“Kelly is great! Amazing energy, you can tell right away she’s great with animals.”


“Kylie did a great job walking my dog, sending me photos and gaging how hot it was outside and cutting my dogs walk short as it was too hot. I appreciate that!”


“Even when I booked last minute, they still found time to do a meet and greet. They are very professional and kind. My dog absolutely loves Adam! Great team.”


About: I have taken care of dogs for about five years. My girl loves hiking and long walks. I love taking pups on long walks to tire them out!! I am currently going to school with a pretty open schedule. Looking for odd jobs to fill in the gaps and make a little bit on the side. I have a friendly fixed female who is crate trained. I also have a fenced in yard but prefer walks around the block with pups.

“Thx Haley, he's a home body to say the least. So appreciate your help with him!!”


“Tara has been great. She took my three dogs on a walk and then played with them. She takes good care especially of my 3-month old puppy. I feel like my dogs are safe with her and she’s extreme communicative! She’s really great and I will definitely use her again!”


About: I’ve grown up caring for my own Yorkie, who just turned 15, and have spent the past 13 years learning how to give her the best care possible. Along the way, I’ve also helped neighbors, friends, and family with their pets. I’m active, responsible, and very patient—skills I’ve strengthened through my work with kids. Whether it’s taking dogs for walks, feeding them, playing, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel loved and cared for. I’m working part-time right now, but I’m truly dedicated to finding a schedule that fits not just my life, but also the needs of the wonderful dog families I work with. Most importantly, I want to make sure the pups stay happy, healthy, and feel loved while I’m with them. I’m flexible and always happy to adjust my availability because every dog deserves the best care and attention possible! When I’m in your home, I treat it like I would a friend’s, with care, respect, and maybe a little tidying here and there! I follow your pet’s routine closely and do my best to keep things calm and cozy. I want your pets to feel totally at ease while you’re away, and for you to come home to a happy pup and a space just the way you left it!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with varying medical needs and have a genuine passion for helping pets of all ages and abilities thrive. I've been trusted with friends' and family's pets for over 10 years, and having my own dog for 8 years has taught me to read each pet's unique personality and needs. I have special experience with senior dogs and disabled pets, understanding the extra patience, gentle care, and attention to detail they require. Whether it's managing medications, mobility assistance, or simply providing the comfort and routine that older or special-needs pets depend on, I approach each situation with compassion and expertise. My long history of pet care has shown me that every animal deserves individualized attention and love. I'm not just providing a service - I'm building genuine connections with both pets and their families. I'm absolutely delighted to meet your pet and connect with you to ensure they receive the personalized care that makes them feel safe, loved, and happy! Pet care has become a wonderful part of my routine, (I have an eight year old pup who I adore and a 3 year old kitty with A LOT of attitude) especially since I recently graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and am currently between jobs. Pet care gives me the flexibility to be completely available for furry friends who need care! I'm free every day and love structuring my time around pets' needs - whether that's morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding schedules, or extended sitting sessions. I find it incredibly rewarding to provide attentive, personalized care, and I'm always willing to stay for the entire duration of a sitting to ensure pets feel comfortable and loved. Having this open schedule means I can be fully present and dedicated to each pet's unique routine and personality. As a 22-year-old college graduate, I understand the importance of trust and responsibility when caring for someone's beloved companion. I ensure your furry friend's safety by maintaining their familiar routines, keeping doors and gates securely closed, and staying attentive to their behavior and needs throughout my visit. I'm also completely comfortable with crate usage if that's part of your pet's routine. I focus exclusively on providing care in your pet's own home, which I believe is the most comfortable and stress-free environment for them. While I don't offer services at my own home, I'm more than willing to provide overnight care and am incredibly flexible with scheduling to meet your pet's specific needs! I love that in-home care allows pets to stay in their safe space with all their favorite toys, beds, and familiar scents. My approach is holistic - I focus on keeping your pet comfortable, maintaining their established routines, and ensuring they feel secure and loved. Whether you need overnight sitting, daily visits, or extended care, I'm happy to work around your schedule and your pet's routine. My goal is to provide such attentive, reliable care that both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and secure while you're away!
