About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember—from fish and lizards to cats and dogs. My wife and I are proud cat parents to S’mores (who, despite my best efforts, isn’t too keen on training). I helped train both of my family dogs and still love visiting them at my parents’ house. After a busy year teaching high school, I’m looking forward to a summer with less talking and more time playing with pets. I’m happy to work on basic training or reinforce commands while you’re away—whatever helps keep your pet happy, safe, and loved! I am a full time school teacher so I have a great schedule with plenty of time for your furry friend! Available most days and times and willing to work on your pets schedule Comfortable handling all walking, litter box cleaning, feeding, and certain medications for your pet. I have over 15 years of personal experience with pets and over 5 years experience with pet sitting for hire. I can’t wait to meet your pets!

Jessica was wonderful with Toffee! She took great care of my pup during our two days of walks, and her kind nature really shows. I’m very happy with her services and will definitely reach out to her again.

I am an active person and love the outdoors which would be perfect to get your pup as my walking buddy. 🙂 I WFH with flexible schedule. I go for a walk a few times a day which would be perfect to walk your pup with me! 😃 most nights and weekends I am free also which would be perfect for date nights and weekend care.

About: I have taken care of animals since I was little, and there’s rarely been a time I didn’t have a pet of my own to care for. I have experience dog walking and pet sitting (both cats and dogs) from neighbors and friends and am looking forward to doing so for your fur babies too! I work from home as an artist which leaves me with a very flexible schedule to give your pets the attention and care that they need. Most of my availability is weekdays but it changes week to week. The pet care I offer includes walks and drop-in visits. You can rest assured your pets will be loved and well taken care of with me. Please communicate any preferences or concerns and I will do my best to accommodate!

About: I have over 6 years of experience caring for my own dog, as well as helping to take care of my cousin's dogs. I took care of them by feeding, walking, and giving them water. I also completed an internship at Rockaway Veterinary Hospital, where I gained hands-on experience with basic care and monitoring pets' health and behavior. I feel comfortable working with any animals as long as they aren't too aggressive. I loved working and being with animals since I was little, and in the future, I hope to work on a farm or as a vet. I'm going to college, and I'm available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to care for your pets. Any time works for me before 8:00 pm. I usually take care of pets by taking them on walks, feeding them, and giving them water. The service I provide is going to the client's house and taking care of their pet. When pet sitting, I update the client by sending pictures and texting them about the pet's progress. In case of an emergency, I will take the pet to the vet.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. I grew up with 2 beautiful dogs one since I was 5. I’ve owned 2 other dogs since and have been responsible for walking, feeding, & taking care of them my entire life. I’ve trained them and have taken care of large puppy litters 3 times. I know my way around dogs very well and have always loved them. I’m a dog person 100% and can handle any type of dog. I’ve owned large, medium & small dogs as well as puppies. Bonus, if your dog is very active I could run with them as well instead of only walking. I’m currently working only part-time. I’m available basically every day at most times during the day and I’m flexible. I can cover weekdays & weekends. I love pets and treat them with care. I’ve never believed in pet violence. The care I’d give to your dog should be the least of your concerns. I love dogs and get along with them very well.

About: Hello! I have a lifelong passion for caring for animals. From a young age, I've been surrounded by pet bunnies, cats, dogs and lizards. I would like to keep taking care of your furry family members and, my number 1 priority is to make sure they're happy, healthy, and loved. It's not just me though, my boyfriend, Gill A. also joins me on these sits, so your furry friend gets double the love! As dedicated pet caregivers, we understand certain pets unique needs and preferences. Whether providing nourishing meals, engaging in interactive play sessions, or offering gentle companionship and cuddles! If your pet happens to be a lizard, maybe no cuddling, but we will make sure they are well fed and happy! In addition to essential care tasks, we both offer various fun activities, specifically to cats and dogs so that they are entertained and mentally stimulated. This may include interactive toy play, puzzle feeders, and laser point games. For dogs, this would include playing some tug of war, fetch, or frisbee! Every pet deserves the best care possible, and we are here to provide just that. If you need caring and responsible sitters who will treat your furry friend like family, please don't hesitate to reach out. We would be honored to care for your beloved furry family member! Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, as I am a full-time student with flexibility in the afternoons, starting from 3 PM. This allows me to dedicate focused time and attention to pets, ensuring they receive the care, exercise, and companionship they deserve For in-home pet care, we prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. This includes regular feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications if needed, and ensuring plenty of playtime and affection. Additionally, we maintain cleanliness by cleaning litter boxes, disposing of waste, and keeping living areas tidy. We also offer personalized attention and follow the owner's specific care instructions to ensure their pet's well-being and happiness.

Our Boston terrier absolutely LOVES Jaylynn! Going away for a week, we left our pup at home with a relative who couldn’t take him in regular walks, but Jaylynn came every day to tire him out. She was prompt, communicative, and flexible. 10/10 would recommend

Brian has been great with our young and energetic American Bulldog. We were looking for someone sturdy who is comfortable around large dogs and can read them well (i.e overheating) and he has done just that! He is also very communicative and clear which is always the gold standard when you are entrusting someone with your dog and access to home.
