“In 30 years, Rachel really was the most wonderful sitter for my parrot, Pooka, that I've ever had. She went above-and-beyond to make sure that Pooka had gobs of attention each day she came- she did yoga with him, sang for him, and talked to him like he was a real "person". She spent so much quality time with him, I told her that he would be put out when I finally showed back up, lol! I would leave him with Rachel again anytime, anywhere, with total trust. You should trust your pet with her, too- you won't regret it!”

About: Hi! I’m Deirdre, a lifelong animal lover and dependable pet sitter with a passion for making furry friends feel safe, happy, and loved while their humans are away. Whether your pup needs a playful walk or cuddle buddy, I’m here to help with care you can trust. For a majority of my life I have been caring for dogs, cats, and other pets such as birds, hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs. I have dealt with breeds of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. From high-energy puppies to senior pets needing a little extra TLC, I treat and love them all as if they’re my own. What You Can Expect: ✅ Daily photo & video updates ✅ Lots of love, belly rubs, & playtime ✅ Clean-up & feeding routines followed exactly ✅ Calm, confident handling in any situation ✅ Flexible scheduling and open communication Special Skills: 🦴 Medication administration (oral/topical) 🐶 Basic training reinforcement 🐾 Experience with anxious pets 🧼 Light grooming (brushing, paw cleaning) Why I Do This: Pets are family. I completely understand the stress of leaving your fur baby behind; wondering will they be okay, are they eating properly, are they happy, etc.—and my goal is to make it a smooth, joyful experience for both of you. Whether it’s a weekend trip or regular walks while you’re at work, you can count on me for dependable, attentive care every time. Let’s Connect! I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can help. Feel free to message me with any questions or to set up a meet-and-greet! I look forward to new friends becoming family I’m currently working from home full-time so I’ll have plenty of time to devote to your pup whether it’s just to hang out during the day to help pass their time or for overnight boarding. I have access to a gated dog park and a friendly fur baby of my own who would love to have company. They would be free to roam around my home and would be taken for a walk every 2-3 hours. If need be, I do have a crate available as well if they prefer it for comfort. I have a dog in the home named Harlei who is dog-friendly. She is up to date on all her shots and is healthy. To maintain a healthy environment for everyone, I ask that your dog be up to date on shots as well.
“Did everything I needed done. One thing I wish I knew while on my trip was that he loss hair on his head while I was gone but not docking for it. Probably didnt notice. Overall wonderful job taking care of my Pablo.”
“Sam was great at coming to my house 3x a day to take care of my dog and fish. My dog Xena looked so happy in the pics she sent. Next time I need to travel I’ll definitely be reaching out to Sam again!”
About: I've owned dogs for the past 35 years and absolutely love them! I currently have one of my own who spends time at my daughter's house. Winston loves meeting new friends and coming over to visit. If you decide to board with us, please note they'll want to check you out first. I just recently retired and would love to help people and their fur babies out by being there for them. I know it can be difficult to find someone to watch the dog when you need to leave town so that's why I'm on here. I enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them because it's important that they release some energy and don't stay inside all day. Hope to hear from you and your fur baby real soon. Can't wait to meet you! I am currently retired so I am home mostly all day unless I have an appointment. With me being home, I can make sure they get the love and attention they need! I have a fenced in yard where they can run and play freely. They are allowed on the furniture if it's OK with the owner. I treat them like they are my own and follow their daily routines.
About: Cared for the pets of friends and family as well as my own 4 dogs for the past 6 and a half years. Would love to care for your pets as well! I have a flexible schedule so drop-in visits and dog walks can be scheduled throughout the week and I have even more flexibility on nights and weekends. I will follow all instructions for drop-in visits and dog walks. Just let me know your pet’s routines and I will be sure to take care of pets require medication/ special food etc.
“Wish I could rate higher than 5. I have two very difficult dogs. One is really hyper and the other is scared of everyone, both big dogs. My skittish one called down around her within minutes, it was bizarre, I've never seen him take to someone so fast in the 8 years we've had him. Most of my friends and family don't like our dogs because they're so much to handle, but Sarah was so good with them. I could not be happier.”
