“Incredible sitter, Mark really took the time to get to know each of our babies andtend to them individually. He swung by and added an extra visit for them in his spare time, and even walked them over 4 miles out of the kindness of his heart. I highly recommend this man if you're looking for someone who will care for your each of your animals on one , someone who will truly care for them, and is flexible, then look no further. Mark thank you brother, I truly appreciate you.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 18. I taught my dog play dead. I also taught my mom’s dog to have great recall. I love dogs and am very passionate about them. I am currently working almost full time but I am available 2 days for sure free. I will also come before and after work to make sure that the pets are ok! I will make sure anything that could be poisonous will be out of reach. I will also check that the animals are acting like their normal selves.

“Love Emerald and so did Harry. She was prompt with times agreed upon. Made time to visit and meet Harry prior to our trip. Left detailed follow ups and photos that allowed us to enjoy our time away.”

“Kelly did a great job looking after Chloe, our much beloved cat. She was on-time for her orientation, was personable, and attentive. She did a responsible, conscientious and thorough job in feeding and attending to Chloe. We definitely want to have her watch Chloe again in the future.”

“I have been so unbelievably impressed with Grace!! My sweet Mila loves her and looks forward to her coming every day! Grace always goes out of her way to send me multiple photos and gives me a report card on my dog every day!! My dog is my child so it is hard for me to trust people with her but as soon as I met Grace I knew she was going to be amazing!! Thank you so much for treating my Mila like your own!!!”

“Brittani took such wonderful care of my dog Baloo while I was away this week! From the start, she was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. She made sure Baloo got plenty of exercise, love, and attention—and I could tell from the many photos and detailed updates that he was totally relaxed and happy in her care. Coming home to a content and well-cared-for pup says everything. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can fully trust with Baloo. Thank you, Brittani!”

Bella M.

“Emma did a great job with our 5 year-old lab mix! She came over before the appointment to meet her and ask questions, and did a wonderful job preparing herself for the visit. I felt at ease knowing Emma would watch our Nova and she did not disappoint. Our precious dog sitter moved out of town so I am so thankful to have found another one to trust with our doggo! We will definitely be rebooking Emma!!”

Dana S.

“Great drop-in visit! Lacey looked super happy in the pics. Really appreciate the update— will totally book again!”

Holly C.

“Shelby did a wonderful job checking on my pup Lulu! She was on time, professional and gave a great report card for her, with a few pictures to boot. I will definitely be using her services again.”

About: My experience in pet care is extensive. From helping raise and train my own family dogs as child, to working at different animal facilities, I have experience in many different/difficult situations I may face. While I lived in New York I worked at a high end Doggy Daycare and boarding facility that prided itself in creating a certified "fear free" environment for dogs. In a daycare setting I handled and monitored up to 25 dogs in a safe and ethical way. I learned how to read different dog body language cues and how to handle small to XL size dogs. I took a lot of pride in the environment I created for my playgroups so dogs could enjoy safe, fun interactions with each other. I also worked as a kennel technician at the same facility. I did potty breaks for up to 50 dogs, cleaned kennels to propers standards and provided enrichment and feeding for all of our guests. I have experience in how to handle aggressive or stand offish dogs in a safe and manageable way. I also learned a lot about animal health and helped provide care for special needs guests who may have disabilities due to age or that were on seizure watch. Any issues or concerns I had health wise were immediately brought to my supervisors so it could be brought to the owners attention. I worked at Resorts Boarding and Play in two different times for about a year and a half total. After my time at this facility I worked at the SPCA Serving Erie County as an animal caretaker. It was here I gained more exposure to different temperaments in dogs and cats and how to work with them while also cleaning their kennels so they had a clean safe space to enjoy. I enjoyed helping all these pets in desperate need and watching them come out of their shells and experience joy more and more. It was one of the most rewarding parts of that job! When I moved to North Carolina I spent a few months working at 7 Lakes Kennels as a kennel technician again. I cleaned kennels and helped pair dogs for daycare play. I handled medicine distribution to dogs who needed it, cleaned potty yards and of course, played with many dogs! I again had previous experience in handling some tougher dogs so I was comfortable in helping others with some guests who had behavioral challenges. I also did feedings for the guests under my care for the day and took everyone out for potty walks at allotted times. Although I have only professionally been in the pet care industry for about 3 years I consider most of my life as experience from also doing all pet care for my animals growing up, including pushing pills for my childhood cat who had issues with kidney function. I fed all my childhood pets morning and night. I handled supplements for my goldendoodle who had hip and joint issues later in life. I have tons of techniques to help dogs take medicine in an enticing manner. I also made sure my dogs received 20-30 minutes of intense exercise a day to meet their large dog requirements as goldendoodles. They preferred playing ball but also enjoyed added on walks. I am sincerely passionate about providing top-notch care to pets and have shown that to many previous employers who always enjoyed my attention to detail and efforts to work with the animals regardless of any behavior issues or health concerns they faced. I am stay at home as of now so I have plenty of free time on my hands. I prefer to be at home rather than out so the only time I gone really is to run errands or be at the gym. I enjoy an active lifestyle so I do walk my dogs a bit or allow them to run around outside and play with them. I have a set feeding schedule for them. Breakfast is 8 am and dinner is 5 pm. I have done both of my dogs basic obedience myself as I'm looking to advance in the dog training field. I hope to start schooling soon to get my certifications. I have used different techniques for both of my dogs as they have different temperaments. I strive to understand my dogs thoroughly and work with them rather than force them into overwhelming situations. We always start small and build from there once they show they understand a concept or become more comfortable in a new environment. Both of my dogs are crate trained. I love them very much but I finds crates are a very helpful tool to help teach self control and give them a space they can call their own. I am happy to follow any instructions you may have for me through a text message or written out on paper. If you have any concerns I am happy to communicate with you while you are away! At one boarding facility we would send out pictures every three days of a fun activity we did with the dogs to help ease owners minds. I am more than willing to do something like that for you everyday! I totally understand the worry of being away from your best friends! I do ask if your dog boards with me that they come with their crate/kennel. I find it a bit easier for a dog to decompress in a new environment if they have something that is familiar for them. Blankets that smell like you are a plus. I am more than willing to clean toys and bedding before you come to pick up your buddy again. If you want feeding done at certain times I'm happy to do that as I have a free schedule just taking care of my home. Walks, playtime and interacting with dogs are must to keep spirits up while you are away so I am happy to provide these services as well! Of course attention and love is given regardless to any pet I am watching! I am comfortable adminstering medication according to labels or any supplements/treats you provide your pets! I ALWAYS listen to and watch dogs for body language cues. I find that respecting dogs leads to a much better relationship between caretakers and friends. I have extensive training through "The Dog Gurus" my first employer provided all employees. This taught me different play styles for breeds, how to monitor health through potty habits and what to look for in concerning poop. I learned the warning signs of seizures and how to handle them as well as what to watch for if a dog may have a parasitic infection. I was also taught signs of stress and techniques to help prevent them through providing familiar scents, toys or approach. I am aware of and use certain skills in approaching nervous dogs-become smaller and less threatening by turning your back slightly and not holding direct eye contact. I always allow a dog to approach me by offering my hand from a distance and letting them decide if they want to interact or not. For dogs who were sensitive or reactive about touch around their neck while working I used a "double slip lead" technique so I wouldn't have to get into their personal space while putting a lead on them. It also made it safer to remove a lead by never having to physically touch the dog, rather gently pull one lead attached around the other and they would both safely slip off the dog. Understanding a dogs temperament and triggers is vital for me to work safely and effectively with any dog I encounter or interact with. Please always offer all information on your dog to me during a meet and greet session. I would rather have "too much" information on your dog than feel like I'm scrambling with questions later on while you are away. I enjoy working with all different types of dogs and love learning about their personalities and things they enjoy. I feel confident in my skill level and experience to provide safe, loving, enjoyable care for all your four legged family members.

“We continue to be amazed by Stephanie. She came to the rescue for an urgent drop-in visit and we can’t be grateful enough that the pups trust and adore her so completely that she can drop by with such ease. Thank you again, Stephanie!”

“Samantha did an amazing job with my three cats! They are very spoiled and needy and require a little of extra attention. She was very attentive and sent a lot of pictures so I was able to see her interactions with them. I could not be more pleased with the service she provided. My cats are my babies, and it felt great that I knew I could trust her completely!!”
