About: 🐶 Trained a wild puppy into a great walking buddy 🦮 Cared for my 16-year-old yellow lab like royalty 🌳 Calm when things get chaotic (think squirrels, rain, or stubborn pauses) 💬 Reliable, patient, and good at reading every dog’s mood I’m currently wide open for walks — mornings, afternoons, or evenings. Whether your dog needs a quick midday break or a consistent daily schedule, I can make it work. I treat every dog like my own — and mine’s a very spoiled 6-year-old black lab who goes to the park or dog park every single day. Whether your dog is energetic or easygoing, I match their pace. I’m big on consistency, fresh air, and making sure every walk or visit feels like the best part of their day. When caring for pets in your home, I keep things calm, clean, and familiar — same feeding routines, same walk routes, same couch spot if that’s their favorite. My goal is to have your dog relaxed and happy, and you completely at ease while you’re away.

“Sarah did such an amazing job! I have two dogs with very different personalities and she handled them both great! She also took them on a long walk they were still sleepy by the time we got home. Thanks again!”

“Thank you so much for taking lucky on a walk!!! He looks like he had so much fun with you, and I really appreciate how you went above and beyond to refill his water, clean his paws, and help get him back in his cone post-surgery. We can’t wait til next time :)”

About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs and cats from pugs, to raising my 4 year old English cream golden retriever from 2 months to now, to a Bernese mountain dog! Friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets when I am away and I’m all for it! Let me know how I can best serve you and your furry family members! I’m currently attending Yale’s PA program. Most days vary depending on the schedule but I am available for potty breaks. During the evening I will be home and available. Weekends I love to spend outside and would be more than happy to take your pet along! Message me with questions! I have quite a bit of skill with a range of dogs and have learned quite a bit with my golden from puppy age to now (who is rambunctious as you can imagine!) I care for other peoples pets as I would my own.

“I was new to the area and needed a dog walker within a few days notice. And somehow got lucky enough to stumble upon Mary Rose’s profile. She’s incredibly sweet and responsive, and truly loves animals. Whether it be just a walk in the neighborhood or staying overnight, I truly have zero worries about leaving my dog and two cats. You can tell she loves what she does. Although she’d say she was the lucky one, pretty sure I win! :)”

“Azeen looked after our yellow lab while we were on vacation. She was terrific. She walked him twice a day, took him swimming, dried him off, and looked after his needs. She even helped with our pool, and turned on our AC on the final day. I highly recommend her, and would not hesitate to use her again. She's also very friendly”

Kevin T.

“Paul was just perfect for my needs. He walked my two Welsh Corgi's while I was away. He was always prompt, courteous and considerate. My pups grew to like him a lot, and the walking became and happy for them. My husband, who remained at home during this trip, was very pleased. Thank you Paul!”

About: I absolutely love taking care of animals! I have owned dogs, cats, rabbits, and hamsters. I enjoy an active lifestyle and am able to meet the exercise needs of any pet. Depending on your dog and their abilities, I can provide tons of outdoor time. I usually do around 45 minutes to 1 hour long walk in the morning, with another long walk or fun outdoor activity in the afternoon (swimming, hiking, fetch in the park, etc). I live in a single-family home with my sister Alexis. I work full-time, but have a hybrid work schedule and have many days/mornings/afternoons where I am able to work from home. I can accommodate different schedules and times for drop-offs and pick-ups with enough notice. My sister works full-time from 7am-3:30pm, so your pup won't spend too much time alone. I do not work on the weekends and therefore am free to take your pup to different spots to play! I have a small yard that is partially fenced, but am also able to take your dog on long walks in the neighborhood. Let me know if your dog can go off-leash, or if they should remain leashed or in fenced-in areas. I do have a long line (30ft) that can be used with your dog so they can explore and run while still being leashed.

“Julia was great walking and checking in on our dog Franklin. She was very thorough, prompt with responses, and sent a lot of updates with pictures. We’ll definitely use Julia again in the future.”
