1. Missy R.
“Missy was great with our 2 cats while we were away! I was worried about our older cat because she has recently been finicky about food but Missy kept me informed and up to date on everything! She was super responsive, sent photos and updates while I was gone and the cats were happy and the house looked great when we returned! I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets whether is be midday checks or while your away. Her animal care knowledge and attention to detail made me feel very comfortable while we were gone.”

About: I am an animal lover. Prior to having my own dogs, I volunteered at the humane society walking and caring for dogs. I have also had my dogs go through professional puppy classes and can give any tips I learned from them and utilize my knowledge while watching you dog. I always babysit my friends and families' animals while they are on vacation, or just too busy. I will love them as I do my own. I have a work from home job/office job- where I have flexible hours if you need me somewhere at a certain time. I can send pictures of your animals so you know they are well taken care of, and much more! I can feed them, take them for walks, and anything else that is needed. If you want someone dependable and trustworthy, I'm definitely your girl. I have 10 years of experience growing up with dogs, as well as fostering cats. I have two golden retrievers that are high energy, so I know first hand what care you dogs need. I know the love that needs to be provided for your pet while you are away. Walking them, feeding them, and just in general loving them. I promise your pet with be in good hands! I currently have a routine with my own dogs that is very well manageable. Wake up, feed them, play some, then they sleep for a couple of hours and just repeat. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs that will keep your fur baby entertained and comfortable and safe. I promise your dog will have so much fun.

15. Chelsey V.
About: Hello! My name is Chelsey, and I live in Lakewood, NY with my fiancé and dog. I have always had a deep compassion and love for animals. I grew up with them and was taught that they are apart of the family. Working with animals has always been a passion of mine and I feel that I have a natural ability to relate to their needs. We have two dogs of our own, Bonnie a 7 year old rescued BerneDoodle and Luna a rescued 9 month old Poodle. 🐕🦺 Bonnie was rescued from a puppy mill so I have experience with trauma and quirks. I also have experience with giving oral medications. I take great care while I’m in your home. Toys, treats, etc, that are out while I’m there will be picked up and put back. 😊 If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I can’t wait to meet and spoil them like they are my own. 🐶🐾🐱 I am a Physical Education Teacher who wants to spend my summer taking care and loving your animals. I have more flexibility in the summertime, June-September. I am physically active, I will have no problem doing tasks that are physically demanding. I am loving, caring and will go above and beyond for you and your pets!
16. Leah T.
About: Taken care of all pets since a very young age. I've had multiple cats my whole life and a recently passed dog aswell as fish, rats, guinea pigs, and insects. Family and friends have asked for me to pet-sit and for a year I took care of 2 adorable puppies while their parents worked late to start their business. Currently working part-time with a very flexible schedule and have absolutely no problem calling off once or twice a week(I hate my job I wish I could care for animals full time) I spoil all of my pets and have no issue with treating your babies the same way! I maintain a clean environment with advanced nutrition and probably excessive play with my tabby cat!
17. Katja K.

Katja is not just a caregiver; she's an amazing human being who truly cares for every pet as if they were her own.”

I currently work 6 AM to 3 PM Thursday through Monday and half off Tuesdays and Wednesdays, Thursdays through Mondays I’m available after 330 Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I’m available all day. I do ask the owners on preferences about anything and everything whether that being a schedule for eating or walking or anything like that, but I would definitely take care of your baby like if it was my own!

20. Marilyn O.
About: I love taking care of dogs and cats. I grew up taking care of them. They bring happiness to any home. Dogs and cats are very therapeutic and cuddly. They bring smiles to everyone’s faces no matter what age! I love running around and playing with them. I’m very positively upbeat and active to keep up with their spontaneous energy. I enjoy running around with them and allowing them to discover new adventures of the outside world. I always felt that dogs and cats have feelings and emotions as well as humans and they should be treated kindly and with a bunch of love because they are always so very important to their human owners. They deserve happiness and to be in a fun loving environment! Pets and animals have a purpose in life. It’s time to fulfil that purpose!
