Marie and her husband were wonderful! Great communication throughout. My dog is 84 pounds and young so he does pull on walks at the beginning. They handled him amazingly. Got him some exercise when I cant right now. Even recharged his night light. I would absolutely book Marie again

About: I have been volunteering with animal rescues since I was in high school along with dogwalking in my hometown. I have spent the past three years in college volunteering with the local animal shelter walking their dogs to relieve them of time in the shelter. On these walks I take the time to work on basic skills and socialization. I am completing my MBA this summer, and would love to help you out with any of your pet care needs! I am finishing up my MBA at Bryant University leaving me with an open availability days outside of my classes which are Mondays and Wednesdays. I have previously handled multiple different dogs in different situations. I always aim to make the animal feel the most comfortable in every situation. I plan to care for your pets on your own terms whether that be in your own backyard or on walks near your house.

About: Since 2016, I’d eagerly come home each day looking forward to taking my dog, Teddy, on long walks outside. That passion led me to create my own dog treat business, driven by my desire to share that love and care with other dogs. It is so rewarding knowing I can contribute to the happiness and health of dogs one walk at a time. I am currently very free during the hot summer months while taking care of my dog, Teddy. I have a lot of extra free time for any last minute walks! My home is a very calm environment with no kids and one other dog. There is a lot of space outside and many friendly dogs in the neighborhood. I am very attentive to whatever it is the dog may need, (walks, play-time, or love!) as well as being educated on dog behavior.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and have always been surrounded by them, as many of my family members have dogs as well. Over the years, I have gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of different personalities and needs. I have looked after multiple family members’ pets, watched my neighbors’ dogs, and provided dog-sitting care before. I am very comfortable with feeding, walking, giving attention, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for pet care throughout my day. I also really miss my dog at home, so spending time with dogs here would be something I genuinely enjoy. I already go on daily walks, and caring for pets would fit naturally into my routine. Even with my classes, I would have plenty of time to give pets the attention, care, and exercise they need. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness would always be my top priorities. I am responsible, attentive, and caring, and I would work hard to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels secure and well cared for. I will always treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same love I would want for my own pet.

About: I’ve always had a place in my heart for animals! I have been volunteering at shelters for over 3 years, as well as recent experience as a vet assistant! I’m not just here to feed and walk, I build trust with your pet! I take the time to approach each animal with patience, and adapt to their comfort and energy level. Whether it’s a high energy puppy or a timid cat, I tune in and make sure their needs are met! I am currently working as a vet assistant so my hours can be a bit limited! From M-Th I work 7:30-6 pm but am available for check ins after work! Trust is everything! To build a trusting relationship I’m communicative, reliable, and happy to provide updates and photos during each visit so you can feel connected and confident while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick drop in or a longer stay, I am always tidy, respectful, and focused on creating a calm, happy environment for your pet!

About: I’ve had a dog of my own for a while and also have taken care of my neighbors pets for long periods of time! From walks, baths, feeding and playtime, I’m experienced in taking care and having fun with dogs of all ages. My dog in particular was a senior and she dealt with arthritis and liver disease, which would limit her ability to do certain things like long walks and going upstairs, or even eating. I do have the experience of taking care of senior dogs that may need this special treatment. I also walked King (pictured) as a volunteer for PAWS NY. This organization has volunteers who walk and/or take care of pets for those who are unable to do so themselves. My job is remote, so I can work from anywhere. My hours are also very flexible, so I am able to work around your schedule! I am also available anytime on the weekends! My area is safe and very pet friendly. The neighborhood is very residential, and there are a few parks nearby. There is also plenty of accessibility and perfect for pets!

About: I have watched pets since I was 11 years old. I have taken care of my own dogs at home. Along with watching my family members dogs. They have relied on me to watch their dogs along with, feeding, walking, and batheing them. I would watch the dogs for days, months, and even weeks. They would bring them to my home to watch or I would go to theirs. I'm currently working part time as a cashier, they have cut hours quite a bit since winter started. I pretty much only work weekends and Mondays. But I am thinking about leaving and just doing dog walking and sitting at this point. I am in college 3 days a week, I put most of my time into that. My free time as of right now is Wednesdays, and sometimes Mondays. But I will still have plenty of time to care for your pets! If you need me more days I will happily drop my job and pick up weekends to care for your pets! As for pets in my home, my family and I agreed it's not a good idea to watch pets in our home. Only because my pets are weird around other pets.

About: *I work full time, regular business hours, but my hours can be flexible. Unless close by, I would not be able to do day time drop-ins. I am definitely able to care for your pets that can handle a normal work day.* I have been a volunteer at an animal shelter for over three years. I have experience with many different kinds of dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I love exercise and am more than willing to take your dog on a nice, long walk or run. I want you to feel comfortable with the person taking care of your dog so I encourage an open line of professional communication. I follow instructions very well if your dog has specific needs. I will be sure to give your dog the attention and love that it deserves and needs while you are away! I also hope to gain some familiarity with you and your dog so you will ask for me to help you out again in the future!

Chelsea was great - she came the day before I scheduled a dog walking for the first time to meet my two dogs and was so friendly and engaged with the dogs. She took them for a nice long walk the next day and I'll be sure to use her again!

About: I have taken care of pets since childhood whether it was cats, dogs, fish, or hamsters I’ve loved being around them! In middle school I would walk the neighborhood dogs after school and in my freshman year of high school I got my very own puppy! I potty trained him, taught him to walk off leash, and taught him many fun tricks. Now that I’m in college I have lots of free time that I would love to use to help care for animals, whether it’s taking them for walks, playing with them in the home, or even having them be my study partner! Depending on the client I would take care of their four legged friend following the rules that they supply to me. For my own pets I like to gentle parent and just love them no matter how they act.
