About: I helped open a doggy daycare in Boston, MA! I have worked in the industry since 2020 primarily as an operations manager and an attendant! Working with dogs is amazing and I love it so much! I have experience with overnights, daycare, drop in’s and walks! Fairly strong so bring on the biggest and largest dogs! I work in a college setting so summer time I’m usually completely free! I build my schedule around you! My schedule will always be updated on my profile! What ever you are looking for! I have experience with all different types of dogs and understand each one have different needs! If they are more energetic or just want to snuggle it’s fine with me!

I felt so comfortable with Jessica the moment I saw her. My three cats took to her quickly. There was one day when it stormed, lots of thunder, and she offered to go back to check on them for free. Highly recommend Jessica!

Milena was attentive and communicative in taking care of our two cats! She is an animal lover and our boys were happy and healthy due to her home visits. We got lots of pictures and peace of mind knowing they were well looked after.

I figured I should write an updated review since Isela has watched our cat Huey over 10 times now (twice for a week or more), and I only reviewed after the first visit. She is very reliable, trustworthy, and respectful. She's a big animal lover, and Huey seems to miss her when we come back!

About: Dog loving photographer mama, I’ll treat your dog like my own! We only have one dog almost two year old black Shepherd Retriever, we go on early morning walks off leash, car ride to our local dog park with our frequent coffee shop drop in visit. I’ve trained all ages of dogs, and have dealt with all different type of behavioral dogs. Our dog get along with all dogs, and he’ll adjusted his behavior to adapt to them. We start our mornings at 5:30am with a long walk down our country roads down hill then back up the steep hill, helps my pup burn his energy. Then around noon, we’ll go for another walk and play frisbee or catch in our yard. We’ll also go for a car ride to our local dog park, and he’ll play there for about 15/20 mins. Then around 5pm, we’ll play in the yard till husband gets home. We have a large yard unfenced for our pup to ran and play fetch. I have one friendly pup, we loves playing with all types of dogs. We also have a large crate, we leave open for our dog to lay in but able to easily crate your dog if needed. Our dog is housed trained but he finds his crate comforting when we’re not home so we leave crate door open.

About: I grew up with my childhood dog, who was a chocolate lab. I loved to bring him to the beach, play fetch with him, as well as feed him and care for him as he grew up. I am a student athlete at the Mount St. Mary’s University. I am mostly available on the weekends right now because of classes, practices, and conditionings throughout the weekdays. At my house back at home, our dog was very well trained, we had a fenced yard but he also enjoyed hanging out in the front yard .

About: I’ve dealt with dogs of my own of all sizes and breeds, as well as other animals such as chickens, goats, turkeys, and cats. I bond well with dogs and enjoy they’re company. I work full time and my usual days off are Tuesday and Saturday. I am usually off by 3 pm every day if not earlier. I have 2 dogs of my own but I don’t feel comfortable bringing outside dogs in with them on a regular basis, however I feel very comfortable watching/ playing with your pets in your home

About: I have grown up with animals since I was a baby. I have had three dogs and two cats, and they have always been the joy of my life. Even from the age of 7, my job in the house was to take care of the pets. Walking the dogs, scooping the litter, feeding/hydrating them, etc. I was always in charge of my pets growing up because I love animals so much. I also have experience in dog sitting as well, as in high school I would do it as my job from Freshman year to Senior year. Overall, I have essentially grown up caring for animals, and as I am across the country from my pets at my parents house (in Maryland) I would love to provide that nurturing and love for someone else’s pets! I am working part time at the moment, and am in school, however my schedule is extremely flexible! I do not have many classes in college, as I am only finishing a few credits, and my job has cut my hours. Therefore, I am extremely available to provide services for your pet! Growing up with dogs and cats, I am extremely aware of how to take care of and nurture pets. In regards to taking care of your dog, I will foremost ensure that I provide them love and attention, making sure I play with them and give them the affection they need. In terms of walking them, I am easily able to keep up with them, as I am an athlete (and I also grew up bigger dogs, which is why I am very good with walking them). Along with that, I have a lot of energy and stamina, and will make sure they get a proper walk, and proper playtime. When it comes to their potty, I always make sure they get a proper walk in order to let that out, and along with that I always have bags to clean and dispose of it properly. I am extremely good at reading the body language of animals as well (as I grew up with dogs) therefore, I have an understanding of what they are feeling in a certain moment. I am the person at the gathering that sits in the corner with the dog, making sure they are not thirsty, anxious, scared, etc. Overall, I would say that I have a deep awareness for dogs. In terms of cats, I also have a very thorough understanding of them as well. I approach them differently than I do dogs. When it comes to kitty litter, my duty growing up was to clean it out. That allows me to know how and when to efficiently clean and switch it. I also understand that cats are very selective, so I would be extremely aware of their emotional/social attitude, and would allow them to approach me if they would wish to. In terms of playing with them, I know that they prefer certain toys and gadgets (and I would be more than happy to bring those with me when caring for someone’s cat). I also know the proper amount of food to provide a cat, and how much is good to feed a cat in terms of their size. I grew up with a very large cat, as well as a smaller cat, so I have an awareness of that. Overall, I would say that I am very cognizant of animals needs and, most importantly, I would be there to provide them a level of love that I wish I could provide for my childhood pets back home in Maryland.

About: Hello my name is Chelsea. I am a surgical veterinary technician at a busy animal hospital and online college student studying to become a registered veterinary technician. I live in Fairfield PA with my boyfriend and pack of rescue animals. This includes a blind kitty named Hank, a little orange tabby cat named Phoebe, a pitbull mix named Harper, and a foxhound named Roger. I have a passion for helping pets in need and so they have all come to live with me through different but unfortunate circumstances. Work, volunteering at rescue, and caring for my own animals has made me comfortable giving medications, feeding animals, and bathing animals with various medical needs. Please reach out to me with any questions. I work full time Monday to Thursday, 10+ hour shifts but am typically free Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as well as most national holidays (unless I am on call for work). Due to my very small house and other animals I cannot provide in home pet sitting or boarding at this time. I can however come to you if you live relatively close by. I can provide walks, play time, feeding/watering, etc in a clients home instead.

Elizabeth met me before my trip to get to know my house and cats. She really looked out for my cats and texted me every day so I wasn’t worried. It was a great experience!
