About: Hi, I’m Tommy! While my legal name is Thomas, Everyone calls me Tommy. I’ve always been an animal lover and grew up with both dogs and cats, but my passion deepened when I adopted my rescue pup, Brownie, on December 8, 2018—his special “Gotcha Day.” Learning about the incredible selflessness of the rescue community and the heartbreaking number of pets in high-kill shelters inspired me to dedicate my life to making a difference for animals. This commitment led me to start my own dog-themed apparel business, Luv Pup, where a portion of profits goes to rescues saving dogs. Beyond my entrepreneurial mission, I’ve cared for a variety of pets, from iguanas (yes, I had two named Fifi and Disney!) to rats and, of course, dogs and cats.

About: Are you looking for a loving, reliable, and trustworthy human for your pet? Growing up in a family that bred Golden Retrievers, caring for dogs (and the occasional cat!) became second nature. Over the years, my passion for animals only grew, and I eventually started my own breeding business. Through these experiences, I developed a deep understanding of animals and learned the importance of gentle, attentive care. I moved from California to Maryland, where I’ve shifted my focus entirely to helping pet owners by providing exceptional care. I would be thrilled to look after your furry family member. Hi there! I’m Brooke, a devoted pet lover with a flexible work-from-home schedule, allowing me to cater to your pet’s every need, whether for a quick walk, a drop-in visit, or a overnight stay. I aim to create a safe, welcoming, and relaxed environment where your pet feels completely at ease and cared for, as if they were with family. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m here to make that experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Whether your dog loves exploring new parks, trotting around the neighborhood, or curling up for snuggles, I tailor every visit to suit their preferences and routine. During overnight stays, I bring a sense of home to our time together—your pet gets all the attention, love, and comfort they’re used to.t this time I would only be open to dog walking or drop ins. I am highly confident I can give your pet and yourself a relaxing fun experience with a stress free environment. I absolutely love walking, and enjoy hiking in my free time. My approach is built on compassion, attentiveness, and a love for getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I want you to feel confident and relaxed, knowing that your furry family member is in gentle, caring hands.

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: Most of my pet care experience comes from being a dog mom, but I am also the go-to person for my friends and family who need pet-sitting or emergency drop-in visits for walks or feeding times. I have experience with puppies under 1-year-old and elderly dogs - two things that require additional work and patience! I have also had and cared for cats - I love the stark difference in their personalities. Whether they like to be left alone or want to zoom and play - I am happy to oblige either way! My experience also extends to tortoise, chicken, and bird care! *My home has no room for hate & all are welcome!!!* I am available for early morning or evening walks and drop-ins during the week. I am available on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday unless I have a family or social event. However, I am always open to working around my schedule and offering as much flexibility as I can - just shoot me a message! My family and our dog Alfy will warmly welcome your pet into our dog-friendly home. We have a large back porch and yard with a fenced area for sniffing around. If your pet requires extra exercise, we have a quiet neighborhood to walk around in. We have a dog bed in almost every room, space for you to bring a crate, or an area that can be closed off overnight if necessary or requested. There are few places in the house that the dogs don't have access to out of an abundance of safety. Otherwise, they are welcome to make themselves at home! If I care for an animal in your home, I will let you and your pet take the lead!

About: I was a dog owner for 11 years of a Shih Tzu and a Beagle Boston Terrier mix, and loved every second. While in High School I consistently watched my neighbor's dog while he was away, giving lots of attention and love to his Jack Russell Terrier. I'm currently available most days of the week, and have my own vehicle, so I am able to come watch your pet on short notice. My two dogs recently passed, and I'm looking for something to fill that hole where they used to be in my life. I would be honored to care for your furry best friends while you're away. With drop-in visits I care for dogs by offering lots of pets and playtime, along with feeding, watering, and taking outside. I make sure to let them know they can trust me first before getting down to play with them, ensuring both of our safety.

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.

I’ve participated in dog fundraisers and 5k to raise money for shelters. I feel it’s important that dogs are treated like family but should listen well. We’ve taken our dogs on vacation and rides. I will be sure to give your pet one on one attention while I am attending at your home. I will send pics and updates while visiting along with treats if you prefer for me to do so.
