Hi! I'm Micah Gilpin, 21, from Newton, MA. I've been babysitting since I was 12 and have over 8 years of childcare experience with kids ages 1-14, across babysitting, sports camps, and sailing programs.
Until this summer, I was a camp director at a sailing camp in Orleans, managing 30+ campers daily — overseeing safety, supervising staff, and building lesson plans. I'm CPR, First Aid, and Stop the Bleed certified, and have experience with children with diabetes, hearing loss, food allergies, and autism. I've also coached field hockey, lacrosse, and soccer camps. I have my own car and a clean driving record, so I'm flexible for transportation needs.
A bit more about me: I'm a Biology and Global Health major at UW–Madison, involved in Alpha Xi Delta and club field hockey and lacrosse. I love the outdoors, arts and crafts (drawing, sewing, painting), and even have a graphic design certificate. I'm also a huge animal lover, so I'm completely comfortable with pets in the home too! I'm energetic, responsible, and creative, and I love connecting with kids in fun, safe, and enriching ways.
I can travel a few suburbs/towns away from Newton for work.

Hi, I'm Avery! I'm a current student at Arlington High School and am enrolled in the Early Childhood Education program, which gives important and valuable information about child development. I have 5+ years of childcare experience. I used to be a swim instructor and have CPR and lifesaver training for all ages and would be happy to give swim lessons for an increased fee. I currently have a driver's license but inconsistent access to a car so if children need to be picked up/dropped off I would need access to a vehicle. Looking forward to meeting you!

I have owned a dog since I was 10 years old, I volunteer at an animal shelter biweekly, and I have been dog-sitting neighbor's dogs since I was in high-school.
I am Maia, some personal things you should know about me is that I enjoy outdoor adventures, 80's and 90's rock, I love to read. I love, love, love to craft and I have a very imaginative mind.

I worked at the New Art Center in Newton and my main duties involved taking care of the children during recess, lunch, and in art classes. I also spent time volunteering as a Girl Scout from the ages of 10-15. A lot of our volunteer work was spent doing activities with children and leading them in group activities. I'm open to working late nights, putting the kids to bed, cleaning up after them, preparing meals, and more. I am also very experienced in pet care and have 5 pets of my own. Looking forward to working with you.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Dog Walker
Follow these handy tips for hiring a dog walker so you know your pup is in safe, reliable hands.
1. Check experience
Look for walkers who have worked with dogs of similar size, breed, and temperament.
2. Verify credentials
Ask about pet first aid/CPR certification and whether they’re insured and bonded.
3. Request references
Speak to past or current clients for honest feedback.
4. Meet in person
Arrange a meet-and-greet to see how your dog responds to them.
5. Discuss routines
Ensure they can stick to your dog’s feeding, walking, and medication schedule.
6. Ask about group walks
Clarify whether they walk multiple dogs at once or provide solo walks.
7. Check reliability
Confirm their backup plan in case they’re sick or unavailable.
8. Look for communication
Choose someone who provides updates, photos, or reports after walks.
9. Test with a trial walk
Start with a short session to assess how your dog and the walker get along.

Go over payment, cancellations, keys/access to your home, and emergency procedures.
