“Brian did a great job checking in on Mochi when I had to work all day. He took him for a walk and made sure he went potty. Gave Mochi lots of treats and attention! Thanks again ?”
“This was my first time having Colene come to visit and walk my sweet girl and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She had excellent communication and showed my little Lula some love and attention while I had to be away for the day. Will be using again!!”
About: I’ve had a dog growing up my whole life, I’ve never been bit by a dog or have ever had a negative experience with a dog. I understand that while it is a major part of your family it is still an animal no matter what. I’m not going treat it like a fur baby cuddle toy. They will be loved and cared for. My word. Not working right now, would love to help out during the day and during the week. I am more than happy to accommodate certain times and dates for an agreed amount. My studio apartment is small, I live on a first floor apartment with only one set of stairs to the exit. Also an elevator to the base floor is available without requiring need for steps if necessary.
About: I have loved dogs ever since I was a child. For the past 8 years I have watched dogs for family and friends. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs and am comfortable working with young puppies. I am currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends! I'm available most weekdays for walks and pet care. I have a fenced in backyard and a small-medium 1 year old dog who loves to play. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
About: I absolutely love working with dogs! I have at least 9 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats! I volunteered in the cattery in Humane Society and walking dogs as well. I work remotely and can flex my schedule to spend time watching pets or walking your dog. I am very flexible and I can easily work with your scheduling. I have a backyard, but I prefer to walk dogs frequently and take them outside myself for fresh air and outdoor play. We have only 1 pet rabbit, and keep him separated when there is a furry house guest.
“Lizzie has been a great help walking our little cavapoo. She is very punctual, responsive, and caring. She left a detailed report from her walk with our dog along with some very cute pictures. We will definitely be using her in the future for all our dog walking needs.”
“Kevin walks our dog a three times a week. Clyde can be a challenging dog to walk (bulldog!). Kevin stays patient with him and sends positive reports & pics each time he’s with him. Kevin is great to work with! We feel lucky to have met him!”
About: From growing up in a house full of furry friends, I have always loved taking on the responsibilities, but i gain most of my experience from dog sitting for family friends and coworkers! The time i’m free the most to do drop in and take your furry friends on walks would be weekdays during late morning/ early afternoon!! I take the responsibility of your furry friends quite seriously and pay attention to details to make sure everything goes smoothly and all stay safe!
About: I've been surrounded by animals of all kinds since I was a child including family pets and walking/pet-sitting throughout high school for neighbors and family friends. In college, I worked in a veterinary clinic as an assistant to a DVM and gained a great deal of knowledge regarding medical care for dogs and cats. I spent a great deal of time training my family's German Shephard in PSA (protection sport) and general obedience. I currently work in the office most mornings during the week but am available after 1 p.m. most days for drop-in visits and walks full of attention and love. Make a suitable environment - providing your dog with a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. Provide adequate protection from hazards inside and outside of the home. Watching for abnormal behavioral patterns or changes that can indicate illness. And most importantly, supplying unconditional love.
About: I seem to be a magnet for anxious dogs and cats! Both my senior cat and adolescent dog have behavioral issues/anxiety, and while it has its challenges, I find bonding with these guys can be the most rewarding experience. Between slow, gentle movements, not rushing a bond, and having lots of treats on hand, I've learned that "difficult" personalities don't always have to be so hard. I work 8-5 on weekdays, with Mondays and Fridays being working-from-home days. I can easily incorporate lunch-time and evening visits into my schedule during the week with open availability on weekends. After adopting an anxious/reactive dog, my partner and I have invested countless hours into a training program that works for us. Through this experience, I've learned the power of positive reinforcement, consent for touch, and patience even when it's the most difficult to find it. I'm a huge believer in redirecting unwanted behavior rather than punishment of any kind. Love and respect is the driving force behind all of my interactions with animals!
“Kassidi takes excellent care of our little cavapoo. She arrived right on time and left the cutest pictures and report of her walk with our dog. Ivy will be very excited for her next walk with Kassidi!”
About: Your dogs will love it here! Family and friends relay on me to take care of their pets while they are away. I have experience with all types of dogs and personalities. I am currently a stay at home mom of 1, with a flexible schedule. In the home we have 1 dog named Jack. If special arrangements are needed please let me know. My apartment is on a low traffic street & has a large yard with plenty of room to run.I will provide toys, treats & blankets.
About: I currently have a kitty whom I love and adore and take care of by myself, as I live alone. In previous years I have fostered older cats who needed to be socialized. I also primarily took care of my family's dog, walking her three times a day and keeping her well fed and entertained. I have also had experience walking neighbors' dogs and watching friends' cats. I absolutely adore both cats and dogs and would love to spend time with yours! I'm currently working a first shift job, so I have plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to watch or walk your furry friends. I have a lot of experience with shy cats and dogs, so I'm great at making them more comfortable and ease their nerves as they are with a stranger. Safety is also a top priority, watching them and making sure they aren't eating or getting into something dangerous.
About: I have taken care of my own dog for 7 years now and previous cats for 5 so I have a lot of experience with my own pets and others pets through the years I work Tuesday - Thursday mornings until 4 pm and Friday and Saturday evenings 5 hour shift and am available outside of that timeframe to watch your pets. I can crate your dog if needed or put up baby gates for a specific area of the house the pet will be kept, I can do walks and potty breaks along with feeding and giving water or some play time in your yard
About: I have been watching animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a house full of cats and dogs, I've been involved with puppies/kittens to senior pets as well. I'm available to administer medication if needed. I've looked after animals for my neighbors, friends, family, and co-workers as well as those I have been recommended to from existing clientele. I currently work full time, but am remote on Fridays. I work from 8-5 PM everyday, with an hour break from 12-1 PM. I can work around my schedule and yours for your pets needs! Available on the weekends, all day, as well. I care for pets in my client's home the same way I would care for my own pets in my own home. I respect the space that I'm in while giving my undivided attention to the animals that need my care. I'm respectful of the home I'm staying in, always trying to make it cleaner than when I arrived (you'll never know I was there!). The pet's wellbeing is important and a top priority for me - I want to make sure the owner feels at ease when leaving their pet(s) and home with me.

Richard M.

Melissa S.
“I've known Melissa for many years, and in that time I've seen her interact with animals in ways that are always genuinely caring and loving. It's probably easy to write a testimonial for anyone and say "they love animals" but in Melissa's instance not only does she love animals but she truly sees each one as the beautifully unique individuals they are. Often I've seen an animal just gravitate toward her, and a warm connection is quickly established. Having cared for many animals in her life, including her own, Melissa holds the animal's health and general well-being as paramount, and sees it as a mission and responsibility to ensure they are safe and happy. I would not hesitate in allowing Melissa to provide services for any beloved pet!”

“Ashley has watched our reactive German Shepherd, Sam, many times and has done a wonderful job! She sends frequent updates and he’s always SO excited to see her whenever she comes to watch him. She’s the only person we trust with our sweet special boy.”

“Emily was fantastic! We have a 195lb mastiff who can be a handle to get in and out of vehicles. That didn’t stop Emily, she had him walking the boardwalk and to different parks around our home. He loved it! He was well taken care of and he trusted her so we will definitely use her again!”

Kinsey took great care of my puppy. She communicated well and provided high quality photos. She was on time and walked my puppy for the full amount. She took a few moments to greet my puppy to make sure he was comfortable with her before walking. Thank you Kinsey!
Sarah has been wonderful to work with. I was really impressed with her attention to detail when we first met, and she was friendly and kind, to me and my pup. My mother was visiting during my pups walks, and she even commented how much she liked Sarah. I’m excited to continue to book Sarah for dog walks and pet sitting! I was especially happy how much she enjoyed large dogs, with my Shepard mix pushing 90 lbs :)
Amazing!!! He genuinely cared about my dog’s well being & sent pics with constant communication. I had Binx stay at Whiskers resort & hired Joshua for daily walks which helped him tremendously, even whiskers said it helped my high energy, nervous boy. Thanx again for taking Binx to a beautiful park & not just a sidewalk AND for picking up that xtra day
