“Jill has been watching my dog for a month and did a wonderful job! We did a meet and greet before she started watching my dog and I felt comfortable and Snowball loved you right from the beginning. If you need someone who you can trust and communicate with Jill is the person for your pet. I will be continuing her services for my pet. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!”


About: We have been around so many animals since we were little girls (dogs, cats, bunnies, lizards, snakes, hamsters, fish, … the list goes on lol), but dogs are the pet we’re most familiar with. We have always helped out with walking/taking care of dogs since we grew up with almost all our friends and family having dogs. They’re family :) We are available anytime (Tuesdays through Saturday) during the summer! We will be starting a Dental Assisting Program in September so our schedule will be tighter by then. For now, we can do daily/weekly (with the exceptions of Mondays and Sundays) :) We will always make sure the dog is comfortable and at ease in its environment. Whether thats outside being walked or even inside when they are getting to know us. It is important to have a mutual trust.

About: Since I was old enough to remember Ive had various types of animals both small and large. I had overseen , cared for and loved all my furry, scaled and feathered friends.

“Dawn is extremely reliable and great with my dog. Having a dog who isn’t good with other people or animals is a serious challenge as most know. I find comfort in knowing a truly experienced pet owner is walking my dog. With Koda being in good hands, I have even found less stress at work and I’m sure he feels the same. Value is more than I can ask for👍👍 Thank you!”


“Melissa was awesome to work with. She took great care of our dog, Axle. She is always on time and is very responsive. The details that she left for the walk was superb as well. We highly recommend Melissa and will 100% be using her help in the future. Thanks again, Melissa!”


About: I live with a Great Dane and a Mini Pitcher/Chihuahua mix. I have walked my neighbors dogs when they were out of town and played with them in their yard for a while. I watched my neighbors cats for a while until they moved, this involved feeding, changing water, loving on them, and changing their litter boxes, also cleaning the occasional puke. I currently am unemployed and looking for something to do with my time so I am very flexible and open. I am willing to make things work for you. Having a big dog and a small dog I am very comfortable around dogs and understand that these are your children. Also having experiences with cats lets me know how to treat them as well. Walking the dogs especially in the summer can be tough because of the heat so if I think it’s to hot I will not walk your dog, but would love to reschedule a different time.

“Alba is so wonderful! She instantly makes you feel at ease with leaving your precious pet in her hands. I have a feeling Reggie looks forward to seeing her again :) Alba made sure everything was set in place before my trip and communicated during it. I especially enjoyed getting pics of our pup while traveling.”


About: I have several years of pet-sitting experience and have cared for both cats and dogs—from energetic puppies to senior companions. My own cat is 17 years young! I treat every pet with patience, affection, and attention, just like family. I know how reassuring updates can be, so I always share regular photos and check-ins. You can count on me to care for your pet with love and reliability. Flexible work schedule, I can typically work around you! Weekdays and weekends available. Whether it’s a daily visit or an extended stay, I’m happy to adjust my routine to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their routines closely—feeding, walking, playing, and administering any needed medication according to their instructions. I’m respectful of the home and try to leave everything as I found it. I stay in regular contact with updates and photos so you know your pet is in good hands.

“Cassie is great! She is very sweet and my dog Babs loves her. She is always on time and makes sure to take a few cute photos of my pup. I would recommend Cassie to my friends and family.”


“I was nervous about leaving my pups after 2+ years of WFH post pandemic, and Wendy was beyond patient with my many messages and details about my angels. Will definitely use her again.”



“I couldn't ask for more! I hired Amanda for a combination of dog walks and drop-in visits while I was out of state for several days. My dog took to her very quickly and the texts with pictures gave me peace he was in good hands. Amanda went above and beyond caring for my dog and even put my robo can on the curb when she noticed all the neighbors had their trash out. She was very attentive in communicating if my dog was eating and what she did to make things better for him. I would definitely book Amanda again!”


About: I have taken care of everything from newborn kittens to helping train puppies to treating and epileptic Corgi because our family loved him and introduce me to giving animals medication. I usually have good luck with animals and don't get apprehensive around me . To put it simply I believe it's our duty to use our gifts as humans to make animals more uncomfortable and enjoy the world better. I am currently doung this while I look after my mom for an undeterminded amount. Ive enjoy every pup big or small to our home. I can administer medicine if I am shown once as I had a dog with medical issues but not a vet or certified in any medical training. We have a condo in manchester no nearby pools no traffic or crime plenty of room for walk and i have a 40ft leash out back.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was around 8 years old, since then I've continued to do the same and eventually when I came of proper age I moved to Norway for about a year and worked alongside one of the best trainers, caretaker, and musher in Norway: Harald Tunheim. I was responsible for training puppies into full grown dogs as well as training the already grown dogs. My responsibilities included training, feeding, exercising, grooming, medical care, and of course, play! I then had the great privilege to train under the best trainer in New Jersey: Paul Allocco with Beau's K9 Academy. I went through extensive training with Paul and learned the most effective training techniques and skills for dogs of all kinds. I strive to be the best as Paul taught me and always make sure that I train and help the dogs I receive into my care with the utmost respect and support. Dogs and dog training is my whole life! Unfortunately I dont have any pets of my own anymore but I love all kinds and always put in 100 percent with each one I meet. It's what I do best! I offer the utmost care and respect for all dogs and maintain a clean and safe environment. The well being of the dog is my priority

About: For as long as I can remember, animals have been my favorite and most loyal friend. I currently work as a veterinary assistant and I am about to go to school to become a licensed veterinary technician. Animals are my whole life! I work overnights at my veterinary hospital thursdays-Sundays. I will be available to care for your furry friends all day starting at 8am Monday until 12pm on Thursday’s. I am confident in my leash-walking skills and will love your fur-baby just as they are mine! I can follow instructions well and ensure your pet stays on their regular schedule if their loving parent must be away. I am confident in my ability to administer medications with instruction and consent from parents. I also know what to look for if I feel a pet is having a health crisis.

Rich F.
“Richie has been an animal lover since I've known him going back to school years. I'd watch him in the backyard bringing in birds that fell out of their nests and nursing them back to health. He had a Pembroke Welsh Corgi that had epilepsy and he helps his father give him his medicine and take him to the vet whenever requested when he wasn't playing frisbee with the cute Corey. And I remember he had one chat for many years that follows him everywhere and in her old age she got hit by it a car and he was depressed for years I can't think of anybody else that would truly put an animal before their own life but my dog used to come over and before he even knew Richie he would just sit right on his lap and he doesn't have a problem getting his hands dirty for the sake of making an animal happy or comfortable. To my recollection here also would take in garden snakes and baby mice not simultaneously. Everything from a cat dog to a gerbil. He's a skinny well exercised young man who'd be perfect for some who needs help with their pet.”


Kjell F.
“Kjell is so amazing with my 5 year old golden Oliver. Oliver used to be very jumpy and a bit too enthusiastic, but Kjell has really helped with some minor training in deescalating his reactions. Oliver absolutely loves him and Kjell is such a trustworthy and kind person, I can see why!”


Julia C.
“We couldn't be more pleased with Julia's care for our mini schnauzer, Doc. Her dedication and love for animals shine through in every interaction with him. Her experience working at an emergency vet clinic makes her knowledgeable in so many areas of pet care! We highly recommend Julia to anyone seeking a reliable, trustworthy and compassionate caregiver for their furry family members.”
