About: I've spent a lot of my adult years with dogs around and have been trusted many times by family. I've had my husky, Togo, spend the week with me multiple times while my dad has been on vacation or just because I wanted to spend time with him while I was up at school in my DPT program or in undergrad. I also have some experience working in an animal hospital! I'm currently not working, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your beautiful pets! I would be available weekdays and weekends. I can easily adapt to schedules and needs of your pets to make it the best experience possible for them! I like to set expectations prior so there isn't any miscommunication and always having an open line of communication throughout. I will always send pictures and updates of your pets too.
About: I have been very passionate about animals and the environment since I was 3 years old! I grew up around so many animals and it encouraged me to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. At a very young age I was introduced the opportunity to petsit for dogs and cats/kittens in my family. Later around 8 years ago I was able to start working in a more professional manner and cared for not only cats, kittens, and dogs but birds, different reptiles, and some aquatic pets! All these experiences are amazing and they just motivate my love and passion for animals. I have worked with pets of all ages as well as many with special diets and medications. Aside from my experience, I am a very energetic person! I love to go on hikes, runs, bikes, you name it! You can rest assured that your fur babies will get all the love, care, and enjoyment with me! I am an undergraduate student and I am currently a vet technician/assistant practicing with a couple clinica , which allows me plenty of time to care for your lovely fur babies! My availability is very flexible right now. I do have a large fenced yard! I have 1 energetic doggie named Milo and 2 cats named Blue and Maya Papaya. Milo does have social anxiety, so I will keep separate in order for both parties to feel comfortable. And for my cats they are very soft, kind, and friendly with everyone including dogs. You can rest assured that your baby is in great hands, as my top priority is their trust, comfort, and health!
About: I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, and more, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m especially attentive to small details — like changes in behavior, appetite, or mood — so I can make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you’re away. I have experience with energetic dogs who need structured walks and patience, as well as more sensitive or anxious pets who need a calm, gentle approach. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple pets at once and maintaining clean, safe environments (including litter boxes, cages, and feeding areas). What really sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give — I don’t just “watch” pets, I bond with them. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in loving, reliable hands. Pet care is a big part of my everyday routine. I care for multiple animals at home, including dogs and cats, so I’m used to staying on a consistent schedule for feeding, cleaning, and giving each pet attention. I make time daily for walks, playtime, and bonding, and I’m very attentive to their behavior and needs. Caring for animals isn’t something I do occasionally—it’s part of my lifestyle, and I truly enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences. I make sure pets have a clean, safe environment, plenty of attention, and regular potty breaks or exercise depending on their needs. I’m very attentive to behavior and will quickly notice if something seems off. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they feel reassured while they’re away. Whether I’m in my home or theirs, I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel safe, loved, and well cared for.
About: I enjoy cats and dogs as I have had my own, currently pet sit for my roommates cats while she’s on vacation. Cuddle puddles are my favorite pastime Evenings and weekends are preferred, can be flexible. I can do drop ins anytime past 6pm on the weekdays and anytime on the weekends. Emergency calls can also be arranged. I care for pets by slowly introducing myself, first by smell then when comfortable, by touch. I give treats when warranted, but ensure no over feeding/snacking. Lastly I cuddle with pets who are most comfortable.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was a child, whether they were family or friends or my own pets, I made sure to make myself available when they needed me. My experience includes dog sitting, dog walking and even taking care of medication. I’m currently finishing up college so I am available before and after my classes with any availability on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. When summer starts I will be working part-time at an internship so I will have continued availability that I will update as soon as I can. I have one dog and one cat living at home with me. They are both older now but I’ve had them since they were babies. I am responsible for both animals, for example cleaning up after both of them, feeding them, taking my dog out 3x a day.
“We are so so grateful for Caroline! She’s on top of communication and came out to meet our dogs before she started doing walks. She’s done a number of walks for us now! She stayed in touch and accommodated even our most random requests like pulling things out of our freezer for our dogs to use after their walks. We will continue to reach out to her as long as she’s available!! Thank you for being so great to our girls!”

About: I’ve had a special love for animals that started at a young age. For years, friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, and care for their pets while giving them plenty of love and attention. I currently have four dogs and a parrot, and I’m very comfortable caring for pets of different personalities and needs. I also previously worked at an emergency veterinary hospital as a receptionist, where I learned a lot about pet health, behavior, and the importance of following care instructions closely. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, and I always treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. I care for my own dogs every day, so feeding, walks, playtime, and routines are second nature to me. I plan my schedule to allow time for drop-in visits and make sure each pet gets my full attention during our time together. I’m reliable, organized, and flexible, and I treat every visit as a priority, not something rushed or squeezed in. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and carefully follow all instructions provided. I make sure pets stay on their usual routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication schedules. I give them plenty of attention and affection to help them feel comfortable while their owner is away. I also keep the home tidy and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: I'm an experienced and passionate animal lover who excels at caring for both dogs and cats. Whether it's keeping your pets active, comfortable, or simply offering companionship, I’m dedicated to providing the best care with a focus on safety and well-being. Neighbors and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and spend time with their furry friends. You can trust me to treat your pets like family! I’m currently working part-time, but schedule is flexible as of right now. Currently, Monday through Sunday after 2pm I am available for walking, drop-ins, and overnights When caring for pets in clients' homes, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I follow specific instructions for feeding, playtime, and any special needs. I ensure their environment stays clean, provide plenty of attention, and maintain a calm and familiar atmosphere to keep them relaxed. I can also communicate regularly with updates to give you peace of mind while you're away.

About: I’ve owned a dog since I was in fifth grade. I love dog walking and have dog sat for plenty of neighbors, friends, and family over the years. I take pride in giving pets the best time they can have while there owners are away! I work at an animal shelter part time where I provide care mostly for cats and at a dog groomer where I love on all the pups and make them look their best! I can teach your pet tricks as well. Right now, I am working part-time so I have lots of time to take care of your pet. Just let me know your schedule and I’ll get back to you. I will take the best care of your home and treat it as if it is my own. I don’t mind cleaning up any pet messes.
“Sheri is great with my senior dog! She arrives on time and gives him a nice long walk. I know She is very patient with him as he has slowed down quite a bit. I’ve only had Sheri a walk my Gotti a couple of weeks but I feel very confident that he is in good hands with her!”
“Karishma was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond for caring for my fur baby! She sent me multiple pictures and always checked in on how he was during her visit! I would highly recommend Karishma and will definitely be using her again.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them most of my life, so being attentive to their needs comes naturally to me. I treat every pet like they’re my own; making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and pay close attention to routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just giving them the extra affection they’re used to. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins for peace of mind. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious dogs and take the time to help them feel at ease. My fiance Eric has also always grown up with dogs and was responsible for taking care of dogs and his cat while growing up and they all lived will into their senior years. I work full time where I commute Monday-Friday. Weekends I’m home. My Fiancé also works full time but he gets out a little earlier than I do. For weekend stays we are available to give your furry family the most attention and care. If there is need during the week I’m usually away from home for 10 hours during the day including my commute time to and from work. We will walk and feed them before we leave in the morning and as soon as either of us gets home will do the same and then again before bedtime. In our home, pets are cared for in a calm, safe environment. We live on the second floor of a house in a suburban neighborhood with sidewalks, which allows for safe, structured walks. While we don’t have direct yard access, we make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and attention. I also have a senior cat who is naturally shy and takes time to warm up, so I’m very understanding of pets who may be anxious or need a slower, more gentle approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always aim to make them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.
“Mona was amazing! She went above and beyond every day we used her services. For example, she communicated each day, sending a handful of photos of our dog, who she was hired to walk, but also taking the extra step to send photos of our cat who happened to greet her at the door as well. Another day while walking Murphy, she offered to move our car out of the driveway because the house next door was performing construction and she wanted to assure our car would be safe from the flying debris. Finally, on the last day of her walking job I had sent her a last-minute request, but she had already left the house. Regardless, she moved things around so she could come back in a couple hours to perform the request...even taking our pup out again, just to be safe. Mona is everything you look for in a dog walker. I'm so happy to have her nearby for the next time I need someone to walk our pup.”

About: Dog walking is something I love to do. I take my dog (a boisterous standard schnauzer with quite the mind of his own!) on a walk everyday and love to help others out by giving their pup some exercise! I know that all dogs are unique, so I will take great care to make sure that I follow any instructions given and make this a great experience for the dog. I am good at reading a dog’s body language and know techniques to help calm a dog down if it gets overstimulated and will take necessary steps to ensure the dog’s comfort. I also know my way around the neighborhood, and can take the pup to new and exciting places (within the owners comfort level of course!) so they have a great time! As a recent college graduate, I have a very flexible schedule with ample time to dedicate to taking care of pets. I usually do morning and evening walks (as to avoid too high temperatures) and throughout the day can provide general pet care. I have a large, fenced in yard that pups can run freely in with my own dog. There is also a pool that they can use (under strict supervision of course!) and they have free access to all areas inside the house. We are also conscientious about making sure there are no dangerous things lying around (eg. socks, small items) that the dog can get to.
About: I’m 46 years young. I have a great love for dogs. I myself have a morkie who I treat like my child. I would do the same for your pet as well. I would give your pet the attention and loving care it needs when you are away from home. I will play with your dog and give TLC. I will feed and give fresh water and I can give medication if needed. I understand how you as a parent are concerned for your animal as I am A dog mom as well. Rest assured your pet will not be neglected. This is not just a paycheck. I generally love being around pets as I am a big animal lover. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions ty

Samantha is the best! She is trustworthy, reliable, and an excellent communicator. My Goldendoodle, Jax, absolutely loves her, and I always feel completely comfortable knowing he is in her care. It's such a relief to have someone I can trust with my dog, and I highly recommend her.
Zoey was amazing and accepted our last minute dog walking request, which we truly appreciated! She was communicative, reliable, and took great care of Beaux during his walk. It was reassuring to know he was in such good hands on short notice. Thank you, Zoey, for your flexibility and kindness. We would absolutely book with you again in the future!

We are so so grateful for Caroline! She’s on top of communication and came out to meet our dogs before she started doing walks. She’s done a number of walks for us now! She stayed in touch and accommodated even our most random requests like pulling things out of our freezer for our dogs to use after their walks. We will continue to reach out to her as long as she’s available!! Thank you for being so great to our girls!
