“Michelle is the best! Our dog loved her- we marveled that he was like a better dog after walking with Michelle, more relaxed and easy going. She was very communicative and it was clear how much she cares about our dog. Thank you so much Michelle!”


About: I’ve been walking and pet sitting for about 3 years. I am in my zone when I am around pets. I’m very patient and pay attention to each pet’s personality, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need extra comfort. I make sure they stay on their routine with feeding, walks, and playtime, and I always keep their environment clean and safe. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I currently offer dog walking and have a flexible schedule. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust to your pet’s routine for walks, exercise, and quick check-ins. I’m reliable and make sure your dog gets the time, attention, and movement they need. I always put your dog’s safety first during walks. I stay aware of our surroundings, keep a secure leash, and follow your instructions so your dog feels comfortable and safe the whole time.
About: I have taken care of other's various fur babies for several years now starting caring for my parents cats when they are away and caring for my closest friends and family's dogs. I have experience with all temperaments and have experience with anxious animals who need some time. I am also a huge nerd and generally wind up researching dogs/cats/breeds when caring for animals. I prefer to do a meet and greet first if I will be staying with your fur baby! I am currently between full time jobs working on my Ebay store and looking for work in Food Science. Currently I have fairly open availability but may soon begin a part time job in a sensory analysis lab. I'm very time oriented so am able t I am unable to board animals at my own residence due to renting, but I am comfortable with drop ins, walking and overnight stays. I try and make animals feel safe and comfortable especially on overnights giving them lots of love until their person/people return.
“Kamilla is fabulous! She was kind enough to take the time to do a meet & greet to ensure she has all the details for pet care. My corgi loved spending time with her! She was communicative, punctual and great overall. Highly recommend Kamilla 🙂🫶”

About: I grew up in Germany and my parents have two Yorkshire terriers there that I took care of a lot. I also did some dog sitting throughout college. I just moved to Rumford and would love to spend some time with your pets in my free time. Happy to hear from you ! I work 9-5 on weekdays but am available to help early mornings or afternoons. Weekends I am available too! I look forward to meet you and your pet I live in an apartment complex where they allow small dogs. It is a 2 bedroom apartment where I live with my sister who also loves pets. There is a lot of grass around where I will be able to walk them. For bigger dogs I am happy to take care of them at your home or I can offer to take them for walks.
“Natasha was great with my pup! He loved his walks and the attention she gave him. She was very professional and super quick to respond to any messages for booking. She even brought in a package for me that came during his walk which was very kind of her.”

“We have found THE dog whisperer in Nicole. From our initial meet and greet it was very apparent Nicole has a lot of dog experience, she handled our quirky dog with such patience and kindness and now they’re the best of friends! We are so thankful for her and feel so happy knowing our girl is cared for so well!”

About: Hi there! My name is Shane, and I’m based in Taunton, MA, providing pet care all across Massachusetts and RI. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, and even chinchillas. My background includes working as a playgroup supervisor at a doggy daycare outside Boston, as well as my former position at Providence Animal Rescue League as a communications coordinator and pet photographer (which means I’d be happy to capture some great photos of your pets, too!). In addition to my hands-on experience, I’m comfortable and experienced with administering medications — including to cats and dogs with special medical needs. I understand the importance of patience and precision when it comes to keeping pets healthy and happy. At home, I share life with my partner Anna (also an animal lover and caregiver), our diabetic cat Nestor, and our two leopard geckos, Meechee and Verne. I also help care for my family’s dog, Finn, whenever I can. Currently, I work mostly remotely, with occasional in office days. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or pet sitting/boarding, I bring a mix of professional experience, personal passion, and a whole lot of care to every pet I meet. I’d love the chance to get to know you and your pets! I currently work a hybrid-remote job that is dominantly remote, with occasional in office days. Myself and my partner are a lovely tag team of caregivers when it comes to our cat and leopard geckos! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their routine as closely as possible so your pets feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding on schedule, refreshing water, walks or playtime, administering medication if needed, and of course lots of love and attention. I keep a close eye on their well-being, send updates and photos, and always leave your home just as I found it. To be able to stay in your home is a privilege in itself, so I thank you for the hospitality! When pets stay with me, I provide a safe and cozy environment, enrichment through play, and plenty of supervised attention. I believe in treating every animal as if they were my own — making sure they’re happy, healthy, and cared for in the way that suits them best.

“Donna was great! Had her take my dog for walks while I was at work! She was very punctual and responded quickly when I messaged her! She gave full reports on how my pup did which I really appreciate! Highly recommend!”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs for over 14 years. I am passionate about animals and want to provide the best love and care for your furry friend. I love taking your dog on walks, playing with their favorite toys, making sure they receive the proper meals, and am comfortable giving medication when needed. I have worked in the healthcare field for 4 years so I feel comfortable following care plans and specific diets. I have experience dog sitting young and old dogs and have dog sat for weeks in a row. I am available 24/7 by text, call or email. I do not mind going on long walks or spending extra time playing with your dog to give them the proper exercise needed to keep them happy! I am more than happy to meet your dog prior to starting to put your mind at ease. I am currently an occupational therapist at a local elementary school. Since I work at a school I often have more flexibility around school breaks. Afternoons/evenings are my most open times. I have a small dog park in my complex and live close to a few parks for longer walks. Having owned a dog for 15 years I am confident in how to care for a dog in the home.
“Kayla accommodated me for a last minute holiday visit and walk with my dog on Thanksgiving, which I am so grateful for! A last minute change in our plans meant he’d be home alone. She came over for a meet and greet two days before and asked a lot of important questions. She was good with Oso and kind about his need to be heard (aka lots of demand barking). He is not yet two and she understands puppies. She was easy to communicate with and I’d recommend her to care for your dog anytime.”

I'm very happy with my choice of Amanda to walk my dog. She's the best poop picker upper and awesome at petting dogs. I knew I had made the right choice when Dude (my dog) sat me down after dinner and said how much he appreciates that I got him such a great dog walker.

Brooke did a drop in visit for a couple of days in a row and was amazing with our two dogs! She was timely and very communicative. Her updates are the best! The dogs both really liked her and enjoyed their walks (even when it was raining one day). Will definitely book again!

I would highly recommend hiring Crystal for your needs. She was promp and very communicative throughout the whole process. I was very hesitant at first being my first time using this service but doing a meet before hand really set my mind at ease. Not to mention my dog loved her. She kept me up to date on the walks and took some great photos. And she made sure my dogs food and water was taken care of before leaving as well.

We couldn't be more grateful to have had Gilbert as our dog walker while we were on vacation. From the very beginning, was professional, trustworthy, and—most importantly—absolutely wonderful with our dog. Gilbert took the time to understand our dog's routine, quirks, and preferences, and it showed in how happy and relaxed our pup was when we got home. He kept us updated with photos and little notes after each visit, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear that Gilbert genuinely cares about the pets he works with—he treated our dog like his own. If you're looking for someone dependable, kind, and truly great with animals, we wholeheartedly recommend Gilbert. We’ll definitely be booking him again! Thank you so much, The Rebello's

Michelle has come weekly to see our large, old lady, rescue pittie since September last year. We couldn’t recommend her enough! She is reliable, professional, responsible (naturally sensitive to our dogs needs) & cares for our dog like she is her own. Even down to photos/videos/notes for each visit that are always so thoughtful & give us a good giggle when there are some silly shots of her. Michelle is the best!!!
