“Excellent with my dog. He loves her and cries from excitement when he sees her. She is very good at letting him do the things he enjoys. Cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you Loren!!!!”
About: Caring for people and animals is my passion. I work part time at a hospital and volunteer with rescue dogs. I like helping any way I can. I will care for your pet to the best of my abilities and ensure the get the attention they need when you are unable to be there. I have dog sat/dog walked and cat sat a variety of different breeds for years. I am open to most any animal and have a flexible schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and getting them outside and active in fresh air! If needed I have references I can give to better confirm that I am experienced and trustworthy. I am open to helping out anyway that I can! I look forward to working with you!
“Melanie is super dependable and great with my dog. He gets more walks now than ever! Total piece of mind when I'm working extra hours to have Melanie spend some time with him.”
“Brittney truly is the best! Extremely reliable and flexible. I've had to switch on her so many times because of my schedule and she's always so accommodating. Super plus is that the dogs love her. Any instructions I send her she follows with no hesitation. Super friendly and you can tell she loves what she does. Thanks Brittney for always keeping me at ease.”
“Amazing service. She came out to meet my dog prior to the first walk I booked, and was very polite. professional, and thorough with her questions. I felt very confident in her abilities- and let’s be real, we are all a little nervous leaving our pets in the care of strangers, especially for the first time. She was also very flexible when some last minute things popped up and I needed her help with the pup on very short notice. 10/10.”
“Kristine is the best! She sends lots of cute pics and helpful updates :) I will definitely continue using her for all sitting, walking, etc. needs for my pup. :)”
“Allie is fantastic! When she showed up for our meet-and-greet, she was extremely thorough and took her time to ensure that she was able to record all important information about my dog. She promptly responds to messages and easily established a great rapport with my dog. She is now my #1 go-to when I need someone to take care of my dog when I am unable to!”
About: I have always loved animals and growing up, I lived with cats. I have owned a variety of pets such as hamsters, fish, hermit crabs and taken care of my neighbors' dogs. I take pride in the level of excellent care of my pets (even as a child!) and always research the best food, practices, toys and other aspects of their care so they are living their best life with me. I was always a responsible child growing up and took pet parenting quite seriously. I was attached to all my pets and would prioritize their needs as a good pet owner. Growing up, I would also pet sit my neighbors' dogs by playing with them, feeding them and cleaning up after them. As a fitness enthusiast, I love taking dogs for walks! I currently work from home during the week and am flexible with timing for visits. I am available on weekends as well as holidays as long as I am made aware ahead of time. I appreciate any timing flexibility for visits when considering working with me since I do have other responsibilities. If you know me personally, you would know I am a huge animal lover and am obsessed with my cats. They mean the world to me and as someone who loves her cats as her family, I will treat your fur baby with the utmost respect, love and best care possible. I understand entrusting someone else to care for your fur baby is a big responsibility and I would be honored to do that for you. I will write down all of your instructions, pay close attention to details of your pets' specific needs, tend to their needs during their visit, give them love, clean up after them, feed them, and will try to keep your pets' routines as closely as possible so it is smooth and stress free for them. I know what it is like to go on vacation and how disruptive it can be for your pet. As owners, we worry about their wellbeing and that is a top concern for me as a pet sitter. I am here to comfort, soothe and make your absence less uncomfortable for them. As a dog walker, I will pay the utmost attention to my surroundings, clean up after them and keep them safe away from any potential threats. I take this role quite seriously as your pet is your loved one and I would want mine to be treated in the same manner.

I have always loved animals and would love to care for yours! I have experience with dogs and cats as well as house sitting. I will care for your pet within and around your home. Walking, feeding, or just providing some company! At this time I am unable to board animals.

Like to meet them I have a little dog and a cat. I can only walk dogs on a leash at my home. I am more than willing to come take your pets out at your home and water and feed them.
“Samantha is always reliable and is amazing with our puppy Sabrina. We are lucky to have her help with walking and visiting, rain or shine, hot weather or cold.”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and knew I always wanted to work with them. I’ve always cared for the pets I had growing up which included dogs, cats and guinea pigs! I then started watching friends and family members dogs and cats when they were away. One of my first jobs was at a boarding facility where I cared for and walked dogs! I have a flexible schedule due to the fact that I am home everyday caring for my 2 year old son! I would love to bring him along for walks and drop ins! My dog gets walked everyday followed by a relaxing rest stop by the river in our backyard! We love to be outdoors as much as possible!
About: I love working with pets because they all have such different personalities. What makes working with pets more fun is establishing trust with them so that I can provide the best care for them. I have loved animals since I was a little girl and am furthering my career by studying Zoology at SUNY Oswego. I am currently a student looking for part-time work through the summer. I am looking for a job where i can provide a safe and trustworthy environment with both pets and their owners. I have cared for my own dog whose name is Zoey. I bathe her, brush her, take her outside, play with her, train her, and show her unconditional love. I also have pet sit for family and friends whenever they needed in the past few years.
“Sam is super! My dog immediately hit it off with her during our meet & greet, so I knew we would be in great hands. She took a great walk with my pup, was on time & responsive. Highly recommend and can’t wait to use her again.”
“Scott is seriously the best! So accommodating, always goes above and beyond, and my dog absolutely loves him (he usually hates everyone). Highly recommend!!”
“Tiara was great at checking in before her first walk with Rocky. She arrived and asked good questions about where to find all of his things, and how to handle running into other dogs on their walk. Rocky had lunch, a nice walk, and got to play with all of his puzzle toys with Tiara! We’ve already booked our next walks with her.”
“Sheila was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure my dog was taken care of. She got along so well with my dog and always gave detailed updates on each walk. I highly recommend Sheila if you're looking for a professional and caring dog walker!”
“Vanessa went above and beyond my expectations. Teddie just lost his life long brother and needed an extra treat! She took him to one of his favorite parks and got to run in the sand. She texted pictures and it just made me so happy to know Teddie was in good hands. I will definitely contact her again!”

19. Wade G.
“My wife and I employed Wade for our two week trip overseas to take care of our 4 year old cat - Temujin. Wade was a spectacular pet sitting and house guest. Even before departing on our trip Wade made sure to meet with me separately to confirm Temujin's needs, preferences and standards of care. We were given daily updates on Temujin throughout our trip. Whenever any - small - instances would arise Wade immediately contacted us to inquire as to the best resolution and then deftly acted. We returned home not only to a clean and orderly house but a healthy and happy cat. Based on other's testimony and the pre-pet sitting questions, I am sure that Wade is more than equipped to take care of not only cats but also dogs and other animals. I cannot recommend Wade's services any higher and believe he will always act in the best interest of the animal. Thank you again Wade!”
20. Sam W.
“I have used Sam as a dog walker for over a year. She goes above and beyond for your pet. She cares for them like she would her own pet! 10/10 recommendation!”
