About: Hi! I've provided care for puppies from 8 weeks to 17 years old! I am a behavior analyst (for humans) but carry over those principles during informal doggie training with my own pups. I work from home and have lots of free time so I'd like to spend some of that time caring for all of your good boys and girls. I have a flexible schedule as I work from home in my apartment from 9-5. I am also completely free on the weekends at any times. I have a 2 year old crate trained service doggie. She is spayed and is very well mannered. I also have a gated hallway in my apartment to secure a smaller space if needed and large crate.

“Vivian really took care of Jayce like her own pooch. She’s very mindful and attentive to Jayce, especially with his anxiety she is very caring and really made him feel comfortable!”


“Trying to find someone to take care of our 2 boys was extremely difficult until we came across Erica, she and her husband Jon are amazing. Erica kept us informed through the whole stay of how they were doing and sent tons of pictures throughout the day. She knew how to take care of our little yorkie to our big crazy energetic husky!”


“Juliana is a true dog lover. She was super friendly and truly attuned to Leon's needs; even though there were no other pets in her apartment, she had dog toys and bowls ready to go. I would definitely book her again!”


“Hisham is very responsible and attentive. My hyper Husky mix is actually calmer when he comes home from doggy day care. My pup actually looks forward to seeing Hisham. Will be booking with Hisham throughout the remainder of the year. Does not disappoint.”

About: After many wonderful years with my emotionally complex (and deeply loved) shepherd, I’ve learned more from dogs than any book could ever teach. I'm now ready to share that experience with your pup—whether they’re joyful and energetic, shy and anxious, or living with physical limitations. I understand canine body language, behavior, and emotional needs. I let dogs set the pace—literally! Whether that means a calm house visit, a brisk jog, or a sandy beach walk, I adapt to what your dog enjoys most. Options I offer: Standard neighborhood walks Beach walks (great for dogs who love water and open space!) Runs/jogs for high-energy dogs (I can even bike or skate if your dog needs a little extra) Walk with a friend (super friendly blonde Yochon doggy in my pics) House visits and companionship Special care for dogs with emotional or physical challenges Let your best friend walk me—and rest easy knowing they’re in loving, experienced hands. I work from home every day and don't have a boss. My schedule is very relaxed, and I take frequent breaks, which usually involve walks on the boardwalk/beach. I live on the 2nd floor of a duplex with little furniture, so my place is very safe for pets. Not much to chew on or bang into.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes of my own and family members. Me and my children are advent Animal lovers as well. My availability is very much open at the moment. I can work at your schedule. Please feel free to let me know your schedule or routine. I live in a complex with open yard. I live in a town house setting with two children. I am more than welcome to take walks around my neighborhood.
