About: I am a true animal lover. I’ve had dogs my whole life, but also lived with cats, medium dogs, even the largest dogs (I used to have a St. Bernard so I’ve seen it all.) I’m hoping to get some extra walkies in with new fur friends here and there. Or maybe check up on your fur baby while you’re at work or out of town. I treat all animals like my own and will respect them just like I do with my own sensitive girl. I have to give my dog her oral meds on a strict schedule every day and check her for side effects throughout the day, such as bruising, thirst, blood in the stool… I monitor her daily for all of this as well as giving her outside time every couple of hours to run, play ball or tug-of-war, and then end of day walkies. I definitely have her built into my every day routine. I plan my weeks around her appointments and pill times. My top most consideration is always what does my pet need and what do they expect of me for their unique day-to-day? Do they like to snuggle or do they want to run outside? I like to consider what the specific pet needs out of me and accommodate. My girl is very anxious and high energy so she needs lots of running time, but she also loves her night time cuddles before bed. I will care for pets the way they need me and that’s on their terms because they’re all different.

About: I’ve been dog-walking and pet sitting for several years now! I love spending time with dogs and am having to go for runs or the beach with them, or just relax at home! I’m a second year medical student, so happy to sit for pets in the evenings, as well as provide breaks during the day! I’m typically most open on the weekends but am open to weekdays as well. I will follow directions closely and respect your home like it is my home! I like to do frequent check-ins and am happy to do a meet and greet beforehand.

“Joanna was very communicative and was right on time! My dog really appreciated all her love”

“Once again, Catherine met our need for a last minute drop in visit with Stevie. Quick response and took great care of our girl!!! Will continue to make Catherine our first call!”

Patricia W.

“Jesika was a fantastic, caring, and communicative cat sitter! I really appreciated all of her updates, especially because my cat needs two daily medications. She even cleaned up a huge mess my cat made in between visits, not to mention she watered my plants because they were looking thirsty!! It was such a relief to have someone trustworthy and thoughtful looking after Rey while I was out of town for Thanksgiving. I highly recommend Jesika and look forward to booking with her again in the future!”

Rebecca B.

“Grateful for Rachael‘s availability! I was in a bind when my husband was out of town and I needed to go into the office. Rachel quickly agreed to come over to walk our Maizy girl. With the reunion the day before, Maizy recognized Rachael immediately, even though it had been three months!She greeted her with a happy smile and tail wags! Thanks again, Rachael for taking such good care of our girl!”

About: I love animals with my whole heart. I’ve had a sweet dog of my own for the past 10 years whom is truly my best friend. Other than my own, I’ve taken care of pets for friends & family for as long as I can remember. My relationship with animals on a whole is a special one for I respect them & am interested in what their behavior is trying to convey to us humans. I have previous volunteer experience at Antler Ridge Wildlife sanctuary in NJ, as well as previous experience in a VCA animal hospital as a tech assistant. I’m responsible, dependable, & very compassionate. I have a deep love for animals & aspire to one day have a nonprofit animal rescue. If your animal is with me, I will treat them with kindness. I know what it’s like to have to work long days away from our furry family members, personally it stresses me out. I would love to be able to ease that feeling of worry or guilt for you & be there to give your dog or cat some love! My schedule at the moment is a little all over the place. Typically every other week I have time off & can offer daily walks, & drop ins. Weekends I can typically do walks & drop ins as well. Mornings, afternoons, & evenings work when I have time off. I don’t have a fenced in yard & don’t plan to board your animals at my home. But when they are in my care at your home or on a walk I will make sure they are always safe. I’ll always check in with you before caring for your animal to see what sorts of situations may be stressful for them/ what their personal restrictions are. If anything ever seems off with your pet when I see them I will notify you immediately. Clear communication is key for safety!

“Jackiellen took great care of our kitty, Pepper for our first time leaving her since we adopted her. She was right on time with every drop in visit and gave us reassuring updates and photos. We could tell Pepper was well looked after. Will definitely book Jackie again!”

“Mae is so great with my large breed, high energy pup! She’s also responsive & flexible with scheduling. Highly recommend!”

Kelsey P.

“Heather was amazing with our two cats! She was able to give one her pill each morning without trouble. Plus they ate well for her and she sent lots of pictures and lovely notes! We would absolutely hire Heather again.”

About: I grew up with dogs, went to a school to study canine ethology and have a companion who is a high energy, blue heeler. I have always had a gift where animals respond well to me, treat animals with and have been known to like animals more than people. I own my own business so just send a request and we can make it just about any schedule work. Feel free to let me know what you need and we’ll make it work. An ACD owns me so we run often, but they are the type to respond well to positive reinforcement and leadership. Every dog is different, but most of the time patience and positivity wins out! #treats

“Madilyn was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and we were so happy. She was caring and attentive toward our pet, and we felt like we could relax on vacation knowing he was in capable hands.”

About: I'm a lifelong dog owner and have enjoyed the experience of teaching my daughters the joys and responsibilities of caring for our dogs. As lead parent, I've been passionate about opting for daily outdoor adventures with my daughters and dogs and have often heard, "Boy, you have your hands full!", to which I have always replied, "I need to keep everybody happy somehow." Romps on the beach or marsh, trail running, and biking or rollerblading the Eastern Trail are just a few of our favorites. Over the past few years, we've said goodbye to our beloved Boss and Kona. We're still craving dog energy around our home and outdoor adventures, and want to assist other families in the Scarborough community to achieve "a tired dog, a happy dog" experience that we've known and love. We feel blessed to have a doggy daycare buddy, Finnegan, with us most weekdays and he is dog friendly. I work from home while my daughters are in school and am off with them during the summer months. We are available to care for your dog throughout the day and evening, and love boarding dogs for overnights. Summer hours are very flexible for walks. During the school year we can walk your dog weekdays after 3:30PM; or as scheduled outside of those hours upon request. My Mondays and Fridays tend to be light on my primary work and I carve out time for doggy adventures and exercise. We can accommodate based on your needs and recommendations specific for your dog(s). Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavioral issues beforehand. If any medication needs to be administered, I'd be glad to assist.
