About: I have several years experience caring for dogs of all sizes, as well as small animals and exotics. Worked for a couple years at a dog daycare/ boarding facility. I foster dogs with medical and behavioral issues so I’ve seen it all. (Currently taking a break from fostering so I have room to board dogs) I’m home full time right now! I may go out for a couple hours for dog walking, but other than that someone is always here. We have a spare room if they need their own space. We have lots of experience fostering and crate/ rotate. We always make sure to spend equal quality time with each dog. If I am caring for your pets at your home I will spend the night there with them.

About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid and have always had a very large role in taking care of them. I love animals of every kind, and always have so much fun taking care of them. I’ve watched my family and friend’s animals many times, and always make sure to send lots of updates on how they are doing, as well as providing the best care! I have worked at a vet hospital as a receptionist, and in that role have had a lot of hands on experience with animals. It taught me how to work with every animal, and was one of my favorite jobs. I’m currently working as a substitute teacher, and am usually able to make my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility for all of your pets needs! I always make sure to read all care instructions through so that I can understand them so that your pet is getting the best care possible. I also am someone who will always take a gentle approach with your pet, creating trust between us. That trusting relationship is very important for all situations. I will always respect your space, making sure to leave it exactly how I found it!

About: Aside from my 3 personal pets, I have raised 4 Seeing Eye dogs and pet sat for over a dozen families. I have experience in dog first aid, potty training, and reactive dogs. Socialization is important and I have the knowledge on how to do so safely for each individual dog. All breeds of dogs are welcome. I work from home and am available 24/7. I love being able to take the dogs on either long walks or a quick potty break. I have a fenced in yard and a crate available for any size dog. I am aware of dog safe foods and carry Benadryl and hydrogen peroxide for emergencies.

About: Growing up, I've had a couple of dogs. Our first was a mix (part husky, terrier, etc.) named O'Doolie who lived to be 16! I was young when we had her, so I don't remember her puppy years. Our other dog we had since I was in elementary school up to my early 20s was Dixie Lee. She was a Miniature Schnauzer and was the sweetest dog ever! I enjoyed bathing her, brushing her teeth, and giving her so much love and attention. My husband and I work together as landscape designers! During the winter months, our schedule is very slow. This provides us more time to engage ourselves in other fun and creative endeavors! Currently, I have an unfenced backyard. I live with my husband in a small home. In the future, we’d love to put in a fence— we have just found we haven’t needed to just yet!

Our dog has special medical needs so we can’t trust just anyone with her care. Rachelle made us feel comfortable right away and our dog loved her. We will definitely be using her when I go back to work in the office.

About: I grew up on the farm and have over 40 years' experience and knowledge in caring for, training and loving all varieties of animals form the pet mouse to the horses and cows and everything in between. I am not a kennel. Your pet will be living like he's at home. I keep your normal routine such as feeding times, walks, playtimes and more. I don't book multiple dogs unless it's the same family or family friends dogs that know each other. We are a family-owned Electrical Contracting business, so I work from home and will be at your pet's beckon call for all their needs and I will love having their company and companionship. I am available days, nights weekends and holidays. My goal is for your pet and his family to be as stress free as possible, the best I can while you're away. I will keep your normal daily routine as if they were home, I am happy to do more if you desire, such as extra walks at the park, riding along in the car for errands, and more if you'd like. Medications, special needs are not a problem. Even with the more challenging ones.

About: Hello, my name is Alie and my #1 passion is animals! In search of my calling in life, I have found myself working for a pet grooming salon in my hometown, Milton, NY! I spend my days Tuesday-Saturday bathing and grooming neighborhood dogs then go home to love on my own German Shepard/Belgian Malinois mix and Tabby cat! My weekends are filled with time spent with my family (pets are family!) and my pet sitting clients. I have spent my whole life around dogs and cats, helping to fulfill all of their needs, and have been formally pet-sitting for the public since 2021. Since I was about 12 years old, I have gained experience caring for dogs for friends and family, providing basic care such as feeding and potty breaks. As I grew, my experience expanded to include transportation to and from the vet and groomer, feeding, oral medication administration, ear drops/ointment, eye drops, walking, and (the best part of course) playing! My experience also includes my feline friends, most often multi-cat homes, for regular feeding, oral medication administration, ear ointment, litter box cleaning, and, you guessed it, playing! I currently work at a grooming salon in Milton Tuesday-Saturday, so on those days I am available to love on your pets in the morning before I go to work and in the evening! On Sundays and Mondays, I can come for a visit during the mid-day hours. All of my clients are the highlight of my work-day, I look forward to every visit so you can trust me to be there when you need me! Your pets safety and comfort are of the utmost importance to me, I take any time necessary to ensure your pet's comfortable with me being inside their home, even if I exceed the typical 30m or 60m visit length! Working at a grooming salon, I have honed my skills with dog body language so I know when your pups are upset. My experience with cats has also taught me when the kitties aren't happy as well! Meet & Greets are a necessary part of the booking process to ensure everyone's safety over the course of a booking. All bookings that include a dog are required to have a one-time complimentary Meet & Greet prior to booking. Dogs are careful about the humans they trust, espcially with their parents gone, so I'd like to make friends with you present! Other bookings that only include cats are not required to have a Meet & Greet prior to booking but you are more than welcome to request one! Any additional Meet & Greets that are requested beyond the initial complimentary Meet & Greet will be booked at the drop-in rate listed on my profile. At the first visit, slow and quiet are the name of the game, I take my time going about their routine so they can get used to me! After my tasks are done, it's my goal to make them as comfy as possible by offering them their favorite toys and treats at their own pace. By the end of the booking, my aim is to be your pets new best friend and your go-to sitter!

About: Growing up, I often pet sit and house sit for friends and family, and since then, I’ve worked full time with dogs for over a year at a training and daycare facility. I have extensive experience with all sizes, temperaments, and breeds of cats and dogs. Whether it be a feral ex street cat, a pampered house cat, a fearful pup with a bite record, or an enthusiastic family dog, there’s no pet i won’t treat with the same respect and love as I do my own. I currently work part time and will be a full time student in the fall. I’m available at most times of day although that can vary. I can also be available as early or as late as needed. My goal is always to make pet care the least stressful and most fulfilling I can for both the animal and myself. I have a lot of experience with all sorts of pets so I can easily tailor your pets experience based on their personality and needs.

About: I have been passionate about caring for animals since childhood, with a lifelong commitment to helping pets and stray animals thrive in safe, loving environments. My goal is to ensure the health, happiness, and safety of every animal I encounter, treating them with the same love and care as if they were my own. With years of personal experience, including caring for a senior dog who lived a full 15 years and now rests peacefully, as well as raising my adventurous 4-year-old cat and my energetic 2-year-old dog, I bring dedication and compassion to animal care. Whether providing hands-on assistance or finding homes for animals in need, I am always ready to go above and beyond to keep them out of harm’s way and surrounded by love. Animal care has always been a big part of my life. I grew up around animals, which eventually led me to work in a veterinary clinic where I gained hands-on experience with pet health, behavior, and daily care. I’m no longer employed at the clinic, but the knowledge and skills I gained there still guide the way I care for every pet I work with. My schedule is now fully open, which means I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Whether your companion needs walks, playtime, medication support, or simply a reliable and comforting presence, I’m committed to providing exceptional care. I treat every animal like my own and make sure you feel confident while you’re away by offering dependable communication and genuine love for your pet. If your pet has specific routines, quirks, or needs, I’m happy to accommodate. I’m excited to meet you and your furry family member! 🐾 I have a medium sized outdoor fenced in area that also is connected to an indoor area to get out of the heat. I also have a dog tie out that goes from the house down our hill.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for many years, both as a sitter for family and friends and as a devoted pet parent myself. Currently, I have 2 shelter cats and 1 German Shepherd that I raised from puppyhood. In the past, I’ve cared for a variety of pets including snakes, a gecko and even a tarantula so I’m comfortable with critters of all kinds! I bring patience, compassion, and reliability to every pet I look after. I also have some experience administering oral medication to cats and dogs and am willing to learn and assist with your pet’s needs. In addition, I can provide transportation to vet appointments as part of drop-in visit scheduling, making it easier to keep your pets healthy and cared for. Whether furry, scaly, feathered, or eight-legged, I’d love to provide attentive care when you need it most. I work 4 days a week, Monday - Thursday. I am available full-time Thursday after 5, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and for extended periods most holidays. During the week, I am available after 5 for drop-in visits. When caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe and stress-free environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel secure and comfortable. I keep living spaces clean, hazard-free, and stocked with fresh water, and I always supervise outdoor time to ensure safety. Trust is at the heart of my care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and communicate with pet parents, providing updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away. I ask that you let me know about any special needs or if your pets don’t get along with others so I can provide separate care to ensure everyone stays safe and happy.

About: 20 plus years experienced caretaker. I've rescued, fostered and adopted senior pets, pregnant mamas, puppies and the like. I have experience with walks, overnights, administering meds, wound care and of course snuggles. I work a pretty flexible part time schedule of afternoon and early evening hours a few days a week that allows me to schedule visits as needed to accommodate your pets schedule. However I am instructed to do so by the owner. In my home, I have a fenced in yard, there is also a dog park in the community. I have animal crates if needed. Large and small depending upon what is needed. I also have a silly dog of my own at home as a companion.

About: My name is Candace, and I am a reliable and loving pet care provider with a background in Veterinary medicine. I have experience in handling and caring for animals of all sizes and species. I've spent the last 16 years building long lasting relationships with animals and their owners. Your pets happiness and care is my priority. I strive to provide care and love, so much that your pet won't even realize you're away! I grew up with dogs all my life but currently I have 2 dogs; one is a 6 year old Boston bulldog, and the other is a 3 year mix. I am usually always available for all your pets needs and on short notice. I am very comfortable with distributing any medication your pet may need, and I have experience in giving IV fluids and injections. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Pet sitting is my full time gig, so you will never have to worry about your pet not getting the attention that they deserve. My days consist of over night stays, and dog walking and your pets are my first priority! If house sitting I spend the whole night into the morning and if time/schedule allows a majority of the day with your pet. I do step out here and there for drop in visits/ walks with other clients. I strive for a cage free, loving, accepting environment, and try my hardest to never go more than 4 hours without stopping to check in and give some extra loving! I strive to keep your pet alone for as little time as possible. (Please continue reading below for rates, reviews, and about my typical days with your pet.)
