“Melissa is amazing! Communicates great, absolute sweetheart, took amazing care of Josie and my home! Hoping to rebook her for my next trip can’t say enough how great she was!”
About: Hello! Just moved back to Summit County! Long walks/hikes, games of fetch in the dog parks, belly rubs and all will be provided. I'm a long time caretaker for children as well, so I guarantee your animal is left with a responsible and caring person. I work at the Tiki Bar in Dillon, so I’m out for usually 8 hours. Please message me for more information if you have any questions! I work at the tiki bar in dillon 5x/week, usually 8 hour shifts so your pet needs to be ok alone for those hours when I cannot leave work to go for a walk. I like to take dogs out for long walks & cuddle in the evenings. We both benefit! If you have a yard, more frequent outside time. Dog parks of your dog is behaved.

Just need preferably a two day notice in case I need to travel. I do not offer care in my home as I am currently living in m brother’s and daughter’s house. I am available to care for you pet in your home as a drop in. I can administer meds, care for wounds, clean ears, clip nails and express and glands as needed.
“We had an excellent experience with Jocelyn. She took great care of our animals and our house. Will definitely hire her again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Trisha graciously watched my 2 older dogs at the last minute in my home. She was an amazing houseguest, and was incredible with my visually impaired dog who requires various daily medications. My other grumpy dog took to Trisha immediately, which is remarkable as he can be stingy with his affection. Thank you Trisha and we all look forward to seeing you again soon.❤️”
“First time with Brandi and she was terrific. Very organized and professional, and the pets (and house) were in great form on our return! Highly recommend.”

“Ruby did an excellent job taking care of my 2 dogs, and was very accommodating regarding scheduling on short notice. My friend who was supposed to pet sit fell through, so I was left looking for someone on a Tuesday night for a Friday to Sunday petsit. Ruby responded quickly to my initial questions regarding her availability and set up a meet and greet for Thursday evening. She was very good with our dogs and kept us updated as we asked how things were a few times during the weekend. The pups were very happy and contented when we got back on Sunday. Ruby did a great job and we will definitely be looking to use her in the future. ”
About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. I have also worked at a veterinary practice for many years as an assistant.

About: I raised my great dane from a puppy and took a lot of care that he was properly trained and socialized. He’s a very good, lazy boy. I’ve also had a lot of experience taking care of friends and family’s dogs, as well as fostering. Most dogs I’ve cared for are at least medium sized, but since my dog is a giant I understand that they can be hard to find care for. I love big dogs so I’m happy to help with your giant love bugs! I love leash training and training in general! Happy to set up training appointments as I’ve had some success with friends’/family/my foster dogs in helping them with boundaries and manners. I’m a graduate student and have a flexible schedule several days a week. I do usually go into work during the week but usually not more than a few hours on my available days. I’m happy to drop around that schedule so that I can split up their day at home for drop-ins and walks, and if you’ve booked day care they will be hanging out with Lincoln (my great dane) who just sleeps and chills while I’m away. I’m happy to give meals, especially since my dog is not at all food aggressive, or baths/grooming care. Puppies are Linc’s favorites and we would love to help with training. If you’ve booked for drop-ins or walks I’m happy to help with training and meals/medication needs. I’m also happy to bring Lincoln along if you are interested in your dog socializing but of course am able to go alone and help your dog let off some steam!
About: I have been care for other peoples animals for at least the five years. I grew up with cats and a dog. I am an animal lover and treat them as family. I can be flexible for care. My other work involves flexible hours teaching. I can be available with possible short notice as well. Thank you for trusting me with your fur loves. I will use resources you ask me to. Example could be leash. I will use care and courteous strategy. I find care for animals brings me joy.
“I highly recommend Sarah to take care of your pets! She is reliable and pays attention to details when needed! My two cats are shy, but they warmed up to Sarah quickly! Sarah spent extra time with my cats so they would not be lonely.”
“Shannon did a great job with Near. She is competent, thoughtful and asks great questions. I would definitely recommend her and will book her again when I need a sitter.”
About: Animal lover and bestie since before I could walk! My house growing up felt like a zoo with 10 cats, 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, and my older brother's snake. All those personalities shaped my love for every animal! I’m currently in school full-time at the Fashion Institute of Technology! When I’m not in classes, my schedule is pretty clear to fill up with all the fur babies! For clients, I follow their detailed instructions regarding feeding schedules, medication, and any specific needs or routines. If they’re in my home, I have a separate room where I let the newcomer relax for a few hours before slowly introducing them to my friendliest animals first.
“Alexa was literally fantastic with my two dogs and cat while we travelled across the country. She kept them on a great feeding and potty schedule, and she really did treat them like her own. They were all so happy and excited to see her, and had an excellent week with her. Alexa was super responsive and updated each day with photos of how everyone was doing. When one of my dogs had an eye infection while we were gone she was incredible at communicating and caring for him in our absence. 10/10 we would absolutely book Alexa again!!”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life! Your pet will be treated as if it is my own! Your pet won’t want to leave me! I’m a retired school teacher so I have lots of time to care for your pet with lots of love! Your pet will love me! I live in a condo which is not fenced in. I have a small dog. There is grass area where I can walk the dog .
About: If you’re looking for a kind, compassionate, responsible, trustworthy, fun dog sitter/walker, you have found her! It all began about 16 years ago, while in college, when a friend asked me to dogsit for his family. I always had a love for dogs and animals, so it was the perfect opportunity to start caring for them outside of my family’s home. I have been petsitting part-time ever since! Growing up, my family had a dog for 16 years, as well as a few bunnies, guinea pig, hamster, and parakeets. I always enjoyed taking care of them. I even taught our dog most of her tricks and commands! I had used Rover for a couple of years prior to COVID and it was a wonderful time, but stopped when COVID hit. I just decided to start back up again and can't wait to meet your pet :) I have taken care of all ages & size dogs, including senior dogs with special needs. I have administered medicine & even changed diapers. I have also volunteered at a number of local rescues. If your dog likes adventures to the local beach or park, I am always down for that too! You can expect wonderful moments captured of your furry friend too. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and housesitting. I’ll also take care of your cat and/or other small animals that you may have. I currently work a job that is in the office 4 days a week but is flexible. I go between Patchogue and Deer Park those days, so I’m available to take care of your pets anywhere around those areas. :) While in the comfort of their own home, I will care for your pet as if it were you - following their specific needs and what makes them most comfortable. We will be sure to keep with their routine.
