Bridget walked my dog, and she was excellent. I trusted her to go into my home without my being there. She’s very communicative, friendly, and is wonderful with my pup. I will definitely use her again!

Julie did a great job. She and my dog connected right away and I felt safe and secure with having him be in her care. She was responsive, professional and follow-through on all that we agreed on. I highly recommend her and will be calling upon her in the future as the need presents itself.

About: Hello, I’m Kathryn, but feel free to call me Katie. Having worked at the ASPCA for almost seven years, animal welfare is truly at the core of everything I do. My priority is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. I am reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping your dog healthy and happy with meaningful exercise. I provide longer, quality walks, structured play sessions tailored to your dog’s energy level, and one-on-one companionship so your pet feels cared for throughout the day. What I offer • Consistent, clear communication • Detailed updates with photos • Longer walks • Safe handling, comfort, and routine care • A calm and patient approach Availability • Weekdays: early mornings, mid-day, after work, and late evenings • Weekends: flexible with advance notice I know my rates look a little higher, but that reflects my experience, professionalism, and the level of attention your pet will receive. I am more than happy to hop on a quick call to answer any questions before booking. I can also provide personal referrals if needed. A little about me: I have two cats, Linus and Liam, who are my whole world. I also adore dogs and grew up with several breeds including a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Cocker Spaniel, Mini Schnauzer, and a Bernese Mountain Dog. I hope to rescue a Great Dane someday, but until then I pour all my dog-love into the pups I care for. Skills • Leash training • Basic obedience and tricks • Brushing, baths, simple grooming • Agility exposure (from working with a Bernese) I would love the chance to care for your best friend and make sure they feel happy and comfortable until you return. I work from home, so pet care fits easily into my routine, and my schedule is very flexible. On weekdays, I’m available in the early mornings, mid-day, after work, and into the evening. I’m also able to help on weekends with a little advance notice. I have two cats at home, so I prefer to care for dogs in their owner's home. This has always worked well when I watch my friends’ dogs, as I typically stay at their house or apartment for extended periods while they’re away. It allows their pup to stay in a familiar, comfortable environment with their usual routines, rather than introducing new animals or unnecessary stress. My focus is always on making sure your dog feels safe, relaxed, and at home.

About: I’ve grown up with Beagles and work well with all breeds and ages. I strongly believe that every dog deserves a day out on the town (or maybe just a walk around it). I’m free most weekends and various times during the day. I can do early mornings or late nights, happy to spend time with any dog throughout the day. I knock and ring the doorbell always first, just so the dogs know I’m coming (if they don’t already), walk in, greet everyone and wish the dogs a good morning, feed and water them, then let them have their breakfast and take them on a walk afterwards, always making sure to clean up after them when I first get there and definitely before I leave.

I am mostly free during the weekdays and some evenings. I also will have varying Sunday availability. At this time I will not be able to bring any pets into my home but I am comfortable spending time with your pet in your home. I love long walks with your pups and trips to nearby dog parks.

About: Hello animal lovers! My name is Jonathan and I'm 33 years old. Being in the army for 13 years has given me attention to detail and discipline. I absolutely love being around dogs and seeing them roam around, play and be happy. I take great pleasure in caring for them. On our walks we go around the neighborhood, play in the back yard and give them plenty of scratchies. My dog is family and so as yours. Any dog that steps paw into my home is family as well. So, feel at ease and know that your best bud is being cared for with love! I have a natural love for all animals and creating that special bond with them. I have about 17 years of caring experience with mostly dogs and 1.5 yrs with cats. All different breeds in order from Dalmatian, rescue dogs, Miniature Schnauzer and now currently my English Bull Terrier. I reassure you that your family member will be treated like a baby with love, care and safety. While your dog is with me I will attempt to teach your dog tricks; sit, stay, shake paw and stay(hold) till food is given upon your request (Treats must be provided). My stay home wife and I rotate between our schedules to give the best care possible for all the furr babies that step into our home. I have a fenced yard with one friendly dog. I have plenty of space if you prefer to bring a crate. If you have any concern from your dog being an escape artist. I have a LED light color that glows to see the dog easier. As well a GPS collar for any extra measurements that would have to be taken.
