“Clare was great with Oreo! She was easy to coordinate with and she helpfully let me know when he was slow to eat (which is normal for him). I appreciated her paying such good attention to him and taking great care of him.”


2. Mac H.

“Mac truly provided outstanding care for my dog! He was patient with my pup and communicative with me. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that even on her first visit, my dog grew to be quite comfortable with him and even accomplished all of her dog business! 😊 I will definitely use him again!”


3. Faith & Arlind L.

10. Alondra C.
About: I’ve taken care of animals and dogs my whole life. I grew up with a poodle and I cared for my sister's two dogs. I am also a medical student about to graduate in May, so I know how to be a good caregiver and am responsible for all living things. I’m very flexible in terms of timing. Most of my free time is in the afternoons and evenings but I have flexibility depending on the day. My house is dog proof and I can also come to your house. I am very respectful and clean and can accommodate requests as needed.


11. Catherine B.

“Catherine was a life saver! We were able to book her the night before for day care services. It usually takes Donna some time to warm up to new people, but she immediately ran inside Catherine’s house and greeted her. When I picked her up, she was happy to see me but ran towards Catherine to celebrate. I will definitely be booking her again!”

14. Connor B.
About: Since birth, I’ve cared for my dogs’ well-being. My best friend, a yellow lab, has taught me how to keep him and his pals happy. I’ve cared for both puppies and seniors, ensuring their needs are met, including medications and special care. Although my yellow lab lives with my parents in New Hampshire, when I’m with him, I make sure he eats twice a day and has fresh water checked hourly. He requires at least two 15-minute walks daily, along with extra playtime in the yard. I care for clients’ pets in my home and others’ by staying fully aware of their environment and approaching them with care and attention. When supervising pets, I provide focused attention as needed and ensure they are acting normally.

Siena is our favorite dog walker and dog sitter!”


19. Mallika K.
About: A Lifelong Dog Lover Ever since I was a child, dogs have held a special place in my heart. From the moment I met my first furry friend, I knew there was something truly special about the bond between humans and dogs. Whether it was playing fetch in the backyard, going on long walks, or simply enjoying their loyal companionship, I’ve always found joy and comfort in their presence. Over the years, my love for dogs has only grown stronger. I’m fascinated by their unique personalities, unwavering loyalty, and the way they bring happiness into our lives. Whether it’s learning about different breeds, training techniques, or simply spending quality time with them, I cherish every moment I get to share with these amazing animals. For me, being a dog lover isn’t just about having pets—it’s about understanding, caring for, and celebrating the incredible connection we share with them. We have an adorable neutered Shih Tzu who is 2 years old and with a heavy heart had to let our dear girl who was 15 years old with severe arthritis. I have experience in caring for senior dogs and giving medications. I work from home and am available to walk, play and care for them ! I also have a very friendly and playful 2 year old Shih Tzu. If your dear one is at my place, the dear one will be a part of our family and will follow the routine that your dear one is used to!
