About: Experienced in caring for dogs, cats, and small pets—feeding, walking, grooming, administering medication, and providing loving attention. Reliable, attentive, and comfortable with pets of all ages and needs. I am a full time accountant that works from home with plenty of time and flexibility to accommodate pups needs. I am available weekdays and weekends. I live in a smoke free, child free apartment complex with my husband. I can only care for one pet at the time and I do not have any other pets.

“This last week Irene and James have been a lifesaver! I now need to have my dog in daycare full time which she is not used to and usually very nervous. I’ve had my dog stay with Irene and James for dog sitting and could not be happier. My dog has thrived staying with them. She is comfortable, eats, drinks water, and interacts with them instead of shutting down. I have been so amazed by their care of my dog and the consistent text and photos updates throughout the day. So thankful to have found Irene and James to care for my dog and fully recommend them for any dog care services!”

About: I have 4 years of experience as a reliable and caring dog walker, providing daily walks, exercise, and companionship for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I prioritize each pet’s safety, well-being, and routine, and have built strong relationships with both pets and their owners through consistent, trustworthy care. I am a recent grad school graduate and I am available to walk your dog when it fits your schedule. I have a flexible schedule to help walk, watch and care for your dog but I am mainly available during the weekdays. I care for the dogs I watch as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. I follow their individual routines, including feeding, walking, and any special instructions from their owners. I provide plenty of playtime, attention, and affection, and I always monitor their behavior to ensure they're happy and healthy. Whether it’s a quick walk or extended pet-sitting, I aim to create a stress-free experience for both the dogs and their owners.

About: I've taken care of several dogs of various personalities and ages, and I'm a former pet owner (of a cat) myself. I enjoy taking care of animals and making owners reassured that their pets are A-OK. I have taken a buyout offer (deferred resignation) from my federal agency, so I am not currently working and have a very flexible schedule that allows for pet-sitting. I live in a dog-friendly condominium community. My condo unit is up a single flight of stairs from the building entrance making it easy to hop out for walks around my community. There is a very popular dog park along a stream (Four Mile Run) within about a 10-minute walk. There is also a woodsy park with a walking/biking trail across the street. Within my condo unit, I have space for a crate if needed. My condo unit also has a balcony overlooking a tranquil courtyard area with birds and squirrels to look at.
“My dog Brittany was a little hesitant for me to leave, but Laura made her so comfortable and sent me pictures of her during play time, napping, and overall making herself at home! We will definitely be back.”
About: I am a lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. I love spending time with animals and would be happy to look after your dog when needed. I have taken care of dogs of different sizes and breeds since 2015. I am a teacher and I am available Monday-Friday after 4pm and anytime during the weekends to take care of your dogs and to give them the attention they need when you are away! Since I will be responsible for checking on your pets, I will make sure that their necessities are being met. I promise your dog will receive the love and attention it deserves.

“Justyna was our live in nanny for several years, and during that time she became a primary caregiver to our dog, Sky. Sky absolutely adored Justyna who would take her on long walks to all her favorite spots and also play and comfort her at home during "down time". Justyna has since moved out, though she still comes over to play with Sky and take her for walks. Sky is always soooo excited to see Justyna, who has a natural affinity for animals in general. She has a kind and caring heart and thinks of our animals as part of the family. Justyna as a person is also very responsible and respectful of others. I can't recommend her enough for this job!!”
