“Amanda is great! She is helping us with Blanche’s reactivity to other dogs and squirrels on walks. We have already seen improvement with Blanche when we walk her. Amanda is calm and kind with Blanche, we could not be happier! Thank you Amanda!”
About: We have experience of raising our 4 year old pitbull since a pup! She loves company and we work from home allowing us to provide all the care to any dogs in need! We work from home so our schedule is super flexible. Any specific routines or schedules that your dog needs just let us know and we’ll make do! Our dogs are allowed throughout the entire basement and first floor. We have an unfenced yard for them to play and also have an additional crate. This is a dog-friendly neighborhood with perfect paths to go on a walk.

About: I love dogs of all shapes and sizes! I had two labs growing up and another lab in my early twenties who I still grieve for today. I currently have no dogs of my own so I pour all my love into my friend’s dogs. The dog I had my twenties had behavioral issues and required patience and understanding in a short amount of time he went from being withdrawn and antisocial to a complete love bug! I’m unemployed but I take care of my disabled mom. Because of this I have a very flexible schedule. I have always loved dogs and miss having one of my own. I’m always excited to spend time with my friend’s dogs. I don’t plan on boarding any dogs at my own home. With how my mom’s health is now it wouldn’t be a good idea to do so.
“Christine was great! I met her ahead of time and instantly liked her. My dog did too. Everything ran smoothly and I loved getting the photos she sent. I’ll surely use her again.”

“We have used Kati in the past - our dlogs love her!!!! She does a great job with them and I highly recommend her. Our dogs aren't "easy" and she won them over immediately. Thanks Kati!!!!”

About: As a dedicated pet sitter with years of hands-on experience, I offer a unique combination of reliability, compassion, and personalized care. I've been the proud owner of a Shih Tzu Bichon since 2018 and have cared for two cats since 2015, so I understand the unique needs of both dogs and cats. Whether it’s managing special diet or maintaining a familiar routine to ensure your pets feel safe and loved, I treat each pet as if they were my own. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and genuine love for animals. I take the time to understand each pet's personality and preferences, ensuring a stress-free experience while you're away. Your pets' well-being is my priority, and I strive to provide the highest level of care, whether it's cuddling during quiet moments, engaging in playtime, or taking them for walks. With me, your pets are in trusted, loving hands. I have mostly online classes this semester and I only have to be in person for about an hour on Tuesday and Thursday at 10:30, so the rest of my days can consist of all type of pet loving Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for your pets. In your home, I respect your pet's territory and routines, and I follow any specific instructions you provide to ensure they remain comfortable and secure. I’ll make sure to lock all doors and windows, monitor your pet closely during walks or playtime, and take extra care when administering medications or handling special needs. Communication is key, and I’ll send updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy in my care. Above all, I build trust with both pets and owners, ensuring peace of mind while you're away.
About: I'm a lifelong pet owner with experience and patience loving all sorts of pets, from a little kid I've always loved and cared for many types of pets, from the smallest to the largest, let me make your pet nice and secure at home. As I'm recently retired, I have the time and patience to meet your pet care needs, I'm a very stable and mature adult who adores pets. My care is personalized to each individual furry member of your family, offering them the same level of care and love that you yourself would provide.
About: I started volunteering at my local animal shelter back in 2008 through around 2013. I always loved seeing all the animals find their forever homes! I became a cat mom of 2 in 2011. Scratch and Ziggy! They have both since passed over the rainbow bridge.. Two totally different personalities. But they both brought so much joy into my life and will forever miss them!! Skip to 2018 when we adopted a dog from the very animal shelter I used to volunteer at back in the day. His name is Puppy! :) I never thought I could connect with a dog so much in my life. He is now 7 years old and is the king of our household! And he sure knows it too!! I also worked at dog daycare for a short time in western NY before moving out of state in 2024. It truly was the best job! Seeing just how different every pup is from one another. Being able to play and cuddle for a job was the best experience! I have availability during the day between 8am-5pm Monday-Friday! If you need me for anytime after that just let me know and we can figure something out! Meet and greets with myself and your fur babe are ALWAYS necessary. Not all animals will get along with every human they meet. At the end of the day, your pet’s trust, security and happiness are what is most important.

“Had the opportunity to have Jaime watch my dog overnight after using Jaime as a walker. I can tell you we couldn't be more pleased after having Ernie spend 3 nights at Jaime's house.”

About: I have volunteered at animal shelters for years and fostered cats with medical needs. I love all animals and believe they deserve the best care! I am currently working part time and have lots of availability during the week and on weekends. I also may be available on Monday and Wednesday evenings if known ahead of time. I can adapt to however you prefer to care for your pets! I currently have a cat who is very friendly towards other animals as well.
