“We have had a fantastic experience with Christopher. He quickly established trust with our dog and has been patient and flexible walking him during the coldest days of the winter!”

About: I treat every pet like family—because I know how much they mean to you. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, calm energy, and ability to care for pets of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience with everything from puppy training and crate schedules to gentle senior care, including administering medications and supporting mobility issues. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra patience, I take the time to get to know them and adjust my care style to match. I also provide clear updates, photos, and honest communication so you feel completely at ease while you’re away. Bonus? I work from home and have a flexible schedule—so your pets get lots of attention and consistent companionship throughout the day. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily plan my day around walk times, feeding schedules, play sessions, and cuddle breaks. I make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need, whether that’s early morning potty breaks or a calm evening routine. I also build in time for cleaning, updates to pet parents, and making sure everything feels just right—because I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you're away from your pets. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize keeping your pets happy, safe, and stress-free—while respecting your space as if it were my own. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any special care instructions. Whether it's a quick drop-in visit or an overnight stay, I create a calm, reassuring environment and make sure your pets feel comfortable in their own home. I’m attentive to small details—like refreshing water bowls, tidying up pet areas, deep-cleaning litter boxes, and keeping an eye on your pet’s mood and behavior. I provide honest communication, regular updates, and plenty of photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in kind, capable hands.
About: I've grown up around animals of all kinds and have also provided care for many of them along the way. I take pride in ensuring any animal in my care is safe, happy and healthy from the day they arrive to the day they leave! (We have a female dog who we'd love to let meet more friends, if possible!) I am currently working a "choose your own shift" schedule, so I can dedicate as little or as much time as possible, to your beloved animal(s)! Schedule open to discussion, dependent on the individuals wants and needs. I have a fenced in dog park and a few walking trails where I reside. I am happy to provide walks and playtime to those in my care!
“Megan is a great dog walker! I felt so comfortable knowing she was there to walk my dogs when I had to work a long day. She took great care of them while I was away.”
“Amy has been a great help with Glenn Coco. I was stressed about my sister being gone for 3 weeks and me starting my new job that keeps me out of the house for 12 hours. Glenn loved Amy and I’m sure he appreciated a potty break and some company.”
About: I have always grown up with dogs and I was a dog mom for the past 15 years before having to say good bye to my long-haired daschund. I am not ready to take on another dog full-time, but I would love to care for other's dogs on my days off. I know how stressful it can be entrusting your furbaby to a stranger. I will treat your dog as if he/she is my own. I am an "expert" belly rubber and snuggler when it comes to dogs. My goal is to make you feel comfortable entrusting your dog with me when you can't be there. I am available most days, as my schedule is flexible. I have a flexible schedule so I am available most days. As long as I have enough notice I can usually accommodate the needs of the client. I am happy to take care of your pet in your home, but unfortunately, I am unable to board in my home at this time.
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have never had a moment in my life where I was not around pets in some capacity. I spent time with my own dogs and cats as well as working at my sister’s grooming salon as a bather and pet sitter. I was also my friends and neighbors contact when they needed someone to care for their pets. I have been an active volunteer with a local pitbull rescue for many years and spend my free time with the rescue dogs and doing adoption events. I also started volunteering at the local animal rescue by my house as and spend time taking dogs out and helping with fundraising events. I currently have two dogs and one cat of my own that I love very much. My pets stay home with their other pawrent when I am away. I am available on a case by case basis during the day throughout the week but have open availability on weekends for in-home sitting or walks. I can do early morning, lunch, or evening walks/check-in for those busy days to bring you peace of mind that your pets are safe and cared for. Do you need someone to come keep your pet comfortable and happy while you’re out for the day? Or a few drop-in visits? Maybe even just to bring yourself peace of mind? I am happy to help provide that. I take care of all animals as though they are my own by ensuring their best interest at heart. I treat the safety and well being of all animals as a top priority. I truly care for animals and have an infinite amount of compassion and respect for them. I am knowledgeable with different behaviors and walking accessories (ex: different harness and collar set ups) so I can ensure safety for your pet in all situations that may present while on a walk or visit. Please trust that your pets will be treated with absolute care and respect. I will go above and beyond for any animal in my care as well as providing you with the best communication and care for your home and time.
“FIVE STARS - WOULD RECOMMEND! Angela loved and cared for our dog while we were away. The report cards were detailed and included multiple photos each day, which warmmed our hearts while we missed him more each day! When I say she cared for him, I mean she actually CARED! When he wasn't eating his dinner, she tried multiple efforts and then notified me of it. We were able to communicate and remedy it! She also took into consideration the temperature of each individual day, and what would be an appropriate time outdoors for MY individual dog breed and personality. She got to know his likes and dislikes, and played with him with his toys. I will be hiring her again! ?”
“Accepted last minute with two dogs she didn’t get to meet beforehand (one being only 8 months with a lot of energy). She did an awesome job. Great communication. Prompt updates and adjusting with requests on the fly. Will be using again.”
About: I have owned dogs and cats my whole life. They have ranged from small to large! I may not have professional experience taking care of dogs and cats but my personal experience is extensive. My pets have always come first so I will always put yours first as well. Your pets will become mine in that short amount of time I get to be with them. I will be available at nights starting at 5pm. If you would like me to spend the night with your pets I am very willing to! I know pets get lonely and miss snuggles just as much as their human owners do. I am also available to take care of your lizards and rodents if you have any. I have one of my own (bearded dragon) and am willing to help with them as well! I am a teacher. During the school year I have limited time to help out but any overnight drop ins I can help you out! During the summer, I have MUCH more availability! I can do afternoons and nights. I am a pet parent myself so I am always cautious. I make sure to keep an eye on everything happening in the home. Outside or inside.
“Excellent communication, caring and responsible. Ellie took to both Haley and Alex right away. We are repeat customers right from the start. We will definitely use them in the future for drop ins, walks and future house sitting engagements.”
