“First time having someone walk our dog and Sandy was patient, professional and friendly with our skittish rescue. She knew just what to do so our pooch would calm down and trust her.”

About: I’m a retired professional with a calm, patient nature and a genuine love for animals. My sister has two dogs, one of whom is a super senior with special needs, so I’m very comfortable providing extra attention, patience, and thoughtful care. With a flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to one-on-one care, I enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for dogs and cats. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, medication routines, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own—offering reliable care and true peace of mind to pet parents. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a retired professional, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around a pet’s needs rather than the other way around. I’m home for most of the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, medication schedules, and quiet companionship. I enjoy building consistent routines that help pets feel secure and comfortable, and I’m able to give them my full attention without feeling rushed. This flexibility also allows me to adapt easily to senior pets or those with special needs who may require extra time, patience, or monitoring. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs—whether in my home or in a client’s home. I follow all feeding schedules carefully, provide fresh water, regular walks or playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m especially attentive to senior and special-needs pets, including administering medications as directed and keeping a calm, consistent environment. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and space, making sure pets feel secure and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I also keep pet parents updated with check-ins and notes so they can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

“Ericka has been amazing with our dog Lila! She jumped in last minute to help out when our other walker was away and has been so warm and great to Lila. Thank you Ericka! You’re the best!”

“Jen was an excellent find on Rover for me. She was friendly, easy to work with and she cared for my pup very well for his short visit with her. Jen has a beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood and I was very comfortable that he was in a good care. And I got a picture which was a nice surprise! Thank you again Jen!”


About: I've taken care and been around dogs ever since I can remember, and it has been a huge part of my life! I feed, bathe, walk, and cared for my chocolate lab, Mocha, and she has taught me so much about what it means to care for loving and fun animals like herself! It has allowed me to take care of dogs around my neighborhood, doing things like drop in visits or walks while people have been on vacation! I cannot get enough of them, and I hope to make an impact on your loving animals like mine have impacted me! I am going to be home from college all summer, and am looking to do something along with my other part time jobs! I have very flexible availability, as both of my jobs require me to be there at later hours, and are very on and off, so I am free and willing to work with you on time! At your home or around your neighborhood, I am willing to work with you and what is there to offer in terms of walking area and/or yard space, and if needed, I have a very safe and pet-friendly neighborhood with miles of walking ground for your furry friends!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old and I love taking them for walks and playing with them I will walk them when ever I get a chance. I work part time so I have plenty of time to come over and help take care for your animals when ever you need help. I have a fenced heard I will make sure they are safe and played with and watched no matter what when they are in the back .
About: We’ve been loving dog parents for over 25 years, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of our lives. After losing our beloved boy earlier this year, we’ve found ourselves missing the daily joy, snuggles, and companionship that come with having a pet. We’d love to share that love with your furry family member—giving them all the attention, affection, and care they deserve. Think of us as your pet’s extra set of grandparents: all the love, cuddles, and spoiling, with a calm, caring presence you can trust. I’m currently working but am winding down a 30+ year career as an educator. I’m available weekends and over the summer right now. My husband is semi-retired and is available Tuesdays and Thursdays all day. One or both of us are also available after 3 pm Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. We have a fenced yard and sadly no pets for your baby to play with. We have no children in the house either so your dog will be the only guest and will receive our undivided attention. We will only sit for 1 family at a time to ensure you the highest quality care.

About: I am a 28 year old animal lover! I spoil every dog I encounter and believe dogs are better than some people. I treat all animals with love and respect, just as I treat my three current dogs. I have over 6 years of experience of working with animals, mostly in an animal shelter and grooming spa setting. As of now, I am available 6 days a week until about 12:30pm to walk your pups and/or stop by your home to make sure they are good for when you get home! I would be happy to help your day a little less stressful knowing your pup(s) are in good hands! I love all types of dogs big and small and would love to care for your pets.
About: I worked at North Shore Animal League. I love cats and dogs and own 2 cats of my own, they are very sweet. Message me for any questions you may have about my availability, experience or pets and I would love to answer! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible for walks or boarding. I also have separate rooms that I can keep my cats in if your animal prefers to be the only pet. I have plenty of beds/toys for animals. I can bring your dog to for some play time ant a dog park or just for a nice walk. I live in a pet friendly apartment that is nice and quiet. I have leashes and treats as well and have no problem with your dog or cat going on my bed/couch
About: I’d rather spend time with dogs rather than humans. Every animal is special and deserves to be treated as such. Even my husband knows my dog comes first! I am very familiar with dogs. If I wasn’t a teacher, I would work with animals. I am available to help you. I love animals and would do anything for them. I’m that person who pulls over to return stray/ lost dogs. I am excited to walk your dog! I can provide any services. I have administered medicine, I am able to drive safely with an animal in the car, and I take their well-being my top priority.
About: I've always had a dog throughout my life. My family is full of dog lovers! A dog is what makes a home feel like a home 🐾 I am a stay at home mom which means I am home majority (if not all) of the day. I have the availability, time and heart to fit your dog right into my day. I have a fully fenced in yard to run and play. I have kids who adore dogs, who listen and are respectful of their space. Our home is fun and relaxing- plenty of time for both. Our door is always open.
About: Animals have always been part of my life, from dogs and cats to fish and small rodents. I began pet sitting at 14 and have built years of experience providing reliable, attentive care for pets of all kinds. I recently graduated college and my schedule is super flexible so I have a lot of time to myself and I hope to spend some of that time helping people care for their pets ! I take care of pets in clients' homes by following their usual routines for feeding, walks, and playtime. I keep their environment safe and provide toys to keep them entertained. I also keep the space clean and share updates with the client about their pet's behavior. My main goal is to make sure their pets feel happy and comfortable while they're away.
About: I’ve had and taken care of cats and dogs of all sizes. I love all animals and take pride and joy in helping care for people’s pets I am currently a stay at home mom to a two year old boy and i have open availability most days of the week including weekends. I am very responsible and will be sure to close any gates and keep the dogs on leash I am able to administer medication if needed.
“Shelby is the absolute best. I’ve been working with her for a year and she is always caring, thoughtful, and sweet with my dogs! She even brought them a Christmas gift. I would recommend to anyone!!!”

About: I've had the pleasure of caring for dogs since I was 13. I've had my own dogs, as well as caring for and watching many friends' and neighbors' dogs overnight. I simply adore dogs and I believe they can sense it. I'm very patient, calm, & will treat your dog with the upmost of care. I'm dedicated to dog sitting and walking! My schedule is flexible and I'm available 5 days (Sunday through Thursday in the day), and overnights Sunday through Thursday as well. I'm comfortable staying over a client's house. I'm respectful of property and very clean. I will become fast friends with your fur baby and play with them for hours.

There are no words! A complete and total angel sent from heaven. I was caught where I had to be at a family event and my dog was in need of extra TLC. I couldn’t have received any better care for my little one! Everything was handled PERFECTLY and with such love, care and dedication. Answered every question instantly and did EVERYTHING possible to comfort both of us. Above and beyond and exactly what every animal should have when their parents need some help.
I have had Maria and her mom walk my baby 3 times now and i LOVE THEM! they are so kind and considerate to what i wanted for the walks and they were so accommodating with their schedules. If Maria couldn't make it, then her mom Edith would walk my dog, so it’s really a 2 in one!! Cant say enough kind words to how happy i am with the service. My go to ladies for sure!!
