“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!”
“My dog loves his walks with Julia!! He has been more calm and less destructive lately because she is burning him out enough. And she follows my specific rules with his walks and treats. She will be our dog walker for as long as she can❤️”
“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.”

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: 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’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!

Please don’t hesitate to contact me! I would love to meet your fur baby!!! ❤️
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.

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: I have been dog sitting for many years, over night, for weeks at a time, and walking periodically throughout the day! For my neighbors, best friends, And acquaintances. Big dogs, small dogs, medically needy dogs and puppies. I have experience with them all I am available throughout the day every day. I am an earlier riser around 7 am so that makes early morning breakfasts and walks perfect if they are used to an early schedule! I am also very flexible and willing to work with you on times you prefer! I have a long walking path I use, but of course will deliver the service where it is requested! I have a nice back patio and live in a very safe neighborhood though I would prefer to dog sit in an environment the pup is most comfortable in.

I’m very flexible, whether your animal has energy for days or more of a couch potato I can handle it all !

“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.”
donald w.
“So grateful to Donald who came in on short notice (3-4 hrs) & successfully handled a big dog who can be reactive on walks. He helped with “last out”, “first ou”t plus a mid-day walk.”
Hanna S.
“Batgirl loved her walks with Hanna!”
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!”

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 .”

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%!!”
Elizabeth R.
“Elizabeth has been responsible for taking care of my dog Penny. She always went above and beyond to ensure that my pet was happy and safe while in her care. She would take her on walks, feed, and play with her. Elizabeth was always sure to ask if I wanted any specific accommodations on that specific day for Penny, and was happy to implement them into my dogs time with her. Overall, I cannot recommend Elizabeth enough to care for your pets, she will always be my first choice for a pet caregiver”
