“Michelle is amazing!! Our rescue has some issues and warmed up to Michelle very quickly. Michelle takes such good care of Wynona, is an excellent communicator, and sends the sweetest photos from each visit. We're so grateful to have found Michelle and cannot recommend her highly enough!”

“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!”

“Eden was great. I had to book relatively last minute. She was very responsive and professional. I had to leave very specific instructions to get into my apartment and she had no issues. Reagan was well taken care of and seemed very happy in the pictures she sent. I would definitely use Eden again!”
“Ellie has been great taking care of my dogs! She always updates me on what time she is coming and takes lots of pictures. I trust her to give my dogs the attention they need while I am gone :)”

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.

“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!”

“Antoinette watched our 5 month old puppy while we went out to a family dinner. She was amazing with our little Mabel, kept in touch and sent pictures. Thank you so much!”

About: I bring years of hands-on experience and genuine passion to every pet I care for. I’ve been volunteering at animal shelters for around 8 years, regularly walking and spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition, I’ve had dogs of my own for over 10 years, giving me experience with pets at every stage of life — from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I have always had a deep love and patience for animals. I truly care for every pet as if they were my own, paying close attention to their unique personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, and I understand how to adapt my approach whether it’s high-energy playtime, structured walks, or calm companionship. I am looking for weekday stop-ins and walks, along with weekend stays, that will fit around my graduate school schedule at Brown University. Hours are relatively flexible. I love ALL animals from the top to the bottom of my heart, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
“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”


About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since 10 and had foster dogs for the past year. I am very familiar with their habits and have a blog recording all the dogs I’ve met on the street including their names and personalities so I could recognize them the next time we met. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and spend most of my day at home. This allows me to provide regular supervision, companionship, feeding, playtime, and exercise. I can also guarantee at least two one-hour outdoor walks each day, ensuring pets stay active, engaged, and well cared for. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment for every pet in my care. My home has enough dedicated space to accommodate a crate for dogs up to 100 lbs if needed. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I closely follow their routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. I am attentive, confident handling dogs of different sizes, and committed to science-based pet care practices that prioritize both physical and emotional well-being. Building trust with pets and their owners is extremely important to me, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.

So grateful for Caleb’s help with my family’s dog! My Doberman is pretty energetic and strong and Caleb walked and took care of him with no problem at all. He provided consistent updates, and I truly never worried while I was away. He’s great with animals and I would highly recommend him!!

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.

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!!!
