About: Dogs have always been a central part of my life. Having owned my own dog and successfully trained my family's dogs, I understand the patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement required to build good habits and keep dogs happy. Whether your dog is a high-energy puppy learning the ropes or a mature dog set in their ways, I know how to adapt my approach to their personality. I’ve run my own business for the past 5 years my schedule is flexible. And live right near a a dog friendly park for nice walks I give my dogs a daily routine and stick to a strict schedule for them with walks almost everyday. I also have experience giving medicine and taking care of dogs with extra needs
“Matt is very reliable and good with my dogs!! Matt has even gone the extra mile when I had asked him last minute to let my contractor in when I wasn't able to leave work! Glad to have found Matt when I moved to this area!”
About: I have been a dog owner for over 30 years. I have played with crazy puppies and I have cuddled with those in their old age. I have a very flexible schedule and I am comfortable with all breeds. I have a very open schedule. Morning, afternoons and early evening are available. I am open to working any day of the week as well. I would care for the pets in their home the same way I would my own - with love, care and playfulness. All pets deserve love and care.
“Jacob is great!!! He has a great personality, he's was really good with my dog and very caring. Great communication. He sent me a really nice update after walking Lucas. Highly highly recommended. He's the BEST!!!!! I'll definitely keep working with him.”
About: I’ve taken care of and trained dogs since I was 10. Friends and Family come to me with dog sitting needs I’m reliable and am comfortable with large and small dogs. I am currently working from home at a hybrid job and occasionally have to leave the house for a monthly meeting. Dogs make life better. I take the dogs out to play outside and throw a ball for them, they usually rest after all that, and I give them a little training and alot of love during the day. I walk them in a few different parks so they’re always entertained. The dogs hang out with me all day and are fed as per their owners request.
About: Hi! I have a mini goldendoodle puppy who is super friendly and spunky. I got him as a graduation gift to myself during my senior year of college at Northwestern, and I moved here with him last summer! When I was in college, I helped my cousin who lived in the city with his puppy by watching him on the weekends and walking him throughout the week. I've also nannied and babysat for years, too, for large families, so I'm pretty good at dealing with chaotic situations. I'm very active, and I am happy to help however I can. I understand everyone has different needs/routines for their pups, so let me know how best I can help! I work a few other jobs, but I'm never at work for more than 5 hours (usually less) without coming home for a bit. I have a lot of flexibility with my hours and days, so let me know how I can accommodate to your needs! My puppy has free roam of my apartment. I have a Furbo that I use to keep an extra set of eyes on him in case anything happens. I have a dog area on my building's rooftop, and my neighborhood is extremely dog-friendly and walkable, so there are many options!
About: I’ve worked as an intern at a doggy day care (what a good dog) as well as house sit many of my friend's/family friends pets. I would take them on walks as well as feed and play with them. I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was in 8th grade and love animals more than anything. I have a dog that i’ve had since I was 5 years old and I take her on walks every day and feed and take care of her along side my family. I always feed my dog and take her out on walks. I always respect a pets boundaries and will give them love and attention as well.
“Perfect doggie care taking, walking, feeding and loving care. Also thank you for the feeding and watering of Nala the cat as well! Love the pictures and great description and clear and descriptive communication. Both doggie and cat and us humans are lucky to have found you!”
“My dog Loki had a fantastic time going for walks and romps in the fields with Lauren. He's a high energy puppy and I enjoyed seeing his daily updates Lauren provided, that gave me peace of mind while I was away. Definitely will use her services again. Thanks a ton Lauren.”
About: With experience as a former veterinary technician, I have a strong background in providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care for dogs and cats. I’m experienced with administering medications, maintaining daily routines, and providing general pet care while paying close attention to each animal’s individual needs. I’ve worked in a variety of animal shelters and kennels, giving me experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and behavioral needs. I have a particular understanding of dog behavior and am comfortable working with shy, nervous, or anxious dogs and cats. My goal is always to help each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I also previously fostered puppies through the Brandywine SPCA, where I helped prepare them for adoption by teaching basic commands, manners, and foundational training. Before each pet-sitting stay, I like to meet with you and your pets so I can learn their routines, preferences, personalities, and specific needs. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them with the same patience, attention, and care I would give my own. Your pets’ safety and well-being are always my top priorities I currently work full-time at a kennel with a consistent schedule, including the same days off each week. My typical shifts are six hours, with occasional 10-hour weekend shifts. I receive my schedule two weeks in advance, allowing me to plan ahead and maintain flexibility for additional work commitments While I’m currently unable to have pets in my own home, I’m happy to travel to your home to provide pet-sitting services. I like to meet both you and your pets beforehand so they can get comfortable with me in their own environment. This also gives me the opportunity to learn about their routines, personalities, and individual needs while getting to know you and building a trusting relationship. I love spending quality time with pets, whether that means playing with dogs and cats, giving them attention and companionship, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. :::
About: With vet tech experience and a lifelong passion for dogs, I provide knowledgeable and loving care. Having cared for pets since I was 10, I understand their needs, behaviors, and health cues. You can trust your babies will be happy, safe, and well-loved while in my care! As a full-time college student, I have a flexible schedule that makes it easy to prioritize your pet’s care. I’m an early riser, enjoy staying active, and love spending time with animals, so walking, playing, and caring for your pet will always be a top priority in my day! My goal is for you to have peace of mind while you're away. Whether I'm in your home or your pet is in mine, you can be assured that they are in a safe, well-maintained environment. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, given plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection :)
About: I have been caring for my grandparents dogs while they go on vacation ever since I was 10, always making sure they were walked, fed, and kept in clean conditions. Caring for animals is never about just getting the job done for me, I genuinely love animals of all kind and enjoy interacting with them and getting to know each pets personality. In the absence of pets of my own, I have even taken to befriending crows, squirrels, chipmunks, and more in my backyard so that I still get to engage with animals daily. I currently only work part time on certain days, allowing me full freedom to care for your animals as often as needed to ensure they do not get lonely or bored while you are away! I always make sure the animals basic needs are met—food, water, and physical/mental stimulation—but also go above and beyond to make the animal feel loved and less anxious while their families are away.
About: Hello ~ I am a stay at home mom and enjoy spending time with all my pup friends. I am happy to offer dog boarding at my home. Currently, I am catering to small 0-15 lbs & medium size dogs up to 35 lbs. Your pet(s) will be treated like family and will have access to a very large backyard that is fenced in, so your dog(s) will never feel confined and will have plenty of room to run/exercise, play & explore or simply chill under a tree. Also the entire property has surveillance cameras, so everyone will be well protected. I have three super friendly small/medium size dogs that have been very well socialized and are always SO happy to welcome a new play pal! A 'meet & greet' will ensure we are a good fit:) Photos and or videos will be provided to you everyday. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Looking forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Thanks, ~M As a stay at home mom, with the kiddos in school during the day, I have extra free time to give the dogs the attention and quality care you seek in a pet sitter. Also my husband works from home, so the house is always attended👍 I have been fortunate to have met the most wonderful pet parents who now have been repeat clients for years. A favorite feature is our backyard, located on a one acre property is fenced in and it's as large as a small park, this allows for plenty of healthy exercise and fun play or simply chilling at a favorite spot. I walk the backyard every day to ensure there is no debris that can cause harm to the dogs. Also the yard is kept leveled so that there are no accidents when running. To make sure everyone is well hydrated, fresh clean water is accessible to the dogs every day at all times, inside of the house and in the backyard.
About: Hi, I’m Sydney! I have over 4 years of experience working at two different dog boarding and daycare facilities — Wagsworth Manor and What a Good Dog — where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to seniors who need extra patience, I’m confident handling them all. What sets me apart is that I’m also a pet photographer 📸! You’ll always receive fun, quality photo updates while your pets are in my care, and if you’re interested in a more professional session, I can offer photography as an add-on service. I also have experience with bathing, nail trims, and administering different types of medications, so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands. I usually work early mornings (6am-2pm most days) which means I am mainly available afternoons, evenings and overnights for house sitting, walks and drop-in's. I keep my calendar updated weekly so you will always know when I am available! I believe dogs feel their happiest and safest when their normal routines are followed. That's why I take my time getting to know each dog's unique personality, quirks, and the little things they love most. There is no such thing as oversharing when it comes to your pets. You can expect consistent updates and photos so you are in the loop on how things are going. I respect and care for your space, making sure everything stays clean, safe, and secure, especially during house sitting while you are away.

Jaclyn was wonderful with my dog Cinder, available on short notice and flexible/accommodating on visit times. She kept Cinder engaged and active, including going on long neighborhood walks, and sent photos and updates during the visit which put me at ease while at work. I very much plan to use Jaclyn again in the future and highly recommend her walking and sitting services!
Malavika is a lifesaver! My big dog took to her right away, which gave me so much peace of mind. She’s wonderful at keeping me updated and always makes sure his walks are the highlight of his day. I really appreciate how reliable and attentive she is to my specific instructions. I’ll definitely keep using her services and recommend her to everyone! Five stars!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Colonial Way. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
