Julie has been amazing with my dog, Cooper. She’s been doing his mid-day walks and has been incredibly reliable and flexible, which I’ve really appreciated. She’s been easy to communicate with and very accommodating with my schedule. Honestly, I’d keep working with her without hesitation if I weren’t moving. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to take care of their dog.

About: With years of hands-on experience interacting with dogs of all breeds and temperament, I’ve developed a deep understanding and genuine passion for canine care. From working closely with shelter dogs to supervising group play sessions of up to 60 dogs, I’ve learned to manage pet dynamics with patience, awareness and confidence. My background is supported by numerous courses in canine safety, behavior, communication and proper interaction techniques. I’m also trained in administering medications and handling special care needs, ensuring every dog - whether in a home or social setting - receives the attention, respect and care they deserve. I currently work at a dog care facility part time. My schedule varies by day but I remain committed to accommodating my clients whenever possible. When I take care of dogs in a client’s home, I try to make things as easy and stress-free as possible for both the dog and the owner. I stick to the dog’s usual routine- feeding, walks, playtime, and any meds they might need- so they feel comfortable and at home. I also send updates and photos to reassure my clients’ that their pets are happy and doing well.

About: I have been doing drop in visits and dog walking for 10 years. My housekeeping clients have relied on me to walk their dog while cleaning their home. They have also used me to walk their dog and drop in to feed and potty while away or if work is running late. I am training to be a dog trainer and have skills in this department with basic manners. As of this moment I am looking to make dog walking and animal care my full time job. I am available Sunday, Monday - Friday from as early as 7am until as late as 7pm. Saturday early morning, 7am-9am & early evening 5pm-7pm As your dog walker & drop in visit go to, I will provide love and care for your baby while you are out of the home or super busy on work calls. I treat EVERY animal as if he/she were my own while in my care. Their safety and happiness is of the utmost importance to me.

About: I try to take parts of Cesar Milan's strategy with dogs specifically. Trying to not reward bad behavior. Making sure a pet can respect my boundaries. I work flexible hours as an independent contractor so I make my own schedule. I am building my pet care business so I am signing up for a drone pilots license for pet recovery. I am also working on upgrading my vehicle to a minivan. I am offering pet sitting in your home until that can change to my home. I am needing different things done to my home before I can bring pets to my house.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs both personally and for others. I recently watched my neighbors’ dogs for an entire weekend, where I was responsible for feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they felt safe and comfortable while their owners were away. I also have two dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and individualized care. I treat every pet like family and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and attentive pet care. I have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which means I’m available most other days for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I will also be participating in the spring field hockey season at Springfield College, but I’m very organized with my time and plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive consistent care, attention, and exercise. At home, I care for my two dogs daily and am very hands-on with their routine. I make sure they are fed on a consistent schedule, get plenty of exercise through walks and playtime, and always have fresh water and a clean, comfortable space.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 3 years old and grew up with both dogs and cats in the home. I currently have a rescue dog that I’ve had for 10 years, and helping him work through separation anxiety, shyness, and reactivity has taught me so much about patience, consistency, body language, and building trust with animals. Through working with a professional dog behaviorist, I’ve also learned techniques for building confidence, reinforcing commands, improving leash behavior, and helping dogs feel more comfortable and engaged. While I’m not a trainer, I’m happy to consistently reinforce routines, commands, enrichment activities, and calm leash practices that owners already use with their pets. I’m very attentive to pets’ cues, comfort levels, and safety, and I understand that every animal has a different personality and needs a different approach. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets over the years because I genuinely care about making animals feel safe, comfortable, loved, and understood. I also enjoy keeping dogs mentally and physically engaged through walks, playtime, sniff mats, enrichment activities, and practicing basic commands when appropriate. My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to provide pets with lots of attention, exercise, potty breaks, enrichment, and companionship throughout the day. I’m primarily focused on walks, drop-ins, daycare, and daytime pet care, and I truly enjoy helping pets feel comfortable, engaged, and safe while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has different energy levels and needs, and I’m happy to accommodate routines involving walks, playtime, sniff mats, feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and basic commands when appropriate. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I pay very close attention to body language, stress cues, energy levels, and overall behavior to help pets feel safe and comfortable in my care. I currently have two potty-trained dogs in the home who are friendly with other dogs. Pets receive lots of supervision, affection, exercise, and engagement throughout the day. I also understand the importance of slow introductions, maintaining routines, and creating a calm environment, especially for shy or anxious pets

Carly was very personable and punctual. It was the first experience with a walker for my dog Max, so he was a bit difficult but Carly was very patient and worked to bond with Max. I appreciate the service Carly provided and if I again have a need for a walker I will contact Carly.
