“We just got a new puppy and he is incredibly active. Jessica has been so amazing with Ernie and incredibly flexible with last minute walks. She sends pictures of our pup and even left a report card of his first walk which was adorable. Jessica is the best and we feel at ease when we are at work knowing Ernie is in good hands!”


“Emma is awesome! She's been super helpful and reliable on weekly walks with Layla. Even took her for a long walk on the beach when I was in a pinch and needed help last minute! Would definitely recommend Emma for any pup owner :)”


“Elisabeth has been walking our dog, Cricket, for approximately 6 months now. She has always been prompt, kind, conscious and consistent with Cricket. Beth developed a strong personal relationship with Cricket and Cricket loves her. We are only ending the service because Cricket is moving out of state to school with my daughter. I recommend Beth wholeheartedly and will miss her.”


About: I've grown up around animals and have been helping neighbors and family members care for their pets. My experience has made me dependable and loving in animal care. With my college schedule at Suffolk University, I'm available for pet care on Tuesday, Thursday, and weekends, offering flexible and reliable services for your pets! I prefer to care for pets at the client's home, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in their own space. As a friendly cat owner, I understand the importance of personalized, loving care.

About: I love dogs, just like everyone else here but boy do I LOVE THEM. I'll run with them, dance with em, if you need me to play scrabble with em, I'll do it. I just wanna make them happy and keep them safe, but don't worry I won't love them so much they'll never want to see you again. We'll keep it on first name basis, your dog and I, work friends, you know? I'm excited about dogs and I am flexible, strong, active and really good at petting!! Small dogs NICE, big dogs NICE!!! mediums dogs??? NICE!!! invisible dogs?? NICE!! I'll do it all, with a smile and gluten free dog treats in my pocket! You know gotta watch their weight, no table food.

“Libby took such good care of our girl! Our pup can be a bit lazy and Libby did a great job getting her motivated for her walk and followed our instructions perfect. Thank you Libby!! Will be rebooking”

“Jacquelyn was very nice and took my golden retriever for 2 really great walks!! She was on time and took her for the full 30 minutes which was perfect. I would definitely book her again!”


“Matt is absolutely great! He was very responsive and always on time. He always took great care of my dog Jane, and she looked forward to him coming by every day! I would 100% book with Matt again. Definitely recommend booking with him!”


“Lisa is simply the best. Me and my GSD moved from Illinois and we met Lisa through Rover. We were nervous in the beginning because this was the first time we were getting a dog walker. But Lisa treated my dog as her own. During her visits, she took my dog on walk, made sure there is water for her, sent lots of pictures everyday, played a lot with her. We have been repeating the schedule with Lisa for weeks now and we'll keep continuing in the future for sure. I'd definitely suggest to go with Lisa if you are looking for someone to take care of your dog. You won't need to find anyone else ever again.”


About: Hi, I’m Michael! Here is a little bit about me that hopefully will help you get to know me and trust me with the care of your pets. I have been taking care of animals for 13 years of my life. Those 13 years of experience include taking care of my own dogs, working at a doggy daycare, and also working in vet offices in my hometown, as well as working as a veterinary technician. I have dedicated a huge part of my life to caring for animals, so I understand what needs to be done to take care of them best! I am trustworthy, reliable, genuine, hardworking, and caring. Your pets and getting them the care that they deserves are my top priority. There is no job that is too big or small for me to do and I am here to meet you and your pet’s needs. I really hope this helped you to get to know me a little more and that it helps you feel comfortable with me watching and caring for your pets. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me. I am constantly taking care of pets, whether it's at my own 2 dogs at home, the pets of family members, or the pets of friends. I understand the need to have a set routine and general flow of care. I will be available to take care of your pets on the weekdays and the weekends when I am not at work. In your home, I will make your pets feel as at ease at they possibly can be. I am in their space and I want them to be able to get the same amount of care as usual.


“Diane was AWESOME! My dog loved her and he is pretty shy. She walked him twice a day for a week while he stayed with my mom while I honeymooned. My mom said she was super reliable and communicative. She provided updates and pictures, which was so reassuring. We will definitely work with her again next time we need pet services. 10/10 recommend 🤩 Thanks Diane!!!”


About: I’ve been a pet parent to my dog Stella for 5 years! I love being a dog parent and make sure to give her the best dog life. I also grew up with dogs during my childhood. I work from home and go on long walks with Stella 2-3x day. I’ve had Stella for 5 years so I’m used to working my schedule around her and being flexible. I have a big yard that I can let dogs out for potty breaks or some nice sun bathing! I also let Stella on our furniture and she would be happy to share her favorite spots on the couch.

About: Hello! I'm Annie, and I run a local premium pet care service with my partner Robbie. I've been professionally pet- and house-sitting since 2018, though animals have always been a part of my life. I have experience with dogs of all sizes (1–85 lbs), including senior pets, pets with special needs, and those requiring medication or specialized care. Whether it’s using a crate, leash, or harness—your pet’s safety is always my top priority. You’ll notice that your pet(s) warm up to me quickly—animals tend to sense my calm, nurturing presence and years of hands-on experience. I genuinely love what I do and feel honored every time I’m trusted with such an important member of your family. I send regular photo updates during my stay so you can always feel connected and reassured. Important Note (Please Read): Moving forward, I only work with families who are comfortable with my baby daughter joining me for all pet care services. My partner, Robbie, also joins me for all overnight stays. Because of this, it’s essential that any pets I care for are well-socialized and comfortable around children and new adults. If your pet(s) have any history of reactivity or discomfort around babies, children, or unfamiliar people, I kindly ask that we do not move forward with services—safety comes first for everyone involved. What to Expect: I typically start with a quick phone call to go over the basics. If it feels like a good fit, we then set up a meet-and-greet with your pet(s) to ensure compatibility and go over all important details (house rules, routines, medical needs, vet contacts, favorite activities, and more). These consultations usually last about 30 minutes. My goal is to make sure your pet(s) feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away—and that you feel peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Looking forward to meeting your furry family! I run an online business with a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care in a consistent and dependable way. I’m typically never away from the home for more than 4–5 hours at a time, and I always communicate clearly about my availability before booking. As a new mom, I will have my baby daughter with me during all pet care visits and house sitting stays. Because of this, I only work with pets who are well-socialized and comfortable around infants. When house sitting, I keep my schedule light so I can focus on your pet’s needs and provide a calm, loving environment. Pet care is not just a side gig—it’s something I love and integrate thoughtfully into my week. I work with dogs ranging from 1-85 pounds and have experience with senior pets, special needs pets, and giving medications. I am comfortable using a crate, leash, and harness for your pets safety. I ask that any specific rules in regards to safety be discussed during out meet and greet.

About: I run a music teaching business as well as am a commercial pilot and flight instructor. I grew up with dogs my whole life (all golden retrievers) and I do a lot of pet sitting on the side for student's families. One of my own students told me about this app, so I figured it would be an awesome tool to earn extra cash to offset the cost of living, while getting to spend time with my favorite four-legged friends :) During the stay I will be using your home as “home base” and will be in and out of your house periodically during the day to care for my other drop-ins/walking clients, but the majority of my time will be dedicated to your fur family. I prefer clients with fenced-in yards or invisible fences for everyone’s safety, and one daily walk is included with every booking! One a final note, I taught my dog to sing (I swear he can match pitch), so if that's something you're interested in as well we can chat :-P **Stays of one night are subject to a minimum charge of two days**

“I always feel good knowing I have Allie to take care of my dog “momma” when we go away.

Momma is like my daughter and wouldn’t trust her with just anyone. I highly recommend Allie and will continue to use her service.”

I would recommend her to absolutely anyone due to her caring and responsible attitude. She gives my dog her undivided attention to make sure all of her needs are met.”


Ashley Y.
“Ashley has done pet sitting for me and I am impressed at the interaction between her and my dogs as well as their positive response to her, especially with one that has a lot of difficulty with warming up to and obeying anyone outside of my family. I observed that Ashley has a genuine concern for my dogs and interest in their well being while walking them as well as during the general care taking of them while I am away. She also follows my guidelines on rules and maintains the discipline that I want for my dogs. Its great to be able to go away relaxed and with confidence that my dogs are in good hands, and to return home to dogs having very happy and healthy dispositions.”
