“Deborah was lovely on an initial visit with my shy cat - she spoke warmly to our Ash, but didn't try to force contact, and let our shy girl wander off. Given Deborah's background and familiarity with shy cats, I feel very comfortable leaving our girl in her hands while we're out of town. I feel confident that Ash will warm up to her as Deborah visits, and feel comfortable that Deborah will be patient and present for our kitty in whatever form she needs.”

About: I have 2 cats and 3 dogs myself, and will treat yours like one of my own. I have experience living with every breed of dog from husky, to pitbull, to cockapoo, to chocolate lab, and currently have a German Sheppard as well as 2 Mini Australian Sheppards. I work from home as an engineer, and my work hours are pretty flexible as a result of that. Im conveniently located on Rt 7a! My typical day ends around 3:30 so I have plenty of time in the evening for your pup! Watch it as my own dog & burn some of that energy! I have experience with e-collars and walking dogs on a leash. Some days I will be accompanied by my dogs to help keep your dogs company - with your permission.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals my entire life. Ever since I can remember my mother has been fostering dogs and I’ve always been right there to help her. I’ve owned dogs such as Bull Mastiffs all the way to Chihuahuas so size is no issue for me. Every dog me or my family have owned were taught all their tricks by me including sit, stay, speak, spin, leave it, quiet, lay, take it, etc. I am currently working a seasonal part time job Monday through Friday from 2:30-5:30, so I have plenty of time to check up on and play with your pup. I can crate your dog if needed. I usually feed my dogs 3 times a day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I can send pupdates for you and provide FaceTime calls if warranted for your furbaby.
“Candice was amazing. Very sweet, thorough and communicative. My cat was very spoiled while we were away and it made me have such peace of mind that he wouldn’t be lonely on our longest trip away. Would definitely book Candice again.”

“Stephanie was fantastic! My two cats, one of which is not very sociable, especially to new people, loved her. I don't know how she did it but when I got home after two weeks of being gone, my standoffish cat has been purring and very affectionate! Stephanie routinely sent me updates and pictures. On top of being great with my animals she was willing to do whatever was needed, even watering my array of plants. I came home to happy cats, a clean house and everything in fine order. I will definitely have Stephanie help me out again and highly recommend her.”
“Ella was great with our boys, one has a lot of medications and she did a great job making sure he got all his pills each day, the cats and apartment were both in perfect condition when we got home and I couldn't be happier!”

“Ariel was great! I’ve never seen my cat be nice to another person ever. Ariel had her coming out for pets and purring. My cat seems very happy that she got some extra attention while I was away.”

About: Common courtesy and communication is paramount. **Willing to travel up to an hour away. Just because Rover says you are outside my service area it does not always mean you are. I have clients an hour North and South of me. **Necessary update as of 6/21/23** I will require current credit card info be on file at your vet or provided for me in your pet write up ONLY in case of emergency. In the event of an emergency and I could not get a hold of the human, puppies have no pockets to hold a card, the vet required me to pay. I have raised 3 separate RESCUE Rottweilers to be exceptional ambassadors of their breed. I currently do not have any pets since my big boy passed away in 2016. I hope to again one day have my own dogs. Until then I will love YOUR pet. **I DO NOT board animals at my home. Only repeat clients would MAYBE be possible for a very short amount of time.** Clients pets have included many breeds, species for days, weeks. Many Golden Retrievers, Doodles, mixes aka Heinz57s, Old English Sheep dog, lots of kitties, a chameleon, turtles, a bearded dragon, a small bird, fish, Rottweilers, a very challenging but lovable English Bulldog and Huskies one of which was very reactive. Oh and a LOT of house plants! PLEASE NOTE: I am deathly allergic to horses which I am very sad about. Any type of animal requiring LARGE amounts of hay would also be a problem i.e, goats, cows, alpacas I am sorry to say. Small rodent animals requiring hay for food or bedding has not been a big deal. My personnel dogs were very public dogs, parks, events etc. With the ever present fact in mind that as good as my animal was it is still an animal. Never purposely putting them in a situation to be loose (unless at home or a fenced park) or get into anything that could harm them. Read quite a few books/manuals by military working dog trainers in hopes of training a service oriented Rottie. Came very close to passing the Good Citizen certification but my dogs never liked the “stay” part when I had to walk away with my back turned. They just had to be next to me. So close. PLEASE NOTE: I have my preferences set to NOT to show any photos of YOUR pet publicly. I would ask permission first to share. Photos only NEVER infomation of course. My schedule allows me to be available to be in YOUR HOME, with your pets all day/night, unless noted ahead of time and of course trips to the store. I have many types of animals that insist on sleeping in bed just like they do when their people are home which in fine by me. Just take some Benadryl and snuggle on in. I try to stick closely to how the home runs normally so the pets do not have any surprises that can make them anxious. Sleep, food, walks, play time etc. I supervise dogs in their own yard fenced or not. I am very organized and like an outlined idea of their schedule to be written down for me to follow as closely as YOU would.

“Evelyn was a great sitter, very thorough with her questions at the meet up, cautious of dietary and medical requirements, very flexible and kept us very well informed the whole times and our house was immaculate when we got back! we'd hire them again in a heart beat.”

About: Hello folks, I am an experienced animal caretaker with a background in fostering pets. I have cared for dogs, cats, other domestic pets, and farm animals. My clients, friends and family have entrusted me to watch their animals since I was 12. I believe that direct communication with pet owners will allow me to provide a safe and engaging experience for your animals. I work part-time from 10 am - 2 pm throughout the week. My work days change frequently but I am available outside of these hours for your caretaking needs. I will not be providing services in my home at this time. For pet sitting and walking services, I am available to stay in your home or do daily check ins. My goal is to be an accessible source for your animal while you travel or are at work. I will be available 24/7 via email or text after you book my services. Please provide me with any medical, dietary, or enrichment needs for your animal when you book my services. I always adhere to my clients wishes and will do my best to stick with your pet’s daily routine while in my care. If you have a dog who is friendly, I can provide additional enrichment with my three year old pup Zeus.
About: Caring for animals is a genuine joy of mine! Growing up with a black lab, I have taken care of pets since I was a kid. Friends and family often trust me to look after their animals, because I’m dependable and enjoy spending time with them. I understand the importance of giving pets plenty of care and attention while also respecting their individual needs and personal space, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well-loved. I’m currently working part time with a flexible schedule, so there is plenty of time to care for your pets! I also love being active so I will happily get in as many walks as needed! In order to ensure your pet feels comfortable with me and with me in your home, I always request that we do a meet and greet prior to booking for the first time.
