“Dmitra was wonderful. We were able to get a last minute spot for a walk and to be fed. Super huge help! Mel was super happy and loved Dmitra. Very timely and all around great experience! Definitely going to book with Dmitra again!”
“Alexandra is great! She has been my twice weekly dog walker for about a month now. She communicates extremely well and is very reliable. She leaves detailed info on how the walk went with my dog, which I appreciate. She has gone out of her way to accommodate Ada, who can at times be shy with new people. Would recommend!”
About: Hi! Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. My love of animals is probably one of my most defining characteristics. I grew up taking care of my family’s dogs & cats, volunteered at a local shelter throughout high school & college, & I now have a dog & 2 cats of my own! I’m also a certified Physician Assistant, so giving medications or injections is no problem! I recently accepted a job where I am able to work partially from home, which allows my schedule to be very flexible in the early afternoon to evening. I’m also available varying weekends depending on my travel plans! I’m very thorough & detail-oriented. I know what it’s like to want your pet to be in the best hands, so that’s what I’m here to offer!
“Carol did an amazing job and my little Maggie fell in Love with her unlike any other Dog walkers. she was on time and every though it was raining, she managed to get our girl an a great walk. Book her for sure 👍❤️”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. My first dog on my own as an adult is currently a senior. He is a very sweet and gentle dog who loves to play with new friends. I have about 10 years of experience, dog sitting friends and family members' dogs. I am comfortable working with food aggressive dogs, highly anxious dogs, and everyone in between. I am experience with administering medications, working with puppies and supporting senior dogs. I have a great track record with leash training, potty training and winning over anxious dogs. I use positive reinforcement (single ingredient dried pumpkin treats) to keep your pups attention and gain their trust. I am happy to do a meet and greet beforehand in order to gain your trust too :) I look forward to working with you! I currently work part-time, Monday, Wednesday, Friday 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. I am available for walks after 2:00 p.m. on those days and all day Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am available Monday through Friday for pet sitting, but will be out of the house for the hours of 8-1 MWF. My partner works from home, so if your dog need 24/7 care we can arrange that. As I mentioned in my bio, my main training mechanism is positive reinforcement. I do not believe in punishing dogs. In my experience it does not work and does not feel good! That being said, I am happy to work with you and come up with a plan together.
“I'd definitely recommend Alex! He's been walking my dog Millie for about 2 months -- he's communicative and has been very flexible with his schedule. In particular, he's been extremely helpful at keeping an eye out when Millie has something health-related pop up that needs to be monitored, which gives me a ton of peace-of-mind!”
About: I have always had dogs growing up, and I have been watching other dogs for many years. I work with both big and small dogs. I work Monday through Friday 9-5 but i am available before and after work as well as weekends. I am also available Wednesdays all day I believe in taking things slow and earning trust. Animals deserve to be respected in their homes, and I think this is key to good vibes
“Absolutely awesome with my dog Bodhi! Highly recommend you trust Therese with your best buddy. Outstanding communicator, trustworthy , dependable and reliable. My dog LOVES it when she comes to play! 🐾”
“We do reaccurring weekly walks with Devin. He is always so very kind and professional. Our dexter loves him and I feel so comfortable having such a gentle animal lover help out with our dog!”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals — starting with playful puppies and large-breed dogs. As a lifelong pet owner myself, I understand the deep bond between pets and their families. I've raised both big and small dogs and supported friends, neighbors, and clients by providing loving, reliable care for their animals when they couldn’t be there. I’m also comfortable and experienced around children and elderly individuals, which allows me to provide a calm, respectful, and compassionate presence in any home. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel at ease, knowing they're in capable and caring hands. I’m available to care for your pets during regular workday hours, with occasional evening and weekend availability as well. Whether you need a midday check-in, a weekday companion, or occasional support outside the 9–5, I’m here to help keep your pets happy and comfortable while you're away. I understand how important your pet’s safety is, especially when someone else is entering your home. That’s why I take extra care during every visit — making sure doors and gates are securely closed, checking surroundings before entering or exiting, and always keeping your pet's safety and comfort as my top priority. I know how stressful it can be to trust someone with your space and your pet, and I treat both with the respect, attention, and care they deserve.
About: I have had both dogs and cats my entire life and even had a ferret at one point. I am a dog walker and cat and dog sitter (or cat walker if you would like!). Some of my current clients have been with me for 5 years. I also volunteer at a local shelter. I can drop in after 3 on most days since I am a student and weekends I am more flexible so I can work around your needs. I have a closed yard for my German Shepard and my cat is strictly an indoor cat. We use a mixture of dry and wet food for both animals and have frequent potty breaks for the dog.
About: I have a dog of my own, a Shih Tzu that I have personally cared for a decade. So walking is no problem at all, I’m used to it. There is also my cat Momo that I have since 2023. I also have worked at a doggy daycare place so I have worked with multiple dogs at once and fed them on time. Also took them for walks and will clean their paws afterwards. I even keep them entertained by giving lots of cuddles and toys to keep their minds active. This really helps when they are just stuck in a room bored waiting for their owners. This sets me apart from others because not only do I have personal experience, I experienced it on a professional level that I know how to handle things efficiently. Every day I start with feeding my dog and cat then some playtime mid day with the cat because the dog is quite old now. Then I end the day with a second meal for them and cleaning up the litter box and the pee matt for the senior dog I have to do the most care with my dog since he has dry eyes so it is a daily repetitive task of giving him his eye medication.
“Ann has been walking Hank for the past month. She has been so dependable and conscientious. Hank is sweet but he can be obstinate about walking. Ann has gone above and beyond to work with him and help him trust her. Hank loves her!”
“My pups, Rex and Bex, have been walking with David every week for a year. On the days that they know he’s coming, they can’t contain their excitement and sit at the window waiting for him! He is a reliable and caring dog walker for my energetic labs.”
“This was our first booking with Joe and it went great!! He and our pup got along very well He was knowledgeable and experienced. I will definitely schedule more walks with him!”
About: I have had cats and dogs and been a part of their care for my entire life. I currently have three cats of my own who I care for. One is on a special diet and has previously needed medication given via pill and syringe form, so I have experience in these areas. I have done drop in cat sitting and dog sitting for family previously. I am currently a graduate student at Chatham University. I am available every day to do drop in visits. As I am a student and my schedule can be different day to day, timing each day is best discussed case by case! I will follow directions provided by the client and be flexible to things that come up in the moment. I will always make sure the pets are in a safe location and that areas are appropriate for them to go into before allowing them to move freely (doors and gates shut and locked as needed). I will make sure that I do a final check of the home before leaving to make sure there is no risk of the pet accessing something they should not or having the ability to exit the home.
About: I have completed the Fearfree training courses and am certified to volunteer at my local animal shelter, where i have been volunteering for the past month, caring for rabbits, ferrets and guinea pigs. I have also cared for many pets through my entire life, both dogs and cats. They are all fantastic pure beings, and make my life much richer for having them in it. I have a wide open schedule starting at 11:00am each day except for Tuesday. If you need me to work outside of my usual hours, please give me 3 days notice and I will work with you. Im a very caring and compassionate handler. I love walking, dropping in for lunch or dinner, but I will also spend extra time for playtime and cuddles. Any other accommodations, just let me know. Im very comfortable around dogs and cats, as well as most other types of pets and look forward to meeting my new best buddy.

Cooper enjoyed his walks with Alexandra , because he went with her the second day without hesitation . He loves being outside. I'm sorry it rained those 2 days and it was kind of miserable. Alexandra saved me, because I'm sick and didn't have the energy to walk Cooper.
Tomorrow is the third birthday of my two Maltese - Shih Tsu mix dogs, and Heather has been walking them ever since they came into my life at 4 months of age. They LOVE her and she treats them as her own. She is very trustworthy and even though it means she might not be available when I call, I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who asks!!
Rachel is the most pleasant and loving dogs ever . She understands dogs behavior and needs, she approached our dog with gentleness and let her get to know her slowly and then off they walked to gether. I am looking forward to have her coming for my dog as much as she can.
Kelsey was incredibly kind and wonderful with our dog! She was available rather last minute which was so helpful. And she was very accommodating to my homebody pup. She also asked about her needs beforehand, which I appreciated, and provided updates and photos. Thank you Kelsey!!
