And she takes awesome pictures to keep you updated! You absolutely cannot go wrong with Kaiden. Definetly using her services every time we leave town.”

“Jillian dropped in to take care of our three cats, including one senior cat who needs to have dailly meds. She was such a wonderful sitter, and not only spent quality time with our cats, but kept us updated and informed on what was going on with them. She is so great-we will definitely be booking with Jillian again! Thank you, Jillian!”

About: I live in a lovely gated community with a great street for dog walking. I would also be happy to walk your dog on the seawall or on the beach and will even send you pictures of your pup throughout the day! I love dogs of all sizes and will treat them as if they were my own. I am open to both hosting your dog and/or going to your home to walk, dog-sit or house sit. I am a very reliable and responsible person and will always treat your animals and home with the utmost respect. I hope that you would choose me to take care of your fur babies and look forward to spoiling them with snuggles and long walks on the beach. Even timid rescue dogs take to me, as I feel that animals can sense good energy. :)
About: I’ve had my dog for 13 years. She’s been with me since kindergarten and it has been my duty to walk, feed, and clean her for most of those years. As she gets older, her care routine has become more vigorous but I’d do anything for my old girl! I keep her on diets and do as much as I can to help her exercise while still living in an apartment. With my college class schedule, I’m am busy every weekday morning but have many breaks between classes. I have a lot of free time that I usually take up with studying or working out but I am looking to fill that time with quality pet time. With whatever the client demands or recommends, I fully intend to respect and follow each rule and take no liberties. I only walk pets with leashes to protect themselves and other animals.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who truly enjoys caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I grew up with a family dog, so caring for pets has always been part of my daily life. Throughout high school, I also worked at a boarding kennel where I gained hands-on experience caring for many different breeds, sizes, and personalities of dogs. During that time I helped with feeding schedules, cleaning, administering basic care, and making sure every dog got the attention and exercise they needed. Whether your dog needs walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, my goal is to make them feel comfortable and keep their routine as normal as possible. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I manage an Airbnb property and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, and plenty of attention. I provide attentive, personalized care whether pets are in my home or their own home. In both environments, I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Chad watched over our golden retriever for drop-in visits. He was right on time and spent time with her taking her on walks and playing ball. He always sent a picture of her at each visit. She loves Chad and we can’t wait to try boarding her with him next time.”

About: Hello Furry Friend Lovers! My name is Kristen and I have been a dog owner and canine caretaker since I could crawl.

Happy to stay in contact and send you pics of your furry friends while you're gone.
About: I’ve grown up with all types of dogs in my house and around me! I started caring for pets that aren’t mine at the ripe age of 13 and have never stopped! I’m looking forward to meeting and getting to know your fur friend! Pets are a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. As a part-time barista, my schedule is very flexible, which allows me to plan my day around their needs. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddles, I prioritize making sure each pet feels cared for, loved, and happy throughout the day. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly environment where your furry friend can feel safe and relaxed. I’ll make sure they have plenty of space to roam, comfortable spots to rest, and, of course, lots of attention and affection. If your pet has a special routine, I’ll follow it closely to help them feel right at home. In your home, I treat your space and your pet with the utmost care and respect. I stick to your established routines, from feeding schedules to walk times, and make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar surroundings. Whether at my place or yours, my priority is ensuring your pet feels loved and well cared for.

“Lindsey is very reliable. Lucky for us!! Our dog loved her visits and she kept in frequent communication. She even followed up to ensure we would be home before another visit was needed. We will definitely use her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats. Friends and family have used me to watch their pets while taking trips. Currently not a pet owner because I signed a lease with a pet restriction. I take daily walks after work so having a dog join me would be welcomed company. My job is flexible, and I'm available on weekends Pets are not allowed at my residence, but im willing to come to your house to take care of your pet while you are busy.
About: I was born into a house of three beautiful golden retrievers, and that's where my love for dogs began. I'm a medical student now, and I love to have other dogs over to play with my Great Pyrenees puppy, Tina. I have watched my friends' dogs for weeks at a time, and I always build a great bond with their pets. As a student, I don't have a typical 9-5 schedule; I prefer studying from home. If I have to go to campus, I am just a mile down the street. I have my own Great Pyrenees puppy, so I already have a daily routine of pet care that consists of walking, grooming, feeding, and playtime! I love to go for walks on The Strand and to the dog park. Any dogs visiting my home will always have the company of my puppy Tina!
