“Michelle is fantastic. Before scheduling an appointment, she arranged a meet and greet to get to know Apollo. From the moment Apollo met Michelle, we knew he was in great hands. His first walk with her went smoothly, with regular updates and photos. Highly recommend.”

“Yingyan and her daughters were excellent dog walkers. They took Zander for long walks and tired him out and even played fetch with him. I would use again and highly recommend!”
About: My family has always had pets, and they just make life better! I've had several puppies, several bigger dogs (Staffy, Burmese Mountain dog), the whole spectrum. I've cared for a wide array of cats as well, of all ages and temperments. I don't currently have a fur baby as I have been travelling for work the last year, so I'm likely having withdraws. I can't wait to meet your furry family! My full-time job is hybrid and my days in office are flexible, so it's easy for me to block off an hour or two to be flexible with same-day requests. I have a lot of experience watching pets in a variety of environments; large properties, cozier spaces and overnight camping trips! I've been around a few escape artists as well, and know what to watch for and can predict most behaviors. You can trust me with your babies. ❤️
About: I have a love for pets of all kinds and have been taking care of dogs and cats of friends and family for five years now. I have experiences with pets of all ages and levels of care required. I have basic knowledge of animal behavior and am capable to understand your pets and make sure they remain happy and healthy while in my care. I’m able to pet sit during the day Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. I am available evenings in Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. I am also open to long stays if needed. I am very attentive to your pets needs and am willing and capable to make them as happy and comfortable as possible! Any specific requirements or needs you pet has I am willing to accommodate and work with.

“Katrina is wonderful w our dog!!”
About: I’ve walked many dogs of all sizes and shapes, and I’ve also done overnight dog sitting at my home, including hypoallergenic breeds. I treat every dog like my own, giving them personalized care, attention, and lots of love. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well exercised. Pet care works perfectly into my schedule. I am a freelance photographer and videographer so my schedule is pretty much free this summer since most of my work comes to me and I am free to choose. Whether your dog stays with me or I come to you, I keep their routine consistent and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. At my home, I offer a clean, calm environment with plenty of play, rest, and attention. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and follow all care instructions closely, providing updates so you always know your pet is in good hands.
“Nia is terrific. She is punctual, has initiation, communicative and most importantly , is a huge animal lover. NIa was very accommodating, flexible and helpful with all my last minute requests . She was able to manage my 100 pound plus puppy and provided her with a walk, affection, games and water on a hot day. My dog, Dolly, took to Nia right away and I felt very comfortable leaving. I will definitely use her again and am so happy to have connected with her.”
“John was great. He was timely and really good with our dog. He came for a meet and greet prior to the walks and that was a nice touch. We’d happily use him again.”
“Jeff was great. He was already familiar with husky behavior which made us feel very comfortable. He took our pups for some nice long run/walks too.”
“Eugene was so good with our puppy and made us feel comfortable. He is trustworthy and reliable. He followed all of our instructions and was punctual. Highly recommend and will definitely be reaching out to him again!”
“Accommodated last minute booking, prompt responses and Lily enjoyed her walk. Will definitely book again in the future.”
“We are so grateful for Judy, she takes amazing care of our dog Zoe! She is trustworthy, reliable, kind and attentive to Zoe. Thank you Judy for everything!”
About: I come from a dog-loving home, I know that dogs are like family members. I've parented several breeds including German Shepherds, a Collie, a Dachshund, and currently a Heeler. I'll treat your dog like my own. I'm available day and night to walk & play your four-legged friend(s) as I work a remote flexible job. Dogs are my hobby and passion and they bring me joy. I make sure trust is established and take every precaution to keep your pet safe in their environment as I know dogs are like family members.
About: I have experience working with multiple dogs of all sizes through family and friends, from small feisty Poodles, Corgi's, to large German Shepard breeds, I can handle all the usual needs you may need from keeping them busy and happy to the usual walks and strolls that every dog needs! For the current summer, I am usually avaiable for dog walking or drop in visits during the weekdays at 7AM to 3PM. I can hash out details if needed for certain days I may not be available. Stone floored backyard that my corgi loves to play fetch in, and indoor life is quiet but plenty of room for playtime, either with me or my cat.
About: I trained my dog when my family first got him. I'm very patient and loving and will give an unlimited amount of attention, when appropriate, to any dog I'm caring for! I'm currently in between graduating college and starting a full time job so I'm looking for work to fill the large amount of free time I have now! I am available every day at any time. I have a fenced yard. I will ask a lot of questions to the owner to get a better sense of how to keep their dog occupied and entertained, and what tricks I can reinforce!
About: I grew up with three dogs and always had a dog at home as I grew to be a young adult. I walked/pet sat neighbor's dogs and have done dog walking and sitting in high school, college, and recently in the past year or 2 since graduating. I work a full-time 9-5 hybrid job and work remotely Monday and Friday. I can pet sit after 6 pm Tues-Thurs and throughout the day Fri-Mon. I watch after and spend time with pets in my home, providing food and water as needed and timed potty breaks/walks every couple hours. I love spending time with dogs and give lots of hugs, pets, and compassionate care.
About: My experience ranges from casual to professional environments. I have dealt with all types of behaviors in an animal hospital setting as well as with family/neighbors pets. I have administered various forms of medicinal care and nothing is outside of my comfort zone. Im currently using Rover and other services to make ends meet so I dedicate most of my time to this. Between that and owning my own cat, dog and guinea pigs my work and leisure time is spent doing pet care. I just cant get enough! My home is extremely comfy for any furry companions. No rules with furniture or boundaries with indoor fences so they are as comfortable as they can be.

My dad was a police officer that would adopt homeless dogs This instilled a great love and respect for animals and their well-being. I showed in 4-H and FFA and was raised on 10 acres with horses, dogs, and cats. I recently moved to NYC to pursue my opera career! I love the city lights but I do miss animals!

Markie C.
“Markie has taken care of my dogs many times and I have always been pleased! She showers them with love, takes them on long walks and treats them as if they were her own. On one occasion, one of my dogs needed medical attention. She called me, quickly got them to the vet and took excellent care of her until I was able to return home. My dogs and I can't recommend "Aunt" Markie highly enough, she's awesome!”

“Phil is one of the kindest people I know. He loves dogs of all sizes. He’ll treat any dog like his own. My dog basically likes him more than me. He’s basically a teddy bear.”
Gary W.
“I've known Gary for years, and I can confidently say he’s one of the most caring and responsible people I know, especially when it comes to animals. His cat, Rocky, is a perfect example. Gary is incredibly attentive and aware of every little detail that keeps Rocky safe, whether it's avoiding certain fruits or being cautious about household plants. He’s extremely patient and truly understands what it means to care for a pet. He also takes care of his dog, Marley, and is her primary walker. He’s sent me photos of her that have made me laugh out loud in the middle of my workday, which makes me smirk just thinking about it. Any pet would be lucky to have him around. Seriously!”
Rebecca L.
“I couldn't think of a better person to be a pet caregiver. Rebecca is patient, competent, and active - everything a dog needs! As a pet caregiver, it is important to love animals but also to keep them engaged and trained as well. Rebecca has somehow struck this perfect balance between discipline and fun that every pet responds well to. With her upbeat attitude, love for animals, and enthusiasm for a job done right, I wouldn't want anyone else to walk my fur baby.”
Olivia G.
“Olivia is my go to for dog-sitting whenever I am traveling for work. I have had no problems with her watching my little chihuahua. She may even pamper her more than I do-if I let her Pepper would probably come back with a fresh pedi every time. Olivia always has great availability even though I know she watches plenty of other dogs throughout the week.”
