About: Hello, I’m a 27 year old who has loved animals their entire life. Currently I don’t have any pets but while I was younger my family always had animals in the house. I’ve had the pleasure of growing up around dogs and cats. When I moved away from home I started pet sitting for family friends and neighbors. I have pet sat cats, dogs, even a parrot and a snake. I love caring for other people's pets and understand the love and care that is expected when taking on this job. Caring for animals is one of my favorite past times. I currently freelance so my availably is extremely open. That also means your pet will get my full attention for any care they need. I work from home so I will have ample time to care for the pets. I also live walking distance from a park so walks will not be a problem. I don't currently have pets but the way I would care for pets in my home is by paying as much attention as I can to them. Making sure they are well fed, comfortable and relaxed.

“Thomas was excellent, he handled my cat’s medication needs well. We had a blizzard and he showed up through it all, couldn’t be happier with his service. Highly recommended”

About: I have always loved animals but was unable to start owning my own dogs until about 11 years ago. I've had two different pit bulls but have been the proud owner of my Puggle, Mama, for the longest time out of the three. Her owner was about to surrender her to the pound so I jumped in and re-homed her. Over the years, I learned a lot about puppies, walking, training, feeding, dog behavior and veterinary care. My dogs have ranged in age from under one to over 13 so I have experience with dogs of all ages. I am accustomed to walking dogs in all kinds of weather also! I don't have a yard but there is a park very close to my house where I can walk your dog(s). Your pooch will have no shortage of love, companionship and playtime! I also can administer medication if needed. I am currently working from home so I will be able to provide plenty of attention and follow routines with ease. I do go to the gym 4 to 5 times a week and other than that if I leave the house I'm not gone for long. I am able to schedule errands/outings around caring for your pet. I do not have a yard but I live less than a block away from a park that is pet friendly. I am accustomed to walking a dog daily and anticipating his or her needs because I have owned a dog for years. However, my dog Mama, is a semi-permanent resident at my parents' house in Delaware so I am able to provide undivided attention to your pet(s). I don't have children or any other pets in the house. I typically do not allow pets on the couch or in my bed but I can put a cover on the couch if need be and pets can sleep on a dog bed in my room at night.

“Ashlee was an amazing fit for our Banji and our baby took to her very quickly ! The photo updates were amazing, and it was such a joy working with her. We will be booking her again !!”

About: As a dog owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. I have hands-on experience with dogs of different personalities and always take the time to learn each dog’s routine, preferences, and boundaries. I’ve also attended professional dog training classes with my own dog, which has given me a better understanding of canine behavior, safe handling, basic training techniques, and how to stay calm and respond appropriately in unexpected situations. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and bathroom habits. I follow care instructions closely and prioritize safety and clear communication at all times. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic training and reinforcement, grooming, and administering medications when needed. I’m patient with shy or cautious dogs and never force interactions before they’re comfortable. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re in responsible hands. I have a flexible hybrid work schedule and spend most of my week working from home. My mom is also home throughout the week, so there is almost always someone at home with the pets. I typically go into the office from around 9 AM to 4 PM on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This means pets are rarely left alone for extended periods and can enjoy regular potty breaks, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I also do my best to follow each dog’s usual feeding, walking, and sleeping routine so they can feel comfortable and at home during their stay. I share my home with a friendly neutered male cat and a small neutered male poodle. Both are accustomed to other animals. I provide a clean, comfortable home environment and have separate spaces available when pets need quiet time or a little space of their own. Safety is always my priority. I supervise interactions between pets, follow each owner’s instructions closely, and respect every dog’s individual routine and boundaries. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and message updates throughout their stay.

About: Since a child, home has always been made complete with pets, and that is where a genuine love for animals began within me. I’ve been around different breads and ages, from shitzu to pit bull and puppies to seniors, which gave me a broader understanding in the proper care (feeding structure, walking/exercise, pet proofing environments, etc.) and comfort required for each individual pet. The years of experience that I’ve had with these incredible fur babies has led me to ultimately pursuing my passion in helping others care for theirs! I am currently working from home, leaving me with an overall open and flexible schedule. Pet daycare is available Monday-Friday until 6pm (weekends can be further discussed). Also, due to involvement with my home church, Sundays I typically have to leave for a couple hours in the morning, for anyone interested in pet boarding availability. My home is a pet-proofed, cozy house with a spacious, fenced-in backyard, located near a park only a few minutes away walking distance. There aren’t any children nor any pets at home, creating plenty of space for your pet to safely and freely enjoy! While caring for your pets, I always prioritize following their set schedules as well, in regard to their feeding, exercise, potty, rest, and medication (if necessary). I want every owner to feel peace while they are away, so I make sure to provide consistent communication and photos/videos updates throughout the stay!

About: Cant think of time where I haven’t been around a dog. Growing up there was always dogs in the house. It comes easy to me. For my 2 dogs it starts at 345am with their first walk before I head to the gym. There 2nd walk comes at 8am before I start work then again at 2pm for a quick lunch break and their last 2 walks come at 5 and 930pm before settling down for the night. In between all the walking they’ll get breakfast and dinner and some naps. Meet and greet is important along with getting to know the pets needs and routines. Along with likes and dislikes. Knowing what the pet parents wants and expects from visits or boarding.

About: Hello! I’ve been around dogs since kindergarten. I am extremely patient and love dogs more than humans sometimes, I haven’t met a dog that didn’t love me :) I also have owned two senior dogs and a new puppy, so I am well versed on handling different energy levels in dogs. I live in an apartment that has gated yards and a park that is 5 minutes away. I also have a crate if the dog needs one along with a one year old yorkie that is very friendly and energetic. If the dog is reactive and not great around other dogs, I have a family member that I can stay with while your dog is in my possession that is dog free and has a gated front yard the dog can play in. I am currently working part time during the late evenings. The best time for drop offs/pick ups would be in the early morning and afternoon 6am-3pm on Mondays and Thursdays. I am typically off Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays, so pick ups/drop offs work for whenever those days. Fridays and Saturday’s I work in the night time, so pick up/drop offs are ideal anytime before 7pm :) Any other time discrepancies can worked out to accommodate your plans. I take pet care extremely seriously. Each day consists of multiple walks along with play time either in my own home or the dog park and with dog enrichment. Enrichment is crucial because it stimulates a dogs brain and provides entertainment for a while. Dog parks are also essential because it helps the dog interact and play with other dogs

About: What sets me apart is the personalized care and attention I provide to every pet. I understand that every dog and cat has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and specific needs, so I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m comfortable providing basic training reinforcement, exercise, feeding, medication reminders, and attentive care for both young and senior pets. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, still learning the basics, or needs a little extra patience and support as they get older, I adapt my approach to them. I treat every pet as I would my own with patience, consistency, affection, and genuine care. I work remote and part-time. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m able to build walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and quality time into my schedule while maintaining consistency with each pet’s normal routine. I’m also flexible with different schedules and care needs, whether that means an energetic puppy who needs extra activity, a senior pet who needs a slower pace, or a pet who simply needs companionship while their owner is away. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and treat every pet like they’re my own. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and basic training while giving each pet plenty of attention and companionship. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I also take the time to understand each pet’s individual personality, habits, age, and needs so I can provide customized care just as I would for my own pet. I have a small poodle who loves to make new friends, and we can head down to my community dog park downstairs or park up the block. My apartment is dog friendly, spacious, and includes a high fenced balcony for some fresh air. We also share toys if wanted!

“Had a great experience with Riley! Riley took wonderful care of Nyah and Bohdi over the weekend and kept me updated the whole time. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. Riley is very professional and gave Nyah and Bohdi lots of walks and played with them a lot. Nyah and Bohdi were so happy and well cared for. We will definitely be booking Riley again and we highly recommend him!”

About: Our Why? We have Huskies, and while still offering our service to other breeds, we highlight that it takes a fellow Husky owner to understand what a Husky needs. Despite their mischievous shenanigans, Houdini escape attempts, endless fur-sheddings, high-pitched vocalizations, bubbly, energized personalities, and hyperactive frolicking, we adore huskies. We understand finding experienced, dependable, loving, and trustworthy caregivers for your Husky isn't easy. That's why we are here to help. We currently have two friendly young huskies (one male and one female- fixed and crate-trained). We also have experience with English bulldogs, Sharpeis, Chow-Chows, Labs, Doodles, and Boxers. We only offer care for dogs based upon the comfortability of the match to our pet-care style and demeanor. We love our pets as we will love yours. We are focused on weekends, holidays, and summer care. We are open to possible weekday arrangements if your dog is crate-trained. Before booking us, a drop-by visit is required to test the compatibility of all humans and dogs. A few things: Special note-while we have never owned a French bulldog, we are particularly interested in learning to care for this breed. Your pet must be spayed or nurtured to receive boarding in our home. Also, we are sorry but we cannot offer care for full or mixed Pit Bull breeds. How does pet care fit into your daily and weekly lives? Our pets receive two meals a day, comprising dry food and water. Our pets are crate-trained and remain crated when owners are away. Most of the time, there is an adult in the house. Our dogs can access a large fenced backyard with green grass and trees. Our dogs walk with owners through nearby Branch Brooke Park and visit the dog park almost daily. Our dogs are crated during adult meal times and sleep in the main bedroom on the floor, side couch, or end of bed at night. We maintain a clean home and provide puppy pads during inclement weather to avoid mud and chaos. Pets have access to some rooms, but not all rooms in the house. Toys and treats are provided regularly. Linens on beds where animals may sleep are washed and switched out regularly. Our gate is blocked off on both sides because huskies are known for escaping. Our pets have ID collars and ID dog tags and wear GPS trackers during the day. Our dogs are up-to-date on immunizations and have been spayed/neutered. We don't hit our dogs with our hands or objects but use basic word commands. Training dogs is always a work in progress. They are both loved for their uniqueness. We only plan to care for pets in our home. We have a large and welcoming home.

About: I've been a cat mom for four years now, so I know what it means to have your cat in the best care so that your mind is at ease while you're away from them. My Cat Lavender is a sweet, chill, sociable cat that loves to eat Lol. My apartment is cat-proof with all the toys and supplies needed to make your cat stay comfortable and enjoyable.

About: Pets are more than just being animals, they are family. Being able to experience such a grand love from not only me 2 fur babies, but also every pet i’ve ever cared for is such a blessing. Since I was 10 I walked many neighborhood dogs and that’s is exactly what drew me to my first job which was being a kennel assistant at a doggy daycare. I loved every second being able to bond with not only pets, but their owners as well. And being that I’m a young dog walker you will receive many photos of your pet to make your day. I’m a full time worker at a Hair salon & Spa. Mondays & Sundays are my off days and Thursdays are my half off days. Usually I will get random days off which will be updated on my schedule whenever I do get the heads up. Before any care I like to run down on any rules or concerns the pet parents may have. If there ever is a problem parents will be contacted immediately, but of course all the right precautions will be taken when caring for the pets. I am a very coordinated person with lists, and notes of everything I will ever need.

About: I had a very sassy adopted Persian cat for about 6 years until she unfortunately passed earlier this spring. (she was an old lady). I adopted my puppy Levi in March 2022 and most recently my new kitty, Mikasa in July. I currently work full time from home so I have pretty open availability to take care of pets throughout the day. My dog goes on a walk twice throughout the day. My living room is actually used as a flex work space and it is also where my dog has his bed. It is gated off from the kitchen and the other side is my home office where I usually am throughout the day. I also have a play room for the dog that is located off the living room.
