My dogs are having a great time getting to know Jennie. She sends me videos of the dogs wagging their tails and playing. She also keeps me updated on how the visits are going and sends a bunch of photos which is great! Jennie is very communicative and responsive. She has attended to all of my requests and followed any instructions I have provided. Jennie has been a pleasure to interact with and I’m glad my dogs have responded so well to her care. I highly recommend Jennie!

About: I have experience working in both a veterinary clinic and a boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Through these roles I cared for pets with a wide range of personalities, ages, and needs while learning how to recognize signs of stress, illness, and discomfort. I am comfortable caring for puppies, adults, and seniors and I understand the importance of maintaining routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable. As a veterinary assistant, I also have experience handling animals using fear free techniques and compassion, giving owners peace of mind that their fur babies are in capable hands. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care and treat every pet like family. I'm currently on summer break from college so I will be available for bookings through June-mid August. I am available for weekends and weekdays when needed. I focus on maintaining your pet's normal routine as closely as possible. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), and any other care requirements. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for while you're away by providing reliable, attentive care in their familiar environment

About: With over 8 years of experience as a veterinary technician, I bring calm, capable, and reliable care to every pet I look after. I’m fully comfortable with medication administration, monitoring special conditions, and supporting pets with special needs who may require extra attention or patience. I treat every animal like my own, whether they’re a dog who loves playtime or a cat who needs a gentle, understanding approach. I’m extremely comfortable with both cats and dogs, including seniors, shy personalities, and pets who need medical or behavioral support. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first with me. My schedule is very open, as I’m currently doing online school and not working outside the home. This allows me to be flexible and work around your pet’s routine as much as possible. The only time I’m unavailable each day is during my lunch break from 12:30–2:00 PM, when I spend time with my husband. Outside of that window, I’m fully available for drop‑ins, walks, and pet care. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s needs and create a schedule that works best for them. Whether you need consistent daily visits or occasional help, I’ll do my best to accommodate you. I do take Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day off, but I’m available throughout the rest of the year. Your pets’ comfort and routine matter to me, and I’m here to make things as smooth and stress‑free as possible. I do not bring pets into my home, as I believe most animals feel safest and happiest in their own familiar environment. Keeping your pet in their routine reduces stress, prevents confusion, and allows me to give care that feels natural and comfortable for them. It also ensures I don’t disrupt the established routines of my own cats, who thrive on structure. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely and treat your space with the utmost respect. Every home and every pet is different, and I take the time to understand what your pet needs to feel secure — whether that’s sticking to a feeding schedule, maintaining a quiet environment, or following specific medical or behavioral guidelines. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and trustworthy experience for both you and your pets. Your home and your animals are cared for with the same attention and respect I give my own.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for 50+ years. In my 20s I bread dogs and throughout my life I’ve owned dogs from cocker spaniels to chihuahuas to labs, I truly love them all. A side hobby of mine is making organic, raw dog food for my own dogs that I’ve been doing for the past 8 years. I’m a substitute teacher and love animals. Since the school year is coming to an end I would like to fill me days taking care of dogs and cats. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. When I visit your home, I’ll provide loving care, plenty of attention, and follow your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and happy. From cuddles and playtime to walks and feeding, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own.

About: Hello! I have a lifelong passion for caring for animals. From a young age, I've been surrounded by pet bunnies, cats, dogs and lizards. I would like to keep taking care of your furry family members and, my number 1 priority is to make sure they're happy, healthy, and loved. It's not just me though, my boyfriend, Gill A. also joins me on these sits, so your furry friend gets double the love! As dedicated pet caregivers, we understand certain pets unique needs and preferences. Whether providing nourishing meals, engaging in interactive play sessions, or offering gentle companionship and cuddles! If your pet happens to be a lizard, maybe no cuddling, but we will make sure they are well fed and happy! In addition to essential care tasks, we both offer various fun activities, specifically to cats and dogs so that they are entertained and mentally stimulated. This may include interactive toy play, puzzle feeders, and laser point games. For dogs, this would include playing some tug of war, fetch, or frisbee! Every pet deserves the best care possible, and we are here to provide just that. If you need caring and responsible sitters who will treat your furry friend like family, please don't hesitate to reach out. We would be honored to care for your beloved furry family member! Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, as I am a full-time student with flexibility in the afternoons, starting from 3 PM. This allows me to dedicate focused time and attention to pets, ensuring they receive the care, exercise, and companionship they deserve For in-home pet care, we prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. This includes regular feeding, providing fresh water, administering medications if needed, and ensuring plenty of playtime and affection. Additionally, we maintain cleanliness by cleaning litter boxes, disposing of waste, and keeping living areas tidy. We also offer personalized attention and follow the owner's specific care instructions to ensure their pet's well-being and happiness.

Gabe did an excellent job caring for our two cats while we were away! One of them requires insulin injections and has a few quirks, and Gabe handled everything with confidence and care. He clearly paid attention during the meet and greet and followed instructions closely. Communication was great, and we felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. We’d happily book with Gabe again!

About: I have worked as a veterinary nurse (ER, and general practice) for over 5 years taking care of all types of animals. I have been pet sitting privately for years, and take great pride in providing pets with a calm loving approach to make sure they are as happy as possible. Having my background in Vet-med I can confidently give owners peace of mind that their pets will always be safe, and have knowledge about senior care, anxiety, and other special health conditions. My schedule at the animal hospital I work for is very flexible, so I can be available when needed for the most part. Weekdays, nights and weekends are available depending on whatever owners need. I have extensive knowledge about animal safety, health, and enrichment. As well as understanding of different breeds/ages requirements. If your pet needs to be medicated daily, if they need extensive activity, or if you need someone to continue training while you’re away that is not a problem at all. For drop in visits I typically spend about an hour (depending on whatever you want) with the animals to make sure they are comfortable and happy when I leave. For walks it is dependent on breed/size/age, for example border collies need more exercise than bulldogs and seniors’ joints may not work as well as they used to. I can also provide mental stimulation for your pets via puzzles/games/light training. For in home pet sitting, I ask for an extensive run down or list of their typical daily routine to make sure their life is as close to normal as possible, which helps ease any anxiety they might have not having their owners home. I require “meet and greets” for all new pets/clients before I agree to walk/pet sitting, trust is extremely important to me and I want to make sure my clients always have peace of mind. I am also always reachable via phone/text, and love sending owners updates with cute photos/videos.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. I grew up with 2 beautiful dogs one since I was 5. I’ve owned 2 other dogs since and have been responsible for walking, feeding, & taking care of them my entire life. I’ve trained them and have taken care of large puppy litters 3 times. I know my way around dogs very well and have always loved them. I’m a dog person 100% and can handle any type of dog. I’ve owned large, medium & small dogs as well as puppies. Bonus, if your dog is very active I could run with them as well instead of only walking. I’m currently working only part-time. I’m available basically every day at most times during the day and I’m flexible. I can cover weekdays & weekends. I love pets and treat them with care. I’ve never believed in pet violence. The care I’d give to your dog should be the least of your concerns. I love dogs and get along with them very well.

About: I have over 6 years of experience caring for my own dog, as well as helping to take care of my cousin's dogs. I took care of them by feeding, walking, and giving them water. I also completed an internship at Rockaway Veterinary Hospital, where I gained hands-on experience with basic care and monitoring pets' health and behavior. I feel comfortable working with any animals as long as they aren't too aggressive. I loved working and being with animals since I was little, and in the future, I hope to work on a farm or as a vet. I'm going to college, and I'm available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to care for your pets. Any time works for me before 8:00 pm. I usually take care of pets by taking them on walks, feeding them, and giving them water. The service I provide is going to the client's house and taking care of their pet. When pet sitting, I update the client by sending pictures and texting them about the pet's progress. In case of an emergency, I will take the pet to the vet.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover, highly experienced with “escape artists”. I only look after pets from a single household and I work from home so your pet(s) will have all the attention they need and deserve. I have experience with dogs, both young and old. Whether they need medication or potty pads, I’ve got it handled! I live in a quiet subdivision that makes for great walks, and I have a fenced in yard. NO pets are unsupervised at any time outside. I take great pride in the fact you can rest easy and know your pet is in great care! I work from home and my schedule is relative flexible. I have time to take dogs out 3 times a day (or more if required). This also allows me to get some play time in throughout the day. I do not make commitments to others when I am watching your pets, so they will always have supervision I have a fenced in yard and I live in a quiet subdivision. I have a small friendly dog that likes to keep to herself (cat friendly as well). And I have large and medium crates, if your pets prefers to sleep in one as well as plenty of space if you prefer to provide your own.

About: My dogs have been with me for 5 years now, I’ve gone through the puppy stage with them so I understand how to care for dogs under certain circumstances. I also volunteer at the animal shelter! I’m also trained in giving dogs insulin shots! I’m usually available for dog walking and check ins every weekday in the afternoon and all day on weekends! I’m currently a senior in high school, I am free usually anytime after 2:30 on weekdays and I’m usually free all day during the weekend. Thank you! My home has a fenced yard that my dogs have easy access to through a doggy door, if your dog isn’t comfortable with using a doggy door, I can always bring him/her out through the door. Both of my dogs are very friendly, but if they don’t get along I can always crate them or put a gate separating them.

It was a pleasure to have Rachel watch our dog over Christmas vacation. She gave our pup lots of snuggles and love, and even though we had a snowstorm while we were away she was still willing to come. (We were able to get a neighbor which was wonderful, so hopefully she got to stay home and snuggle up!) We will definitely be using her again!
