About: I grew up in a dog‑loving home and had the privilege of caring for several breeds over the years — first a Boxer, then a Siberian Husky, later a German Shepherd/Malamute mix, and eventually a Pomeranian. Being around such different personalities taught me how to understand dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Because of that experience, family, neighbors, and friends have always trusted me to check in on their pets, feed them, play with them, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I also accept rabbits and small pets for boarding. Owners must provide cage, food, and supplies. Because I work from home, I’m able to give your dog consistent attention and care all day long. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, or just keeping them company, I’m always close by. I also offer 24/7 boarding availability, ensuring your pet has a safe, supervised environment at all times. Your dog will have plenty of room to feel at home here. I live on an acre of land with a dog run and a peaceful neighborhood that’s ideal for daily walks. There’s even a small pond with geese right across the street, which many dogs find entertaining. Inside, the living room is designated as comfortable, pet‑friendly space where your dog can relax. I also provide a crate for dogs who prefer a cozy, enclosed sleeping area.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was four years old, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. Caring for them has never felt like a chore—it’s something I truly love. I’ve always had a special connection with dogs, and my friends and family joke that I’m a “dog whisperer” because dogs seem to gravitate toward me everywhere I go. Whether I’m on vacation or just out running errands, I can’t resist stopping to say hello to every dog I see. I’m also the kind of person who goes to a party and ends up spending most of my time playing with the dogs instead of socializing! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. My childhood dog recently passed away after 16 wonderful years, and during her senior years I gave her daily medication, made sure our walks were comfortable with plenty of breaks, and, most importantly, gave her all the love and care she deserved. I also have a senior Chihuahua-Poodle mix who needs daily medication and occasional help getting onto the couch or bed, so I’m very comfortable caring for older dogs and understanding their unique needs. I also have a younger dog that I raised and helped potty train, and I’ve taught her several fun tricks, giving me experience with puppies and basic training as well. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their personality, energy level, and routine to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel happy and every owner feel confident knowing their furry family member is in caring hands. Pet care has always been part of my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own, so every day includes feeding them, taking them on walks, giving one of my senior dogs his daily medication, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of love and attention. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, so caring for pets doesn’t feel like a task—it’s one of the best parts of my day. I make time in my schedule to ensure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow all feeding, walking, medication, and potty schedules, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and make sure they always have fresh water. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind.

“Stephanie takes great care of all of our pets, is quick to respond to questions/concerns about them, and was able to accommodate our booking on a day's notice due to a family emergency that required us to travel immediately. I highly recommend her!”

“Carrie was very happy with the care that Maria gave her. When I got back after a 10 day trip, Carri was in great spirits and eating well. This was a fantastic experience for me, especially receiving pictures of Carrie at the care visits. Thank Maria!”

“This was our first time having Daniel and we were very pleased hoe responsible he was, and how he remembered our directions regarding how to train Luigi on The Walk. We definitely will reach out to Daniel the next time we need coverage.”

“Great experience!! Marisa just finished several days of daily drop-ins for my three precious brother cats. They had the same sitter for almost nine years in TX, but we moved back to NY and did not have anyone here yet for nearly two years. I was so nervous about having a new sitter because our cats require so much TLC and laptime, and so one of us always stayed behind with them. I knew the moment I walked in from our trip, that the kitties were calm and happy. Marisa gave them so much TLC and kept me informed daily with photos and reports about how well they were adjusting. Marisa is truly an animal person, and I could see how they naturally took to her right away. She was thorough and confident with instructions and care, and she reassured me that they would be in good hands!!! Very true and very happy to share that!!”

“Highly recommend booking with Jenna! I’ve used Jenna for multiple drop-in visits for my cat while I've been away for vacations and over the holidays, and she is consistently 5-star excellent. Her reliability is unmatched; I know my cat is in fantastic hands when I book with Jenna. She is super responsive and sends great photos/updates every time, which gives me incredible peace of mind. I can genuinely tell that she cares about my pet’s well-being. She's not just checking a box; she spends quality time playing with her.

About: I am new to online pet care! I have had pets all my life and have pet sit family and friends fur babies for over 20 years! Last 5 years I have been pet sitting outside of family & friends pets. I am experienced in small-medium sized dogs mainly. I've never pet sit a cat before but i do have a cat of my own! Currently, the pets i have in the house are two dogs, 1 cat and 1 reptile. I work full time, 2 days out of the week I work from home. My hours are flexible so if changes are needed no worries! I do not work weekends. At my home: I have a fenced in yard. If your pet has special requirements i will follow those requirements without a problem. My home will be their home during their stay. My house isn’t set up like a boarding school. They will hang with us in the living room, follow us throughout the house if they want too. If you have special rules, I will follow them. I have two dogs, the dogs i pet-sit would have to be ok with dogs. I have a cat who mainly remains downstairs with my son. If your dog does not like cats that will not be a problem. Clients home: your house, your rules! i will follow the schedule you have for your pets!

About: I was raised around animals my entire life and was the primary care taker! I haven’t lived a day of my life that didn’t involve a pet. My family is big on dogs and every family member has one of their own. I’ve cared for senior dogs and dogs of all sizes. I’m passionate about dog care and consider going into an animal field career! I have experience with cats as well and truly love all animals and aim only for the best care to our furry friends. I work Monday-Thursday 7am-2pm but other than that I have open availability. I’m able to drive and am open to all services. My summer has a lot of availability as I am a student. My care includes my personal knowledge but I follow instructions given as the owner knows their furry friend best. I have always lived with animals and have been there for the ups and downs for each of them. Pets will be given proper care including potty breaks, regulated feeding, and proper engagement to make sure they get all their boxes checked. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and cater to their needs!

About: I have 20+ years of pet boarding, pet sitting, dog walking and now my whole family shares the love - and some of the responsibilities! I am experienced with dogs, cats, guinea pigs and other small creatures! I view all pets as family members. I live in NY and looking for a house sitting gig during my trip to Arizona during this spring break. My schedule is flexible - I am planning to take our four legged friends on lots of adventures outdoors. I work from home and my schedule is flexible so I spend most time with our furry clients.I can’t wait to go on a walk or play with my furry clients! We are happy to come to your home or board your pets in our home. We don't have a fenced in yard but we frequent the dog park and the park near-by. In my day job I regularly work with NYPD, the court system and other federal and state agencies - therefore I have a high level security clearance.

“Crystal was wonderful with drop-in visits for my two cats. She was great about communicating and the cats loved her. I came home to a full water and food bowl, clean litter box, and the trash was even taken out. I will use her again and 100% recommend her to other!”

“Maria was fantastic as always. Even though our plans changed, she was extremely flexible and accommodating. Our Angus LOVES his playtime with Maria!”
