“Anastacia is the best!! Fiona loves her so much and after each daily walk, Anastacia writes a very informative and cute message about her time with our good girl. It makes being away from our dog SO much easier! Can’t thank you enough! Highly recommend!!”


“Aimee was great and attentive with walking our 2.5 year old corgi. Prompt responses and availability at short notice was much appreciated! We would definitely rebook but sadly we are moving. Thank you Aimee for your kind care 😊”


“Melissa takes such good care of my pooch while I’m at work. It’s so nice to have a reliable, communicative, professional yet completely pooch obsessed person that derives joy from dog walking. ♥️”


About: Professional Pet Snuggler, Dog Walker Extraordinaire, and Treat Giver Supreme 🐾 I’m a mom of two young wild and wonderful kids (three, if you count my husband 😄) and a lifelong animal lover. I’ve lived with pets so long, I’m basically fluent in meow, woof, and squeak. With over 5 years of dog-walking experience, I’m comfy with pups of all sizes — from pocket-sized pooches to gentle giants. I’m also totally cool with cats, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and even horses. If it has fur (or whiskers), I’m in! Whether your pup needs a brisk walk, your cat needs a snack and a snuggle, or your pet rat just wants someone to chat with — I’ve got you covered. I treat every animal like part of the family (and yes, I do talk to them like they’re tiny humans). Ready to bring joy, treats, and tummy rubs — can’t wait to meet your whiskered pal! As a stay-at-home mom, part-time admin, and dance instructor, I’m no stranger to juggling schedules — and I’ve got the flexibility to fit in pet care when you need it most. Whether it’s during the school year or the summer shuffle, I can usually make it work. Need a midday walk? A last-minute drop-in? A cuddle buddy for your cat while you’re away? I’ve got you covered! I don’t offer pet sleepovers at my place (our house is already a zoo!), but I’m more than happy to come to yours. Your pets will stay comfy in their own cozy corners while I handle the food, walks, belly rubs, and more. I'm super respectful of your home and always treat it like it’s my own. I’m also very mindful of home safety and security — you can count on me to treat your space with respect and care while you’re away.

About: I have a beautiful cat named Lila now and two guinea pigs. I have a lot of experience with pets and love animals. I have pet sat for friends and family. I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. I do enjoy taking photos, so I will send lots of pictures of your fury friend while you’re away. I’m available and can work pet care around my daily and weekly schedule. I’m in between jobs right now so I have a lot of flexibility. I will make sure to watch the animal as if it's my own. I know how important your pet is to you. I will follow any rules given to me regarding your pet. I will also make sure to clean up any messes the pet makes and leave the space as clean as I got there.

“We have used Jillian’s dog walking services a handful of times and she always keeps us well informed of how the visit goes. She gets along great with our pup and takes great care of him.”

About: I recently had to say goodbye to my 8 year old black lab due to cancer. I am looking to spend some time helping others with their pet care. As a pet owner I understand how stressful time away can be due to missing your animal. Let me make your work day, work trip or vacation a little easier. I work full-time from home so I have flexibility to pet sit in your home, be available for walks or potty breaks, etc. During my free weekends I am available to stay with your pet. I am able to care for your pets in your home to make them feel safe and comfortable. This helps to avoid transportation or any settling in period.

About: Provided dog walking and sitting services to a professor at my school. Provided a family friend’s dog with potty breaks, meals, and playtime while they were away. Own two dogs of my own. I take care of two dogs, two cats, and two guinea pigs. However we also have a turtle and two parakeets in my home as well. Every day I feed the cats and guinea pigs. Dogs need to be taken outside often. Guinea pigs need their bedding changed weekly. I will make sure all instructions are followed to a T. I understand how specific pet owners are about their pet’s needs. Dogs will receive plenty of pets, cuddles, and playtime while time when I’m around. Attentive care is my goal.

About: I have had many pets since I was just 4 years old! My life has revolved around my pets since I was young, and have always been a big responsibility in my daily life. I can’t imagine my life without pets which is why even while having my own pets, I deeply love to care for others pets as well, and ensure happiness and health in their lives! I currently have 5 pets to care for, so of course everyday I am making sure to keep up with them and their needs! I am looking to work with pets as a full time job so I am hoping to be completely involved in pet care for my own, and of course others pets! Working in other people’s home I will ensure your pets are deeply cared for and looked after by making sure to follow all instructions, pay attention to each pet on a personal level and treat them as if they are my own pet!

“Alex is great with Emmy and lets her lead (stubborn girl!). He also is really responsive and flexible - great to work with to care for our somewhat reactive dog.”


“Stephanie is fantastic! She did a great job with drop in visits with my 8 week old puppy and was very knowledgeable in helping with the potty training process in my absences. She had lots of helpful tips and was super professional and communicative. Highly recommend Stephanie will all pups!”


About: On top of being a being a pet owner since I was 11 years old and owning my own pup since I was 20 years old, I worked in a doggy day care for 3 years and volunteer at an animal shelter for 7 years. My pup has done classes starting puppy kindergarten all the way to her canine good citizen certification. I work overnights and am able from 11am to 3pm. I’m available to Monday thru Friday for walks and drop ins. This is usually a time I’m doing things at home or relaxing before work. My pup is crated but we are working on being out and about in the home. In the end, it’s all about what’s safest for the fur baby!

About: I owned my own Boxer, Ava, for 9 years. She recently passed away and so I am looking to share my love, compassion and support to dog owners seeking companionship and enrichment activity for their dog. Since I work full-time, I am available to watch your dog during the weekends I am able to. Need a break from your dog so you can enjoy “me” time or have a nice weekend? Then reach out and contact me! I am a huge animal lover and therefore I am available to assist with daily activities (feeding, medications, potty time) and enrichment (walk & play time) including overnight boarding. I will accept 2 dogs at the same time if they are from the same family (additional service rate would apply). I am a home owner that provides a 'cozy' and healthy environment. I have a backyard as well as two large front yards and live in a nice area in Arundel. I will always have your dog on a long leash to allow him/her to roam safely with me tagging along. I am someone who is very structured and believe that providing consistency & structure to a dog is very important. I do not believe in striking or hitting any animal no matter the reason. I will treat your dog with care like it is my own.


About: I'm highly dependable and punctual, and I always provide clear updates so you know how the walk went. You’ll never be left wondering—just happy to see your dog getting great care and exercise while you’re away or busy. I work a full-time job Monday - Friday, with remote work at the beginning of the week and an hour-long break each day for those local to my office in Portland. My weekends are typically open, as I have Saturdays and Sundays off work. Generally speaking, I may be able to accommodate walks before 8 am and after 5 pm throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat their space and their routine with respect. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding, refreshing water, wiping paws, or giving meds—and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you're away. For walks, I tailor the pace and route to your dog’s needs and energy level. Whether they’re a high-energy pup who loves to explore or a senior who enjoys a slow stroll, I make sure they’re getting the right amount of exercise, enrichment, and love. After every visit, I send an update so you know how things went and how your pet is doing!

About: The importance of your pet and their health are very important to me. As a dog owner I am educated and have personal experience with pets. My whole life I have always had a furry friend with me and could not imagine living without one. I am very patient and understanding of shy pets. My dog, Ruby, is a rescue from Georgia who was abused. When we first got her she was very timid and would get startled by any noise around her. Now that we have had her for 2 years she is like a whole different dog. With lots of love she has finally gotten to a point of safety and happiness to enjoy her environment without worry anymore. Hopefully my story helps with your decision!


“Rhea has been wonderful! She has gone above and beyond for Honey, taking her to the dog park and teaching her basic commands. Honey is always happier on the days she sees Rhea. She is caring and trustworthy. Highly recommended.”

Katelyn G.
“When I first met Katelyn she was taking care of Harry, her lovely black lab who was diagnosed with late stage cancer shortly after we met. Her commitment to Harry's care and the consistent attention she provided to him reflect the responsibility and love that any pet owner would want to see when having someone watch their pet. Katelyn is very conscious of what an animal is feeling and goes out of her way to make sure they are comfortable, entertained, happy, well-fed, and safe. If you are considering having Katelyn watch your pet, know that she is amazing and the best pet caregiver I have met!”
