About: I’ve had animals all of my life, and I currently have a dog and a cat now. Also, I’ve taken care of dogs/cats since I was old enough to do so! Whether it was as a job or for a friend, I bathed, fed, and cared for them like they were my own! I currently only work a couple hours a day so I am usually available after 10 A.M. Other than those few hours, I am home every day! I live right in front of a big park as well as an actual dog park so your dog will have plenty of space to play! I myself have a dog and a cat who are very playful and get along with anyone and everyone. My dog would love to keep your dog company, as he thinks that play time is anytime! I can also crate your dog if needed!

About: I'm a responsible, detail-oriented pet lover who treats every animal like part of my own family. I've helped care for pets belonging to friends, family, and neighbors, handling feeding, walks, playtime, and cleanup. I'm patient with shy or anxious pets and give them time to warm up at their own pace. I follow each owner's instructions exactly, from feeding amounts to medication schedules, and I keep a close eye on appetite, energy, and behavior so I can let you know right away if anything seems off. My background in tech support has made me calm under pressure and great at clear communication, so you'll get regular photo updates and quick replies. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a laid-back senior, or a cat who prefers quiet company, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I work a full-time job with a predictable schedule, so I'm available for drop-in visits and walks on weekday [mornings/evenings] and have more flexibility on weekends. For boarding or house sitting, I plan my week around your pet's routine so meals, walks, and medications happen on time, every time. Safety comes first. I keep doors and gates secured, use a leash on every walk, and never leave pets unsupervised with unfamiliar animals. Our home in West Ghent is [quiet / has a fenced yard / is pet-free / has kids who love animals], and I keep toxic foods and cleaning products out of reach. In your home, I follow your house rules exactly, send photo updates after each visit, and keep your vet's contact info handy in case anything comes up.

“Ashlynn is wonderful! She was flexible with my changing schedule and kept in contact with me throughout my trip. She sent lots of pictures and my dog looked very happy spending time with her. I will definitely book Ashlynn for my next trip!”

About: I am currently in Vet Medicine, with experience from volunteering in animals shelters & participating in a clinic internship. I myself have 5 dogs ranging from 8months to 12 years old and interact with animals daily. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. Im currently in a veterinary program and completing an internship at Mount Pleasant Clinic, while also caring for my five dogs at home. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule. Im available for dog walking and check-ins in the late afternoon and anytime on weekends. These interactions and acts of care is a great way for me to continue to gain hands on experience while providing pets with the attention, care, and love they deserve! I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe and on their normal routine as instructed. I will provide plenty of attention and care. I have no issue with following specific care instructions and paying attention to any changes of behavior or overall condition. On walks I prioritize safety & stay aware all while making sure your pet enjoys themselves!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 12 years old, and taking care of animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. Everyone in my family has a dog, and I’ve become the person everyone calls when they need someone they trust to help care for their pets. I’m an attentive, patient, and gentle caregiver, and I treat every animal I care for like they are my own. I’m currently a college student, and outside of school, I love spending time with animals. I’ve had experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, birds, rabbits, and lizards, so I understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and routine. I know some pets need lots of playtime and attention, while others are more comfortable with a calm and quiet environment. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I don’t have as much hands on experience with cats because some of my close family members are allergic, but I absolutely love cats and would be happy to learn your cat’s routine and provide the same patient and loving care. I’m always willing to listen, learn, and follow your instructions because you know your pet better than anyone. Your pet’s comfort and safety are very important to me. I want you to feel comfortable knowing that your pet is in good hands and receiving the attention they deserve. I’m also happy to provide updates, pictures, and check-ins so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Before caring for your pet, I’d love for you to tell me everything that will help me give them the best possible care. Please let me know about their daily routine, eating habits, favorite activities, bathroom schedule, medications, allergies, behaviors, fears, and anything else you think is important. The more I know about your pet, the better I can make their time with me comfortable and enjoyable! Start our mornings with a 10-15 min walk Go inside eat breakfast and relax for a little Go for our second walk around 11:30am-12pm Play outside for an hour Go inside have a snack, play, or relax I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re in my care. I keep their environment clean, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they have access to fresh water and anything they need. I also pay attention to their behavior and routine so I can notice if something seems unusual. I treat every pet with patience and kindness and make sure they feel comfortable around me.

About: Big or Small, Special Needs and All—A Sniff Adventure Awaits! ​Hi, I'm Frankie! Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. I’ve spent my entire life raising and caring for pets of every shape and size—from cats and dogs ranging from tiny to extra-large. ​My home is currently run by a wonderful, chaotic crew of four: ​Merc: My fluffy cat who rightfully considers himself the king of the house. ​My Energetic Pitty: A sweet, high-energy powerhouse who keeps life exciting. ​My Two Special Needs Pups: One who is completely blind, and another with neurological challenges. ​Why Choose Me? ​Living with special needs pets means "cautious and attentive" isn't just a tagline for me—it's my daily reality. I have deep experience and endless patience when it comes to walking blind dogs and pups who have trouble navigating or walking in a straight line. ​Whether your dog is a high-energy athlete who needs a solid workout, a delicate senior who wants a slow, gentle stroll, or a special needs pup who requires extra vigilance and a patient hand, I’ve got you covered. I treat every single animal with the same customized care, safety, and love that I give my own. ​I can't wait to meet your furry family member and take them on their next great sniff adventure! I am currently a full-time graduate student finishing up my master's degree. Because my studies allow for a highly flexible schedule, I have plenty of open availability throughout the workweek to drop in and walk your pups while you are at the office. Treating Your Furry Family Like My Very Own In my own home, I take extreme care of my pets. Living with special needs animals and a high-energy pit bull means safety, structure, and deep attentiveness are built into my daily routine. I bring that exact same level of high-standard, vigilant care to your home and your pets.

“Jeanne was a total lifesaver for my family! The kennel that we had arranged boarding for our doodle cancelled as we were just about to get on the road for a trip out of town and our hotel reservations were non-refundable. Having never met us before, she responded almost immediately to my booking request and showed up at our home about a half hour later to meet our doggo even though she had other visits on her schedule that evening. She is very personable and our dog warmed up to her instantly. She sent detailed updates with multiple photos throughout the weekend, and even included our young cats in some pics though she wasn’t responsible to look after them. I cannot thank Jeanne enough for her help and we will definitely book with her in the future.”

I can easily work around your time and needs. I’m also available almost every weekend. I have a large fenced yard and always make sure to give positive stimulation to my animals. No matter the energy level I’ll make sure their needs are met!

About: I will genuinely treat your pups like my own! I’ve had pets ever since I can remember - dogs, cats, & even fish. Today, I'm a proud plant & cat mom. Because I love traveling myself, I totally know how stressful it is to leave your babies behind & how important it is to have reliable, trustworthy help you can count on. I love taking dogs on adventures, whether that’s hitting trails to burn off energy or just enjoying a long, sniff filled neighborhood walk. I have experience with all kinds of personalities from high energy pups who want to play non stop, to sweet seniors who just want a slow stroll & some good couch cuddles. I love sending lots of photo updates & making sure your dogs feel safe, happy, & loved! I have a super flexible schedule. My days are open enough that I can easily prioritize structured potty breaks & long walks, without having to rush back to a strict 9-5 desk job. In my home your pet becomes a part of the family! My place is a pet friendly environment where they can fully relax & get cozy. While I don’t have a fence, I have a massive yard with a secure lead, so the dogs can get plenty of space while staying safe. Plus, they’ll get tons of attention & plenty of couch cuddles! If I’m coming to your house for a walk or a drop in, I’ll treat your space with total respect. I’ll strictly follow whatever routine you have for feeding, crating, or locking up. I'm always mindful of the little things like wiping muddy paws if it's rainy & making sure the water bowl is totally fresh before I leave. Plus, you can definitely count on lots of fun photo updates so you know exactly how great they’re doing! Whether your pet is hanging out at my place or I’m visiting yours, making sure they feel safe and comfortable is my biggest priority.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have plenty of experience caring for both cats and dogs! I currently have two cats and have had my dog for the past five years, so I’m very comfortable with the daily care, attention, and love pets need. Before having pets of my own, I regularly cared for cats and dogs for families I babysat for. This gave me experience with pets of different personalities, routines, and needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies, and I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I would give my own! I’m a teacher, so I’m at work during the school day and typically finish around 4 PM. I’m available for pet care in the evenings during the week and have much more flexibility on weekends! I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for you and your pet. 🐾 I treat every pet in my home like they’re my own children. I’m very attentive to their needs, personalities, and routines, and I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know caring for animals is a huge commitment. I’ve spent months patiently helping my two cats bond with each other, which has taught me how important patience, consistency, and understanding are. I’ll give your pets that same level of care and attention while they’re with me! 🐾❤️

About: I’ve got years of experience caring for dogs and cats. My favorite thing to do is take dogs (especially my own) out for adventures by taking advantage of this beautiful state we get to call home. I love to give dogs the best time when they’re with me whether that’s going out or staying in and their safety and comfortability is my top priority. I work part time on Thursday and Friday nights until the end of December. I have a very open schedule until the end of April. I do have a dog and two cats, so it would be best to board at the owners home vs my own, but I am ok with either. I am avid about getting quality outdoor time that goes beyond potty breaks. Clear instructions of your pets exact care requirements/expectations are important to me so that I can make sure your pet is getting their needs met.

“Tayauna provided extraordinary services when caring for my cat, Lily Rose, while I was away on a trip. As many of us understand, it is not easy to be away from our beloved pets. Taya helped give me peace of mind through the daily updates and photos. She went above and beyond to provide the best care for Lily, and she blessed my heart as well. When returning, Lily was so happy and I believe the quality of attention and care that was given to her made all the difference. Thank you so much Taya! Lily is looking forward to spending time with again in the future, and I am beyond grateful to have a cat sitter who I can trust to do an excellent job. God bless you!”

About: I’ve taken care of all breeds of dogs and cats my entire life. Now I love my work and persona life filled with all types of animals ! I create my own schedule and able to flex around my clients. Super adaptable and able to work with each dogs needs during their stay. All animals that stay in my home are under surveillance twenty four seven with safety measures put into place. Ensuring everyone is safe and well loved.

“An absolute BLESSING! I booked Kathy about 3 weeks prior to my trip home for the Holidays. About 1 week prior to leaving my cat, Penny, was diagnosed with diabetes and needed to start twice daily shots of insulin immediately. I contacted Kathy and she was more than willing to help me out with the extra drop ins. She came over and learned how to give the shots and calmed my nerves of leaving Penny for a few days. I would have had to scramble finding a boarder or canceled my trip all together if it wasn’t for Kathy. She updated me on how Penny was doing daily and let me know if there were any reactions to her insulin that I would need to note for the vet.”
