“Kelly took great care of my pups, giving them the exercise and love they needed! Thanks for helping me in a pinch.”


2. Hallie F.
“Hallie is the most dependable person that you could ask for! She loves animals and would be perfect for this job! She has helped me with my dog Neiko whenever I have needed it and she truly loves him! She is incredibly honest and responsible and I can't say enough good about her. You would be lucky to have her look after your pet!”


3. Jamie P.


“We have had a great experience with Jamie! We have a new baby and a toddler, and getting our dog out for walks sometimes feels impossible. This is our first time hiring a dog walker and she has made us feel so comfortable, and our dog sure appreciates it! Our dog is a little nervous and Jamie has worked hard to make her comfortable going for walks with her. She is very communicative, flexible, and responsive. Cant say enough good things!”


4. Melissa H.

“Melissa was great! She walked our two 70lb pit bulls Skye and Blue 4 days in a row. She was great communicating the times she was going to walk them and showing up on time. She sent pictures each walk with the map and distance of the walks. We would definitely hire Melissa again to walk Skye and Blue. Highly recommended!, Thank you Melissa!”


5. Allison C.
“Allison is an awesome pet sitter! She's responsible, sends lots of pictures/text check ins (which we love!) and always leaves our house as clean as she found it. We love her laid back personality and the fact that she has experience working in a veterinary setting - plus, our animals love her :) It makes traveling so much easier knowing that our pets are being so well taken care of.”


6. Alex L.

“Alex did great with my dogs! She made time for a meet and greet with them so they would feel comfortable when she came. Loved the updates and photos of their walk. I will be contacting Alex to walk them again in the future!”


7. Madelyn S.

“Madelyn is wonderful with my dog. He loves their time together. She follows instructions and takes professional quality photos of my pup on their walks. 🐶📷💕Her communication is always great too!”


8. Ruby N.
About: I've had two dogs my whole life and I've been expected to feed them since I was 10. My family has trusted me to take care of their pets while they were away and for a little, over a year, I've been taking care of a neighbor's elder greyhound, including walking, feeding, letting it out, and picking up after it. I'm currently a sophomore at my college which is in Aurora, NY, which means I'm strictly able to do dog walking and house sitting during the summer months or breaks from school when I'm visiting my parents in Maine. During the summer, I'd prefer to walk in the morning before it gets hot, but I can walk in the afternoon if that works better for people. I'm able to do dog walking and house sitting, but I can't have other animals at my house because my dogs tend me reactive toward other animals and people, especially other dogs that are on their property. I'm very willing to walk dogs, big or small, near a client's home or at a place nearby. I'm willing to drive if the dog has a typical walking route. I'm very flexible, especially if it makes the dog more comfortable. I've also walked and grown up around Berenese Mountain Dogs, so I know how to handle every dog breed, since I've grown up with dogs as small as Boston Terriers and as big as Great Danes and St. Bernards.


9. Kristen P.

“Kristen is reliable, trustworthy, and great with our dog Sully. He absolutely loves her! Highly recommend her to anyone looking to have someone spoil and love on your pet when you cannot!”


10. Emma B.

“Emma did a wonderful job looking after my husky Luke. She was conscientious about his special needs and was a wonderful communicator.”


11. April M.
About: I work year-round at a summer camp, and I love to take care of animals on the side. I can come to your home and look after your dog where they might be more comfortable. I have a cat at home, but I am missing my time living with dogs, so I thought that this would be the perfect compromise! I am also available to take care of any cats or other small animals that you may have at your home. When camp is not in session, I work remotely. That means I can work wherever there is wifi! More time to spend with your fur babies. I can do whatever works best for both of our schedules. I love having dogs (and cats!) come to my house, but sometimes I think it's easier for them to stay in the environment where they are the most comfortable. I am willing to accommodate what you think is best for your pet.


12. Ilsa G.

“Great job! Lots of feedback”


13. Alexis V.
“Alexis has watched my dogs several times. There is nobody I trust more with my dog. She is attentive to his needs and always goes above and beyond to make sure he is comfortable. She is responsible, punctual, and overall just a very caring person. You can tell all animals really love her. My dog gets so excited when she comes to visit!”


14. Carly W.

“2nd booking with Carly. She is just great with our dog Harley! Shares photos which show a very happy girl. Carly was able to accommodate the booking on short notice. Will definitely book again!”


15. Sheila R.
“Sheila's personality is a great fit with animals. Sheila is caring, gentle and playful. She has been around my dogs for many years, and I have seen her care for her own pets over the years. I'd feel confident and relieved having her care for any of my pets as I know she will be dedicated and sensitive to any special needs or attention a pet is requiring.”


16. Tessa N.
About: I have had animals my entire life and love meeting new ones! I would love to help your family and meet your furry friends! T I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your furry friends! I have a pretty flexible schedule and I am willing to work with you. I have a puppy of my own and she is the light of my life! She is full of life and I love brininging her on walks and playing with her. I would treat your furry friends as I treat my own !


17. Jaida L.
About: Experience with both senior cats/dogs and young cats and dogs. Currently own a senior dog (medium), but I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I currently work as a vet assistant weekends, and sometimes have class during the week. Best thing to do is reach out and see when I am available! I appreciate information about your animals routine (wether they are crated at night, times they usually go out, high enery, low energy, feeding schedule, and other things that will allow me to give the most thorough care I can) so I can properly care for them. Also please give me a heads up about food or toy aggression before hand (it doesn't necessarily mean I'll deny service I just want to be warned so I can be extra cautious)


18. Jason F.

“Professional and friendly, kept us informed and most importantly our dog liked him!”


19. Haylee L.
About: I’ve grown up around animals of all kinds - dogs and cats included. I love animals and wish to make a career out of providing pet care. I am pet first aid & CPR certified and I am bonded and insured. I strive to provide nothing but the best care possible! I have trained my service dog all by myself and have trained my other dog myself! I also have experience with training other dogs — I specialize in service dogs and problem behaviors in dogs! I do my best to be very flexible with scheduling. I do have occasional appointments but those can typically be worked around. I would very much appreciate having recurring customers, this also makes it easier to fit new clients into my scheduling. I have a portal system for easy scheduling and invoicing as well! I enjoy being active and I wish to work to become more active. I have a standard poodle who is my service dog. I also have a younger standard poodle that I have trained myself. I do not always bring my service dog with me, it is all dependent on how our dogs interact. Also if you would like for me to teach your dogs I would be happy to talk more!


20. Michael L.
“Michael L. has done a wonderful job while watching my dog, taking her out on long walks sometimes on nature trails. He makes sure to clean up for her and also talks to other animals when going by. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone needing a dog walker or for a animal sitter.”
