About: Hello! My name is Anna, I am from Ukraine and I truly love animals with all my heart. I’ve spent my whole life around pets - dogs, cats, birds, and caring for them brings me joy and peace. I’m gentle, kind, and always patient, especially with nervous or shy pets. I understand that every animal has their own personality, and I do my best to respect that while also making them feel safe and loved. I’m very responsible, and when your pet is with me, I’ll treat them like my own with lots of cuddles, attention, and care. I’m also very respectful of routines and special instructions. Whether it’s a fun walk outside or quiet time at home, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and relaxed. I would be honored to care for your furry (or feathered!) family member. 🐾 I have over 15 years of experience caring for animals. I grew up around pets and have always felt a deep connection to them. Whether it’s walking energetic dogs, comforting shy cats, or looking after birds, I love making every animal feel safe, loved, and happy. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I’m always happy to make it part of my daily and weekly routine. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon visits, or overnight stays, I plan my schedule around the pets I care for to make sure they get the attention and time they need. I’m responsible and very organized, which helps me stay consistent with feeding times, walks, medications, and play. I also love spending quiet time with animals, just being present with them. Whether it’s a busy day or a calm one, pet care is something that brings me joy and peace - it never feels like a chore. 🐶🐱 When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space free of hazards and stress. I follow all instructions carefully, especially with food, medications, and routines because I know how important consistency is for animals. I’m very gentle and respectful with pets, especially if they are shy, elderly, or need time to adjust. I never force anything - my goal is for your pet to feel safe and loved. I also pay attention to their body language and needs, whether they want playtime or just quiet company. Building trust is important to me, both with pets and their humans. I always communicate clearly, send updates, and treat every pet like they are part of my own family. 🐾
About: I've had the opportunity to work/volunteer at a dog kennel for 7 years. I've taken care of small puppies, big dogs, and everything in between. If you need a dog walker, house sitter, or just a play mate...I got you! I've also have two little puppies back home (Milo and Kiba)! I work fully remote, so I can stay over or swing by if needed! My time is fairly flexible, but would like a days notice of possible. Can make this a frequent routine! I unfortunately cannot provide housing as I live in an apartment complex at does not allow it. However I'm free to come over and visit if provided!
About: I have a 9 year old Shih Tzu, her name is Zola. She loves people and other animals. I am currently home more then expected and would love to help other working people with their pets. If your pet needs a certain food or specific routine, let me know and I am happy to help maintain the normal. When I first got my dog, it was so hard to leave her during the day when I went to work. She was so small, and I didn't want her to be lonely. I understand how hard it is to leave a fur child and want to help others be comfortable knowing they are being looked after during the day or overnight. I will love them like my own. I am currently working from home and have ability to 'schedule' accordingly to cover dog needs - walking or playing and to schedule time as needed to walk near by dogs as well. I do not have a fenced yard. I walk with a leash. I can 'fence' in a small area for free time in the yard. I also can let dogs out on the deck and use 'gates' to block stairs. I care for all pets the same as I do my own. I work remote and have a flexible schedule allowing me to play with and walk your pups at various times. And a lot of time for snuggles and petting I have a good size deck with fenced entrances for general relaxation outside. My yard is not fully fenced but a good size for small dog play
About: My family had up to four dogs at once while I was growing up, and I currently have an 8-year old Mountain Cur I adopted at 9 months old. I'm available most weekdays for walks or drop-ins before work or at lunch time. Other times may be available depending on the day. My schedule is pretty flexible with enough notice. I cater service to each individual pup's needs. Some dogs just need a way to let out energy in the middle of the day and others need someone to bond with while their owner is away at work. I am available for walks or in-home visits customized based on the dog's needs.
“She walked our dog, Louie. She was very friendly and confident with how to handle dogs - pleasant affect without getting our dog over excited, which most people do. I would easily recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a dog walker!”
“Calvin has taken my very energetic 5 month old puppy for a few half hour walks while my husband and I are at work. Calvin always makes sure to update us and send cute pics of their walk!”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—learning their routines, reading their body language, and giving them personalized attention and care. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always keep pet parents updated with photos and notes, so they feel confident and connected while they’re away. Whether it's high-energy walks, special needs, or just lots of cuddle time, I adapt to each pet's unique personality and needs. I’m currently working part time for the summer because I work in an Elementary school! Since I have a flexible schedule, I’m able to spend quality time with each pet, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for throughout the day! I can build my schedule around the needs of your pets, wether it’s morning feedings, midday walks, playtime, or evening check-in’s! I will always make sure your dog is safe, and not in any risk of getting out. I will strictly follow clients rules for the dogs to ensure their safety.
About: Growing up, my family rescued dogs who experienced behavioral problems. I believe that any dog deserves love and proper care by a trusted individual. I am capable of providing meals, going on walks, playing, bath time and brushing, or just hanging out as company for the pups. I work part-time currently and would LOVE to spend the rest of my free time helping out the pets and their families in the area. I’m free Wednesdays and Fridays from noon to 9pm, Thursdays 10am-2pm, and Saturdays from 3-10pm. I don’t do any house-sitting in my own home. I can provide transportation to dog parks or to the pet store, wherever you need! I can assist senior dogs with physical impairments and provide comfort for anxious dogs as well. I value understanding the wants and needs for the family and their dog, putting your needs first in your home. I am very active and prioritize your pups fitness so active playing and taking walks are vital. I also would let the dog go outside either leashed or unleashed depending on if there’s a fence or not. Any other questions, feel free to contact me:)
About: I’m a trilingual (English, Portuguese, Spanish) professional pet-sitter. I currently have one dog of my own, and watch pets for family, friends, and clients. An animal lover you can trust with your special fur baby. I’m available for pet sitting anytime Monday and Tuesday. I’m available Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday anytime until 2pm. I’m not available on weekends (Saturday & Sunday) I live in a basement level apartment in Watertown a park at the end of the road and multiple off-leash dog parks in walking distance if your pet is registered. I have a 9-month old neutered male Cavapoo who loves making new friends, he’s about 20lbs.
