“Amber is great! Charlie is usually shy when he meets a new person, but he warmed up to her right away! She took him on a nice, long walk and sent great pictures. I feel confident using her routinely going forward! 10/10!”

“Jo has been a good friend for many years. She loves animals and has spent a lot of effort studying dog training. She has worked with dogs and helped with rescue dogs. I have an English golden retriever. My dog Ellie loves Jo. Jo has walked with Ellie and me. Jo is always firm but gentle. She has worked hard to understand dog behavior. I recommend Jo to care for pets.”

5. Patrick & Susan D.

“Wonderful dog walkers. Pat was critical to helping me successfully interview for a job (including full days of Zoom) without whiny dogs in the background and was highly responsive and flexible in scheduling. We are looking forward to boarding our dogs with them and only wish they had greater availability (but of course, top dog walkers/boarders are busy!).”


6. Felicity K.
About: I’ve always had pets in my household, and I’m an avid pet lover, with years of experience for both cats and dogs. I’m flexible, willing to work with any requests, and more importantly, I’m sure to get along with your fuzzy friends! Day to day, I work inconsistent hours at a part time job. Regardless, I can always make time for my precious pets. I make time for them, feeding them the occasional treat and refilling their water, even adding a few ice cubes when it’s hot. I can train dogs, I love to take walks with pets, can easily crate dogs if needed, and I bring a gentle and friendly approach to any timid or skittish animal.


7. Alexis D.
“Lexi has been grooming our dogs (a Golden Retriever and Lab) for years. She's loved and cared for our boys like they were her own; and they are always excited to see her. Lexi is so pleasant & professional and always very well prepared. Lexi does an EXCELLENT job and I recommend her highly, she is great with my dogs!”


8. Kaylee B.

“Kaylee walked my dog daily while I was on vacation. She was prompt, professional and gave my dog a little extra TLC every day. She sent pictures and daily updates. I would definitely recommend Kaylee!”


9. Sarah N.

“Sarah was great! She walked our dog on last minute notice when we had to go out of town for the day. Our dog seemed happy and well cared for. Will definitely book again!”


10. Richard V.
“Good afternoon, my name is Michael Carter and I have known Richard V for many years. I am writing this on the behalf of his experience and relationship with not only dogs but all animals. Never have I seen anyone such as Richard befriend an animal the way that he does. He is not only a loving and nurturing spirit but sometimes I even wonder if he was a dog in a past life. His instant connection with animals fortifies a jealousy within myself and those around him. Any animal lover would be lucky to have him watch and care over their beloved animal.”


11. Lindi B.
“Lindi is a fantastic dog mama and she watches my dog whenever I’m away. She is very flexible, caring and provides plenty of attention and cuddles. She sends pictures and videos throughout the stay and provides plenty of updates. I always recommend Lindi to anyone who needs a pet sitter. Her dog Jules is a complete sweetheart too who is well trained and gets along great with my animals.”


12. Katelyn B.

“I’m very happy with the job Katelyn is doing and would definitely recommend her to anyone else. Katelyn has been sending me cute pictures from each walk and has an eye for the camera. She seems to genuinely care about the welfare of my puppy.”


13. Ashleigh B.
“I highly recommend Ashleigh. When I had to leave my baby boy for the first time, she was amazing! She sent me updates and pictures to make me more at ease and it was a smooth process with great communication.”


14. Sarah M.

“Thank you so much for walking Zoey faithfully everyday and sending all the photos - and especially for responding to and accepting my request so quickly when my previously booked dog walker had to cancel at the last minute. Zoey will miss you and probably be looking for you for several days ;-)”


15. Annmarie S.
“Annie is an avid animal lover and owner. She has numerous animals of her own that are care for impeccably as well as sitting for family members dogs on a regular basis for vacations. She will love your animals as much as you do!”


16. Shannon D.
“I highly recommend Shannon to care for any animal whether it is a long walk or pet sitting in my home. Shannon is very caring and responsible she has many years experience caring for dogs. She is energetic and loves to exercise. Shannon is reliable and accommodating to pets and their owners needs. Having Shannon care for your dog will put your mind at ease knowing they are well cared for. Again, highly recommend 😊”


17. Rachel D.

“I appreciate Rachel’s prompt walking of my dog!”


18. Camille W.
“Camille is great with my pets. One is food aggressive and the other was a rescue that was neglected and can be fearful of people. They both lover her so much and wag their tails everytime she watches them. She also is a dog groomer so has experience with brushing and these types of breeds. I would highly recommend!”


19. Annemarie F.
About: From Chis to Schnauzers to gerbils, finches, Petrie the snapping turtle and many cats, one very commanding tom named Spartacus in particular, I’ve loved and lived with animals my whole life and made some of my best friends. I’m an extremely organized, punctual, logical person, and artist. I live in Stafford Springs and it’s an awesome community of dog owners! I’m located right in town, very close to Hyde Park (great hiking paths, bird watching, open fields and lots of interesting smells, walks and runs) and I own my own home. I have plenty of space for your pooch on rainy days as well as overnights. I have been through several years of obedience training with my dog Newman and am familiar with many different type of breeds and personalities. My schedule is very flexible and I am home 80 % of the time. Right now, I have three cats (Ollie, Piper Maru, and Mulder) as well as three dogs (Mini, Banjo, and Felix) I would love to meet and care for your best friend. I work PT weekdays locally, so have lots of flexibility to work with your schedule needs and do my best to respond in the most timely fashion possible. I also have several pets that I care for in my own home. I have recently relocated to Stafford Springs from a row home in South Philly and my fur babies are loving it. They love their big giant yard, plentiful access to hiking trails, and the many rooms my new house has to romp and play in.


20. Roxanne R.
“Roxanne is absolutely great with all kinds of animals. Her experience with caring for animals throughout her life in combination with her animal science degree makes her not only a great caretaker but also extremely knowledgeable. She is very responsible and loving towards animals and is truly an animal advocate.”
