“Julie has been very professional and kind and very quick to respond to messages, which I greatly appreciate. I know Cooper's in good hands getting a walk while I'm at work.”

About: Many years experience of potty and crate training puppies. I have raised a St. Bernard, Husky, 2 Pomeranians, and currently have a BichaPoo. I even was able to assist my Pom Coco when she gave birth to her son. It was a beautiful moment. My schedule is very flexible and most days I work from home. Plenty of time to spend with your pet. If I do have to go into the office I will be gone no longer than 5 hours. In the evenings my husband and 4 kids (ages 15,12,7 & 7) are home as well. I have a fenced backyard and a lovable BishaPoo to play with your fur baby. Pets in our home are free to roam around our home. They are one of the family.
“Karlena is great, I can tell because the dogs went crazy when they saw her. Karlena is prompt and communicates well. I just moved here, and she is making the dogs feel super comfortable during the day when I'm at work and that is a huge weight off of my shoulder. She is a sweet young lady and I'm glad she wanted to walk Hanry & Jazzy. Thank you Karlena. :)”

About: Hello! I've been an avid dog lover since I can remember. I have taken care of family and friends pups when they are away. My passion and the companions of a dog has made me want to own a dog of my own. I have my own pup of two years now and know how important it is to leave them with someone who will take great care of them, be safe and of course loved. I work remote Mon-Fri so trust me when I say I have plenty of time to play and walk your pup. They will be in great hands and company! During the weekends, I love taking my pup to an open yet dog secluded park to run, play, and train. I do have long leashes for safety, but if you are not comfortable with it- no worries at all, just please let me know. I'm also available most weekends for boarding per request. I have a pup of my own for your pups company as well! In my home I have a crate and can help with training if requested. The pups are free to roam around the apartment/furniture, and I take out to walk every two hours or so. Your pups will be in good hands, but I do request if your pup has a scheduled routine or specific needs/behaviors to please let me know so I can adjust to their needs and behaviors.

About: Hello! My name is Nayra! I used to volunteer at the local ASPCA in my hometown of Meriden, Connecticut! Recently moved here and want to make connections with more pets! I’ve always loved animals ever since a young age, my goal is to make sure animals in need of care or help is taken care of. Throughout my life I have always been attached to dogs and tried my best to help as many as I could. I’m a owner of a German Shepherd and a poodle that suffers from many complications, I miss them very much and I look forward to meeting other dogs. And I also look forward to making connections with new dogs, learning their personalities, and giving them the care/attention that they need! Dogs are just like people. They’re all different and require different types of care.
“Michael has been amazing with Tucker since he has started with us! Tucker is happy when he arrives & it's very obvious they have formed a great connection. Michael has also been assisting with our ongoing training for Tucker on his walks & is always making sure Tucker is safe. We really lucked out when we found Michael & are all very happy with his services & work ethic. Would highly recommend to anybody in search of dog-walking & pet care needs.”

“I found Michelle at the last minute and she responded within 10 minutes. She was able to accommodate a meet and greet and 2 dog walks for my little guys all in 3 days. She did great walking them and paying them lots of attention. Thanks Michelle!!!!!”

About: hi! I am new to pet care, I have taken care of children my whole life! I am Looking forward to gaining experience and knowledge! I am a college student first so I tend to only sit during the weekends, or after class on weekdays if necessary. I’m slightly flexible though! Feel free to reach out :) In your home, I do my best to keep everything just the way your pet (and you!) like it. I follow your routines, stick to their feeding and potty schedules, and give lots of love and attention so they feel totally at ease while you’re away. I’m tidy, respectful, and treat your space like it’s my own. In my home, your pet will be treated like royalty—with a comfy place to nap, toys to play with, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I only take in pets I know I can fully care for, so your furry friend always gets the time and love they deserve. Whether I’m visiting them or hosting them, I make sure every pet feels safe, special, and very, very loved.
About: I started my career as an animal rescuer and dog trainer, I am very personable when it comes to taking care of animals. I have taken care of range of animals, from newborns to full grown, from past 15 years. There’s nothing more rewarding than their love. I also prepare home-made organic food and treats for dogs and cats which are loved by them and appreciated by their parents. I have an expertise with animal behavior and nutrition as well. I like to give dogs a pee break every 3-4 hours. Walking, feeding, exercise and lot of cuddles will be given all throughout the day as needed. Treats will be given with permission to the parents. Please feel free to ask for anything that’s not mentioned. (shower and grooming can be provided at extra cost) When boarding dogs at my home they will have space to roam around in the house (wooden floor) and I can take them for long/short walks as needed/recommended. I always walk dogs on leash and the duration of walk will be set by the pet parents. I love spoiling my fur guests with toys (with permission). When boarding your pet overnight, I encourage sending them with a blanket with your scent as it makes the separation easy on your fur babies.

About: I’ve grown up around puppies and cats and have been caring for pets from a young age, which has given me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and basic care. I also currently work with puppies as part of my job, where I care for them daily and make sure they’re healthy, safe, and happy. Being around both dogs and cats every day has helped me understand their needs, personalities, and routines, and I truly love caring for animals. Pet care fits easily into my daily schedule. I’m used to caring for animals every day and am able to plan my routine around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I’m flexible, reliable, and make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they need. I care for pets by sticking closely to their usual routines to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding, walks or litter box care, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I always make sure pets are safe, well-supervised, and in a clean environment, whether I’m caring for them in my home or in a client’s home. I also keep owners updated and make sure their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.
About: I have been responsible for dogs of all types for over a decade. From occasional afternoon walks to extended house-sitting and dog watching, I have experience providing companionship and playful exercise to dogs. If your dogs have special needs or specific routines, like medication or feedings, I have experience with that too! Whatever your fur-baby needs, I can do it. Currently I'm working part time, so I have plenty of time to walk and or visit your loveable pets! During the work week, I'm available 9:30am to 2:00pm and then available any time after 6:00pm; Except for Tuesdays, my mid-day availability starts at 11:30. On weekends, I am wide open all day! Every animal deserves love and respect. From energetic puppies needing a playmate to senior dogs enjoying a stroll, I am able to adjust to their personalities and meet the dog at their needs. I will always be vigilant and engaged, making sure they are safe and having fun while you are away!
