“Thank you Sean! Sean was amazing with our Aussie Rusty. We were not at home for the week and Sean picked up and dropped off Rusty from our elder parents. They said he was so nice chatting with them, punctual every day, making sure Rusty got his long walks and did his business. Sean sent us a daily report card with photos along the walk and charted out new neighborhoods in our town. Rusty must have loved that! We had a heavy downpour one of the days and Sean took the time to make sure Rusty was all dried up after the walk. It was such a positive experience for us all thanks to Sean and without hesitation we would recommend Sean to any one who want their babies :) cared for when you are away.”

About: From puppies to seniors , I’ve cared for them all. I love animals of all types . I’m reliable and prompt. I have a lil pittie of my own named Kiwi. I will treat your baby as my own. I have a very open schedule right now . I am working 2 days a week but the rest are open for walks . I myself am someone who enjoys walking and loves dogs . This seemed like a perfect fit. Your pet would always be supervised . Your pets safety is my number one priority. I know myself how much I value when I have someone I can trust watching my baby, kiwi.

About: I have been around dogs all of my life. Growing up in the Hudson Valley, we had two dogs: an American Pit Bull Terrier and an APBT Staffie mix. They were the most athletic and lovey dogs! They completed a five mile hike that has a fairly long and vertical scramble section at 14 years old! In their senior years, they had medical issues so I am experienced with med management and adopting activities to their capabilities. Currently, my fiance and I have a half APBT, half Siberian Husky dog. He is the best! We adopted him from a family that kept him in his crate for so long that he bit off a large portion of the hair on his tail. He was reactive in the beginning, lunging at cars on the road and barking and lunging at dogs on walks. I used Spirit Dog Training’s reactivity course and my education in behavioral psychology and research to fix these issues. He no longer does either things and his hair has grown back in spades! We keep him busy by training him (tricks) and mentally stimulated with sniff walks and games like find it, as well as off leash time, hikes, runs, etc. We love hiking with Oto: he recently completed numerous hikes in Acadia National Park and has done Camel’s Hump in VT and Mt. Osceola in NH: he plans on completing the NH 48! In general, I love being outside and active: hiking, snowshoeing, snowboarding, running, kayaking, rock climbing and going to the gym. I love all dogs, but have a particular drive to keep working dogs happy and healthy! German Shepherds, Border Collies, Huskies, Cattle Dogs, Anatolian Shepherds: it is amazing what they can do and how they have served our communities in numerous roles for decades. I have spent a lot of time with my sister’s German Shepherd and half GSD half Anatolian dogs. I also volunteered at a therapeutic horseback riding center and rode horseback for several years; I find being around horses to be great training for how to interact with, and train, dogs. They are so big that they don’t HAVE to listen to you. Maintaining confidence (even if you don’t feel like it) and a steady hand go a long way, as well as keeping aware of their body language and behaviors. They are very sensitive creatures. In the Fall, I am starting my graduate program in clinical social work and have indicated my availability on my calendar. In general, during the Fall and Spring semesters, I will be conducting my practicum on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday each week, so am only unavailable on those days. Please share your dog's behaviors and needs with me before scheduling walks. If your dog is reactive (barks at dogs on walks or lunges) please let me know and I can adjust the walking route and make sure to give other dogs plenty of space. Let me know what their usual distance on walks is, as I can try to adjust my pace accordingly. I have a lot of experience with this (decades). If you have treats for your dog, I can take them out with me if needed.

“Karissa was amazing with being able to help out last minute. I lost Khaya over the weekend and wanted Obi to have some time with someone during the day while I was at work ti help get his mind off of everything. Karissa was extremely helpful with him, took him for some walks and gave him a little extra loving. Highly recommend Karissa!”

About: I’ve always been around animals and love to learn more about them and their owners. Always have been open to taking care of many animals and expanding my work. Have time plenty of time on weekdays and some weekends. Im open and inviting to any and every breed of cat or dog as well as other furry friends. I am able to travel for services and am willing to work around my customers! I am very diligent and pay close attention to small details especially when caring after someone else’s fur babies. As someone who has cared for animals in the past I understand the trust and respect you need to have for someone else’s home their rules and boundaries, same goes for animals. I am always open and willing to listen to concerns you may have and worries while you are away.

About: I’ve had the joy of raising and training a variety of dogs since I was a kid, including two beagles, a basset hound, and now my two golden retriever siblings. From 8-12 weeks, I’ve nurtured all with patience, love, and attention, teaching them skills like sitting, staying, belly rubs, and fetching without barking or showing aggression. I’m experienced with puppies and senior dogs alike, ensuring they receive the proper care and training for every stage of life. My dogs were always family, and now I’m bringing that same level of care and affection to your furry friends. Having raised my dogs from puppies to adults, I understand the unique needs of each stage, from playful pups to calm, loving companions. My focus is on maintaining a stress-free, positive environment while keeping your dog active and engaged. Whether it’s puppy training or senior dog care, I bring dedication and personalized attention to every visit. As a housewife who is home full-time, I have the flexibility to accommodate your pet’s needs throughout the week. Whether it’s a midday walk, extra playtime, or overnight stays, I’m available to provide consistent, loving care whenever your dog needs it. My routine revolves around keeping your pup happy, healthy, and relaxed! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced-in yard where your dog can play freely and safely. My two friendly pups, one social and the other more independent, provide a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. If your dog prefers more personal space, I can crate them as needed for their comfort and security. I pride myself in creating an environment where your pet will feel at home, with plenty of love and supervision every step of the way!

“Sophia handled Pepper's whims about her walk very well. She was a good communicator and we would hire her again!”

About: I've had the opportunity to work/volunteer at a dog kennel for 7 years. I've taken care of small puppies, big dogs, and everything in between. If you need a dog walker, house sitter, or just a play mate...I got you! I've also have two little puppies back home (Milo and Kiba)! I work fully remote, so I can stay over or swing by if needed! My time is fairly flexible, but would like a days notice of possible. Can make this a frequent routine! I unfortunately cannot provide housing as I live in an apartment complex at does not allow it. However I'm free to come over and visit if provided!

“Cristina has walked and cared for my VERY high energy 6 month old puppy three different times. She was responsible and communicative and we will definitely be having her back!”

About: I have taken care of pets of family and friends for the past 12 years. This includes, feeding, walking, bathing, and boarding. I also have experience volunteering with animals of all kind and working at a veterinary clinic and farm, specifically working with the animals. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule, especially for dog walking. I am most available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm. I have a pet friendly home and live in a safe neighborhood that is dog friendly and safe for dog walking. I also live near pet friendly parks.

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, and hamsters and I am willing to experience a lot more! Don’t worry, I always enjoyed animals and providing them with love and care, so your mind will be at ease when you are away. I currently am in school full time. I am on a per diem work schedule right now. Aside from studying, I have plenty of time to see your cute companions, and spend time with them. Who knows, maybe while we’re together we can become the best study buddies As I’ve had plenty of experience with Cats, I’m well aware of choking hazards on string like materials. I try to keep items like this out of reach! I am very clean when it comes to my space and noticed that this helps as some kitty’s can be a little curious and knock things off surfaces. When things are put away correctly there’s less chance for mess or danger. I am still gaining some experience with Dogs and puppies. As far as safety, I only do leashed walks to not only protect your pup but others who may be passing by as well! Again, I'm pretty organized and will avoid leaving items out, especially food! I know some animals are very food motivated and leaving food products out can be dangerous.

“Molly is outstanding!! I am a very anxious person when it comes to leaving my dogs in the hands of someone else and I cannot emphasize enough how caring, loving and attentive she has been with my pups! Highly recommended Molly if you are looking for an extra hand with your furry loved ones!”
