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 :)

“Ethan was great! Called ahead of time to make sure it was a good fit. When he got here, our dog took to him right away. He was communicative and shared pictures with us afterward. We felt a lot better on our trip knowing our dog was in good hands!”

“Brittany is absolutely amazing! She is officially part of our family! Peach and Charlie love her so much. Could not have asked for a better Fur baby sitter!!!”

“Lauren took great care of our cat and dog while we were away. She was very communicative and sent pictures showing our pets at ease. She made sure that our flight landed safely before leaving and we came home to a clean house. The next time we need to go away, we will definitely reach out to book her again.”

“We were in desperate need of someone we could trust to watch our anxious rescue pup, Piper, during our wedding weekend. Lana was extremely patient with both Piper, and my husband and I, even agreeing to meet us several times before the stay to get us all comfortable. She sent numerous pictures and updates, which calmed our nerves so we could fully enjoy our wedding. Thank you Lana for taking great care of Piper, we will definitely be contacting her again if we ever need someone to dog sit Piper in the future.”

“Ryan was prompt, courteous and took great care of our dog Duke while we visited family out of state for a weekend. Duke immediately loved him and we felt at ease leaving him in Ryan’s care. We highly recommend Ryan and are looking forward to booking him again in the future!”

Anna Z.

“Wonderful experience with Liam! He stayed with our dog for 4 days/3 nights. Sent lots of pictures and reached out when he had questions. When we returned home everything was perfect and our dog was happy and healthy. Will be using him again for our next trip!”

About: I grew up with dogs that were part of my family, which nurtured my love for animals. As I grew older, I took care of my friends' and family's pets, gaining valuable experience. I believe that pets are wonderful companions, and I am committed to caring for them with the attention they deserve. I understand the unique needs and affection that our furry friends require. I’m available to start pet care on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday afternoons at 2 pm , and I can accommodate daily care as needed. I lovingly ensure they are fed on schedule, provide plenty of playtime and exercise to keep their spirits high, maintain a clean and comfortable environment through grooming and litter box care, watch over their health with a gentle eye, and offer companionship to make them feel cherished and secure.

“Morgan: has our complete trust to care for our dog Maddy and cat Charley. She is a good communicator, is a person who cares for pets and treats them like her own. Morgan is poised and responsible and someone we are comfortable leaving in charge of our home. She has watched our pets periodically for several years and does the little things to make them comfortable when we are away. Our dog Maddy knows her name and gets excited when we tell her Morgan is coming by! Without hesitation we can recommend Morgan.”

“Maria was definitely a 5 star cat sitter! She kept me informed with text messages and photos. I very much appreciated how clean she left my house and she even washed her own sheets! I would definitely hire her again.”

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.

“Carla is a very conscientious, impeccable, neat and tidy dog and house sitter. We are very grateful to have found her! And Blueberry loves her.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals in all shapes and sizes! I’ve always loved taking care of my family and friends’ animals (despite feeling like I’m cheating on my Portuguese water dog at home). If you need a reliable caretaker, I’m always willing to help! I’m currently working part-time so I have lots of free time on my hands! Weekends are typically difficult for me with another job but I’m available any day during the week. Mondays and Wednesdays after 3pm work best for me and any times on Tuesdays Thursdays and early Fridays. I prefer taking care of pets at the clients home as I have pets of my own at my house. I love long walks and will be very accommodating to what the client prefers!

“Ryan was wonderful with both my dogs! He took great care of them, which made our family vacation completely stress-free. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

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.

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: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My expertise goes beyond simple walks.

What sets me apart is my deep passion for animals and my commitment to making every pet feel safe, happy, and at home—even when their owners are away. I take time to understand each dog’s unique personality, routine, and preferences, offering personalized care that fits their needs. Whether it's energetic playtime, calm cuddle sessions, or specialized care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a part-time aviation student and food service professional, I have developed excellent time management skills, allowing me to balance my passion for pet care alongside my studies and work commitments. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent and reliable care for pets, fitting walks, sitting, and boarding around my other responsibilities. This means your pets will always get the attention they need, even during my busiest days.

I keep an open line of communication with regular updates and photos, so owners always know how their pets are doing. I also prioritize trust by getting to know each pet before care begins, discussing their specific needs, routines, and any special concerns. Whether it’s ensuring doors and gates are securely closed, or knowing the signs of stress in animals, I go the extra mile to provide a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for every pet in my care.
