“Neyda was a delight to meet and a fast friend to our Frenchie Lucy. The meet and greet with my wife included taking Lucy for a walk that started a bond. Neyda took good care of our home and our sweet dog. Already planning our next get away with Neyda to help take care of Lucy. A great find!”

“Chase was amazing! You can tell right away that he has a way with animals and puts a lot of care into making sure that you and they are comfortable. He sent regular updates with cute videos and pictures so that we could see what everyone was up to. I could tell that Benny had such a great time with him. I can’t recommend Chase enough!”

About: I grew up with dogs since the age of 3 and, as an adult had dogs for the past 26 years. I’ve trained three puppies into respectable, loving adult dogs. And my last two dogs I trained as therapy dogs, who visited elder day programs & senior living facilities as part of their service. I work from home as a geriatric social worker and have the good fortune to set my own schedule, which allows for a lot of time for dog walks, trips to the beach & belly rubs. Exclusive access to our fenced in yard, walks in an upscale neighborhood & lots of belly rubs in our beautiful home will be granted. If appropriate, I live a short distance from the beach & beach play dates can be arranged. I have an 8 yr old golden doodle therapy dog, who will be your pup’s guide & playmate. I work as a geriatric social worker from home and make my own schedule so your dog will get loads of attention & the best of care. Sorry, no cats allowed as I’m allergic. With our 1 acre property w a surrounding fence, your dog can explore safely while I sit close. Many belly rub and neighborhood walks throughout the day will be incorporated. I have space for a crate if Clients want to bring one. I also love to snuggle with dogs and allow them on the furniture. If the days are hot I have a puppy pool, A/C & the beach is a short distance away.

“Chrystal was great with our dogs. She sent us frequent updates and the dogs were clearly happy with her. She is experienced handling rescue dogs which is always a plus!”

“I highly recommend Mike to come to your home and take care of your pets. I was gone for two weeks and he made sure my dog was safe, healthy and happy. I will definately be asking Mike again in the future.”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I did some cat sitting while I was in undergrad and would like to continue cat sitting. I’ve always been comfortable around animals and would love to help with your cat and dog sitting needs. I work during the day but I am available in the afternoons and on the weekends! If you need an afternoon walk, or a housesit while you are out of town for the weekend, I’m your gal! I love spending time with animals, it’s usually slow at first while you gain their trust but I’ve never met an animal I couldn’t get to warm up to me. Spicy kitties included (although that might take a while and only get to a be in the same room basis)

“Abi was very caring and took excellent care of my cat. She sent me photos and stayed in touch. My cat really liked her and responded so well to her time together.”

Marilyn G.

“Morgan took great care of both our dog and cat! He sent us tons of photos and left our place immaculate. He was also very friendly and communicative while we were abroad. Would highly recommend and trust Morgan with our fur babies!”

Emily R.

“Elizabeth is responsive and dependable. She was very caring with my 10 month old puppy who she watched over a period of 3 days visiting my hotel room while I was out for wedding events. My schedule would change slightly and she was flexible with my needs. I highly recommend her and would use her again.”

Cher Z.

“Grace is absolutely amazing! She takes care of your pets like her own and we couldn’t recommend her enough. Truly a first class sitter who is so attentive and communicative while giving your pet the best possible service while you’re away. Grace will always be our top choice!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who believes every dog deserves daily exercise, fresh air, and plenty of attention. As a remote worker who enjoys daily walks, I have a flexible schedule and would love to help keep your pup happy, active, and cared for. I had a German Shepherd–Husky mix who lived a healthy, happy 14 years, and I was hands-on with his meals, medications, and daily care. I’m also a proud cat mom to three rescues—two Siamese and a Ragdoll—who have made my home their own. Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and well-being will always be my priority! I work from home as a technical marketing writer for a hardware company, and my schedule is fairly flexible, with most of my meetings in the mornings EST. I’d love to make the most of my daily walks by spending that time with fur babies. Although I cannot care for other's pets in my own home as I have 3 cats (one of which is perpetually spicy) I am happy to travel to the owner's home to do check ins, play fetch, walks, etc. as needed.

“Courtney is a reliable and attentive house-sitter. I was happy that she watched over my furry friend, Sebastian, and she gave him plenty of love and affection. I received frequent updates and photos and felt assured he was given good company. Thank you Courtney!”

About: My entire life I have been surrounded by the best furry family. We had well trained, obedient and incredibly kind dogs growing up. I wished upon a star at 10 years old and voila, I got my first golden retriever puppy as a present a few weeks later. Duke Skywalker was my first big responsibility, from working on potty training to letting him off leash on hikes and on the beach. He trusted me and I trusted him. During the pandemic, he was getting older and I did what I could to help him feel comfortable and loved. Even when he wasn’t able to walk, I’d place him in the back of the car and just sit with him watching the waves cuddled up with blankets. Must have patience with the older pups, and I loved every minute. I have trained my family’s adopted pups and they caught on fast. My roommate has a cat who I help care and train for when she is out of town for work, who knew training a cat actually works. Persistence, love and patience is key! I’m currently in between jobs, figuring out if I want a career switch. I have been wanting to surround myself with pets and helping anyone who needs it. I understand not having as much time as one would like, therefore happy to lend a hand in helping walk, feed, sit, even cuddle if your pet allows. I have a big space in my home and love to go outside and enjoy the fresh air, especially if it’s along the beach on a sunny day. In a client’s home, I would play with my new furry friend in the yard if they have or research nearby safe dog parks, or parks to walk with them to. And if the dogs or cats allow, always up for cuddles when sitting on the couch ‘Netflix & chilling’!

“Lacey watched our dog at our house while we were gone for a long weekend and was excellent. Our dog had a great time and we felt great knowing that Lacey was taking great care of her, taking her on long walks and giving her lots of love. Lacey is great with dogs and has a calm presence that helps keep our dog mellow. This is our second time having Lacey dog sit and we’ll definitely do it again!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have a natural knack for connecting with them. I grew up with dogs, cats, the occasional rodent and I have previously pet-sit and dog walked for friends. I have had pets of all ages and am comfortable administering meds if needed. I have a very open and flexible schedule, though I occasionally teach scuba diving on the weekends. Because my hours vary, please check my Rover calendar to confirm availability. Because I provide care directly in your home and neighborhood, your pet's safety and the security of your home are my top priorities. • Home & Leash Safety: I always double-check that doors, windows, and gates are securely locked when entering or leaving your home. When we are out on a walk, your dog will remain securely leashed at all times, and I maintain a high awareness of our surroundings to avoid any stressful interactions with other animals or traffic. • Constant Communication: I provide regular, detailed updates with photos from our walks or drop-in visits so you always know exactly how your pet is doing. • Emergency Preparedness: Before our first booking, we will complete a Meet & Greet to review your pet’s exact routine. I will ask for your primary vet's details, emergency contacts, and clear instructions for your pet’s specific medication schedules if required.

About: Lots of experience with dogs, cats, farm animals, reptiles, rodents, and more. II've taken care of everything from puppies to seniors, and dachshunds to wolf hybrids. Your pets are always safe with me! I'm a student at SBCC and am taking a couple summer courses that allow me to work from anywhere. I have a very flexible schedule and can do whatever is needed! I have lots of experience housesitting, dog walking, and doing drop-by visits. I've always been very in tune with how animals are feeling and am often very able to tell what they need.

About: I have taken care of dogs and house-sat for families in my community since I was in high school. Whether it was checking in on dogs during the day or spending the night, I’ve responsibly cared for a family’s best friend. I have experience administering medicine to dogs and dealing with ones that may be considered “high maintenance.” I love just hanging out, walking, and taking care of dogs. I currently work full time from 10 am to 7 pm. I come home everyday for an hour lunch so I would be able to come and check in on your pup. I would be able to walk your dog in the morning and check on them during the day. I would feel comfortable taking your dog on walks around your neighborhood.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and all kinds of animals. My childhood dog was truly my best friend, and animals have always been an important part of my life. When I had my own family, my first dog was a Bull Terrier. Because he was such a strong and heavy dog, I worked privately with a dog psychologist and regularly attended dog school. Sadly, he passed away from a tumor at only five years old. My second dog was an Australian Shepherd who eventually became a wonderful companion dog for elderly residents in retirement homes. He passed away at age ten following complications from surgery. My last dog, Scruffy, was a rescue from Romania and probably taught me the most. She had experienced trauma and struggled with fear and anxiety, which made her a real challenge at first. Through training, patience, consistency, safety, and above all, love, she gradually learned to trust again. These experiences have given me a great deal of understanding and practical skill when it comes to reading dogs, handling challenging situations, and keeping both dogs and myself safe. I understand that every dog has a different personality, history, and needs. When a dog is in my care, my goal is simple: to make them feel safe, cared for, understood, and happy while their family is away. ❤️🐾 I'm currently between jobs and looking for tithe right party-time opportunity, which gives me the wonderful opportunity to spend some of my free time doing something I genuinely love-being around dogs. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time, and I'm happy to crate a dog if tithes is part of their normal routine or what makes them more comfortable.

About: I have over 25 years of pet and house sitting experience. I love the company of dogs and cats; caring for your pets is truly a gift that keeps on giving. My approach is clear, kind and communicative with both pet and their owners. I take the time to get to know your pets prior to sits whenever possible. I am comfortable staying over night in homes of varying sizes, including large estates, and happy to discuss additional tasks such as: collecting mail, taking out garbage, managing home deliveries, and /or attending to gardeners and repairmen. I appreciate the need for trust and confidence with all my clients and make it point to leave every home I caretake clean, tidy and positive throughout my stay and upon departure. I've been custodian of dogs and cats ranging from 1+-21 years in age who need oral and topical medications and have experience handling pet emergencies. I'm an outdoor enthusiast, so enjoy taking your dog (s) on hikes and to dog parks if this is something your pup enjoys as well! I live a healthy, positive lifestyle- do not drink, smoke, or use recreational drugs; an early to bed early to rise schedule. I have been practicing and facilitating meditation and mindfulness, as well as working privately in the field of psychology and the healing and creative arts for 30 years. It is my heart felt intention to create a loving, peaceful and healthy home environment for your pets, so you can relax and enjoy your time elsewhere with peace of mind. I presently work for myself at home via zoom and privately with local clients in their homes, so my schedule is more flexible and accommodating. I'm an active person, love being outdoors, while mostly enjoying quiet evenings at home. The company of animals is just icing on the cake whether I'm working from home during the day or relaxing in the evening with them. I like to meet pets and their owners first when possible, so they can get to know me before beginning a sit. This visit is free of charge. My intention is to support (your pets') home routine as much as possible to ensure they feel safe, loved, and looked after in absence of their owners. I'm very respectful of owners property, clarify boundaries, needs and expectations up front with owners before we enter into an agreement. When issues, emergencies, and/or important questions arise, I alert home/pet owners ASAP to discuss possible options; I've handled pet and home emergencies throughout my years of care.
