Stacie offered lots of pictures and great communication while we were away. It was a relief to know that the dogs were loved and cared for, so we could enjoy our trip.

About: I’ve always been very comfortable around animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I previously worked as a pet sitter caring for a home with 7 cats and understand how important routine, cleanliness, patience, and attention are for pets while their owners are away. I also volunteer with Catsbury Park cat rescue and currently care for 6 cats of my own, so I have experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine since I already care for multiple cats of my own every day. I’m currently available Wednesday evenings, Thursdays, and Fridays for drop-in visits and pet sitting. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and always make sure pets are fed, comfortable, and given attention while their owners are away. I always prioritize creating a calm, safe, and clean environment for every pet I care for. I understand how important routines are for animals, especially cats, and I carefully follow feeding instructions, litter box cleaning, medications if needed, and any special care requests. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and focus on making pets feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owners are away.

About: Currently available as needed. Would provide play time, multiple potty breaks, and walks with my own dogs! Have large yard and tons of toys. I previously worked in a vet office, so giving medication is not a hassle. Dogs can do as they please while supervised. Working in a vet office has provided knowledge of basic cpr, how to help/ prevent a choking incident and how to orally give medication as well as administering vaccines and or insulin. I own many types of pets and would only trust the best for my kiddos, and I know im not alone! All animals deserve great care and love, and I would love to help provide that. Any other questions about me are always welcome:) I am currently home and available at all times! I pick up my kiddos from school at 3 and we are ready to help your furry friends with any of their needs! I have two friendly dogs who love company and two kids to help get their energy out we live on 5.5 acres and love to go for leashed walks along the property!

Adrianna did a wonderful job caring for my dog and two cats while I was away. She was communicative throughout the entire visit and kept me updated, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear she was thorough and attentive to their routines and needs. When I returned, the house was in great order and all of my pets were happy and well cared for. I would absolutely trust her to watch them again in the future.

This was our second time using Karren -- this time we had her stay with our pup in our home for 2 nights. Karren was very caring with our dog during thunderstorms and also was very helpful with making sure our home was secure during it. We appreciate her partnership!

About: I've been lucky enough to have a dog in my life since I was 8 years old, and now I'm 20! My dog is 13 years old, and caring for her has taught me so much about patience and responsibility. She takes multiple medications, so I'm very comfortable with medication schedules and making sure pets receive the care they need on time. I've also looked after other pets for family and friends like my friend's 3 cats, Rocky, Pepper and Sage, during school breaks, and the cutest dog in the world, Abby. These experiences helped me become confident caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs!! I truly love spending time with animals, cuddling, playing, keeping them company, or just making sure they stay active and happy. I'm an outdoorsy person who enjoys hiking and walking, so I'd be happy to take your dog on walks and adventures if needed. I'm reliable, attentive, and comfortable with feeding and following special instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for! I’m planning to have an internship, so I’ll be working full days but will be able to periodically check in on your animals!! I love to play and spend time with them, and you can trust they’re in great hands! My puppy is 13 years old, and is on many medications, has specific feeding times and diet, but she still loves to play and go on walks! I’m super organized and take very good care of her.

Short review, Rita is great. Long review. Rita is extremely professional and takes her responsibilities and commitments extremely seriously. She is open about scheduling conflicts in a way that ensures that the quality of care of your pet won't be compromised. She has been extremely flexible and adapted to meet our needs both scheduling and care wise. During her time with our puppy, she remained extremely responsive and proactively shared photos and updates. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience and highly recommend Rita.

About: I have cared for dogs at every stage of life since I was a child. I am particularly adept at managing litters, having successfully trained multiple puppies at once to encourage good behavior and social confidence. My professional background in restorative practices makes me an exceptionally observant sitter, perfect for pets with anxiety or those needing strict medical recovery protocols. From the specialized needs of a senior to the round-the-clock energy of a new litter, I provide reliable, high-quality care that honors your pet's unique personality. I have three dogs and two cats of my own. I am working a flexible part time job so I have plenty of free time to spend with animals and take care of their needs. I have a fenced in yard and a park nearby that had a fenced in dog area and lots of walking trails. I personally home cook my dogs food so if there are special diet restrictions I have experience. I love spending time bonding with my animals and would put that time into someone else’s pets to make them feel loved and safe whether that’s cuddling, wrestling, playing ball or dog walking.

About: Since a child I had a love and passion for all animals. Neighbors , friends and family members have relied on me to walk and watch their fur babies while they were away or just to come over to spend time. I find joy caring and loving all animals . The same way your fur baby will bring me joy my duty is to always make your fur baby feel safe and comfortable your fur baby will always have a good time with me and will come home happy. “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.”By anonymous I work from home twice a week and have alot of flexibility. It is a great way to get out the house and exercise while having fun a loving time with a fur baby . I accommodate your pet surroundings and where the caregivers feel is most comfortable for their pet throughout their home or in the community . I meet your fur baby where they are with their comfortability .I am very flexible and understanding to all situations .I adjust to the pet comfortability and their surroundings that make sure they feel safe.

Margaret was great caring for our babies Faith and Hope. When we came home from 8 days in Italy our pups were happy to see us but not anxious. This was a first for us. From the minute they met Margaret they took to her! Margaret cared for and respected our home which was an added plus! We will definitely call on her again and hopefully she will be available.😁

Natalie was so great watching our dog Otto! She kept him on his normal schedule, took him on his long walks, and gave him lots of love and attention while we were away. We felt at ease with lots of updates, pictures, and communication, and really appreciated the time and effort she put in to taking care of him! She also kept everything so clean. Would definitely book her again!

About: Since as long as I can remember I have owned and been around dogs. I even taught my own dogs how to swim! I currently work at a pet resort where I interact with all different breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs. I value showing dogs love and comfort. I’d love to do the same for your pets! Pet care can fit into my schedule around my college classes that leave me with hours worth of breaks and weekend availability. Currently my work schedule is very slow so I’m not getting crazy amount of hours. I’d love to use my free time for a good cause! I have a fenced in play area that is perfect for running or just strolling around. My doggies love to even take naps under the trees when it’s warmer outside. Additionally for in client home I am able to crate any pets if needed. I can play with them/walk them etc. I am able to feed dogs, give medicine, whatever is needed I can do!
