“Nicholas was terrific! Prompt, friendly and reliable. I had Nicholas walk my dog every morning for a week just after I had back surgery. My dog took to him right away and got so excited to see him every morning. Nicholas took different waking routes but preferred taking my dog to the field which he most enjoyed. Great guy. Highly recommend!”


“Kevin is terrific. Very knowledgeable about dogs, professional and friendly. Most importantly, Scout immediately felt comfortable with Kevin - which really made me feel comfortable. Very pleased that Kevin was available to help care for Scout.”



“Angelica was absolutely fantastic for Casey and our family. From the initial meet and greet through our weekend away, Angelica was on point for our needs and Casey’s needs. Attentive and thorough, would definitely recommend for anyone needing a walker.”


About: My love for pets shines through in every moment I spend with them. My deep bond with animals reflects a lifetime of joy, companionship, and understanding. Whether it's the wag of a dog's tail, or the gentle purr of a cat, or a feisty jump of a puppy, or a nudge from a senior pal, I embrace the unique personality of each pet that I provide care. My care showcases my dedication and nurturing spirit, ensuring that every furry friend feels loved and cherished, just as I have experienced throughout my journey with them. I am currently a fulltime mom with two daughters, one in college and one high schooler. I'm looking to fill my days with some fun-loving care for pets. Availability is currently open seven days a week. Pets tend to feel more comfortable in their own surroundings. I offer in-home visits and walks. This is a great option for pets who prefer familiar scents, routines, and spaces. I maintain their usual feeding, walking, and play schedule, keep litter boxes or outdoor areas clean, and make sure they feel calm and cared for while you're away. I care for your pets as if they were my own—with patience, responsibility, and love. My goal is to give you peace of mind and give your pet a happy, safe experience. I provide structured care, positive reinforcement, and lots of affection. Whether your pet is active, shy, elderly, or has special needs, I tailor my approach to ensure they feel secure and well-loved. I typically like to have a consultation to meet the pet and owner and to ensure I can personally care for them and to understand each pets' individual needs. I do understand that in certain circumstances a consultation is not possible and I am willing to consider those jobs as well.

“Michael is amazing! Contacted him about walking our pups. He responded within an hour and set up a meet and greet. When walking our pups he provided many details about the walk as well as pictures. We will definitely have him walk our pups again. Great experience”

About: I love dogs and they love me! I have cared for dogs my entire life from pitbulls to Chinese crested, I just love them all. I do wedding doggy sitting as well which often involves getting them dressed up and ready for the most special day of someone’s life! I take caring for your babies very seriously as I would want my own little guy cared for! I currently work remotely with a flexible schedule and can pop in on your pup every few hours during the week for walks or check ins. I am also a dog sitter for weddings so while I have no ratings here at the moment, I’m very experienced with fur babes! I am very careful and attentive with dogs and would ensure their safety at all times. Leashing when needed, crating if necessary. I would follow any directions provided to a T.

“We just started using Samantha after moving to Shrewsbury from the city and she has been great! We are so relieved we have someone we can count on to take care of our dog while we are in NYC for work! She makes it so easy and we know our Tosh is in great hands.”


About: I'm Michael, your Fair Haven Hound Dog Walker! Serving the local Two Rivers area and adjacent towns, I provide both dog walking and pet drop in visits that can be scheduled on a consistent or as needed basis. Services can be tailored to the needs of pets and owners alike. Walks are a happy and healthy way to give your pet a bit of exercise and social interaction! 30 minute walks (or longer) can be around your local neighborhood or a nearby park, wherever your dog is most comfortable. If a walk is not the right fit for your dog, a drop-in visit is a great option to provide your pet with some human companionship (potty break and some treats too!). All sizes and breeds are welcome! I have experience with pets of all kinds, including horses! My goal is to provide a relaxed and happy experience for both pet and owner. I offer flexible hours for convenience. Please contact me with any questions or requests! **Have an open and flexible schedule due to being retired **I will take time to walk your pet for at least 30 minutes or more upon request I will make sure your fur balls get some exercise and everything else they need from being out and about on their walks all while being safe!

About: I have experience training and caring for dogs and cats. I Specialize in dogs with hearing issues/ deafness. Both of my dogs are graduates of multiple behavioral and obedience classes resulting in our therapy certifications. We visit a multitude of schools, hospitals and other wellness centers. All volunteer work done by my companions and myself is strictly a passion and non profit. I was inspired by a visitation to my grandfather by a golden retriever, when my grandfather was in the hospital for open heart surgery. Seeing my grandfathers reaction to a dog visitation while he was in the hospital was a monumental moment for me that further inspired my passion and drive to work with dogs. I currently work early mornings for a government agency as an officer which gives me a lot of available free time at off times of the day and week. Making me readily available to care for your pets . A fenced yard is a must. My dogs are trained and raised to be curious and outgoing, thus a fence is needed. Although my dogs don’t need a leash, I find it’s necessary to generally have a leash attached. I allow my dogs to be curious, and put there noses where many wouldn’t generally allow. It’s important to always cover your stove switches/ burners with dog safety devices!. But ultimately I strongly believe in allowing your dogs and pets to be curious and open to learning. Dogs and cats alike are much smarter then most realize, and I believe this is there first time living as well.. and deserve the best experiences life has to offer!

“This was our first time using Rover and Christen. She was great with our dog who seemed to really like her. Christen was knowledgeable and easy going. We will definitely hire her again!”


About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifetime of love and dedication to every animal I care for. From raising blue ribbon show dogs to nurturing pets with special needs, I’ve seen it all—and loved them all. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My deep empathy and understanding of animal behavior ensure your pet receives not just care, but comfort and connection. Whether it's a leisurely walk, a wellness check-in, or specialized support, your furry (or otherwise!) family is in gentle, experienced hands. I am a middle school and high school ESL teacher, which gives me a lot of flexibility over the summer to take care of furry friends! As our yard is not fenced in, and we have two cats of our own inside, caring for pets in my own home is sadly not an option. However I'm happy to come over as frequently as needed for walks and check-ins

About: I have experience in caring for dogs of all ages, puppies-senior dogs. Can give meds as per owners instruction. I am very reliable and you can count on me to take care of your dog and make them feel comfortable! I work 3 shifts per week so have 4 (sometimes more) days off in which I am hoping to fill with dog sitting/walking business. Very flexible schedule. I will honor the instructions the owner gives me when caring for their beloved pet! My yard is completely fenced in and I stand outside when letting them out.

About: I’ve had animals since about the age of 3! I’ve taken care of family and friends pets before starting to do it for others. I am a stay at home mom of 2 great kids. I have a very flexible schedule. I currently have 2 dogs, one of which is a rescue. Please feel free to message me with any questions. I have many references. I am a stay at home mom of 2 young boys, so I have a flexible schedule. I can work with you and your pets needs. I have a large fenced in yard with 2 small fur babies! They are extremely friendly! I am also able to care for your pet in your Home however you like!

About: Hello there! I’ve been a caretaker of animals big and small—furry, feathered, scaly, and everything in between—for as long as I can remember. Whether it's a playful pup or a senior kitty, I approach every pet with compassion, patience, and respect for their unique personality. I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. My late Samoyed, Mackenzie, was my pride and joy—I raised her from puppyhood and later cared for her through diabetes, administering insulin and giving her the support she needed to thrive. These days, the current love of my life is Tucker, a Poodle/Bichon mix with a heart of gold. I’ve trained him to be a model canine citizen—he’s friendly with other dogs, gentle with kids, and so well-behaved that neighbors stop just to say hello! I know every pet is different, and I’m happy to tailor my care to what your animal loves most—whether that’s belly rubs and cuddles, long adventurous walks, a vigorous game of fetch, or simply hanging out together in the backyard. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Let’s chat about how I can help care for your beloved companion! I recently moved to the area and am not currently working full-time, so I am available to provide 24 hour care for your pets with occasional brief periods out of the house. My home is a puppy paradise - there are dog beds scattered throughout the house along with several baskets filled to the brim with stuffed toys and balls, so your precious pup can lounge or play as much as they want. I allow dogs on the couch and they are always welcome in bed, but if your dog prefers a crate to feel safe, you can either bring your own or I can provide a large crate that they can use during their time at my home. My backyard is not fully fenced so I would not allow them outside off-leash, but there are two amazing parks nearby that are perfect for walks and a good sniff or two. If you are comfortable with it, I would also be happy to bring your dog to the Wolf Hill Off-Leash Dog Park for socialization.

About: My wife and I currently travel quite often and we love animals and enjoy meeting different people in our travels. Were looking forward to meeting you and your fur friends. I have a very flexible schedule. I work remote. I could be available morning, afternoons and evenings. Depending on the age of your animal they'll get nice long walks. We can provide a safe environment for your animals. They will be loved on and cared for like they were our own. I've been doing this for at least 3.5 years.

About: Lifetime dog lover, searching for some pups that need some daytime love and exercise. I have owned a boxer, cane corso and a sheep dog but can’t responsibly own a dog in my current work situation. Would love to meet you and make a new furry friend! I typically walk between 5 and 10 miles a day for exercise/health reasons, love dogs but can’t own a dog in my current rental. Hoping to add a furry companion to my days. I grew up with a boxer named Lucky and have had pets my entire life, would love to meet you and yours, home visits or walks, my work schedule is flexible, just let me know how I can help!

About: I have watched and walked all types of dogs from my family’s fur babies, my own , and friends. I’m good with tiny dogs like my miniature dachshund or big dogs like my aunts German Shepard, I handle them all with love and keep it fun! I’m a millennial so you should expect many pictures and videos of your adorable little fur babies of their walks :)! I will treat your dogs as if they were my own, I love all animals and enjoy spending my time with them! I wish to make a living offf helping animals so I figured dog sitting would be a great way to see some adorable little dogs and provide them the play and stay they deserve here with me and my pooch Lorenzo.

marissa h.
“Marissa is an animal lover…..all animals. Over the years I have often left her with my pets and my only worry is that they would want to stay in her care, She is patient and kind with pets. She goes out of her way to make them comfortable and safe. She takes the time to make special foods, and make special accommodations when needed. She loves her pets and just assumes that everyone close to her would feel the same - thus the many photos we get. (We do) She takes extra care and forethought when she has to leave her pets with someone. She knows what is needed and looks for someone with a little “extra” in the way of care, She just enjoys her animals and I don’t think I have ever heard her complain about them, as amazing as that is. I did not know she was looking for this type of job, but she would be perfect for it. Cindy Paterno”

Samantha M.
“Samantha is a true god send for our dog, Frankie. Frankie is a five year old rescue who has severe anxiety due to her sad start in life. Samantha is the only person we can leave Frankie with. Frankie finds pure comfort and happiness with Samantha. She is reliable, punctual, loving, and very detail orientated to the walking and medication schedule Frankie relies on and has become accustomed to. Every dog would love a Samantha!”


Suzanne F.
“I’ve known Suzy for over 26 years, and her love for animals is truly special. She’s raised two awesome dogs and is always the go-to person when friends or family need a pet sitter. She treats every animal like her own—with tons of love, patience, and care. She even made me a cat person! I was never into cats before, but the ones she helped raise changed my mind. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your pets, Suzy’s the one. You’ll be able to relax knowing they’re in amazing hands.”


Troy & Marybeth L.
“I am unsure my words here can express to you how amazing Marybeth and Troy were as my pet sitters this past week. I have a pug, a very needy Velcro pug and they were so great with him! I’m unsure Max even missed me. Marybeth and Troy would send me short videos or photos just a couple times a day of their activities with Max. This was perfect as I was very focused at the conference I was attending. While I was a little nervous at first, it was clear from all the photos that Max was having a blast! What’s more is, I have a LOT of plants and Troy took on the challenge of caring for them too along with some of my home repairs I’d put off for too long! The most interesting thing was when I got home, we had a one evening overlap and Max really wanted to stay with Marybeth and Troy! That’s love and great care of a pet ❤️🐾I feel like I have new friends with MaryBeth and Troy. So does Max. They are welcome here anytime whether I am traveling or not!”
