Lindsay was amazing! She took my request last minute due to a family emergency and was so kind and accommodating. We had a great meet and greet, and she took wonderful care of my shy dog, Georgia. She sent great updates and made me feel completely at ease. Georgia really took to her, which says a lot. I would absolutely book with Lindsay again!

John, has come in clutch a number of times when we’ve had last minute plans (which is often for my family). He provides great updates and images that allow us to see how well he’s taking care of Marley!

About: We’ve always had pets at our house and cousins’ houses growing up, and as you’ve probably seen in my pictures, I always love being around animals! I’m starting a new position in a few months, and since I love animals, I thought that pet-sitting would be the perfect thing to do in the meantime! It is definitely important to make sure that the pets are taken outside often to go to the bathroom and move around with fresh air. It’s also important to read the body language of the pet- some pets need more exercise than others.

About: Hi there! I'm Erin, a dedicated mother and lifelong animal enthusiast. With a heart full of love for all creatures great and small, I've spent most of my adult life volunteering, fostering, and caring for animals. From dogs to cats and everything in between, I've had the pleasure of nurturing and pampering a wide variety of pets. My journey into pet care started years ago when I began volunteering at local animal shelters and fostering dogs and cats in need. Over time, my passion evolved into a profession, and I've been providing top-notch pet sitting and dog walking services ever since. What sets me apart is the personal touch I bring to every interaction. As a mother, I understand the importance of family, and that includes our beloved pets. That's why I love nothing more than including my own children in our pet visits and walks. Your furry companions not only get the care and attention they deserve but also the joy of interacting with a fun-loving family. At home, our household is a bustling hub of activity, filled with the laughter and energy of children. Alongside my small and sociable Jack Russell Terrier mix and clever cat, we create a warm and welcoming environment for pets of all shapes and sizes. With experience caring for various breeds, including the majestic Great Dane, I'm well-equipped to handle the unique needs and quirks of different animals. Whether your pup needs a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or your cat requires some extra TLC while you're away, rest assured they'll be in loving and capable hands with my family. So, if you're seeking reliable and compassionate pet care services that treat your furry friends like family, look no further. Because when it comes to your pets, they deserve nothing but the best! Pet care is not just a job for me—it's my passion and my primary focus outside of being a mom and pet owner myself. With my schedule wide open and dedicated solely to pet care, I have the flexibility to tailor my daily and weekly routine to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. Each day, I prioritize spending quality time with the pets under my care, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need to thrive. Whether it's morning walks, midday visits, or evening cuddle sessions, I'm there to provide personalized care and companionship every step of the way. My wide flexibility allows me to accommodate the unique needs of each pet, whether it's administering medication, adhering to specific feeding schedules, or simply providing extra TLC for pets with special needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to create a routine that caters to their individual preferences and requirements. By limiting my bookings, I can ensure that each pet receives the care and attention they deserve without feeling rushed or overlooked. Whether it's a one-time visit or a long-term arrangement, I'm committed to providing top-notch care that exceeds both pet and owner expectations. In essence, pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it's the heart of my daily life, and I'm dedicated to making sure every pet feels loved, safe, and cherished in my care. Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priorities. With a spacious 3-bedroom home and a large playroom addition, we offer a welcoming and secure environment for your furry friend to feel right at home. Whether your pet prefers the familiarity of their own surroundings or enjoys exploring new spaces, I can be flexible and accommodating to meet their needs. In our home, your pet will have plenty of room to roam and play, whether they're chasing toys, lounging in cozy corners, or enjoying some quality cuddle time. I understand that some pets may feel more comfortable in their own crates, and I am more than happy to accommodate those preferences to ensure they feel safe and secure during their stay. Outside of our home, we love to explore and embrace the great outdoors, making long evening walks around neighborhoods or adventures in the woods a regular part of our routine. Whether your pet enjoys a leisurely stroll or prefers a brisk run, we're committed to providing the exercise and stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. Whether it's a staycation in our cozy home or a familiar visit to yours, you can trust our family to provide the personalized care and attention your pet deserves. Because when your pet is with us, they're not just a guest—they're a cherished member of our family

Leia had a wonderful walk with Pat. Pat showed up promptly and checked in to make sure everything was okay before the walk. Pat walked her down the road and gave Leia some much needed exercise. Leia had met her previously a while back and took to her immediately again on the adventure of her walk exploring all the scents and sights along the way. It was a cold afternoon but Leia's favorite type of weather with dry ground and flurries in the air and it was fantastic to have the opportunity to get out on a Sunday afternoon after she had been alone all morning. Pat Tolerated Leia's little quirks of being anxious with new experiences and it all worked out beautifully. Leia and I are both looking forward to another walk for her in the future.

About: I am very open in my schedule and absolutely love dogs. I have grown up with at least one dog in my home my whole life and now own my own black lab mix. To me, pets are family! I have been a nanny for many years and all of the families have also had dogs that I would take care of simultaneously. I also worked for a few families to care for their dogs in the past assisting with feedings, play time, and walks. I have some experience training using a clicker as I have trained my own dog and know of little tricks. Dogs brighten up my day and I love being around them whenever I can. I love all breeds and sizes of dogs as well as all other animals. I have been doing this full time for about a year and a half, and am excited to continue! I am always accepting new clients and am working on becoming a certified dog trainer. I am currently pet sitting full time, so my schedule is very open depending on my bookings. I have current dog walks mid-day Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri and those are my only repeat clients weekly. I offer caring for pets in my client’s homes and always make sure to ask about fenced in yards, typical behaviors of the dog, any behaviors I need to watch out for for instance if a dog resource guards or is aggressive with other dogs or people, allergies, and any other precautions I need to be aware of to safely, effectively, and empathetically to take care of the animal. I also only do walks on sidewalks or non busy roads when possible.

About: My whole life as long as I remember I was the biggest pet lover. I had my own pets and I’ve taken care and walked the dogs of my neighborhood. I just love them. I work part time, which gives me a lot of time to do my favorite thing: pet sitting!!! I work part time and have a lot of time for my favorite hobby which is caring for these lovely creatures. I have a fenced in yard and I love walking in the woods with the doggies. I have a fenced in yard and I walk the dogs three times a day. My 2 lovely dogs will keep your dogs company. I will make sure they are spoiled.

About: When I had my two dogs I would watch them whenever I needed to and would provide the care that they needed. I love all dogs and will pet them whenever I get the chance. If I can be around dogs/ cats I will be. I like to take my own dogs for walks and exercise/ do physical activity with them daily. A lot of my family members have dogs and I like to spend quality time with them and be with them when I have the chance. As an athlete myself I understand the importance of exercise if a dog needs to go for a run I am more than happy to take them for one so we both can enjoy our time together. I’m looking forward to hopefully spending time with some new furry friends! I am going to be on summer break and work at my job every other Saturday and Sunday from 3-7 as a definite schedule and weekly shifts can vary based on the week. Depending on if I have work or not my availability will be different. I have a fenced in yard and lots of experience with taking care of animals as I have had a variety of different pets. I know how important pets are to families, so I would never put one in harms way.

About: I’ve cared for dogs most of my life and truly treat them like family. I grew up in a home with four dogs, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I also adopted and lovingly cared for a difficult senior dachshund for years, which gave me valuable experience with patience, senior dog needs, routines, and extra attentiveness. Today I have a large Bernedoodle, so I’m confident handling bigger dogs as well as energetic pups who need exercise and structure. I’m active and love taking dogs on walks, runs, and outdoor time when appropriate, while also making sure they get plenty of affection, snuggles, and supervision. What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love dogs. I understand every dog is different, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work remotely from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day for the pets in my care. Because I’m home most of the time, dogs get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship instead of being left alone for long stretches. My flexible routine also makes it easy for me to stick to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I’m able to provide attentive, consistent care and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving home environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I have a friendly, social dog who enjoys having visitors and does well with other dogs, while always making sure introductions are done thoughtfully and safely. I have a yard for outdoor time, and while it is not fenced, I use a secure runner/tie-out system and close supervision so dogs can safely enjoy fresh air, potty breaks, and time outside. I also keep dogs leashed on walks and anytime they are outdoors for added safety. If your dog is crate-trained or more comfortable with their own space, I’m happy to accommodate crating and follow your normal home routine. I always aim to keep pets on their regular schedule for feeding, exercise, rest, and any medications or special instructions. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.
