About: I have had dogs all my life. As well as dog sitter for friends and family. On top of basic care such as feeding and walking I can also bathe and groom them. I am home for the summer so I have an open schedule to care for your dog at anytime you need. Including weekends and holidays. In my home I have a friendly dog who loves to make friends. I take dogs on long walks through the hiking trail next to my home.

Sean loves dogs and they love him back! I just mention his name to my Labradoodle, Doris and she perks up and gets ready for her walk! Sean is punctual and flexible which really helps on a day to day basis. Five stars for Sean because he is professional, kind and motivated!

Thank you so much! Appreciate you giving Didion his walk and medicine. He seemed like he did well especially given that he hadn’t met you prior to his walk. Thank you, Dani, for being reliable and trustworthy.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, I've had a dog for 11 years, so I understand firsthand what it means to care for a pet like family. I have hands-on experience with dog sitting and walking, and I'm comfortable with daily routines, exercise needs, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable in any environment. Your dog will always be in caring, attentive hands! I work part-time, which means I have plenty of flexibility throughout the week to give dogs the time and attention they deserve. Whether it's weekday walks or weekend sitting, I'm available, your pet always comes first. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is keeping things consistent and stress-free for your dog. I follow your established routines: feeding schedules, walk times, and any house rules, so your pet feels comfortable and secure in their own space. I treat every client's home with respect, ensure doors and gates are always secure, and provide updates and photos so you always know your pup is happy and safe.

I am available for sitting all day on weekends, and weekdays after 2 pm, I can even pop by in the mornings to feed your pups. I have a fenced in yard and 3 fur babies for yours to play with. I know special tricks to get dogs to eat medicine if they need it as I’ve had many pups in need of medicine.

About: I've taken care and spent time with many breeds dogs, and have experience with drop-in visits, pet sitting, pet boarding, and dog walking. I have also trained my dog to follow simple commands such as "sit", "lay down", "shake", and "turn around" and have taught my dog and both my cats to come when they are called. I am back from college for the summer and have a very open schedule, so I have lots of time to spend with your pets! I have a big yard and live in a very walkable area. I have two cats and a little dog that all get along well with other animals.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and currently have three dogs and two cats of my own. Growing up, I gained a lot of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My mom is a veterinarian, so I’ve learned the importance of proper animal care, safety, and recognizing when something may not be right. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a priority to give each pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a lifelong pet owner with three dogs and two cats, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I always follow owners’ instructions carefully, maintain a clean and secure environment, and pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and personality. Having grown up with a veterinarian as a parent, I’m comfortable recognizing signs of stress or illness and know the importance of responsible, attentive care. I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own.

About: With personal experience raising my own 5-year-old dog and caring for neighborhood pets, I understand the importance of dependable, attentive pet care. I’m comfortable with daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, and providing updates so you feel at ease. I aim to create a calm, positive experience for every dog in my care! I am currently a physical therapy student home for summer break. I usually have full availability on weekdays and weekends. Once my clinical starts in mid July my availability will shift to only weekends. Whenever I am watching dogs, I make sure they have a collar on when going outside, make sure all gates and fences are closed, and that they have used the bathroom before I leave the house.

About: I have grown up my whole life in an animal friendly family. I have had 8 dogs and 3 cats, and I am well experienced with cats and dogs of all ages, temperaments, and sizes. I have pet sit for friends, family, and neighbors from the age of 16 on. I understand first hand the stress and anxiety of leaving your furry friends behind and will make your experience with me stress free. I currently attend Fairfield University with a very flexible schedule of no more than two classes a day. I usually up at 8:30 but I am more than happy to work around your schedule. Something I have learned from growing up with animals is to always listen to what the dog or cat is “saying” whether directly to you or not. I will care for them as if they are my own and always put them first.

About: From puppies, to kittens, to lizards, I’ve been surrounded by animals for my whole life. I’ve always had a love for dogs! From playing to cuddling, they’re overall the best! I’m in my second year of PA school and I live at home with my parents and 3 siblings, we all love animals and spend time with the pets we pet sit! I have a fenced in yard with tons of space and live at the end of a quite street, if you’re pet does not do well with other pets that’ll never be a problem since there are no other dogs being walked on our street.

I cannot recommend Nic enough! I’ve had many dog walkers over the years, and he is by far the best I’ve ever worked with. From day one, he’s been incredibly professional, communicative, reliable, and genuinely caring with my dog. He always gives detailed updates after every walk, communicates anything important, and truly goes above and beyond. I asked for at least a one-mile walk, and he consistently does close to two miles while still making sure my dog is happy, safe, and comfortable. My dog absolutely adores him and gets so excited knowing he’s coming, which says everything. Nic has such a calm, trustworthy energy about him, and it’s very clear he genuinely loves what he does. As a dog owner, there’s nothing better than knowing your dog is in caring, capable hands. I trust him completely, and anyone looking for a dependable, thoughtful, and amazing dog walker should absolutely hire him.
