About: I grew up with dogs in my home, and when I became a teacher over 10 years ago, I began dog walking and pet sitting for others, too, over my summer break. I have cared for dogs with a variety of needs, including high energy puppies, animals with anxiety, and elderly animals with mobility issues. As a teacher with summers off, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend as much time with your pets as is needed. We will have plenty of time for long walks, play sessions, and belly scratches. I will ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved in your home, even when you’re away. I will stick to whatever routine you’ve already established, treating your pet and your home with just as much care as you do.

About: To me they are not just animals. For me they are angels with the purest soul ever. They are part of the family. They need to be treated with respect, love and patience. I love dogs completely because their loyalty and unconditional love has no limits. Something we as humans are not capable of( sad to say it but is true) I will make sure they will have fun, feel comfortable and keep them busy so they don't miss you so much. Missing you cause them to have anxiety and thats what we will try to avoid. Your baby will be safe with me. I worked in a dog shelter for a whole year. I could feed 40 dogs in 25 min. I feel I can handle even the grumpy ones ::) jk I work from home that allows me to be all the time with the pups. I can dedicate my whole time to pet sit your little cutie pie I love to walk them , watch movies , cuddle, swim if posible, go on walks , play games , snack time , kisses and hugs

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I've taken care of dogs since I was 8, and I used to work at a doggy daycare. I work part time while focusing on my music career which gives me plenty of time to take care of my 8 year old pomeranian and hopefully your dog as well. I'm very attentive to details/instructions, take daily walks and grooming (as needed). I strive to create a safe and fun atmosphere for everyone involved in my care.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and I currently have a fur baby now! She’s super friendly and lovable and loves all animals! She means the world to me and I love taking her outside for walks in to get fresh air. I can’t wait to meet and care for your fur baby! I do have a full-time job but morning walks and feeding are in routine for the morning, afternoon, and nighttime as well. My dog loves to play after I get home from work so that is something they can do together as well. Any daily care or routine can be worked out! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I can take your dog on multiple walks throughout the day. I also have a dog who can keep your animal company and I also have a cage if you would like them to be crated if needed.

Nathalia is a gift that keeps on giving. She cared for my 75+ lbs mixed breed during my weeks long work emergency and saved the day by providing first class professional and personal care for my dog when I couldn’t make it home in time to walk him. She turns the adage: “if you want something done right you have to do it yourself” on its head. If you want pet care for your fur baby done right you get Nathalia. She helped me during my emergency when no one would. And she provided phenomenal care. My dog lives her!! I swear you’d think they’ve known each other for years but she just met my dog four days ago and they’ve bonded on the first day. And that is a huge relief not having to worry about someone actually caring for and about my dog. My kid. Nathalia isn’t just a dog walker, she’s a caregiver, she genuinely cares about my dog. She cares about every animal. She’s wonderful. She came through for me at the last minute and she has been kind, patient, professional and even loving. Like…literally loving my dog. Nathalia is the Platinum Standard when it comes to “Who Can I Trust to Take Care of My Baby?”. Thank you very, very, very much Nathalia, for taking great care of my dog. Definitely will be repeat clients.

About: Hi my name is Delaney and I love animals! I am passionate about caring for them and enjoy their company. I ride horses and have a pet gecko. I have taken care of dogs before and know that each one has different needs. I one day hope to take care of animals on a larger scale, owning my own rescue for abused and mistreated animals. Watching these dogs wouldn’t be just for the money, but for my own pleasure because dogs bring me so much joy and nothing makes me happier than knowing I have done a job well done. I promise your dog will be in good hands and well taken care of. No one is as suited to do this job than me. I am currently a full time student at Marymount Manhattan College, and plan my pet sitting assignments with my class schedule in mind. I ensure that I have sufficient time between classes and assignments to meet the needs of the pets I'm responsible for. I understand that pet care needs can vary, and I'm committed to maintaining a flexible schedule that aligns with the needs of pet owners. I can adjust my availability to fit around my school classes and other academic obligations. I take pet care seriously, and I'm committed to providing the best care for each animal I look after. Their well-being and comfort are my top priorities, and I ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve. I will follow the pet's established daily routine as closely as possible while offering companionship, petting, and cuddles. I will be sure to report any unusual behavior, signs of illness, or changes in eating or drinking habits. I will secure the home when leaving, double-checking that all doors and windows are locked and that the pet is safe and comfortable. I will provide excellent care to your pets, ensuring your beloved animals' safety, comfort, and well-being.

About: "I’m basically the fun dog aunt every pup dreams of! I grew up with dogs and now spend tons of time with my brother’s pups, so I’m no stranger to wagging tails, slobbery kisses, and endless games of fetch. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your furry friend feels loved, safe, and totally spoiled." I work at a school, so I’m off for the summer and have plenty of time for walks, playtime, and snuggles with your pup! My schedule is super flexible right now, which means I can be there when you and your furry friend need me most. When I care for pets in your home, I make sure they stick to their usual routine so they feel safe and happy. That means feeding them on schedule, keeping up with walks and playtime, and making sure they get plenty of love and attention. I also respect your space and keep things tidy, so you come home to a happy pet and a home just the way you left it. I’ll send photo updates so you can see how your furry friend is doing while you’re away.

About: Besides years of experience with my own pets at home (including but not limited to my dog, guinea pig, fish, bunny, turtle, and more), I have over a year experience dealing with a variety of dogs and cats as an intern at Westwood Regional Veterinary hospital. I have experience handling, walking, bathing, feeding, and playing with dogs both small and large. Not only that but I had formed such strong connections with my patients that some clients requested me for in-home dog sitting. As an incoming college student, my schedule has become more free, opening up more opportunities to care for your pets! During the summer I am available almost every day unless listed otherwise. Don’t hesitate to reach out! I am not currently accepting boarding in my own home, however I am more than happy to pet sit as well as stay overnight sitting in a clients home. I care for your pets to the best of my ability with your instructions kept in mind.

About: Zoology background, rainforest fieldwork, and long-term experience with 8+ dog breeds and multiple other species. My care blends science, heart, and hands-on skill across species, ages, and personalities. I own a German Shepard and an Olde English Bulldog. We are a very active household. We go on multiple long walks a day. We also do a lot of outdoor activities such as hiking and swimming. I also actively take care of their hygiene daily. My German Shepard gets brushed and wiped everyday and my Olde English gets wiped every day along with the care for her wrinkles. They both get a bath at least once a week and paws are cleaned upon every entry to the house. I make sure all animals in my care are always safely taken care of in my company. No pet shall be off a leash, even in fenced in areas where we may not know other pets. I make sure I never put pets in any situations that can scare or harm them. I stick to required dietary restrictions. I also follow all rules and regulations put in place by pet owners. I always make sure pets receive the absolute best care they can.

About: I have had dogs since I was born in 1960, my little Lab, Rocky then he was joined with our German Shepherd ,Dutch. I have always connected with dogs. Over the years there was Shepherd mix sisters, Baby, Tammy, Fared and Dutchess. In the group was also my mom's English Sheep dog named Charlie and now my daughter's little guy, Rudy. All of them were loved so much. More recent my Dachshund Bella of 12 1/2 yrs . My sweat heart crossed the Rainbow bridge July 29, 2022 at 12:35 am. She had liver issue and it broke my heart. I cared for her those last months and she was never in pain and lived five months longer then the Vet said. Bella passed with me at home in her favorite place on my sofa, I was there, right there with her. I was a mess but I am convinced 3 1/2 months later Bella sent Junior to me from a rescue as a scared 50 lb American Bully Pitty mix. He is 9 yrs old now and recently nursed him back to health from a reaction to cytopoint allergy shot May 28th 2025. I had to teach him to eat and drink and even walk again and with constant support of Vet emergency office (not the vet that gave him the shot) He is fantastic now. After his bland diet of a few weeks I started him on non-kibble food because I do not want to chance another reaction to cytopoint in January. So far he is more alert and less anxious. I am semi-retired and want to do something but not hard physical stuff of the past and desire to do what I love , care for animals and get paid for it and have no stress to really enjoy mowing and weed wack my lawn and gardening. Also , get back to studying foreign languages like Spanish, Italian and French. Don't test me, not that good yet. As I mentioned how I took care of Junior who is doing great ( doesn't get along with other dogs ) and Bella .I also wash Junior's paws after every walk to get residue off him. Do my part to push back against his allergy. I would be happy to rinse your dogs paws off after a walk. Just a damp cloth and dry. I travel with them.. just an idea for you to think about.

About: I’ve taken care of my friend small and medium sized dogs when they are away for vacation and I always send them updates of how their pets are doing. Having to show the best experience of me being their dog sitter, they referred me to other friends of theirs to have me watch their pets while they are working or away. I’m currently working remotely F/T but can be available on my lunch breaks and on weekdays after 5 pm and weekends anytime of the day I have a spacious apartment with my 10 year old friendly Pomeranian who can keep your fur baby company. I make sure they are fed and walked as needed. I always like to keep the pet owner updated on their fur babies day to day activities so they have a peace of mind when they are taken care of.

About: I'm originally from Bolivia, and animals have given my life a deep sense of purpose. At 15, I rescued my first dog. Sadly, I couldn’t save him — but that moment changed my life. I promised myself I would help as many animals as I could. Since then, I’ve rescued and rehomed over 70 stray animals, two now live in Virginia, and five are still with my family in Bolivia. Through this journey, I’ve cared for animals in critical physical and emotional conditions — including senior dogs needing special medical care, mothers with puppies, and dogs with disabilities. This experience has given me deep knowledge of comprehensive animal care and a strong sense of empathy and patience. I also studied tourism and launched a pet-friendly travel business in Bolivia, planning and leading unforgettable 2–3 day trips with up to 25 dogs. I have strong experience managing groups of dogs in large, open spaces such as hiking trails, green parks, and even on buses during transport. These adventures were designed to create joyful, safe, and enriching experiences for both pets and people. Although I currently can’t have pets at home due to housing restrictions, animals remain at the center of my heart. Working with them allows me to stay connected to what brings me the most happiness. I offer care rooted in real experience, deep compassion, and a lifelong love for these incredible beings. I’m currently studying as I prepare to begin a career in education, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to accommodate last-minute calls or changes. Going for walks is already part of my daily routine — I enjoy walking long distances, so combining that habit with dog walking feels like a perfect match. I also have the freedom to study from anywhere, which means I can easily spend time in homes or outdoor spaces while caring for pets, giving them the attention and companionship they need throughout the day. At the moment, I’m unable to care for pets in my home due to housing restrictions. However, I’m fully available to care for pets in my clients’ homes or during walks and drop-in visits. I always provide gentle, respectful, and attentive care, making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own space.

Kate has been our first choice when we needed a dog sitter for over 10 years. We have used her service on several occasions, most often when we vacation during the summer months and had to leave our dogs alone for extended periods of time. During the times we were absent from home, she stayed in communication with us on a regular basis, sent us many photos and videos of our dogs, and texted us regularly with updates. She has always eliminated the stress of leaving the dogs and house behind for long periods of time. Most importantly, Kate is trustworthy, and our dogs love her. We would be happy to provide personal references upon request.

Camryn is a caring soul. When she’s passionate about something, she’ll devote herself entirely to the task at hand. Cam also loves dogs, and when she’s on campus, her thoughts always return to her dog Fern. Fern is in very good health, and is an incredibly affectionate critter, a personality no doubt nurtured by Cam’s attentive and loving embrace. She also regularly bathes and grooms Fern, but her care is not smothering, as she is more than content with Fern resting wherever she pleases. Fern is also a very sociable dog, and gets along well with strangers, whether they be bipedal or quadrupedal. If you were to combine Camryn’s passion for our canine companions with career opportunities, you’d have a dog-sitting force to be reckoned with.

I've known Scott for a few years now and I can say with total confidence that he is absolutely amazing with animals. When I first met him his dog was very sick and the way he cared for Bella was absolutely amazing. He made sure she had everything she needed and all the love she could have wanted in her final days. And now he has Jr. He's a rescue that he saved that was very difficult at 1st but he was persistent and never gave up on him and now he's doing absolutely amazing all because of Scott. If I was going away or needed someone to come check on my dogs while I'm at work, Scott would absolutely be the 1st person I would ask to do so. He his a kind fun loving man that loves animals as much as people (if not more! 😂) whenever we see each other we always talk about our pets. He's definitely a perfect fit for anyone that loves their dogs!

About: Hi, I’m Ipek.I’ve always loved animals and used to have a cat, so I understand how much pets mean to us. I’m reliable, caring, and happy to help with walks, playtime, or any care your pet needs. Let me know how I can help! i work at home so my schedule is flexible. I will be avaliable anytime of the day but we should be scheduled before a day earlier. firstly, I would prefer dog walking. Then I prefer to have pet in my home. I do not have any pet in my home currently. I live in a townhouse which is pretty safe and clean.

About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve also had a variety of pets, including hamsters, guinea pigs, and turtles. I have trained my own dog since she was a puppy and have experience working with senior pets. I am always ready to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I am currently a college student and part time military police for the New Jersey Army National Guard. I have a flexible schedule so I can easily adjust to meet your pet care needs at a time that works best for you. I have a fenced in yard and have a lot of knowledge on crate training pets. I always triple check leashes and harnesses before walks. I make sure doors are always closed behind me to keep your pet safe and secure.

About: I'm originally from Bolivia, and animals have given my life a deep sense of purpose. At 15, I rescued my first dog. Sadly, I couldn’t save him — but that moment changed my life. I promised myself I would help as many animals as I could. Since then, I’ve rescued and rehomed over 70 stray animals, two now live in Virginia, and five are still with my family in Bolivia. Through this journey, I’ve cared for animals in critical physical and emotional conditions — including senior dogs needing special medical care, mothers with puppies, and dogs with disabilities. This experience has given me deep knowledge of comprehensive animal care and a strong sense of empathy and patience. I also studied tourism and launched a pet-friendly travel business in Bolivia, planning and leading unforgettable 2–3 day trips with up to 25 dogs. I have strong experience managing groups of dogs in large, open spaces such as hiking trails, green parks, and even on buses during transport. These adventures were designed to create joyful, safe, and enriching experiences for both pets and people. Although I currently can’t have pets at home due to housing restrictions, animals remain at the center of my heart. Working with them allows me to stay connected to what brings me the most happiness. I offer care rooted in real experience, deep compassion, and a lifelong love for these incredible beings. I’m currently studying as I prepare to begin a career in education, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to accommodate last-minute calls or changes. Going for walks is already part of my daily routine — I enjoy walking long distances, so combining that habit with dog walking feels like a perfect match. I also have the freedom to study from anywhere, which means I can easily spend time in homes or outdoor spaces while caring for pets, giving them the attention and companionship they need throughout the day. At the moment, I’m unable to care for pets in my home due to housing restrictions. However, I’m fully available to care for pets in my clients’ homes or during walks and drop-in visits. I always provide gentle, respectful, and attentive care, making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own space.

Not only is she an amazing human friend, but an even greater animal lover. She's very responsible, caring, trustworthy person. I believe Laisha would take amazing care of the lovely dog or cat or any animal anyone puts in her hands. I can speak from experience, she took amazing care of my fluffy boy for a month and he almost didn't want to come back home to me, haha.
