“Deborah was 100% reliable, punctual, sent feedback with photos every time, and went out of her way to help us. I would use her again and again. I highly recommend Deborah to everyone.”
“Mary was amazing! We contacted her to help watch our dogs while going to a family wedding. She came over the week before and met us and the dogs and just clicked immediately. We have the nicest German shepherds in the world but you never know if a new person meeting them will be nervous or not. She immediately seemed to read them and just loved on them right away, which made us feel like she was the right person for the job. She sent great pictures and detailed notes on her check ins with the dogs. We absolutely will be reaching out to her for help in the future!”

About: Hi, I would love to care for your dog! I have over 15 years of professional dog training experience, both in the DC area and on Long Island. During those years, I did extensive dog sitting. My approach is always loving, and caters to the personality and needs of your particular dog. I am just getting back into the business of pet sitting. I was a caregiver for my mom for a long time and did not the time. I do have a cat, but she prefers dogs to other cats! I am currently retired from a career in journalism and social work. I am a musician and a songwriter, which I do from my home mostly. I am able to take frequent breaks. I can provide a good neighborhood for dog walking, I know how to crate train. I do have a cat who is friendly with dogs. I can help identify and solve behavioral problems. I will undoubtedly become good friends with your dog!
“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.”
“Celeste is absolutely wonderful - she came through at the last minute to help us with our cats, and was a godsend. She is an excellent communicator and was an immediate hit with our cats. She went above and beyond making sure all was well with them. I would not hesitate to recommend her for cat or dog care.”
About: I have been taking care of animals for nearly a decade. I love the tiniest to the largest, indoor to outdoor. I will happily follow your routines and requests and care for your animals as if they were my own. I am the proud owners of four cats, two dogs, a lizard, and caged invertebrates. No animal too big or too small, I love them all. I build each day's routine around the jobs at hand, flexibility is my main attribute. I will go out of my way to follow your routine to keep your pet on schedule. I have one job that takes me away from the house that is a per diem, the full duration of which is only two and a half hours. I will do my best to make sure that if boarding your animal at my house I do not have that job coincide but if it does I have a safe spot to separate animals for that short period. I have a fenced in backyard and a large open concept house. I have the ability to separate your animal from my animals if that is requested. My personal animals are used to visitors, furry and human.

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.
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 had cats my entire life and a dog since I was ten. I’ve also been volunteering at animal shelters since the beginning of 2024! I have a calm energy which is great for putting anxious pets at ease. I have the most experience with small dogs but love dogs of all sizes! I work part time at Hannaford but my schedule allows me the flexibility to provide your pets with the care they deserve! I have my own car so transportation is not an issue. Pet safety whether out and about or in your home is my top priority! I am careful to observe animal body language so I can better know when to give a pet space or remove them from a distressing situation. If you have any care or safety concerns that are specific to your home or pet, do not hesitate to let me know!
