“Jennifer always takes great care of our dogs and cats. She's a reliable and caring pet sitter who provides a peace of mind that our pets are in good hands.”
“Barb was fantastic! I really appreciated her help and she did a great job watching over my cat for a few days. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my two lab mix dogs for 14 years and many others before Annie and Copper. Annie is a senior with issues such as she’s almost totally blind and her hips are very stiff but she still loves her walks. I’m patient and don’t mind cleaning up her accidents. My son flies me to Long Island 3 times a year to cat sit for Thea and Ollie and they are a joy! I would never rush and will always provide quality time with your pet. I took an early retirement in 2020 during Covid so I have plenty of time and I enjoy walking. I try to get in an average of 12,00 steps a day. I’m very respectful of other people’s property. I couldn’t care for a pet in my home because of my two dogs. They’re older and very set in their routine. I’m very used to feeding and washing out their bowls and making sure they always have water. Picking up after them is something I try to do asap. It’s more sanitary to always keep up with it and it also keeps them from stepping in it the next time they go out. I also cat sit for my neighbor and my son so scooping is no big deal either. If needed, I can brush your pet, wash their face, wipe their feet and even bathe if necessary.

About: I grew up always having a pet to call my own. I have recently adopted a 2 year old pitbull name Gizmo! We are always out for a nice stroll on the beach, sitting on a restaurant patio or cuddling on the couch watching a scary movie. My love for animals started at a young age. I grew up with all different kinds of animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits and even a hedgehog. I am able to easily adapt to all types of dogs and routines. I am a responsible and dependable caretaker with always room in my heart for another animal! I am available after 3:00pm everyday of the week except for Mondays! I have a full time job during the week but will always make time to care for your pet in the evenings. I have grown up around cats and dogs my entire life so I am open to all breeds and personalities! I will adjust my energy and personality based on your pet's needs.

About: I treat my own pets like children and would love to do the same for others. I know how difficult it could be to plan trips with pets especially finding a trustworthy candidate to take care of your furry companions. Grew up on a farm with lots of animals, I currently have two of my own and a horse. Growing up I was always everyone’s go to pet sitter and I took it as a major compliment someone would want me to take care of their pets. I make my own work schedule so I can come and go as needed. I enjoy taking dogs for walks or playing with them to get out some energy. For me I make it a priority to mentally stimulate dogs as much as physically ! I have a fenced in yard and a secluded area to take pets for walks/play. I also have a fenced in dog park right across the street that is a little bigger than my yard I like to use as well. I like to make sure all pets stick to their usual routines when it comes to eating/potty breaks abs play time. I can accommodate dogs who might not get along with other pets in my home as well.
“We were very happy with Emma! We had a last minute need for drop-in dog care, and Emma did a great job. We felt very comfortable leaving Winston in her care, and he had a great time with her.”
“Pat was excellent! She took great care of my two dogs. She was great at communicating with me before, during and after the the weekend. The pups loved her!!”
About: I am a mom of 2 little humans and a dog mommy of 2(now) senior pups and a military spouse. I have grown up with dogs all of my life! I currently have two dogs of my own, that we have had since they were 8 weeks old and they are now going on 9 years old. I pet sit for friends and neighbors regularly. My shiba Inu is diagnosed with glaucoma so I am capable and have been trained to give medications and eye drops. I am prepared to care for higher needs animals who may need a little extra love. My kids and I LOVE dogs and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with them. I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your dogs at home while going on a vacation or a trip back home to visit family when you’re unable to bring them. I strive to help other families feel comfortable having to leave them and lessen that anxiety while they get that much needed trip. I will care and love on your animals as they are my own. I have spent time fostering as well and have been around a diverse group of dogs. My children are both now in school and I couldn’t imagine spending my time any other way than loving on and caring for pets. My dream job once my husband retires out of the military is to own a doggy day care or start my own foster agency. I hope that you can trust me with your furbabies as this is something I’m truly passionate about. I am happy to accommodate any needs your babies will have. I am comfortable with all breeds! I can't wait to meet your babies! I am Free from 9:35 am-3pm and again from 4-10. I may be able to make special arrangements and rearrange my schedule depending on your needs. I myself, take my dogs for daily walks and have a large back yard with a fenced in yard and kids who love the interaction with fur babies! I attempt to include my dogs in the majority of activities and make my schedule around them! My dogs love going for car rides, walks, fetch, swimming in ponds, lakes and rivers. They love our camping and beach trips as well. I will give your dogs my undivided attention while I am with them. I will love and care for them as my own! Who wouldn’t want to make a dog feel loved and happy?! I will give them all of the pets and love in the world.I will play fetch, tug o war, feed them, walk them, cuddle, snuggle. All with permission from the owner, of course. Do they have a special diet restriction? I can help with that!

They were just as loved as they were with me. She was detailed oriented, caring, loving. She did exactly as asked and more.
