I highly recommend Ewelina. Ewelina was great with my Rosie. My Rosie who’s a Shih Tzu can be a little difficult at times but was happy to have Ewelina. When she refused to go out for a walk, Ewelina was able to play with her and coax her into putting on her harness and leash. She took great care of her between walking and playing. Will definitely use her again.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and my hands-on care in different situations. I’ve been taking care of my own dogs, cats, and bunnies since I was six years old, so I understand daily routines, exercise needs, and how to keep pets happy and safe. I’ve also helped my grandmother care for cats through the Start Foundation, where I learned patience, gentle handling, and how to look after multiple animals at once. Because of this, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies and kittens who needs attention to older pets who require a calmer, more careful approach. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’ve always had responsibilities taking care of animals at home. I’m used to planning my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get the attention they need. I’m consistent and organized, so I can easily stick to a pet’s routine and follow any specific instructions. On a weekly basis, I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be reliable and available for regular visits or last-minute needs. Taking care of pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a priority to give them quality time, whether that’s exercise, play, or just keeping them company. For dog walking, I make sure each walk is safe, structured, and tailored to the dog’s energy level and needs. I follow your usual route or preferences, keep dogs securely leashed, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. During walks, I allow time for exercise, bathroom breaks, and a positive interactions so they stay happy and engaged. For drop-in visits, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine. This includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up after them, and spending quality time with play or companionship so they don’t feel lonely. I also keep an eye on their overall behavior and well-being, making sure everything seems normal while you’re away. For cats, I make sure they are safely in their home and always being careful about opening the door so they don't escape. I take my time till they get to know me. In both cases, I respect your home, follow all instructions carefully, and provide dependable, attentive care so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

Cole is a true professional who genuinely cares for dogs and animals of all kinds. From the very beginning, he has been reliable, attentive, and incredibly easy to work with. My dog, Lucky, absolutely loves her walks with him and gets excited every time he arrives, which says a lot about the bond and trust he builds with the pets he cares for. Cole is caring, friendly, patient, and always brings a positive attitude. He treats every dog as if they were his own and takes the time to make sure they are comfortable, safe, and happy. As a pet owner, it gives me real peace of mind knowing Lucky is in such capable and compassionate hands. I truly appreciate the level of professionalism and genuine kindness Cole brings to his work. I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog walker to care for their cherished pet.

About: I bring a rare blend of structured accountability, diverse hands-on experience, and an intuitive connection with animals of all shapes and sizes. What truly sets me apart: Deep, Lifelong Experience: I have loved and cared for pets across the entire spectrum—from being a former Golden Retriever owner to adopting an elderly Tuxedo cat. Whether handling large, enthusiastic breeds or patient senior companions, I understand their unique needs. Active, Versatile Care: As an experienced dog walker, my current routine includes regularly walking a high-energy Cockapoo. I am proudly Pitbull-friendly. The Magic Touch: As a former Licensed Massage Therapist, I have the magic touch - "Tails will be-a-waggin'!" Rescue-Level Empathy: Having successfully rehabilitated my own skittish street-rescue cat, I'm good at reading subtle body language and building trust with nervous or reactive animals at their own pace. I guarantee total respect for your home security, strict adherence to your routines, and exceptional communication while you are away! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I am fully available from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM just about every day of the week for scheduled bookings. This wide window allows me to seamlessly adapt to your pet's established schedule, ensuring they get their meals, walks, and potty breaks exactly when they expect them. Because I manage my calendar carefully with a 3-day advance notice window, I am able to guarantee that when your pet is on my schedule, they receive my completely dedicated, active companionship and attentive care exactly when they need it most. My approach to pet care is rooted in deep empathy, household security, and strict adherence to an animal's natural comfort zones. • Home Security & Integrity: I treat your home with the utmost respect. This means strict double-checking of door locks, ensuring gates are securely latched during backyard play, and maintaining a calm, hazard-free environment indoors. • Routine Consistency: I follow your instructions to the letter. Whether it's morning feedings, dedicated mid-evening playtime, or ensuring the litter box is perfectly clean before bed, consistency is how I keep your pets feeling safe and secure. • Patience with Sensitive Pets: I bring a calm, grounded energy to your home. I know when to give a pet their space and when to offer affection, ensuring they always feel secure and never pressured. If your pet needs extra time to adjust to a new face, I bring a calm, patient presence that allows them to approach me whenever they feel completely comfortable.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I currently have 3 bunnies of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. I absolutely love puppies and enjoy giving pets lots of attention, playtime, and care while their owners are away! Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I care for my own pets every day. I’m used to feeding schedules, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure animals feel comfortable and cared for. Since I’m a PA student with a flexible summer schedule, I’m able to dedicate time throughout the week to giving pets plenty of attention, walks, and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any household rules. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while also keeping the home clean and secure. I understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for your pets, and I will always provide updates and treat your pets like my own.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have had my own since I was younger. I currently have two small dogs, so I’m very familiar with daily care, routines, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I’ve also helped take care of friends’ pets, including dogs and cats. I’ve done drop-in visits where I fed them, played with them, and made sure they were well taken care of while their owners were away. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I always make sure pets feel I work mornings, but I’m available for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m off on Sundays and Tuesdays, so I have extra flexibility those days for walks, drop-ins, or longer visits. I’m reliable and like to stay consistent with schedules. I’m also easy to communicate with and happy to adjust based on what works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure dogs are secure on walks and always pay attention to their behavior and surroundings. I’m patient and adjust to each pet’s energy level, whether they’re playful or more calm. I also send updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe and doing well.

I can always feel her kindness and patience in the way she treats them.

I was so thankful to have found Maureen to walk my dog, Jimmy, during my surgical recovery when I was not permitted to walk the dog on a leash. Having Maureen walk the dog during my recovery reduced a lot of stress so that I could recover more quickly. She is an incredible, punctual, flexible, and trustworthy dog walker. She truly loved Jimmy, who gave her kisses after every walk. Maureen followed all my direction for caring for Jimmy. What was most incredible was that Maureen walked Jimmy through the extremely cold weather that we just experienced. She went above and beyond in walking Jimmy through these cold temperatures by wrapping him in a fleece blanket and carrying him to spots where he could poop and pee. Maureen is highly professional and will go the extra mile to take loving care for your dog. I would highly recommend her and would book her again to take care of Jimmy.
