“As always, Penny was wonderful looking after Ollie. Every time we go away we know that all he could not be in better hands. I highly recommend Penny to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter.”

“Bielka was great. She responded to my request quickly and was able to accommodate my pup last minute, when my usual sitter had to cancel. She took good care of my dog, and was able to handle her quirks and energy with seeming ease. When I picked up my dog, Bielka gave me a little summary of their time together and let me know how my dog did. She truly cared and loved her, and I so appreciated that. It's not always easy to find somebody who will provide that care and form a connection with your dog over a short period of time and it feels like Bielka did just that. My dog seemed totally at ease. I'm so grateful for Bielka and would 100% recommend her!”

“We had such a great experience! She took wonderful care of our puppy and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. You can tell she truly loves animals. Highly recommend!”


“Absolute best sitter I've left my GSD with. Hoping to book again soon so he gets more socialization with their pup. Kalani was very accommodating and understanding of my last minute request to book on a holiday weekend and my boys' anxiety that can look like aggression. Great communication and care. Would recommend her to anyone in a heart beat!”

“Huge thanks to Robert for taking care of Pepe in what must have been a challenging week with 2 large snowstorms!! I think Pepe was a little confused at first (he had been a stray), but he came home well fed and happy!!”


“Megan is absolutely incredible. She treats our dog as if she were her own. She communicates regularly and keeps us informed. So very grateful to have Megan watch our Fina when we are away. Five stars and beyond!”


“Katherine is awesome! My dog just spent a week with her and was very happy. She sent me pictures every day and reached out with updates. There was never a lack of communication or a feeling that my pup wasn’t being absolutely cared for. I highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs, and I won’t hesitate to call her again when the need arises!”

“Brooke was wonderful with our pups Freya and Odin. From the meet and greet to pick up, Brooke put us at ease and allowed us to relax while on vacation as we knew our dogs were taken good care of. Brooke sent daily updates and pictures, which offered us relief while being so far away and for such a long time. She followed our directions and we did not have to worry. She shared that the dogs did well and were great! We were very satisfied and happy with the care that Brooke and her family gave our dogs and we would definitely book her again in the future.”

About: I work full-time from home in Amherst, meaning your dog will never be left alone or crated for long stretches. I have a large, fully fenced-in yard where guest dogs can run safely alongside my friendly 35 lb Rat Terrier/Beagle mix, Wally! Because I only host ONE client family at a time, your pet gets 100% of my attention, unlimited bathroom breaks, and constant supervision throughout the day. Whether it's lounging next to my desk or playing fetch in the yard, your dog will feel right at home. I work full-time from home, which means pet care seamlessly integrates into my day. Your dog won't be left alone or crated for hours while you're away. I take regular breaks throughout the day for yard play, potty breaks, and walks. Because I only take one client family at a time, your dog receives constant company alongside my friendly mix, Wally. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home features a fully fenced, secure backyard where dogs can run freely and safely. Inside, furniture privileges are welcome if that's what your pup is used to at home! Whether your dog is crate-trained or prefers lounging on a dog bed, I adapt to their normal routine. Mandatory meet-and-greets ensure everyone gets along before booking.

“Luiz and family have cared for my princess Becky many times over the last few years and have always provided her with the best experience at their K9 Resort,.! We are very fortunate to have such great place for her while I travel. Becky enjoyed her stay there very much, and can't wait to go back to see her friends! Excellent”

“Kate has helped care for our dog on multiple occasions. On a recent trip abroad she cared for our pup in her home and he was well taken care of. When we picked up our pup you could tell that he felt safe and loved at Kate’s home. I would recommend Kate to anyone!”


“Tilly seemed to enjoy her overnight stay and interacted well with Alexandra’s dog. There was excellent communication between us with several great status photos provided. Will certainly use her services again!”

“Thank you Emily for making Sherlock feel at home!!! Sherlock was welcomed as part of their own family. Emily and all her family members made it very easy for him! He had a very comfortable stay! ❤️”

“Adriana and her whole family was very accommodating and patient with our dog who gets separation anxiety. She kept me updated frequently with pictures and texts. I would use Adriana again and would recommend her. Thank you!”

“Ashley was a very professional, attentive, and caring sitter. We left our dog with her for almost a week, and he came back very happy and tired. (He's still sleeping it off I think!) I would definitely recommend Ashley to others!”

“We had a long talk with Hope when we returned home. She said that she had a wonderful time with Laura and family and even had her usual opportunity to 'snuggle'. It was comforting to know that there is a home near ours where we can be comfortable leaving Hope, knowing that she will be loved and cared for. I expect that we will be asking Laura to care for Hope in the future”

“Jodie took excellent care of my dog, Gremlin. She made sure he was walked and well-fed. He received a good brushing, along with a change of outfit. Jodie treated him like he was her own. We will definitely be booking again soon!”

“This is the second time I’ve had Callie do drop-in visits for my two cats and she did a fantastic job both times! She goes above and beyond to make sure your pets stay happy and healthy. I highly recommend hiring her for any of your pet care needs!”

“Nicole went above and beyond caring for our five cats, even making it out during snowstorms. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our pets. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands.”

“I really hope we can do this again together. My girls were so happy and well cared for. I really liked the updates and jr was lovely seeing how relaxed my girls were even though I’d been gone for five days. Jordan took notes when we left and it helped to ease my mind. She was just wonderful.”


“Kali is a lifesaver! My fiancé and I went away on vacation for 10 days and I was panicking since I’ve never left my pets for that long. She eased my worries, sent me cute pictures, and was wonderful with communication. She’s my go-to sitter and I can’t picture anyone else watching my babies :)”

“Margaret & Dawson were great and took care of our pets like they were their own. Very trustworthy, dependable and communicative. They sent us pictures and videos of the pets with each visit. We recommend booking with them and we will book with them again in the future!”

“Thank you Collin for checking in on my cats and keeping them company and feeding/watering them while I was away for the weekend. I enjoyed all the pictures you sent and it really put my mind at ease. My first time using this service and would love to use you to “cat sit” in the future”


“Nadine did an amazing job with our cat. Lots of playtime and pets when she stopped by for an evening drop-in. She kindly sent videos and pictures too! We hope to use Nadine again in the future!”


“J is such a wonderful sitter! She was incredibly responsive and was in constant contact when she cared for our cats. I can tell they were in great care with her, we will certainly be reaching out to her for future visits.”

“Zachary kept me up-to-date with photos and check-ins of his visits with Zeus. Knowing when Zachary was with Zeus and seeing pictures of my boy playing, cuddling, and eating was comforting and reassuring. Thank you, Zachary, for taking good care of Zeus!”

About: I have spent my entire life around animals so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I grew up in a household with over 40 animals, including dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I have spent years working in a small locally owned pet store in my home town taking care of exotics, before moving into kennel work at a vet’s office. I have experience in giving medications to dogs and cats in different methods, and monitoring their health afterwards. My primary role was offering our boarding pets the comfort of a home away from home. I’m a reptile dad every day, taking care of my own snake and bearded dragon babies. I’m currently home every day with time and love to give to other pets and their people who need an extra hand. I have a big room with a comfy bed that they can lay on in a nice couch that we can sit and watch shows on. I also have a fenced in yard outback that I can take them in to play, but I have a spacious cemetery up and across the street that is great for leash walks as well. I also have various toys and litter boxes as well.

“Vivian was an amazing support for my cat while I was away for 5 days. She spent quality time with her, completed all tasks, and checked in with me daily. I look forward to working with her again!”

“Luiz and his family are amazing! Took such good care of my pup Bentley. Treated him like their own. So many cute videos and pictures sent through out the day! Bentley came home exhausted from all the play time. He also loves their dog Molly. Definitley will be booking stays there again. Highly recommend for any pet parent looking for a safe and caring place to leave their babies.”

“Amanda was so good with my dog Freddy who has a high level of separation anxiety. Freddy ended up having a great day at Amanda’s house. She sent me pictures during the day. I highly recommend Amanda to watch your dog.”
“Some people just have that natural rapport with animals and Alexis is definitely one of them! My recently adopted husky has been struggling with separation anxiety and Alexis made her feel right at home. By the time I picked Bella up, she had gone on THREE walks and I had so many photos to enjoy! I simply cannot recommend Alexis’s conscientious care enough, and the next time Bella needs daytime care I will be coming back with no hesitation. Thank you! It couldn’t have been better!”

“Jodie took wonderful care of our tiny pup while we were out for the day. We had consistent updates during the sit and pictures of a very content puppy that gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy the day. Already booked the next sit, so happy to have found a wonderful sitter nearby!”


“Our pup was very well taken care of, few hiccups along the way however they were very responsive, and she returned home every day just wiped out from blowing off all of her energy.”

“Rachael was wonderful! Opie went for a day play and hang out. He had some buddies to play with and was a sleepy pup once we got back home. Rachael sent photos and reassured us everyone was happy! Thanks!!”

“I found myself needing someone to watch my two dogs on short notice while I went to a medical appt over two hours from my home. I found Shannon and she happily accepted my booking request with less than 24 hours notice and without the benefit of a meet & greet. Her home is set up perfectly with a beautiful fenced in yard at the end of a quiet dead-end street. I will definitely call on Shannon again when I'm back in the area. Thank you again for helping me out when I was in a bind.”

“Our collie, Logan, and ourselves, too loved Kathryn and her big back yard. Her 2 dogs, Arlo and Smoky, were great hosts. Logan had a fun time and came home happy and content. We are looking forward to many more daycares and boarding soon.”

“Lindsey was so accommodating when we had to leave Oreo (our Shi Tzu) with her for 4 days. She has a Chihuahua of her own and both of them became friends. I would recommend her for your pet day care.”

“Ashley is pleasant and knows what she is doing with these dogs! She has an ideal yard and home and was willing to show me the environment. She sent me pictures throughout the day and made me feel very comfortable. We can’t wait to work with Ashley again!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Temple
Prices are estimates per walk. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I accommodate your pet considering their physical needs as well as your expectation. How far can they walk? Ailment’s? Health conditions? I will factor all these into each walk. I have personal experience with dogs of all ages and sizes as well as cats of all ages and am comfortable understanding their behaviors and body language. I grew up with dogs and my most recent English black lab of 14 years young, who passed in September 2019 due to her weakened hips and other health conditions. I understand the patience and care needed for senior pets. I currently have a tuxedo cat/ Maine coon who fills my days with love. I take great pride in attention and respect to animals of all ages and sizes. Endless attention and positive affirmations will be given to your lovely pets while you are away, texts and pictures will gladly be given, as a photographer I can’t help myself! Currently I have a flexible schedule as I am a freelance pet, landscape and product photographer. Looking to fill my free time with being outdoors while helping busy individuals and their fur family. Fresh water will always be accessible, while honoring their food schedules, as well as their outside schedules and activities. I will always be diligent in locking doors as well as lights left on or whatever preference makes you and your pets comfortable.
“Rebekah took care of our pups and knew exactly what to do for them with their care. She was communicative and professional and prompt. Our dogs love her! We won’t hesitate to work with Rebekah again!”


“Callie has been amazing at caring for my older nearly 15 yr old Dutch Shepherd, Methos. Normally picking about who walks him/feeds him/gives his meds, Methos warmed up to her within 1 day. Callie's extra care and consideration for his progressing medical needs has assured me Methos is safe and in good hands.”

“We love Emily and are so lucky to have found her. She does a great job caring for our crazy animals and is very reliable. We will absolutely continue to book with her.”
“Thank you for making the visit work! Mulligan feels safe and happy with Colin! He always is so great to him! We are grateful to have someone so trustworthy , fun, and loving care for Mulligan! Thank you!”


About: I currently have two cats and two dogs that I absolutely adore and consider part of the family. I've also pet sat for family friends and have experience caring for pets with different needs and personalities. After caring for a sick fur baby of my own, I'm comfortable giving medications and helping pets who need a little extra attention or medical care. I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands, and I’ll always treat them with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. ❤️ I’m currently a full-time college student completing my classes online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. Because I can plan my coursework around my commitments, I’m able to be dependable and accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. I’m more than happy to provide in-home visits to care for your precious pets. Before any visits begin, I like to meet with families to discuss any questions, concerns, or special care instructions. It’s also a great opportunity for your pets to get comfortable with me and for us to make sure we’re a good fit. My goal is to help both you and your pets feel safe, confident, and at ease while you're away.
“Jeanne is dependable and easy to work with. She is great a communicating through the app. When she is walking our puppy, we know he is in great hands! I highly reccomend her 🐾”

“We were so grateful to have Damien help us with midday walks this week! He always treats our guy with such kindness and leaves the best feedback about how he’s doing during the day.”

“Nicole was great with Buster! You can tell she has a love for dogs. Great communication and she was great with him. He definitely had a good time getting out for some mid day adventures, we’re looking forward to working with her again!”

About: Owned and taken care of dogs and cats since I was young. Can’t remember a time without having pets! Currently own two crazy pups and two pretty kitties, and can’t wait to meet yours. Have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and everything in between. I am a full time firefighter/EMT, so I only work two 24hr shifts a week, and the rest of the time I get to play with yours, and my own animals! Love to hike or be outdoors with as many pets as possible! If they’re happy, I’m happy! I will follow all rules set for your pet, and be sure to keep their safety at the top of the list! As a pet owner, I can’t imagine something happening to my own animals, and I would never want to let anything happen to yours!

About: I’ve had dogs in my family for as long as I can remember, and I currently live with my American Staffordshire Terrier. I’ve also cared for friends’ and neighbors’ cats. I’m comfortable with high-energy and strong breeds, as well as more low-key cats. I’ve helped manage feeding schedules, basic training, and day-to-day care for multiple pets at once. Your pet will get my full attention. I send photo updates and treat every animal like my own! I’m generally available most afternoons and weekends (some Saturdays and all Sundays) for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. My schedule can shift week to week, so please check my calendar or message me for current availability. I’ll do my best to work around your needs! I provide care exclusively at the client’s home, so your pet stays in their familiar environment with their normal routine, food, and bedding. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or in-home boarding, I focus on keeping things consistent: sticking to their regular schedule, giving them attention and exercise, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.
About: I have been a lover and caretaker for animals since I was young. I foster puppy’s often and love it. Having the opportunity to train and prep them to find their forever homes is so special to me. From potty training, to obedience training and everything in between as a start to giving them their best lives! Through Fostering, I have learned how to connect with dogs on a different level. I would love to have the opportunity to walk, connect and take care of your animals as needed. I work part time and I have plenty of time to do drop ins or take your pups on a nice walk. Around the neighborhood or a few miles in the woods. What ever matches their energy. I treat every animal I care for like they are my own, keeping them safe and loved while they are in my care. ❤️ ❤️

He clearly felt right at home and very much enjoyed the frequent outdoor trips but most importantly the comfy and cozy atmosphere of their very dog-friendly home. Finley just spent a week with Becky, and we have already rebooked for this coming weekend! Great to have this option knowing Finley is in good hands ?”
“Kept us updated with frequent pictures, she clearly helped Cooper make himself at home. Very conscientious about our dog's wellbeing by asking for a "meet and greet" which I appreciated. Definitely recommend.”
