Rose is excellent! She goes above and beyond to keep our pup stimulated on her mid-day walks and always leaves detailed reports with plenty of pictures. She is our go-to walker.

Even after the front door locked Nicholas out, he and his wife still stayed with cooper until I was able to come home. They did not accept my cash tip I offered for being so patient, and they only had things to praise cooper for. Great walkers and great people!

About: I work at The Bark Yard, a fear and force free doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I care for dogs daily in a positive, stress-free environment. I’ve grown up with small to extremely large dogs—mainly Boston terriers and Great Pyrenees—and have hands-on experience with feeding, medication routines, enrichment, and reading canine body language. I also personally own and care for a cat, so I’m comfortable providing attentive, gentle care for both dogs and cats. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I work hands-on at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, so caring for animals, following schedules, and reading behavior is second nature to me. At home, I care for my own cat with consistent feeding, litter maintenance, playtime, and observation. Because pet care is built into my lifestyle—not something I squeeze in—I’m reliable, attentive, and able to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow all written and verbal instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and household rules. I respect the pet’s space, read body language, and move at their comfort level—especially for shy or anxious pets. I keep doors, gates, and leashes secure, maintain a clean environment, and leave the home as I found it. My goal is for pets to feel calm, safe, and cared for in their familiar environment.

About: I have always loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid! I have been around dogs since I was little and I live with a cat now! I would adore taking your furry friend for a walk or checking up on your cat when you are away. I am currently trying to fit dog walking into my schedule in the mornings before my job starts (STARTING IN MAY). I can also check up on your furry friend in the evening. I am also building my online business so days I am not at my other job are more flexible! I am very good at directions and pay attention to details. I will follow the directions left by the owners when doing a check in! I listen to the pet, and if they are not so sure of me, I let them come to me (especially with cats!) And of course there will be lots of pets!

About: Hi, My name is Muriel and I am originally from France. I moved to the US 9 years ago and I miss having cats in my life! I used to cat sit there (home and people's home) for 4 years. My family also owned cats when I was younger. I am used to them and they get easily used to me! At home, it's me, my husband and our 5 year old girl. Tyler and Julia are both big fan of cats. Julia is very gentle with animals and i taught her to respect them. We have a house with a fenced yard. If your cat is not supposed to go outside, I'll make sure to keep the doors and windows closed. Can't wait to meet your pet! I am working full time from home, from 8 to 5 pm. I'll be happy to have a cat keep me company! Our daughter goes to school from 8:30 to 5pm. We allow cats to use our furniture and sleep with us (hopefully!!!!) Because I work remotely, I spend most of the day at home with your cat. I love to play with them using little strings or aluminum foil balls. My daughter Julia will also help with that part of course! I change the litter several times a day to avoid smells. I am also happy to brush/comb your cat :)

About: I have worked with and cared for dogs all my life, and cats about half. I have trained dozens of dogs, even ones that have been “impossible”. I am a very active person and outside is better than in! Expect to get your pets back tired so you all can rest before you’re back at the grind. Right now I have a full-time job and just looking for a side gig doing something I love on the weekends. I love animals, even the quirky ones. Right now, just working on the weekends I’m available. I do have two small dogs at home that need to play, and love other pets. I can watch them at my home, bring them to the dog park or at your home, if I can bring my dogs with.

Alejandro has been a life saver the last month I’ve been unable to walk my fur baby. He’s prompt, communicates great (I’ve made a few errors in my bookings and easily corrected), and my dog loves him! Alejandro takes my pup on a good 30 minute survey of the neighborhood, often taking many, many pee breaks to make sure he’s left his mark. Thankful for Alejandro’s patience.

About: I come from the doggy daycare business, so I have tons of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and ages. My work consisted of taking the dogs on walks, providing them with enriching play time, and ensuring they feel comfortable in their schedule of alternating play and rest. I have plenty of ideas to keep your pup engaged and entertained, but I also love just chilling and cuddling. My special skills include: -training puppies on basic cues and manners -fear and force-free grooming (baths, nail trims, deshedding) I’m free to house sit overnight for you every day except Fridays, though I’m willing to negotiate scheduling on a case by case basis! I’m a writer, and I can do my work from anywhere. I like to keep an eye on your pet at all times to ensure they are staying safe and happy. If they like outside time, I’m happy to supervise them in a fenced in yard, let them roam on lead, or take them on multiple walks a day. Whatever their usual schedule is, I will match it to the best of my ability!

About: I've taken care of the family dog since I was very young. I have experience training, bathing, walking, and just being around all kinds of dogs. I am an artist finishing my last semester at the Maine College of Art looking for part time work taking care of and walking dogs. I have lots of time between classes, on days off, and on weekends to care for your pets! I am an athletic person, with a love for long walks, so your dog should always come home tired! I am very flexible and more than willing to cater to the needs of all different kinds of dogs.

Tiffany has done a great job with Madison! She is very responsive and checks in often. He looks forward to his walks and tlc time with her. Tiffany has been very flexible and patient with Madx especially since he has had a slight muscle injury and sometimes needs a modified walk. Would book again and again!

Megan came by for a meet and greet, and my dogs immediately loved her! She has since been very quick to reply to my requests, and is always willing to work walks into her schedule. Megan is very responsible and lets herself into my house without any issues, and always locks the doors after, and always sends updates with the pups photos and walk report! She’s very trustworthy - 10/10 would recommend!!

Love, live, live how Burt gets so excited when I ask him “Is your girl Brooke coming today?” He does circles and runs to the door to look out for her! Brooke has done an amazing job working with Burt in the mornings. He comes back more relaxed after a good long walk or run in the with Brooke. Brooke communicates well for bookings and when changes need to be made. I highly recommend for your dog walking needs. Of course after she visits us :)

Danny was absolutely amazing. He went above and beyond to treat my dog like his own dog. We have been going to the same dog park for a while and I can't think of anyone better to help give you dog exercise. He was always timely - and my dog can often be a lot of energy, but it was no problem for Danny. He is phenomenal with dogs, of any kind, and extremely trustworthy. I truly can not recommend him more.
