About: Hey, I’m Anthony! I’ve been around dogs my whole life — I grew up with them and now have my own little pup, Lily.. Taking care of dogs has always come naturally to me, and over the years I’ve helped a lot of friends, neighbors, and coworkers with their pets too — whether it’s walking, feeding, or just hanging out with them while their owners are away. I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your dog, and I treat every one like they’re my own. I’m reliable, easy to reach, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Looking forward to meeting you and your dog! I make sure to prioritize my pet care responsibilities by scheduling them into my daily routine. This allows me to provide consistent care to each pet and ensure that they receive the attention they need, even on busy days. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure to create a comfortable and safe environment for them. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, and provide plenty of playtime, exercise, and cuddles to ensure that the pets feel happy and loved while their owners are away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 18, helping out friends and family with both dog sitting and house sitting. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I genuinely love spending time with them. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just keeping them company. I always aim to make pets feel safe, happy, and at home. I work from home full-time, which means I can give your pup plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m flexible with scheduling and can easily stick to your dog’s usual routine, whether that’s regular walks, playtime breaks, or just being there for some extra company. I’m very attentive with my own dog at home, making sure she’s walked, fed, and well cared for every day. I’ve also fostered puppies in the past, which taught me the importance of patience and consistency, especially when it comes to potty training and helping them adjust to a new environment.

“Very nice, great communication will hire again!”


“Alaina took great care of Fenway and she went on some pretty long walks!”


About: have experience bathing, feeding, grooming, and playing with dogs and cats. I grew up with 3 dogs, not including the many fosters my mom took in from our local humane society, and I now have my own kitten, Tillie. I am a student, so I have flexibility throughout weekdays for lunchtime care, and am always available weekdays for dinnertime car and on all weekends. During drop- in visits and dog walking times, I will care for your pets as if they were my own! I am very conscientious of disposing of pet waste properly, and can handle the weight of walking a large dog.

“Emily was fantastic! Our Dog Nova absolutely loved her. Emily took the time to understand that Nova loves playing with her toy, and made sure to make time to play with her during the drop ins. 10/10 will be using Emily in the future.”


About: Hi there! I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember—starting with my own pets, then helping family and friends, and eventually fostering cats/kittens and dogs/pupies for several years. I’m deeply experienced with all kinds of personalities—from playful puppies to shy rescues—and I know how to make animals feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or special attention for nervous pets, I treat every animal like they’re my own. You can count on me for reliable, attentive, and compassionate care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just spending quiet time with animals, it’s second nature to me. I’ve fostered for years and regularly care for pets of family and friends, so my schedule is already built around making sure animals are safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m used to adjusting my routine to meet each pet’s needs, whether that means early morning walks, medication schedules, or extra cuddle time. I work from home so that’s super helpful. I treat every pet like a little soul in my care—whether they’re staying with me or I’m in their space. In my home, I create a calm, cozy vibe with safe spaces, soft spots to rest, and plenty of love (plus playtime, if they’re into that!). When I’m in your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely so they feel grounded and secure. I move with their energy—whether that means zoomies, belly rubs, or quiet companionship.


About: I have been around dogs all my life. I've grown up around dogs and adopted one of my own, an australian shepherd/border collie mix named Dallas! Most of my friends would describe me as dog crazy. I love taking dogs for long walks and playing with them. I will care for your dog as if they are my own dog. I don't mind washing or sleeping with them if they get lonely and Dallas will always be there to have fun with them as well. I love to teach them new tricks and to help train them to go potty outside instead of inside the house or apartment. I love dogs as if they are humans, maybe even more so than humans! Call me if you need help with your dog.

Shneila L.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Our pets have a new favorite human!” I don’t know what kind of magic they used, but my dog—who usually treats new people like they owe him money—was cuddling up within minutes. My cat, who acts like a CEO with a strict “no touching” policy, even graced them with a head boop. Clearly, I’m being replaced. Not only did my fur babies get top-tier care, but I also got hilarious photo updates that made me question if my pets were actually on vacation. 10/10 would book again—though my cat may try to renegotiate her contract.”
