“At this point, I am so relieved and thankful to say that Katy has become part of our extended family… Our communication is always productive and very cat-centric, and my cats’ state of total relaxation and calm upon my return says so much about the safe care they received while I’m away. All love all around Thank you again Katy!!”


“Tallon did a wonderful job caring for our cat while we were away! I will call her again when we need a sitter! She sent pics and let me know each time she visited. Thank you Tallyn!”


“Alyssa was easy to work with. Took care of ours pet needs as we requested. Gave us updates after each visit. Our girls were happy to have her as their pet watcher. We would definately recommend Alyssa to another pet parent.”


“Lauren did a great job helping out with our pup while we took a day trip! She was flexible and accommodating, and treated/spoke to her so well! Sadly we are moving out of the area in a couple weeks, otherwise I would be a repeat client for sure!”

“Hayley looked after our dog for a long weekend while we were away. She was fantastic! She did a great job writing updates and sharing photos, and also did a lovely job engaging with our neighbors! Thanks Hayley!”


“Erica has been great! She keeps me updated, has been reliable and gives Luna the attention she needs during her visits. Even with short notice Erica responded quickly and helped make me my life easier. I love the photos she takes and always asks me permission before she gives Luna treats. If you’re in the area I would highly recommend Erica. She’s experienced, reliable and responsible. Everything I’m looking for in a dog sitter/walker/Furend”


About: I got my first dog right out of college and have had 5 resident dogs since then. I have raised dogs from puppies and have cared for dogs through their senior years. I have been a foster for a local rescue for the past 2 years and also serve as an adoption screener working hard to find dogs a loving home. I have fostered puppies to adult dogs, and a variety of breeds and mixes. I feel honored to provide these dogs with a temporary loving and caring home. I am experienced at bathing dogs, trimming their nails, and giving them any oral medication required. I work full time but have a very flexible schedule. Some days I go to the office, some days I work from home. I can generally work my schedule around your needs. I don't have a fenced in yard but I live on 2 acres of land. I love taking dogs on long walks and live close to various trail walks and the bike path. If I need to leave the house, I will crate dogs if needed or not; it all depends on the care you have already established with your dog. I love having dogs sleep in bed with me and cuddle on the couch. I have twin 17 year old daughters who, when they are home, will happily give your dog attention and love. We recently adopted a dog after losing our German Shepherd over a year ago. Aria is a sweet 1 year old husky who was rescued from Providence, and after fostering her, we couldn't let her go. She gets along well with all dogs she has met.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them most of my life. From walking and playing to feeding and giving meds, I’m comfortable with all aspects of pet care. I’ve dog sat for neighbors, friends, and even my boss, which taught me how to adapt to different dogs’ personalities and routines. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a laid-back senior, I make sure every dog gets the attention and care they deserve. My experience, reliability, and genuine love for animals set me apart. I volunteer from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM on most weekdays, but I’m wide open during mornings, evenings, and weekends! I’m also an early bird, so I’m available as early as 5 AM if needed. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always follow their routines as closely as possible to keep their pets comfortable and stress-free. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, preferences, and any special instructions—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or favorite walking routes. I treat every pet like they’re my own, giving them lots of attention, affection, and playtime. Cleanliness and safety are top priorities, and I make sure to leave the home just as I found it. I’m reliable, communicative, and always happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is in great hands.

“Shannon is the best! We requested 3 visits a day and she was there like clockwork. Our dog was missing us and not eating very well at first and she took the extra step in encouraging her and got her to eat. Our dog loves her!”


“Sydney took great care of our cat and a litter of foster kittens/mama while we traveled for the holidays. She sent lots of pictures and followed all instructions I left and I could tell they were all happy to spend time with her. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”


About: Hello! My preferred names to go by is Max as you might see in my testimonials! I volunteered at an animal sanctuary that had chickens, geese, swans, goats, horses, & alpacas. I have experience in dog sitting & grooming every kind of breed. I took care of ferrets as well! Cute little guys running through tubes. I have a ton of experience cat sitting as well. I even briefly worked at a cat cafe! I also have 2 of my own. Litter boxes don’t scare me! I would never force any kind interactions based off of any of the animals behaviors, unless if they would want that! I’m all about approaching with love, patience, & playfulness! I currently have open availability. I don’t have proper space to board your animals at my house but I don’t mind traveling to yours at all. It all depends on the pet, but I would approach first with a hand sniff & see if they are okay with me petting them. I also think it’s a really great idea to do a practice trial run with the owner there at first so they can meet me & warm up to me!

“Tom is super dependable. He is flexible, willing to work with you and your needs. You can count on him being consistent . He is not intimidated by any dog issues. Great friendly guy .”

“Victoria did a wonderful job taking care of my 2 kitties. They loved her and it showed in all the photos she took. She sent me details and pictures on every visit and even took out the garbage for me. I will definitely hire her again.”


About: When I was 10 years old my sister and I had started a dog walking business, it became a huge hit in my neighborhood and ever since then I’ve been caring for all kinds of dogs big & small, energetic & chill whatever their vibe may be I always cater to my furry friends!! I am currently working part time on my own schedule, So when they need a walk I am most likely available at that time! I will always have room in my schedule to prioritize your pet! I currently do not have any pets at my home, which is perfect if your dog isn’t keen on being around other dogs, but if you have a friendly dog who loves to socialize I live near lots of nature trails and dog parks! It’s the best of both worlds!
