“Ryane was great and patient with my cat, Ghost. My cat can be a little shy at first when she meets new people but they became fast friends and Ghost seemed to warm up to Ryane quickly. Ryane followed the instructions that were given and gave me a little update at each check in. I highly recommend Ryane and would likely book again.”


“Anna demonstrates exceptional ability with my pups, showing patience, kindness, and a thorough comprehension of their behaviors, and attentively catering to their needs.”


“Kacey and Kelly are great! They are wonderful communicators with updates. In the midst of a storm and power outage, they kept Brea safe and as comfortable as possible and let me know what was happening. Definitely will use them again.”


“Kendra was able come take care of my two cats after I had to schedule a very last-minute drop in. She was very communicative and did a wonderful job taking care of them. I’m super grateful to have been able to book her!”


About: I’ve had dogs my whole life from small to big, Terriars, Rottweilers, German Shepard, etc. I currently have a yellow lab named Rory. I have experience with all age dogs from puppies and elderly dog. I currently work full time 8-4:30 on weekday so I would be willing to come early morning, late afternoons, or nights. I am free anytime on weekends. I have an overly friendly Labrador at home who is very well trained. He goes on a walk at least once a day if not more but absolutely loves his big side yard where he gets to sunbathe! He has his spot on the couch where he naps most of the day away.

About: I’m an experienced pet owner with three cats of my own (one being a foster pet). I would love a dog myself, but due to having multiple felines and a busy schedule, it is not the right time. However, I love taking walks and hikes and am overall very active. I would love to take along a buddy or two, especially if it helps someone out! I’m also open to drop in checks, or if there is enough notice I can flex my schedule to make sure your pup has whatever he or she needs to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I understand how scary it can be to leave the well-being of your pet with someone else and I will do everything I can to put your mind at ease while away from your companion. I work a remote/hybrid job Monday-Friday 8:30am-4:30pm. If someone is close I can pop in during the day to let the dog out or take it for a quick walk. And then I’m fully available most weekends and evenings. I would need some instructions from the owner on exactly what they need me to do, and I would appreciate strong communication. I know how it feels to leave your pets in the care of someone else and if I can ease any anxiety that would be great

About: Extensive experience taking care of both dogs and cats, with hundreds of volunteer hours at dog shelters (primarily Greyhound rescues)! Will give your pet all the attention it needs and ensure their schedule remains as close to home as possible! I am currently off for the summer and will be a full time grad student in the fall. Your pet will get all the attention it needs and will be taken care of as if it were my own! I have a friendly dog and two dog friendly cats (they love other dogs once they get to know them)! We have trails nearby to make daily (or more) walks a breeze! All furniture is pet friendly and cuddles are encouraged!

“Kristy was great! it was so nice to know our girl was taken care of just like we would take care of her. we loved the updates & pictures while we were gone. she checked in multiple times & did exactly as we had asked. we appreciate everything she did for Jada & definitely will be in touch for future check ins.”


“Tammy did a great job with my little ones and even though there were some extra things that Tammy had to do (my little Lilly had an injury), Tammy handled the extra tasks beautifully!! She even got my little stubborn king of the castle (Rocky) to go back in his room with the others. Tammy was very punctual and I would highly recommend her!!”


“Alexis was fantastic with our lovebug Prince! She followed all directions, helped with our heat in our house and kept us informed if there was anything we needed to know. I couldn’t recommend her enough! I know I left out dogs/cats in good hands. Would deff use her again!”


About: I am a teacher who has the entire summer off and a very flexible schedule during the weekends. I have experience with different breeds. I have also trained with different types of collars such as prongs for dogs that tend to pull on leash. I am currently a teacher who is off for the summer with a very flexible schedule! I am available before 9 am in the am and after 12 pm Monday through Thursday! I am available at anytime on weekends. I currently have a 7 month old German Shepard puppy who is treated like a human child! She is spoiled by her Gen Z dual income parents! ❤️ I have experience with adult/ puppy Shepards and doodle mix breeds.

About: I have had experience with many breeds of dogs from puppies to adults. I currently have a 8 month old female German shepherd who is trained for the most part.. I’m currently working full time but my schedule depends on the day and week. I am available a lot more during the summer as I use more time off. I currently don't have a yard but I walk my dog on and off leash 4-5 times a day or more if she tells me she needs to go out.

About: I’m someone who understands that your pets are family, you want the best for them and I will provide the best for you and your pets. I love all animals, no matter the size or breed. I will take your animals to the park by my house, for a good walk. I will make sure your animals are safe and happy at all times. I have no issue with cleaning up after the animals. I can provide additional services such as giving medications, vacuuming up pet hair, and collecting the mail for you. I am flexible with hours, I can stay calm in every situation, I am sensitive to the needs and wants of your animals, I am reliable and consistent, I am trustworthy, and I genuinely will care for your animals like I do my own. Unfortunately, I cannot watch other dogs at my house due to my dog not liking other dogs.

About: Hi, I'm Aly! I am available for dog walking and drop-ins; I am also open to taking care of your cats.I have experience administering insulin as well since my cat has had diabetes. I have a large fenced in yard they could run around in. I have about 10 years of pet care experience (walking, feeding, potty breaks, etc). I will walk your pup as often as you like. Being a pet owner I understand what an important part of the family our dogs are, and would provide the best care possible. I have owned dogs my entire life, and will treat your fur baby like it is my own and we'll have the best time! I will always keep you updated with pictures & status updates :) I am very patient, responsible, and punctual.... I can't wait to meet you and your pup! Looking forward to hearing from you! My schedule is really open and flexible right now. I can make myself available anytime during 8AM - 5PM but I can be flexible if needed. As a remote worker and proud cat parent, I’m used to structuring my day around feeding schedules, playtime, and regular check-ins. Whether it’s giving morning meds, refreshing food and water, or simply providing some companionship, I enjoy making animals feel safe and loved. Caring for pets isn’t a chore—it’s a rewarding part of my everyday life. In both settings, I prioritize open communication with pet owners to understand each pet’s unique needs and preferences, ensuring a personalized and caring experience for every pet.

About: I have had the opportunity to take care of all sorts of dog over the years. I have taken care of my own dog, my neighbors pets, and other friends as well. I am currently a student who is able to take time away from studying to help out with furry friends whenever I can. I am available nights and weekends as needed too! I have experience handling dogs in yards and have been on plenty of walks as well. When inside I am able to take care of all needs and can leave the dog in a happy mood for your return!

About: I have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I've housetrained three of my own [all of which are happily old man living around the country], enjoy long walks on the through parks and giving belly rubs that last eternity. I also, surprisingly enough, do not mind giving dogs their bathes in between grooming visits [if they get those pampering spa days to themselves, of course]. Brushing, playing fetch, and of course - tug of war reign supreme. But so does chilling on the couch watching the Puppy-Bowl or dog show with a fuzzy little space heater wedged between me and the arm of the couch. If I were to be reincarnated, I would definitely choose a dog. They just have the life. **I do work full time\ in Plains, PA from 6:30am - 3:30pm. I have to go home and rescue my senior dog from his crate for a bit of a stretch and dinner before I really do anything else Monday - Friday. But I am available on the weekend! I play Dungeons and Dragons on Friday and Saturday nights!** I work during the week, and I play dungeons and dragons on the weekends. But I am more than happy to do some drop-ins or walks during the day on Saturdays and Sundays to let you have more out and about time! Drop-in visits and walks rely on a good relationship between visitor (me) and the animal that is being walked or visited. They get easier over time, and everyone loves making new friends!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life starting with a family pet grooming business. Beyond that I’ve cared for family and friends dogs as needed. My two most common pups I take care of are a golden doodle and cattle dog mix. I work from home full time, which means I can do early morning (done by 8:30 am), lunch time (approx 11-1) and evening visits (after 5:30 pm). On weekends I’m available more time slots. If you’re unsure if I can fit your needs just ask! I have experience doing feeding, potty breaks on a leash, as well as in fenced in yards. The more detail/instructions you provide on care needed the better I can provide that. I am and will continue to be respectful of your dog and your property. If you have any specific questions please let me know.
