About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets for my whole life, including dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and reptiles. I have a real love for animals! For the past 3 years I have been trusted to watch family and friends’ dogs. I’m a true lover of all animals, especially dogs! I’m currently in college to find my dream job with animals, and would love to have more experience working with them. My goal is to hopefully make a career out of caring for animals and giving them the love they all deserve. I’m currently a part-time worker at a dermatologist office. I work Mondays-Thursdays from 8 am to 3 pm. I am available to watch and walk your furry friends after 3 pm those weekdays and available all day Fridays-Sundays. I will do anything that is in your best favor and your pet’s. This includes walking them when they need, taking them outside to play/use the bathroom, feeding them on their schedule, crating them if needed, or simply giving them pets, snuggles, and playtime.

“Our cats are doing well under Jordan’s drop in visits. She communicates the schedule well with us & sends photos. Reaaly appreciates her help!”



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: 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 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 am very patient, compassionate, and love what I do to help a family in need of sometime for themselves or just in need anything. I work part time with time to spare on my hands which is weekends and any mornings and I can accommodate if we have understanding. I make sure they are my full attention, make sure to clean up after, fed, and able to have play time safely throughout the time.

About: I grew up on a farm with all animals, big and small — experienced with young, old, & “difficult” pets. Also comfortable administering medicine and handling emergencies with care. I love animals and care about respecting their boundaries and listening to their body language to develop trust. I have a work from home schedule, so I can spend as much time with your pet as you want! I enjoy the opportunity to get out of my home office :) I’m well-versed in understanding and responding to animal body language and indicators of stress or medical emergency. I keep a careful eye on every pet I’m in charge of, and I firmly believe in following the instructions given to me because you know your animal best.

About: I’ve grown up in a household with a plethora of animals with dogs being my favorite. I’ve taken care of large dogs, like English Mastiffs, to the tiniest, like Yorkies. I am a one stop shop who you can trust to care for your dog and you might find that I have plenty of educated and informative ways of doing so! Oh, and I’m an owner of a 3 year old mini golden-doodle named Teddy Graham! I currently plan on dog sitting part-time so house sitting is something I can do over the weekends and some parts of the week as well. I'm very flexible so feel free to send me a message and we can negotiate based on what days/times work best for you. I'm happy to care for your pet in whatever way you outline. I'm familiar with crate training, and also understand if your pet has special dietary needs. Personally, my fur baby is full of energy so I also am completely understanding if you have an over energetic pup that needs to be tired out.

“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 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.

“I am grateful for Mimi who took excellent care of my cat while I was traveling. She provided regular updates, sent photos, and ensured my cat was well-fed, happy, and comfortable.”
