About: I have taken care of many pets from birds to turtles to dogs. I will give the utmost care to your best friend making sure all of their needs are met making sure they have the best time. I am fully dedicated to your pets car ready to take long nature walks, having fun adventures outside or calm days in with lots of playing depending on your pets wants and needs. For my own pet I give the utmost care and with that I can understand the need for your own loved ones to have the best care. I will send updates of your loved ones day with pictures and videos if requested. Your loved ones will be given only the best.

About: I've been around animals my entire life. I had 2 dogs and a cockatiel growing up that I helped care for. After I became older I have owned dogs, rats, fish, rabbits, chickens and ducks. I also foster small animals for a local rescue and have found fantastic homes for over 50 small animals. I work a few hours a day from home so I have plenty of time to interact and take care of your pets & fur babies. I'm available most days and nights. I am self-employed and work from home so I can take care of your pets needs at any time of the day since my schedule is flexible. I personally have 2 dogs, a rabbit, chickens and ducks at my home so there are plenty of things to help keep your pets occupied and happy. I also foster small animals for a rescue I help out with. My yard is unfenced, but I live on a quiet street and have an open area across from my home to play fetch or throw a frisbee with your dogs and mine. In regards to caring for pets in your own home I follow any directions you give me for food/treat schedules, how often they need to go outside, things your pets can and cannot do, etc.

“Abigail is excellent, patient and caring with our anxious rescue dogs. It takes a lot to build trust with our skittish cattle dog, and Abigail won her over in a very short time! (Most people can't get the leash on her at all, and Abigail was gentle enough to get it in the first visit.) The walks were very thorough and the dogs got tons of exercise while we were away. We looked forward to the great photos and videos every visit. We are grateful for Abigail! ; )”


About: I attended Animal Science BOCES program for 2 years, graduating with my diploma. I am experienced with critters of all kinds from snakes to rabbits! I am comfortable with all sizes, shapes. I have a wide range of time where I am available for morning, afternoon and night walks/meetings. I only work part time so I generally have more time compared to full time workers. I am always very gentle, inviting with all animals. I typically let the pet come to me first, getting my scent and then proceed to give them lots of love.

About: I’ve owned everything from dogs and cats to more exotic species such as ferrets and reptiles for 10 years. I’m studying to become a licensed veterinary technician, and am comfortable with more ‘behaviorally challenged’ animals or those that need more specific care. I like to be busy, so while I am not working at my job at a Veterinary Clinic, I’d love to be engaging with pets and pet parents. I pay attention to my surroundings and am not afraid to ask questions about what is or is not okay for the animal - ex. if they are allowed to go into a certain room, have a certain treat, etc.

“Meagan is so kind, patient, and thorough. She goes above and beyond and is a great communicator. I'm very grateful to have her looking after my boy while I'm at work.”


About: I quickly became a dog mom when my partner moved into my house with his 5 year old dog Sampson. I fell in love with our daily walks in the field behind our house, as well as having something to take care of in the house. Sampson listens, he is a dog I can walk off leash and the best cuddle buddy. Because of his good nature I soon found myself growing our family by the addition of two puppies. Hank was our first pup - he is a Great pyreenes mixed with a Bernese Mountain Dog. Think fluffy, slobbery, and 140 pounds. I wasn't sure how a big dog and myself would get along but I found his size comforting. Stella was a dog we failed at fostering. She is a smaller terrier mix and is teaching me the true purpose of crates and leashes. I learn every day how to be better for my dogs. It is chaotic, messy and unpredictable living with three dogs but I wouldn't change it for anything. I am by no means a perfect dog owner but I understand the complexities and uniqueness of each dog and their personalities. I rely on being consistent and predictable for my dogs so they continue to trust me to take care of them. Their health and happiness is my priority. I am a school teacher. When school is in session I am free after 5pm. When we are on break for holidays or summer, I am free anytime. At my house, I don't have a fenced in yard but we have over 20 acres to walk. I am comfortable walking dogs on a leash. I have a crate for a medium to small sized dog and an outdoor "doggio" for warmer days or if a furry friend wants some time outdoors relaxing. I have three dogs, one of which is a very large and enjoys rough housing with other dogs. We have lots of toys and a house that that continues to become dog proof. We let our dogs on the couches and they have a large living room to play in.

About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life, of all ages, and my family and friends pets as well, I’ve learned how to care for all types of animals from a young age and grown to gain more responsibilities for them as I’ve grown older. When I am home I will make sure my pets are well loved and cared for and comfortable as can be, I make sure they know they are loved, keep their bathroom area clean wherever it is they may go, food and water filled when needed and adjusting the water temperature for dogs based on the season In my own home I am sure to know where my pets are at all times, unless they are having play time, even then I try my best to know where they are inside the house, I make sure their water and food is clean from anything and everything, I make sure to monitor any animals bathroom needs to know when to care for them in that way.

5. Shauna B.

“Shauna is a fantastic pet caregiver. When she's not running her in home business she is fostering rats, caring for her own chickens, ducks and rabbit, or training her dogs. Shauna is exceptionally patient and kind with all animals she meets regardless of type or temperment. She has cared for not only my own cats, dogs and rats but kept an eye on my kiddo too. I'll be adopting a rat from her soon!”

12. Sari H.
“Sari has been helping us with the care of our dog for just over one year now. In addition to occasionally walking our pup and getting her to her grooming appointments on time, Sari does a phenomenal job boarding our dog. We feel comfortable going out of town knowing that Sari will take good care of our little girl! Sari is great with communication and updates us on how our pup is doing while we are away, and even sends the occasional photo! She pays careful attention to our dog's diet and gives her lots of love and attention. Our dog loves Sari so much that we have a hard time getting her to come back home with us after her walks or appointments!”
