About: I've taken care of dogs since I helped my mom with her dog boarding business in 2020 and since then have taken care of a multitude of both young and old dogs. I will NOT take last minute requests without a meet & greet. I'm used to picking up after those without potty training or those with stomach issues and sympathizing over those sweet pups. I currently have a very flexible schedule over the summer and am available for dog sitting, pet care, and house sitting throughout the week and weekends. I strive to be as flexible, reliable, and accommodating as possible to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every animal in my care is always my top priority. I have experience interpreting canine body language and understanding breed-specific needs, including the specialized care required for brachycephalic breeds and barrel-chested breeds. I am attentive to each pet’s individual temperament, routines, and stress signals to help create a safe and positive environment. I am comfortable administering medications, handling accidents or cleanups, and adapting to the unique needs of each pet. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I have experience with other animals as well and am always willing to learn about the proper care and handling of different species. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving pet owners peace of mind that their animals are in safe and capable hands.

“Forest was super patient with our dog, Carmela, who tends to be nervous around new people. They were super communicative with me and made sure Carm had everything she needed. Thanks again!!”

“Katherine is a professional and diligent house/pet sitter. She is always very caring towards our 2 dogs. 10 out of 10 would totally use again, and very highly recommend her for pet care needs.”

“Brianne is the best! She was so patient with our reactive dog and knew just what to do to make him feel safe. He doesn't like to eat alone so she hung out with him while he finished his food. Above and beyond. 5+ stars!!!!”

“Tonya is wonderful! She's reliable, responsible and trustworthy. She has taken good care of our puppy and we will continue to use her as our dog walker. She's great.”

About: I’ve had both cats and dogs and have cared for them since I was 10. I love animals and miss being around them since mine are back at home while I’m at college. I am a college student, and have availability certain week days and or nights as well as the weekends in the afternoon and the evenings. Your pets will be supervised at all times during walks and safely taken care of with whatever needs they require. I will walk in safe communities as well.

“Had a great experience with Seth walking our dog for a few days in a row. Great communication, and our dog clearly loved him. Will definitely hire again when we need a good walker.”

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs my entire life whether they’re mine or friends. I have a 80lb doberman/pitt mix making me very comfortable with large dogs, and a 10lb tabby cat making me comfortable with your tiny friends too! I work part time, and on days I do work I have a 2 hour lunch break. This allows me to be available for your furry friends whenever you need! I have experience walking dogs who are not fully leash trained and those that are reactive. I know the area well and am confident I can keep your furry friends safe and entertained!

About: I’ve spent the last 9 years caring for a dog as family, and I bring that same kindness and responsibility to every dog I sit. I’m gentle, consistent, and mindful of routines—walks, meals, rest, and any special instructions. I’m comfortable with medications and special diets, and I’ll always send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. I work full-time remotely and genuinely enjoy being home, so I’m available throughout the day for check-ins, potty breaks, meals, and company. On sitting days, I won’t be away from home for more than about 2 hours at a time. I can follow your dog’s usual routine closely—walks, feeding times, play, and quiet rest—so they feel safe and settled. I live in a house in a quiet, safe neighborhood that’s great for walks and sniff breaks (no fenced yard). Safety is my priority: I use secure leashing, avoid crowded areas if needed, and always follow your instructions. If your dog needs crate time, can’t be on furniture, or has specific house rules, I will respect them exactly. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you feel comfortable.

About: Experienced pet caretaker of 20 years and animal lover! I will play, walk, feed, clean up after and love your pet like my very own. I am available for walks, playtime or any of your pets needs while you’re away. If a last minute visit is needed, I am here to step in. I will clean up after your pet if there are accidents or food spills. If necessary, I can crate your dog too. Let me know your needs & I’d be happy to help.

About: I have always loved dogs growing up and eventually got two dogs of my own as I got older! They are both Huskies: Venus, who is very sweet, gentle, and loves to talk, and Batman, who is full of energy and acts like a giant baby! Dogs have always been a passion of mine, and raising two large dogs has taught me how to handle the fun, excitement, and responsibility that come with caring for them. I love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for. I have two of my own dogs that I typically visit each week and spend time with walking grooming and playing with as I can’t spend much time since I’m now a student! I am very careful when caring for dogs. Since Huskies are known for being escape artists, I have learned the importance of always prioritizing safety. I will ensure your dog is kept safe and secure at all times. My own dogs can be nervous around unfamiliar dogs, so I also have experience managing interactions and maintaining a safe distance when needed. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and positive experience for every dog in my care.

“Morgan is a wonderful walker. My pup warmed up to her pretty quickly. He went from refusing to leave the door the first walk, to being excited to walk with her days after. I would easily recommend her.”

About: I work remotely, which means your pet gets nearly all-day attention, not just check-ins. I truly treat every animal in my care like my own—attentive, loving, and respectful of their unique needs. I’m comfortable with crate training, potty routines, and simple training for puppies. I’m also experienced with senior dogs who need medication, mobility support, or a slower pace. Because I work from home full-time, pet care is seamlessly built into my daily life. I take regular breaks for walks, playtime, meals, and attention. I’m able to quickly respond to anything your pet needs throughout the day or night. I’m not rushing in between jobs—they’re truly my priority. In my home, your dog will enjoy a calm, crate-free environment (unless requested by you) where they’re free to roam, relax, and be part of the family. They’ll have access to comfy resting spots, daily exercise, and enrichment, and companionship. I follow all care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding routines, meds, or preferred methods of releasing energy.

About: I’ve taken care of many pets in the past. I also have a long time favorite customer that i continually go back to for visits. I go to Nova Community College full time and work part time as an RBT (registered behavior technician) with autistic children. I own 3 dogs of my own at the current moment, so taking care of them is part of my daily routine. Anything I can do. I have a fenced in backyard at my home and i let my dogs walk freely. I’m open to any accommodations needed for dogs +cats.

“We had a fantastic first experience with Jessica. She was available last minute, which was a lifesaver! She quickly built a rapport with our dogs, and kept us updated with messages and pictures. Jessica was patient, friendly, and clearly loves animals. If we need a dog walker in the future, we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
