“Thank you for taking good care of melissa. She did eat her snacks. Sorry it was so chilly for your outing.”


About: I have 15 years of extensive pet care and veterinary medicine experience including 10 of those working as Client Services for PennVet, Matthew J. Ryan Veterinary Hospital and BluePearl Veterinary Partners. Pet care is a natural part of my routine, and I prioritize it with love and attention. Whether it’s daily visits for feeding, playtime, and litter box cleaning or providing extended care for cats needing extra attention, I ensure every pet feels safe and comfortable. I seamlessly integrate pet sitting into my schedule, making time for cuddles, enrichment, and any special needs like medication administration. My flexible routine allows me to provide reliable, consistent care that keeps cats happy while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes thoroughly, and engage in playtime or cuddles based on each cat’s personality. If needed, I administer medications with care and patience. I also keep the home tidy, ensuring the pet’s space stays clean and welcoming. If caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, cat-friendly environment with cozy spaces, enrichment activities, and plenty of attention. Safety is my top priority, so I ensure all pets feel secure and at ease while receiving the same love and care they would at home.

About: I have owned pets all of my life, taking care of my own as well as my family’s pets. I have previously worked at a veterinary clinic and am currently a veterinary student. I am focusing my time this summer on pet sitting. I have quite a flexible schedule so I will have plenty of time to stop in for daily visits or take your pet for a walk! I can easily accommodate to your needs, whether it be for care within your home or taking them for a daily walk. Just leave a note or a description of what you need and it will get done.

About: I grew up with dogs from the age of 10. I am often called the pet whisperer by family and friends because their pets often do things they don't normally do with people they don't know well. I have a very flexible schedule and will be able to accommodate the needs of the pets to walk and feed take care of them from daily to weekly where needed. At this time I do not have any yard space or ability to have pets stay with me at my house. I am willing to stay at the pet owners home if needed or stop by for their care needs.

About: Hi, I have over ten years of experience with dogs. I volunteered and assisted at my local shelter from 2014 - 2017. I helped in the rehabilitation of about sixty animals to their furever home. I’m here to help you be at ease when it comes to your pet/furbaby as they are also part of the family, I love long walks and runs, and playtime is a huge factor. I can also assist with teaching various tricks and commands with lots of patience.

I'm available for overnights pet sitting any night of the week or walks at any time of the day! Each client and pup is unique! My goal is to make sure your dog's routine stays as regular as possible when in my care so they remain happy and healthy :). I always recommend meeting with each client before an overnight so they can physically walk me through their dog's routine, feeding and walk schedule, etc. I always ensure I am 110% certain where they are/are not allowed in the house and yard, emergency contact info, vet info, preferred walking routes and times, whether they're dog/people friendly, etc. Oh, and your dog will receive plenty of hugs and snuggles too!

“Thanks!”

About: A true nature lover I love ALL living things! Yes spiders and snakes too. Especially those who can love back . I've rescued and cared for almost every species. Elder dogs and those with health issues. Medications, injections I'm able to deliver it all. My schedule used to revolve around one of my Yorkies 12 hour insulin schedule. I cooked his meals took him for long walks. He loved the water and we spent long hours at the beach. He recently passed at age 15. I'm now willing to share with other pups who need some care and stimulation. I have a large fenced yard and a pool which one of my dogs and another I sit for loves! My other 2 are couch potatoes and are content to lay in the shade although they do enjoy their walks. We exercise rain or shine
