About: I am ready and excited to do whatever your dog likes to do, whether it's exercising with a long walk, playing fetch, or relaxing while I give them a belly rub. I grew up with 2 dogs and have experience pet sitting for friends, neighbors, and colleagues over the years. I have never met a dog I didn't get along with; they seem to recognize that I am a dog person and really want nothing more than to make their tails wag. I am currently in nursing school in a mostly online program, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I currently have no pets and would love to hang out with your dog(s)! I’m currently in nursing school and my program is mostly asynchronous online, so my schedule is pretty flexible overall. In the fall, my clinical days will be Thursday and Friday from 7-1, so I will only be available in the afternoon on those days. I live in a pet-friendly apartment across the street from a grassy yard area and near residential areas good for walks. I love going for long walks (especially with a dog pal!) but am always able to adjust for whatever your dog needs.
About: Hi there! I'm Devika (she/her), and I also identify as certified dog aunt to all dogs in the land. In all seriousness, I feel very attuned to dogs specifically, even those with diverse temperaments and needs. I grew up with a family dog, a shih-tzu named Leo, who passed away after a beautiful 17 years. After graduating, I didn't have the resources to commit to a full-time dog as much as I love them. There began my fostering journey during which I cared for 10+ dogs (varied breeds, sizes, and ages), anywhere from a few days to several months. During their time with me as their foster mom, these pups were able to acclimate to domestic life and work towards getting ready for their forever homes. Each foster experience was unique and I learned something new from each pup. That curiosity and attentive care is what I bring to dog care. Outside of my endless love for pups, I am also a clinical psychology doctoral student which brings a whole other facet to my dog care. With my background in trauma, anxiety, and behavioral interventions, I also bring an astute and knowledgeable eye to caring for animals. This includes trauma-informed care (no restraints unless absolutely necessary for safety), thoughtful approaching, and gently authoritative training (only if indicated). Importantly, I completely respect the autonomy of pet-owners in how they want to raise and care for their pet, and will carry out duties to a tee. My top priority is for your pet to feel safe and loved, and for you to have peace of mind while you leave your baby in my care. Please reach out with any questions and I'd love to connect more! I am available on weeknights and weekends to for dog-walking, drop ins, and house sitting. I can dedicate my time to providing your animal with utmost care. I live close to Beaver Brook Reservation and am also able to go to more secluded areas if your dog is sensitive or has other needs. I provide updates during your pup's time with me and am a strong communicator about scheduling. I care for pets in a safe, thoughtful, and generous way. I am able to adapt to the dog's needs, and am happy to accommodate to the level of care you prefer and need. I am so excited to meet you and your pup!
About: Hi! I’m Yasi, a proud pup parent to two wonderful (and very different!) dogs —an 8 y/o special needs Bichon Frise and a playful 2 y/o Goldendoodle. Caring for dogs with such unique needs has made me patient, observant, and confident in handling everything from senior care and medication routines to energetic walks and play sessions. My schedule is flexible; my hybrid job allows me to schedule in dedicated time to give your pup my full attention. Whether your dog needs a slow, gentle walk or a game of fetch and belly rubs, I adjust my care to meet their pace and personality. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow any specific routines or instructions you provide — I know how important consistency is for our babies! My work is hybrid allowing me to schedule based on the week’s needs and most importantly, dedicate time to giving your pup my full attention. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, walks, or crate time. I keep things clean, calm, and consistent, and I always communicate updates so you feel at ease :)

Yasi A.
“One can hire someone who goes through the motions...OR you can hire someone who intrinsically understands dogs; their individuality and unique needs-and give them the attention they deserve That is Yasi. She has cared for my breeder rescue Shih Tzu, Stanley, as if he was her own. Stanley has his issues and Yasi handles him with gentle ease and he loves when she visitis and appreciates her. I am very particular about communication, and follow-through and there is absolutely nothing to worry about when Yasi is taking care of my Stanley. She also greets "the girls" (3 cats) and makes sure they don't sneak out. I highly recommend her for dog walking and care-you won't find better in the area.”
