About: I took care of my neighbors dogs while she was away. I've house sat before and I enjoy long and or short walks with any dog! I'm home from school for the summer so I have plenty of free time to walk and over house sit! I'm free in the mornings and afternoon, 7 days a week. I can walk your dog as far as you would like and will spend as much time with your dog as necessary! I enjoy staying active and don't mind taking your dog for runs as well!
“Nataleigh is awesome. She was very flexible about the appointment time and shows up in time! She has taken really good care of our Sela who is recovering from knee surgery. I would highly recommend her.”

“I had the pleasure of having Lilly, walk my Dog Simon 3-4xs a week for 2 months. She was always punctual on timing and if she was ever running behind she would make sure to give a notice. Most importantly I enjoyed seeing Simòn happy upon her arrival, tail wagging through my Furbo Dog camera, she always greeted him with scratches and made sure to give him a treat before leaving. I appreciated the photos during the walks around the neighborhood or if Simòn was being lazy instead of ending the walk she would sit outside with him while he sun bathed giving him scratches. Lilly thank you so much for helping me out during this time!”

“Fern walked my dog two mornings in a row and she was always punctual, and overall amazing!! No complaints whatsoever. My Dutch Shepherd can be highly energetic but Fern knew how to connect with her from day 1”

“Ciara did a great job walking and feeding our dog Skippy. He is finicky eater and she got him to eat all his chow. She definitely has a way with animals. I highly recommend her services.”

“Melissa was great. My dog doesn’t always walk well for new people and he took to her right away. She took the time to come by for a meet and greet and we were really impressed!”

About: I have cared for my dog since a young age and she is a happy 11 year old dog. I also have another dog who is three years old and I take care of both of them. I go to school in rome as well as play soccer there and I am home for the summer so I have plenty of free time. I will feed, walk, and care for the pets whatever their needs may be. Whatever the pet owners demand, I will provide to the best of my abilities.

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life, and have dog sat for neighbors and friends for many years. Taken care of senior dogs with seizures, to kittens and teething puppies. I work a low stress remote job and can work from anywhere. I can stay in your home, or travel there frequently if it isn’t too far. I have the freedom to take frequent breaks for walks and give plenty attention to your furry babies 🐾 I am great with all animals, and can do whatever you need me to do in terms of walks, cuddles, food, etc. I also am easily reachable and keep my phone at me at all times.

About: Hi!! My name is Kate and I love all types of pets. I’ve had pets all throughout my life. I have been pet sitting for over 5 years and I can’t wait to meet new furry friends! I have experience dog walking, pet sitting while owners are away, giving medication, and more! I am available anytime for pet care, whether that be dog walking to pet sitting while you are gone! I make sure the pups get lots of activity outside and more attention when we get back in! I always make sure that the pet is safe in their environment. I check to make sure they have enough food/water and look around for any accidents.
About: I’ve spent years caring for all kinds of pets—from shy seniors to high-energy pups—and I really take the time to get to know what each one needs to feel happy and comfortable. I’m super patient, and I love finding the little things that make each pet light up, whether that’s a favorite toy or a quiet cuddle. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and totally at home while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins, so giving pets consistent care fits really smoothly into my day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening chill time, I make sure each pet gets the attention and structure they’re used to. Even on busy weeks, I carve out dedicated time so every animal I’m caring for gets patience, affection, and a routine that feels familiar to them. I listen to you. In my home, I keep pets on their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. If I’m at a client’s home, I follow their rules and their pet’s normal schedule so everything feels familiar.
“Stephen H did an exceptional job walking our 2 dogs. He came on shorter notice than I would normally provide due to a family emergency. He was always punctual and brought sunshine to the dogs and their owners. He trained our 3 y/o greyhound mix to walk on a leash in 3 days. He took care of the dogs so well that I will always go to him first for future dog walking jobs. Thank you, Stephen H.”
“Jay displayed professionalism and patience when my dogs were being difficult. She had great communication and made us feel comfortable leaving them in her care. Would 100% recommend!”

Elizabeth has such a calm and reassuring demeanor, and my dog absolutely lights up when she comes over for a walk. She communicates quickly and clearly, which makes scheduling around my work week incredibly easy. I always know my dog is in good hands with her. Highly recommend!
