About: Hello! I will give your pet the same attention and care that I give my own pets which includes constant walks, play time, and attention. I have experience with both cats and dogs so you can trust that I can effectively care for both types of pets. I will accommodate any unique needs that your dog or cat requires and will go above and beyond to ensure that your buddy is content. Whether it means letting your dog out or taking the dog for long walks totaling more than 30 minutes— I ran cross country in high school so I’m happy to tire your dog out making them ideal company for when you return! Since I have had multiple dogs and cats at one time I know how to handle a confrontation between two pets. If a dangerous situation arises I will always keep the pet safe! I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I will offer flexibility with scheduling along with the quality care. This included walks whenever needed as I have the ability to work fully remote. I lack space within my apartment to keep dogs but I'm accommodating to any of the owner's preferences within their home including crating whenever is needed.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for my co-workers and friends for the past several years while they traveled out of town for an extended amount of time. I make sure to check-in every day, feed them, and make sure they get enough attention. I am raising money for marathons I have signed up for over the next year. I’m preparing to run the Marine Corps Marathon and aim to run the Boston Marathon. I usually work evenings from 3-11pm Wednesdays through Sundays and I will have time to take care of your pet in the mornings before I get ready for work. When I am in charge of your pet, I make sure sure they have the food the need to remain healthy, give them a walk when they need it, and provide them with enough attention.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals big and small furry or reptilian! I’m comfortable with different energy levels and sizes and willing to put in the work to get to know your pet and make sure they are comfortable! I work from home with very flexible hours so I can accommodate many different schedules during business hours and throughout the rest of the day I live in an apartment so will not be caring for pets in my home, but I am very careful and thorough with all pet care instructions.

About: My family adopted our first puppy when I was 10. Since then, we've adopted 2 more and I've helped with all of the responsibilities, and of course enjoyed all of the cuddly benefits. have experience with both big and small dogs I work from home so my schedule is flexible and am mostly available during the work day. I enjoy spending time outside, and would love to have the opportunity to bring a furry friend along with me on my daily walks. I live in a safe neighborhood with a backyard. Although not fenced in, I live on a residential street. Also happy to bring pets into my home when necessary

“Chris is absolutely great! He is wonderful with our two dogs and they know how nice of a guy he is. Chris has dogwalked and dogsat for us and am so happy we have him nearby for when we need him. He is also great with communication and responsiveness. Highly recommend Chris if you are in need of any kind of dog care 😊”


About: I have 6 dogs in my life, and have never known a life without pets. Animals are my pride and joy, and I am very experienced in handling all types of dogs and cats. I want what’s best for you and your fur baby, and I always make sure to have open communication. I currently don’t drive, but can walk, use public transportation, or sometimes get a ride from a family member if needed. I am a student in community college, and am looking into making pet sitting into my part time job, and eventually a full time job to support my artistic endeavors. I have availability all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and the rest of the weeks I have availability starting around 4-5. My earliest class is 11, so if planned far enough ahead, I can even do an early morning, and I’m looking forward to doing overnight stays. I have a fenced in backyard with two other doggies, Riley and Willow. I will nurture your pet, and will always follow the instructions given to me by the client. It’s so important to me to do what’s best for the pet, and will be attentive to their needs.

About: I’ve grew up with dogs since I was 2 years old and I’ve always been attached to them. Any family member who had a dog, I’d always be over and take them on walks, feed and bathe them..it was always just an automatic reaction for me. In middle school, my cousin and I raised money by coming up with a dog walking job. We use to make signs after school and post them and/or walk with them. We got about 2 pet owners. Just recently, I was heading to work and found an oversized bull dog walking in the middle street and people trying to make her get out of it. I immediately stopped my car and wouldn’t leave until I got her in my car and my spouse and I went and got her food. My manager ended up taking her to the animal rescue. So, dogs have always been apart of my life! I currently work part time so I’ll be available majority of the time to care for your pet needs with no problem! I also have a 16 month old son so certain hours will be his nap time but I will give details when booked. I have two small fur babies and a toddler that will keep your pet company, we have a yard where exercise and fresh air will be guaranteed. If needed your pet can be crated at ur proposal.

Steffen B.
“Steffen is one of the kindest most compassionate people I know. He is truly one of the good people in this world and I trust him like family. I know he will take great care of your family member because he has a great work ethic and just genuinely cares which is honestly so rare. I’m lucky to have him as a friend and any pet he cares for will feel the same!”


Brittany A.
“Brittany did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of our dog, Halee. From the moment we met her, we knew Halee would be in gentle and capable hands. Brittany followed Halee’s routine down to a T—from feeding and walks to playtimes in the yard—which made Halee feel safe, happy, and right at home. Every day, Brittany sent us thoughtful updates with photos and little anecdotes that truly captured Halee’s personality. That made all the difference while we were away—we could relax and enjoy our time knowing Halee was content and well cared for. Brittany’s calm confidence and loving attitude put both us—and Halee—at ease. When we returned, the house was tidy, and Halee was so relaxed she didn’t even notice we were gone. It’s clear that Brittany not only provided excellent care but also genuinely bonded with her. We can’t recommend Brittany enough—she’s professional, trustworthy, and clearly loves what she does. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat!”
