“Kylie was great with both of my dogs who need to be kept separated, and I was able to trust her with that while I was out for a few hours. We will definitely be using her services again and my dogs will be very happy to see her again!🐾”


About: Dogs and cats are better company than humans most days! I would love to hang out with your animals and keep them company. I’m a college student who misses her animals at home so I’ll be happy to spend as much time with your animals as you need. I have two dogs and two cats at home, and have always had animals in my home. I’m pretty comfortable with cleaning up after potty training accidents. My aunt had four Great Danes so I have experience around big dogs. No dog is too big or small for me! My last dog lived to 18 so I have experience with old pups, and puppies also. My schedule is open. During the fall and winter, I will have less time. Weekdays, during the morning and afternoon are open! As the fall and winter progress, I will update my schedule since I will be going back to school. My partner and I are currently renovating our home so our house is not open for care. I would be more comfortable with walking your furbaby, or caring for them at your home once we have met!

About: Even since I was 4 years old I’d walk my neighbors dogs and hang with them lol! I love animals and so do my kids. Ive had my own dog since I was 13 years old and she’s my baby before I had babies. I’ll treat your dog like my own and we’d love to have them in our home. Thank you! :) I’m a stay at home mom so I’ll be with your fur babe most if not all of the time. I’m available any day or night! I have a fenced in yard so your dog can run freely and safely in my yard when we’re out there together (I never leave dogs unattended outside I will always be out there with them). Whatever you need or whatever your preferences are, just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate you and your fur baby! Thank you for reading and I hope to hear from you soon! :)


“Colleen is fantastic! She is very professional and easy-going, I did not have any concerns whatsoever about having her do drop-in visits with my cat. Definitely would book again!”


About: Over 20 years of experience with pets- I trained my very first dog at only 10 years old! I grew up with a Great Pyrenees and am experienced with large / xl breeds. I absolutely love dogs and animals in general. I have two precious dogs of my own currently who I love more than anything. I’d be thrilled to care for your dog! I work remotely full time as a software engineer! Your pets are welcome to hang out with us for the day when you’re busy. Weekends I can provide even more active care since I have the days off. I have a fenced in yard but depending on your pets needs I can take them out on leash still. I let the dogs out to play frequently, every 2-4 hours.


About: Welcome! I am a veterinary health care student with 10+ years of experience between working with and owning a variety of pets ranging from dogs, cats, horses, cows, bearded dragons, ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, fish, goats, pigs, sheep, you name it! My services include daily/overnight pet sitting, walking/running, grooming, etc. Nothing would make me happier than having a chance to provide the best care possible for your beloved pet. Thank you very much for your consideration! I have a very flexible schedule and will accommodate my clients schedule as best as possible. Pet care and sitting is very important to me and I am very dedicated to meeting my clients needs and their pets schedules. With your pets safety being my top priority I have focused these last ten years on becoming equipped with knowledge, experience and ways to help ensure your pets safety. One way I ensure safety is by knowing my clients pets routines, allergies, behavioral issues, commands, and limitations so that I am able to be preventative of any situations that could arise.

“Kat watched our two dogs two weekends in a row. It gave us comfort to know they were with her both times we traveled to provide consistency in such a short period of time. We had great communication during our absence and appreciate Kat's care and professionalism.”



About: You'll never find me texting and calling on my phone when walking your dog. Your dog will have my full attention. If I'm checking in on your dog, I will make it a fun and stimulating visit for your dog. And if there are any issues, I will contact you without hesitation. I've had dogs all my life and currently have a 7 year old Corgi. I lost my 14 year old Lab a year ago and there is a big hole in my heart. I love dogs, but older dogs have a special place in my heart. I have trained several of my dogs to be therapy dogs and have worked with obedience trainers since I was a kid. I've also made a documentary about service dogs and the human/canine bond. Simply put, I'm an equal opportunity dog lover and would love to help you take care of your canine friend.

About: I've been looking after dogs and cats since I was 12! They've ranged from my grandma's shitzu to dog sitting mastiffs! I've even watched reptiles like ball pythons and geckos. I've walked, bathed, fed, watered, and loved them the whole time. I, myself, have 2 bunnies, fish, and a ball python. All together the most dogs I've ever watched at the same time was 28! It was 5 adults dogs, one puppy the equivalent to a toddler, and 22 puppies! At the moment I'm hoping that pet care will become a full-time job. At the moment I am able to do any day and any time. I, sadly, do not have a cute puppy or kitty to play with your fur baby, however it just means they get more love from me! I can lift a 75 pound dog if needed and have the resources to contain one if necessary.

About: Hi, I’m Katie — a lifelong dog lover with a heart for all furry friends! Whether your pup needs a fun walk, cozy overnight care, or just some loving company while you’re away, I’m here to help. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I know just how much they mean to your family. I offer reliable, safe, and tail-wagging good care—whether it’s a gentle stroll for a senior dog or an energetic romp for a playful pup. I’m detail-oriented, communicative, and always treat your dog like one of my own. Let me give you peace of mind while you’re away—because your dog deserves the very best! Can’t wait to meet your four-legged friend! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I’m an early riser and love starting my day with a walk, which makes morning drop-ins and walks easy to accommodate. In the evenings, I enjoy unwinding with neighborhood walks or cuddle time—perfect for overnight stays or evening check-ins. Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy spending my time with animals. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. I always take time to understand each pet’s unique needs, routine, and personality so they feel comfortable and secure. In your home, I respect your space as if it were my own—following all instructions closely, maintaining your pet’s routine, and keeping you updated with messages and photos. If I’m walking your dog, I use secure leashes, avoid unsafe areas, and keep a close eye on their behavior and surroundings. If I’m welcoming your pet into my home, they’ll have a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, play, and cozy rest areas. I never leave pets unattended and make sure they’re always safe, happy, and loved.

About: I have worked as a pet sitter for approximately 3 years. I have worked for a pet sitting service for 2 year in Dalton, Ga. Also have a few clients in New Bedford, ma. I think I sometimes have a better relationship with animals than people, most animals take to me right away. I have sat for dogs, cats, birds, and ducks. I am very dependable and have experience with giving insulin shots to cats and dogs. I will gladly give you exactly what you ask for regarding your pet because I understand how much people cherish their animals .........they are more like people. I have 1 cat and 1 dog of my own and have had ducks, chicken, and birds in my pass. Please contact me so we can talk !....thanks

“Lee was amazing and great to communicate with while watching our 14 week old puppy. He was on time and made Percy feel at ease as soon as they met. If we ever need another puppy sister, he will be my first call”


About: I have been a dog lover my entire life. I grew up in a small neighborhood where I was always the little kid knocking on the neighbors doors to play with their pets. I have crate and potty trained 3 puppies thus far, and cared for dogs with varying disabilities. Additionally, I’ve pet sat for family and friends in their home and my own throughout my adult life. I am very patient with animals and understand they sometimes need to warm up to someone new! I am a remote worker with flexible hours. I currently have an 8yr old goldendoodle that I walk every day around my neighborhood. I love to be outside and play with my pets!m I am very diligent when caring for pets. I prefer to stick to the pet’s normal schedule and make sure they receive enough play time each day if needed. My backyard is fenced-in on 3 sides and safe, however I never take a dog outside without a leash. At my house I allow animals on the couch, not the bed, however I have extra dog beds for nighttime. Of course I will always follow the guidelines set by the clients for their pets in their home and my own!

Tara S.Star Sitter

“Tara was awesome. She came to visit me prior to the first paid visit. She communicated well and didn’t tone with my cat during her visits. Thanks again.”


Leolani K.
“Leolani is a caring responsible young woman with a kind heart. She absolutely loves all animals and is incredibly thoughtful and attentive to the needs of others and animals. She has grown up around all different types of animals. Her home was never without a canine companion or two as well as a few cats. She has experience taking care of many types of animals including but not limited to dogs, cats, horses, bunnies & goats. I would trust her to take care of all of my pets in a heartbeat. I have a dog that is a rescue who was very timid when he first arrived in my home. Leolani formed a special relationship with my pup and he does not cower in fear as he has with so many others. Leolani would be a trustworthy caretaker for any animal.”
