Tyler is amazing! I would highly recommend Tyler to friends, family and anyone who is looking for a dog walker/sitter. It's hard for me to trust each and anyone with my Zeus and Tyler gained my trust. Tyler cares and is very patient.

Eilleen was great with our cockapoo Wesley - he seemed very excited to see her for his check-ins! She was also super helpful and understanding when it came to scheduling around my new job, which we’ve really appreciated.

About: Hi! I love dogs since I was 6 years old. I specialize in taking care of small dogs up to 25 pounds. I currently have 2 pups - 3 year old Yorkie named Cosita & 3 year old pug named Madrid. Before them, I've taken care of my pugs, Miami & Aliza (both 16 years old when they passed away in December 2020 & February 2021), along with pets of my neighbors, friends, and family friends. I know almost every dog breed by heart. My favorite dog breeds are Pugs and Yorkshire Terriers. I am available during the work week to take care of your fur baby, as I work from home part-time. This means that I am able to provide your pet with plenty of attention and exercise, even on weekdays. I am also able to adjust my schedule to accommodate your pet's needs, such as if they need to be fed or let outside at specific times. I am committed to providing your pet with the best possible care, and I will do everything I can to make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you are away. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs - my Yorkshire Terrier and my Pug - to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed (only if you instruct so)... I am also experienced in dog walking and drop-in visits. I make sure that your fur baby has water, food, and is able to do their business outside. ****I only accept dogs that weigh no more than 25 pounds**** Please feel free to reach out to book me and ask me any questions and/or comments! :)

About: I have 10 years of experience in dog care, dog rescue, and animal shelters. I am fear free certified, dedicated to practicing positive reinforcement and force free protocols. I ran a petsitting business until last year when I adopted my own dogs. I specialize in dogs with reactivity, newly adopted dogs, fearful dogs, and dogs with separation anxiety. I am dedicated to continuing my education on dog behavior through seminars and webinars. I am recently out of corporate America and am looking to spend more time with dogs in my area. I am open to walking dogs and drop in visits for pets any time of day! I care for pets in their home and environment, where they are already the most comfortable. I am dedicated to safety, comfort and keeping everyone as happy as possible!

About: I've walked my friends' rescue dog and helped take care of her. In addition, I have helped out friends and family members with their dogs. Also, I took care of a puppy for seven months. I am patient, gentle, energetic, and genuinely enjoy playing with the dogs. My values include always cleaning up after the dog. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with dogs. Dog walking is something I am excited to do consistently. My current focus is on dog walking, rather than caring for pets in my own home. In a client's home, I would care for pets by following each owner's instructions carefully and respecting their home and routine. I would make sure the dog is safely leashed before we head out on a walk. During a walk, I would keep them secure and comfortable, clean up after them, and make sure they are safely back inside afterward.

Melissa was great with my dog, Blaze! She not only provided Blaze with much needed exercise on her daily walks, but she almost always stuck around to give a little tender love and care to our pooch. She also brought in our mail, which was an unexpected perk. I highly recommend Melissa. She is a reliable and loving caretaker of dogs.

About: Hi! I’m Lindsay, a 19-year-old college student originally from New Jersey. Some things about me that I do on my free time is going on runs, going to the beach, and spending time with friends and family. I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, my family always had dogs, and now currently have a tabby cat. I’ve frequently helped care for pets belonging to friends and relatives as well. I will always enjoy spending time with pets whether it be on a walk or just hanging out with them to keep company! I also have been caring for pets through a different app as well providing walks, sittings, drop ins, etc with a 5 star rating! The same love and attention I give to my pet will be the same for yours! I’m currently working part-time at Ben And Jerry’s. Usually Mondays, Thursdays, Friday, Saturdays. However, I work around my schedule as a pet-caregiver. I understand how important it is to feel safe and comfortable when leaving your pet in someone’s care. I promise to treat your pet with the same love, respect, and attention that I give to my own. Your pet’s well-being and happiness will always be my top priority, and I will make sure they feel secure and cared for every step of the way!

About: I’ve been lucky enough to have a dog or dogs almost all my life. I also love helping out neighbors & caring for their dogs. I work from home, for the most part, so my schedule is pretty flexible, which also helps to ease the minds of any anxious pups. I have a fenced in yard with lots of space to run around and hang out. My neighborhood is also pretty quiet for nice, safe walks.
