“Marie was wonderful! She responded quickly, allowed us to book her stay last minute and made leaving our fur babies easy and peaceful. She's kind and thoughtful, everyone loved her. I would totally recommend Marie and her family!”
“Candice took great care of my senior cat and dog. My cat needs insulin and an asthma inhaler, which Candice did a wonderful job administering. She sent photos and reached out with any questions. Everything went smoothly and my pets were well taken care of. So grateful I found her ☺️”

About: I have been called Dr. Dolittle my entire life. I have a knack for connecting with animals of all kinds. My very first job was working at a local farm with all different types of animals like horses, goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, etc. It was one of my favorite jobs, I got lucky! I also worked at a dog boarding facility which gave me experience working with multiple dogs at once. I always give animals the space to have their specific personality and the respect they deserve, as I would treat a human. Animals are often misunderstood, I’ve always tried to meet them where they stand. If there is one thing I am confident in, it’s making an animal feel safe and comfortable. And they do the same for me :) I would love to meet your faithful friend and see if they find me worthy of a tail wag or a belly pet! I currently work a very flexible part-time job. I have a lot of availability and can be very flexible. Working with animals is more than a job to me, I very much enjoy it. I will find ways to work with you and your pets personal needs. I love to schedule a meet-up before providing pet care. This is just to see that we are all on the same page and everyone feels it's a good fit. I do not offer home services. I will travel to your home so your pet can be where they are most comfortable. I work around you and your pets comfort. As a pet owner myself, I understand it can be hard to leave your companions in someone else’s care. I want to do what it takes to make you feel 100% safe and at ease when leaving your furbabies in my care.
About: I love finding lots of places to explore and run around. Love going for walks around the neighborhood would love to take your pup's with me. I enjoy animals and I would love to play with them outside. I have house sat before for friends and it's fun. I work full time but my schedule right now is very flexible and I have alot of time on my hands. I grew up with the sweetest cat and playing with neighbors dogs. I'd love to take care of some animals again. Thank you I'm currently working full time but I'm ready to start picking up some extra work. Taking care of your pet would be a fun change from my daily routine. Unfortunately I live in an apartment now so I'm unable to host any pets here. But I'm happy to come to your home to take care of your fur babies. I like going for long walks or hikes. Sometimes when they get some good exercise they feel better. It's important to me to make sure your pet feels comfortable with spending time with me. And at the end of the day it's a treat to see me not a chore for them.
“We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter Margaret! She took excellent care of my dog, Otto, and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well-loved while I was traveling. I really appreciated the regular updates with pictures and great communication—it gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, kind and caring pet sitter!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and currently have two dogs and a hedgehog of my own 💗 Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to help with walks, feeding, check-ins, and giving their pets attention when they need it. I have experience with different personalities from energetic pups to shy or older pets, and I always take the time to understand what makes each animal comfortable. I work part-time during the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care 🐾 I’m available Sundays and around my shifts for walks, feeding, check-ins, playtime, and overnight stays. I’m happy to keep pets active with walks and play or spend quiet time with pets who just want company 🤍 I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family 🐶🤍 I’m patient with nervous pets, comfortable caring for senior pets, and experienced with following specific routines. I can administer oral medications, ear drops, and eye drops when needed, and I always make sure owners’ instructions are followed carefully.
“Thank you Jeffrey for taking such good care of all of our fur baby, especially our 15 year old, Fred. It was so comforting to know that someone as capable and loving was here to attend to their needs. We won’t hesitate to call u again!!”

“Marcella's Mom, Ivana, took care of our dog Beau for a week while we were away. She is great. She's personable, responsible and proactive. She asked for instructions before hand, followed them and took very good care of Beau. She sent daily updates with pictures too. We will definitely ask if she is available if we need a dog sitter again.”

“Jason was great with our animals. He sent some photos and kept in touch letting us know how everything was going and how sweet our pets were for him. We hope to be able to book him again in the future.”

“Maria is dependable and reliable. Answered all my worried questions! She has a calming presence which is just what my very anxious 90lbs Great Pyr needed! I would definitely recommend her!!!”


About: Ive had multiple pets as long as ive been alive both cats and dogs! In high school I volunteered with a small dog adoption center in New Hampshire called Mary's dogs, where I worked with older dogs and puppy's in need of homes. I also took and animal science class in my Junior year and was dog CPR certified. I know basic animal first aid as well. Overall I absolutely adore animals of any kind and am willing to work with any pets! This is currently my only job, so I am available almost any time to spend time with and take care of your fuzzy family members. My preferred bookings is after 10am but I absolutely can make exceptions! I currently live with 2 dogs, a Labrador retriever and a Golden retriever, as well as 2 cats. I feed them all twice daily as well as keep multiple sources of water available around the house. I will be flexible and feed your animals with whatever schedule you give me!

“Rich is very responsible, he took care of Shiraz in our home while we were away. He spent lots of time with Shiraz so that he wouldn’t have to be crated, we were very grateful for him.”

“Stephen is a phenomenal communicator, with humans and pups. He’s very friendly and professional, and is terrific at what he does! Look forward to having him sit for our brood again soon.”

“Alexis is great all around. She is a pleasure to interact with, responsive, and sends timely updates. I could tell that all four of my girls and my pup felt comfortable with her and were well cared for. I would strongly recommend Alexis and look forward to her sitting my pack in the future!”
