About: i am a certified animal lover experienced across species. you can ensure i am truly dedicated to the care and well being of your beloved fur baby. I am available early mornings and evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends. I am transitioning in an effort to open my availability for more pets! i have a large apartment that is very safe. I have a camera in my apartment with live access directly from my phone and keep everything pet safe at all times (no plants, organized, etc). When approaching new clients, I am gentle and respectful of their spaces.

About: — First time booking with me? Use this code for $20 off your first appointment! LEANDW09173 — Being raised with dogs, cats, and other various kinds of animals since I was 6 years old, I’m not a stranger to small (or even big!) feet following me around the house. From love and snuggles after a long day, to laughing at zoomie episodes, my family has built our lives around our animals. And I would love to add your pet into my happy story. Rest assured, you can leave your fur-baby with me for peace of mind, and can expect them to be loved, cared for, snuggled, and protected as you would do. I have experience with energetic, senior, and pups with allergies and/or meds. I start grad school in the fall, so I have ample free time 5-6 days a week to provide attention and care for your furbaby. I am an avid communicator and will be making sure I follow all necessary instructions left by you (feeding needs, medical needs, etc.). If I’m not sure on something, I’ll always communicate to make sure to provide the best service to your and your baby.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals big and small furry or reptilian! I’m comfortable with different energy levels and sizes and willing to put in the work to get to know your pet and make sure they are comfortable! I work from home with very flexible hours so I can accommodate many different schedules during business hours and throughout the rest of the day I live in an apartment so will not be caring for pets in my home, but I am very careful and thorough with all pet care instructions.

About: I have been an owner of my dog, Scout for 13 years. Over those 13 years, I have learned how to care for animals. I have volunteered for the humane society for the past 5 years as well! I am currently working during the mornings of each weekend so I am pretty flexible during the weekdays. I can care for your pet during any hour of the day during the week! I feed, walk, and shower my dog with attention each day. I will treat your pet the same way mine would want to be treated.


About: Lifelong animal lover with 7+ years caring for my own 2 dogs, along trusted experience with friends and family’s pets. I make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I’m currently working part-time, so I have a lot of availability throughout the week. I love morning walks because they get me up to start my day while also being active. As well as mid-day and evening walks allow me to take a break from any tasks and get outside in the sun while having some fun! Whether I’m visiting your home or walking your pup, my goal is to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable. For walks, I make they get plenty of fresh air, exercise, a potty break, and time to sniff and explore while keeping a close eye. During home visits, I’ll refresh their water, feed them, give potty breaks and spend quality time. I’ll also follow any instructions you leave for me and always treat your home with respect.

“Jenny dropped in to look after our cat over Xmas, she was sweet and sent me photo updates. Our cat looked calm and content when we got back :) Thank you Jenny for taking care of Miu Miu”


About: I’ve taken care of pets for my co-workers and friends for the past several years while they traveled out of town for an extended amount of time. I make sure to check-in every day, feed them, and make sure they get enough attention. I am raising money for marathons I have signed up for over the next year. I’m preparing to run the Marine Corps Marathon and aim to run the Boston Marathon. I usually work evenings from 3-11pm Wednesdays through Sundays and I will have time to take care of your pet in the mornings before I get ready for work. When I am in charge of your pet, I make sure sure they have the food the need to remain healthy, give them a walk when they need it, and provide them with enough attention.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for several years. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always aim to keep their routine consistent and stress-free while you’re away. I make sure your dog feels safe, exercised, and well-loved. Pet care fits into my routine—I work full time during the week, but I’m available for walks and check-ins in the mornings and evenings. I enjoy starting and ending my day with some time outside and love spending that time with dogs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I focus on keeping things consistent and tailored to each pet’s needs. I stick to their usual routines—mealtimes, walks, play, and any special care. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and make sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their environment. If they’re staying with me, I give them a quiet, clean space to relax, and they get plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day.

About: I am super patient and would love to help you out! I also have experience with basic obedient puppy training :)! Have had cats all of my life and my puppy the past year. I am pretty flexible, my current job schedule is always consistent. I don’t work too many hours so I always have more than enough time for my own furr babies. I am always cleaning and made sure to have my pets fed morning and night. Litter box is always cleaned and refilled. I also make sure there’s nothing out that could be harmful for the babies.


About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life; my first was a black lab, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve helped train, walk, and care for our family’s three dogs, who are truly my world. I’m willing to go the extra mile for your dog(s), whether it’s playing, going to the dog park, or just giving them love 🐶❤️ I just completed my last internship at law school and now have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to petsit full time for the summer and fall of this year. I’m available during the week and on weekends! In my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved by creating a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and routine. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal schedule and care instructions, keeping things consistent to help them feel at ease. Doesn’t matter if it’s feeding, walking, cleaning up, or just giving them attention: I treat every pet like my own.

About: Whether your pet is a tiny bundle of energy or a gentle giant, rest assured they'll be in loving and capable hands with me. From cozy cuddles to exhilarating walks, I'm dedicated to providing your pet with the attention and care they deserve, treating them as if they were my own. With me as your pet sitter, you can relax knowing that your beloved companion will always have a devoted friend by their side, ready to ensure their well-being and happiness. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine, ensuring the well-being of my furry companions remains a top priority. Scheduled feeding times, regular walks, and play sessions are non-negotiable components, providing essential exercise and mental stimulation. Despite occasional office commitments, I make time for midday check-ins and cuddle breaks, ensuring my pets feel loved and attended to throughout the day. Ultimately, pet care isn't just a task but a cherished part of my routine, enriching both their lives and mine. In both my home and my client's home, I prioritize the well-being of pets by providing regular meals, exercise, playtime, and affection. I follow specific care instructions from the owners and maintain a clean environment.

About: Since the age of three I’ve always been around pets! Ranging from alligator lizards, to German shepherds to pigeons in a shed! I became a member of PETA at the age of 10, it’s true lol! P.S. I only signed up for the cute calendars! ❤️🐶 I am a college student, however, my early afternoons and evenings are typically open! During that time, I’d love to care for your fur child!! My backyard is fenced in for safety. For overnight services especially, I will reach out to the owner beforehand to gain insight on how to best make your furry loved one feel as safe and comfortable as possible!
