Savana was great with our pups, giving them all the attention they needed and then some! We didn’t have to worry. They were in their home and loved for 9 days and we appreciate all she did! Looking forward to next time! 💕

About: I've been caring for pets since I was a child, dog sitting and watching over other types of pets for my family since middle school. I am an approved veterinary assistant with over 5 years of professional experience. I am able to care for pets with medical issues and administer prescription medication when necessary. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, most small animals such as ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs, and most reptiles. I am a stay at home mom and am available during the weekdays for drop in visits, walks, and boarding. I'm available for overnight stays at your house mainly on weekends only, but I can board overnight on weekends and weekdays. I can board dogs and small animals in my house. I have crates and pens for crate trained dogs. If you need someone to stay in your home to watch your furbabies, I also offer that availability. I have two lovebug dogs that will make your dog feel at ease. We have a large yard that is unfenced.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for my family and friends in the past, and they have all been very pleased with me! I do not have a dog, but I know the essentials of taking care of them, and I will do everything and anything to make them happy :) I am currently not working, so I am available any time of day, including weekends, to make sure your fur babies are loved and cared for! As I mentioned, I do not have a dog, but my cat is well cared for, and I would do anything to ensure his health and safety, which would be my top priority for your fur babies as well!

My wife and I have used Rover and outside companies to watch our dogs but nobody compares the quality and attention the Beth gives. She goes above and beyond more then any other person we have ever used. Our dogs were in such great hands that there was nothing for us to worry about. If anybody is wondering if they should choose Beth it is a resounding yes! We will be asking Beth for all of our future needs.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets my entire life, and my family and friends look to me if they need me to dog sit (or pet sit) when they’re away or unavailable. I love animals, and so getting to take care of furry friends is an absolute treat!! I’m currently attending college, so monday and wednesday mornings im out of the house from 8-12. any other time, if given enough notice, i can be available for you and your pets! I live in a family home with my dog daisy, who is very friendly and about 14 years old now. She never fails to be entertained, and I love her with all my heart. I will do the same for your pets :)

Amazing job! This was my first time having a dog sitter and I was a bit nervous and unsure. The meet and greet was smooth, and kind of an information dump on the sitter. Durning the stay, plenty of updates and pictures. Upon return, my dog (who is high energy) was tired, calm and ready for bed. Which is perfect for me since I was too!

Madelyn took care of my 14-year old Siberian Husky, Kodiak, who has arthritis. She house-sat him while we were away on vacation for 12 days. She was wonderful with him, taking him on frequent short walks during the day. When we got home, we found a very neat house and a very happy (and tired!) dog. I would absolutely hire her again.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10! I have experience with all different breeds, I even have 5 dogs of my own! All breeds are welcome 🤗 I am currently a fully online student and I control my own schedule. My calender is open for whatever days you need! Please feel free to reach out with any questions! 😊 I will not be able to pet sit in my own home, since I have so many animals. However, I am more than happy to care for your pet in your own home, going on walks, bathing, etc.

About: I have been taking care of all types of animals since I could walk. I grew up near farms and ranches in Colorado, had Guinea pigs, dogs, cats, fish, frogs and many more species. I have taken care of 12 newborn Great Dane pups, large breeds and the smallest breeds. I am experienced with animal care, protocols, health issues, CPR and first aide for animals. In the past I have been challenged with aggressive animals and handled them with the best care, patience and understanding. Under any aggressive dog, is a scared puppy. All animals deserve respect and love. As a busy pet parent myself I understand how important it is to care for our pets, as they are apart of our families. I have a full time job and am off on the weekends. I am always available in the afternoons, over nights until I have to leave for work in the mornings, and can do frequent walks. Here we understand that our pets need attention, socialization, and love in order to thrive. I have two dogs of my own at home, a three y/o Great Dane names Eggo and a 2 year old basset hound named Maple. I care for your dogs like I care for mine. We understand that every dog and pet has a specific schedule and needs. We follow their schedules the best we can, we follow feedings, potty breaks and can administer meds if need be.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years, including walking, feeding, bathing, and providing daily care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have 3 dogs and a cat of my own! Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to keep their pets safe and comfortable while they are at work or away. As a nursing student, I am very attentive, patient, and detail-oriented. I am comfortable following specific routines, administering basic medications if needed, and caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs. Safety and consistency are always my top priority. I am available for recurring daytime walks, drop ins, or pet sitting in Orange and Rockland County, NY. Throughout the fall and Spring time I am enrolled in an evening Nursing program in Bergen County NJ, and can also make accommodations there! When caring for pets, safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, leash instructions, and any special care requests provided by the owner. I always ensure collars and harnesses are secure before walks and remain attentive at all times. As a nursing student, I am trained to stay calm, observant, and proactive in any situation. I provide photo updates after walks and communicate clearly so owners feel confident their pets are in safe care!

I highly recommend Brenda & Francis! Our dogs took to them right away! That says a lot because one of our dogs can be a bit temperamental when you first meet him, however, he was seemingly happy and comfortable! What a relief! Thank you Brenda & Francis!
