About: I’ve taken care of dogs a few years ago. However, I love animals and would be a great pet sitter. I’ve worked at a doggy spa cleaning after dogs and sitting them. Unfortunately, I don’t have a fenced yard. However, I will keep the pet inside or in the yard of course always keeping an eye on them. Making sure they don’t cross over to neighbors yard. Due to COVID, I have been working from home. Unfortunately I would have to go back to the office. However I’m available for boarding on the weekends and on some holidays. I just ask pet owners to shoot me a text and I can confirm if available. Unfortunately, I don’t have a fenced yard. However, I will keep the pet inside or in the yard of course always keeping an eye on them. Making sure they don’t cross over to neighbors yard.

“Amber was great! She updated me on my 2 cats while I was out of town and they were perfectly taken care of. I would definitely recommend her!”


About: In the past, my Aunt had 2 dogs that I absolutely loved taking care of. I would willingly bathe them, play with them, walk them, and even pick up their poop sometimes! I also really enjoyed practicing some training techniques that I was able to help her implement. Getting to know your dog and you are my top priority-your interactions can tell me everything I need to know! I have recently graduated High School, and am looking for a part time job that I love, and that is flexible so that I can continue moving forward starting my college career I find that caring for a pet in a familiar environment is extremely beneficial to your pets-it causes them less stress, and gives you peace of mind! It gives me the ability to keep them following their normal routines within their normal space, and still making sure that they are happy and safe.

About: Hi! I love dogs and treat them as if they were my children. I grew up with dogs in the household. From having a husky, shih-tzu, and now 2 havanese! I have 17 years of experience and I dogsit my family's pets frequently. I work mostly from home allowing me to have as flexible schedule. I take out my own dogs multiple times throughout the day for potty. I can do daily walks as I try to take my own out as much as possible. I have two friendly dogs- one is very playful and loves meeting other furbabies. I live in a townhouse where there's space to take out the dogs in the yard. Your dog will be in great hands! I work mostly from home, so I have a flexible schedule. This allows me to walk the dogs throughout the day and keep an eye on them. I have two friendly dogs, one loves to play! I can crate if desired. I also have 2 levels in my home where I can separate them if needed.

“Magdalena, as always, took great care of our cat, now helping administer a daily pill in addition to everything else. He is clearly very happy when she visits. Thanks so much!”


“Sabrina is kind, flexible, and my dogs love her! She is responsive and reliable!”


About: I have many years of experience as a responsible animal owner who cares very deeply about helping them live their best life. I have had puppies through senior dogs and am reliable in helping your furry friend stay on their schedule as much as possible. After the first week of June 2024, I am available this summer during any day and/or night. Since I work in the school system, I have an open schedule during the summer time. I live in a low-traffic safe neighborhood. I will create a comfortable and safe space for your pet to stay while sticking to your pet's regular feeding and exercise routine as much as possible.

About: I worked at a doggy daycare so I’m reasonably confident in my ability to handle dogs of varying breeds and temperments and ages! I’m also not a person who’s scared around dogs, just cautious. I work part time sunday monday and tuesday at Fedex so wednesday thursday and friday would fill out the rest of my week hanging out with pets! I love playing with dogs and giving them the attention needed. I can feed them, I’m capable of following instructions, including medical instructions. I don’t have any experience poking pets with needles for medicine, but I can do pills and topical sprays and other things like that!

About: Hi, I’m Q! I’ve always had a special connection with dogs and am known for being calm, patient, and understanding with them. I truly believe dogs have beautiful souls, and I treat every one I care for like family. I share my home with Aldi, my sweet and playful 2‑year‑old goldendoodle who loves making new friends. He’s incredibly dog‑friendly and will happily keep your pup company for playtime, walks, and plenty of snuggles. Your dog will enjoy our fully fenced yard, perfect for safe outdoor play and exercise. Inside, we keep a comfortable, pet‑friendly space. My parents do smoke in the kitchen, but there is a fan running at all times and air filters in place to keep the home fresh and clean. What your dog can expect: • A fun playmate in Aldi for social dogs • Plenty of walks, yard time, and cuddle sessions • A clean, dog‑friendly home with safety and comfort in mind • Consistent updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away I can’t wait to welcome your dog into our pack and make sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently home full-time and also taking care of my dog and would love some extra company. My dog and I enjoy walks to the park and around the neighborhood. We also occasionally go hiking as well. I have some tick spray, but you might want to provide your own. I have a fenced in yard and a dog friendly home. I am very respectful, neat, and detail oriented and will accommodate for your dog’s special needs. I must add, however, that there are ducks in the backyard. Unless the dog is very aggressive, it shouldn’t be a problem.

About: Who said diamonds were a girls best friend?! Moving away from my pup was easily one of the lows of my college experience! I'm a recent college grad from Temple University and I work in journalism in CT. With this being said, mornings, and evenings during the week, and any time on weekends are great for me! I'm able to care for small to medium sized dogs, and puppies. Whether your dog is rambunctious & active or mellow & likes naps it’s no problem for me. I'm able to feed, play and watch over your dog and I know of a lot of great dog parks:) For your own piece of mind I'll keep you updated around how the day is going, and send pictures by the hour of your furry friend. I'm quick to respond to inquiries so if you have any questions/concerns or last minute requests please don't hesitate to reach out! I have my own cockapoo and his name is Bentley! Although he lives at my parents house I have a lot of experience in basic pet care. I always treat any home as if it’s my own. If you have any specific requests just let me know of course . . .

“Fed and walked my boys. Thank you for taking care of them!”


About: I got my first dog when I was 12 years old. Her name is baby and she is a Shih Tzu. She’s 16 now and is the most beautiful happy little girl. When baby was eight years old, we got our cat Kovu. Kovu and her bonded very quickly. Kova is a silly and friendly little boy. A stranger can pick him up and he’d let that stranger steal him. When she was 10, we got my sister’s dog wicket another Shih Tzu and he’s about to be six years old and is the cutest sweetest calmest little boy. Then two years ago I was blessed with my beautiful poodle mix arrow. He is a goofy high energy, vocal boy completely different from my other two. All of my dogs are well trained, and my two Shih Tzu’s love other dogs. Mondays and Wednesdays I’m available 10 AM to 5 PM, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays I’m available 10 AM to 8 PM, and Sunday, I am unavailable until after 1 PM due to having church in the mornings. I am very scheduled when it comes to my own pets. I let my dogs out first thing in the morning to go potty around 8 AM, make sure they and the cat have fresh clean water, I give them food, then I let the dogs rest for about 30 minutes and let them out again. I always check my cat litter box to make sure it’s nice and scooped clean. And give it a deep clean once a week or earlier if needed. I take my dogs out every two hours and let them play for about 30 minutes to an hour depending on their energy level for that day, I also give them interactive toys to mentally exercise them, then at 6 PM I feed them dinner, let them digest for 30 minutes, and again take them outside to poop and pee. I will be willing to follow a schedule that the pet owner is comfortable with. I am not argumentative since I am going to be in your home. I will follow the rules that you have in place. I don’t have a car right now, but I’m willing to take lifts to your homes and take your dogs for however long of a walk you need.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid—feeding, walking and giving lots of love. Friends, family and neighbors have trusted me with dogs, cats, and house sitting for years. I now care for my own pets full-time and truly understand the responsibility and joy that comes with it. Whether it’s playtime, a check-in, or an overnight stay, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet’s care. Whether it’s a midday walk, an evening check-in, or weekend boarding I’m available to fit your pet’s routine. I’m currently not working full-time, so your pets will get my full attention, affection, and consistent care throughout the day. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, respect, and love. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or during visits, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all instructions carefully, from feeding to medications to special quirks. I’m detail-oriented, tidy, and always focused on creating a calm, positive environment your pet can thrive in.

About: Easily able to connect with animals; dog owner for 7+ years. Cat owner since my first birthday. When it comes to taking care of other peoples pets, I've just recently started, although I wish I had much sooner. Pet care will fit into my calendar any time of the day up until September. I’m just looking to meet some new furry faces and make a little extra cash before I go off to basic training. My dogs are trained, however they do bark at the occasional by-passer out of curiosity. I also have two cats; one was practically trained by the other. In all seriousness, my animals love people (NOT other animals though).

Lailah C.
“Having the pleasure of being able to hang out with Lailah, she’s proven to me through her kind, diverse, accepting, and supportive, demeanors that being such a person while having their own struggles doesn’t have to feel like homework. I personally have grown by meeting Lailah, through her actions and words of advice I’ve grown as a person myself. With her recent successes that I’ve had the pleasures of being there for, like her award for awareness for her powerfully written article in societal issues translated into the student body and advocacy of wrong, growing, social norms for those who were oppressed by them; I feel that she is a no brainer. Speaking OF brains, with her explanations and brightness in knowledge of caretaking of her own beautiful cat (Cleo short for Cleopatra) and her seemingly endless amount and variety of plants, she’s taught me specifics and and general understandings, skills, techniques, etc on how to care for my own companions. My cat and I are more closer than ever. She undoubtedly an exponential mental experience and understanding in caring for animals through her own companions she used to have, animal and plant wise, and the one’s she has now, Cleo and plants. I’m remembering that she pet a bee once, in-front of me.. while I was freaking out about it.. while she was telling me how it’s okay to do so when you’re just not being a bad person to it. Excuse my probably Non-brief-ness about this! ButI really believe that Lailah is undoubtedly a responsible and loving pet caregiver and people person.”
