About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. We had small dogs and large dogs that had strict training schedules, so I have experience. I also have trained my dog from a puppy! I am available anytime! Just message me and I will be happy to be flexible with your schedules. Even if it’s last minute, don’t hesitate to ask! I have a very friendly large dog that can come along if you want a playmate for your dog! Your dogs happiness and health are my number one priority

About: My first job as a young teen was training a puppy. I've had dogs my whole life, and as we have been in a dog free life season the past four years, I thought why not offer our amazing back yard and home to help others who need sitting services. When I had to leave my dog in a kennel several years ago, he was so stressed out when we got back home from our trip. He shredded his bedding. It took a week for him to calm down. I'm happy to provide a less stressful environment for you dog. I am able to run home on my lunch break. I have a big house and five kids. We love meeting new pets and making them feel at home while away from home. Custom feeding schedule, bed time routine, six or more potty breaks a day, .....whatever you normally do at home. I only accept a client if I am available to do so.

About: I have taken care of all sort of animals my whole life. I know how to deal with their temperaments and stress. I’ve never lived without having dogs and I am always the type of person to take a dog in that I find from the street. I have dealt with strays so I don’t just have experience with well trained dogs. I have also watched over peoples dogs for a while and I started walking dogs since I was 9. My grandma had a community that she lived at and I loved dogs so much that I would walk them for free. My passion for dogs will never go away. I currently work front desk at a hotel. I work Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. I am able to walk dogs those days but only before 1 pm. Thursdays and Fridays I am totally free. And depending on the location, I can also do Saturdays. I currently have 2 dogs and they get walked once a day during the night. I also feed them a little differently than usual. I include green beens into their food as well as other healthy powdered ingredient so they are getting the right nutrition. I am fine with watching dogs at the clients home or mine. The only problem with my home is that I already have 2 dogs of my own. So the dog would have to get along with other medium sized mutts. When I have taken care of pets in another persons home, I like having a specific list so I know what’s best for the dog. I’m able to abide by any rules and I don’t mind if the dog needs extra care. I am up for it.

About: I am responsible, respectful, and reliable. I have taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. I’m not going to let you down. I am semi retired and available most days. I do have some physical limitations, but we can address them as needed if that would be an issue. I can just let them out and check for food and water, I can take them for a walk, and I can work with special needs. The idea is that you feel comfortable knowing that you’re pet is safe and happy.

About: I've been taking care of dogs for probably 20 years. From puppies to my senior boy I have now. I'm experienced in giving oral medications and am capable of following instructions if your pet has a more complex feeding process I'm working part time and with summer coming will have more free time with school being out. I do have two kids so I couldn't do all day pet care but I am able to fit other services into my schedule. I never leave pets outside unattended or unsupervised in a home. I am very diligent about making sure anything harmful to a pet us put away where they cannot access it and I'm always inspecting toys to make sure they are still safe for play.

“Caitlin was a fantastic cat sitter!!! She sent me daily updates and pictures which was so fun to see while I was out of town. She is clearly an animal lover and I totally trust her with my cats. She’s friendly, professional and did exactly what I asked her to do care wise… It gave me tremendous peace of mind to know the animals were well cared for!”



“Was nervous to leave our little bunny, Buttercup, with someone we we had never met but Marissa was absolutely wonderful! She offered to stop by to meet us and to meet buttercup, and to get a walk-through of his schedule, prior to our trip. She was here every day at the time we agreed upon and kept the house locked up each time she left. She kept us updated throughout our stay with updates, messages, etc. She kindly reached out and offered to come a little earlier on the one or two days where we ended up with a longer stretch between visits, just to make sure he wasn’t alone or without food/water for too long. Overall she was just very kind and responsible, and the experience exceeded our expectations! Would definitely use her again next time we need someone! Thanks again Marissa!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for all animals, combined with a commitment to providing personalized care. I understand that each pet has unique needs and preferences, so I take the time to build a bond with them, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable during my visits. Whether it's an energetic dog needing a brisk walk or a shy cat craving gentle attention, I tailor my approach to suit their individual personalities, making me more than just a sitter—I'm a trusted friend. Currently, I'm pursuing a nursing degree in college, which gives me a flexible schedule that I can tailor to fit your pet's needs. Balancing my studies with a part-time job, I'm able to create a schedule that prioritizes the well-being and care of your furry friends. Respecting your home is as important to me as caring for your pets. You can trust that I'll treat your space with the utmost care and consideration, leaving it exactly as I found it. I also offer a unique advantage: my own home is tailored to working with animals, providing a safe and fun environment. My friendly Golden Retriever loves to play and socialize, making your pet feel right at home. Above all, safety is my number one priority, followed closely by respect and responsibility, ensuring peace of mind while you're away.

“Nicole was great - she helped out so much!”


About: I have experienced every step of Animal Care; from my first childhood dog birthing a litter of pups, to end-of-life care more recently with my family dog. Let me know what makes your critter happy, and know that your pooch is in loving, warm hands. I have cared for dogs 3/4s of my 35 years on this planet and even moved a dog back acquired internationally off of the streets of Beirut, Lebanon with a previous girlfriend and trained obedience into the street dog, and to be accustomed to a more sedentary American-Style home living. I am currently shifting from a sales career in finance to a tech career, and am spending some quality time with my parents in Appley Valley for a few months outside of Mt. Vernon before I rewire my focus back to an intensive career-oriented work environment. I am holding off on a full-time job and would love to take care of your pet and give them all of my attention and focus whenever you need me, even if it's an emergency. I have no other work engagements currently as I'm taking two months to catch up with my folks while I transition to a new firm. I have a finished basement apartment underneath a 2600 sq ft. ranch, where your animal children are welcome to relax on my furniture and enjoy an acre of wooded land and a 10-minute drive to Bark Park outside of Appley Valley Lake Community. I can travel and my car is dog-friendly if your creature likes to socialize or play at any of the local parks or dog parks. If your pooch needs a Paw-Wash or "the Works" I have a walk-in shower where we can have your puppy smelling "so fresh and so clean" upon returning the critter to your domicile.

About: I’ve had a dog my whole life and would love to have one now if I were in a more permanent situation. I have dog sat a number of times, both big and small dogs, old and young! I’ve stayed at their home as well as dropped in to give them company and go on walks, whatever is best for you! I’m a college student looking to care for your best friend when you aren’t able to! I am a full time student and work part time, but I am home during mid hours of the day, and most afternoons and weekends! I have a fenced in yard and spacious living room. I live in a safe apartment area, and having four awesome roommates ensures at least one person is home during the day.

About: Taking care of animals is just something I love to do, your animals will be in good hands with me. Taken out, fed and given water anytime they need it. I would love to know some things your animals like so I can make sure they don’t feel lonely while you are gone. The last thing I want is your animal to feel lonely or abandoned while you are out. I can adjust my prices to whatever you need. Need to pay less that’s alright I can work with you on that. Taking care of animals is just something I love. Any animal at all, cats,birds,dogs, bunnies or guinea pigs. Anything at all I would love to take care of them ! Im currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to come play with your pups. Im so excited to meet your pups :) I will be letting them out, making sure they get there food and water at the appropriate time & lots and lots of playtime. If you have anything special you want me to do just let me know !

About: Hi there, I ever since I was a kid I've loved animals. As a child I joined 4-H with my dog by my side. I currently have a dog, a cat and a betta fish. But at one point in my childhood we had 4 dogs and 3 cats if you can believe it! I have plenty of experience taking care of pets. You won't have to worry about your furry friends with me.
