“Sean was SO GREAT with Walter. I loved that he has other dogs that Walter could play with, and he was warm and inviting and very communicative. Walter had a ball. We will use him again for sure! GREAT dog sitter!!”


“As first-time dog parents, the thought of leaving our adolescent puppy was anxiety-inducing, to say the absolute least. After several long, full daycare sessions with Josh, this process has become seamless, reassuring, and immensely positive for not only my partner and I, but most importantly, for our dog, Nato. We wholeheartedly appreciate the person Josh is, which is so clear in his care of Nato…and his (Nato’s) exuberant eagerness to always go back!”


“Renee was great. Excellent communication in setting up the sit. Very personable and flexible. Chewie had a comfortable stay and we will definitely use Renee again!!”


“Lindsay was great! She kept me updated on my pup and it made me feel more at ease with leaving her for the day. I will def. Use Lindsay's service again! Very pleased”


“Blue is always happy to see Miss Ru. And I know he’s in good hands.”


“Marina was super flexible with us and our schedule, which we really appreciated! She also was very patient and understanding with my anxious dog. She provided a great, comfortable environment for me and we will definitely use her again in the future!”


“Remi did a great job caring for Duckie! She had lots of updates and pictures. She took him on a long walk and gave him lots of snuggles. I will definitely be booking with Remi again:)”


About: Hi there! My name is Katherine, and I'm a passionate and experienced pet lover who would love to take care of your furry friends. I've been surrounded by animals my whole life, and I believe that every pet deserves love, attention, and a safe environment. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just a cozy cuddle session, I’m here to make sure your pet feels right at home. I’m comfortable with all types of dogs, cats, and small animals, and I can offer tailored services depending on your pet's needs. I’m happy to update you with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands. Let’s connect and see how I can help with your pet care needs! I currently work from home and would not be gone for periods of time greater than a couple hours. Since we're home a majority of the time and have our own pets to care for, we welcome short notice visits. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet, and I promise to provide the same care and attention that I give my own pets.

“Susan has been a fabulous fit for our pups and our needs. She is a true animal lover, has a big fenced back yard where the dogs can frequently run and play, and she treats each dog like her own. Having my pups stay with Susan is like having them experience a trip to a “grandma’s” house, of sorts. They definitely get loved on!”


“Caitlin has been a wonderful dog sitter for my pup! She gives such great care and I feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her. She is very communicative. Would definitely recommend.”


“This was the first time using someone to watch my 5 mo old puppy. So glad to have found Linda! Grace was well taken care of and came home exhausted after a day of play.”


About: We have been with dogs and other animals our whole life and love dogs. Our Shiba Inu, Sami, is our fourth baby. Your pet will get the attention and safety he/she needs and will be treated no different than our own. Our work hours are flexible and we prioritize our walks with our pet so it will be the same as others. Sami gets 2 walks and 3-4 bathroom breaks per day We treat your home with the same care and respect as ours and will follow your instructions very closely as instructed. Typically, bathroom break between 3-4 hours and at least 3 times per day for each dog

“Lisa was very communicative and Shelby had a great time at her house for the day. We were completely comfortable leaving Shelby in her care as she was immediately welcoming and careful to get Shelby comfortable at her home slowly.”


About: Welcome to Riverside Park! My husband, Nick, and I have both been caring for animals since we were children. As educators, we have the flexibility to meet your pet's needs on your schedule. Whether your pet needs daily check it's, walks, or a place to stay while you're away, we are ready to accommodate! At our home, we have a small yard perfect for potty breaks and tug-o-war. We are also minutes away from the stunning Riverside Park, where our 2-year-old collie/shepherd mix, Fela (female, spayed), loves to get tuckered out on our daily walks. We can't wait to meet you and your pet! Let's find a time to see if it would be a good fit :) We are off for the summer, so we are able to work around your schedule! We are available for daily walks, feeding, check-ins, and boarding. Pick up and drop off available for a small fee. Please let us know ahead of time a little bit about your pet, including any special needs, so we can be prepared to care for them. We want both you and your pet to feel safe and comfortable! We want to respect your space and your pet's needs. For check-ins and walks, if your dog prefers not to have company, our dog Fela does not need to accompany us. However, it is still a good idea to arrange an initial meeting between us, you, and your pet to make sure everyone is comfortable. For boarding, please arrange a time for us and our dogs get introduce to one another to ensure our house is a good fit. You are welcome to come see our home to make sure it is safe for your furry friend, and/or we are happy to meet at the park first if that is more comfortable.

About: I absolutely love working with dogs! I have at least 9 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats! I volunteered in the cattery in Humane Society and walking dogs as well. I work remotely and can flex my schedule to spend time watching pets or walking your dog. I am very flexible and I can easily work with your scheduling. I have a backyard, but I prefer to walk dogs frequently and take them outside myself for fresh air and outdoor play. We have only 1 pet rabbit, and keep him separated when there is a furry house guest.


“Amazing… Michael did a fabulous job caring for my dog, Gizzy, mist the day. First they met and everything went as planned. Thank you Michael for your professionalism and kindness.”


About: I’m the person who sits on the floor at a party and befriends the pets. I’m 36 and very fortunate to have a flexible work from home career. Throughout my life I’ve cared for a variety of furry, feathered, and even scaly friends. I’d love to help care for yours. Bonus: I have a medical background so I won’t shy away from a messy, sticky, slobbery situation. 😉 I’m so lucky to work from home full time. My job is flexible, so my pet care availability is too. I can work with a variety of days/hours/care levels as needed. I treat every pet as if it were my own. Loving on them, meeting their daily needs, adjusting my approach based on the individual animal. Just like people, every pet is different and will thrive in a loving, trusting environment.

About: I’ve owned dogs all my life. I believe they are more than pets, they are trusted friends. I will treat your dog as if he/she were my own. I work primarily from home. I’m away only 10-15 hours per week. I’m very flexible and willing to work with you for the love and benefit of your pet. I live in my new built home. There is a lot of area outside where we can walk, but I’ll never leave a dog unattended. I have my kids (aged 16 & 18) part time. They may be around. My kids love dogs.

“Megan did a great job watching our pup. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. Harley was EXHAUSTED when we left, which is always a great sign. Will definitely use her again.”

Melissa S.
“The very first meeting with Melissa demonstrated her love of, and compassion for, animals. She immediately sat on the floor and took a "selfie" with my dog, Tadpole, a Clumber Spaniel. On their walks, Melissa has taken SO many pictures-- not because I requested them, but because she was completely engaged in the experience. I hired a dog walker because I was recovering from hip replacement surgery. Melissa has been a blessing. She is so enthusiastic, energetic, and caring-- I feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a gem for dog care! I would trust her for pet sitting, without reservation.”

Marc S.
“Marc has cared for my dog Norman several times. Two of those were for a week. At first, you're always a little hesitant to drop off your pet with someone they don't know, but it was clear right away that Marc would take good care of Norman. He would text pictures of Norman doing funny things or just relaxing. I truly appreciate Marc, and would highly recommend him for any pet services. Feel free to contact me with any further questions.”
