About: I’ve lived with pets my whole life. I’m a biology major pursuing animal science and conservation. I love everything about them and I will be volunteering at the animal shelter this summer! I have experience taking care of old dogs, and hyper ones, from helping out my family and friends over the years. I work on campus, so with my semester ending, I am completely free this summer to focus on caring for these pets! Weekends can be busy but I will account for that in my availability. This isn’t just an opportunity to make money, it’s a way to help and give back to my community. I will care for pets in the clients home by offering play to have fun and be ready to sleep at bedtime! I will also care for them by respecting their space and boundaries when needed. If they are in need of a friend, I am there.
“Jessie is sooo patient with my energetic Pittie. They really love each other which makes me feel more comfortable. She is flexible and available, often at the last minute. Highly recommend.”
About: I am looking to add light to my life in spite of current events by helping others in my community and bonding with your fur babies! I'm free in the eavnings most days and fully available Mondays and Tuesdays. Schedules may be accommodated if reached out to 2 weeks in advance. I live with my mom and uncle who love dogs and we all guarantee to provide the highest quality of care. I have two cats who enjoy the outside in our yard and have come with us on fun adventures like camping trips. So they are very open to change.
About: I’ve raised and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, and my love for animals is a big part of who I am. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re safe, loved, and well cared for. As a pet lover, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a strong sense of responsibility to every visit. I’ll take time to learn your pet’s personality, follow their familiar routines, and give them the attention they need—whether that means a playful walk or quiet companionship. With regular photos and updates, my goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is a passion for me, and I’m excited to make it a regular part of my week. I’m available seven days a week, with visits and walks scheduled around my other commitments. Whether you need consistent weekly support or occasional help, I’ll work with you to find times that fit your pet’s routine and give them the care and attention they deserve. Having raised dogs and cats my entire life, I understand how important familiar routines, patience, and careful attention are to helping pets feel safe. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, and playtime, taking time to build trust and notice any changes in your pet’s behavior or comfort. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine—keeping pet areas clean, securing doors and gates, and following your household preferences. I’ll handle keys and access information carefully and send regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet and home are in caring hands.
“I was so relieved to have Lauren take care of our dog Chase all week ! She sent us pictures from every visit and let us know how he was doing. It was so nice to be able to feel like he was being loved while we were gone. Will definitely use her again !!”

About: I have had dogs, cats, puppies in my life since I was born. I have had the pleasure of training all types of dogs in many different areas. When I was younger my family used to always take trips up to Marthas Vineyard, we always had to leave our dogs at a kennel which we realized later on was not the best thing to do for our dogs. Emotionally/mentally we could tell it had taken a toll on them, so we started leaving them home with Pet Sitters. That was the best decision we had made. I want to be able to provide the same love and care that our pet sitters have provided in the past, but for your pet! Im currently working privately as a Personal Trainer and a Hypnotherapist Practitioner so my schedule is quite flexible. I also offer Reiki for both people and pets (Dogs, Cats, Horses)!!! I don’t typically board pets but would be willing to work with someone if the situation was right. I am also willing and able to crate your pet if thats something you do in your home!
“Gabbi has been amazing with our super anxious dog. She has been so calm and patient with her and has worked hard to gain her trust. Our dog has opened up to her. As a person she is also kind, flexible and caring. Highly recommend”

I have about 6 years of experience caring for pets, including dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I understand that every pet is different. Some pets need lots of activity and attention, while others need patience, gentleness, and time to warm up. I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I take that responsibility seriously. I currently work from home and also attend school online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend more quality time with pets.

“We are so grateful to have found Joseph. Our mini poodle is quite skittish around people other than family, and Joseph showed great patience and understanding with her, allowing her to get comfortable on her own timeline. Now when he arrives, our dog is thrilled to see him and comes home from walks happy and relaxed. We also appreciate Joseph's dependability and reliability; we trust him completely.”
About: Growing up, I had a Lab and then a Boxer and two cats. I've also helped my aunt at the doggie daycare she runs out of her home where she often has more than 10 dogs at a time. Everything from a Great Pyrenees to German Shepherds to Doodles to Yorkies. And it's always so much fun! The care I'll give your pets will really depend on them and their needs. There's a very large unfenced grass area behind my apartment building that would be perfect for walks or play. And there are multiple parks in the area too we could explore. At yours, I'd keep whatever their normal routine is. Whether that's taking walks, throwing the ball or just sitting and chilling and scratching butts. Their butts of course!

About: If you’re looking for someone to just drop a bowl of kibble and scroll on their phone, I’m probably not your person. But if you want someone who will treat your pet like a misunderstood genius or a retired diplomat, we’re going to get along great! I work for the MTA as a train operator in the city, but on my days off I love taking my corgi Zuko on long walks and playing in our yard. I've had dogs and cats since I was young, and have a special affinity for all animals. If you want your fur baby treated like the king or queen they know they are while you're away, look no further! I am currently off Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays so I will have the full 24 hours of those days to walk, play, entertain, and care for your pets. I have a large unfenced yard on a very quiet street off the main road. I also have a extremely friendly and energetic corgi named Zuko who will assuredly be your pets new best friend. There will be tons of playing, running, fetch and more to ensure your pet has the best experience staying at their home away from home.
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs as well as other animals for many years both in my own home as well as at other families homes! I can be relied on to care for the animal as if they are my own and provide lots of love to them! I work as a nanny but am also home each night and my parents are often home during the day when I am not home (they are also animal lovers!). Also happy to help on weekends as well! We have an unfenced backyard but we have a dog play area with its own ramp from the house down into a fenced in area with grass and water and some shade! Inside the house we would either crate the animal at night or if they are not used to being in a crate, keep them in a room separate from our animals with plenty of air conditioning, food, water, playtime, and lots of fun time outside!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Putnam Lake. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
