About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life—I’ve cared for all kinds of pets and love every tail wag and sloppy kiss. I’ve walked and watched dogs for friends for years, and now I’m here to give your pup the same love, attention, and fun. Rain or shine, cold or hot—I’m always ready with a leash, treats, and a smile. You can count on me to show up on time, stay prepared, and make your dog’s day I’m currently a student enrolled in an online master’s program, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available to work mornings through evenings, Monday through Friday and Sundays. Saturdays tend to be a bit busier for me, but with advance notice, I’m happy to accommodate requests on that day as well. Your dog’s safety is my top priority on every walk. I always use secure leashes and harnesses,(please let me know if you do not have one in advance, I can provide it), stay alert to our surroundings, and avoid unsafe or overly crowded areas. I never walk dogs off-leash and always follow any instructions you provide. You can trust that your pup will be safe, loved, and well-cared for every step of the way.
About: I treat every dog as if they were my own—with patience, affection, and plenty of playtime! My experience with both young pups and older dogs means I know how to adapt to their unique personalities and physical needs. Whether your pet needs gentle care, lots of activity, or just some calm companionship, I’ve got it covered. I’m punctual, responsive, and committed to making sure your dog feels safe and loved while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule, so I'm usually home on Mondays and Fridays, giving me flexibility to care for pets during those days. I’m also free all day Saturday and available Sunday mornings before 12pm. I live in a clean, pet-friendly house with plenty of space for dogs to relax and play. I have a three-year-old Bichon Frise who is super friendly and loves having a companion around—he’s gentle, playful, and gets along well with other dogs. Cleanliness and safety are top priorities in my home. I vacuum every day, mop twice a week, and wipe down counters and chairs weekly to maintain a fresh and hygienic environment.
“Ari is AMAZING! Ari comes 3 days a week to walk Ella (my dog) mid morning. Upon meeting Ella he was so curious about her personality and needs, showing that he really cares for her! Ari always comes on time to walk Ella and leaves her with fresh water, and treats. He even tucks her into her blanket to make her feel comforted when he leaves since she has separation anxiety. Ari has gone above and beyond for Ella and I multiple times, he even helped me when I locked myself out of my apartment since he holds a spare key! Ari is very communicative and always updates me with photos of Ella when they are together. Ari is the BEST!”
“Shang is super responsive, friendly, responsible, and reliable. I needed a walker last minute when my regular ones weren’t available and he really helped me out!! Will definitely use him again!”
“John is the Best! He loves animals and is a really nice person. I trust him with my best companion and buddy Franklin and house sitting for me for a quick stay at my Son's house. He is reliable, great at communicating and letting you know what's up and sends pictures of what he does with your dog on walks and makes you feel relaxed that your pooch is in good hands. I want to re book John, he is really worth it!”
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.

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.

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.
“My dog loved Judy. She took the full time with her and she was very easy to communicate with. We were hesitant to give a stranger a key but met Judy and we were reassured that she would be respectful of our space. Our dog looked forward to hearing her come in and was sad to return home.”
“Jamie is a pleasure to work with. Both of our work schedules change week to week and we are working well together to accommodate my pup. She is organized, communicative and a natural around dogs. My pup took a liking to her immediately, as did I.”
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: As an Iowa Farm girl, I grew up as an animal lover surrounded by dogs. 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!

“Andrew is great! He really cares about each dog like if they were his own. Always very responsive and willing to help. Thanks Andrew!”
Juliet P.
“Juliet has been an absolute blessing for both me and my 11-year-old black lab mix, Patrick. From the very first time they met, it was clear that there was something special between them—Patrick lights up the moment he sees her, tail wagging wildly as he runs to greet her with the biggest, happiest hello. It brings me such peace knowing he’s in the care of someone he adores and who genuinely adores him right back. Juliet is not only incredibly caring and attentive, but her love for animals shines through in everything she does. She treats Patrick like her own, and that means the world to me. She consistently keeps me updated with messages and photos when she's looking after him, which I deeply appreciate. Working with Juliet has always been an absolute pleasure—she’s reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely one of the kindest people I’ve met. I can't recommend her enough to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry family member.”

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.”
Sarah K.
“Sarah has frequently cared for my dog, Lucky, while I traveled. He is always excited to see her. He knows that she will take him on several walks a day and that she likes to snuggle. Sarah is reliable, knowledgeable and caring. I highly recommend her.”
