“We are so grateful for Wendy coming to feed and spend a time each day twice a day with our senior cat. I know he’s extra in terms of care and I appreciate Wendy being willing to take him on. We were able to enjoy a week away with family for a wedding.”
“My kitties are usually very anxious, but Melissa took such good care of them that they didn't have a single "accident," they're happy, full, and most importantly, they are social and comfortable around her. I will be asking Melissa to visit them in the future, if her schedule allows. Thia is one of the most stress-free out of state trips I had, all thanks to her.”
“Christina was absolutely wonderful. Always timely, and very communicative. She was the sweetest to our little fur baby and we couldn’t be more grateful for her. Will most definitely hire again.”
“I booked Kara last minute, and she was so gracious about it. She even made the time for a meet and greet! I was comfortable with her experience and energy while interacting with our dog and bunny, and she took excellent care of them for us while we were away!”
About: As an animal lover looking for a little extra work, this seems like the perfect fit! I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner for 15 years. Including small pets, cats and dogs. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes and am available most evenings as well as all day Sunday and most Mondays. Ideally I would love to find some folks who I can set up weekly walk times with, or ongoing animal care but am available to anyone who needs an extra hand to get their fur baby taken care of! Availability: Sunday: 6am-8pm Monday: 6am-8pm Tues-Fri: 5pm-8pm I am available in the hours that I do not work my full time job. Available by request prior to 6am. I do not bring pets to my home at any time and ideally will have full conversation with the pet owner to learn about their pets individual personality, needs, and what makes their pet feel safe. I understand that everyone has different living experiences and all pets have different needs. I also understand that owners have their own preferences for their pets which I shall follow.
About: I am an animal lover who specializes in enrichment walks and play. All ages, 1 on 1 care. I am just like you! I have owned pets my whole life, I know how much they mean to our families and your boundaries and their health matter most to me. Happiness is everyone cared for and safe. I have a completely flexible schedule and I’ll be solely focused on Rover this summer and growing this business. I love to be outdoors and am an organized individual. My pet passed in February due to old age and so we have a full setup just waiting to accommodate a pup in need of a stay. We have animal beds, toys, A yard (not fenced in) with a chain run and lots of neighborhood to walk in! We also have a disabled person in the home with so much love to give to animals with a need for more affection and who can ensure someone is with your furry friend if we need to run an errand. We love a dog park or beach run if that’s what your pup is into, and our car is well equipped with baggies and h2o bowls to make sure any trip is safe and fun.
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I grew up in Alaska raising ducks, chickens, rabbits…even a ferret! I’ve always had dogs and a cats. I currently live with a senior pup and a young cat. We have several backyard chickens too! I worked as a professional dog walker/pet sitter for a number of years in Connecticut. I’m used to being outside rain or shine. I also know the importance of being able to adapt to each pets’ individual needs including special diets or medication. I work from home with a lot of flexibility so with proper planning and coordination I can be there to meet you and your furry friends’ needs. I have a fenced yard and a dog who doesn’t mind the company of other well socialized animals. We do have a cat and small child so please consider that before booking. If staying at your home, I will treat it just as my own with respect and consideration for you and your family and your privacy.
“Joanna was fantastic! She watched my cat while I was out of town and I came home to a very happy cat! Joanna sent updates regularly and was very professional. I'd definitely recommend making a booking with Joanna.”
“The last time we had Katelyn take care of our boy it was planned well in advance but we had a last-minute need and she said yes! He got a nice walk & was a happy pup when we got home. Huge relief 🙂”
About: I've had dogs my whole life, I've been a cat owner for a decade, also experienced with small pets like hermit crabs, rabbits, and fish I have a very open schedule, so flexibility is not an issue. I prefer scheduling within normal business hours, but can adjust that as needed I approach new animals (and homes) with respect first, boundaries are important! I lead with openness and patience, and take my cues from the animals
About: I've had animals my whole life. I have house sat my friends and family's pets for years while they go on vacation. In my spare time I work with the animals at the Animal Refuge League both dogs and cats. They have provided different types of training for both cat and canine care. I work from home so I am able to house sit and still continue working. This allows me to be with youe pets as often as possible during your time away. I do not care for pets in my home since I have a cat and a dog myself. (They get watched by my roommate while I'm away)
About: Since I was 16, I’ve been taking care of pets owned by family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors. I am reliable, passionate, and loving to all animals! For the summer, I am mainly working during the day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, but I am typically available after 4pm. Otherwise, I can spend full time with your pet! I can easily follow instructions for however your pet needs to be taken care of in your home - feeding, walking, crating, etc. are no problem.
“Sonia did a great job! Our cat was well taken care of (drop-in visits for 3 days when we were gone) and we got pictures and updates everyday! Sonia and Peter are communicative and flexible and a pleasure to work with!”
About: I was raised with dogs, rodents, and cats and love every variety. I am particularly comfortable with large dog breeds, since I was raised with GSDs. I socializing with pets at home or taking them on walks. I work full time (M-F) and take night classes. I currently do not have any pets since my schedule is too variable to care for them full time. I have a lot of flexibility to stop by and check in on pets (feed/play with/walk) around 7am and after 5pm. I also have weekend availability. My schedule would be best for short term pet care. I cannot bring pets into my home. When visiting in your home, I take extra care when letting myself in/out to avoid any pets running out the door. I will also make sure to keep pets on leashes when bringing them outside, until there is a safe, enclosed area with a tall fence.
“Faith was absolutely wonderful to work with. She communicated well, was friendly and did a fantastic job. I highly recommend her for anyone's pet needs! Thank you again!”
