About: Since I was a little girl I have LOVED animals and cared for them. I worked at a vets office and was able to care for the animals within our office. I would love the animals as though they are my own! I currently am at home full time. I consistently need breaks and go for long walks and playtime with any animals in My Home. I make sure to have my dog go out in our yard frequently and at least one walk a day. I have a fenced yard and I make sure to go out with my dog and Play and let her do her business. I am more than happy to have dogs on the bed/ couch or in the crate if they need it!
About: I love animals, especially dogs, more than words can express! We have always had small dogs in our family since I was born. I could never imagine living without a dog in my household. In fact I have always had my miniature schnauzers as my fur babies since my early 20’s. I also use my endless dog walks as another form of exercise especially with the awesome beach roads all over the island that we are fortunate to enjoy living on the island. Since I never had children I have extremely spoiled animals. Me and my husband are retired and I work a very part time job so have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. My husband may also like to join in with my walks as well to help keep your pooch entertained and continue with our daily exercise regimen. If your pet does not do well on long walks please mention that so we don’t wear them out too much! I would like to walk your dog on the beach or beach access if allowed. If you would rather we stay on the neighborhood streets that’s fine too! My house/pet sitting service will include feeding, playing, walking, cleaning up pet waste in yard or litter box and light housekeeping such as vacuuming up pet fur if applicable. I have a very flexible schedule. I do work a few days a week part time but only 4-5 hr shifts at a time. I would love to be your pet’s next best friend! I am an extremely anal retentive pet owner and home owner. I probably take better care of my pets than my own self! We do not miss any yearly vet appointments and are very attentive to any ailments that may come along. I always say the worst part of being a pet owner is when they have to cross the rainbow bridge.
About: I am a passionate animal lover and have been for my entire life. I love all animals and have chosen to pursue a career as a zookeeper. I graduated from college with an Associates Degree in Zoo Science and Technology. After graduating I worked for Petco for almost 2 years. I am now currently working for Petsmart and have been for almost 2 and half years. So I have extensive knowledge and experience with both domestic and exotic animals. I have been my childhood neighbors dog sitter for the past 10 years and have been a petsitter for multiple other people including co-workers. I even have experience with small animals such as hamsters and reptiles. I treat all pets as if they are my own and would love the chance to care for yours! I am currently working part-time at Petsmart and work at least five days a week. I work mostly mornings so my afternoons are usually free! I cannot offer to watch your pet at my home, as I am renting; however, I am very comfortable visiting your home to care for your pet! I have previous experience watching pets within their homes and even have experience staying over night.
“Very responsive and super friendly! Suzanne saved us while on vacation to walk our dog while we were exploring the area. Our dog was very grateful for the break out of the house. Would definitely use her again when we come back.”

“Murphy LOVES Callie. She is efficient, reliable and knowledgeable. Most of all, you can tell she genuinely loves my pup. Callie is an important piece of my doggie daycare solution, and I couldn't be more grateful for her.”

About: I’ve dealt with almost every kind of animal you can imagine. They will be in good hands with me and I will treat them as my own. I work from home full time, so I can schedule around meetings and calls. Can also work with you to customize your pets needs and care. I can accommodate any request you make, within reason. I will make drop in visits and dog walks a breeze with your beloved pet or pets.
About: I've had big dogs since I was little. In the past 5 years, I've started helping my father train dogs to be service animals for veterans. I love all kinds of dogs, and I've dog sat for neighbors since I was 7 years old. I work part time in the afternoons. I'm completely available in the mornings and after I get off work. I am incredibly flexible with time. I can be available everyday if needed. Depending on your furry companion I am also flexible here too. Need your dog walked? I would love to. Special medication or routine? I can totally handle that. Anything your animal needs I can help.
About: Walks, runs and playtime fun! Here to help whether it's because your busy at work or leaving town. I have the flexibility to give your pets multiple bathroom breaks, walks, or what ever else is needed. Contact me even if you have questions! Plant watering and mail gathering for out of town trips included... Just let me know what your needs are and we can schedule times accordingly. Im available through out the day, 7 days a week. I prefer Havelock clients for in house sitter jobs. If you need a lot of check ins I would rather keep your fur baby at my house, to avoid charging more for gas. I care for pets in their homes based on the guidelines the owners set out. I will always check their food and water bowls, walk or play outside and bathroom break.
“Emma was very prompt and friendly. She met up with me and my pup before the initial walk. Emma sent updates and pictures and put my mind at ease while at work. Will be using her again!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life dogs, cats, and even a few surprise visitors in between! Whether it’s going on walks, giving belly rubs, or making sure they get fed on time, I truly enjoy caring for animals and making them feel safe and loved. I’m currently active duty military, so my schedule stays pretty consistent! I’m available most evenings during the week and open on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. If you need early morning care, feel free to message me I’ll do my best to work with your needs! I’m currently serving in the military, which means I’m super reliable, detail oriented, and organized. You can count on me to follow your pet’s routine, send updates, and treat them like my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I don’t take that lightly.
“Amazing. Bohdan really helped our family out as we had a family member (who was our pet caregiver) fall the day before we had to leave town. He went above and beyond in so many ways! Thank you Bohdan and family.”

About: I love animals, all types of them! I love taking the doggos out on a nice walk or even just playing with them. Giving the kitties a nice rub down as well playtime also! I am experienced with both animals and love both! I will always make sure your pet is always safe by never taking my eye off of them as well making sure they are comfortable, safe, and happy when I leave. It's my goal to make sure that your animal and yourself is satisfied and happy with what I have done. I have experience is cleaning litter boxes, feeding, dog walking, play time, cuddles, etc. I also have personal experience with grooming from grooming my own pets keeping the pet hair to a minimum. I am looking forward to help you and your lovely pets!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with dogs of all ages and breeds. Growing up surrounded by pets has taught me how to understand their unique needs, whether it’s providing gentle care for senior dogs or keeping up with the energy and training needs of puppies. I just graduated college so right now I have pretty open availability! I do work a part time job, but I use my time very wisely and I even have days off throughout the week! My work schedule looks different every week but the longest shift I’d work is 7 hrs. I’m available during both weekdays and weekends, except some Saturdays, to care for pets, including boarding. This flexible schedule lets me give animals the time, attention, and love they deserve every day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, needs, and schedule, whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, or quiet companionship. I also give regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away!

“Meggan has walked my dog a few times now! She's on time, my dog loves her, and she's respectful! She works with my ever changing schedule and doesn't mind accommodating. I highly recommend her!”

Looking to make some extra cash to spoil my baby girl 👶 My goal is to provide a safe environment for your fur babies while they are in my care! The care I provide will vary from pet to pet depending on their needs and preferences.

About: I've owned dogs all my life. Since growing up on a farm, I'm a huge animal lover! I have worked with dogs and cats at my previous jobs including Animal shelters and boarding kennels.
