About: I grew up with many pets--birds, bunnies, cats--and absolutely love animals. I walked my neighbor's dogs for extra cash beginning in middle school (~age 10) and offered drop-ins for neighborhood senior cats. I have experience with animals with special needs and I am comfortable administering oral medication etc. as needed. While first and foremost I am a cat person, I love all animals! I attend class part time and have free time throughout the week to care for your animals. I am a part-time student with much free time throughout the week--including nights and weekends--to care for your pets. Caring for your pet is my priority! My flexible schedule allows me be there for your mid-day visits and evening walks if needed. I will follow your instructions, including any feeding or medication schedules. Your pet's safety and health is my priority. I want to ensure they are safe and comfortable, and get time for play, too.
About: Big fan of loose leash walking! My own Malinois and hound have some of the best leash manners around, and I bring that same calm, structured approach to every walk. Whether your dog needs to burn off energy, reinforce leash training, or just enjoy a peaceful outing, I’ve got them covered. I believe walks should be more than just potty breaks. I focus on building trust, encouraging focus, and helping dogs stay mentally and physically balanced. I’m especially comfortable with high-energy breeds, strong pullers, and dogs who benefit from structure and consistency. I personally train with prong collars and slip leads on my own dogs and understand how to use them safely and effectively. I won’t introduce any tools to your dog without your permission - but if your pup is a puller, I’m happy to discuss options that support a calm mindset and better leash manners for a more fulfilling walk. Check out @houndandhustle_ on IG to see some of the dogs I walk (and maybe spot your pup on there too!) Weekdays around early afternoon or after 5pm works best. Feel free to reach out to confirm the schedule. Your pup will definitely have a great time with me. I will make sure the door is locked and your pup is all settled in when we come back from the walk. Feel free to let me know if there is anything specifics.

About: Hi ! My name is Linda ! https://www.rover.com/sit/lindar80608 Link 20$ off for a new customer ♥️ My passion for pet care started over 10 years ago when I got my first dog. I loved her deeply and took care of her every day—walking her three times a day, playing, training, and making sure she was happy and healthy. Later, my family welcomed a second, smaller dog. Caring for him was easier because of her size, but he was just as lovable. Over the years, I’ve had experience as a dog sitter and dog walker for dogs of all sizes and personalities—small and big, calm and energetic. My friends and clients have always told me that I have a special connection with animals, and their pets love me. I’ve also cared for cats, making sure they were well-fed and comfortable while their owners were away. I’m a very responsible and attentive person, with extensive experience in pet care. This is not just a business for me—I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I believe in providing personalized attention, so I don’t take care of too many dogs at the same time. Your dog will receive plenty of love, care, and one-on-one time with me. Right now, I have an extremely friendly dog named Rodger. You can see him in my photos—he’s five years old, neutered, and very sweet. I take care of him every day and would love to provide the same care and attention to your pet! While your pet is with me, you will always stay updated! I will regularly send you photos and videos, so you can see how your furry friend is doing and feel at ease knowing they are happy and well cared for. I’m at home everyday so I have a lot of free time for this work. It can be different time , I think we have a deal. I live in apartment because of it I can get only one big or two small dogs. it is necessary for my clients to be calm for their pet. We will be happy to play , feed and walk with your pets if you choose us.
“Christine was great! Outlet pup was happy and taken care of. Christine was responsive to questions and let us know how our pup was doing.”
“I was going out of town and my house sitting situation was a little complicated. Thankfully, Radhika was able to come through for my three dogs. During our intro meeting, things were hectic for me and she was quick to realize my youngest dog is reactive to other dogs without my telling her (entirely my brain fart). For the walks that I was out of town for, my nanny made sure to tell me that Radhika did a great job. I am happy to recommend her, and will use her again if she is available.”

3. Elise J.
“Elise is truly exceptional. She took incredible care of my cat, who can be a bit shy and particular—but under Elise’s care, she was calm, happy, and even purring after her grooming session. I could immediately tell how comfortable and safe my cat felt with her. Elise has a gentle, loving presence and an obvious passion for animals. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine warmth made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. My cat has never looked better, and I’ve never felt more confident leaving her with someone. I wholeheartedly recommend Elise to anyone looking for a compassionate and responsible pet caregiver.”
