Pet Sitting in Deansboro

About: I grew up with dogs and recently owned 2 rescued dogs. I have land around my home and access to a wooded area with trails for longer walks. I am comfortable with caring for dogs in any facet. I am a teacher and I am looking for summer work. I am free every day until late August. I am willing to walk your dog in your neighborhood or board a dog over night. I have a stake in my yard for when my daughter visits with her 35 lb. Dog. Previous bigger dogs were walked on a leash at all times. I usually walk my dogs 1-2x daily for up to a 1/2 hour.

“Sara has done another week of visiting Etta. She makes sure Etta has everything she needs and spends time with her so she isn’t lonely. Highly recommended!”

“Alexandrea was absolutely amazing with our two cats! Communication with her was easy and she sent us pictures everyday of our cats. First time trying rover and she went above and beyond for us. Not only did she take great care of the cats, she even cleared snow when there was a storm while we were away, so above and beyond what she came to do! I would recommend her to anyone for care of your pets while you’re away.”

About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of dogs majority of my life. From miniature poodle to German Shepard. I treat our furry friends like family. I currently am a registered nurse who works nights shift. My schedule is all over the place at times but I do get it about a month in advance. I’m part time which means 64 hours bi-weekly I don’t force the pets to like me. I let them come to me otherwise I believe it can be traumatic. I do tend to have treats to gain their trust.

About: I had multiple animals growing up, and always helped take care of them all. I’ve also helped take care of family, friends, and neighbors dogs and cats! I work a full time job Monday-Friday from 7am-4pm so I’m always going to be available on weekends or anytime after 4pm during the week days! I treat every cat and/or dog like it’s my own, every pet gets the same attentive care no matter what. I always make sure your little one has a save environment

About: Hi my name is Averi, I have been around animals my entire life but have the most experience with dogs. I do have a charcoal lab of my own who is now a certified service animal that travels around to nursing homes and comforts those in need of puppy love. I recently got back from traveling abroad and am looking for a side job to back up my part time job! I have a 11 month lab of my own so she gets 3 meals a day, plus plenty of exercise to tire her out at night. I make sure to take her on at least one big hike a week to make sure she is getting that experience, and am always taking her into public for socialization I treat others animals as if they were my own, I take pride that I treat animals very well and am always willing to do anything to make sure the owners is as comfortable as can be. I believe that in order to make an animal act right they need to feel comfortable and safe, which requires patience and a soft hand.

“Alexxis is very responsible She has managed our two dogs very well with one being anxious and high strung Highly recommend!”

“Gabriella dropped in to look after our 2 cats for us. She was very professional and even agreed to extend the booking by two days. I would definitely book with her again.”

About: Hi! My name is Jessica and I would love to take care of your pet while you’re away. I have unofficially been a pet sitter for several years. I have been fortunate to have friends and coworkers ask me to help with their pets and since then word of mouth has given me the chance to pet sit a lot more, which I love! I have always loved animals and have had the chance to watch and help out with many dogs, cats, chickens, lizards, and even a couple horses. I have two cats who are my world and I intend to make your pet as much of a priority my own. If you were to hire me I would make sure your pet(s) have a schedule as close to normal as possible. I have no issues staying over with your dog or cat. My favorite thing to do while I dog sit is take them for walks, so that is not an issue at all and I will always make sure your dog is well secured and watched throughout any time outside. I am typically busy Monday - Friday from 7:30 AM - 5 PM which is why I said that I can’t be available full time during weekdays, but I am free all day during weekends. I have no issues with staying over or popping in several times a day if that is what you prefer. Safety for your pet is my #1 goal, but I also am there to spend time with them, play, and take them for walks. I know leaving your pet is stressful for you and them, so I always try to distract them and make sure they get lots of love and attention. I also am more than happy to provide a lot of pictures and updates to ease your mind as well! Unfortunately, my apartment building does not allow pets, not even to visit, so I have no opportunity to board your pet.

“Cassie took amazing care of my cats while we were away! She kept us updated daily with reports and pictures and gave them some extra attention. I came back home to two happy and healthy cats!”

“We were extremely happy with Nina watching Gunther. We were at ease knowing she would be here looking after him. We loved the pictures and updates we got. Nina made us feel very confident that Gunther was in good hands.”

Gerry & Gary P.

“Riley was great to work with - we even had a tricky lockout situation while we were away and Riley worked with us every step of the way to get it resolved. Strongly recommend Riley.”

About: I have had dogs in my house for the past 17 years. I am looking to care for your animals and show them love and joy. I enjoy being around animal friends very much. I am a very big animal lover. I love cuddling animals and making them feel loved. I love it when pet parents leave me great directions and I love sending them notes or pictures back of their babies to brighten their days. My favorite thing is sending pet parents their pictures of their babies so they can see how they're doing. Please let me know what special treats, blankets, or toys make your pets happy because happy pets are the best and they make their owners happy. Feel free to contact me with any other inquiries. I currently work a part-time job. my schedule is pretty flexible as long as I have early enough notice. I typically have shorter shifts and am available whenever I’m not working. I do not have a fenced-in yard but I can keep your pup on a leash and play with them in the backyard we have.

“Amber is exactly the person you want caring for your dog! She has been wonderful and reliable with our puppy, sending lots of pictures and videos and taking the absolute best care of our fur baby. Highly recommend!”

What You Can Expect ✅ 1–3 photo updates per day ✅ Personalized routines ✅ Several daily walks ✅ Tons of affection (if wanted!) ✅ Low-stress, quiet home ✅ Gentle, patient settling-in process ✅ Medication administration (if needed) 🧡 Specialized Add-On Care We offer extra support for pets with higher needs (please select at booking): Anxiety Support: +$50/night Puppy Supervision: +$50/night Senior Care: +$50/night Medical/Special Needs: +$50/night ✨ Optional Add-Ons Brush-Outs: $15–$50 FaceTime Check-ins: $15 (15 min) High-Energy Playtime: $60 (1 hour) Extra Updates: $10 each Home-Cooked Meals: $25/day 🧼 Other Fees (Only If Needed) Cleaning (Excessive Accidents): $20 Per Accident Damage: Cost of repair Emergency Vet Transport: $50 + vet cost or transfer to emergency contact 📋 Drop-Off & Behavior Policy At your meet-and-greet or drop-off, we’ll ask you to sign a brief form outlining our policies. We’ve worked with pets with mild to moderate anxiety, but we cannot accept pets with severe separation anxiety or behaviors that require 24/7 supervision — those pets must be picked up immediately due to causing high-tension and stressful situations for both your pet, and our family.

That’s why we’ve set clear boundaries: to protect the peaceful, loving environment we’ve built and to prioritize clients who respect their pets and us — especially with a young child in our home. These policies aren’t meant to discourage who we service at our core - amazing loving pet parents. They simply help filter out mismatches so we can focus on what we do best: giving your pet a safe, happy, and loving stay. Thank you for understanding, and supporting care rooted in honesty, trust, and love. Availability: Joshua works full time from home, and Kaitlin stays home full time so we tend to have open availability to care for your loved pets. Limitations: ❌ No aggressive animals ❌ No animals with fleas currently ❌ No animals who are not child friendly ❌ Must have proof of rabies vaccines for dogs ❌ Must regularly check dogs or cats for ticks ❌ No animals with severe anxiety (unless discussed prior)
