About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 8 years old. I’m comfortable with all breeds, including Pitbulls, Rottweilers, and German Shepherds. I was raised alongside a Pitbull Terrier mix, and later went on to adopt a full blooded Pitbull. Our family had a Boxer mix for 13 years until recently, and she was in very good shape up until the end. I would love to care for your pets as I have cared for mine! When I still had my dogs, I would feed them three times a day and give them medicine up to five times a day. If they had a little too much energy, I would play with them until they were tired out. I would let them outside as often as they needed, even if they just wanted to lay out there (when the weather is nice, of course). I cared for my dogs by paying attention to their body language and vocalizations. Often times, what they needed is something simple, like to go outside or when they were ready to eat, but on rare occasions they’d act a little unusual and that was when I’d take them into the vet’s office. I always made sure my dogs are in the best health possible.

About: I’ve been training my dogs as well as my friends dogs. I’m the type of person who goes to a gathering and if there is a dog I hang with the dog. I work 3-4 hours a day in the from 9-1 so I have plenty of availability. I am free most weekends as well as most evenings. I have two other dogs who have are great with other dogs and have helped me train other dogs as well. I have fostered for the local Humane Society in the past as well. I love playing with my dogs and taking them for walks.

Megan was great! She dropped in and let my older guy out, making sure he had food, water and fresh air. The pics she took of him were perfect and put my mind at ease!

About: I’ve taken care of animals for many years now. My parents are Rover sitters and we have taken care of several different dogs. I have been exposed to all different breeds and ages. I have also given animals their medication. I am always free during the summer. I can walk your dog, check on your cats or anything else that you need. Just let me know. I would go to your home as many times a day as needed and stay the night if preferred. I can put your dog in its crate or let them sleep in bed with me. I am very accommodating to the needs of your pet.

About: I have experience with cats of all ages (kittens to 21+), and dogs of all sizes. I’ve worked with service puppies in training, elderly cats with special diets and medication schedules, and raised several kittens. I have experience with dog-anxious dogs, older puppies, and senior dogs. I’m currently a full time MA student, and am happy to fit pet care around my teaching and class schedule! I am available on weekends and some weekdays. I have separation anxiety from my own babies, and I understand that you might as well! I provide in-home services only, so your dogs/cats are comfortably in their own space. I love to send picture updates, check in about any changes, and am used to carefully opening doors due to escape-artist cats. I am also comfortable crating dogs.

About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats for many years. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine, so I always try to make them feel comfortable and safe. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow any instructions, whether it’s caring for energetic dogs, shy cats, or pets that just need extra love and attention. I work online a few hours a day with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for pets and give them attention throughout the day. I can easily adjust my routine for walks, feeding times, playtime, or check-ins. I’m usually available on weekdays and I also have availability on weekends depending on the booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and try to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel relaxed and secure. I pay close attention to their behavior, making sure they have enough exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and make sure everything stays clean, safe, and calm for your pet.

Mary did an incredible job watching our dogs through the holidays. We had multiple flight cancellations and Mary was so flexible and reliable, extending care until we made it home safely. She sent regular pictures which helped ease some of the anxiety I had missing the pups, and we came home to a clean home, happy and healthy dogs, and she even brought in the mail for us! We are so grateful we found her.

Megan was wonderful. We did a meet and great, and she has a genuine honesty about her, that I felt safe with her in my home to take care of my 3 basset hounds. She uploaded pictures of them drinking water and eating- so I knew they were taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Megan and use her services again.
