“Stephen was great! I felt safe right away letting him take my puppy for the first time. You can tell the people who can connect with pets and Stephen not only bonded with her quickly but seems very knowledgeable about pet care in general so was able to ask a few questions about Mara as well. So glad we found someone, I definitely recommend him to anyone in the area!”
“Keerie is a great dog walker for our Mabel. Mabel loves her weekly long walks and snuggles and I love Keerie’s responsiveness, timeliness and communication. Keerie is a true animal lover who I highly recommend.”
“Maria has been a huge help getting my husky mix exercised and helping with her separation anxiety. The communication and booking has been so easy and convenient. Thank you for loving on my dog!!”
About: I have had my Rottweiler (Chet) for 12 years and she is absolutely my favorite person. She is a part of my family and I tend to her the same way I do for my 4 year old son. She needs time to play, to exercise, to feel loved and appreciated. Making sure that her needs are being met is a top priority for me as I’m sure it is for you and your companion. I currently work at Farm Sanctuary where I also help care for farm animals. Animals are a passion of mine. I love taking Chet for walks and would love to be able to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is getting the attention and exercise that they need.
About: I love Gods creatures, great and small. I am a lover of unconditional 4 legged of love! I will treat your fur family as if they were my own- unconditionally and with care! I do work a part time job, but officially retired, I love to walk, I look forward to being motivated and sharing the joy of it! I have flexibility and mobility. I can also stay in your pets comfortable environment, to make sure they have comfort and care well with them. I would favor allowing your fur family to remain in their comfortable environment rather than stressing them in my home. I am available to come to serve you and them.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life growing up, I know how important they are to us and it can be very stressful to find the right, safe situation for them when we want to travel and live our lives. I am very used to caring for things compassionately as I have been a registered nurse for 6 years now. I currently am in EMT school two nights a week and transitioning from full time ICU bedside nursing to pediatric home care nursing part time while in school through the fall. I have an empty spare room for boarding, and wood floors that can handle any accidents that may arise without worry, I can also very easily keep my own cat separate from those who do not wish to socialize.
About: I have been around animals for 43 years. I have volunteered at an animal shelter. I have had my own personal zoo at my house 😊 I am currently working part time so I have lots of time to entertain and cuddle your pets 😊. For the most part I am always available. I have owned my home for 20+ years. I have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room for playing and lots of zoomies.
About: With 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I have developed a strong understanding of their unique needs, personalities, and health requirements. I have successfully managed feeding schedules, grooming routines, and administered medications when necessary. My experience also includes providing companionship and stimulating playtime to ensure both physical and mental well-being. I am skilled in recognizing signs of illness or discomfort, and I am quick to respond to any medical or emergency situations. Growing up with multiple dogs, cats and horses, I understand the importance of creating a safe and comfortable environment. In my family, pets ARE family and at holiday gatherings pets frequently outnumber people! Whether it’s walking or cuddling, I am committed to making your pet feel as loved as all of ours! I am working as a nursing assistant whenever I pick up. I have plenty of time take care of animals, either to babysit them or just a visit. I live on an acre lot on a quiet, dead end street. Woods in the back and trails behind that to walk on for miles. I have a friendly 12 year old dog who loves to keep company to other pups.
“Nathan did a great job with my new rescue dog who was scared and timid of a stranger in the home. He was patient and able to win him over to make a new friend. Will definitely use Nathan in the future.”
About: I’ve always lived with cats and dogs and have always had a special place in my heart for all animals. I graduated in veterinary assistance in 2019 and work at an animal hospital! I currently work almost 10 hour days so if your pup is not OK being alone that long I might not be a good fit for them! I would love to pet sit on the side as well as take any pet for walks! I see your pet as family and will treat them as so, making sure they don’t go hungry, cold or lonely! I have volunteered at my local shelter walking and helping with dogs and cats as well. I can even simply check in on any reptiles and smaller furry friends like hamsters and bunnies as well! I have experience with fur babies who have anxiety, cancer, joint problems, seizures and much more, with that being said I am experienced in having to give medications and pay extra close attention! Please don’t hesitate to contact me! I would love to meet your fur baby!!! ❤️
About: I have fostered puppies for 2 years and I still love and miss them to this day. I would love to spend time to get to know your puppo and give them the best time whilst we are spending time together. Currently don't work so im free most times and days. So if I'm available I should be able to take care of your wonderful/beautiful puppers. I can't currently take in dogs where I stay, but if you have a yard we can play there, or go on short/long walks based on how your dog feels/tempature.
About: Hi! my name is Chloe, I’m a paralegal and I love animals. I have a lot of experience with being a caregiver for pets. My uncle previously was a breeder and he would have my sister and I take care of the puppies during his work days. I also have experience with caring for others pets and have completed many services through Wag. Now that summer is approaching, i am ready to fill my evenings and weekends with animals. I will have more availablity as the summer goes on. Depending on any service, I usually read the owners notes to care for the pet during the time asked to do so. I’ve previously used Wag and when I complete the services I communicate a lot with the pet parents throughout the time letting them know what I’ve done, etc.
About: Growing up I was always rescuing animals in need. Or just helping with the animals I already had. I’m obsessed with all furry friends. I’m very flexible, whether your animal has energy for days or more of a couch potato I can handle it all ! My schedule is decently flexible as I work nights so i’m usually always available during the day whether you need a quick pop in or a long walk to tire your pup out and get some energy expelled. I can’t care for your animal in my home but i’d be more than happy to stay in yours so your animal feels safe and comfortable in their environment.

Maria F.
“Maria - I have had my dogs stay at her home several Times . She recently came to My home for 10 days while I was away on work . Sent pics every day of them enjoying the air conditioning during the heat wave , and several of them at the towpath near my home . My main concern is always reliability in dog sitting . She was perfect . Showed up at my home twice a day, on schedule / my older dog is on meds for Cushing - she took them to the park 5 times ( early morning - cooler ) beyond that they love her , Dogs are the best judge of character .”

Kaine S.
“Kaine has been watching my dog, Sabrina, on a regular basis for ~4 years now. First, it was primarily as needed when I would be out of town on business trips or vacations. I have left Sabrina in Kaine's care for up to 3 weeks at a time. I can always count on Kaine to provide excellent care for Sabrina-- evident in how much she has bonded with him over the years. When Sabrina was diagnosed with heartworm, she was not able to go to her regular daycare for 6 months. Kaine graciously agreed to watch her during the day during that time period when I had to be physically in the office 3 days a week. It is both his level of experience caring for my dog (and formally fostering many others through a local dog shelter) as well as his genuine love for dogs that really makes him a great caregiver. On another note, he is great with communication and working out logistics for pick-up and drop-off, etc. I couldn't recommend him enough!”
Chloe A.
“Chloe is amazing at caring for herself and her pets, and is so gentle with other's pets. She is a pet lover through and through and spoils every pet she comes across with as much as she can. When she first met my cat, I warned her he didn't like strangers and would probably run away as soon as he sniffed her. Instead, he warmed right up to her. Chloe is also great at managing stressful situations and has been there for me countless times. She makes sure she has everything figured out and a solution for any situation that can go awry. She is a problem-solver, fierce, and full of love. I believe that she's great for taking care of your pets 100%!!”

If you live in the firestone park community and need a dog walker to take your 4 legged friend for a goof walk, she is your girl. She took our 5 month old puppy on a walk at the same time every day! She also takes pictures of the walk and posts them on the time card. Definitely recommend.
