“Erin has been a pleasure to work with from our initial meet & greet & each day since. More importantly, my little guy took to her right away. Erin is communicative, caring & always on time. We lucked out with Erin.”
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 have been surrounded by all kinds of animals growing up: dogs, cats, bunnies, even reptiles so I absolutely love animals! I have experience with all kinds of dog breeds like pitbulls, english mastiffs, german shepards, and of course the smaller guys! I’ve always trained my own dogs. I have taken care of friends’ and family’s dogs since I was 14, but I have never been without a dog my whole life! I’m currently a college student studying nursing, so I have clinical until 3:00pm on Mondays and class until 12:00pm on Thursdays. Other than that I’m pretty available throughout the week and flexible on weekends, so I have plenty of time to care for your dogs! I currently live in dorms so I don’t offer boarding. But I would love to play with your dog inside/outside of your house for drop-in’s and walks!
“I needed a last-minute dog walker for Bella and Chanel and found Jessica, she responded quickly and was great with her! Bella and Chanel loved the walk, and I received updates and photos. Highly recommend for anyone in a pinch!”
“Highly recommend! She is incredibly caring, thorough, and communicative. I always appreciate the updates she provides about the timing and length of the walk, and pictures of the walk. It gives me peace of mind knowing my dog is in great hands and having such a great time. Reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what she does!”
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 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: Hi! I’m Lizzie, and I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I have experience caring for my own senior dog, as well as my family member’s dogs of different sizes. Over the past year, I’ve taken on more responsibility for my dog’s care, including regularly walking him and caring for him on my own while my family was away. Through caring for my own dog, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet. As a dog walker, I’m caring, responsible, and attentive, and I’ll make sure to follow each dog’s routine, while keeping their individual needs and personality in mind. I’d be excited to get to know your dog and make sure they feel safe and cared for on every walk! I currently have a flexible weekly schedule, so I have plenty of time to incorporate dog walking into my routine! I’m generally available for walks Wednesday through Sunday, with availability in both the morning and afternoon depending on the day. I’m happy to work with each owner to find a schedule that works best for them and their dog! When caring for a dog, I’ll make sure to follow any instructions provided by the owner and pay attention to their dog’s individual needs and routine. On walks, I’ll stay attentive to their behavior and surroundings throughout the walk. I will also make sure to treat each dog with patience and care, and make sure that they feel comfortable and safe with me.

About: I am based in Oyster Bay and am a retired teacher with six years of experience running my dog care business. I have had animals my entire life, ranging from a 3-pound teacup Chihuahua to a Great Dane, as well as cats, horses, and goats. This past summer, I rescued my sweet girl, Aruba...yes, we found her in Aruba :) She is wonderful with all of the dogs who stay with us. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and carefully maintain each pet’s established routine, including precise feeding schedules, medication administration, and appropriate daily exercise. When your dog stays with me, they immediately become part of our family. They are welcome throughout the home and may even sleep with us. During warmer months, I take the dogs to the beach for long, beautiful walks. I am available seven days a week and am always home. My two adult daughters, ages 24 and 22, also assist, ensuring your dog is never left alone. Services offered include daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and overnight care in your home when available. After all, doesn’t your dog deserve a vacation too? I am home majority of time except for the occasional errands etc. If I am not home I have 2 older daughters who help me keep the dogs company. My home is 100% smoke free! I have a fully fenced yard for the dogs to stay in so they can get some fresh air & play with their friends.
About: Hi! My name is Neil D. Wallace and I love dogs. Dogs make me happy. My favorite dogs are Blue Staffies and Pugs. I have most experience walking Doodles, Pitbulls, Huskies and Chihuahas. I also communicate everything, and promise an open book attitude with owners. All hours until i book my next show. This is just a side hustle when demand is low in the acting world, which will change, with my contribution. No matter what dog I take care of, there is always one thing in common. The owner is always right. Even if I think something might work better for the pups, the owner knows best; open communication is key.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
