“Holly is a dependable, trustworthy and loving person. I highly recommend her. I know my dog is in great hands when she’s in charge of taking care of him. She’s been working with me for almost a year now and she’s absolutely wonderful. If you need someone that you can trust and depend on to take care of your pet as well as you do, you need to hire Holly.”
“Ashley and Mauricio were wonderful with Emerson. They treated him like he was their own and made sure he had a fun, safe outing. He came back happy and tired in the best way. I really appreciated how kind and communicative they were throughout. I’d gladly have them take Emerson out again, highly recommended!”

“Chris is the absolute best!! He has walked Baxter so many times and taken care of him overnight at our house. I always know Baxter is in great hands, in the photos he sends Baxter is literally being his happiest self! I would highly recommend Chris for both walks and overnight stays! 💕”

“We couldn’t be more grateful for Stefanie! She has been a true life-saver, especially after we had our baby and needed extra help. Knowing we could count on her to take care of our dog, Astro, gave us such peace of mind during a busy and exhausting time. Astro absolutely loves his walks with her, and it’s clear Stefanie treats him like her own. She’s always on time, incredibly professional, and so caring. We feel so lucky to have found someone we trust completely with Astro. Stefanie truly goes above and beyond, and we can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“Nicole was great with our dog, Odey, on his first walk! She was patient, communicative, and shared lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. Especially helpful given his separation anxiety. Looking forward to continuing to work with her!”

“Shawn did a fantastic job taking care of my dachshund over three days. He was prompt and thorough. Followed instructions to the letter. Totally pampered my guy with long walks to his favourite spots and administered his meds as needed. Recommend him highly and plan to use him again when I have to be out of the house for work etc.”

“Michelle did so great with Zephyr! We were so worried about having to leave him alone all day for the first time. He's only 8 months old, so we really needed to break up his alone time. I was so nervous, but Michelle made everything so much better! Zephyr had the best time with her and we are definitely going to have her back!”

“Aaron is great! Super last minute he was able to accommodate me and my puppy! We had a super quick meet and greet followed by two amazing walks with him and Boris! I’m so happy to find someone with love for dogs, and also someone that has knowledge to train dogs! We really appreciate Aaron’s services and will 100% want his services again! Thank you Aaron!”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I’ve trained multiple puppies, cared for senior dogs, and have years of experience looking after cats. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always make sure each pet feels safe and loved. I currently work from home, so I have a flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. At the moment, I’m not able to offer boarding, as my own pets may not adjust well to new animals in the home. My approach is calm and understanding. I like to respect each pet’s unique personality and habits. I don’t believe in being overly strict, but I always make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I have always held a passion for animals and am dedicated to providing them with the best care. In my care, I strive to be attentive to your pets individual wants and needs. I will always make sure to provide them with tons of interpersonal attention, and interactive outdoor/play time to stimulate their mind and senses. I have 5 years experience in the pet care industry, and have a cat of my own that I care for well. I have worked with a multitude of clients and their pets, including elderly dogs and dogs that require oral medication administration. I have only worked with dogs and cats, but would love to expand and have the opportunity to care for other animals as well. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! My schedule is very flexible, and I am available for pet sitting and dog walking any day of the week. Whatever is convenient for you and your pet! I will make sure your pet sticks to their schedule and routine, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable with their favorite toy, treat, or activity.
About: five years ago today i got my rescue mutt, jackson, & he is an absolute treasure to me. i've got a nice backyard, dog parks, hiking trails, & beaches nearby. jack is especially gentle with small dogs & children & perfectly well-behaved with everyone else except squirrels & cats. i'm a freelance musician so my schedule varies a lot - some weeks i'm available 24-7, others i'm working down in nyc, or further out of town. i'm in the process of shifting towards a more local life & will update this space as that process continues, but for now, just ask & i'll answer right away. big backyard with tall fences, me & my very friendly small lab mutt mix (50 lbs), comfy home with lots of great places to run & play nearby - anything else, just ask.
About: I have always been an avid animal lover, especially a dog lover, and I have always owned dogs. I started dogsitting after I graduated from college to make some money, and I immediately fell in love with it. Being able to provide a loving environment while you're away is very important for the animals, and I strive to be the best at it. My skills include dog sitting, walking, playing, and cuddling. I will also take great care of your home and treat it with respect. I also think it is important to keep the client informed of what is going on so I do like to check in. I have experience in both dogsitting and house sitting and this would let me showcase that. I currently own a Cat and turtle and feed them daily. I also clean the litter box every two days. I also help clean the turtle tank. I would follow the walking schedule for each dog and also adhere to the feeding guidelines. For a cat I would also follow the feeding guidelines and cleaning.
“It was our first time having Hanaya help us out and she was upbeat and positive from the beginning. She cared for my two CKCS’s like they were her own. She shows a true love for dogs and her experience with them shows. I highly recommend her!”


About: my combination of professional childcare experience, animal care experience, and education in Animal Science. I recently graduated from University of Connecticut with a B.A. in Animal Science and have worked as a veterinary technician, giving me strong skills in responsibility, safety, and attention to detail. I am CPR certified for both toddlers and animals I have a flexible schedule and enjoy being around dogs. Pet care is a rewarding way to stay active, spend time outdoors, and help others I follow each pet’s routine by providing food, water, exercise, playtime, and attention while ensuring their safety, comfort, and well-being at all times.
“Katharine is absolutely wonderful! She’s reliable, caring and clearly loves dogs. My dog is so excited every time she arrives, and I always know he’s in great hands. She sends updates and photos after each walk. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind!”
