“Wonderful experience every time!!!”
“I highly recommend Tracy! She’s popped in to care for my 2 pups (older 11 year old girl, and energetic 1 1/2 year old huge puppy). Tracy is really tuned in and easily gauges and provides individual attention to my two pets who’s needs are very diverse. Tracy is very responsible, competent and I trust my dogs are well cared for, my house is also safe. I trust her and super glad we found her!”
About: Whether you have a playful pup, a curious cat, a cuddly guinea pig, a slithering reptile, or a chatty bird, I’m available to provide the best care for all your furry, scaly, and feathered friends. I understand that each pet has unique needs, from daily walks and belly rubs for dogs to creating the perfect habitat for reptiles and keeping your cat’s world enriched with toys and cuddles. I offer compassionate care tailored to your pet’s specific personality and requirements, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away. No matter the species, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family, with lots of attention, patience, and of course, treats! I have a flexible schedule as most of my work is done out of my home. If you have a dog that needs more frequent relief breaks, that is no problem at all. I always prefer to provide care in your home, and will treat your home, property and of course your pets with the upmost respect. In addition to caring for your pets, I am happy to bring in the mail or delivered packages, and provide other random services at your request as needed. I can provide boarding care in my home with notice, if your pet is house-trained and gets along well with my personal pets.

Communication is key, so I keep clients updated and address any concerns promptly.
“Abigail was the perfect cat sitter. I was so nervous leaving my cats for so long but it turns out, I didn't have to worry at all. She came for a meet and greet, learned all their names, and followed every instruction during the entire two week period. I needed twice a day drop ins for one hour each. She stayed for the entire hour, played with the cats, fed them, pet them, cleaned food bowls, replaced water bowls and cleaned their litter. She took pictures of them every time and by the end, my cats were so comfortable with her. I would hundred percent recommend her if you want a sweet, caring sitter who you can rely on.”
“All good.”

She is very attentive and observant of any changes in our pets' behavior. She makes sure to let us know of any concerns she notices. She also sends us pictures from each visit while we're away and keeps us updated on how our pets are doing. I would highly recommend Elise to anyone looking for a sitter for their pets!”

I love animals and I feel comfortable making sure they are well cared for, from food to walks to playing with them outside. I am reliable and really enjoy taking care of pets, so I am always on time and would never want to leave a pet alone for a long time. My schedule varies day to day and week to week. I am open to scheduling services ahead of time but am open to short notice as well! I am not currently offering care in my own home as my yard is not fenced in and my home is too small to allow more animals enough space.

Regardless of the creature, I will love your animal and will provide the best care possible. I am infinitely playful and loving. I’m currently a stay at home mom and have a very flexible schedule. I have a lot of freedom while my children are at school between 7-3 and after 4:30 when my husband returns home from work. We have a very sweet miniature Dachshund who LOVES playing with other dogs. I do not have a fenced in yard and will take your pup for walks to ensure he/she is getting exercise. Our Dachshund can play with your dog inside, and can either accompany your dog on a walk or can stay behind while I walk your pup.
“Dany was the best - kind and accommodating and cared for my kitty like it was her pet!”
About: I spent 3 months last fall volunteering at a dog shelter (5 days a week, 4 hours a day), I’ve worked many dog and cat sitting jobs, and I’ve had my rescue dog Artie for 14 years. I have experience with puppies and rescue dogs. I’m currently taking a gap year and staying home for the next couple of months. My schedule is fairly flexible at the moment, trying to pick up whatever jobs I can! I can follow instructions to care for your pets in your home how you want me to. I’m more than happy to take them for walks, play with them, feed them (including any medications) and give them lots of love!
About: Hi everyone, I’m Amanda! Currently a stay at home mom raising my 5 and 6 year old human children, and my 7year old mix and crazy kitten! We’re all avid hikers and nature lovers, being outside is our absolute favorite! I grew up having dogs, mostly mixes and rescues, so I know how to gently approach pets that may have trust issues or who may be shy. With our mix having husky in her, I know all about high energy and how to get them relaxed and sleepy! Walking, running, and hiking are what we use to personally exercise our dogs so I can make sure whatever works best for your pup is what we’ll do! If needed I can be open to at home boarding, but I would first need to be sure they’d get along with my dogs :) Thank you for reading! I'm currently home full time with my kids in school, so I'm available from 9A - 2P (depending on distance) and after 5 during the week, as needed on the weekends. We have a large yard, and lead available for dogs who may need it. Currently our dog does well to stay on our property, she loves walking down to the brook for a dip!
