About: I've had pets all my life ranging from fish, hamsters, frogs, cats and dogs. They have all taught me appreciation towards companionship and the joys of being a pet owner. I have around 5 years of experience pet sitting for family and friends. I am also an Eagle Scout who loves the outdoors, so taking your dog(s) for a walk or to the park would be my pleasure. I'm currently working part time in the morning of weekdays. I am free to take care of your pets after 12 pm and anytime during the weekends. At home, I take care of my cat Pepe where i attentively pet him when he shows affection. I feed him 3 times a day and clean his litter box everyday. For when i watch your pet, I will love and care for it as if were my own. I have experience caring for and walking dogs in the past 5 years for family, friends and past roomates.

“Rebecca is a wonderful dog walker! She’s friendly, sweet and keeps us updated with messages and photos. Most of all, our dogs warmed up to her right away and it’s so reassuring to know that the dogs are in good hands when we are away at work.”


“Vivian was great from the meet and greet to the walk! She is clearly very experienced and loves all of the animals she cares for! She went the extra mile and made sure the dogs were hydrated and the water was refilled, sent an adorable report card and updated me during the walk. She also took plenty of pictures! I know with her our dogs are safe and well taken care of! Can’t wait for our next walk/ visit! Can’t recommend her enough!”


“Sherry was exactly what we needed in a walker. During our meet and greet, she gathered as much information as possible and asked all the right questions, not only about our dog, but also about our preferences as an owner. She wasn't familiar with our breed and already researched their temperament beforehand. She even carries a bell to scare away the many deer in our neighborhood. It's this mindset that makes a difference. She adheres to teaching our dog all the good habits we would try to instill in him. Her experience with dogs shine through as she is firm when discipline is needed, but also loving. She has been helping us to work on his pulling. Our dog can hardly contain his excitement when she comes by. Above all, Sherry is respectful and a delight to work with; I highly recommend her.”


About: I have been a dog owner for the past 14 years of my life, taking care of 4 dogs in total throughout. Two were Beagles and the others are a Maltese and a Pomeranian.

Leah C.
“Leah was a great pet sitter. I often times would leave for work and needed someone to support my then puppies, Spock and Honey. From the time they needed to be bottle fed and potty trained she was there for my babies! Even though they had a lot of energy and required plenty of attention, she made sure to remain patient and kind with them. They even developed a close relationship with Leah, as every time it was time for them to depart they would start to whine. Lastly, she followed the directions I laid out for honey to a T, when it came to her getting her first period. Leah truly took a weight off of my back by helping my babies when I couldn't. I know she will be able to provide the same stellar service to your family as well!”

“Maggie grew up with pets. She has been around dogs since she was two years old and has enthusiastically played and cared for them. She has a terrific ability to assess their temperament and understand when they are scared, angry or just need affection. In addition to currently caring for her own two dogs, including feeding, playing, and walking them, she has cared for neighbor’s dogs and cats. She is very responsible and stays in contact with the pet owner to let them know the status of their pet.”
