Kate is wonderful! My dog Charlie was being shy and reluctant to go on a walk but Kate stayed and played with her to keep her company for the duration of the visit!

Dawn is the best, we feel so lucky to have found her! We get the cutest pictures and detailed updates every day. It is clear to us that she genuinely enjoys spending time with our dog. He is a hound so it is important to us that Dawn lets his nose lead the way to explore. Wholeheartedly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a caring, flexible and personable sitter/walker.

Donna & Kim just adored and loved our pup while we were away, making sure to provide us with updates regularly. It made our trip away from home so much easier. They gave us complete peace of mind. Would definitely use them as sitters again :)

About: I know how important it is to find the right person to watch over your pets. My home is a haven for dogs, with a fully fenced-in backyard where they can play, sniff, sunbathe, and explore safely. My Golden Retriever, Marshall, is a sweet and well-loved boy who adores making new friends. He loves to play with other dogs, nap on the couch, and splash in a pool on a hot day. I always make time for my dog whether it’s taking walks during breaks, playing in the yard, enrichment games, or sunbathing time (for the dogs, not me) I have a fully fenced in backyard that always has fresh water for the pups. There’s plenty of toys to play with, shade under a gazebo, and on a hot day, a mini pool to cool off in! The yard is treated with all natural, pet safe flea and tick deterrent.

About: I’ve always been the “dog person” in every friend group — the one who ends up on the floor making friends with the pup before saying hi to the humans. I worked at a busy doggy daycare in Boston, caring for every kind of dog you can imagine — from sassy little Chihuahuas to giant, goofy Great Danes. That experience taught me how to handle all temperaments and energy levels, and how to make each dog feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m super patient, calm, and in tune with what each pup needs — whether that’s a long walk to burn off zoomies, a game of fetch, or just some cozy couch time. I’ve helped with puppy training (crate, potty, and leash manners) and I have a soft spot for senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. You’ll get plenty of photo updates, honest check-ins, and one very happy dog when you get home. My goal is always the same: to make your pup feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you’re away. ❤️ I have a very flexible schedule to check in on pups and give walks/drop in care. I am available every other weekend for overnights and can offer extra care in-home for repeat clients who's dogs are friendly with other dogs and kiddos. When I’m caring for someone’s dog, safety and comfort always come first. I take time to learn each pup’s routine, triggers, and preferences so I can keep things calm and predictable — whether that means sticking to their walking routes, following special feeding or medication instructions to the letter. I’m big on communication and always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they never have to wonder how things are going. I double-check gates, leashes, and doors every time, and I never let dogs off leash unless we’re in a secure, fenced area. In your home, I treat the space with the same respect I’d expect in mine — clean, reliable, and mindful of your pup’s comfort and boundaries. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, loved, and totally at ease while you’re away. 🐾

About: Not only have I taken care of my family’s pets, but I also have experience working in a dog daycare, boarding and grooming facility that allowed me to learn so much more about the care of animals. I am a college student who currently works part-time, and am getting my degree virtually which gives me enough time to care for your furry friends on the side! While caring for your pets I will give them my full attention. I love to update owners while their pets are in my care to show how their pet is doing. I also am a very active person so your animals will be able to get the exercise they need.

Shauna has been walking our terrier 1-2 times per week for about six months now and we couldn't be happier. She always takes pictures and sends them right away along with an update on how he's doing. He always looks so happy in her photos, it's clear she not only takes good care of him but also that he has bonded with and trusts her. I'm so happy that he can have that connection and added attention while we are at work. If you're looking for an awesome dog walker, Shauna is it!

About: Pet sitter with 10 years experience. 5 years veterinary experience as well as training and grooming experience. I've never had a job that didn't involve animals and I would never change that. My passion for animal care is unmatched and I truly love what I do. I'm able to provide an array of different services including but not limited to day long hikes as well as beach trips. Whether your furry friend needs a quick 30-minute walk or an all-day adventure, I've got you covered! Mine and my fiancé's life revolves around our own 2 dogs and they are spoiled rotten. They're the reason I get up in the morning, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. From 6 am wake-up calls for puppy cuddles to 10 pm bedtime stories (yes, you read that right - my dogs love a good bedtime story!), our fur babies are the center of our universe. Some fun facts about me are I played competitive travel softball for 13 years - I'm talking national championships, folks! And in my free time, when not hiking with my own dogs or yours, I love to get creative with pottery. It's my go-to stress-reliever, and I hope to open my own studio one day. But enough about me - let's talk about your furry friend! What are their favorite toys, treats, and activities!! Tell me everything, and let's get this paw-some adventure started! I’m currently working full time as a pet sitter!! So if you need someone reliable and consistent please feel free to reach out! I’m here for you :) I’m currently working with no yard so we have changed the “normal” we plan 1 adventure a day for boarding dogs weather that be a long hike.. a trip to the beach or in indoor activity in a pet friendly store you’re pup will be well occupied. Boarding pups will also get multiple 15-30 min walks a day and have full access to my home. I have 2 pups who are 2 different activity levels so someone will always have a friend. The toy basket is bottomless and the couch is fair game :) when your pup stays with me they will always be the number 1 priority.
