About: I've had guinea pigs all my life, and I have taken care of my friends and families dogs and cats. Taking care of animals is a huge passion of mine, and I take it very seriously I have a lot of free time on my hands and would be available anytime of the week. If something does come up on my schedule I will let you know. I would prefer to take care of your animals in your own home and would be able to stay over or check in on them as much as you want.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. The first dog I called mine was a miniature schnauzer named Poca. I got her when I was 5. I have had many dogs over the years, as well as cats, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, reptiles, and other types of pets. I have worked at animal shelters for months of my life. I would feed animals, give them water, take them outside, help administer medicine, watch them in the yards, and just generally love on them. I also have experience working with wild animals at zoos. I have open availability for pet care services, as my main source of income is gig economy work. I am flexible, so no matter what you need, I can likely make it work. I make sure your pets always have access to fresh water, and depending on how your pets are usually fed, I can feed them on a schedule or set up free-feeding. I will also make sure they get plenty of attention.
“Desire was absolutely fabulous!!! My pup just came home a week ago and she was able to take great care of our energetic little guy! Not being potty trained and in a new environment, she was able to keep him calm, provide updates of him and was very professional! Desire is GREAT!!! ?”
About: I have been helping care for our dogs my entire life but I’m really only counting since I was 10. I’m not sure if I would count earlier as helping lol. I would dog sit for family, friends, and coworkers too. I always make sure they are happy and feed. Along with making sure all their energy is out too. I will follow all food instructions that they have. I have given dogs pills before if they require them. I have limited experience with both elderly dogs and puppies, however I am willing to learn what they will need from me. I do work full time but I have an hour lunch where I can run back to let them out. I work from 8-4 so if they don’t need to be let out during the day I will let them out immediately once I get back. I do not do much on the weekends so weekends will be spent with furry friends. I will care for your pet in your home and make it as close as to their routine as possible. I have walked dogs on a leash and have good control. If they do not eat human food they will not be given human food. I always stick to the portions that I am told when feeding them too. If I have a concern about one of the furry friends I will contact you immediately to see what you would like me to do.
About: I have had many dogs in my lifetime, around 9 different breeds in the past 18 years. I have also been pet sitting for multiple clients over the course of a year. I have taken care of frail senior dogs all the way to puppies. I don’t mind getting my hands dirty if I must. I also have a lot of experience with other animals! I’ve owned birds, lizards, rats, crabs, bunnies, fish, you name it! I will also gladly take care of any pets like these with no extra charge :) I have a flexible job and am able to work around that as well as my college classes as most of them are spaced out throughout the day. I always make sure to let the pups out immediately and change the water in the water bowl, and feed them if it’s time to eat. I typically make sure to wipe the grime out of their eyes in the morning- it bothers me for some reason, I like when dogs have a clean face. I’ll usually stay for around 20 minutes or longer and hang out with the pups. If a dog needs to get his/her energy out, I’ll normally play with them before I leave to ensure they don’t wreck the house. I’ll give a treat twice a day at most.
About: I'm an experienced veterinary nurse with over 30 years, taking care of all kinds of pets. I am currently a surgical nurse and I specialize in senior care, diabetics, post surgical care and medical boarding. When your pet needs extra special care, call me! I work full time Tues, Wed, Thurs, which leaves me free to pet sit Fri, Sat, Sun & Mon. Perfect for those long weekend plans! I have a large, safe, fenced in yard for your dog to play. I have four friendly dogs and a handful of house cats to keep your pet company.
“Katie was great! She spent quality time with the pups and went out of her way to form a positive relationship with our very shy wolfhound. I highly recommend Katie and will book her in the future.”

“Saul watched Frank for a week on very late notice and I would book him again in a heartbeat. I got frequent updates, daily pictures, and Frank looked very happy the entire time. Saul had me completely at ease my entire trip. I'll be sure to check his availability in the future! Thank you so much!”

About: I have a genuine and deep connection with animals of all kinds; finned, furred, two-legged or four-legged. I will treat any and all pets with love and kindness. I work within the school system so my summer will be open for whatever needs you have! I enjoy early mornings, can appreciate a late night and will do whatever is needed in between! I have two cats that will stay out of the way and will not bother your fur baby! I love making sure my own fur babies are as taken care of as possible so I will do the same for yours.
About: Hi there! I would love to have the honor of taking care of your fur babies! I have plenty of experience considering I have 9 dogs of my own... yes 9! Two big dogs and the rest are small to medium sized. So I am basically a dog walker at my own house just without the pay, haha. I am a recent college graduate from ESU with a BA in musical theatre but I would love to in the future become a veterinarian someday. My schedule is open and I also have my own transportation! I would describe myself as very reliable, kind, and caring. I hope you consider me to be your pups dog walker, I can promise you they will be in good hands!(:
“My 3 dogs were well cared for by Elizabeth! She gave them lots of love and attention as if they were her own. She also sent us photos of them enjoying their time together. I would highly recommend her for all your dog sitting needs! Thanks again, Elizabeth!!”
“In-home pet care for our two older dogs is preferable to boarding and Kristine did a great job looking after our fur babies while we were out of town for a long weekend. Kristine communicated with us on a regular basis and was not hesitant to ask questions. We will definitely consider using Kristine's services again when needed.”

I would 100% recommend Sarah for any family that wants someone to love and provide a caring experience for their pets.”
Jasper S.
“Jasper is a responsible person who has a lot of knowledge and experience with animals - not just dogs and cats. Jasper has had interactions with hawks/falcons and pet birds as well as parrots and other birds. Jasper has experience working in animal shelters and worked at a zoo in Georgia as well. I have know Jasper for a few years and have seen them interacting with animals. Very respectful of the animals needs and also just loves animals and the animals under their care are well taken care of. I highly recommend Jasper for animal sitting, walking, vacation care, etc. In addition, Jasper is an honest person and has been in and out of property we own - but do not live in - and can be trusted. The other think commendable about Jasper is that they are responsible and arrive on time and are a great worker. We care for abandoned cats that Jasper is involved with and the cats love Jasper. I cannot say enough nice things about Jasper.”

Jaimee manages all 5 with no issues and also helps take care of some of the stray cats that we feed. Feedings, potty breaks, walks, and administrating medications have never been problems. We are truly lucky to have her in our lives!”
