About: Hi! I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and truly understand how much they mean to a family. I had a dog growing up and have a cat from childhood into my twenties, so caring for pets has always been a part of my daily routine. From walks, playtime, and training reinforcement to litter care, feeding schedules, and lots of cuddles — I’m comfortable and confident with both dogs and cats. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m currently applying to graduate school for my Master’s in Nursing and working part-time, which has helped me become very organized, responsible, and mindful with my schedule. I plan my days carefully and make sure I have dedicated time set aside for pet visits, walks, feeding, and quality attention. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and spending time with pets is actually a great balance to my academic and work responsibilities. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening care, I make sure each visit is unhurried, attentive, and focused on your pet’s safety and comfort. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and consistent with your pet’s routine. I’m very affectionate and love giving pets the attention they deserve, but I also prioritize safety above everything. I’m attentive to routines, careful with doors and leashes, mindful on walks, and respectful of any specific instructions you provide. I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level, and I always aim to create a calm, secure, and loving environment where they feel safe.
“Hayley is great! She showed up on time and took good care of my little pup who needs a little extra time to warm up to people. Hayley is kind and patient with her and puts her at ease.”
About: Whether your dog is ready to jog, walk, or sunbathe I will love and care for them the whole time. I will also brush them and I always check for ticks. I have two boys ages 20 and 13. I am available most days and my schedule is pretty flexible. I can come over anytime between 6am and 7pm on most days. I can care for your pet in your home or I can take them for a ride or a walk. I will always brush your dog’s fur and teeth - if they are into that! They will come home happy and tired.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was very young. I watched my own dog and her siblings as well as neighbors or friends dogs many times. My dog Maggie actually passed away last year so I have plenty experience with senior dog care and puppies as well. Maggie was a medium-large dog and was 14 when she passed we loved her and made her as comfortable as possible until the end. I've also watched friends and neighbors cats as well so I have experience with both pets! I have class most mornings at 8am so i'm up early and I finish class early! I'm available monday, wed, friday at 11am and my sundays and thursdays are free so i'm available all day!!! I don't have a fenced in yard but plenty of space within the home and a good location for frequent walks! I can crate dogs if needed in your home or stay/watch them while outside, whatever needed.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for quite a while and have cared for many different kinds of dogs with a wide range of needs. I have experience caring for senior dogs, including safely distributing and administering different types of medications as part of their daily routines. I’m also working toward becoming a nurse, which reflects how much I genuinely love caring for others, both people and pets. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and attentive, and I bring that same level of compassion and responsibility to every dog I care for. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. I have a very open and flexible schedule. I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., which allows me to plan my days around pet care needs. On days I don’t have class, I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, extended stays, and giving pets consistent attention throughout the day. Even on class days, I’m able to provide care before and after class and make sure pets stick to their normal routines. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, needs, and any specific instructions so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care guidelines closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and house rules. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep pets in safe areas, and maintain a calm, clean environment. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, pet-friendly space with close supervision, plenty of attention, and a comfortable area to rest and play. I’m careful about monitoring behavior, limiting exposure to hazards, and adjusting care based on age, energy level, or health needs. I also believe communication is extremely crucial, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed and confident that their pets are well cared for.
“Erica has taken care of feeding, walking and playing with Kona (a 150 lb drooling Newfie) twice. She is outstanding. Professional, clearly knows dogs, trustworthy and an overall rockstar!”
“Tallyn was able to accommodate my last minute request. She was very responsive and took great care of my dog. It is apparent from the pictures she sent that Daisy made a new friend. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I was in 4-H for 7 years, so I have experience with animals ranging from dogs to cows! I also have experience with giving meds and vaccinations. I am a nurse that works 3 days a week. Looking to help families in the area on my days off with whatever their pet needs may be! This can include walking/ drop-ins! I do not have any pets since my fur babies recently passed away, but I have enjoyed pet sitting for multiple families the past year.
About: I grew up as a dog owner, so I'm usually taking care of puppies on their first needs and training, cats overnights care and administering medication if necessary. I moved here from Boston. I work 15 minutes away from home and It allows me to stop in the middle of the day to take the dogs out. I live close to 1 park within walking distance 2 parks within less than 5 miles away. At home, I can provide grooming, a lot of love and a good time.
“Lauren provided an amazing walk for our Great Pyr who can be somewhat of a challenge. She went above and beyond with her photos and summary message afterward! We will definitely be using Lauren again!!”
“Toria has treated my Rex like one of her own. Was thrilled to find such a kind, caring and communicative person to care for Rex when my vacation schedule became too busy and complicated to include him. Toria was flexible With my changing plans, communicated clearly and was dependable. Could not ask for more.”
About: I have been walking dogs on my block for 7+ years. I have always had dogs, at the moment I have two gentle giants. They are the best. I have experience with puppies as well. I am currently not doing much since school is over, so I am available most of the time!! I love to walk around and explore. I will make sure your dogs are safe and taken care of. We will have a fun time playing and keep them busy. They will always be on a leash when walking.

Tallyn helped me out with my dog Cooper when I unexpectedly had to work evenings with very short notice. It was too hot to walk that week so she spent time with Cooper in my backyard giving him some nice shaded exercise. Excellent communication and great pictures of my dog during her visits. I would be very happy to use her again.
