“Jason has been a great walker for Tib! He’s reliable and always sends a picture and the path of the walk. He communicates when there’s rain and is flexible with scheduling. He’s been great!”

Sarah T.

“We feel blessed to have Clarissa walking and caring for our prized princess 😊 I was shocked when Maggie almost immediately took to her, but after the meet/greet and now first walk I know why! 👍🏻 Dogs just know first. First Class 😊”

“Patrick did an awesome job with our pups, Isabella and Chance, today on their walk! They loved him so much they didn't want him to leave. Will definitely be booking again after the holidays. Thank you Patrick!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. From playful puppies to senior pets needing a little extra patience and attention, I’ve cared for them all—and I truly treat every animal like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a fun, energizing walk or a calm, reassuring visit, I adjust my care to fit your pet’s unique personality and needs. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. During visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, medication (if needed), and lots of affection and attention. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. I’d be honored to care for your pet as if they were my own! I'm currently working part-time on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I can usually pet walk/drop in or pet sit on the other days. I prefer to care for pets in their own environment because that's where they feel most comfortable. The safety of your pet is the most important thing to me.

“Melissa is absolutely wonderful! She was amazing with Levi, and you can tell right away how much he loves her. She’s incredibly kind, responsive, and made me feel totally at ease from the start. I highly recommend her for any of your furry loved ones’ needs!”

“Carly was always on time and my dogs loved to walk with her. She provided consistent and helpful updates after the walk and was always easy to communicate with about schedule changes or general questions.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. My personal pet journey started with hamsters and the kittens in my grandmother’s horse barn. As I grew older, my experiences grew to exotics such as ferrets and birds. Then in my young adulthood I became a receptionist for an animal hospital and an animal E.R. There I became a vet tech as well. I later became a tech for large animals. I also volunteered for a private zoo handling the large reptiles, lions and tigers, and the petting zoo. Oh my! After 15 years I could no longer work regular jobs. I became disabled due to the migraines I get. Along the way, I had my own reptile rescue, took care of diabetic cats and people, and rescued different dogs, cats, reptiles, rats, and birds that needed loved. Currently, I don’t have any dogs of my own. I lost her in August 2025. I do however live with my mom who has 2 small dogs in which I take care of every day. I have to feed them their raw diet twice daily. One of them is diabetic and requires insulin at feeding times which is on a regular schedule. The pets I do have at the moment include a sassy cat, a grumpy bearded dragon, my son’s hamster and rabbit, and a fish. Our Sun Conure passed away a couple of years ago. She was 27 years old. And when I say my son’s, I pretty much take care of them considering he’s 7. I’m willing to help with other animals as well as dogs and cats since I have experience with pretty much all animals. I’m usually a stay at home mom so my hours are flexible. I’m mostly free from 8:30a.m. Until about 3p.m. Monday through Thursday. Friday I’m available only until 1:30p.m. Saturdays and Sundays could be possible depending on my mom’s schedule. I’m a single mom and she’s my only babysitter. If you don’t mind him tagging along - if your pets are kid friendly - then I’m absolutely available. He is very good with animals. But, I would prefer to be able to focus solely on your fur baby. I also currently work with Snipes Farm going to schools and teaching farm to table cooking. I also am part of taking care of their chickens, ducks, goats, and rabbits. I usually work with them 1 day a week or so. I know my schedule ahead of time so I can work around it accordingly. I make sure all doors are locked and clean up after your pet. I wash their dishes after feeding. I make sure they are happy and safe according to your guidelines. I treat them as if they were my own. I send pics usually to let you know how they’re doing. As far as walking and possible interactions, I avoid other people and animals, just to keep everyone safe. I don’t want another animal or person to harm your pet.

“Norman, pup & I had a meet & greet, then set up one walk so far. It was a straight forward collaboration. Communications were clear & I came home to a happy healthy pup. Looking forward to continuing.”

Megan K.

“Ella is amazing! She’s reliable, flexible with scheduling, and always provides detailed updates after each walk. My dog Shelby loves her and is always happy and well taken care of when I get home. I would highly recommend her for anyone seeking an easy, trustworthy sitter!”

Julia S.

“Rebecca took great care of my dog. She fed him, took him out, and sent pictures when they were done. I came home to a very happy puppy. I would recommend.”

“Richard has been fantastic with our high energy boys. Am thrilled with how much they enjoy engaging with him. He has also been very reliable and responsive! Thanks”

About: What sets me apart is my combination of genuine love for animals and a strong medical background. I’ve cared for newborn puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs, so I understand how to monitor behavior, appetite, energy levels, and subtle signs that something may be off. I’m especially comfortable with young pets who need patience and structure, as well as senior pets who require gentler handling and close observation. I stay calm under pressure, follow instructions carefully, and prioritize safety at all times. Beyond experience, I truly bond with the animals I care for. I don’t just “watch” pets, I pay attention to their personality, their routines, and what makes them feel secure. Pet care is something I intentionally build my routine around. As I transition from the Dominican Republic to the U.S., caring for animals has become both a meaningful part of my daily life and a professional commitment. As a medical doctor, I’m naturally attentive, observant, and detail-oriented. I organize my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, timely feedings, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions their owners provide. I’m comfortable monitoring behavior, appetite, and energy levels, and I remain calm and proactive if something seems off. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in, it’s something I prioritize. When caring for pets, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and environment to reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any specific habits or preferences. As a medical doctor, I’m attentive to detail and observant of subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. I remain calm, organized, and proactive, always prioritizing safety and hygiene. I’m also very respectful of my client’s space, keeping everything clean, secure, and just as it was left. My goal is to provide dependable care so both pets and owners feel completely at ease.

“Very personable, professional and prompt.”

About: I've got a lot of experience with pet care, especially with dogs. What makes me stand out as a sitter is my dedication to their well-being and ensuring they feel loved and safe. I specialize in training puppies and providing excellent senior care for older dogs. I believe that every dog deserves the best care possible, and I strive to provide that for each furry friend I look after. If you ever need advice on training puppies or caring for senior dogs, feel free to ask me! Pet care is a significant part of my daily routine. I make sure to prioritize the well-being of my furry friends by incorporating feeding, grooming, exercise, and playtime into my daily schedule. Training sessions are also crucial to keep them mentally stimulated and happy. My pets are like family to me, so I always ensure they receive the care and attention they deserve every day. I make sure to provide a safe, trustworthy environment for pets in both my home and my client's home. Depending on the service I offer, I tailor my care routines to meet the specific needs of each pet. This can include feeding, grooming, exercise, playtime, and ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for them to thrive. I always prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care.

About: I’ve had a furry best friend for as long as I can remember. I will take care of your baby as if it were my own and will adhere to any special instructions as well as try to stick to a consistent routine they may already be used to. I will always ask of temperaments of your pet to see if they prefer not to be around other dogs/animals to assure their safety. I provide an awesome and safer alternative than placing your four-legged family members in the huge, highly commercialized, never-leave-the-cage kennels or pet hotels. I offer a great experience for dogs in a safe, clean and secure environment. Plenty of playing and exercise, my home is located near a park. I am currently working full-time, however I currently am available on some weekdays (message me in advance for weekly availability). I am available all day on weekends, and holidays (check for availability). I have a 9 year-old Olde English Bulldog whom we affectionately call our Fat BaBy. He gets along well with other dogs, very chill!! I am experienced in many facets of care, including walking, feedings, giving medications, and truly giving the dog center stage to make them feel comfortable and loved while their family is away at work or on vacation!

“Jen took my dog Nikki for a great walk and sent pictures and potty updates! She was a good communicator and Nikki was happy and relaxed when I got home from work. I’ll be hiring Jen again!”

I will do my best to provide the same love and care for your dogs that you do! Wherever your dog normally sleeps, I try to give them the same accommodations.

At my home I have a fenced in yard with signs to remind people to close the gate, and I also have a few different gates inside to separate dogs if needed.

About: I had a childhood dog I would walk when I was old enough, and I currently have an amazing 8 year old mutt who I’ve raised since she was a puppy. I love animals and will be happy to take good care of your pets! During the school year I’m a collegiate student-athlete, but my summers are free. I work as a babysitter and at a camp for a week over, so I’ll have plenty of free time to hang out with your pets over the summer months! I take long walks with my dog everyday while I’m home from school and am very capable of and would love to do the same for your dogs!
