Anna is fantastic! She went above and beyond taking care of our cat sushi and making sure he was well taken care of. He took a liking to her straight away. She truly has done a wonderful job. I would recommend Anna to anyone! We have definitely found our new cat sitter!

About: I have been pet sitting for 4 years. I have taken care of neighbors, friends, and families dogs. I have been trusted to take care of multiple high energy dogs at one time, while taking care of my own dog and cat. I am a college student with a flexible schedule to do pet sitting and dog walking. I am trustworthy and reliable and I love being able to meet more pups! I have taken care of pets both in my own home and in clients homes. In both situations, I make sure I am following the normal routine and instructions that the pets are used to, in order to make sure the pets are comfortable with me.

About: I have experience with pet sitting, walking, and drop in visits. I am looking forward to hearing the needs of your fur baby to have them enjoy their time to the max! I have free time to care for your pet as I work from home and my family is prepared and ready to help when needed! We have space for your pet to enjoy and share our home. We have places and a bed they can go to relax and we love to take them out to play and sniff around in the yard.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have always been an avid animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have two miniature pinschers of my own that I’ve spent a great deal of time training, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and individualized care for every pet. Because I work remotely when I’m not traveling for work, I’m able to provide attentive care, companionship, walks, playtime, feedings, potty breaks, and plenty of love throughout the day. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs extra attention, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. Your pets will be treated like my own with love, attention, and reliable care you can trust. When I’m not traveling for work, I work remotely from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the day for pet care visits, walks, feedings, and companionship. Every day can look a little different, but I keep my calendar updated to ensure accurate availability and reliable scheduling. We have a dedicated area in our basement with turf, toys, and space for pets to safely play and stay active. I will always be present to supervise and monitor them, whether they’re playing indoors, spending time outside, or going for walks around our neighborhood, which has plenty of sidewalks and nearby trails for safe, enjoyable exercise.

Carolyn was fantastic! This was the first time we used a cat sitter while we were away, but we had nothing to worry about with Carolyn. She was so great with our cat- she really took lots of time with him and made him feel comfortable and loved while we were gone. She kept us updated each day (and made us laugh with her daily reports and photos of our cat). Would highly recommend Carolyn!

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs who need more focused care. I have 4 dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable around animals and understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently work Monday through Thursday from 8 AM–4 PM, but I’m still available for pet care before and after work. Friday through Sunday are my preferred days, as I’m completely available and able to spend all day with your pets on weekends to give them plenty of attention, care, and company. I care for pets in my client’s home by following all instructions closely to make sure pets stay comfortable and keep their normal routine. I always communicate with owners if I have any questions or concerns, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. I also keep owners updated with messages and pictures so they can feel confident their pets are safe and happy.

About: I have been dog walking and pet sitting for over 10 years. I work as a ICU Veterinary Assistant and I am currently submitting my applications to graduate school. I have also received my bachelors of science from Endicott College. I am loving to all animals and enjoy spending time with them! I am a very active person, a distance runner, love to be outside, and will walk or run and play with your dog as they need. I have always been very good with animals of all shapes and sizes but dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I treat every pet as my own. I have a great deal of animal experience in both home and veterinary settings, and am able to effectively help a pet should an emergency situation occur. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I do dog walks during the day, and have a fairly flexible schedule to fit in extra walks. For pet sitting I will bop in and out while I do other walks, but always available through the evening to stay with your furry friends. I follow any directions you give for the safety and care of your pet, I am flexible and do my best to make sure each pet is happy and comfortable, I try to stick to their normal routines as much as possible.

About: I’ve watched dogs ever since i was a kid, I’d watch my grandmas dogs for her and take them on walks every day as she got older, I’d put her senior dog in a wagon and take her around the neighborhood. I’ve watched anything from yorkies to great pyrenees, and I’ve never met one i haven’t fallen in love with. I have two dogs now who I love more than anything, and any and all dogs I get to meet always make my days. I have two of my own pups who I care for everyday, I haven’t spent much time watching other dogs in about a year but would love to get back into it. I will do whatever the pet and owner need, whether it’s a long two mile walk, just dropping by to let them out to potty, give them any meds they may need, whatever I can do to help both pup and parent!
