Angela was totally amazing. This was my first time trusting anyone other than family with my babies and Angela made it so easy. She communicated with me daily sending pictures and updates and my dogs loved her. I will definitely be asking her to come again in the future.

My Chihuahua absolutely loved Helen. She was incredibly kind, punctual, and loved animals. I felt super comfortable leaving Itachi and knowing my pup was in such caring hands. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and loving walker!

About: I've had dogs on and off since I was 12 years old. I helped my parents take care of their yellow lab and saint Bernard whenever they were away and they are now sweet old ladies. On occasion I've helped my friends with pet sitting by cleaning and taking care of their three dogs.I've also had cats my entire life and understand they need just as much attention as any pupper. I would say altogether I've had 5 years experience with dogs, due to having them on and off through the years and roughly 10 years consistently taking care of cats. I'm currently job hunting so I have a lot of availability. I would prefer to do drop ins and walks just to ensure I am home at the end of the day with my own family. I cannot board pets unfortunately due to our cats becoming stressed easily with any changes in our home. although I can do drop ins and walks :) I will treat your home with respect as I would my own. My only goal is to make sure the fur babies are fed and taken care as I would my own

About: I've loved caring for pets for family and friends over the years. Moved away from home so looking to keep that same experience around here. I'm generally off on Sundays and Mondays for work, and live close enough for potty breaks and I make my own schedule if enough notice is given. I have a fenced in yard which has been home to dogs the size of a Great Pyrenees down to a Yorkshire Terrier before. The home is large enough for multiple pets to have their space.

I’m so appreciative of Lillian’s help and communication!!!! My dogs have really warmed up to her and I don’t worry about them when I’m at work anymore :) she shows up daily when she says she will and lets me know how my pups are doing. Will definitely continue utilizing her service and recommending her to my friends.

About: I have been house sitting/pet sitting since I was 14 years old. I am very reliable and have a flexible working schedule aside from Rover. Pet sitting from me will encourage your animals to still feel loved when you can't be there and decrease their loneliness when you are away. I will make sure your animals are in the absolute best care :) I currently work part time and am blessed to make my own schedule. I am available most weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. Saturdays I am unavailable for the entire day but can still check in with your pets in the morning and evening! I also make my schedule for my other job two weeks in advance and can work around your schedule to the best of my ability. I currently have my own dog and two cats and would love your animals (almost) as much as mine. I understand some pets may have special needs and I am willing to offer this as well as understanding some animals need more love than others and that is no problem. I can feed, water, walk, play, administer medication, love on your animals, etc.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. I have helped take care of my friends and family’s pets for years. Now that I’m an empty nester I thought taking care of your fur babies would be a great way to fill my new found extra time and make some extra $ to help my college kids. I am self employed and have a flexible schedule, so that I am able to make sure your fur babies are properly taken care of. I will walk, feed, and play with your fur babies as per your request to make sure they feel safe and loved in your absence.

Cate did a great job helping take care of my pup while I was out of town. She was on time for my dogs walks, and I always got pics and a written description of what happened on the walk which was very reassuring. I will definitely continue using Cate for dog walking!

About: I've always been a dog person, I have four dogs of my own. I've been walking dogs and pet sitting for years, I will take care of them like they're my own. They will be taken care of, fed, played with, and shown affection. My schedule is extremely flexible, I have class two days throughout the week in the morning. My weekends ans rest of the week is completely but open. I will always put your dogs first. I am energetic and will keep your dog busy. I've cared for all sizes, breeds, and ages. I can help train puppies. I can walk and pet sit more than one dog at a time, if you have multiple dogs I can still excell in the job. I’m currently a doctorate student while also owning my own company, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time throughout the day to give your dog the attention, playtime, and care they deserve. I’m available for boarding both during the week and on weekends. I also offer drop-in visits on weekends and occasionally during the week, depending on my schedule. I prioritize making sure each pet feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise. I also have three friendly and playful dogs who are well-socialized. However, I understand that every dog is different, so I can easily separate dogs when needed while still providing them with space, attention, and access to the yard. I ensure a clean, safe, and supervised environment at all times so you can have peace of mind.

About: I’ve pet sat for family members but I’ve also and still currently pet sit for previous teachers. I’ve done an internship at a vet clinic. I completed boces which made me a certified veterinary assistant. I worked at the SPCA while finishing up college. Volunteered at Tanglewood Nature Center. Depending on my work schedule I spend as much time as possible outside of work with your pets. I don’t leave them alone for long at all. I’m easy going, my dog gets crated when I’m not home. I will make sure nothing is sitting out that could potentially harm an animal
