Natalia K. –  Dog Walker & Pet Sitter Extraordinaire

“I absolutely adore and love animals, and it is so wonderful to spend time caring for them.
I grew up with two cats, a yellow lab, and birds that we often bird-sat for.
My fourth toddler at home is our Boston Terrier, Bluey – who is truly a hilarious pup filled with tons of energy! I enjoy seeing what interesting finds dogs sniff out on their walks, and learning where their favorite routines and walking spots are.
Working with Top Dog and Jessica has been the perfect balance while also working in my other roles as a graduate student and Mom to three little kiddos.
A smiling pet is the best greeting and part of my day – thank you for sharing your fur babies with us!”

Janet S. 

I have been pet sitting and dog walking for Top Dog for nearly two and a half years.

I have loved animals and nature my entire life, and always had a pet – dog, guinea pig, tropical fish, gerbils, canaries and parakeets, to name a few.

As an adult, I taught high school biology and zoology and gathered more pets, and pet care knowledge including lizards, tortoises, turtles, rats, hamsters, finches, chinchilla, and salt water habitats.

My “soul dog” was my mini schnauzer named Chauncey, who was with me for sixteen years.

My favorite thing about pet sitting is being able to provide clients with peace of mind when they need to be away from their beloved pets. The most gratifying part is being able to get to know the wonderful personalities of the pets I meet.

Heather A. 

When asked, “Are you a dog person or a cat person?” my answer is always the same: Yes! I’m also a rabbit, bird, fish and chinchilla person. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and I love caring for them all!

A few years back I started volunteering as a walker for my local animal shelter and that’s where I found my calling. I quickly left my retail career to start my dream job with Top Dog!
My passion is getting to know the individual needs of your pet so they always feel joyful and comfortable with me! Does your Golden Retriever love to play in the snow? Awesome, so do I! Have a Westie who adores a walk in the rain? Great, we’re going puddle jumping! Did your favorite feline just have surgery and needs lots of extra love? No problem – Let me administer those aftercare meds and then we’re snuggling! My top three priorities are always making sure your pet is kept safe, happy and healthy!
I have experience with all kinds of pups and am comfortable with all the wonderful shapes, sizes and personalities they come in! Reactive, anxious, excitable or shy? That’s great! I’ll happily learn how to best care for your pet and any of their exceptional needs!
Not only do I have the best job in the world but also I’m blessed to live with my four best friends – My husband, our son and our two crazy cats. I can’t wait to meet your furry (or feathered, or scaly!) family members and shower them with so much love!

Heidi H. 

Pet sitter and dog walker for Top Dog since summer of 2021. This is honestly the most incredible and rewarding job I’ve ever had! I grew up in NH with many pets of my own. After high school I spent 10 years in NYC pursuing music and audio school. During my time in NYC, I picked up jobs caring for city pups and fell in love with it.

I returned to NH to be near family, get back to nature and pick up hairdressing skills, but quickly found myself wanting to care for animals again.

I truly enjoy taking photos of all the pups and I love making my clients happy when they see the pictures!

Tara B

Hello! My name is Tara, and I’m a passionate animal lover. I’ve had several dogs, cats, guinea pigs, frogs and fish as pets through the years. I was also a member of the 4H horse club.

When I’m not caring for pets, I love spending time with my husband, two teenagers and my dog Daisy. I enjoy going to the beach, hanging out around the fire pit with family, and watching the wildlife that visits our backyard.  Daisy is determined to catch a squirrel!

I take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with both pets and their owners. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I treat them like family.

Whether your furry friend needs a daily walk, a playful visit, or overnight stay, I’m here to make sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while you’re away.

Elise S.

While I love my two beautiful cats to the moon and back, being able to live vicariously through our clients and their loving families is truly a blessing.

I can’t believe I get paid to hang out and play with all these amazing fur babies. Whether it’s a wiggling bum, a slobbery kiss or a highly-poised meow; those greetings are the best part of my day.

I bring a large amount of empathy to the table and pride myself in being able to handle just about any temperment and special needs for our clients-inclulding administering medications, both orally and intramuscularly.

Developing a trusting relationship with the animals and their humans is such a rewarding bonus to this job. And it’s hard not to when all our clients and their fur babies are such good-eggs.

We are truly blessed to be doing this job!

Gina

Hello! My name is Gina and I am 57 years old and retired. My passion has always been animals, so when I retired I wanted to get a part time job working with animals.

I worked in pet sitting/dog walking in Michigan for 4 years and have been working at Top Dog for the past year.

There’s nothing that brightens my day more than spending time with dogs and cats, and I do my very best each and every day to make sure that they feel the same way! I am married and have 3 kitties of my own, Milo, Max and Layla.

Jenn O.

I’ve loved animals of all kinds ever since I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, and a budgie. I’m currently fascinated by turtles and would love to have a parrot. I have a special affinity for dogs and completed obedience and some agility training with Neo, my Jack Russell mix.

Right now, I’m studying (with assistance from Leia, my Australian Shepherd mix) to become a CPDT, and I completed the PetTech PetSaver CPR, First Aid & Care certification.
In my other life I’m an accountant/auditor, yet caring for pets fills my heart in ways nothing else can.  I hope I get a chance to care for your pet soon!
