Elizabeth F.	Hi! I'm Liz, a mom to a preschooler and an elementary-aged kid, and I am a lifelong dog lover. My family and I have owned Airedale terriers and several rescue dogs too, including a large "Benji" lookalike and a pit bull/shepherd mix. I also work in a part-time marketing and office admin job. I enjoy freelance writing and singing, and I love my time with the pups to get in as many doggie cuddles as possible!
Aaron G.	Hi! I’m a dancer and choreographer originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma and I’ve just moved to New York City this summer. I’ve had dogs as a part of my family since I was a toddler all the way up until I moved from Oklahoma. I’ve spent time around dogs of all sizes, temperaments and personalities. I love to be outdoors and to spend time with animals, and I’m so excited to work with you and your wonderful pets!
Ali S.	Hi! I’m Ali and I live in Charlotte with my husband and 2 rescue dogs and 2 rescue cats. I grew up with dogs and have spent 10+ years volunteering at different shelters helping walk dogs and socialize cats. I currently volunteer with a local rescue and foster dogs and I foster cats through CMPD Animal Care and Control. I am passionate about helping animals find wonderful homes and families and I love meeting new animals and helping them socialize and exercise.
Brenda W.	Hi! I’m Brenda and I’ve been working in this industry for a couple years now but this isn’t the first time I’ve worked with fur babies. I have had doggies myself in the past but as of now I have my 2 beautiful cats Orion and Vega who are siblings and the sweetest bunny you’ll ever meet Trinity. When I’m not working I love spending time with my 2 boys Jackson and Colton and of course my fur babies. I live in Huntersville but grew up in the suburbs in Illinois. I love being this close to the mountains and the ocean so you get the best of both worlds
McKayla T.	Hi! I’m McKayla! In the past 4 years, I have cared for a few dogs, a couple of pit bulls, a jack russel and a mastiff, in my family or for family friends. I love the joy dogs bring to the lives of those around them which inspired me to start dog walking! Outside of that, I’m an undergraduate student on a gap semester studying Forensic Psychology and an afterschool preschool teacher. My empathetic and compassionate personality leads me to work in areas where I care for others. I’m excited to utilize my skill set caring for your fur babies!
Carissa H.	Hi! My name is Carissa, and I'm a freelance artist, avid gamer, and lifelong animal lover! As a Long Island native, moving to Brooklyn and being a dog walker has been a dream come true. Nothing recharges the creative batteries like stretching my legs, getting some fresh air, and spending time with dogs; my own little one included. Samwise, my throwback (dire) pomeranian, has been at my side for four years. The animal companion to my ranger, he's as keen, loyal, and stout-hearted as his namesake. He, and all the wonderful dogs that were part of my life growing up, have taught me that they're so much more than pets-- they're family. The epitome of unconditional love, they are deeply empathetic and ever true; deserving nothing short of our very best. As a walker, I strive to provide just that!
Emily S.	Hi! My name is Emily. I’ve been working with dogs since I was 8 years old doing various things such as dog sitting, walking, and even “grooming” some of my neighbors dogs. I have always wanted to do something with animals so I went away to grooming school when I was 19 and have been a groomer for 10 years now! I met the dog I currently have in grooming school. He and his dad (about 75 years of age) would come in every month for Buddys spa day. One day his dad told me that he had been diagnosed with cancer and wouldn’t have long to live so he asked if I would care for Buddy after he passed. Of course I said yes. I fell in love with this dog from the get go. He was a student dog. Which also means he was basically perfect on the table. I didn’t know exactly what I was saying yes to. After he passed, I took Buddy into my care and had no idea how much of a connection we would have! I lost my dad in 2021 and I knew Buddy knew what that felt like. The connection we share is stronger than any dog I have owned. We understand each other. He is my SOUL dog. I hope everyone gets to experience a soul dog at least once in their lives because there is nothing more beautiful!
Jacqueline M.	Hi! My name is Jacqueline. I live in Charlotte, NC and have 3 boy cats. I grew up with larger dogs but as I got older I started to fall in love with cats. With my love for animals I knew I wanted to find a way to make it a part of my life but also knew being a Vet was not for me. Pet sitting was the perfect match so that I could still enjoy being around animals and show them love and care.

The joy animals bring to my heart caring for them, ever since, touches my soul in which giving back to as many beautiful pets is the highlight of my life. believe that I have a natural, blessed bond with animals. I believe in maintaining and giving as much love, compassion, caregiving, attention, kindness, organization and responsibilities to any animal I have the pleasure of coming into contact with under my care just as equally as I give unto my own personal fur babies whom I consider, my family.

Noëlle Marie Z.	Hi! Name’s Noëlle. Growing up, I've been surrounded by dogs of all shapes and sizes, from playful pups to seniors. My experience ranges from help raising a puppy to dog walking and dog/cat sitting. While I'm currently unable to have one of my own, I've found immense joy in lending a helping hand to others and their cherished fur babies! As I navigate through a career transition, I've found myself with plenty of time to dedicate to walking and keeping your furry companions company. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I'm eager to learn all about their unique personalities and preferences. I’m here to ensure your pets receive the love and care they deserve as well as providing as many photos as you’d like throughout the walk! I look forward to meeting you both!

Over the last 25 years I have owned a Miniature Schnauzer for 18 years and presently own as pictured Paul the Poodle for the past 7 years. Paul the Poodle is a rescue dog with special needs. He needs nurturing with anxiety issues and he has a sensitive digestive system. Meals are a special mix and have to be administered in small increments. My wife and I jointly own and love him.
