Alexa was super sweet with my dogs and responded in a very timely manner. She was available for a second walk when I reached out the same day & did a fantastic job overall. Highly recommend booking with her!

Eilleen was great with our cockapoo Wesley - he seemed very excited to see her for his check-ins! She was also super helpful and understanding when it came to scheduling around my new job, which we’ve really appreciated.

About: Hi! My name is Hannah, and I absolutely love animals of all kinds. I currently have 4 cats, 1 dog, and a horse, so caring for animals is a huge part of my everyday life! I have experience with pets of all personalities — from sassy calicos with lots of attitude to nervous, anxious furry friends who need extra patience and love. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves lots of playtime or prefers a calm and gentle approach, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I’m currently available for drop-in visits and dog walks, and I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! :) I work full time so I have the most flexibility on Friday-Monday. For weekdays I am available 6am-8am and 5pm-8pm. On Mondays and Fridays I am also available between 12-2. I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and horses every day. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs — whether they’re playful, shy, anxious, or full of attitude!

Amber has been great with weekly walks for our large but nervous dog. She has been patient and let him warm up at his own pace with lots of feedback as to how he’s doing from day to day. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs.

Melissa was great with my dog, Blaze! She not only provided Blaze with much needed exercise on her daily walks, but she almost always stuck around to give a little tender love and care to our pooch. She also brought in our mail, which was an unexpected perk. I highly recommend Melissa. She is a reliable and loving caretaker of dogs.

About: I have over 20 years of experience providing occasional care for both dogs and cats. During this time, I have handled a variety of breeds and personalities, ensuring pets receive reliable attention, feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m comfortable administering basic care routines and pride myself on being dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I currently work a split schedule job during the week so I am available for several hours during the daytime, plus evenings and weekends to care for you pets. I care for pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s routine closely, provide plenty of playtime and companionship, and keep a close eye on their health and happiness. I also keep the home secure and share updates so families have peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Growing up my family and I have adopted 3 dogs. I absolutely love working with dogs - big, small, old, hyper, I’m your gal! I have a couple years of experience working at a doggy day care as well as some dog bathing services. I’m a junior currently attending Ramapo College. I commute to class and am available for multiple days a week. I’m usually always available on the weekends! I have a fenced yard for my dog but she is not the friendliest. I tend to bring her to the dog park where she gets along with other dogs in a bigger/more open area.

About: I have had dogs my entire life growing up and taking care of them. I’ve done this professionally about 6 years on my own now since my kids are in college and out of the house. I have 3 of my own presently, one extremely large Alaskan Malamute and 2 Pomeranians. I treat them like my furry children. :) I will not board at my house but would love to walk your dogs and play with them until you come home. We love dogs so much in my family that my daughter has been watching dogs for 4 years on her own through a dog daycare and in her own as well. My son loves them as well. They will be treated well. Have a good day!

About: Hi! My name is Logan, and I’m a current college student at the University of New England with a strong background in studying animal behavior. I have several years of experience pet sitting, caring for my own pets — my dog Riley and cat Nadia — and working with local animal shelters. I love animals of all sizes and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. They’re family, and I take that responsibility seriously. You can count on me to provide loving, dependable care and to treat your pets with the same attention and compassion I give my own. I'm currently looking for a part-time job until Rover takes off, so as of now, pet care is my 100% focus. I spend every day caring for my cat Nadia and my family's dog Riley. I'm hoping that I will get to spend a good amount of my time also caring for other peoples pets :). When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while also following any feeding schedules, medication instructions, or special care requests closely. I always prioritize safety by keeping pets supervised, securing doors and gates, and maintaining a clean, calm environment. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I take the time to build trust and make them feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s an energetic dog who loves long walks or a shy cat who prefers quiet companionship, I adapt my care to meet each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being treated like family while they’re away.

Whether it’s playtime, a long walk, administering meds, or just keeping your pet company, I bring calm, reliable, loving energy to every visit.

Alexandra is incredibly kind and gentle. She was so patient with our Lani, who’s scared of just about everything, and really respected our request to keep greetings and goodbyes calm and low-key to help prevent separation anxiety. She takes her time, used the treats for getting boots on!) And gives Lani the full walk time without rushing. We feel very comfortable with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive walker.

About: I’ve always been around animals and genuinely love spending time with them. I’m responsible, patient, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I have experience with dogs of different ages and personalities, including puppies and older dogs who need a little extra care and attention. I know every pet is different, so I try to stick to their normal routine as much as possible to keep them comfortable and happy. Whether that’s walks, playtime, giving medication, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to help. I’ll also make sure to send updates and pictures so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. I am currently a student so my daily routine is very flexible. I am able to adjust my availability to your needs. Pet care has no problem fitting into my schedule. I have a fenced in yard along with two very friendly dogs of my own to keep yours company. I also have no problem crating your dog if that is what you prefer.
