“Su was absolutely wonderful with Giro. Giro, that is usually poo shy with new people very quickly felt very comfortable 😃 which is a wonderful sign. Thank you Su! We would definitely love to have you walk Giro again”

“Thanks Giuliana for taking care of Harlie with the pick up, the walk and feeding her. She was excited to be back home and it made our life so much easier. You are the best abs I would highly recommend her.”

“I knew a kennel was not something my dog would do well with and I am so happy I found Jana. I met with Jana before booking and I was immediately comfortable with her. Very happy with the care she gave my dog while we were traveling. I will definitely book her again in the future.”


“Kristen has been phenomenal with our dogs! I was initially nervous about having a dog walker, but Kristen has communicated constantly letting us know everything that happened each day. She sends very detailed updates with lots of cute pictures. She also has gone above and beyond cleaning up when our puppy has accidents and taking both of our dogs on long walks. I feel good knowing that she takes such good care of my babies while I’m away at work.”


“AMAZING. If you need someone reliable and that goes beyond this is your sitter. She picked up my request last minute. Ann-Marie provide detailed reviews. She took out my girl to parks and different locations. I 100% recommended Ann-Marie and I will be rebooking with her when I need someone to watch Kilala.”


About: Hi, I’m Lindsay! 🐾 I have dedicated my career to the well-being of animals, blending over a decade of professional dog walking and hands-on pet care with professional veterinary hospital experience. From leading structured off-leash playgroups and serving as a Daycare Shift Supervisor to working as a Client Liaison at MSPCA-Angell Animal Medical Center, I have cared for almost every breed, size, and temperament imaginable. Whether I am providing dedicated house sitting in your home or dropping in for daily walks and check-ins, my background means your fur family is getting far more than standard pet care: - Behavioral Expertise & Comfort: I am highly skilled at reading canine body language, maintaining calm dynamics, and using positive reinforcement to keep anxious or sensitive pets feeling safe and loved. - Medical Peace of Mind: With my veterinary hospital background, I am deeply experienced in administering medications, managing strict schedules, and recognizing subtle signs of health concerns. I am also certified in Dog CPR, First Aid, and Safety. - Seamless Routines & Cleanliness: I take a lot of pride in keeping a tidy, comfortable environment. Food and water bowls stay fresh, your home stays respected and neat, and if the classic New England weather gets messy, your pet gets a cozy towel-dry before settling in. Because my schedule is highly flexible, your pet's exact routine is my top priority. I am a cat owner myself and love caring for both dogs and cats of all comfort levels. I’m always happy to provide detailed credentials and professional references to give you total peace of mind. I’d love to connect via a phone call or a meet-and-greet to see how I can best love and support your pets in the comfort of their own home! Pet care is my daily routine, which means my schedule revolves entirely around the needs of my furry clients and their pet parents! Whether it’s mid-day neighborhood walks, wooded hikes, structured playtime, or accommodating last-minute schedule changes, my current lifestyle allows me to be incredibly dependable, available, and fully present for your pet every single day. A typical day with me is the perfect mix of structure, safety, and pure fun, completely tailored to your pet’s unique groove! Whether your pup needs high-energy hikes and legendary games of fetch to burn off steam, or more leisurely neighborhood strolls and engaging brain games tailored for smaller paws, I customize the day to them. I take a lot of pride in keeping a clean, tidy environment. Food and water bowls are always fresh, play spaces stay neat, and if that classic New England weather gets messy, your pet gets a cozy towel-dry or a refreshing bath before settling in to relax.
“Sarah was awesome at accommodating a last min walk and was so sweet with my pup. She asked great questions and was nice enough to leave out fresh water for my dog when she left. We look forward to having Sarah help again soon!”

“Mengyao is a fantastic walker and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of her services. We booked her on short notice but even still, she was able to accommodate last minute, was highly communicative, and asked thoughtful questions in advance to make sure she was well equipped to handle my two dogs—one of which can be a difficult walker. On top of that, she put me at ease by sending many videos and photos throughout the walk, which was very much appreciated! We will definitely have Mengyao walk our dogs again.”

About: I have lovingly taken care of my dog for the past 7 years and have been trusted with caring for my neighbor's dogs of many sizes and breeds. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I will most likely be available any day of the week and anytime for you and your dog's needs. I promise to be respectful of both your dogs and your home. Having an energetic dog who overheats quickly, I have experience in providing safe walks and playtime in the summer heat. I am also more than capable of whatever things your dog may need such as bathroom breaks, crating, or feeding.
“Arianna was amazing with Thor and sent us a lot of pictures from their walks! She was on time every day and provided a great report card after each walk. We highly recommend her!”

“Michelle is wonderful! My dog went suddenly blind a few months ago and has had a hard time adapting, especially on walks which make her nervous. I hired Michelle to walk Gracie twice a week to help her have gentle, positive practice to build her confidence back up. Michelle has been amazing with her. She is so patient with Gracie and in tune with her needs and emotional state. Within a few minutes of meeting her, Gracie was more comfortable walking with Michelle than she is with my husband. After two weeks, Gracie is already noticeably more comfortable on walks. We are so lucky we found Michelle!”
About: I have been around dogs all of my life. Growing up in the Hudson Valley, we had two dogs: an American Pit Bull Terrier and an APBT Staffie mix. They were the most athletic and lovey dogs! They completed a five mile hike that has a fairly long and vertical scramble section at 14 years old! In their senior years, they had medical issues so I am experienced with med management and adopting activities to their capabilities. Currently, my fiance and I have a half APBT, half Siberian Husky dog. He is the best! We adopted him from a family that kept him in his crate for so long that he bit off a large portion of the hair on his tail. He was reactive in the beginning, lunging at cars on the road and barking and lunging at dogs on walks. I used Spirit Dog Training’s reactivity course and my education in behavioral psychology and research to fix these issues. He no longer does either things and his hair has grown back in spades! We keep him busy by training him (tricks) and mentally stimulated with sniff walks and games like find it, as well as off leash time, hikes, runs, etc. We love hiking with Oto: he recently completed numerous hikes in Acadia National Park and has done Camel’s Hump in VT and Mt. Osceola in NH: he plans on completing the NH 48! In general, I love being outside and active: hiking, snowshoeing, snowboarding, running, kayaking, rock climbing and going to the gym. I love all dogs, but have a particular drive to keep working dogs happy and healthy! German Shepherds, Border Collies, Huskies, Cattle Dogs, Anatolian Shepherds: it is amazing what they can do and how they have served our communities in numerous roles for decades. I have spent a lot of time with my sister’s German Shepherd and half GSD half Anatolian dogs. I also volunteered at a therapeutic horseback riding center and rode horseback for several years; I find being around horses to be great training for how to interact with, and train, dogs. They are so big that they don’t HAVE to listen to you. Maintaining confidence (even if you don’t feel like it) and a steady hand go a long way, as well as keeping aware of their body language and behaviors. They are very sensitive creatures. In the Fall of 2026, I am resuming my graduate program in clinical social work and have indicated my availability in the details section. However, those times and days don't apply during winter and summer breaks (open availability then). Please share your dog's behaviors and needs with me before scheduling walks. If your dog is reactive (barks at dogs on walks or lunges) please let me know and I can adjust the walking route and make sure to give other dogs plenty of space. Let me know what their usual distance on walks is, as I can try to adjust my pace accordingly. I have a lot of experience with this (decades). If you have treats for your dog, I can take them out with me if needed.
“Tiffany is the best! I had to go into the office last minute and Winnie has a bit of separation anxiety so luckily Tiffany came to the rescue. Tiffany could not have been more communicative and left me comfortable Winnie was in the right hands. 11/10 will book again!”

“Thank you Sean! Sean was amazing with our Aussie Rusty. We were not at home for the week and Sean picked up and dropped off Rusty from our elder parents. They said he was so nice chatting with them, punctual every day, making sure Rusty got his long walks and did his business. Sean sent us a daily report card with photos along the walk and charted out new neighborhoods in our town. Rusty must have loved that! We had a heavy downpour one of the days and Sean took the time to make sure Rusty was all dried up after the walk. It was such a positive experience for us all thanks to Sean and without hesitation we would recommend Sean to any one who want their babies :) cared for when you are away.”

“Oliver was great and handled my two weirdo dogs very well. I came home to happy pups and he communicated well. I would love to work with him again, thank you so much Oliver!”
“My 2 dogs get so excited for walks with Eli! They come back happy and tired which means it was a very successful walk :) Eli does a great job handling both of them and they really enjoy their walks with him.”

“Tanya did a great job taking our boxer Nala on daily afternoon walks. She was great at communicating any changes in her schedule with me, flexible to meet my needs to care for Nala, and always polite and professional. Thank you so much for you help Tanya! It was comforting knowing that Nala was in good hands while we were away.”

Callie and Thor love walking with Mengyao!! Grandma says they get so excited when she walks in the door and they come back from their walks nice and tired!! I got great updates and pictures from the walks that we knew they were well taken care of!! I highly recommend Mengyao for your dog walking needs- she is amazing!!

First time introducing our dog Tsuki to Thomas and Emma and it went extremely well! Our dog takes a while to warm up to new people, but it didn’t take long for her to play with them and ask for pets. Tsuki enjoyed a great fetch session with Emma today. I’m sure she will enjoy the next ones as much!

Although it was her first time meeting Terry, she handled him with ease and took him on a great walk. She made sure he was comfortable by taking short breaks and offering him water when needed. She communicated with me throughout the visit, asked if there was anything else Terry might need, and followed all of my requests. I really appreciated her care and attention to detail.
