About: I’ve had dogs in my home since I was 4 years old, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. Beyond my personal experience, I’ve also worked at multiple pet shelters in both New Jersey and Arizona, where I cared for animals of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a shy senior dog, I know how to create a calm, loving, and safe environment. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently home from Arizona State University and have a very open and flexible schedule. Whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight care, I’m available and ready to help. I can easily accommodate last-minute requests and am committed to giving your pet consistent attention and care throughout the day. I prioritize safety by following each pet’s routine and needs closely, whether in my home or yours. I keep a calm, clean, and secure environment and always communicate clearly with pet parents. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities, and I treat every home with respect and care.

About: Hello and welcome! My name is Chelsea and I have an extensive background in doggy daycare services and volunteer shelter support! My qualifications extend to fur babies of the dog and cat variety. You can count on my calm demeanor translating to animals with anxiety concerns & medication needs. I look forward to speaking with you regarding how I can fufill your caretaking needs! Please see calendar for updates. Afternoons and weekends are my main availability, but I do have some time off where my schedule is more open. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on creating a calm and familiar environment to keep them happy and stress-free. I maintain their regular feeding schedule, ensure fresh water is always available, and take care of any medication needs with careful attention. I love engaging pets with playtime, walks, and plenty of affection—always respecting each pet's unique personality and comfort level. I also keep their living space tidy, clean up litter boxes or backyard areas, and provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home until you return.

“Great sitter, very communicative and caring.”

About: I have several years of tending to dogs and cats, (as well as some birds) of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling potentially difficult dogs and cats, regardless of age and/or disabilities. I have also worked at Morris Animal Inn and currently work at a vet clinic while I prepare to go to vet school. I have a cat of my own, Forrest who I love very dearly. I can also administer medications orally, topically, and subcutaneously. I can monitor all bathroom trips for stool and urine output, give baths, clips nails, or clean out ears if needed. I also take the BEST pictures of pets and can give you updates whenever you’d like :) At the moment, I am currently working full time at a vet clinic, but most weekends I am off or get out early. Im currently available most Friday afternoons to Sundays nights as well as most Tuesdays. Im also flexible to work other days circumstantially. I have a formerly feral cat at home who is now an indoor-only cat that I adopted from my current job. I feed him twice daily as well as clean his litter box morning’s and evenings. He is up to date on all of his exams and shots, and is also on a hydrolyzed diet since he has some food allergies. Additionally I make sure to keep his nails short since he loves to make biscuits on my face :)

“Laura was absolutely great!! She took the effort to meet me a few times prior, so we could practice and learn how to do my cat's inhaler therapy and she was able to consistently do it for him this time! Very very pleased with the outcome!”

“It felt great to arrive home and see that our dog — with help from Thomas — had played with every tug-of-war toy in the house. Thomas was thorough, consistent, responsive, and friendly.”

“Victoria was so helpful and amazing with my teenage kitty. She sent so many fun pictures and it was clear that Cleo enjoyed having her around. Definitely snagging her for any time I go out of town! Thank you Victoria!!!”

About: I have been around dogs all of my life and have experience with dogs of many different breeds and age ranges. Coming from previous experience at a dog boarding facility, I am trained in feeding, handling, and medicating dogs and have worked with dogs of various levels of aggression. I am currently unemployed, so I can be on-call 24 hours for the days that I am available. I have my own dog that I take care of, but I can usually fit your pet into my routine! I currently cannot board dogs since my apartment is not big enough to house more than one dog. When caring for dogs, I make sure to give them the attention and space they require. Please instruct me or provide me with details on how you want your dog to be cared for (and also if your dog has any allergies, I love to give treats!!!)

About: My blend of experience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. Ensuring pets of all ages receive the care they need. I offer flexible routines to accommodate your pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel secure and loved while you’re away. My approach is hands-on, compassionate, and tailored to each pet, making sure they’re happy, healthy, and stress-free. Whether it’s an early morning walk or late-night snuggles, pet care fits smoothly into my day—because, for me, it’s more than just a job—it’s a passion! My top priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for each pet, tailored to their specific needs. I respect your pet’s territory and try to keep their routine as normal as possible, including feeding, walks, and any special activities they enjoy. I follow specific instructions for any medications, dietary needs, or behavioral concerns. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you know your pet is in good hands. If your pet feels anxious being left behind, I make sure to spend plenty of one-on-one time with them to offer reassurance, whether that means extra snuggles or quiet time together.

About: I cared for my dog for 13 years. I adore all animals, love walking and playing with them, and treat every pet like they're family. I’m a grad student who just wrapped up my summer internship and would love to spend my extra time caring for and bonding with your beloved pets! I'm currently offering drop-in visits and dog walking.

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a gentler touch. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, calm demeanor, and genuine love for animals. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs—whether that’s administering medication, sticking to a strict schedule, or just giving them extra belly rubs. You can count on me to treat your pet like family and keep you updated every step of the way. I work remotely during the week and am completely free on weekends so I am able to dog sit, walk, or care for your pet anytime during the weekend. I have had family dogs every since I was a baby. I currently have 2 dogs that my family rescued from local shelters, one during COVID, and one in October of 2024. Since I work remotely, I have been training, walking, feeding, and dog sitting both of my dogs while the rest of my family works during the day.
