“Kylie is a wonderful walker! We are so happy we’ve found her!! She shows up on time for Charlie’s walks, is a great communicator and is flexible to what Charlie needs. I highly recommend Kylie!!”


“Even when I booked last minute, they still found time to do a meet and greet. They are very professional and kind. My dog absolutely loves Adam! Great team.”


About: I have taken care of dogs for about five years. My girl loves hiking and long walks. I love taking pups on long walks to tire them out!! I am currently going to school with a pretty open schedule. Looking for odd jobs to fill in the gaps and make a little bit on the side. I have a friendly fixed female who is crate trained. I also have a fenced in yard but prefer walks around the block with pups.

“Thanks so much for taking care of them on such short notice . Appreciate the update :-)”


“Tara has been great. She took my three dogs on a walk and then played with them. She takes good care especially of my 3-month old puppy. I feel like my dogs are safe with her and she’s extreme communicative! She’s really great and I will definitely use her again!”


“Jenna did a great job walking my 2 girls. She was right on time and was a sweet, caring person that you can tell loves animals. I was very pleased and will be using her again. I was also happy with Rover. 5 stars + for both.”


About: I've been looking after dogs and cats since I was 12! They've ranged from my grandma's shitzu to dog sitting mastiffs! I've even watched reptiles like ball pythons and geckos. I've walked, bathed, fed, watered, and loved them the whole time. I, myself, have 2 bunnies, fish, and a ball python. All together the most dogs I've ever watched at the same time was 28! It was 5 adults dogs, one puppy the equivalent to a toddler, and 22 puppies! At the moment I'm hoping that pet care will become a full-time job. At the moment I am able to do any day and any time. I, sadly, do not have a cute puppy or kitty to play with your fur baby, however it just means they get more love from me! I can lift a 75 pound dog if needed and have the resources to contain one if necessary.

About: I have experience living with and caring for two Stabyhouns, as well as providing care for both a kitten and an adult cat. Additionally, I am familiar with accommodating the needs of senior animals, including specialized diets and supporting pets with nervous temperaments. I’d love to meet your pets and show them the same love and attention I’d give my own. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet to make sure I’m the perfect fit for your needs! Pet care can easily fit into my routine, and I am flexible with my availability to accommodate the needs of the pets and their owners. I am happy to adjust my schedule as needed to ensure the best care possible. I provide attentive pet care in clients' homes, ensuring pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of companionship. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs, including walks, playtime, and following special routines for senior or nervous animals.

About: I have taken care of my family dog in many different capacities since I was 6 years old, and I enjoy walking, playing with, or just being active around all different kinds of dogs! I currently work at a middle school, so my summers, weekends, and afternoons are generally free! I also live in a pet-friendly home and a great spot for walks near the downtown New Bedford area. I make sure pets I’m taking care of can get a proper amount of attention and activity, so it feels like less of a scary change and more of a fun playdate.


“Naomi is wonderful! Walking our two dogs throughout the busy streets of Manhattan is not always a “walk in the park” but Naomi always seems to find great places and furrfriends to say hi to during the walks. She is so knowledgeable and patient with our rambunctious pups - we couldn’t thank her enough!”


“I utilized Lynne for daily walks/checkins for my dog while I was at work. Lynne was beyond amazing. She was reliable and flexible with my schedule, I always knew I could count on her. My dog is older and has some health issues and limitations, Lynne was great at taking these into consideration when caring for Neela. She was very gentle and patient, and Neela loved her for it. I highly recommend Lynne and the services she provides.”


About: I've had all types of animals growing up. From small critters to dogs. Currently own 2 cats named Sasha and Coco, chickens and have 3 freshwater fish tanks. I've house/pet sit for friends over the years. I have pretty good flexibility everyday for short visits > 2 hours. I have two young children in school so depending on time frame one might have to accompany me but if not needed I can work around it. My cats are pretty self sufficient as cats are but they are fed every morning and evening and get treats. They are indoor cats aged 7 and 8. I feed fish daily and do water changes once a week as Maintenance. Chickens are a bit more daily maintenance with cleaning out coop everyday and filling water and feeder but it's rewarding (especially with getting eggs)

About: I’ve had many pets as a kid, I love the company of animals! Fun fact I am CPR and BLS certified, and I am a Certified Medical Assistant! Summer time is approaching so i am now free mostly everyday! mornings and noon time are perfect for me and my schedule at the moment!! I am a big sister so i’m always taking care of the young ones! I care for pets in anyway shape or form I can to ensure their comfortable!

“Linda was amazing with our girl Luna. She was prompt to pick her up and took her to the park to play with her fur friends followed by a nice long walk. Luna was so happy and tired when she got back home, which was perfect for a nice relaxing afternoon. Thanks again Linda, we will book again soon.”


“Molly was able to help us out in a pinch and came to walk our dog Frannie same day. She was very communicative and friendly. It is very clear she has a love for dogs! We definitely recommend her!”


About: Dogs and cats are better company than humans most days! I would love to hang out with your animals and keep them company. I’m a college student who misses her animals at home so I’ll be happy to spend as much time with your animals as you need. I have two dogs and two cats at home, and have always had animals in my home. I’m pretty comfortable with cleaning up after potty training accidents. My aunt had four Great Danes so I have experience around big dogs. No dog is too big or small for me! My last dog lived to 18 so I have experience with old pups, and puppies also. My schedule is open. During the fall and winter, I will have less time. Weekdays, during the morning and afternoon are open! As the fall and winter progress, I will update my schedule since I will be going back to school. My partner and I are currently renovating our home so our house is not open for care. I would be more comfortable with walking your furbaby, or caring for them at your home once we have met!

“Jessica was on time and our dogs loved her! We will definitely use her again!”


About: Over 20 years of experience with pets- I trained my very first dog at only 10 years old! I grew up with a Great Pyrenees and am experienced with large / xl breeds. I absolutely love dogs and animals in general. I have two precious dogs of my own currently who I love more than anything. I’d be thrilled to care for your dog! I work remotely full time as a software engineer! Your pets are welcome to hang out with us for the day when you’re busy. Weekends I can provide even more active care since I have the days off. I have a fenced in yard but depending on your pets needs I can take them out on leash still. I let the dogs out to play frequently, every 2-4 hours.

“Anna is incredibly sweet and attentive to our German Shepherd! We've appreciated her flexibility in scheduling and her daily photos of her with our dog-baby.”


“Josh was great! He was always on time and my dog loved him. He took my dog on energetic walks and my dog always came home tired. I would definitely recommend him for anyone looking for a dog walker.”

“Even when I booked last minute, they still found time to do a meet and greet. They are very professional and kind. My dog absolutely loves Adam! Great team.”


Ixia A.
“From the moment she first met Madison, our lively Labrador Retriever, it was clear that Ixia had a natural connection with dogs. Her warmth, professionalism, and incredible attention to detail made every walk and care session a stress-free experience for both Madison and us. She not only ensured Madison got plenty of exercise but also took the time to engage her in thoughtful play, reinforcing positive behaviors and making their time together fun and stimulating. Madison would always return home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Beyond that, Ixia was consistently punctual, responsible, and went the extra mile—whether it was bringing fresh water, wiping Madison’s paws after a muddy adventure, or keeping us updated with adorable photos from their outings. If you're looking for a dog walker who treats your furry companion like family and provides service that is above and beyond, Ixia is the one you need. We are so grateful for her dedication, kindness, and expertise. Madison absolutely adores her, and we couldn’t be happier!”

“Leolani is a caring responsible young woman with a kind heart. She absolutely loves all animals and is incredibly thoughtful and attentive to the needs of others and animals. She has grown up around all different types of animals. Her home was never without a canine companion or two as well as a few cats. She has experience taking care of many types of animals including but not limited to dogs, cats, horses, bunnies & goats. I would trust her to take care of all of my pets in a heartbeat. I have a dog that is a rescue who was very timid when he first arrived in my home. Leolani formed a special relationship with my pup and he does not cower in fear as he has with so many others. Leolani would be a trustworthy caretaker for any animal.”
