“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!”
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.
“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: 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.
“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”
“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 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 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!
“Sweetest human! Allison is SO reliable and helpful. She will love your doggie no matter how big and slobbery! Thank you Allison for coming to our rescue and lending a hand with such short notice!!! Looking forward to using you again for our doggie care <3”
“I can’t say enough about how amazing Chelsey was with Marty! She took him to the dog park and took such cute photos.. also she didn’t hesitate to take him for a walk on a rainy day ! Even put his raincoat on ! Marty loves Chelsey !! Thank you 😊”
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!
“Priscilla was very professional & kind to my dog. We had a meet & greet prior to his walking. She communicated with me on each walk. I will definitely ask Priscilla to take care of my dog again & recommend for your pet too. Thank you Priscilla.”
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

“Wendy is a responsible and reliable pet sitter truly cares for the animals and their wellbeing…caring for them like they are her own. Over the years she has watched my Rottie, my Chi/Fox terriers and my Pit and they have all been extremely excited to see her and shower her with kisses upon arrival. She was able to administer meds for my Rottie and walk both my small and large dogs without any issues. Highly recommend!”

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!”

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”
