“My dog got a cut on her ear walking in the woods, and Brittanie responded perfectly. She reached out to me, we discussed what to do, and she waited for my sister to arrive. Turned out to be very minor, but I was so grateful she was extra cautious and communicative. I feel really comfortable with her caring for my Millie.”
“Antonio is an amazing dog walker. He brings treats for my dog, Kapu, and makes sure Kapu takes water breaks during his walks. I’m almost never home when Antonio comes but I assure you that you can trust him 100% with any task. He knows where my house keys are & he leaves everything back in its place and always brings my dog safely back home after every walk. I really trust this guy & He’s always the first person I turn to when I need someone to walk my dog. Also, my dog is pretty big and really needs to get his exercise in, most dog walkers can barely get a mile done in a hour but Antonio pretty much always walks 2 miles with my dog which is AMAZING since my dog can become pretty destructive when he’s home alone & full of energy but luckily he comes home to sleep after his walk! I am looking forward to continuing to work with Antonio! Thanks for everything!”
“I felt very confident when she was enthusiastic about setting up a quick meet and greet. She completed the walk despite a minor collar failure, and I appreciated her transparency with the situation. Professional, polite, and wonderful to work with!”
About: I’m a full time ER tech at a 24 hour veterinary hospital. I have experience with all manner of creatures (large, small and exotic) I work part time in an animal shelter as well. I have a pit mix who is a therapy dog for the past 8 years who I trained myself. I have 3 cats as well a snake and bearded dragon all of which are rescues. I am comfortable administering any and all medications for any species. As well as providing the special care senior and special needs pets require. I love big dogs and am confident in my handling ability to walk and care for them. From working in the shelter I understand how to make a fearful dog feel more comfortable and am willing to give plenty of time for them to do it on their terms I currently work overnights so I would be unavailable from 10 pm to 8 am certain days. I currently work full time (4 10 hours shifts) so overnight care for those particular days (Monday, Wednesday Thursday and Friday) are difficult. Otherwise I’m available 10am and later I provide a mix of affection for your pet while also feeling confident about enforcing and rules/ boundaries that are set up by you such as no jumping/licking/ barking. Having trained my personal dog for therapy work using only positive reinforcement you can be sure you pet will be handled gently
About: I've been looking after dogs and cats since I was 12! They've ranged from my grandma's shitzu to dog sitting mastiffs! I've even watched reptiles like ball pythons and geckos. I've walked, bathed, fed, watered, and loved them the whole time. I, myself, have 2 bunnies, fish, and a ball python. All together the most dogs I've ever watched at the same time was 28! It was 5 adults dogs, one puppy the equivalent to a toddler, and 22 puppies! At the moment I'm hoping that pet care will become a full-time job. At the moment I am able to do any day and any time. I, sadly, do not have a cute puppy or kitty to play with your fur baby, however it just means they get more love from me! I can lift a 75 pound dog if needed and have the resources to contain one if necessary.
About: I have had my family dog for the past 8 years, a small chihuahua. I love playing fetch with dogs and giving them belly rubs. I currently work from home Monday and Fridays so I am able to take a break and come help whenever needed. On the days I am in the office I can stop by after work. I can play with your pet, I can feed them what ever their diet consists of, I can take them on however long of a walk they enjoy because I also enjoy walking.
About: I have taken care of my family dog in many different capacities since I was 6 years old, and I enjoy walking, playing with, or just being active around all different kinds of dogs! I currently work at a middle school, so my summers, weekends, and afternoons are generally free! I also live in a pet-friendly home and a great spot for walks near the downtown New Bedford area. I make sure pets I’m taking care of can get a proper amount of attention and activity, so it feels like less of a scary change and more of a fun playdate.
“Naomi is wonderful! Walking our two dogs throughout the busy streets of Manhattan is not always a “walk in the park” but Naomi always seems to find great places and furrfriends to say hi to during the walks. She is so knowledgeable and patient with our rambunctious pups - we couldn’t thank her enough!”
“I utilized Lynne for daily walks/checkins for my dog while I was at work. Lynne was beyond amazing. She was reliable and flexible with my schedule, I always knew I could count on her. My dog is older and has some health issues and limitations, Lynne was great at taking these into consideration when caring for Neela. She was very gentle and patient, and Neela loved her for it. I highly recommend Lynne and the services she provides.”
“Kristie and Dom are great! They are so kind, and take such great care of our puppy!! They always send photos while they are there, and follow all the directions I leave to a T! I highly recommend them”
About: I've had all types of animals growing up. From small critters to dogs. Currently own 2 cats named Sasha and Coco, chickens and have 3 freshwater fish tanks. I've house/pet sit for friends over the years. I have pretty good flexibility everyday for short visits > 2 hours. I have two young children in school so depending on time frame one might have to accompany me but if not needed I can work around it. My cats are pretty self sufficient as cats are but they are fed every morning and evening and get treats. They are indoor cats aged 7 and 8. I feed fish daily and do water changes once a week as Maintenance. Chickens are a bit more daily maintenance with cleaning out coop everyday and filling water and feeder but it's rewarding (especially with getting eggs)

About: I am a vet tech and animal handler. I have been working and taking care of pets professionally for the last ten years both in doggy day care/ boarding and training but also emergency and critical care. I’m addition to my education and work history I also foster neonates, train, and help local rescues. I have been a life line for those who have older pets or those fresh from hospital stays for pet parents who appreciate the peace of mind someone is checking in. I have been the energy outlet for younger pets who are still learning, and will keep up and work with any training you’ve been learning. My availability is during normal working business hours, and I don’t mind late, or last minute bookings. I do require a meet and greet for new clients; as I believe it is important to know that it is a right fit for both myself but more importantly you and your pet. With my current work schedule and location I am happy to meet your pet for walks and drop ins! At this time I am not available for overnight boarding. I know what it takes to make a dog happy and enriched. I will enforce any training regime you’re currently working on, administer meds if needed. I treat every animal as though it is my own and am more then happy to provide pictures during visits and walks to keep owners updated about how their pet doing.
