Nicholas walked my corgi, Santiago, while I was out of town for a couple of days. He went above and beyond and I would highly recommend him to walk/care for your pup. When Santiago met Nicholas he was immediately able to make a connection with him and I felt confident that he would be a good walker for Santiago. Santiago can be stubborn and Nicholas was patient and flexible with Santiago’s needs. Santiago can’t go up and down the stairs and Nicholas was really understanding and carried him up and down the stairs for his walks. Nicholas kept me up to date on Santiago’s walks and sent pictures which I really appreciated. I also just appreciated Nicholas enthusiasm and sense of humor when dealing with Santiago’s silliness during walks. I would highly recommend Nicholas to care for your pup.

About: I am a lifelong pet owner and animal lover with years of experience as pet sitter and dog walker. I prioritize putting pets and their people at ease with reliable, conscientious care. I love taking photos of your pet and will send you pictures and updates as often as you need, and please feel free to get in touch any time your beloved dog is with me as I know it’s difficult to leave them behind! I am home full time (children are away at college) so I can dedicate the entire day to care and love your pet. I only watch one dog at a time. I love walking dogs and there is a dog friendly (leashed only) park near by if your your pet enjoys lots of exercise! You can trust me to keep your pets safe, engaged and happy in my home. Your pet will have free range in my house which is dog friendly.

About: Family, friends call me Titi Sammy. Why?! I watch and take care of everyone’s kids! And you know it.. our dogs are our kids too :) A little more about me: I have a passion for helping stray and neglected dogs. I volunteer with many rescues in Puerto Rico. I do airport transport, coordinate with fosters (and foster), and love on pups that come to the states while they wait to meet their forever families :) Hoping to run my own rescue one day! I work remotely! I have a super flexible schedule. This makes it very easy to keep your pup’s at home routine. Frequent potty and play breaks too! I am not currently caring for pets in my home, but can take your pups out for walks, or let them out back. Feed and of course give them extra love :)

About: After having to rehome my sweet Morkie (Maltese-Yorkie mix) due to housing arrangements, I’ve made it my mission to love and care for every pet as if they were my own. Your furry friend’s comfort and happiness will always come first with me! I never tire of playtime and have plenty of energy to keep up with even the most playful pups—but I also adore snuggling with laid-back dogs who just want some company. Since I love being outdoors and staying active, I’d be more than happy to take your dog on long walks or fun outdoor adventures. And for the cat parents out there—I’m a huge cat lover and would be thrilled to care for your feline friends. 😊 I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to devote to your furry friends. My schedule is open and adaptable, so feel free to reach out with any inquiries—I’ll do my best to make it work! I live in a rental home without access to a backyard, but I’m just a short 10-minute walk from a park I know well and love visiting with pets. At home, I have two older, friendly cats who are very relaxed and comfortable around dogs. I’m happy to care for your pets in whatever way works best—whether that’s playing indoors at your home, enjoying some outdoor time around your neighborhood, or heading to the park for extra fun and exercise!

About: I've helped take care of my special needs dog for 15 years, including walking her, feeding her, giving her medication, and playing with her. I'm great with dogs of all ages and would love to help walk your furry friend! I currently work a 9-5 full-time job in social media and I'm able to walk (or run) your dog in the morning or evenings! I work from home on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays but depending on timing on Wednesdays and Thursdays I can help. I'm a big runner, so if your dog enjoys going on runs I'd love to run with them! I unfortunately am unable to dog sit and watch your dog in my own house, but I am able to take your dog for walks and/or runs when needed or do drop-in visits for dogs and/or cats.

About: Hi, I’m Tay! I provide reliable, attentive pet care with a gentle and patient approach, especially for shy, anxious, or rescue animals. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ve cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, ducks, and horses. I had a Lhasa Apso for 14 years who was truly my best friend, so I understand how deeply pets are loved and how important it is to treat them like family. I also currently care for three cats who came to me as strays. I spent over two years patiently earning their trust and helping nurse them back to health, which taught me a lot about reading behavior, building trust, and caring for animals with different needs. I have experience with: • Puppies and kittens • Senior pets • Sick or recovering animals • Oral medication administration I take a calm, patient, and structured approach to pet care. For shy or anxious pets: I never rush interaction I let them come to me I speak calmly and move gently For high-energy dogs: I provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation For all pets: I follow routines closely I pay attention to behavior changes I prioritize safety at all times I’m currently in grad school for social work and completing an internship, but I make it a priority to keep my schedule as flexible as possible. I’m able to adjust my availability around classes and other commitments, and I do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs and routine whenever possible. I care for every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. Whether I’m visiting your home or taking your pet on a walk, I take a calm, attentive approach and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. I provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. If anything seems out of the ordinary, I will always reach out to you first before taking action because I respect that you know your pet best.

Baxter loves being the center of attention and he certainly gets all the love and play time that allows. I am more than happy to get to know your pets and care for them as if they were my own! I am currently a contract working allowing me to have flexibility in my schedule. I usually have availability before 9am, a couple hours for lunch and after 7pm! I have experience with dog crates, harnesses, different collars and gates if those are options for your pup. I have dealt with soft and hard food as well as different supplements.

About: As a fellow dog owner myself I will take care of your pup like they’re my own! I have grown up around dogs and have had 4 in my lifetime. When I was around 10 I began taking on more responsibility and started to walk and feed my dogs daily. Additionally I helped at the Monroe dog shelter all through high school until its closing last year, a total of 7 years. During this time I have interacted with all breeds and sizes from teacup Shitzus to energetic Pitbulls. I have also learned techniques on how to deal with both timid or rambunctious dogs and make them feel comfortable with my presence. I have also babysat a number of years so I am experienced in house keeping as well. I am currently in graduate school with my own transportation and a flexible schedule.
