“Debbie has worked with us for about 2 years and has been great with our dog! Our dog started out as a very shy puppy that was scared to be walked down the street and with Debbie’s patients and kindness he now loves to explore on his walks. Debbie is the best dog walker you can find”
2. Rhiannon C.
“Rhiannon has been a wonderful addition to our family. I say that because she has done so much for Cole. I love the updates and how productive she is with him on their walks. And unexpectedly, she boarded him for a few days, which was the best. I completely trusted her and felt so comfortable, as she sent me several updates each day he was with her. Cole loves her and I do too! ”

“Justin is an absolute Godsend. Izzy has loved meeting him and thoroughly enjoyed her walks and all of the attention while we were away. He has been very flexible and is a wonderful communicator. We will be hiring Justin again!”
4. Gabby P.
“Gabby is AH-MAZING! I am a helicopter dog mom and I don't trust just anyone with Nails. We are so happy to have Gabby to take care of him while we are gone. She really cares about animals amd is very much attention to detail. Our dog is quite the jerk but he loves Gabby and that makes my heart happy.”
5. Anhi S.
“Anhi has been great. She listened to what my needs are as well as my dog and we love her. She's always on time, plays a little with him after they walk and even asked me first if she can give him a treat. I thought that was nice to ask first. Highly recommend her.”

“My pup loved her! Took such great care of him!”
7. Alekzandra L.
“Alekzandra always does a fantastic job not only with my dog but also communicating with me. She truly cares for your animals and my dog absolutely loves every time she gets to hang out with Alekzandra.”
8. Rebecca L.
“Becky watched my cat over our holiday vacation for a week and I would definitely use her again. It was so much better than boarding her. She was so sweet and my cat loved playing her kids! Her husband is a vet tech, so I loved having that peace of mind knowing that he knew how to react if anything happened. I plan to use her again for our summer vacation.”
9. Jack T.
“Exceptional service , very knowledgeable and passionate towards animals . He can care for advanced disability dogs”
10. Shannon S.
“I have known Shannon for a couple of years now. She does not hesitate when her brother asks her to take her dog out for a walk. She enjoys being outside, and is very welcoming to every dog she encounters. She even went back to pick up after him one time. She is very fit and can most likely handle any size dog she needs to walk. Very down to Earth, friendly, and you will not be disappointed if you choose her to walk your dog for you.”
11. Brianna L.
“Brianna was absolutely incredible. Very fast to respond to a last minute work emergency and was able to take care of my little guy twice a day for a whole week. On top of that, my unforeseen work emergency was extended a day going into the weekend and did not hesitate to continue her care for Pongo into the weekend. Absolutely will reach out to her again whenever I need care for Pongo.”

15. Bailey " Eliza" M.
About: Hi, nice to meet you! Please call me Eliza. Firstly, thank you for considering me to take care of your fur-babies while you're away. Here's a little bit about me and my history with pet care. When I was little, I always knew I wanted to work with animals in some capacity. My journey with pet care began when I was 12 years old. One of my neighbors had a black lab puppy that they never let inside & never had company. One day, I walked up to their door, knocked & asked them to hire me to walk their dog everyday. I never looked back. Since then, friends, family, neighbors & strangers alike have entrusted me with all of their pet's needs. When considering booking with me, please keep in mind that I also work 35 hours a week, giving me plenty of time to pay attention to your pets. I do not have breed restrictions & am happy to work with any special needs or requirements your pet may have. FOR ALL NEW CLIENTS, I do require a meet & greet before booking to ensure that everyone (including your pet) is comfortable and to be able to ask/answer any questions we may have for each other. I've found this helps to ensure trust between all of us. Please be upfront with any triggers or quirks so I know exactly how to take care of your pet. *The meet & greet is a FREE service to ensure we're all a good fit for each other before the stay. For the time being, I do not offer boarding in my home. During my stay with your pets, I provide the utmost care & attention to your pet & their needs. My main priorities are making sure your pet is as safe & as comfortable as possible in an already anxious situation with their parents being away. Thank you so much for considering me to take care of your fur-babies while you're away.
16. Saskia B.
“Saskia has a love for animals, especially dogs! She cares for them very much and would like to help others care for them as well. She has fostered when a family needed it most, until the family could take the dog back. She is very good with dogs because she respects and loves them all! She loves to go for walks daily, so bringing a fury friend along w her would bring her and your dog joy! She is respectful of owners wishes of their pets as well and will follow any important/extra instructions. I trust her with my pets! We have an Australian Shepherd/Husky, and a Red Heeler/beagle.”
17. Diana M.
“Diana is my go to dog walker, she is simply the best around! She takes my dog on long walks and sends the best pics! She even takes time to send me pics of my cat at home as well and give him some love. This week she bought my dog a treat to enjoy! 🥰😄 I see a noticeable difference when I walk my dog now too, he doesn’t pull on the leash nearly as much anymore! Thank you so much Diana!!”
18. Dino R.
About: I have experience with dogs my entire life from daily care routine to caring for senior dogs. Your member of the family would be treated very well and we are able to care for dogs that require special attention. Your dog would not go more than 2-4 hours without someone supervising them. I would make sure your animal is safe. The world class care your fur baby would get would be unmatched. My doggies are literally spoiled but well behaved. They are sweet so there will be plenty of attention and exercise for your loved one. ❤️❤️❤️

“Alexandra is great with my dog (a big rottweiler), and is great about communication, sending pictures during walks/stays, etc. Highly recommended.”
20. Brittany P.
About: Hello there! My name is Brittany. I'm 32, and currently live in Watertown, NY. I work at a Dunkin’ Donuts, full time. My true passion is animal care. To be honest, rescue. I worked as an animal care taker for almost 3 years at an animal shelter about 4 years ago, and since then I've been trying to get back into the field. I tried doing this site previously, but was not satisfied with the way I set things up. So, now I'm back, with more time and rules! I want to make sure that everyone, including myself, feels safe and secure knowing who is being involved in each others lives. ***I DO NOT DRIVE*** I can get myself mostly around the area. Anywhere beyond Watertown I can't promise I can come to you.. But my home is open to all. I'm very active, so your pet won't be bored. I'm friendly and caring, and would like to meet you and your pet before we go ahead with any sort of transactions. I have an indoor/outdoor cat who is feisty, and a bit territorial. She doesn't like other cats AT ALL, but she can cope with other animals. I would definitely prefer a meeting with her before coming in. I know this isn't much, but if you haven't read all of my details, I will not answer back. This is a very serious thing to me, and I want to make sure that all animals and peoples needs are taken care of! ***Please note I DO NOT use choke collars. I use harnesses. I have posted this in multiple areas here so please make sure you know this first*** I’m looking to go down to part time at my job right now so I can fully focus on my pet care. Hopeful to go full time with this. I see animals as family and I understand their needs pretty well. I’ve done a lot of animal training. I can read body language easily and strive to make the time spent with me very comfortable. I do NOT use choke collars, I use harnesses. Please let me know if I should bring one along
