About: I have had a life full of experience with dogs of all ages and types. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I’m happy to accommodate special requests, whether it’s giving medication, reinforcing training, or with extra love. My experience with customer service has made me reliable, communicative, and attentive to both your pets and you. Your fur babies will be in good hands with me :) I am a college student with lots of free time throughout the weekdays with spaced out classes and empty afternoons, my weekdays and weekends are both very flexible. I understand that each pet is unique and deserves personalized care. I can adapt to your pet’s routine and preferences. Upon request I can give regular updates, including photos, to keep you connected in your pet’s activities. Your pet’s well-being and your peace of mind are my top priorities!
“Olivia is fantastic. She delivers exactly what you ask. Our girls love her. They get so excited when she comes in the door. When it’s raining she finds creative ways to exercise them and burn off the energy. She quickly learned our training keys and works hard to keep them consistent. We love having her take care of our fur babies!”
“Ya a was so great! She gave regular updates and sent pictures when walking my dog Stella. She event went above and played with her. I felt like my dog was so well taken care of while I was away. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have always felt passionate about caring for pets. I have trained all of my dogs since the time they were puppies until they crossed the rainbow road. I enjoy animals more than most people! I currently have 3 dogs that I walk, bathe, feed, cuddle, and clean up after and I wouldn't have it any other way. It would be an honor to help do these responsibilities for your animals! I am currently in PA school and graduating at the end of July. My class schedule is rather light currently so I have more availability! I am off on Fridays and have half days most other days of the week. I am very flexible and will communicate well with any changes in my schedule. I have 2 German Shepherds and a Golden Retriever who are the lights of my life, Marlin, Maddox, and Kali. I tuck all of my dogs into bed every night. They are fed once in the morning and once in the evening. Weather depending, we go for long walks around the block and we love to play ball! We occasionally go on runs as well. I personally bathe all of my dogs and understand the importance of pet hygiene. I would love to be able to help your pups get active and have fun!
About: I have had dogs my whole life. My first dog on my own as an adult is currently a senior. He is a very sweet and gentle dog who loves to play with new friends. I have about 10 years of experience, dog sitting friends and family members' dogs. I am comfortable working with food aggressive dogs, highly anxious dogs, and everyone in between. I am experience with administering medications, working with puppies and supporting senior dogs. I have a great track record with leash training, potty training and winning over anxious dogs. I use positive reinforcement (single ingredient dried pumpkin treats) to keep your pups attention and gain their trust. I am happy to do a meet and greet beforehand in order to gain your trust too :) I look forward to working with you! I currently work part-time, Monday, Wednesday, Friday 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. I am available for walks after 2:00 p.m. on those days and all day Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am available Monday through Friday for pet sitting, but will be out of the house for the hours of 8-1 MWF. My partner works from home, so if your dog need 24/7 care we can arrange that. As I mentioned in my bio, my main training mechanism is positive reinforcement. I do not believe in punishing dogs. In my experience it does not work and does not feel good! That being said, I am happy to work with you and come up with a plan together.
“My pups, Rex and Bex, have been walking with David every week for a year. On the days that they know he’s coming, they can’t contain their excitement and sit at the window waiting for him! He is a reliable and caring dog walker for my energetic labs.”
“Joe is the best dog walker I’ve hired. He’s incredible with my reactive rescue dog, he’s reliable, punctual and trustworthy - and a genuinely nice guy! I highly recommend him and I’m grateful I found him.”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals — starting with playful puppies and large-breed dogs. As a lifelong pet owner myself, I understand the deep bond between pets and their families. I've raised both big and small dogs and supported friends, neighbors, and clients by providing loving, reliable care for their animals when they couldn’t be there. I’m also comfortable and experienced around children and elderly individuals, which allows me to provide a calm, respectful, and compassionate presence in any home. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel at ease, knowing they're in capable and caring hands. I’m available to care for your pets during regular workday hours, with occasional evening and weekend availability as well. Whether you need a midday check-in, a weekday companion, or occasional support outside the 9–5, I’m here to help keep your pets happy and comfortable while you're away. I understand how important your pet’s safety is, especially when someone else is entering your home. That’s why I take extra care during every visit — making sure doors and gates are securely closed, checking surroundings before entering or exiting, and always keeping your pet's safety and comfort as my top priority. I know how stressful it can be to trust someone with your space and your pet, and I treat both with the respect, attention, and care they deserve.

“My dog is a little anxious with new people, but Erin has a very calm and steady demeanor that helped to put my dog as ease. Erin responds promptly and communicates proactively. Thanks, Erin!”
About: Hi. I'm Justin and thank you for checking out my profile. I grew up with a Sharpei, German Shepard and Chow Chow. In college I raised a Rottweiler/German Shepard Mix. On my own, I have been lucky to have a Sharpei (senior rescue) and Rottweiller (senior rescue). I am a dog person through and through. I treat each dog like they were my own and give them the best care possible while their owners are away. I think the most important things when it comes to dogs, whether it is a short walk or a weeks long boarding are (1) advocate for the dog, ensuring it feels safe and has a positive experience (2) understanding and respecting each dog's boundaries. I have raised multiple puppies and have worked with multiple dog trainers/behaviorists, so understand basics of training. I have rescued multiple senior dogs and have senior dog experience ranging from dispensing medicine to understanding that older dogs sometimes just need to take everything a little slower. I have also had challenging dogs- not properly socialized to dogs, leash pulling dogs to those with a bite history. Overall, I will do everything I can to ensure your dog feels safe and has enjoyable time. I recently left my career day job so that I can care of my aging mom. I facilitate her day-to-day taking her to/from senior programs. As such, I do have quite a bit of free time on my hands and aside from a few fixed days/times where I am not available, my schedule is fairly flexible and will try my best to accommodate. I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. If needed, I can meet ahead of time and we can discuss any specific needs your dog(s) may have. When walking your dog, I let the dog determine how long of a walk we go on to make sure I don’t tire them out too much or not exercise them enough. I also encourage dogs to sniff to their hearts' content.
“Jasmine is fantastic. She's kind and understanding and flexible. She works really well with the dogs, gives us a detailed report, is always on time and the route she walks provides them with good exercise. I love working with her and am so happy she's able to do two 1 hour reoccurring walks every week. I cannot recommend her enough.”
About: I've lived with dogs of different breeds and sizes my entire life. My favorite thing is to make them feel loved, which I execute by giving them the care they deserve. I am a college student trying to discover what my passion is. I love dogs and want to expose myself to this field of experience. As a dog lover, I understand an owner's concern for their dog's safety and happiness. My goal is to alleviate these concerns and to ensure their dog is well taken care of so they can take care of their obligation without stress over their pets.

Justin W.
“I highly recommend Justin for walks, dog sits, and anything else. Specifically, Justin's patience, care, intelligence, kindness and first-hand experience make him an ideal dog walker or sitter for your pups. Why I recommend him: - Justin adopted a very senior, very high-needs large breed foster dog from me a few years ago. Getting through the adoption process alone was intensive (I was very strict with this particular pup's prospective owners), but Justin has proven himself to be an above and beyond dog owner in the many years since his dog's adoption. -Justin took a 90-lb dog that required consistent, patient training to just coexist in a busy setting and has turned him into a dog that can not only be around guests in a home, but also coexists with cats (!!) and can settle and accompany his owner peacefully in a coffee shop or on daily errands. - Not only that, but Justin worked steadily to intentionally improve his dog's body handling and socialize him to make vet visits or strangers touching this dog even easier. - This level of foresight (with a senior pup that will require additional medical care in the future) speaks to the type of care, kindness, and structure I want all dogs to receive from their sitters. Justin is also a ton of fun with dogs– he's made up games for his vision-impaired dog, taught him new tricks, and I'm pretty sure he's bought him every toy available just to see which specific goofy ball he likes best in the end. Totally recommend this guy for your dog's needs. Hire Justin!”
