About: Hello! My name is Skylar; I am 26 years old, my family has owned dogs my whole life, I own a dog and two cats! I currently work at a daytrain facility for dogs and am on my way to eventually becoming a dog trainer! I am relatively flexible as I work around my jobs schedule but I always provide the upmost care for animals. As a dog lover, I’m here to ensure that your family members stay happy and safe while you’re away! I currently work part time at a daytrain facility for dogs, typically in the afternoons - So I am available mostly in the mornings and evenings ( after 6 pm)! I am able to provide walks if needed (or if there is no fenced in yard), as well as special diets and medications as needed!

“Evelyn went above and beyond taking care of our two dogs. She came to the meet and greet with paper and pen to take notes, which ensured me we had made the right choice in contacting Evelyn. She checked in and sent multiple updates through the time she was with the dogs. We will 100% be working with Evelyn again when we need someone to care for our dogs.”

About: Hi there! I’m Net.🙂 I’m the go-to gal of my friends and family for watching their four-legged kid - and I love that reputation. I’m here to help ease those worries of last-minute changes to your everyday itinerary or lessen stress when being cross-country on travel - I get that because being there has done the same! And what is more of a bonus for me to make another pal? Seems like a win-win situation if you ask me. For as long as I can remember, I have always been fascinated and compassionate when it comes to animals. They have always been one of my favorite things in this world. Growing up with birds, rabbits, cats, dogs, you name it - really helped that love grow and helped me to also learn how to be responsible, coordinate time management and even how to properly take care of them along the way at a young age. Fast-forward - I took the next step to wanting to know and learn more about them. So I signed myself up back in 2017 and took an online course to more knowledge and become a vet assistant where I later on finished my hours at a local vet hospital. I was taught valuable skills, such as patience in the field, restraint techniques, administering medication and the importance of detail, etc. I even have some background in doggy daycare! What can I say? I can’t get enough of these little guys. Learning everything from grooming and bathing techniques, to animal behavior of personalities and the ability to understand each animal’s needs and anxieties. Don’t forget the play! I’ll even put on a good jam for us too and break out in a dance party. Putting more experience under my belt in something that fills my soul and cup. I always say when you enjoy something you love it first, and it’s a job second. Hopefully, I’ll have the opportunity and chance to meet your dog, too! 🐶🤍 I’m currently working early in the morning, so I have a lot of downtime to take care of and hang out with your little one(s). Monday through Saturday, I’m free after 12:30pm and all day Sundays. Occasionally, I could have an extra day off during the middle of the week. Just shoot me a message! I will be more than happy to accommodate what I can. I have a whole pack at home myself. Did I mention that? Yup! Five in total to be exact. Ranging from all different breeds, the oldest is almost 13 and the youngest just turned 1. So keeping them occupied is definitely something we have adjusted and accommodated to. We have a whole fenced-in yard, a toy box that can't fit much left, walks are a very essential part of our daily life and activity, and we tend to rotate our pack in groups from going to breweries/wineries, to hikes and even events such as dog parks, farmers market and whatever else events tend to be happening at the time. If this is something you're interested in acclimating and a small dose over time, happy to bring them along with! Of course, the occasional cupcakes and cookies I make for my kids at home. Let me know if they have any allergies and I will be happy to bring a small bag over when I stop by! 🙂

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly understand their needs! I’ve trained my personal service animal, fostered pups in need, and already dog-sit for wonderful owners in the North Park community. Plus, I work from home, so your dog will get plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Whether they need playtime, training reinforcement, or just a cozy cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel right at home! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! Since I work from home full-time, your pup will have plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for weekend boarding and can accommodate weekday care after 12 PM—unless we’ve planned and confirmed a schedule that works best for your dog’s specific needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel loved and comfortable! 🐾 Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a loving, structured environment tailored to their needs. My dog, Luca, is a great companion and will help keep your pup company. We have a routine of three walks a day, ensuring plenty of exercise and outdoor time. I also provide mental enrichment activities, assist with crate training, and even reinforce sign language for dogs—a valuable skill that benefits all pups, especially as they age and may experience hearing loss. Your dog will be in great hands, getting the care, attention, and training they need to thrive! 🐾

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for 3 years in my own life, including elderly dogs with dementia so I know well the patience and love each and every animal needs and deserves! I’m working a part time job so I have ample time to care for your animals or take them for nice walks! I’d love to give as much time as possible to them! I’d make sure to follow their routines in their own home and will make sure they are as safe and happy as can possibly be!

“Sally is the best! This is the second time that she has stayed with our dog, Sybil. Sybil was so excited when Sally arrived at our house, she adores Sally and Sally takes excellent care of her. They have so much fun together, going on walks and playing with Sybil's favorite toys. I highly recommend Sally! I know that Sybil will be thrilled to hang out with her again in the future!”

“Catherine was amazing very caring with the dogs updated me often sent lots of pictures. Was a pleasure meeting her she is a great person and will definitely call her again.”

About: I have always cared for, loved & owned dogs for as long as I can remember. I love to walk so why not combine two loves into one lovely hobby! I live close to the Ashuwillticook Trail and the Greylock Glen where we will have great fun. Can’t wait to meet your special pup & make him/her the happiest hound in town. Whatever it takes I aim to please & pamper your PAWSOME pet! ❤️ 🐶😺 ❤️ I've always cared for, loved & owned cats as well. I would love to meet your special friend & build the fondest feline memories. As for all those small critters, I have experience with many different kinds including fish, hamsters, gerbils, parakeets, ferrets, rabbits and more. Volunteered at Animal Dreams shelter for a series of weeks through a service learning program at MCLA. I work part time as a nurse & ski instructor in the winter. I would love to help out with all of your pet care needs. I'm dependable & ready, snow, sleet, wind, rain or shine with references available upon request. I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon to set up a meet & greet with you & your main squeeze 😍 My schedule is moderately flexible. I would love to become a full time Rover girl in the future. I love all animals. I believe they are vulnerable creatures and most rely on humans to care for & protect them. If you are without a vehicle or your work schedule is super rigid I can pick up or drop off your fur-ever-luv if needed. I would love to help out anyway that I can. I own two dog friendly cats & I will look after your pet as if she/he were my own. I will do everything I can to make it the safest, most comfortable and memorable experience for your special pet.

About: My experience in pet care began during my childhood on my grandparents’ farm, where I was surrounded by a wide variety of animals every day. From an early age, I learned the importance of responsibility, compassion, and attentive care. I gained hands-on experience feeding, grooming, and nurturing animals of all kinds—including dogs, cats, livestock, and small animals—each with their own unique needs and personalities. More than just daily routines, I developed strong, loving bonds with the animals I cared for, treating them as family. That foundation shaped my deep understanding of animal behavior and my commitment to providing patient, personalized, and reliable care for every pet I work with. I bring a deep love and understanding of dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From playful pups to sweet seniors, I tailor each walk to fit their needs. I prioritize safety, communication, and fun—always engaging with your dog and even teaching basic cues like sit, stay, and wait during our adventures. I’m passionate about nature and I believe dogs thrive when they can safely explore their environment —sniffing the breeze, feeling the grass under their paws, and soaking up the world around them. I’m dependable, energetic, and treat every dog like my own. Whether it’s a gentle stroll or a playful outing, your pup will be in great hands and have a tail-wagging good time! Dog walking fits perfectly into my current routine. I’m a part-time healthcare worker with a consistent schedule, working from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Outside of those hours, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability and plenty of time to dedicate to your pup. I truly enjoy incorporating walks into my day—they keep me active, bring me joy, and let me connect with more wonderful dogs. Your dog will receive dependable, loving care from someone who’s already made this a part of daily life. Safety, trust, and a positive environment are at the heart of every walk I take. I prioritize clean, open, and dog-friendly spaces—like the Rail-Trail, local parks, and secure walking paths—where pups can enjoy fresh air and nature safely. I always use leash control, stay highly observant of their behavior, and make sure every walk is calm, comfortable, and secure. Whether we’re exploring a quiet trail or playing at a safe dog park, your dog’s well-being is my top priority. You can trust that your pup is in caring, capable, and experienced hands every step of the way.

About: Compassionate and experienced pet caregivers with a proven track record of providing top-notch care for dogs, including those with special needs. I am skilled in managing medical conditions such as convulsions and cancer, and I take a gentle, loving approach with every pet. I’m also well-versed in supervising curious eaters who love to snack on anything they can find! My husband, Nick, and I work as a team to ensure pets are cared for throughout the day. I’m home until 3 PM to handle mornings, walks, and plenty of daytime love and attention. Nick takes over in the evenings and overnight, so your pets continue to receive care, comfort, and companionship. Above all, we shower every furry friend with affection, making sure they feel safe, happy, and adored while in our home. As a dog walker, pet care is a regular part of my morning routine. I typically schedule dog walks Monday through Saturday, usually between , 8am-12pm. This allows me to provide a fun and energizing start to the day for the dogs in my care. I provide fun and safe dog walking services, giving your furry friend the exercise and attention they deserve. Here's how I care for your dog: - 30-minute to 1-hour walks tailored to your dog's individual needs and energy level - Safe and secure walks on a leash, with regular checks for comfort and happiness - Plenty of praise, affection, and treats to keep your dog happy and engaged - Regular updates and photos so you can stay connected with your dog's adventure Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priority.

About: I have been in the dog world for about 6 years now. I have experience in kennel work, grooming, protection training, and also breeding. I love my dogs just as family and would love to be that loving uncle for you pet when the busy schedule of life is happening. I currently working full time as a dog groomer but can always find the time to take care of you beloved pet family member. Im very flexible around my work schedule. For boarding I will stay at the client's home because its a little better for the dog to be in an environment that he/she knows.

“Bella is highly recommended. With a last minute change in my plans, Bella was right there to help out. There was never a doubt that Mac & Cheez weren’t being loved as she sent frequent updates and photos of my babies. I’m so grateful and will definitely reach out to her again.”

“Lindsay was great with Waldo. Would definitely have her again.”
