“We are new to the Northeast and planned a trip out of the country for our anniversary. Dustin was very responsive from the beginning. He came to the house prior to meet our pups and get a scope of the house. He kept us informed of their well being with pictures and even made Henry's birthday special while we were gone. He also took great care of the house. Dustin will definitely be our first reserve on future travels. We know both the pups and the house are in great hands.”

“Kat is the best! Kat moved in for the 9 days I was away and took care of my fearful, petrified of everything/one little pittie. Kat is the FIRST person who's been able to touch, get kissed and have my girl sleep w/her!! I was finally able to enjoy a vacation. The #1 most important thing for me and what Kat did, was listen to my instructions as nobody knows my dog as I do and it worked perfect! P.S my dog went to Kat even after u got home....huge deal I can't wait to vacation again”

About: I had a dog as a child. I have had dogs for over 35 years. They are great company and a great addition to any family. I am retired. My time would be totally devoted to spending time with your pet(s). I look forward to giving you the comfort that your pets are well-cared for while you are not home. My pets at home are pretty spoiled. They are not crated and we play inside and outside. Whatever the owners require is what I will do. Unfortunately, my most recent dog died of cancer. I miss her; but look forward to taking good care of other people’s pets.
“My husband and I have had Mikaela watch our 1 year old Golden Retriever in our house for two separate weekend trips. She’s took great care of our pup and gave plenty of updates. She also left the house spotless both times. I would highly recommend her!!”

“This is the second time we used Danielle for an out of town trip. Danielle is communicative and takes great care of our pup, Lincoln when we are out of town. She is knowledgeable and is proactive in caring for our dog and sends lots of photos! Thank you for taking such great care of our dog while we were out of town!”

About: I’ve owned a dog of my own since I was about 8 years old. Other then that for a couple years now I have been helping out family friends by walking/ feeding their pets when they are away. I decided to take part in this as a part time summer job! I am very flexible and should have loads of time to walk/ play with your pups. You can fully rely on me to make sure the pups are secured when I leave.. whether this is crating your pet or making sure the gates are locked I’ll make it happen!
“Jarris was great with our two pups. One of them stops eating when we leave and he did everything possible to make her feel comfortable. He communicated well and often about how they were doing.”

About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats before. Pets are man’s best friend and I believe they deserve getting excellent care. Dogs and cats of all breeds, shapes and sizes will get above and beyond good quality care. I do have a full time job, my hours are Monday-Friday 7AM-3:30PM, and I have church obligations on Sunday mornings, but I am happy to coordinate availability outside of those times. I work a consistent weekday schedule from 7:00am–3:30pm, which allows me to provide reliable evening care, walks, and overnight house sitting. I am also available most weekends and can accommodate advance scheduling. I focus on building trust with both pets and owners by maintaining clear communication, consistent routines, and attentive supervision. I respect each pet’s personality and adjust care to their individual needs.
About: I have cared for both small dogs and medium sized dogs. Have implemented special diets (Farmer's Dog) given medications through food or a treat. Assisted in foster care. Can follow leash and harness preferences and always have poop bags on the ready. I have slept beside puppies who are needy throughout the night. I am a full time K-12 art teacher so I would be available for any pet care services mostly on the weekends and few selected nights throughout the week. I would stay in the areas of the home that the pet is residing and or whichever areas that the client feels comfortable with. Example being the living room or dining room.

“Kayleen took such good care of our dog Corn and our home when we were away. She updated us regularly and sent cute photos of Corn. She took corn for a hike and walk when we were away. She went above and beyond to care for Corn and our home and we are looking forward to having her sit for us again!”


“Kaitlyn was amazing with Melvin! She came in very last minute to help care for him when I had multiple competing priorities. She kept him calm and happy and took him on a great walk. Very happy!”
About: I have walked dogs since I was a kid and absolutely love all animals! I have two children, 3 and 7, who desperately want a dog in the future. I am hoping to do this part time for them to have a sense of what having ann animal feels like and get them acclimated with the responsibility of having a dog. I work as a therapist but have a very flexible schedule. I work in office once per week and work from home the rest of the days. My office is also pet friendly depending on your dog. I love long hikes and being outside and would love a furry companion to take care of. I have a lot of space and I love long walks. I will take care of your animals in the way you want, whether it’s playing fetch or cuddles.
“Brooke was awesome, as usual. She sent daily photos or videos of the dogs and kept us updated on their day. Once we got home , the house was as we left it and she had even done extra things (get mail, take out trash, wash sheets) that we hadn’t expected her to do. I would recommend her to watch your dogs and/or house. She’s very reliable and trustworthy.”

“Caitlin was fantastic! Our pets absolutely loved her, she shared plenty of photos and updates during the short stayl Couldn't ask for more and we'll definitely be using her again.”


About: I used to have a Shih-tzu named Eris who was a very sweet girl with lots of energy. I currently look after a French Bulldog from time to time who I absolutely love. I like working with small dogs/lap dogs but I can work with bigger dogs too. I work from home, and I have plenty of time to play with your dog or take them on walks. I spend most of my day ar my desk, and I would welcome the extra encouragement to go outside and take the dog for a walk. I live with two other family members who love dogs, so your dog will never go without attention. If your dog is small, then I will happily let them sit on my bed while I work, and I'll reach over to give them pets whenever they want. Larger dogs are welcome to lie in a dog bed by my desk, or downstairs on the couch with me.
