Pet Sitting Maplewood

About: Hi! I am a stay-at-home mom of a human baby and two fur babies. I previously worked in upstate NY for a dog training company, My Dog Hikes, as a dog hiker where we took dogs from NYC into the woods for full day dog-care fun. Because of this I am comfortable giving medication and using training commands. I also have a Cattle Dog (Clayton) and Black Lab mix (Tarzan) of my own. I would love to take your little ones on the trails, play fetch in the yard, or just snuggle on the couch with lots of pets. I have a very open schedule so can work around any timeframe you need! As childcare is very expensive, please note before booking me that my son, Eli (3), will be joining me on my jobs. We can always meet beforehand to see if it's a good fit! Additionally - I do not accept requests for recurring weekly services and prefer them to be sporadic. As I am a stay-at-home mom your typical work week is when I am available. I can be flexible around your schedule! I can also stop by to spend some time with your pets on the weekend, so you can go enjoy a trip away. (: I do not care for dogs in my own home as my Lab does not like other dogs. In your home, however, I take care to follow all instructions closely! I take many pictures so prepare for cuteness overload. I also have experience working with a dog training/walking company in NYC and am comfortable with a wide array of needs.

“Our dogs absolutely loved Sarah! We were able to enjoy the concert we went to completely worry-free. Our dogs are pretty high maintenance, which was no issue for Sarah. Even our over-excitable guy gave her no trouble. They had great playtime with her in the backyard and we could see on the camera that they were sad when she left. Will definitely work with her again in the future!”

“Bobbie is amazing. I will NEVER have anyone else watch my Cassie girl. She loves my girl like her own and I know that Cassie is being loved on and taken care of.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for friends and family since I was 16. This includes daily watching or housesitting/pet sitting for extended periods of time. There is nothing I enjoy more than bonding with animals and being a source of safety and comfort when their humans are away! I currently work from home and can be available to work from various locations! My workload varies day to day but often provides ample break times! I provide pet care in the home of others by following the established rules and wishes of the pet owner to a T. I like to keep pets on their already established routines and ensure they are receiving the same love and care their human would give! This also includes whatever chores are required while in the home as well.

“Anne is amazing! She has been checking on my house and I really appreciated her help with a situation while I was away. 100% recommend booking her for drop ins.”

About: I moved from Mi to Wa in 2015 and decided in 2018 to be a dog walker. That was in King county and after moving to a house in 2021, dog boarding turned into my new side job. Last year I also enrolled in Victoria Stilwell’s Academy for positive training. So I am very aware of dog’s body language and needs. I absolutely love dogs and they are truly my life now but when I was 8 that wasn’t the case. I was bit in the face by a family friend’s dog. He was old and on medication, I startled him awake which led to him biting me. From this incident, I watched Victoria Stilwell on animal planet to get over my fear of bigger dogs and here I am today with a certification in dog training and starting my career with human’s best friend. My goal is for you and your dog to be as comfortable as possible. I only treat dogs/pets as I would want someone to treat mine (and believe me I am a high maintenance pet mom 😉) Dogs are my job. Whether it is boarding, sitting, or walking; this is what I do full time. Sometimes I do Instacart to get out a bit but will do that when my boyfriend is home. I am starting up my bath bomb business again so to have a companion working alongside with me is my ideal work day. My boyfriend works from home majority of the time, so there is always someone home. His kids do come over 50% of the week and are very kind and helpful with dogs that are boarding with me. They are 12 and 11 so they aren’t little kids. I have lick mats, Kong Gyro, and plenty of space for your dog to have fun at my house. My house is fenced in, we are updating the property all the time to make sure it is safe as possible. For larger dogs, I have a bell on a ziptie to put on your dog’s collar just so I can hear where they are at all times when I am outside with them. For smaller pups, I always go outside with them due to being in an open area so they are safe. I also have a 30’ leash that I can hook them to for extra safety. Inside, I make them as comfortable as possible. Whatever they like at home I try my best to provide at my house.

About: Hi! My name is Taylor, and I’m a passionate animal lover with 5 years of hands-on pet care experience. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I currently have 3 dogs, 1 cat, and 5 chickens of my own! My experience goes far beyond caring for my own pets. I’ve worked at two dog daycares and as a groomer, where I gained experience caring for dogs with a wide variety of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, dogs with intense anxiety, and dogs who need a little extra patience, reassurance, and one-on-one attention. I’ve also administered medications and am comfortable following specific care instructions to make sure every pet gets exactly what they need. I have extensive experience with cats as well, including kittens, senior cats, cats requiring medication, and even feral cats. I’m FetchFind certified, which taught me a lot about animal behavior and communication, and I’m currently completing two animal behavior certifications through Washington State University, where I’m learning more about animal behavior, including both canine and feline behavior. I especially love working with animals who need a little extra love and understanding. Whether your pet is nervous, elderly, energetic, shy, independent, or simply takes some time to warm up, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and give them the individualized care they deserve. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your animals like they’re my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, enrichment, and care! 🐾❤️ I’ll be attending school part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule to dedicate time to caring for your pets. I’m able to work my school schedule around my pet-care bookings and make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. I’m looking forward to spending my free time with your babies, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, enrichment, or simply keeping them company! 🐾❤️ When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, playtime, enrichment, and any specific routines or preferences your pet has. I’ll give them plenty of attention and companionship while also respecting their space if they’re more independent or need time to warm up. I’m also very respectful of my clients’ homes. I’ll keep things clean and tidy, make sure doors and gates are secure, and treat your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Since I’ll be attending school part-time, I’ll have plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to your pets and make sure they aren’t simply being checked on, but are receiving meaningful one-on-one care throughout my visits. 🐾❤️

About: Hello! I have owned dogs for the past 10 years, and have been dog sitting for 5 years. My goal is to keep them happy and healthy. I will treat every dog in my care like my own. Hello! I have a full-time job and offer services to care for or walk dogs on the side. I have a collie mix named Sadie who has taught me a lot as a dog owner. I love all pets especially dogs, and it is a joy to see a smile on a dog’s face. I treat every dog in my care like my own in that I believe the physical and mental health is important to a happy dog. It can be a little stressful for a dog to be in a new environment with a new person, so I like to keep their routine the best I can.

“Bronwen did a fantastic job taking care of our 2 cats while we were away! She was reliable, a great communicator, and expertly handled each of the cat's unique needs. You can trust that your pets will be in great hands while you are gone!”

About: Being a dog owner is a constant source of joy and responsibility. The day begins with the enthusiastic welcome of a wagging tail, setting a positive tone. Daily walks are not just exercise but moments of exploration, where every leaf and lamppost become sources of fascination. Mealtime is a celebration, with the rhythmic sound of a tail thumping against the floor. Regular grooming sessions, from brushing to occasional baths, are a shared experience that reinforces our bond. The unconditional love and loyalty reflected in those soulful eyes make the effort of dog care a rewarding and heartwarming commitment. While my days may lack the physicality of a routine, assisting pet owners like you is a constant in my virtual realm. I'm here to offer timely advice on feeding schedules, grooming practices, exercise routines, and any other aspect of pet care you seek guidance on. Think of me as your virtual companion, ready to help integrate the well-being of your furry friends seamlessly into your daily or weekly schedule. Whether it's a quick tip or a detailed plan, I'm just a message away, ensuring that pet care aligns harmoniously with your life. Caring for pets in a home is a harmonious blend of responsibility and joy. It begins with creating a cozy space, where their bed becomes a sanctuary and their favorite toys add a playful touch. Daily routines include nourishing meals, regular walks, and moments of interactive play that forge a strong bond. Grooming sessions become a ritual of care, ensuring their coats shine and nails stay trim. Beyond the basics, it's the shared moments on the couch or a reassuring pat that make a home truly pet-friendly. In every wag of the tail and purr of contentment, the art of caring for pets transforms a house into a haven filled with love and companionship.

“Thank you so much! You were very professional and caring.”
