My dog was happy, wait for him , and got plenty of exercise and attention. It’s clear that Johnathan genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable. I highly recommend Johnathan to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible dog sitter!”

“This was Joey’s first time with someone new on a walk and on top of that while he is waiting for surgery on an ACL tear. Mary Jo was very patient with him and provided TLC since he is a big mush! I would definitely recommend her and use her again!”
About: I’ve been obsessed with dogs ever since I was a kid and channeled that obsession into research for how to understand and care for dogs. After years of begging, I have a three-year old pup of my own and have been entrusted to take care of many friends’ and family’s beloved pets since then. I trained my dog on my own (crate training, prong training, house training, tricks, etc.) and taught my family to also keep him trained.I also worked at a pet resort for a summer where my responsibilities including walking dogs of all backgrounds, cleaning suites, keeping track of dogs’ schedules and routines, and fulfilling any other specifics that parents requested for their babies. I am currently home from college for summer break so I am available to be there for your dogs at any time on any day. I know how to entertain and care for dogs in many environments whether that be apartments, fenced backyards, homes, etc. I am versed in a plethora of activities and enrichment for dogs
“Lenny is fantastic. I needed a sitter at the last minute and she was happy to help. She was prompt every day, responsive, thoughtful about my pup’s needs and sent great pictures and videos. We’ll definitely be asking for Lenny’s dog walking help in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years and have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, frogs, anoles/geckos and fish. I grew up with pets and got my first dog at 18, which really shaped my love and understanding of animal care. Since then, I have raised multiple cats (including rescues and bonded pairs) and a Black Lab, all in a busy, loving, kid-friendly and family oriented home. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medications, and caring for pets at all life stages—from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra attention. My pets have always been part of the family, so I know how important it is to provide not just basic care, but comfort, patience, and a safe environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care, and I’m happy to tailor my services to fit each pet’s unique needs and routine. I work full-time as an educator, so I’m available before and after school hours during the week, as well as on weekends. My schedule is very consistent, and I’m home in the afternoons, evenings, and nights for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. During the summer, I have much more flexibility and availability throughout the day, which allows me to provide even more hands-on attention and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort means everything to me. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most relaxed and secure, and I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I offer drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care, and I always take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, habits, and little quirks so they feel comfortable with me. I’m very attentive, patient, and experienced with feeding routines, administering medication, and caring for both young and senior pets. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re part of my own family—I’ll always keep you updated so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Wow - I cannot thank Boryana enough for all of her patience and professionalism! She was the first dog walker we EVER hired for our dog. With two young kids and both working parents it was becoming increasingly difficult to take our dog out on all his needed walks. I must admit we were super nervous about getting someone else to walk our dog because he does not do well with strangers. Boryana made sure to take it step by step every day to the point that our dog got so comfortable with her and was looking forward to his walks with her! She was always punctual and very communicative. Thank you Boryana!!”
About: I love dogs and have always grown up with them. My first dog was a St. Bernard/Lab mix and I currently have two spoiled Havanese pups that are brothers. I am reliable, believe in clear communication and provide frequent updates to ensure that owners are comfortable knowing their pets are safe and happy while they’re away! I’m in school part-time and work per diem so I’m pretty flexible with my time. Let me know what works for you and your pet(s) and I’m sure we can figure something out! I treat every dog that I look after as if they were my own. I’ll make sure to build trust and give them all the extra love, cuddles, and attention while you’re away!
“Elizabeth is a wonderful dog walker! I'm very happy with her, and so is my dog! She is always on time, patient with my dog, Ivy, and doesn't let her eat grass! Ivy has gotten to know the sound of Elizabeth's car and starts getting excited to see her before she even gets the car parked! I've booked Elizabeth for another week!”
“We are so grateful to have found someone as patient and kind as Joel for our dog Lucy. She can be quite nervous and hesitant around new people, but Joel took the time to understand her pace and earn her trust. His calm and gentle approach made a huge difference—Lucy is now excited for her walks! Highly recommend for anyone with a sensitive or anxious pup.”
“Brianna was very kind to my dogs and made sure I came home to no accidents! With the warm weather we’ve been having she was kind enough to modify our walking routine to make sure the dogs were comfortable, has followed typical feeding schedules, and adjusted to my youngest dog’s needs through his medical issues. I am happy to recommend her as a reliable pet sitter for anyone in need”
“Janine is great! My dog Bernie loves his walks with her and she leaves me adorable pictures! I really appreciate having you as a resource Janine! I know the pup is probably looking forward to my next trip away!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lovers with a deep passion of caring for pets of all kinds. Growing up surrounded by cats, dogs, and plenty of other furry (and not-so-furry) friends taught me how much love and care they deserve. My top priority is always making sure your pets are happy, healthy, and feeling loved. From feeding routines and walks to cuddle time (or just calm company for the more independent types), I make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for according to their unique personality. I love keeping pets engaged with fun, stimulating activities. For cats, that might mean interactive toys, puzzle feeders, or laser play. For dogs, it’s usually games of fetch, tug-of-war, or a good old-fashioned frisbee toss. Even reptiles get the same thoughtful attention (maybe less cuddling, but plenty of care and respect!). Every pet deserves the best care possible, and that’s what I promise to provide. Whether you’re going away for a day or a week, I will treat your furry family member as if they were our own. I’d love to meet your pets and help you feel at ease while you’re away!

I am a teacher during the school year and I am looking to use my summer free time by providing you with ease and peace of mind when it comes to your pet! I have a fenced in yard, plenty of food, treats, toys and beds for my own dog. I ensure daily meals are met, medications are taken, and exercise is completed!
About: I have loved animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a senior dog that needs extra patience and care, I am attentive to each dog’s individual needs and know how to read their behavior to make them feel comfortable and safe. I helped train my dog, Moose, and have also cared for my family’s dogs through dog sitting and walking. What sets me apart is the genuine joy I get from bonding with animals. I truly love spending time with dogs and creating a positive, caring environment where they feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I am currently home for a few months before moving to start my full time job, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am available most days with a bit of notice and can accommodate early mornings, evenings, or late nights depending on what works best for you and your pet! I provide attentive and safe care for pets both at home and in clients homes. At home, my dog has a fenced in backyard for exercise and play, and I always supervise him while he is outside. On walks, I use a harness because it is safest and most comfortable option for his walking style. I always pay close attention to a pet’s behavior, comfort, and safety during walks and visits.

Adriane is wonderful with my puppies. She is punctual, reliable, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to my two crazy Boston Terriers. She is patient, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I always feel at ease knowing they are in such good hands, and they are always happy and well cared for after their walks. I truly appreciate her professionalism, dependability, and the kindness she shows my dogs every time.
We couldn’t be happier with Nicholas! He was punctual for every single walk, which gave us such peace of mind, and his communication was excellent—updates and photos after each walk made us feel connected and reassured while we were away. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker!
