Ive been pet sitting and walking since the age of 13 Which has helped me learn all about caring for animals at all ages. From 4 weeks up till seniority, I can do it all and love every minute of it. Taking care of animals is something im extremely passionate about. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry(or feathered or scaled) friend!

“Gil has been terrific - everything we could have asked for in a sitter. He truly cares about our dog and Communication is consistent and informative. Most importantly our 5 year old pup absolutely loves Gil!”
“Paula was a fantastic dog sitter for our three dogs. She came on time and kept them great company. She texted us throughout the day to give us photos and updates and to ask questions. What I most appreciate about Paula is the sense of safety and reliability she brings to the job: since she made sure to keep us updated about the dogs throughout the day, I never had to worry or wonder what was happening at the house. Upon returning home, we found our dogs happy and healthy. I would book Paula again in a heartbeat!”
About: I've cared for pets of all kinds since l was 10. My experience includes training puppies, caring for senior dogs, administering medication, and providing personalized love and attention.

I have a safe, welcoming environment for pets including pet lobby. I prioritize their comfort and safety and tailor my care to each pet's needs.
About: I’ve cared for many of my own pets, more than just dogs and cats. Family and family friends have relied on me to watch their pets while on vacay. One of which is on 2 meds morning and night. With puppies I can do simple training I’m currently unemployed, so my availability is open to care for the fur babies that can’t do it all for themselves. Your furbabies routine becomes my routine My fur baby, Milo gets fresh water daily, refill food as needed, scoop litter every other day. And when it’s time to clean up after him everything gets a good wash especially the litter box because I myself cannot let that get disgusting. He gets his nails trimmed by me, and bathed from time to time
About: I’ve taken care of lots of pets over the years. I enjoy being around animals and showing them love because they do the same for us! I have a genuine love for taking care of things if I can help it and I’m going to school to even become a nurse. I also started a house plant hobby. Taking care of things is just in my blood. I’m available more in the evenings . My schedule is flexible but inconsistent because I’m part time at my jobs but we can discuss availability if you book me to take care of your pet(s)! I have a fenced in back yard and just one cat. I’m able to keep them separated if needed. I also have my own home and it’s a smoke free one! I’m very clean and clean my home daily. I let my cat on the couches so yours will be allowed the same if they are not dirty of course.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a deep love for them. While I’ve primarily worked with horses and cows, I’ve also spent years around dogs and cats. We have our own rescue pup at home, and I’ve helped care for everything from small lap dogs to German Shepherds. There’s always been a family or friends dog around, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently have two side jobs that I have full control over, so I’m able to be flexible and available any time of day or week to care for your pet. Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evenings, I can adjust my schedule to meet your needs! When I’m caring for pets in their home, I do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll follow any instructions you leave closely - whether it’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or giving medications. I respect your home, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure your pets get lots of love and attention while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident your pets and your space are in good hands!
“Destiny has been just fantastic. I needed a house sitter to watch over my 10 week old puppy as I could not travel with her. After a meet & greet that went extremely well, Destiny agreed to house sit for the three consecutive days. I could not be happier. Destiny took fantastic care of my puppy, taking her outside for potty breaks as needed, day or night. The regular updates with photos, videos and messages were reassuring and calming for me. Destiny also was so respectful of the house and left it as nice as when she first got here. I could not have been happier with a house sitter for my puppy. Thank you! I know my puppy misses her!”
About: I've loved and cared for dogs and cats since I was a child. I now work remotely, so I can be quite flexible in terms of care and stays. While I live in Homer, NY, I currently work remotely. My schedule is extremely flexible, even with short notice. And I love pets of all types of sizes. While I do not currently have pets of my own, I lived as both a kid and adult with both dogs and cats. I'll keep them safe and shower them with love!
About: Calm, relaxing, loving home for your pet! I work from home so am here almost all day and night. Safe and cared for while you’re gone. I have a huge fenced in yard, and additional acres to walk your dog leashed if you’d like me too. It’s quiet here. Your pet will be comfortable in his own space near me. We have no cats living here at this time but they are always welcomed! I will follow whatever walking, and eating instructions that you set for your pet, to keep their schedules as normal as possible to help relieve the stress of being away. Our home is their home! I’m fully insured and able to handle any needs your pet has! I was a certified medical assistant and phlebotomist (blood draws) so healthcare is in my background also. I am self employed and will be home with your pet. Your pet will be well supervised and treated as a part of the family. My home is private, quiet and safe. It is large and has a nice big fenced yard that I will walk your pet in. I will walk your dog every 2 hours and will not let your pet go outside without me. I have two dogs, Latte, a 40lb retriever mix that was a rescue, and is very sweet, but timid around people she doesn’t know, and Gracie Mae, Golden Retriever, that is 6 months old, 50 lbs, and learning to be a gentle not wild sister to Latte! I always safely separate dogs from different families.

About: Hi I’m Natalie! I love animals and have grown up caring for them my whole life. I’ve had a range of animal care experience from mice to sea turtles and everything in between. I currently have two dogs and two cats and a betta fish. I have experience with large dogs like my Saint Bernard boxer mix and small dogs like my frenchie. I’ve also had experience caring for an elderly dog the past feed years administering medication frequently and cleaning her ears. I also volunteered for three years at an animal clinic where I also interned granting me more animal care qualities! I usually let my dogs out in the mornings for breakfast and feed them and then again at night. I also have given them baths and groomed them regularly. I even have had to give my older dog medicine regularly throughout the day. I do not have a fenced in yard but I have a dog run that I will use and also have two of my own dogs to play with them.
“Chantal did a wonderful job watching Luna while I was away! She was very responsive, provided me plenty of updates, and left my apartment in great condition. I would definitely recommend her!!”
“Daija was so great with Victor! She watched him for the 2.5 weeks I was away and he seemed so happy and content with her. Daija was so concerned about Victor's safety and wellbeing while I was gone, I was always sure he was in good hands.”
“We were extremely nervous about leaving our dog for the first time, having never used a dog sitter before. From the moment we met Briana, those nerves started to melt away. She was kind, attentive, and instantly connected with our pups in a way that gave us real peace of mind. Throughout our time away, Briana kept us updated with photos and little notes about how things were going. It was clear she wasn’t just checking in—she was truly spending quality time with our dogs, keeping their routine consistent and giving them so much love and attention. When we came home, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Briana. She exceeded our expectations in every way and made what could have been a stressful experience completely stress-free. We wouldn’t hesitate to call her again and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible dog sitter!”

Monique J.
“Monique is WONDERFUL! I actually met her at her job, Petland. I was shopping for a new collar and some toys for my boxer mix and I was going on about how I was trying to find someone to watch him for the weekend while I went away on business, and she mentioned that she actually did dog sitting and would love to do it. The next day I met with her and my little Billy got to see her house and meet her dogs, everyone immediately hit it off amd it was set! She sent me LOADS of pictures and videos of Billy having fun with her and her dogs, even ahowing me that she took him to the pool. It really helped reassure me, especially since this is the first time spending the weekend away from him. She really is the greatest and her love for dogs is evident.”

Solena S.
“I am pleased to provide this testimonial for my sister, Solena, who has consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to the care and well-being of animals. She possesses a natural affinity for animals, paired with a calm, attentive demeanor that puts them at ease and allows her to build trust quickly. Solena is both responsible and detail-oriented, qualities that are essential in animal caregiving. Whether managing feeding schedules, maintaining clean and safe environments, or responding to the unique needs of each animal, she approaches every task with professionalism and compassion. She also shows a strong willingness to learn and adapt, and takes pride in performing her responsibilities to the highest standard. Her dedication, empathy, and work ethic make her exceptionally well-suited for a role in animal care. I am confident that any organization or individual who entrusts animals to Solena’s care will find her to be a capable, trustworthy, and compassionate caregiver. Corina slater”

Aaron F.
“Aaron is one of the most kind, gentle souls I’ve ever met. I’ve known him for over 22 years, and I can confidently say there are few in this world I trust more than him. Every animal I’ve ever seen him with, including my own dog, is both safe and loved in his presence. I never let anyone other than my mother watch my dog, but if I needed to, I’d hand her to him without a second thought. He’s trustworthy and dependable in ways most could never achieve. I couldn’t possibly recommend him more to care for anyone’s pets. He is a diamond in the rough, and your pets will always be in great hands.”
