“Chantelle has been such a wonderful dog walker for my pup. She is a good communicator and very reliable- she’s even been able to be flexible if my schedule has changed, which is amazing! I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone kind to walk your pup.”
“Abby was great for two early morning walks with my old boy. The weather was not great but he seemed really happy anyway. Abby was also super punctual which was impressive so early in the morning. Ty Abby!”

“Excellent with our dog, he fell for her within two walks. Always communicative and reliable. Extremely knowledgeable about animal safety, health, and general wellbeing.”
About: I spent a few years of college walking dogs as a side job. While I already walk my own Golden three times a day I'm back to taking client's dogs as well! I've also walked other dogs with my own (upon client request) if the client wants their dog to have more socialization. My main job is working on my own company from home so I'm extremely flexible. My own dog gets walks at 6 am, noon, and 5 pm but that is flexible. I treat client dogs as if they are my own as that is how I want my pup to be treated when someone else is caring for her!
“Sam has been great with Winston! He loves getting a visit from Sam and Sam had asked all the right questions in order to best take care of Winston and his needs!”
“Deanna is GREAT! She's been walking Freckles on a regular basis for almost a year, and is reliable, trustworthy and caring. She not only walks him, but gives him his medications. My senior pup is super important to me, so I'm lucky to have someone take care of him that I trust.”
“Camilla helped us with our dog on very short notice and was great and easy to communicate with. Thanks!”
“Baeli was so awesome with our first meet and greet (Zoe and I felt very safe with Baeli and trusted her while we were out of town. She took extra steps to make sure Zoe wasn't too hott and refreshed her water. Thanks again! Looking forward to rebooking!”
“Lydia is great! She’s super flexible and easy to schedule. She’s great with our puppy and is a lifesaver since I work out of the house all day. I definitely recommend her!”
“Thanks Emily! Appreciate the meet and greet before the first walk.made me very comfortable. Definitely will be in touch for more walks. Cheers”
“Erin has been so helpful and available to help with teddy whenever i asked. I have been so grateful for her good photography of my pup teddy. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was a kid and I learned a lot on my own how to take care pets and understand their language. I love being around with animals, it’s the biggest comfort for me 🩷 I am a grad student at RISD. Mondays and Thursdays I get off class usually at 6, sometimes can be early. Tuesdays and Fridays I am available after 12pm. Wednesdays after 4:30pm. Flexible on weekends. I live in an apartment, we have a backyard and it’s fenced. The rooms are in decent size, we can keep the pets in the living room if necessary, however I am mainly doing dog walking and visits for now.
“Gee is a wonderful guy and I immediately felt at ease entrusting him with my toy poodle Sunny. I am on maternity leave with my first baby and needed more help walking Sunny than I anticipated. Gee came to my rescue and has been providing Sunny all the extra walks and love he needs right now. Sunny is very excited when Gee arrives - always a great sign!”
About: I’ve had dogs for 17 years and cats as well. Also I’ve dog walked for neighbor, fostered puppies and have a year old puppy now. I’m very patient, caring, and attentive with all animals and I treat them like my own! Growing up as an animal lover meant saving animals off the street and caring for them or adopting them (which happened more than once). Whether I’ve known an animal for a year, or just one day I have and always will treat them with the love and care I show my own furballs. Right now I have a very flexible part time job as a barista while I prepare to go back to school. So my schedule means I can be very accommodating! I have experience with reactive dogs. I can do everything from taking your animals on long walks and playing with them, to administering medication. I’m pretty good at understanding animals moods and what they want based on their behavior. I’ll always be kind and gentle with your pet and provide them whatever they need, whether it’s food or love.
“Mae was awesome as usual! Arrived as scheduled and left a very detailed summary. I'm always stress free and know that both of my dogs are being taken care of with me. She was also super considerate and replaced the water in their water bowl. We appreciate you Mae !”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters? My husband and I are dog lovers who miss our furry friends back home, and we’re excited to welcome your doggo into our lives! My family has a mini golden doodle and my husband’s family has a small Yorkie Russell; they’re both very different so we have a lot of experience. Having used dog sitters for our family pets, we also understand what dog owners need and how important it is to keep your doggo happy and comfortable. We have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, providing tailored training support and gentle care. With plenty of playtime, daily walks, and cuddles, your dog will get all the love they deserve. Plus, we’ll send regular updates and photos so you can see just how much fun they’re having! I’m currently home all day so I am available for all your needs. My hours are flexible and I have access to a car as well. We have a two bed room apartment and a large open living room. Our apartment complex also has a dog park so it’s a great area for doggos to explore, run and sniff around.
