About: We currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats. I've worked at the westfield animal shelter and have helped with new puppy feedings. I have had dogs most of my life and would love to watch yours. Me and my girlfriend work opposite days so someone is usually home. We work early in the day so most of the time the dogs are just sleeping. We have an extra crate if needed. We have a fenced in yard with 3 dogs of our own. There is a bathroom part of the yard that's fenced in and an area for play.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I've cared for all types of dogs from dachshunds to pitbulls; toy poodles to great danes. No dog is too excitable or too strong to handle. I am an active person and will make sure your dog gets lots of exercise. My husband and I like to make sure all pups end the day happy and tired. With a large yard on a quiet street, you pet will feel right at home here. I work from home every day aside from Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with a lenient job that I can walk away from when needed. I can take the dog out at any time of day, and have a long lunch break for walks, and plenty of time in the evening for play. I've sat many pets in their own home, and have been able to learn how they behave in their own environment and adapt accordingly. Respecting people's spaces is a top priority, and I always make sure to leave a home exactly as I found it. I have a large home with plenty of outdoor space at the end of a quiet cul da sac. The back yard is secluded and very safe. We do not keep food out, and we make sure no plants that can harm animals ever enter the home. The neighborhood is quiet and safe with very few cars. Most all other dogs in the area have interacted with dogs we have babysat, and are very friendly and well trained.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep dedication to providing personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention and patience. I excel at establishing a safe, nurturing environment that helps pets feel comfortable and loved in their owners' absence. Beyond standard pet care, I bring exceptional attention to detail, ensuring pets maintain their routines, whether it's administering medication, feeding on a precise schedule, or providing stimulating activities to keep them happy and healthy. What truly makes my services unique is that I view pet care as not just a job but an opportunity to serve the community. As a mother of two teenagers, I involve my children in learning how to responsibly care for animals under my guidance. This helps them understand the value of compassion, empathy, and giving back to others by treating pets with the same love and respect we would our own family members. Together, we aim to provide peace of mind to pet owners by treating their furry family members as our own. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. As someone who juggles multiple responsibilities, I prioritize creating a structured schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care to the pets I look after. Each day, I plan my tasks around the specific needs of the pets in my care, ensuring their feeding, walks, playtime, and any special requirements—like medication or grooming—are handled on time. My flexibility and time-management skills allow me to accommodate even last-minute requests, providing peace of mind to pet owners with busy lives. Incorporating pet care into my routine has also been an invaluable way to teach my children about responsibility and compassion. They often assist me with simple tasks under my supervision, giving them a sense of community involvement while allowing me to maintain a high standard of care for each pet. This integration of pet care into my daily life isn’t just a responsibility—it’s a passion that aligns perfectly with my desire to make a positive impact on both pets and their owners. Caring for pets in their own homes is a responsibility I take very seriously. I strive to provide a seamless experience that maintains the pet’s usual routine and ensures their comfort and safety in a familiar environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I begin by thoroughly understanding their specific needs, including feeding schedules, exercise preferences, playtime activities, and any medical or behavioral requirements. I ensure that every detail is followed precisely to keep pets happy and stress-free. During each visit, I prioritize interactive care, whether that’s engaging in their favorite games, taking them for walks, or simply providing companionship. For pets requiring additional attention, such as seniors or those with special needs, I bring patience and care to ensure they remain calm and comfortable. I also treat my clients’ homes with the utmost respect. I maintain a clean and organized space, follow any provided instructions, and ensure the home is secure when I leave. My goal is to not only care for the pets but also provide peace of mind to their owners, knowing their furry family members and home are in trusted hands.

About: I have had dogs my entire life, from one at a time to three or more. I don't always have my children so if your pup doesn't like kids we can work together.

I have experience walking dogs who also don't always listen well and will treat your dog just like they are my family. I have a senior dog wants to rest there is plenty of space to allow that and for your pup to have their space as well. We have five kids so they will give your pup plenty of exercise or leave them be if that’s more their thing. My schedule varies week to week and I do my best to keep may calendar up to date. I cannot complete stays in your home for longer than a few days. I am happy to follow whatever works best for your pet. I know that every animal especially depending on their size and age has different needs.

About: I love all dogs and will treat yours like they are part of the family. My experience ranges from puppies to seniors. I take every dogs needs serious and want to make sure they feel loved and safe. I work 9-5 M-F from home, with no other major obligations. I routinely exercise in the evening, and taking animals out for runs or walks is a great way to get those steps in. I can accommodate for your specific pet(s) in any environment. I can keep them leashed the whole time, let them loose in your fenced yard, bring them to a dog park, whatever is needed. I keep a keen eye on them and will happily send photos if you'd like.

About: I have had a love for animals since I was very little! I take the responsibility of caring for others very seriously and treat them as if they were my own! Let me take the worry and stress out of hiring a pet sitter by knowing you have someone reliable for you babies I just graduated with my bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and will be starting law school come August! I have open availability for the summer between 8-5 (sometimes a little later)! Caring for pets is more than just a job—it's a responsibility I take seriously. Whether I’m providing care in my own home or visiting yours, my approach is grounded in safety, trust, and creating a calm, pet-friendly environment. **In My Home:** * I maintain a clean, secure, and pet-proof environment. * Pets are never left unsupervised in unsafe areas, and I use closed doors to manage boundaries if needed. * All animals are introduced slowly and carefully to avoid stress or conflict, especially if there are other pets. * I follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, medication, and comfort items to help your pet feel at home. **In Clients' Homes:** * I respect your space and follow your routines as closely as possible to keep your pet comfortable. * I keep doors and gates secure at all times and double-check for any escape risks. * I provide regular updates, including photos/videos and messages, or phone/video calls so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. * I observe pets for any changes in behavior or health and will notify you immediately if anything seems off. In all settings, I use positive reinforcement techniques, handle animals with compassion, and maintain high standards of hygiene. My goal is always to build a trusting bond with both you and your pet, creating a safe and stress-free experience for everyone.

About: The majority of my experience comes from family pets. My understanding of pets go from feeding at a certain hour, to playtime/walks, and vet visits. Currently, I work a full-time job in fast food. I am here to slide myself into a side hustle that suites my passion for animals. I work Mondays, Wednes., Thurs., Friday, and Saturday! Thursdays and Fridays I work later in the day so mornings are open if asked. In my home, my pets are fed in the mornings/afternoons and evening/night. My cats have free rein over the entire house, with water always available. When they eat even if it’s cheap, I supplement their food with salmon oil and egg yolk. It’s about making those small efforts to better their lives.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 12 yrs old there’s nothing I love more than taking care of dogs and making sure there happy and need everything they deserve, I’ve taken care from puppy to senior dogs. Til this day I make time for animals I have 4 days off out of the week and I would love to help out those who need genuine care for there dogs I always make sure my dogs are on a leash, making sure there’s no wild animals out in the yard before I take them out, if I’m walking your dog and I see another dog coming I put myself to the side holding the dog close enough in where the other dog don’t get near us.

About: What sets me apart is my natural connection with animals. I’ve always been good with them and have a calm, patient approach that helps pets feel comfortable and safe. While I don’t have any formal training, I’m very responsible and genuinely love spending time with animals—whether it’s playing, walking, or just giving them attention and care. I treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits really well into my routine. I currently work part-time on Fridays through Sundays from 4–8 PM, but I’m completely free during the rest of the week and earlier in the day on weekends. I have plenty of time and flexibility to give pets the attention and care they need, whether it’s feeding, playing, or just spending quality time with them. While I’m not able to offer boarding at the moment because of my cat, I’m very respectful and careful when caring for pets in someone else’s home. I regularly go to my neighbor’s house to take care of her dogs, and I always make sure to follow her instructions closely. I treat her home with respect—sometimes I’ll even tidy up a bit if something needs it. I know how important trust is when someone’s leaving their pets in your care, and I always do my best to make both the pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident.

“Laurie is wonderful! Our dog just loves her. It’s a comfort to be able to go away and know that our dog is well taken care of.”
