Bianca R took great care of our cats while we were away. She came at the same time each day and sent pictures of them to everyday. We enjoyed our vacation even more knowing that our cats were well-taken care of. Bianca was also pleasant to interview and felt she was a kind person. I highly recommend her.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 12. Mostly focused on friends and neighbors but am ready to spread more joy and help. I’ve taken care of pups as young as a couple months and focused on their fine learning abilities through basic training. I’m a huge advocate of dog walks and training in basic skills. I’m currently a student so I do have a good available schedule. I am free weekends for boarding. On weekdays, I am usually free after 3pm. I have a big yard and no pets so no conflicts of that sort would occur. Indoors, I have a special room dedicated and catered to your pet’s needs. At your home, pets will be well taken care of along with your home.

About: Having my own dog before, I understand the needs of taking care of a dog! Leash training is an essential part of having a pet, and that is something I know how to work with without using any shock collar, or prong devices that might be painful to your pet. Currently I am a Chemistry student, and have a very flexible schedule, so I am able to work around most individuals schedules. I am always willing to talk and coordinate something to work out a pet care schedule, communication is key and important to figuring out a schedule that meets both your pets and family’s needs. I am very respectful and will work with a client according to their rules, and how they would like to go about caring for there pet. The client’s house privacy and protection is something I take very seriously, and respect however the client wishes to go about their pet’s care. I am respectful, and accommodating to all. I am a full time student. I am happy to be with your pups whenever I’m not at school, and am accommodating to almost all schedules! I am respectful and understanding of clients home request. Whether theres certain hours they’d like to have there dog outside, or certain places they may not want there pups to be. I am understanding and can follow clients request to ensure they feel comfortable with there sitter.

Jon provided exceptional service. He was available on short notice and responded promptly and professionally. He took the time to properly introduce himself to my dog, which created a smooth and comfortable start. Jon followed all instructions with great attention to detail and accommodated specific requests with courtesy. His professional demeanor, care for the dog’s well-being, and commitment to maintaining a clean home environment were evident throughout. I would be pleased to hire him again in the future! :)

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. My hands-on experience started in 2015 with my cat Mittens (now 10) and my dog Fluffy (also 10), so I understand the long-term care and attention pets need at every stage of life. In addition to caring for my own pets, I worked at an animal hospital for a year and a half, where I gained valuable experience in animal care. This included feeding pets with special diets, following specific care instructions, and supporting animals with different needs. My combination of personal and professional experience helps me provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for every pet I look after! I am currently home for the summer from college would like to dedicate my afternoons to my future furry friends! I am flexible, so if there is any shifting/accommodations that has to happen that is fine. I care for pets in my client’s home by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and kept in their normal routine while their owner is away. I follow all specific instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, dietary needs, medication if needed, and exercise routines. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they don’t feel stressed or lonely. I treat each home with respect and keep everything clean. I will always provide updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away--I know what its like to miss my pets too!

About: I’ve been training and taking care of animals since I was a little girl! I have experience training birds, cats, dogs, and have even expanded into reptilian and amphibian care. I prioritize having personalized + ATTENTIVE relationships with fur baby + parent. I take care of your baby for you and show up as a part of your community :) Pet-care is currently my full time work, which means I get to spend every day taking care of animals, while building my holistic health and community skills. I also love to take the time to do extensive research on animals and plants! In my home, I provide the basic standard of care with personalized upgrades-pumpkin and goats milk in his food, a water fountain over still water, and grooming 2 times a week/every two weeks. Whatever preferences or demands needed for your animal, I can happily provide.

Anya was punctual and very kind and caring with our dogs. Ruby is a nervous dog, and Anya adjusted to her needs. Anya was able to safely walk both dogs together. It was the puppy’s longest walk so far! Both dogs liked Anya a lot. I would recommend Anya for your pet care needs.

About: Hi! As a small dog owner to my dog, Akele, I know that leaving your pet can be stressful. My goal is to give you total peace of mind while you're away. I bring a strong background in structured caretaking, so following specific medical instructions, feeding schedules, or quirky bathroom habits is second nature to me. From daily walks and playtime to overnight companionship, I'll ensure your pet stays happy, safe, and entirely in their comfort zone. I have a highly flexible schedule and am fully available for pet care on Saturdays and Sundays. I can also accommodate weekday requests depending on your needs just let me know what works best for you! I am always happy to adjust my day to mimic your pet’s exact routine so they stay comfortable. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet I watch. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I ensure they feel secure, loved, and fully looked after. I strictly follow all special care instructions, keep a very close eye on their needs, and provide plenty of supervised attention.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was very young, growing up with them since I was about 2 years old, and I started actively caring for them on my own at 12. I have experience with many different breeds, from German Shepherds to Yorkshire Terriers, which has helped me understand different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I currently have a well-trained Border Collie and a very sweet cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I’m patient, reliable, and truly love spending time with animals, always making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. My schedule is very flexible! I take dogs to parks, interesting walks, and even the beach if authorized. I have my own transportation with no additional costs. I wake up at 7am for the first walk: 1.5 hours. After that, breakfast time. Second walk around 1 hour after they finish eating. I work while they explore the house freely. Lunch followed by a long walk (2-2.5 hours) to parks or different locations. Dinner and two evening walks (7-8pm and 10pm). Your dog is welcome to sleep in my bed or use their own bed, whatever they prefer—I adapt to their comfort and routine.

Bianca was amazing while my husband and I were away! She was so prompt and followed all our instructions perfectly. She also showed us so much love, care, and patience, especially with our three dachshunds—especially our little guy, who was a bit anxious and timid at first. Dachshunds, especially three, can be a bit of a challenge and can get a little chaotic, but she handled all three with such compassion. She even offered some alternative options when scheduling conflicts came up. Thanks again, Bianca! We’re already looking forward to booking with you again :)

Jennifer has a special relationship with Jolene - 10 minutes before Jenn arrives, always on time, Jolene starts to get excited and ready for her long walk. Rain, Sleet, Snow, Bad Attitudes (the dog) and even in sickness (Jolene is getting old) - Jennifer is here for us.

Veronica took care of our dog while we went to Paris. We ended up getting stuck in Paris two extra days because of the blizzard that hit the northeast. Veronica took our dog to her place so she could make sure she was okay during the storm. She went far beyond what we expected of her. I cannot recommend her enough. Your pet will be in excellent hands with Veronica!

Shannon was absolutely amazing with our 5 year old pitty. She was so thorough at our meet and greet over Quintley’s routine and needs. Shannon was there twice during the day at exactly the time we asked for. She kept me updated with messages and pictures. Her communication is fabulous. There was no question that our pup was in great hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again. The absolute best!!
