Katie is absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of my kitties and kept me updated with lots of photos—not only of them but also of other areas of my home that she thoughtfully looked after. I felt completely at ease while I was away. I’ll definitely be using Katie again for future trips. Thank you so much, Katie!

About: I am an experienced animal rescue volunteer for a NJ foster based rescue organization. As a teacher, I look forward to spending summer break caring for animals in your home. I am able to devote my entire days/ weeks all summer to animal care and keeping. Wonderful change from the demands of teaching while I am on break. I have experience with critters of all kinds, including those with disabilities and special medical needs. I am happy to accommodate any care requests based on individual pets and their specific needs. I require a home visit before booking in order to meet your pet (s) and discuss practical details including home access while you are away. I am happy to provide frequent texts, pictures, etc. of your pets for the duration of your booking. I can be reached at any time in order to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of your pets while you are away.

About: I have had dogs for my entire life and I love being around them. I can easily manage walking, feeding, and entertaining them as I do at home. I am working at the Crabs Claw this summer, but I am hoping to fill my off hours with as much work as possible. I will be able to walk whenever I am not working I can manage all dogs needs. Whether they need to be leased on a walk, played with in a fenced yard, or crated at the end.

I can’t recommend Taylor highly enough! She took wonderful care of my dog, cat, and even my hermit crabs while I was away. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. She kept me updated with regular messages and adorable photos, which really put my mind at ease. All of my pets were clearly happy, comfortable, and well looked after. It’s not easy finding someone you can fully trust with your animals, but Taylor is truly one of a kind. I’ll be booking her again!

About: I've volunteered with an animal rescue for 8 years now. I know how to administer medicine, handle feral or very anxious furbabies, I'm fearless and very lovable. Animals are the humans most wonderful friends. I know basic dog training as well. I have open availability at this moment in time unless I have planned events. I'm planning to start school soon but most of my classes would be online so I will be home. If you have a certain routine or schedule with your babies I'll do my absolute best to follow in your foot steps for them. ❤️

About: I have three years of experience walking other dogs in my neighborhood back home. I have cared for dogs of different sizes and personalities. Additionally, I have spent my whole life caring for my own family’s dogs, including daily walks around the neighborhood and longer walks at the beach. I love dogs and love caring for them! I am in my senior year at ASU. As a student, I focus mainly on my studies, however I have a lot of time in between my classes and I am looking to fill this time with dog walking! My schedule is very flexible, just reach out! For dog walking, my priority is keeping pets safe and comfortable. I will make sure to follow the routine set by their owner and listen to the pets' needs. I will stay aware of surroundings at all times, adjusting each walk to match what your dog is comfortable with.

About: As a lover of all fur babies, I happily work with a variety of sizes, ages, and personalities. From energetic wigglers to couch snugglers, and from ankle-biter babies to powdered sugar snouts, I’m here to give your pet a tail-wagging experience. I work as a full time Emergency Medical Technician. This means I work longer shifts for only a few days per week. This leaves me plenty of time to spend with your baby! Your baby is family, and I make sure to treat them as such. I take care of feedings, walks, playtime, and snuggles of course! I make sure to stick to their normal routine so they stay comfy and stress-free. I am also happy to learn medication administration if necessary. You’ll receive updates and photos as desired so you don’t have to miss a thing!

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about five years for neighbors, family friends, and people in my hometown. I grew up with dogs and currently have my own, so I’m very comfortable around animals and used to being responsible for them daily. I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m used to longer walks for high-energy dogs, sticking to specific feeding schedules, crate routines, and helping pets that might be anxious when their owners are away. I pay attention to instructions and try to keep their routine as normal as possible. I’m also very communicative. I send updates and photos because I know it makes a difference when you’re away from your pet. I take commitments seriously and try to make things easy and stress-free for owners. ’m a full-time college student, but I plan my schedule carefully and build pet care around my classes. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I’m always clear about my availability ahead of time. If I commit to a booking, I make sure I can fully follow through. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with respect and follow all care instructions closely. I double-check doors, leashes, and gates and make sure pets are secure before leaving. My goal is to keep everything consistent and safe so both you and your pet feel comfortable.

About: I've grown up with and have been surrounding by dogs my whole life. I have fostered 50+ dogs through a local animal shelter to save them from threatening situations. I have been a veterinary assistant for 4 years and have worked at three different animal hospitals! I am an active and continuous volunteer at two different animal shelters. I am currently an undergraduate student on the pre-veterinary track. I have recently started pet sitting/ walking to get more time with animals! I am an animal care intern working part time so my hours change weekly but am pretty flexible. I am available most weekends for walkings and visits and most weekdays for dog sittings. I try to make the pets as comfortable as possible, especially if they are in an unfamiliar environment or meeting me for the first time. I love animals and just want to give them all the love in the world, but understand that they have boundaries the same way people do. I am also very comfortable handing medical treatments/ pill upkeep if the animal needs.

This was our first time working with Ashley and it was easy and stress free! She came for a meet and greet and a followup before our first visit which was helpful for me to show everything. I received a ton of pictures and I could tell our large, rambunctious pups were happy!! We will definitely work with Ashley again!

About: I've taken care of mutiple dogs with different disabilities to dogs with high energy and needs lots of play time. Depending on the age and activity it can handle depends my routine with them. If its a puppy, I will make sure to follow the guidelines set and to practice its skill to not collect bad habits. I am currently a leasing agent. My time spent with any pet will be the same. I will designate my days off to this app to help fellow neighbors Each situation is different depending on housing if it has a fence or how the dog is with people and other dogs. My main concern is being there if the dog needs to go to the bathroom or its daily walks. Then when its an over night visit. I make sure the dog knows its safe until the owner is home. If it were to come to my home I would ensure it is comfortable with the enviornment and bring toys and treats to help the dog settle in.
