I was very nervous with how the girls would do. I knew boots would be perfectly fine, he’s older. The girls took right to him. The girls were outside of their cages enjoying a mini vacay away from us. Fed, watered, outside and lots of petting. Thank you for keeping my mind at ease with the dogs.

About: Hello! my names Stephanie and I am 27 years old. I currently live in Parish, NY with my husband and my 2 cats Gregory and Arthur along with my 2 Golden Retrievers named Sophie & Tucker! All my cats are rescues. I’ve always loved animals ever since I was young. If I could save every animal that needed a home I would. I’m a current nursing student doing online school so I am home, They will have someone to play with as the pups love playing catch and going on walks all the time. I have a huge back yard and swimming available if your babies love to swim. The dogs love to play with new friends! They are never left home alone so your babies would never be alone and be accompanied at all times.

About: I’ve always gotten along with animals. I’m very family friendly and love to make bonds with dogs as they truly are a humans best friend! I have been relied on to take dogs on walks since I was 12 years old. I’ve been living with pets in my home since the day I was born! I have also been cat sitting and doing check ins on friends and family-friends animals whenever needed! I currently work full time, making me available at different hours of the day. I work either 6am-2:30pm or 2:30pm-11pm. Please let me know how I can assist you and if your schedule is flexible! I live in a very safe neighborhood and on a long road if you so chose to drop your dog off at my house, we would take a nice walk/jog on this road and be able to interact with other friendly neighbors who are also taking a walk. In the process of becoming pet CPR/First-Aid certified.

Mark was great with our 14 year old pup! We were quite nervous to leave her at this age, but Mark did a great job making sure she was comfortable, medicated, and loved. He was able to carry her home on a few walks when needed also. We will definitely use Mark again.

I offer to care for the pets so the adults can have a night out. animals of all ages, puppies-kittens to elderly animals. i love watching each pet grow and have fun. i learn a lot from them as they do from me. and depending on weather ill travel with them to a local park to walk or run around without them running off. i am currently in the military one weekend a month and two weeks in the summer but it never stopped me from my passion of helping out when i get the chance to. holidays i can work with. a certain holiday is very special to me. I cant wait to work with animals and love it every day make sure each pet goes outside and gets there paws and bodies moving so they don't get stiff. feed them according to a schedule/ routine. pills will be giving according to there owners care guide. bring them to the vets or emergency vets if giving permission to do so. let the pet come to me and let them get to know my sent before i rush into to pets. talk with the owners to know where there items are and what is expected of me while they are in my care. lots of love and cuddles are important along with rewards and letting the pet have there space to relax.

We had an excellent experience with Yelitza as dog sitter and would happily book with her again. From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, sending frequent updates and lots of photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. What impressed us most was how quickly our dogs warmed up to her during the meet and greet. One of our dogs is extremely shy and nervous around new people, so seeing Richard immediately comfortable with our sitter was remarkable and spoke volumes about her calm, caring demeanor. She also went above and beyond throughout the stay. Not only did she take wonderful care of our dogs, but she cleaned up after them without being asked and even brought in packages that arrived while we were away. Those thoughtful extra touches were such a pleasant surprise. We returned home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and felt completely confident that they were in great hands. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter.

About: I have been a devoted animal lover and pet owner for many years, and caring for both cats and dogs has always been a true passion of mine. I understand that pets are beloved family members, each with their own unique personalities, routines, and needs, and I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own. I am dependable, compassionate, and attentive to detail. Whether your pet is an energetic dog, a playful cat, a shy rescue, or a senior or special-needs companion, I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My experience with rescue animals and special-needs pets has taught me to be especially patient and observant, allowing me to quickly notice changes in behavior or health. Nothing makes me happier than earning an animal’s trust and ensuring they receive exceptional care while their family is away. My goal is to provide not only outstanding care for your pets, but also complete peace of mind for you. As a full-time high school teacher, I maintain a structured and dependable schedule, working from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM during the school year. This allows me to provide pet visits during the midday, if needed, and dedicated walks and care immediately after the school day. Caring for animals is an important part of my daily life. I share my home with two dogs, who enjoy their walks as soon as I return home, as well as my cats, who are part of my evening routine. This firsthand experience as a pet owner helps me understand the importance of consistency, exercise, affection, and attentive care. In addition to my availability during the school year, I have school vacations, holidays, and summers off, which provides greater flexibility to accommodate your schedule and your pets' needs. I am committed to providing reliable, compassionate, and professional care so you can feel confident that your pets are in excellent hands. I provide attentive, personalized care in your home so that your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their regular routines. I understand that consistency is important for reducing stress and helping pets feel secure while their families are away. During each visit, I ensure that your pets have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or potty areas, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. For dogs, this includes walks, outdoor breaks, and interactive play tailored to their energy level and needs. For cats, I provide feeding, litter box maintenance, enrichment, and quiet companionship on their terms. I am experienced in caring for rescue, senior, and special-needs pets, including administering oral medications when needed. I take the time to observe each pet’s behavior and overall well-being, and I will promptly communicate any concerns. I also respect your home and will keep feeding areas, litter boxes, and pet spaces clean and tidy. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving loving, professional care.

Jess was amazing! She sent us pictures of Griffy while we were away as well as text updates. She arrived early in the morning so that we could get on the road to travel to our daughter’s wedding. We cannot wait to book her again.

About: I’m experienced with dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens and ducks, horses and many other fur and feathered friends.

I work remote, so I can be available for visits with a flexible schedule or work from your place to ensure your animals get the attention they need.

I am 58 years old and have extra time to take care of your pet. I don’t work a full time job anymore so I am available mostly anytime I am needed If you need me to stay in your home to care for your pet, I am respectful of your house and everything within it. I own my house and know the anxiety of leaving someone you don’t know in your home wondering what your home will look like when you get back. Your home will look exactly the same as it did when you left. Possibly even clear than when you left.

Dino was wonderful with our dogs and communication with us. Having never had anyone stay overnight with our dogs, Dino helped put our mind at ease, updating us multiple times through the day with pictures and videos Our dogs had a blast and were very well taken care of. Dino was very polite, punctual and our dogs have a new friend. We will definitely look for Dino for any future visits!

Nicole is absolutely amazing!!! Took fantastic care of my Minnie girl, who had just come home from the hospital and been diagnosed with pancreatitis. My dog is active and Nicole kept her entertained all day while I was gone. I loved the picture updates. Nicole was a life saver and as a small business owner and a military spouse it can be difficult to find a doggy sitter. Our Minnie is our child and we our so grateful for Nicole, we will definitely be using her in the very near future. I highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies.
