“Just moved to the area and I found Matt. Matt is professional, reliable, and responsive. I feel comfortable leaving my dog behind when I’m away. Matt always send updates/photos with each walk.”


“Caroline was super accommodating with our young puppy's (and our) needs. She was up for us walking along with her, so our puppy could get feel more comfortable around her for the first meeting. Definitely will be requesting Caroline again for help with our puppy!”


“Andrew was on time and totally respectful. He was very calm with our hyper puppy and did a great job of letting the pup come/warm up to him. We had a few requests (sitting at sidewalks and heeling by people) that make walking the pup a little more work. Andrew was more than happy to work with all of our requests. Definitely recommend!”


“Tina was very friendly, right on time for pick up & drop off! She shared all the things he did on the walk! I would definitely request her services again!”


“Ronnie did a great job walking my Minnie girl for me! I appreciated him coming so last minute- glad to have a good person to help keep Minnie entertained ☺️ thank you!!”


About: I've walked and exercised dogs. Fed them. Snuggled them. I have a pretty laid-back personality, so I hardly stress out even when a dog is barking at me. I understand they need to get use to a person first sometimes. I work a super laid-back job from home so I have plenty of time to spend with any pets throughout the day, whether they be dogs who need walking or cats who need snuggling. I follow the routines outlined by my clients, and use my intuition to know what the pet is needed or feeling in the moment. It probably sounds corny, but it's the best way I know how to describe it. An attentive person can tell when they're upset or when they're at peace.

“Lavinia was great with our dog! She was also very clear and thorough with her communication so I knew our fur baby was being well taken care of :)”


“Emily is lovely and my Maddie immediately felt comfortable with her. I was able to schedule with her same day which is great. We will definitely be contacting her regularly. ?”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was very young and have always loved caring for animals. As a dedicated pet sitter, I have experience pet-sitting (cats and dogs!) for professors during college and dog-walking as well for friends over holiday breaks. 🐾 What I Offer: ✔ Experienced dog-walker, great with neighborhood walks or fenced yard playtime ✔ Experienced with overnight pet-sitting and in-home pet care for cats and dogs ✔ Comfortable with dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large dogs ✔ Cat mom to two rescues—a senior and a kitten—so I understand the unique needs of both young and older cats Whether your pet needs company while you're away or just an extra walk and attention, I’m happy to help! I am a fresh graduate taking a break before graduate school - so I'll have plenty of time to take care of your furry companions! As such, I have a very flexible schedule and can work around most pet care routines. I have experience with walking/in-home dog and cat sitting and understand the importance of keeping your pets entertained while maintaining a safe environment. Please communicate any specific needs (such as areas they prefer to walk through, medications, etc.) and I will accommodate them!

About: From high-energy pups to more anxious or reserved dogs, I have the skills and experience to take care of all of your pups needs! I love every pet like they're my own, making sure they feel as safe and comfortable as possible. I'm a grad student with night classes coming up part-time this fall, meaning I have lots of time during the day to take care of your pet! When I care for pets in their own home, I cater to their needs - whether that's giving lots of attention, playtime, or snuggles. I'm always careful to respect household rules and keep everything clean and safe. I'll also keep you updated on a regular basis, and make sure to send lots of pictures while you're away!

“Mackenzie is amazing! I’m super grateful that she came to my rescue to walk my 60lb 10-month old puppy. I know that my dog is still learning to walk on a leash, and I know that he is a lot to handle. McKenzie did wonderful with my puppy. I would rebook with her in a heartbeat.”



“Melo absolutely loves Rachel! She is amazing, gave me some tips and tricks on Melos body language for new people and left very detailed overview of their walk, not to mention the amazing pictures. Thank you so much! I’m sure Melo will be requesting her again!”


“Jacqueline is very professional and takes great care of my dogs! She’s always on time and very responsive. She takes care of the house and makes sure to wipe paws from the snow or rain. Definitely recommend her services if you need a reliable walker/sitter!”


“Hannah is wonderful! I tend to be a bit anxious leaving my dog with others but I know my dog is in great hands with Hannah, and love seeing the happy pictures from their walks.”


About: Hi! My name’s Misa and I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid. Once my family got our first dog when I was 8 years old, we were inseparable. She was my partner in crime~ Now I have a cat of my own and he owns my heart! He’s pretty food motivated so I clicker trained him, and he knows about 10 tricks :D He also has some health issues so I’m familiar with giving cats medication. I recently graduated with my master’s from the UR and I’m still in the process of looking for a job. Which means my schedule is super flexible to hang out with your pet! I’m detail oriented, reliable, and respectful of your space and your pets~ I'm currently on the job hunt after finishing my master's degree so my schedule is very flexible to accommodate drop-ins in the morning or afternoon as well as the evening~ I'll do my best to adhere to your pet's normal routine and of course be respectful of their boundaries. I'll follow any instructions given and reach out if any further clarification is needed!

About: While I’ve had pets my whole life, I have also worked in humane societies and grew up in a rural area where animals can be more a part of daily life than people! Part of my education included studying animal cognition, empowering me to solve any problems creatively and with a solid understanding of how your pets see the world. I am able to administer medications, as my own dog needed this in the past, and I am able to give your pets all the exercise they need whether it be walking, running, or anything in between! I am a recent graduate starting my doctoral degree this fall. In the meantime, I have a wide open schedule that can accommodate even the oddest hours. I will not be offering services in my own home at this time, thank you for your understanding. I will make sure to notify my clients promptly should this change!
