About: Reliable and caring pet sitter with strong attention to detail, excellent communication, and a passion for keeping pets safe, happy, and well-cared for. With years of experience. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home and maintain a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I can easily adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs. This allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. In my home, I provide a safe, spacious, and welcoming environment. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it with multiple daily walks and trips to the dog park twice a day for exercise and socialization. I also have two children and a friendly dog, so your pet will have plenty of companionship and feel right at home. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care—so they stay comfortable in their familiar environment.

Rebecca, did an outstanding job! She stopped by the house the day before to see if the dogs and her would get along, and they loved her. The next few days she came by and walked them while I was at work and sent pics of the pups on the walks. I will definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter. James

Darsy has been great. She shows up on time and has been working to gain the trust of our obstinate rat terrier and made progress today to get her out on a walk. As for our puppy, Bella, Darcy has been great with walking her and making sure she gets some water after the walk and playing with her. She’s also been great about working around our schedule. I highly recommend her.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for 19+ years! From dog walking to house sitting (cats included)❤️ Neighbors, family, and friends - I’m the one they call 😊 I’ve cared for puppies all the way up to senior dogs. I have even helped a mama cat give birth and cared for her kittens! I have also volunteered at The Humane Society and a Blind Cat Rescue 🥰 I’m currently a stay-at-home wife with a Dalmation and two indoor cats of my own. I don’t have a strict schedule so I’m open every day of the week. :) I treat my pets like my children so I most certainly will treat your pets the same! My pets are all fully vaccinated and flea and tick treated.

About: Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From energetic puppies to senior pets who just want a calm companion, I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs. For the past 7 years, I’ve worked as a professional animal trainer with marine mammals—so patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are at the core of everything I do. I bring that same thoughtful, reward-based approach to working with dogs and other pets. I currently have a small Pomeranian mix of my own, so I understand just how important it is to trust someone with your four-legged family member. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities—and I’ll care for them just like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my routine alongside my 9–5 schedule. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the week, and I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for more flexible care. I’m careful to only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and comfort level, whether in my home or yours. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and preferred routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm, safe environment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and work to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, stress-free, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi, I’m Jennifer! Animals have always been at the center of my life. I grew up in rural Pennsylvania surrounded by the Amish community, where caring for animals, from cows and goats to dogs and cats, was simply part of daily life. That early experience shaped my respect for animals of all kinds and gave me a lifelong passion for their care. Today, I’m proud to be both a certified yoga instructor and a devoted pet mom to three wonderful dogs and several cats. I bring the same patience, energy, and mindfulness from my yoga practice into how I care for animals. Over the past 20 years, I’ve gained extensive experience with dogs and cats of all ages, but I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and cats. From gentle walks to providing comfort and administering medications, I understand the extra attention and compassion they need in their golden years. Whether your pet needs an energetic play session, a calming stroll, or specialized senior care, I adapt to their unique personality and routines. I am flexible, reliable, and committed to making your life easier while giving your pet the very best care. You can relax knowing your four-legged family member is in good hands. I treat every pet like my own, because I know how much trust it takes to leave your fur-baby in someone else’s care. Walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, litter box cleaning, or simply keeping them company, I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. No task is too big or too small.

About: Hi! I have always been surrounded with all kinds of pets, ever since I can remember. I was always the one to take on more responsibility than my siblings for our family pets, and started sitting when I was 16! From feeding and walking, to administering medication and bathing.. I can do it all and take care of your pets as if they were my own! I work regular office hours, with an hour lunch in the middle of the day which I can use to come care for your furry babies! I am excited to give your pets the best care in the space that is the most comfortable for them! They get to stay at home or walked around the neighborhood, meaning less stress for your little pal

About: I have been around animals my whole life and currently have one dog, three cats (one senior with chronic illnesses/daily meds), four hermit crabs, one ball python, and 10 quail. In the past, I have cared for fish, snails, horses, rabbits, ferrets, a tarantula, and a variety of birds. I am open to watching animals of all kinds! I am able to provide drop in care any time on the weekends and morning/lunchtime/evening during the work week. I am also able to provide dog boarding in my home. I work Monday-Friday but my office is in the same neighborhood as my house - and is pet friendly! For drop in care, my goal is to provide care that keeps to the pets' regular schedule as much as possible in order to ensure they feel safe and cared for. I am able to medicate cats and dogs. For in home care, I am able to accommodate up to 2 dogs from the same household. I have a large, pet friendly house and fenced back yard. All boarding dogs must be cat friendly and good with other dogs.
