Jen was absolutely amazing. I was a dunce and forgot I had my old address in my profile and she was gracious enough to come to our actual place to still complete the walk even though she had arrived at my old place already. My dog is reactive to other dogs while on leash and I witnessed first hand how well she handled her while seeing another dog. I’m looking forward to using her services regularly!!

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 16. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed and take care of their dogs. I am comfortable taking dogs for long walks around the neighborhood or to the dog park, and I have stayed in home as a pet sitter. My family has a dog and I am involved in her care and play time on a daily basis. I have a very flexible schedule and have lots of time for your pup. I am available for late morning and afternoon walks and playtime. I have an energetic 60 pound dog. I am used to walking a strong dog and can easily handle a dog that may pull. I am happy to walk your dog in your neighborhood and/or play in your yard. I will work with whatever routine your dog is accustomed to.

Gabriela was great! She was super adaptable and stopped over on such short notice to meet Steve the night before we needed a walker. She handled all of our needs, kept us updated on everything and provided pictures of her walk with Steve! She did a great job and we know Steve had fun on his walk. We highly recommend Gabriela and we will be using her again in the future

About: I've lived with pets (cats and dogs) since I was 12 years old and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. Got a big dog that likes to pull? I'm 6' tall, strong, gentle, and patient. People's cats tend to like me even when they're antisocial with strangers. I love to go on walks or hang out and play. I work part time in the evenings so I am typically most available during regular working hours (9-5) but can accommodate requests for evening visits with enough advance notice. I can't board animals at my apartment but I'm happy to visit yours! I have a car and can travel if you'd like me to take your dog for a walk in the woods for extra enrichment.

About: Caring for animals has been a constant part of my life. I grew up in a home that always had two dogs at a time, and before moving out, my family had raised six wonderful dogs together. From energetic pups to older companions, I’ve experienced the full range of what it means to care for dogs through different stages of life. I currently share my home with two special-needs cats, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. Managing medications, monitoring behavior changes, and creating a calm, safe environment are all things I take seriously. My primary goal when caring for your pet is simple: I want them to feel happy, secure, and relaxed while you’re away. I also know how important peace of mind is for owners. I’m communicative, reliable, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and cared for. I treat every animal with gentleness, respect, and the kind of attention I would want for my own pets. I work remotely in IT for a nonprofit organization, which gives me a very flexible weekday schedule. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having some furry company during the week. Whether that means a midday walk to break up my workday or a fuzzy companion nearby while I’m at my desk. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to structure my schedule around walks, feeding times, medication needs, or check-ins. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches, and you can expect consistent updates while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your routines and instructions carefully. I follow feeding schedules, medication needs, walking routines, and house rules closely so your pet’s world feels as consistent and familiar as possible while you’re away. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident everything is going smoothly. If your pet stays in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. They will have their own dedicated space in my finished basement office that is clean, hazard-free, and separate from my cats. This allows visiting pets to relax without feeling overwhelmed, and ensures everyone stays safe and stress-free. The space includes a comfortable couch just for them, plenty of room to stretch out, and a calm environment away from household noise. I’m home during the day, so they’ll receive regular supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention, balanced with quiet time to rest.

About: As a lifelong dog owner and proud owner of a golden retriever, I understand the love and care these furry friends deserve. I am passionate about providing the best companionship, exercise, and attention to your dog—just like I do for my own. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’m dedicated to making sure your dog feels loved, safe, and happy. Let me be your trusted partner in caring for your pup and giving them the attention they deserve! I’m an educator and currently have an open summer schedule to give your dog plenty of love and attention. I am open for a daily or weekly care plan. The way I care for pets, whether in my own home or a client's, depends on their specific needs and the services provided. I prioritize safety, love, and attention. I ensure they have water and food. I tailor activities to their age, breed, and health requirements—like walks, playtime, or cuddles. If I'm caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their instructions carefully and keep open communication to ensure everything runs smoothly.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments since I was 18. Now working in the medical side, I am able to make sure pets get their medications (including insulin) appropriately. I am mostly able to care for pets during the weekends or at nights. My work schedule at the veterinarian keeps me busy during the weekdays. I am unfortunately not able to offer pet care at my personal home. I am more than willing to travel to a clients house to care for their pets in their most comfortable environment.

About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was 10 years old, and over the years I’ve also pet-sat for friends and neighbors — looking after both their cats and dogs. From daily walks and grooming to playtime and companionship, I truly enjoy keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. I also have a Shiba Inu of my own, so I understand how much love, energy, and attention pets need. I regularly handle vet visits, grooming appointments, and all the daily care that comes with keeping a dog active and well-behaved. I’m friendly, reliable, and trustworthy, and I take pride in providing dependable, careful care to both pets and their owners. My services include in-home pet sitting, workday check-ins, feedings, and cleaning litter boxes, cages, and kennels — everything your pet needs to feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care is already a part of my daily routine through caring for my own pets, and my flexible work schedule allows me to reliably accommodate visits, walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the week. I always respect my clients’ home rules and follow each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide attentive care, regular feedings, playtime, walks, cleanup, and plenty of love and companionship while maintaining a clean and safe environment.

Where do I begin, Lizzy was amazing…I had hip replacement surgery and Lizzy walked my boy Jack for over 2 weeks. Lizzy was easy to work with and made it easy for me to recover from my surgery and not stress on caring for Jack. She would feed him after his morning walk and doled out treats following his afternoon & evening walks. I have already referred several people in my building to Lizzy. I didn’t want to tell her but she she definitely be charging more 🤣 If you need a trustworthy person to care for your Furr babies then Lizzy is your girl.

As first time puppy parents, we felt a little anxious about hiring someone to help care for Milo, but Rick quickly calmed our nerves. He clearly prioritized our puppy’s comfort, asking plenty of great questions at the meet and greet. Rick was punctual, a reliable communicator, and took the cutest pics of Milo! We will be rebooking and highly recommend Rick without hesitation. :)
