Matthew was a great dog walker. He was extremely helpful and fast in his responses. He walked my dog for the full hour, which is pretty impressive because my dog is extremely high energy. I would book him again!

I felt at ease having Caleigh walk our brand new baby, Leo. She was communicative and right on time which was important for us with an 8wk old puppy. Will be using again. Thank you!

Kathryn has been our dog walker for a few weeks and I am so happy with her! She is great with Jax, he looks forward to his weekly walks with her. She is very communicative, always on time, affectionate with him and it is clear that she has a true love for pets. She also includes detailed notes at the end of every walk with multiple pictures. I highly recommend her!

About: Been caring for dogs for 8 years now. Experienced with most breeds. Neighbors, friends and even family have asked me to care for their fur friends. Currently working from home so I have time in my schedule. I am very attentive and super loving to all animals I watch. It fits perfectly. I care for your fur friends as if they were my own or my own kiddos. I would follow your instructions. I talk with you and make sure what you want, & I’ll do. Need a walk? Need someone to go to your home a feed the pup. I got you.

About: I have had dogs of all sizes my whole life. I’m a reliable and compassionate person who truly loves animals and understands the importance of making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience in administering medication to dogs. I work closely with a local rescue, which has given me experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including shy or anxious pets. I am patient and attentive, and I treat every pet like family, making sure they receive plenty of love, exercise, and personalized care! I am an incoming medical student who plans to live locally. I do not currently work as I am getting ready to start school in July and spend my free time as an EMT on my town's ambulance corps, volunteering at an animal shelter, or at my local food pantry. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I want to create a calm, loving, and clean environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I closely follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, routines, and any special needs to make sure pets stay happy and comfortable while in my care. Through my experience working with a rescue, I’ve learned how to handle pets with different personalities and energy levels with patience and care.

About: I am a relative newbie to dog walking (have done so volunteering with rescue dogs) but have prior pet experience with hamsters. I am gentle, punctual, detail-oriented, and have a medical background. I will treat your pet with respect, will ensure safe practices, and will accommodate playtime if desired. I am also using this opportunity to help decide on getting a pet myself. I am available mid-day, afternoons, and evenings 7 days a week. I can be available at other times if and as needed. Happy to get started asap! I believe in being gentle but firm when the pet wants to do something different than the human. For dog walking I will possibly be in the client's home during pickup and drop-off only. I am respectful of the client's wishes during those times

About: I’m a college student with 4 years experience who loves dogs, enjoys spending time playing with them, and really likes meeting and caring for new dogs whenever I get the chance. I have experience caring for dogs and puppies through helping family members with their pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing loving, reliable care to keep pets safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for.” I follow a daily schedule to care for my cats, including feeding them in the morning and evening, cleaning litter boxes regularly, providing fresh water, and spending time playing and bonding with them throughout the day. I provide a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for pets by following their routine closely, ensuring their space is clean and secure, giving them fresh food and water, and offering gentle, attentive care and companionship.

About: I’ve always loved dogs, and started walking them about 6 years ago. Now I’ve mostly worked with senior pets, usually medium sized dogs. I’m always eager to learn more about any animal in my care, and will stay in touch with daily updates. I’m almost always available, and I have plenty of time to give your pet individualized care and attention. If you need me, I’m there for your pet! I prefer to schedule a meeting to meet you and your pet before sitting for them. That way I’m familiar to them, and I can hear directly from you about any special needs, medications, habits, and things to look out for.

Maia’s soooooo great and helpful! She showed up on time and is great with our puppy! He could be shy but warmed up to Maia very quickly - he couldn’t wait to see her again. Maia also took pictures and was responsive and detailed about the puppy - already planning to book again in the future. Definitely recommend!

About: I currently have a very lovable, chill senior dog whom I've had for 10 years, and have also had a cat before that. My friends call me a "dog whisperer" because I have a knack for training and understanding dogs. I've watched countless dogs in the past decade, and am the go-to dog sitter for all my friend's pups. I figured I may as well do this professionally, since I love it so much. I treat dogs just as humans, with their own unique needs and personalities. Whether it's more walks, dedicated playtime, or quiet time alone, I'm happy to manage the specific needs of your pet(s). I understand that not all pets want to be social or friendly. I can attend to specific needs like medication or agility/aggression training, having managed these issues with multiple dogs in the past. I have a flexible schedule, so I can give the necessary time needed to your pet, including, but not limited to lots of cuddles, treats, and of course, 3-4 walks/adventures every day. On weekends we can go on bigger adventures like city/nature hikes or brewery hangs based on the unique temperament of your pet. I live in a spacious townhouse on a quiet dead-end street with minimal car and foot traffic. I am meticulously clean and organized, and would treat your home the same way I treat mine. There is plenty of space for your pet to hang out in my house. I'm happy to cater to any specific needs too, such as medication, crating, or managing aggression with other dogs or humans.
