I prepare fresh meals daily for my pack, and while your dog is here, they’ll enjoy a portion alongside their own food.

About: I have owned and loved dogs and cats all my life, and I can’t wait to get to know yours! I am excited to take your furry friend on my adventures around town. I will walk, run, bike, or skateboard with your dog - whichever will get your dog’s tail wagging the fastest! I also love to spend time outdoors and would be thrilled to have a four-legged companion to accompany me on my hikes. As a bonus, I have played tennis since I was 7 years old, so I am an expert when it comes to playing fetch with tennis balls.

I am fully available any time after 3:30pm when I get off of work every day (I am a carpenter!). I am available any time on the weekends! Whatever safety rules you have for your pets, they will become my safety rules! I am very serious about trust and safety, and I will always make sure you feel comfortable ensuring your pet’s care to me. Whatever your pet needs, let me know!

About: I am generally not afraid of dogs, being able walk, run, and play with a dog always brightens my day. I use to take care of puppies and adult dogs in my spare time after school and I would make sure to feed them, take them out for walks, play with them and pick up after them when needed. I am not working right now so looking after a dog is a good way to pass the time for me, not mention being out of the house and getting a decent amount of exercise. I will take great responsibility in taking care any dog that is under my care, I'll respect the owners rules and do my best to satisfy the customer and their needs

About: As a current pet store employee, I’m constantly refreshing my knowledge on all animals so that I can better help any pet parents that come in. This includes staying up to date on care and training practices, as well as knowing what products are useful and needed and when they may be needed. I also work closely with the grooming and training team, so I have a bit of knowledge in those areas as well! As a college graduate with a biology degree who’s main focus was on animals of all kind, I take animal care very seriously. I constantly am reading up on care and learning to understand animal body language as best as humanly possible. My animals mean the world to me, and I know others feel the same way about theirs. If theres any way I can assure people their pets and comfortable and safe while they’re away, that’s what I try to do. I am very vigilant while I am watching any type of pet, meaning I’m always making sure they are not getting into anything they shouldn’t, that they are properly restrained when outside of the home, and that they are living in a clean home while I am there. Cats litter boxes scooped daily, dogs walked daily and well engaged in activity, and any other pets properly cared for as well.

“Brandon did a great job caring for our dog while on a trip. He was very kind and our dog loved him! Even our cat warmed up to him quickly. He double checked our doors too when I was paranoid. Would book with Brandon again.”

About: I have been a loving dog person since childhood. I was born on a farm and have always had an affinity for animals. When I got my own place, I got my own dog, a Bernadoodle named Olive. Unfortunately, she passed away in a freak accident while in the care of her groomer. About a year later I got Chowdie! But there was a long time where I didn’t see myself getting another pet, and being the only dog-less person in my friend group, became the go-to person for all of my friends and coworker’s for weekend pet-sitting! Given the trauma of losing my own pet, it is well known that I will go out of my way to ensure the safety of any pet around me. I have an awesome yard and all the best toys to ensure a fun and active stay. The cost of my services are higher than average because the experience your dog will have at my house is just that. Who doesn’t want their dog to have a fun weekend get-away while their owner does too?? I am generally available for boarding on weekends only. I own a business that is very demanding on the weekdays, however I can be made available for weekdays in special circumstances! I have a decent sized house and fenced in yard. We have a sun room that is dedicated to containment if that is something your dog prefers. To maintain structure and safety for your pup in a different environment, we do contain them there at night, in or out of the crate per your request. We generally do at least two walks at the park per day and do some brain training and outside play an additional 1-2 hours depending on age. The remainder of the time is naps and snuggles!!

“Jessica does such a great job with our large breed! She keeps us updated with lots of pictures and we know he is in good hands when we are away!”

About: I would love to be there for your friend when you can not be. Living with my best friend Peanut a Bichon I know how important it is to ensure our animal friends are in the best care. I don't know what I'd do without him. I am an animal rights advocate and love our little furry angels so much that I am caring for them full time now. I am self employed and am adding this to my artist work. This makes it possible for me to work around others schedules as best as I can or even for a last minute sitting need. I don't leave my dog outside alone and would do the same with yours. I consider dogs as toddlers in a way smart but needing guidance and protection to keep them safe. I can accommodate any requests for in your home, for outings, and for boarding at my house. I have one dog living with me now and would separate them if there was any issues. Peanut is very playful at a year and a half and not aggressive.

About: Hello! I am passionate about all animals and know how important good quality pet care is. I used to walk dogs in Boston and have a lot of experience in this area. I have owned dogs all my life and consider myself very experienced with different breeds and sizes. I will also accept dog walking and drop in visits for puppies that are learning how to be trained as well as being available to give medication if they need it. While your dog is being walked or sat by me, they will be treated as I would treat my own dog, as I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. Please rest assured that your dog will be cared for and will have a fun time while in my care! I am currently not working, so I am flexible in my schedule in providing care. The care for your pet can be customizeable to them. I will care for your pets like they are my own! I will also communicate with you so you can feel comfortable in knowing they are okay.

About: I've taken care of dogs most of my life. My friends jokingly call me the dog whisperer. I have experience with everything from potty training to surgical rehab and medicine administration. Nighttime visits and Long walks are no sweat. I'm also very neat and clean so any messes made by your pups are no problem at all. My schedule is currently open 7 days a week. If for any reason I am not available pet owners will be made aware before scheduling any services. I recently lost both my pups to cancer. Thorn was almost 15, and my girl Rain was almost 13. Being around other dogs is helping me cope with their loss. My home yard is very large (over an acre), and fully fenced in. Dogs also don't have any furniture restrictions in my home. They're welcome to sit or sleep wherever they like. If sitting in your home I abide by your rules for everything. Dinner time, kinds of treats, or walks schedules are all set by you.

About: I love all kinds of animals. I’ve owned and cared for dogs cats rabbits pigeons exotic parrots saltwater fish. Let me help you with your babies. I am retired and available most days to help you out with your fur babies. I have experience with dogs from miniature pincher size to Rottweilers German Shepherd‘s and bullies. At my home I have a stoned kennel area for “bathroom“ activities and a large fenced in yard for playtime. I also enjoy walking pets on leash

About: I’ve always been an animal lover. When I was a child I had all sorts of different pets. I had fish, hamsters, gerbils, lizards and rabbits. When I got older I had a family dog named Lulu who I helped house brake and train as a pup when I was in high school. When I became an adult I adopted my dog Weston who I’ve had and trained since he was an eight week old puppy. I’m very confident in my ability to help house train your young dog if need be. I understand how much stimulation and exercise they require. I’m happy to provide that through long walks, trips to the dog park and general outings. I have lots of chew toys around and ways to keep feisty puppies occupied. I’ve fostered cats as well as taken care of neighbors’ kittens including providing feedings and litter box cleaning when necessary. I’ve always wanted to have a parrot as a pet so if you have birds that need care I’d appreciate the opportunity to come help out and learn more about them :). I’m currently a full time pet sitter. I have a dog of my own as well. I will be available all hours of the day and night to care for your animal(s). I’m happy to spend the extra time taking puppies in training as well as senior dogs outside as much as they need. I have a friendly golden doodle named Weston to keep your pup company. I’m happy to help house brake puppies as well as provide care for senior animals.
