“Jennifer is amazing! She was great with our pets and sent us many pictures of fur-babies. Definitely recommend AND definitely will be using her service again!!”
“Ronene has only come 2 days now to break up my baby’s long crate day while I work and I’ve already seen the difference! So much calmer (as much as a 7 month old puppy can be calm!) when I get home! I love this woman! She is a pittie lover for sure!❤️”
“My dog absolutely loves her!! Highly recommend. She keeps me inform with my pet. I was worried about leaving my pet with someone and she eased my worries.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my two lab mix dogs for 14 years and many others before Annie and Copper. Annie is a senior with issues such as she’s almost totally blind and her hips are very stiff but she still loves her walks. I’m patient and don’t mind cleaning up her accidents. My son flies me to Long Island 3 times a year to cat sit for Thea and Ollie and they are a joy! I would never rush and will always provide quality time with your pet. I took an early retirement in 2020 during Covid so I have plenty of time and I enjoy walking. I try to get in an average of 12,00 steps a day. I’m very respectful of other people’s property. I couldn’t care for a pet in my home because of my two dogs. They’re older and very set in their routine. I’m very used to feeding and washing out their bowls and making sure they always have water. Picking up after them is something I try to do asap. It’s more sanitary to always keep up with it and it also keeps them from stepping in it the next time they go out. I also cat sit for my neighbor and my son so scooping is no big deal either. If needed, I can brush your pet, wash their face, wipe their feet and even bathe if necessary.
“Outstanding experience, would call Erin again in a heartbeat! We were able to enjoy our son's wedding and the doggies loved her! Thank you! ❤️❤️”
“I've used Sara several times now to take care of my pup Penny and couldn't be happier. I feel comfortable knowing she's in good hands while I'm not home. She even left some tiny polaroid pics of Penny for me.”
“Jessica takes such amazing care of our two kitties who can be nervous around people! We do appreciate her understanding of cats and their temperaments. She always provides detailed updates on how they are doing with lots of pictures which is great! It is such a relief to know they are so well cared for when we are gone!! Thank you, Jessica!”
About: I have been working with dogs since I was in 6th grade. I trained my childhood dog through a 4H program and we completed at the county fair each year in Obedience and Rally. Now I have a rescue who over the past 4 years we've helped work through a lot of reactivity and she now is an active participant in Rally competitions and other classes. As a teacher my summer is wide open for walks and drop in visits. Once the school year starts after school and weekends are open. I'm very comfortable with dogs of various sizes and needs. I can crate your furry family members, get them fed, out for walks etc. I'm comfortable with various walking equipment from harnesses to gentle leaders and collars.
“Jackie went above and beyond to help me out in a pinch, and she was completely understanding of my pets’ needs— highly recommended!”
“Jenny did such an amazing job caring for our dog while we were away. She did extra little things that she didn’t have to do, as taking her for short walks and stayed extra time with her when she was feeling anxious, as our dog has high anxiety and Jenny made sure to keep her comfortable. I was very nervous about leaving my dog knowing her anxiety levels, but Jenny made it so smooth going and made me feel much better about it all! Great communication with me each time she came in my home to care for her too! I will definitely recommend Jenny to anyone that is looking for care for their pet while being away!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a kid. I grew up on a farm, and we always had animals to care for. Currently, I have 1 dog and 4 cats, we rescued a cat family.

Lots of room to run and play as well.

“Deb C. is my neighbor and also my cat sitter. Lucy (my cat) can be difficult, but Deb is great with her and they are becoming friends! She is dependable and goes beyond what is required. As a neighbor, I also get to see her interact with her own dogs. One of them is quite elderly and Deb patiently takes her for gentle, quiet walks every day. Deb and her husband have also befriended a neighborhood stray cat providing him with not only food, but also a warm, safe place to spend the nights. He is totally devoted to Deb's husband and can often be seen with him working in the yard. Deb would provide excellent care for anyone looking for a sitter or walker for their dog or cat. I would highly recommend her!”

13. Ryan S.
“I have three rescue dogs, all with ailments. I am extremely nervous letting anyone watch them. My family member was the only one who I trusted to watch them, but she had a child and couldn’t stay over anymore. Ryan worked with my husband and my husband knew Ryan liked dogs and trusted him. I wasn’t sure at first. However, Ryan came for an intro and sat right on the floor and adored them. He followed my literal 10-15 pages of notes on everything from feedings to medicine to crate and rotate and did it so well. The last time he watched them I told him to call me if anything happened I didn’t have notes for. My male with digestive issues ate one potato chip and Ryan called to be sure I didn’t want him to do anything more. Knowing he does everything the way I want it done and that he doesn’t hesitate to call and that he loves my dogs like his own makes me never want to use anyone else. He’s incredible and would be an amazing asset to anyone who uses him.”
