Melissa was great, She kept us updated on our dogs and plenty of pictures. Kept the dogs busy with nice long walks and the house was in perfect order when we got home. Already booked her again. I know our dogs are in good hands when she is with them.

Emily was excellent, efficient, and punctual! She did a great job taking care of our 3 fur babies and promptly communicated with us the entire time. She made us feel safe that our 3 little kids were going to be well taken care of. We will definitely be rebooking her in the future!

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. My babies are lifers. Your animal is my number one priority. I prefer animals over humans any day I quit my job to walk dogs full time. I’m always available if you need me. Your babies are my babies. I’d prefer dogs over humans I have a fenced in yard and no one can escape. I abide by what the client asks for in their and my own home. I walk, play with your dog if toys are presented

About: I love all animals so much! I treat them all like they are my own. I’ve taken care of a wide range of animals, from elderly dogs, to birds, and horses! I owned a Pet Sitting business for many years, but moved states once I got married. Me and my husband are homesteaders. He works from home, and we both tend our ducks and garden. We are hoping to have a farm stand this next summer! I love working hard and all animals! We have a very big fenced in back yard where your babe can run free and we can play! We are outside all the time with our animals and garden.

About: I've been working with dogs professionally for almost 1.5 years, but I've also always dog-sat for family and friends. I've sat with dogs from small to big sizes, younger to older dogs, and I've dealt with dogs that have had many different medical issues, including providing medication and insulin. I'm ready for anything, and I'm excited to meet some new furry friends. Pet care is part of my everyday life both at work and at home. I currently work at a dog kennel, so I’m experienced with feeding schedules, exercise routines, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. On top of that, I have three dachshunds of my own at home, which means my day naturally revolves around walks, playtime, training, and plenty of cuddles. Because of this, caring for dogs isn’t just something I do at work; it’s built into my lifestyle. Becoming a public dog sitter is an exciting next step for me, since it allows me to take the skills I’ve built in a kennel setting and apply them in a more personal way, giving each dog the love and attention they deserve. In my own home, caring for pets is a constant part of daily life. I have three dachshunds, so I’m used to keeping up with regular feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, and play. I make sure they feel safe, happy, and included as part of the family, whether that means structured walks or just cozy cuddle time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the same attentive approach while respecting each pet’s individual routine and needs. I stick to the feeding, walking, and play schedules the owner provides, and I take time to get to know the pet’s personality so they feel comfortable and cared for in their own environment. My goal is always to make the transition smooth for both the pet and the owner, giving pets the same love and structure I give my own dogs.

About: Hi, I’m Moesharlynn or Moe and I’m 20 years old. I’m currently in school for dental assisting. I dog sat over-night for my friend’s dog for a week and I helped take care of my aunts dog, taking him out for walks when they were away. I’m familiar with learning the routines of a new dog and I give communication to the owners—providing updates on the well-being of their pet and any concerns that may arise. If you have an active dog, I would love to run with them as I’m a fan of cardio! I’m currently in school full-time during the weekdays, so being able to dog sit during weekends and afterschool on weekdays works great in my schedule. I’m very flexible for the weekends though. I have a fenced backyard in which dogs can roam freely in. I live across from a park that I can take them on frequent walks to.

About: I have had a dog all 18 years of my life. Most of this time we had two dogs, so I am used to handling multiple dogs at a time! I am home from college for the summer and do not work a part time job currently, with this free time, i am able to give these animals the care they need almost 24/7. In my home, I have a very friendly dog and also a fenced in yard where they can go run around and play in. As for clients houses I will abide by their rules completely and contact them if I have any questions. Their house will be left the same or cleaner than they left it and their animals happy!

Cassie was wonderful and I know we’ll be calling her again soon! She house sat for 2 days. Stella is older and has some health issues. Cassie followed all of our feeding and walking directions, and let us know how she was doing throughout the day, so I didn’t worry. It was nice to be able to relax and enjoy our short vacation!

About: I currently have 3 dogs who I treat as my kids. I raised one as a puppy and rescued the other from the SPCA and saved one from being left stranded.My pit sleeps with my daughter and my shep/lab is our watch dog at night. My daughter is willing to help in whatever needs to be done too. I work full time and will be doing this before and after work. I am willing to stay over on weekends and when ever I am off from work. My dogs are very well behaved around other dogs and love to make new friends. I am willing to travel within reason. Can’t wait to meet you and get to spend time with your pups. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you for reading this. I work full time during the week and available for dog/cat care anytime after 4pm. Weekends are spent caring for your pets!!! If you have questions regarding my availability please send me a message or reach out. I have a fenced in yard which provides extra security when we are playing outside. If I am going to be going to your home and you don’t have a fenced in yard then will definitely keep an extra eye/leash on your pet. I will make sure the house is in order the way you left it prior to me coming.

About: Hey my name is Taleem I’ve cared for pets my whole life basically from turtles chinchillas and bunny’s to lap dogs mastiffs and horses I’m well experienced and genuinely care about your pets well being. Potty breaks and training is not a problem I allow dogs on my furniture and bed I live in a smoke free home that is also an apartment I’m not too far from Griffith park so walks there are common for me; I’m a pretty active person because I am a student athlete. I’m currently in my sophomore year and just looking for extra ways of income and caring for animals has always came naturally to me, and I came to love it at a young age so why not do what you love and get paid.

About: I’ve been a pet owner for nearly all of my life. I believe in treating pets with love and kindness. I presently have 2 fur babies at home, a Husky and a Maltipoo. I have many years of experience with cats and dogs, especially with raising puppies and newborn kittens (several litters). I’m very comfortable with all forms of pet care, including: medical needs, in-home care, walking, playing, feeding, potty breaks, and most of all - spoiling them! I’m retired so I’m available most of the time. I’m able to house sit day and/or night, assist with vet/grooming appointments upon availability. Weekends are a bit more limited, but still an option based on times needed. I’m currently available for pet sitting (dogs & cats) in the client’s home as well as dog walking, feeding, administration of meds (if needed), playing/interaction, potty breaks, and potty training for puppies & kittens.

About: *** I am available to book clients in the area surrounding Ocean City, NJ*** What truly sets me apart from other sitters is my experience, genuine passion for animals, and skills that cater to both ends of the age spectrum. Puppy Care: As a seasoned sitter, I possess a unique skill set in puppy training. I understand the importance of early socialization, positive reinforcement, and consistent routines. Senior Care: On the other end of the spectrum, I am well-versed in providing dedicated care for senior pets. I recognize the unique needs of older animals, including mobility challenges, joint care, and age-appropriate exercise. I currently work part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play and care for your pets. I can readily adjust my schedule to the needs of you and your pets. Caring for the pets in your home is a responsibility I take very seriously! Every pet is unique, and I recognize that. I take the time to understand your pet's personality, preferences, and any specific requirements they may have. Above all, my genuine love for animals drives me to go above and beyond. Your pet will benefit from my unwavering dedication, treating them with the same affection and care I offer to my own pets. Routine: Consistency is key for pets, so l'll stick to their established routine, including feeding times, exercise schedules, bathroom breaks, and playtime. This minimizes stress and ensures a smooth transition in your absence. Feeding and Medication: If your pet requires a special diet or medication, l'll make sure to follow your instructions precisely. Whether it's administering oral medication, applying topical treatments, or managing injections, your pet's health is my top priority. Exercise and Play: Engaging physical and mental activities are vital for pets' well-being. I'll engage in interactive play, walks, and stimulating games to keep them entertained, happy, and healthy. Hygiene and Cleanliness: I maintain a clean and hygienic environment for your pet. Regularly cleaning food and water bowls, litter boxes, and bedding. Communication: Regular updates are crucial to ease your mind while you're away. I'll provide you with timely messages, photos, and even videos of your pet, so you can stay connected and see that they're in good hands. Emergency Preparedness: While I hope it never happens, I am prepared for emergencies. I'll have your contact information, your veterinarian's details, and a plan in place to address any unexpected situations that may arise. Safety and Security: I'll ensure that your home is secure during my visits. Doors and windows will be properly closed and locked. If necessary, I'll also bring in mail, adjust curtains, and perform other tasks to give the appearance that your home is occupied. Initial Consultation: Before the pet-sitting period begins, I'll meet with you and your pet (in person or virtually) to discuss your pet's routine, medical needs, and any specific requirements they may have. Ultimately, I treat your pet as if they were my own, offering the same love, care, and attention I would want for my furry companions. Your pet's happiness, safety, and well-being are my primary concerns throughout my time caring for them in your home.

We were very pleased having Chris here at our home to watch our Corgi Mickey. Mickey wasn’t feeling his best and Chris kept us well informed and sent photos of Mickey to reassure us that all was well. We plan to have her come again the next time we need to go out for a long period of time. Chris was awesome!
