About: Hi! My name is Caitlyn! I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors since I was 12. I’ve worked with blind, disabled, and dogs who needed diapers, along with oral care and medication. I’m good with big sizes, small sizes, and dogs who need special instructions. Im very flexible with scheduling and I am able to work early hours. I’m in college, so I will have to work around my classes, but my schedule is set and will not change. I’m very flexible and can work before or after classes! I have had a dog in my home my whole life. When I was born I had my first dog who passed away at 16. The dog I have currently is now 16 years old and is very healthy. He has back problems, so he requires special care, medication, and he cannot walk up our stairs. We feed him every morning wet food because his teeth are weak. We used to walk 3 miles together, but now we stick to smaller walks.
About: I have been a pet appreciation magnet as long as I can remember. Even when I am not aiming for the attention, the pets gravitate my way, and i have scritches and belly rubs for them all. I have a rescue of my own for 6+ years now, bichon/poodle mix. Though he had a traumatic start before me, he has adjusted well and is a cuddle bug, and getting better with his socialization with new doggos. I have been a dog sitter for friends over the last 8+ years, when they go on trips. I have experience in minor training, like sit/stay/leash leading, for a few breeds up to 50-70 lbs (no certificates, just repitition and patience). Positive recognition of good behavior and moderate activity (to remedy the bad behavior) when you need me are what I hope to share with your furry family members. I am currently working part-time, so i can set up a schedule of regular pet attention care during part day time hours. Currently I have weekends free if weekend care is requested, though this may change if requests are light. I am working on my house to be able to provide overnight care in the future, making it care friendly for additional furry friends. I have a fenced in, good size yard, and a medium size fur baby of my own to greet stay over friends, though my house needs a little more time for prep before we are ready. I am happy to do drop-ins and day or eve walks at your home, and follow any/all your rules. I respect your needs and want to make sure your fur baby is safe and happy in my care. I keep trainer treats in my car, if we need to practice a few basic commands, as well as water and other care essentials. I have a back seat hammock/cover for the pet's safety when traveling (as needed). I also have a med to large dog kennel I can put in the way back of my SUV if that is preferred for safety and security.
About: I have been pet sitting for the past two years. I have been watching mostly dogs. Most dogs I watch need medication during breakfast and lunch so I am sure to make sure your dogs are being fed and medicated while you are away. I am currently working part time as a substitute teacher so I have a lot of time available to take great care for your dogs. I will make sure your dogs are let out and exercised. I also have no problem walking your dogs and playing with them in your yard.
“Lucinda has been a fantastic walker for Luna. Punctual, professional, and great updates on the walks. Wonderful to work with and couldn’t be happier. We hope to have Lucinda walk Luna again soon!”

About: Hi my name is Ashley and I offer more than just a walk or drop in; I provide hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments through volunteering, fostering, and having my own dog. I am comfortable with high-energy puppies to seniors requiring a gentle touch, and I understand that every dog has a unique personality and specific needs. I have an understanding of a dogs body language and behavior. I can anticipate the needs and manage reactivity, making sure your dog is in a stress-free environment. I am physically capable and experienced in handling large, powerful breeds. Whether your dog is a puller or not I have the strength and technique to keep them safe and happy. I tailor my interactions based on whether your dog is anxious, timid, or over-excited. I treat every dog Im with like they are my own with love and respect. I believe its very important for the animal to trust me and the owner. I am a stay at home mom and love being around animals. My availability is open to your specific needs. I always try to assist anyone even on short notice. Caring for your pet in your home is something I take very seriously. Since it involves entering your residence and taking over the responsibility for your pet, I believe that having a trusting relationship with the pet and owner is crucial. I always like to have a meet and greet this way we see how the your pet reacts to me and it gives me the chance to learn your routine.
About: Since I was a little kid in 70s south Jersey I've been fascinated with animals of every kind! I became a vet tech and later studied animal behavior as a grad student at Temple University. I've loved & cared for every type of friend, from mice to macaws to mastiff! I'm always home! I have a fully animal friendly area and newly fenced in yard in a very quiet area in the middle of horse country. ***please make sure your pet is up to date on flea & tick medication *** *** Please contact me if you had already reserved a booking but now see I've closed for reservations*** I am always home. 24/7. This means there's never a chance your loved one will ever be alone under my care. Taking care of animals has always been my happy place, so my goal is to make this the happiest place for them to visit. ** Due to the mystery respiratory virus impacting dogs across the United States, I strongly recommend that dogs be updated on bordatella and flu vaccines & that you check with your vet before boarding or taking your dog to a groomer or dog park.** My yard was securely fenced last year. My entire house is dedicated to Rover, so your family member doesn't have to interact with anyone they don't want to. There are pet friendly sofas and beds in safe areas, each with its own TV! Bordatella aka kennel cough is an easily transmitted virus in dogs. Because of its long incubation period (2-14 days) it is recommended that you vaccinate your dog every 6 months and at least 2 weeks prior to boarding. No dog pet owner, dog park, veterinary office, kennel or any public places that permit dogs can promise to not expose your pet to kennel cough.
“Nicole is absolutely fabulous with our Cole. She is extremely reliable, and she has such a great understanding of dogs. Our guy is still young and can be aggressive. Nocole has really been a positive influence on him and he is not barking at dogs or people as much on his walks. She is so extremely friendly and personable. You will love her.We do!!”

About: Hi, I’m Dawn! With years of pet care experience, I’m here to give your furry friends the love and attention they deserve while you’re away.

You can count on me for reliable, caring service and regular updates for your peace of mind! I’m a college student studying Nutrition and Dietetics while working an on campus job, this gives me plenty of time to take care of your pets!

About: I bring hands-on, real-world experience from working at a professional dog daycare called Fetch, where I regularly supervised groups of 17–20 dogs at once. This taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play safely, and ensure every dog feels comfortable and enriched. Beyond daycare work, I’ve also done individual dog walking and spent time volunteering at local shelters, where I walked dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. These experiences have helped me build patience, confidence, and strong handling skills. Whether your dog is playful, shy, high-energy, or needs a little extra reassurance, I’m committed to creating a safe, positive, and fun experience for them. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I dedicate Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays entirely to it. I treat pet care like a full-time responsibility on those days, making sure I have plenty of time for walks, play, feedings, and attention. When I’m caring for someone’s pet, they become my priority, and I make sure their routine is followed and their needs are fully met. In my own home, I’ve cared for my dog since he was a puppy—we started with crate training and now he enjoys playtime in our fenced yard and daily walks. Because of that experience, I’m comfortable with different routines and training styles. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very flexible and always follow the routine their dog is used to. Whether that means crate time, specific walking schedules, certain feeding instructions, or favorite play activities, I make sure to care for their pet the same way they would. My goal is to keep each dog comfortable, safe, and happy by sticking to what feels familiar to them.
About: I have lived with dogs my whole life. I have a dog named Romeo who is 4 years old. I have learned that dogs deserve patience and quality time, of course love. I have watched others dogs, family and friends, and they have always been happy with the outcome. I have experience in cleaning, playing, feeding the right amount of food, and caring. I have 2 part time jobs! Currently, my one job is on weekdays in the mornings to mid afternoon (ranges from 8am-2) and my other job is consistently on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 5:30 to close. My first job tends to not schedule me as much so I have more leeway with my morning schedules. Sundays I have church at 11am to 12pm. My household has 3 Dogs, including a fenced in yard. When I let them go out to use the bathroom, I will stand outside to make sure they get inside safely. Around their dinner time, one of our dogs has a separate food bag because he has food sensitivities so I make sure to separate their food and give them a specific amount of food that is good for them. I will play with them all the time, give them love and treats, and make sure they are content. (I will be the only caretaker, no one else in my household will be accompanying me!)
About: I have had 5 years of personal experience pet sitting. I have a dog myself who just recently turned 5. She is a lab hound mix and sheds like there’s no tomorrow. I have taken care of my cousin's husky puppy who is even more of a handful, but it is such a delight to pet sit. It is one of the many things I enjoy, and I am extremely flexible with my hours. I will provide hourless fun of play time, and many walks if desired. I will keep a very sharp eye on your dog and make sure that no accidents occur if it’s a puppy or even an adult. I can provide endless fun and safe pet sitting for your pet. I currently work part time and am always able to fit your pet into my day wether a long walk or a short check in! I won’t be caring for dogs in my home. And I won’t be staying over at clients houses overnight. This is a service I don’t want to provide.
