About: I have had many breeds of dogs from a young age. I take care of my dogs with great pride. Feeding, grooming & taking my dog for checkup. Heartguard & flea & tick prevention. My love for dogs from many years still continues. My dog Molly is almost 8 & she is the love of our household. I started the love of dogs at a young age with my dog Lassie, then my family had Siber, a white Samoyed. We adopted a mix Doberman/German Sheppard. Then a female Maltese Chardonnay. My wife & daughter now are sharing my love as first time dog owners with Molly. We adopted her from North Shore Animal league. Any dog I would take care of, I would show compassion & care. I am retired from full time work today , I am available when you need me , message me! I am fully free on weekends as well so any time is fine! I was active in 2018 but now after 5 yrs , I am active walking dogs again . I am available for dog walking or sitting 7 days a week . When going on walks I can put on booties/sweater/jacket and harness if needed and then I would take them on a nice walk to help them get exercise, energy out and do all their business. I am very cautious to make sure they are safe and not eating anything random of the street or steping in harmful things.

“This was our first booking with Patricia and we're really happy with how everything went. She's exactly what we were looking for in a cat sitter and we will definitely be booking her again in the future. She handled everything we asked for and then some. It was a relief to know that our cats were being well looked after twice a day. We also really appreciated the updates and pictures she sent after her visits. Highly recommended!”


“Diane walked our 10 year old Husky for the first time today. He’s 80lbs of fluff and we knew he was well taken care of when we came home to his happy calm state. Seeing the photos made us feel comfortable that he was in the best of hands. We look forward to having Diane walk Bruno once again.”

“Alexis is wonderful!!!! Trustworthy, friendly, and amazing with animals! Alexis watched my kitties when I was away in Europe for a week and I was completely at peace knowing she was watching my fur babies. She was thoughtful and mindful of what my cats needed and kept me updated with each visit with adorable photos! She also took wonderful care of my home and cleaned up the areas around the cat litter. Anyone would be lucky to have Alexis watch their animals. I will definitely be using her again! Thank you Alexis 🤍”

About: Hi, I’m Cynthia ! I’m a young professional with a love for all animals looking to spread and gain some joy through my love for animals. Driven by a deep affection for dogs and a desire to enhance my physical health, I am exploring dog walking and dog sitting services. This endeavor is not only a refreshing diversion from my corporate tech job but also a meaningful way to contribute beyond the confines of my computer. It’s a step towards a healthier lifestyle and a gesture of giving back to the world, one dog walk at a time. I had my own little friend and we spent 12 years together. He battled a few medical issues making me equipped to handle any special needs of your dog. Additionally, throughout my college years, I spent time volunteering at animal shelters providing long walks on trails. While my journey in professional dog walking may have just begun, my lifelong love for dogs shines through in every interaction. My enthusiasm and genuine affection for these friends set me apart.

Megan M.
“I’ve trusted Megan McCaffrey to care for my two dogs—a lively white shepherd and a sensitive, selective pitbull mix—and she’s been nothing short of amazing. Both girls have very different needs, and Megan handles them with grace, patience, and genuine affection. She keeps my shepherd active and engaged while offering calm, reassuring care to my pit mix, who’s often anxious around new people and just in general. Megan’s ability to read their moods and respond with the right energy is something I deeply value. My dogs adore her, and I always feel at ease knowing they’re in her care. She is also fantastic with her own two high maintenance cats! Megan is reliable, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She treats my pets like family and brings a sense of calm and joy to every visit. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and capable pet sitter”
