“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Jessica to walk my pit bull, Roxanne, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Jessica is incredibly professional, punctual, and has a natural affinity with dogs. Roxanne, who can be quite energetic and strong-willed, took to Jessica immediately”


“Elisabeth has incredible energy, provides great communication and was flexible during an unexpected work trip that pulled me out of town for 20 hours. I highly recommend them!”


“Nafisa was wonderful all week long! She showed up on time or early every day. She was kind enough to give me a heads up before she arrived everyday to give me time to make it to the door and have my dog ready. They bonded immediately and my neighbors noticed how well she manages his large size and energy.”


“The proof of Jackie’s expertise is with the pups. They adored her. She is obviously a dog person. We’ll be booking her again as a sitter. I know that bean and sprout will have a wonderful time with her. Thanks Jackie!”


About: I have taken care of my sister dog for 7 months her name was chichi. I had lots of experience with taking her to walks, making sure she used the bathroom on her walks, also bathing her. I am very playful with dogs and make sure they eat and have a clean bowl of water. I am currently working a job during the afternoon on the weekdays and the weekends but I will still be available to play with your pups on the weekdays some mornings :) I will always keep your pup in company. I love to watch over playful dogs and love to teach them new tricks. I’m a very kind and generous person and comfortable to be around with dogs.

I’ve also provided regular dog walking, in-home sitting, and medication support for friends and family. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior dog with special needs, I’m confident, patient, and ready to meet them where they’re at.

About: I know I love to have the peace of mind when traveling that someone I trust is caring for my pets while I am away and I want to provide that same service to someone else. We recently lost our beloved Dexter after 14 years, so we are very much missing having a dog around to snuggle and take on walks. We also have a cat named Joey and he pretty much keeps to himself (until it is time to eat of course) and 2 small children. I am available to come to your house and give your dog walks and check-ins or anything else you might need. We will be sure to give your baby all the love and care they deserve while you are away :) During the summer months I am off from my full-time job so I have open availability. When school is back in session I am available anytime Monday-Friday after 3pm and open on the weekends. I will follow all guidance from the owner as to how you do things. It’s important to be consistent for your pet while you’re away.

About: Hi, I have an associates degree from Northern Virginia Community College in Veterinary Technology. I have done prior dog sitting dog jobs before. I currently am responsible for the care and maintenance of my three csts and occasionally my parents cat. I have care experience with a variety of animals including fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, and anyother house hold pet. I currently work full-time for the VA, however I am free most evenings and over the weekend for walks, drop in visits, or whatever is need for your pet. I currently do not accept pets into my house. I will gladly watch your pets in your home if needed. I take all safety precautions seriously. No doors to the outside are opened unless the pets are properly secured to prevent escapes. All animals on walks are double leashed for safety.

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments—whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just providing companionship while you’re away. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of animal behavior, my calm, patient approach, and my genuine love for every pet I meet. I’m also confident in my ability to follow detailed care routines, and great at building trust with shy or anxious pets. Safety, reliability, and creating a stress-free experience for your furry family member are always my top priorities. Whether it’s a long walk, belly rubs, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine and brings a great balance to my life. I currently work part-time as a waitress, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate consistent time and energy to dog walking, sitting, and overall pet care throughout the week. I recently graduated with my master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from D’Youville University and am currently studying for my national board exam to become licensed in New York State. During this period, my schedule remains highly flexible, allowing me to provide dependable care, whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. Spending time with animals is not only something I enjoy, but also something that keeps me grounded and motivated as I prepare for the next step in my professional journey. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, their comfort and safety are always my top priority. At my home, your pet will be treated like family. I have one dog of my own—Stella—who is the queen of our house and loves making new furry friends. She’s extremely friendly and gentle, and would be a great companion for your pup. We also have a fully fenced-in yard, perfect for safe outdoor play and exercise. If your dog is more comfortable in their own home, I’m happy to care for them there as well. I understand how important routine is, and I always make sure to follow your dog’s regular schedule to help them feel secure and relaxed. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I strive to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for.

“We couldn't say enough good things about Jaidyn! She was incredibly kind and patient with our nervous dog. This was our first time successfully having someone who isn't family come watch our dog (who definitely has stranger danger to say the least). Jaidyn worked with her each day to create a bond and made such good progress with her throughout the week! She was so communicative and shared helpful feedback/asked good questions to make sure she could take the best care of Rory possible! We will definitely be asking her to watch Rory again in the future!”


About: I grew up with Dogs, and had a highly reactive dog with separation anxiety for 5 years who recently passed away. Prior to having my big sweet old guy, I dog sat frequently. I work for myself so I have a flexible schedule and can spend lots of time hanging with your pup. I love taking long walks so your pup will get plenty of exercise if needed too. I work for myself so I have an extremely flexible schedule and can be with your pup as needed. I’m rarely gone for more then 3 hours at a time during the day. I have a fenced in yard and a long lead. I also live near a large park and close to the outer harbor which both make great walking spots.
