About: I’ve had different breeds of dogs in our home for years, I love to go for walks and have experience with leash training- i have availability to give your pets a break if you need someone local to pop by! I currently work part time & from home, so i have a lot of flexibility to pop out for walks and breaks. I can also be handy in a last minute situation. I have experience with many types and breeds, currently I have a 150 lb bullmastiff boy so size is not an issue here! I adore them big and small.

About: I've always believed life is better with fur on your clothes and after years of caring for my own pets, I turned that passion into something bigger. Now I get to spend my days doing what I love most: caring for your four-legged family members while you're away. I make sure your pet gets the attention, love, and care they deserve. As a lifelong pet parent myself, I get how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family. That's why I treat every cat and dog like one of my own with patience, playfulness, and lots of love. So whether your dog needs a walking buddy or your cat needs someone to chat with while you're out, I'm here to help with a leash in one hand and a lint roller in the other. Fully insured. I am devoting all of my time to dog walking and pet sitting, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pet. I am happy to come to your home to care for your pet for either dog walking or pet sitting. I will care for your pet as if it were my own!

“Jennifer came for a meet and greet with our two dogs. She was friendly and kind - sat right on the floor with them to play and make them feel comfortable. She is very knowledgeable, having experience with many types of pets, including those with special needs. We are looking forward to booking some drop in visits!”


“Molly was amazing, again! She's always prompt, responsive, and kind, but best of all, our dogs also love her! She is the best and we trust her fully with our fur babies time and time again. Thank you!”


“Thank you for giving us peace of mind to enjoy our time away knowing the pups were in great hands. I appreciate the thorough information ant each visit and prompt timing and responses to messages.”


About: Hi, my wife Ali and I have been boarding and walking dogs for years. We have 3 small dogs and 1 parrot of our own. We live in a large apartment that is very dog friendly and with a very nice brand new dog park in our complex. My wife is always home as she works from home and I work overnight so your pet will never be alone. We love to care for all dogs or other animals! We have 2 young children so your dog must be good around kids as well. If you have any questions please message me. Unfortunately at the time we are not excepting any large breeds (dogs that stand really tall on 4 legs) unless they are a small puppy and are 35lbs or less. We are am extremely flexible with pet schedules, as of right now we bring our own dogs out every 3-4 hours for potty breaks and playtime outdoors. I visit our dog park a minimum of 3x a day. We seem to be the only ones who really utilize it. We use the Fenced in dog park in our complex for free unleashed play and the dogs really love it and it has fun dog equipment and fresh dog water bubbler.


“This was our first time hiring Jill and she did an awesome job coming to our home to check in on our three pups. We only needed afternoon visits and she did a great job spending time with them outside and making sure their water bowl was full. She left our house locked up and alarm set with no problems. Because Jill was so reliable and professional we hired her for the remaining 2 weeks that we needed the extra help. I not only recommend her but will hire her in the future!”


About: I have 5 acres of wooded land that we made a trail in just for our dogs. The last of who has just passed. Would love to see paw prints in the trail again. I am a stay at home mom. With my youngest now in high school. So besides the occasional appointment and nature walk. I am usually home all week. As far as walking. I love walking all the dog friendly trails. Even if it’s to see other dogs. We are a dog friendly home with gates on our deck so that pups can enjoy the outdoors even more.

“Cheryl took amazing care of our two cats while we were away for a week! She provided great updates for us, took care of all their food, water and litter needs. She stayed the entire half hour of the visit even though our cats are very skittish and hid from her most of her time with them. By the end they were happy to come out and play with her and get some pets. Cheryl is very kind and sweet and took care of our cats better than we could’ve hoped for! Will definitely be booking with her next time we’re out of town!”


About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve been raised with dogs my entire life, and I also have three years of hands-on experience at a doggie boarding and daycare facility. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all types, from reactive dogs to high-energy pups. I understand the importance of positive reinforcement and am experienced in meeting the dietary and exercise needs of dogs. What Sets Me Apart: What truly sets me apart is my genuine compassion for animals. I offer a personalized experience, whether it’s hiking to burn off energy, providing calm and comfort for reactive dogs, or ensuring senior pups get the special care they need. My expertise in stimulating high-energy dogs and my knowledge of their specific needs makes me the perfect choice for your dog’s next adventure or stay! Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I make sure to schedule time for walks, play sessions, and one-on-one attention for each animal I care for. Whether it’s getting up early to take a dog on a hike or spending extra time with a shy cat to build trust, I always prioritize their needs. I’m flexible and able to adapt to different schedules, ensuring pets get the love and care they deserve, no matter what else is going on in my day. In my home, I create a comfortable, pet-friendly environment where animals can thrive. For dogs, that means daily hikes, interactive play sessions, and plenty of cuddle time. I make sure each dog gets the exercise and attention they need to feel happy and secure. For cats, I adjust the atmosphere to their personality—whether it’s quiet, cozy space for a shy cat or active playtime to keep a kitten entertained. I’m also experienced with dietary needs, allergies, and administering medications if necessary. When caring for pets in your home, I treat it as an extension of my own. I make sure their routines are kept intact, from feeding schedules to favorite activities. I believe in providing consistent care that allows them to feel safe and comfortable, just as they would in their own home. Whether it’s a dog who loves to hike or a cat who needs extra TLC, I’m committed to offering personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m also skilled at handling reactive animals, training, and ensuring each pet’s emotional well-being is prioritized. My years of experience with both kittens and senior cats, combined with my ability to train and manage high-energy dogs, makes me stand out. I’m not just a pet sitter—I’m a pet caretaker who goes above and beyond to ensure your pets are happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.

About: I’m a college student currently studying Veterinary Technology, where I’m gaining hands-on experience in animal care in a clinical setting. I’m also a graduate of Norfolk County Agricultural High School, where I majored in Animal Science. Over four years, I studied animal behavior, husbandry, and species-specific care. Through my education and training, I’ve developed strong skills in safe animal handling, proper care routines for various species, and administering medications, including both oral and injectable treatments. I’m passionate about providing high-quality, compassionate care—especially for pets with special or medical needs. I’m currently a community college student, taking a mix of online and in-person classes. I also work as a substitute teacher for a local school district, with flexible, self-selected workdays. Because my weekday schedule can vary, pet sitting availability may shift during the week—but I generally have more flexibility on weekends. I'm happy to work pet care into my schedule whenever possible and will do my best to accommodate your needs. I’m experienced in following customized care plans and detailed instructions to ensure each pet receives consistent, individualized care. I’m confident in managing special routines, medications, or other specific needs as directed. Additionally, I follow clear instructions for home entry and take great care to ensure your home remains safe, secure, and respected throughout the pet care services.

She has 5 acres of land that her and her husband intentionally created a trail for her animals to run/walk around to burn off some energy.
