captain, during their time together—which really put our minds at ease. Captain absolutely loved him, and it showed! We’re so grateful for Peter’s care and look forward to booking with him again in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had dogs of all sizes my whole life. I’m a reliable and compassionate person who truly loves animals and understands the importance of making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience in administering medication to dogs. I work closely with a local rescue, which has given me experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including shy or anxious pets. I am patient and attentive, and I treat every pet like family, making sure they receive plenty of love, exercise, and personalized care! I am an incoming medical student who plans to live locally. I do not currently work as I am getting ready to start school in July and spend my free time as an EMT on my town's ambulance corps, volunteering at an animal shelter, or at my local food pantry. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I want to create a calm, loving, and clean environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed.

I live on a quiet street with very little traffic, making it a safe environment for dogs.
“Maia was great!! We reached out last minute for a walk and she was able to fit us into her schedule. While we did not get the chance to meet Maia beforehand, she was kind, responsive, and put our minds at ease. Maia followed the instructions we provided and was really great with our dog Fritz. She sent us photos and shared a thorough recap after the walk. We will definitely be booking Maia again in the future!”
