“You can tell McKenna is a big animal & dog lover. She was incredibly sweet & gentle during our meet & greet. She asked all the right questions and our pups felt instantly comfortable around her. We’re glad to establish a relationship with someone we can trust AND with someone who goes above & beyond during her visits. Thank you McKenna, we’ll be booking you again soon!”

About: I have had dogs growing up all my life. I am currently s bio (pre - vet) major with experience from internships in animal care. But its not just about the skills I’ve gathered, I have always genuinely cared about the animals around me! Whether they are pets, wild animals, etc. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to fit pet care into my schedule!! Other than Mondays and Wednesdays, my schedule is very flexible!! I have two friendly dogs. They are both elders so they need rest and cuddles more than anything. When they were younger and more active, we would play fetch and take walks around our neighborhood!

About: Hi y'all! I am an all around animal lover. My girls and I take any dogs that we are watching on walks with us every night, we have lots of fun. Pets are allowed on the furniture, unless you state explicitly state you don't want them to be. I prefer not to kennel overnight, but there are always exceptions to the rule! I am able to help with puppies and older pups alike; age is not an issue. Please ask any questions you may have for me, thank you so much we can’t wait to meet you! I am currently working part time but I am always available for nightly drop ins or for any early morning stops on my way in. I am always respectful of your safety protocols, gates are always double and triple checked, doors are always checked to be shut correctly. Food and water levels are consistently monitored. Instructions are always followed to the letter.

About: I spent 3 months last fall volunteering at a dog shelter (5 days a week, 4 hours a day), I’ve worked many dog and cat sitting jobs, and I’ve had my rescue dog Artie for 14 years. I have experience with puppies, senior and rescue dogs. I’m currently home until September and looking for some extra work! I have a full time summer job but am available for house-sitting the last week of August, as well as able to do local dog walks or drop-in visits most mornings. I can follow instructions to care for your pets in your home how you want me to. I’m more than happy to take them for walks, play with them, feed them (including any medications) and give them lots of love!

“Keri was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She was extremely communicative, obviously a dog lover, and so helpful. I will definitely use her again!”

About: I've trained two dogs that I got when they were puppies. I currently have 1 dog and many chickens. I've watched dogs and cats in the past. I've also had cats, hamsters, fish, a rabbit, birds, guinea hens and chickens. I currently work from home most days. When I don't, I'm not gone for long. I prefer to be home if I'm pet sitting and that changes from time to time. My yard is fenced and blocked off on two sides. There is a field behind the house that's usually grass that's usually too tall for domestic animals to go into.

I have a soft spot for older dogs, as well as experience caring for young litters of pups! I walk some of my clients’ dogs in their own backyard trails, and a few I transport to local parks for our walks. I love all of my clients dogs like they’re my own, and take special care to encourage their interests, and adapt our time together to fit their personality and needs!

About: My schedule is a bit fuller in the summer, but may be able to still help with your pet! Recently moved from NW CT to GB, looking for part time work and opportunities to meet your furry loved ones. I had a variety of pets growing up, with a lot of experience with special needs animals (blind, older, aggression, etc). I am very patient with timid or upset dogs and have leash-trained dogs in the past. I have past experience house-sitting, dog-walking, and grooming. Cats are unique individuals, I've thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them. I love all types and shapes of dogs, but have a soft spot for larger breeds. I think it is hilarious when dogs are excited to meet me, they do not know that I am always just as excited to see them! My schedule is pretty open at the moment, my current job has slow periods. I have been working in the outdoor education and recreation industry for about 4 years now. I like to stay active, I'm happy to possibly bring your pets on hikes with me. I have been housesitting for over 5 years now, generally staying with clients' pets. I am a clean, sober person who has respect for privacy.

“I always think that I have angels in my life. Andrew came this evening to help us with our border collie Gabo, while we were feeling sick. Andrew is a great and reliable support. Our furry baby loves him and greets him with much affection when he shows up! Thank you Andrew for showing up during a challenging time and for taking care of Gabo.”
