Hey everyone! I just had to share my wonderful experience with Emily, my dog walker. She's incredibly attentive and considerate. Whenever I ask her to, she always puts on my dogs jacket to keep him warm and cozy. Emily ask keeps me updated with her arrival time, which is super helpful. When my dog comes back from his walk, she makes sure he has plenty of water by filling his bowl. And guess what? She even gives him the treats I provide! Talk about going above and beyond. Oh, and did I mention that she wipes off his paws when it is wet outside? Such a thoughtful touch! If your're looking for a dog walker who truly cares, I high recommend Emily. She's is pawsome!🐾

Julia was wonderful to work with. Because of her, we were able to go on a long day trip during our Cape Cod vacation and know that our beloved dog was well taken care of.

From the start, Dan has been great! He responded quickly to my inquiry, set up a time to get to know our pup and his routine, and has been extremely flexible with our schedule. He took our German shepherd out on a long walk and came back later in the day for some play time and tired him out good! I would recommend Dan to anyone looking for a dog walker or sitter☺️

Great experience with Sebastian. Frost was very relaxed when I got home later so had clearly had a fun romp. I would book Sebastian again.

About: I have experience training both kittens and puppies with the basics (litter box, sit, stay, etc.) I've been told I am the "most patient" person with animals, and I would agree. There is no pet too rambunctious for me. I have a class schedule during the week, but I am more than happy to adjust my schedule however I can to meet yours and your pet's needs. For visits, I can play with them and their favorite toys if you provide them. I can provide my own toys if needed. Also, I can take them out for walks around your neighborhood or drive them to a field to play if allowed. If there are any specifics, please feel free to reach out and I'll be happy to accommodate!

Gianna is great! She was able to help me out on fairly short notice. She was on-time, sweet with my gentle pup, and let me know how her walk & visit went. I'll contact her again if/when I need help!

About: Hello, I'm Lisa! I have taken care of a variety of animals for the last 20 years! Currently, I have two guinea pigs, Scooby and Shaggy. They are my little pride and joy. Over the years, I have had dogs, cats, bunnies, fish! I can handle any age of any pets: Puppies to seniors! I have experience in housing breaking puppies, and even assisting senior dogs. I can handle any type of pet, temperament, and age. Each week I make my own work schedule, which means I can change my schedule to accommodate your pet. I have a very flexible work schedule that I am allowed to work from home or leave work to go home to tend to your pet. I also can take your pet to my work (office setting) if you would allow that! I would make sure your pet is my top priority! I would spoil them with love and attention. However, I would honor your normal feeding times/restrictions and respect any rules you put into place. Playing time is a must! I currently working part time, taking one summer class, and I have. internship. The class and internship are online thus I can work from your home. Plus I make my own work schedule week by week so I can accomadate to your pet needs! When I am at a clients home safety and respect and my top priorities. Before letting a dog outside I will check to make sure the fence are locked. I will always make sure windows and doors are locked before leaving, and just before I will do one final check to make sure all food it put away and crates are locked. (If using crate). I will follow all clients instructions and ask for a print out list of instructions so there is no communication error. I won’t cross any owners boundaries.

About: After losing my beloved greyhound, Lucy, about a year ago, I've been longing to be around dogs more often. I have taken care of friends and neighbors dogs while Lucy was still here and in the past year. I am a college student with mostly remote classes so I am very flexible on time! Anytime that works for you I can most likely fit into my schedule. I can stay overnight with your pup or come in intermittently throughout the day to check in on them, Whatever you guys are most comfortable with.

Lea was the absolute best! We were left in a bind last minute the day before Christmas Eve and she was able to accommodate us for 2 walks/day until we got home- was able to come over that same evening we reached out to her to do a quick meet and greet and Nola loved her right away. We immediately felt so much relief trusting her to take great care of her. Always made sure to give us an update, even played with her indoors when our stubborn Nola who hates rain wouldn’t go outside :) would 100% rebook and recommend to all!

Nate is a wonderfully kind, responsible and loving pet caregiver! He's the caregiver of an anxious dog, and has made enormous strides with increasing her comfort around situations that she perceives as "scary". He is very positive and great with reinforcements - as well as very physically strong. I strongly recommend him as caregiver and dog-walker!

Brielle is a natural with dogs and took our two pups on a big walk which helped us tire them out. One is 7 and one is 6 months. She was very punctual and we’ll definitely book her again!
