About: I've always had dogs in my life, primarily large breeds, and currently own three dogs and three cats. I helped raise a litter of seven puppies from birth to 12 weeks, giving me extensive experience with puppy care and development. I've also dog-sat for family friends many times and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so both you and your pet can feel at ease. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work freelance for a marketing agency from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care, walks, playtime, and companionship. I also stream online and bartend one evening per week, but my schedule allows me to be available throughout the day and accommodate most pet care needs. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routines and making sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. Since I only offer care in clients' homes, my goal is to keep your pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine in a familiar environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication administration (if needed), playtime, and any special care requirements. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and routine. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, active play, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I make sure they receive the attention and care they need while you're away. I also respect and care for your home as if it were my own, keeping things clean, secure, and providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're gone.
“I had a last-minute need for a dog walker and was lucky to find Sabrina. She arrived on time, took my dog on a nice, long walk, and even went above and beyond by putting my trash can back. Communication was excellent. Highly recommend!”
“Hailey is a great find! She walked my puppy, Andy at 6:30 in the mornings. I needed to make scheduling changes a few times and she got back to me quickly and was very flexible. My puppy is in training and Hailey followed through on all of his training skills for me. Thank you!”
About: I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including senior pets and those who require medication or special routines. I’m also comfortable with crate training, leash training, and socializing dogs in a calm, safe way. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which gives me the ability to offer care throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and some holidays. Whether your dog needs a slow, relaxing walk or an energetic play session, I adjust my care style to meet their needs. I’m happy to stick to your pet’s feeding, potty, and medication schedule exactly as you outline it. In my home, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your furry friend can feel safe and comfortable. I keep my space tidy, supervise pets at all times, and make sure they have access to fresh water, cozy resting spots, and lots of affection. I maintain their regular routines as closely as possible—whether that’s mealtime, walks, potty breaks, or downtime—so they feel secure and at ease even while away from home. In a client’s home, I treat the space with complete respect and care, as if it were my own. I follow all instructions closely and stick to your pet’s usual routine so they experience minimal disruption. Whether it’s administering medication, preparing special meals, or managing multiple pets, I make sure everything is done exactly how you prefer. I always provide updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, their safety, comfort, and happiness come first.
About: Hi! I’m Gianna and I am a lifelong animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up in a family that always had two or three dogs, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for German Shepherds, Schipperkes, and Chihuahuas, and I’ve also looked after Shepherds, Pit Bull mixes, Labrador Retrievers, and many other breeds. Whether your dog is large or small, energetic or laid-back, I’m committed to providing them with the attention, love, and care they deserve. In addition to dogs, I grew up horseback riding and spending countless hours on farms surrounded by horses, goats, chickens, barn cats, and farm dogs. Being around animals has always been one of my greatest passions. I treat every pet as if they were my own family. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and reliable hands. I am currently a teacher on summer break, so I have a very open and flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. When the school year begins, I am still available before school, during lunch breaks (if your home is close enough), as well as after school and in the evenings. I care for every pet as if they were my own. Whether that means cuddling on the couch, relaxing together, going on long walks, or visiting dog parks, I always tailor my care to meet each dog’s individual needs and personality. If your pet stays with me, they will have free access to my apartment and are welcome on the couch and bed if that’s what they’re used to. I want them to feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home during their stay. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your space with the utmost respect and keep it clean and just as you left it. I aim to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and secure while you’re away.
About: Skill and ability with empathy to take care of cherished companions. The care and service given is a reflection of my ability to go above and beyond as needed for animals and people alike. In my excess time, morning, evenings and afternoon I’m happy to help with the needs of clients pets as the needs arise, I know how stressful it can be to not have help when you need it. Allow me to take some of the weight off and help you and your pet thrive. I have to cats currently, 2, both rescues who are inside cats and loved on throughout everyday. Cats require constant daily care for messes and feeding and litter tidying.
About: My name is Katiana Thoby and I have been dog sitting since 2017. I am able to watch your cute pets any time of the week (unless the day is marked off)! You will love my patience, kindness, and affection towards the dog. I've watched my friends' dogs before and learned how to work with them and take care of them properly. I enjoyed playing some games like fetch and running around with them. Since my parents don't like animals, I can't have my own dog. When I have my own house, I want a dog of my own so this will be a good experience for me. Thank you and I hope to work with you soon.. I am currently working full time so I will be available to dog sit on the weekends or tuesdays after 5:30pm! Just let me know in advance and I can open a booking for you. I will be available on some holidays but I will let you know in advance! Please make sure to book at least two days in advance. That way, I can make sure I don’t have any other appointments that day. I may accommodate some last minute bookings if I am available the whole stay period. Most of the time, they stay indoors and I attend to them as much as possible! They will be fed on the times provided and well taken care of! If you would like me to provide a bath as well, please let me know. I love playing with them so I usually bring your pets to the park as long as the owner is okay with it (also provides a leash)!
“Nic was absolutely great to work with and our two dogs loved him. He showed up on time, took them for great walks, and always left a nice little report with several pictures. Highly recommend Nic if you’re looking for a reliable dog walker and someone to do drop in visits.”
“Taylor has been wonderful with Moose. I am very happy having Taylor take care of him. She does a great job of communicating when she arrives, during her time with him, and after she leaves. I highly recommend Taylor walking and caring for your pet.”
About: I am currently a dog mom of 2 looking to help care for your pup! I am well-versed in dog training and can work on things that you might be working on at home. I raised my pup from 8 weeks old and she is currently 6. My mom rescues/fosters senior dogs so I am familiar with them as well. I feel comfortable with dogs of all sizes. As a dog mom myself, I know how stressful it can be to find a place you feel comfortable leaving your pup. I want to be that place for you! I am a teacher in CT. During the week I’m happy to drop in after work, around 4! You can ensure that your pup will get plenty of walks and playtime outside of my working hours. I know how important normalcy and routines are, so I strive to make your pups stay as comfortable as possible. Whatever routines and rules are in place at their own home I would try to keep in place!
About: I have experience caring for all kinds of pets. I've always been an animal lover and have had many pets of my own. I have also been trusted with caring for other people's pets since I was a child. I have extensive experience with dogs, cats, small mammals, and birds (including chickens and ducks). I also have experience with elderly and disabled pets. My elderly dog became paralyzed during the last year of her life, as a result I am very comfortable caring for animals with special needs. I am self employed and have a flexible schedule that allows me to be home when I need to be. I care for my own cats, dog, and chickens daily. I will be able to adjust my schedule to your pets needs. My home and my pets are very pet friendly. I have a very sweet medium sized Weimaraner mix who loves all animals. She would be a great playmate for another active dog, but will match the energy of a less playful or elderly dog. She is also very respectful of cats. My cats are used to other respectful dogs and cats staying in the home. I have a decent sized yard that is partially fenced in. I also have a lead set up that allows access to a large portion of the yard. I also live in a neighborhood with sidewalks and plenty of safe places to walk dogs.
“We can’t say enough good things about Destiny. She has been incredibly helpful during a very difficult time for our family, and her flexibility and kindness have meant the world to us. She took amazing care of our dog, who absolutely loves company, and it was clear from the updates and photos that she felt happy, comfortable, and loved while with her. She goes above and beyond, is extremely dependable, and truly treats your pet like her own. We are so grateful for everything she’s done for us, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and all-around wonderful sitter. Thank you so much, Destiny!”

About: I have a bachelors of animal science and I have been taking care of pets and farm animals for over 10 years. I am very knowledgable of pet behavior, especially dogs and cats, and I am first aid certified. I treat every pet I care for like my own. My pet care service is Your Fairy Dogmother LLC. I am currently dog walking and pet sitting full time on weekdays while I attend grad school part time. I’m usually available Monday-Friday from 10am-8pm. I’m occasionally available on the weekends for regulars. I pride myself on making sure the pets I care for are happy, healthy, safe, and that their needs are met. I always double check that the house is clean and safe before I leave and I lock up thoroughly. Please note that I have a zero tolerance policy for any dogs or cats that bite or have any aggressive behavior. I also cannot walk any large or strong dogs that are heavy leash pullers due to an old injury. I will only book a walk or drop-in if a meet & greet can be done beforehand.
About: Hi! I have grown up in a household where there were always multiple dogs of many breeds and even some cats. I love the company of pets and the energy I get while around them. I’ve watched over my families pets for years and those of close friends. Can’t wait to have my own home of four legged friends in the future!

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.
