Cary is a lifesaver!! She made sure my pets were taken care of when I was away at a wedding all day. Multiple check ins, plenty of photos, lots of cuddles given and she even got to spend time with my very shy cat. It is evident she cares seriously for your animals and provides the very best of care. She’s a very kind and sweet woman too! Thank you so much for helping me!

About: Hi! I’m a college student originally from San Diego and recently spent the year living in NYC going to school at Fordham University. Living in the city I gained experience dog walking in a fast-paced environment. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from quick neighborhood walks to longer outings with lots of energy and attention. Back home, I’ve always grown up around animals and currently have a dog named Lucy and a cat named Winter. I am home for the summer and would love the chance to dog walk/pet sit. I’m very active, reliable, and truly love spending time with pets! I’m currently a freshman in college with classes scheduled at different times throughout the week. Many days I have large gaps between classes (for example, a morning class and then another later in the afternoon), which gives me flexibility for mid-day walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I’m very organized with my schedule and plan ahead to ensure I’m reliable and on time. I’m also happy to communicate in advance to coordinate times that work best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m pet sitting in your home or taking your dog on a walk, I stay attentive, aware of our surroundings, and follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. I respect your home as if it were my own and make sure everything is secure before I leave. During walks, I prioritize safe routes, proper leash handling, and keeping your dog comfortable at all times. You can trust that your pet will be cared for in a safe, calm, and loving environment.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who truly can’t imagine life without animals. I grew up on a cattle ranch surrounded by dogs and cats so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. From raising puppies to loving senior dogs through their golden years, I’ve experienced every stage and I cherish them all. I grew up with two Labradors and a Chesapeake Bay Retriever and I currently have an 8 yr old rescue Chiweenie from Mexico and a 13 yr old Goldendoodle. Caring for a senior dog has given me a deep understanding of patience, attentiveness, and gentle care. For the past 7 years, I’ve also volunteered with 2 local dog rescues which has given me extensive experience with all types of dogs including those who are reactive, anxious or strong leash pullers. I’m comfortable administering medication and always approach each dog with a calm and loving energy. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe and completely loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks and jogs, or prefers slow sniff filled strolls or cozy cuddle time at home, I’m happy to meet them exactly where they are. I’m reliable, punctual, and communicative and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel connected and at ease. My goal is to become your go-to, trusted dog walker and someone your dog gets genuinely excited to see! I truly love dogs so much and I can’t wait to meet yours 🤍 I currently have a very flexible schedule which allows me to be fully present during my time with dog. I'm available weekday or weekend care. Safety and trust are everything to me. I take the time to learn your dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can care for them just like you would. On walks, I stay alert and mindful, with experience handling reactive or strong leash pullers, always prioritizing their safety. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and consistent while making sure water is full, feeding routines are followed, and medications are given if needed. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you feel at ease, knowing your dog is safe, happy, and truly cared for ◡̈

Madison was so great! Not only did she take the best care of my senior kitty. She was so kind and went above and beyond to make sure my kitty was so comfortable and loved while we were away. I would highly recommend her. I can't say enough great things!

About: As a flexible college student looking for summer work, I have a schedule that allows me to dedicate reliable time and attention to the pets I care for. I have 3 years of professional pet sitting experience, caring for pets with a wide range of routines and medical needs. I’ve cared for dogs/cats from just a few months old to senior age, requiring extra patience, monitoring, and specialized care. I’m experienced administering oral medications, eye and ear medications, and topical treatments. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions to make sure pets stay safe, healthy, and comfortable. Along with my professional experience, I’ve also owned and cared for dogs, cats, and horses throughout my life. I genuinely love animals and do my best to care for every pet with the same attention and love I would want for my own pets. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. I’ve owned and cared for a dog, six different cats, a horse, and rodents throughout my life. I’m very used to managing feeding schedules, exercise, grooming, cleaning, playtime, and giving animals consistent attention and care every day. As a college student not taking classes over the summer, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible by providing plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and walks. I truly try to care for every pet like they’re my own so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m also very respectful of clients’ homes and leave them as clean, or cleaner, than I found them while carefully following all care instructions.

About: Hi! My name is Jordan, and I’m a 24-year-old active-duty service member with a lifelong passion for animals. My military background has taught me the importance of attention to detail, reliability, accountability, and clear communication—qualities I bring to every pet I care for. Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. At 15 years old, I got my first German Shepherd and worked my first job to support and care for him on my own. He lived a happy, healthy, spoiled life and remained my best friend until he passed at 10 years old. Since then, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and energy levels, including Cane Corsos, Chihuahuas, Beagles, and many mixed breeds. I also have experience caring for small animals and reptiles, including rats, mice, snakes, and bearded dragons. Today, my husband and I share our home with two energetic Australian Cattle Dogs who are truly part of our family. They are spoiled with daily exercise, mental enrichment, adventures, healthy nutrition, training, treats, and plenty of love and attention. Caring for them has given me extensive experience managing high-energy dogs and understanding the importance of both physical activity and mental stimulation. When your pet is in my care, you can expect frequent updates, honest communication, and the peace of mind that they will be treated as if they were my own. I understand that trusting someone with your animal is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, cuddles, structured care, or simply a dependable person to keep them company, I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and positive experience. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work full-time, but I am available every evening after 5:00 PM for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and quality time with your pet. As an active person, I enjoy getting outside for walks and making sure pets receive the exercise, enrichment, and attention they need. Most weekends, I have greater flexibility and am available for walks, drop-in visits, and extended check-ins. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I strive to maintain their normal routines and provide dependable care while you’re away. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and attention to detail during every visit. I will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. At this time, I am not offering boarding services and focus exclusively on walks and in-home visits. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide dependable, professional care that gives you peace of mind while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. During each visit, I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration, and any special instructions. As a military medic with 7 years of experience, I am highly attentive to detail and understand the importance of following directions exactly as provided. Safety is always my top priority. I carefully secure doors, gates, and leashes, monitor your pet’s behavior and well-being, and maintain a clean and respectful environment in your home. I treat your property with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. You can also expect honest, reliable, and frequent communication. I provide updates and photos during visits so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and relaxed, or requires extra medical attention, I am committed to providing compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is simple: to ensure your pet feels comfortable and cared for, and that you return home knowing they were treated like family.

When my husband and I brought home our puppy, Bridget, our biggest concern was how she would be cared for while we’re at work. Alice and Trey alleviated any worries and then some! They are communicative, attentive, and treat Bridget like one of their own. I can go to work with total confidence and peace of mind that she is well cared for and enjoying fresh air, exercise, and socialization. They have been nothing short of a blessing for us as our pup grows!

About: I grew up with several dogs and cats, and I’ve loved taking care of animals since a young age. I have provided loving, caring, responsible pet-sitting support and care-taking duties for family and friends for many years, and I genuinely love dogs and cats of all breeds and ages. I have my own sweet and cuddly 8-year old female yellow lab who is my best buddy, so I truly understand how pets become our beloved family members. My schedule is flexible and I’m usually available on short notice! I look forward to meeting lots of wonderful new furry friends soon. I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is flexible and I’m usually available on short notice! Pet care is a true passion of mine. I have a safe, cozy home for pets and a sweet 8-year old female yellow lab at home who gets along perfectly with other dogs. We live across the street from a beautiful dog park and there are lots of beautiful places to walk and play.

About: Over the past 6 years, I’ve also managed holiday pet sitting for various dogs, ensuring they stay active and happy while their owners are away. What truly sets me apart is my access to professional knowledge; my younger sister is currently in veterinary school. This background makes me extra attentive to pet health and safety. Whether your pet needs high-energy play or a calm companion, I provide a structured and loving environment tailored to their personality. I really enjoy being with cats and usually start my day seeing my own American Shorthair laying right outside my door. Since I work from home, my schedule is very flexible. I can provide consistent companionship throughout the day, ensuring your pet gets plenty of attention, regular breaks, and interactive playtime without me ever having to leave the house. Safety is my top priority, and I’ve learned a lot from my sister who is currently in vet school. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly environment where my cat and your pets can feel secure. When sitting at a client's home, I am extremely diligent about following your specific household rules, double-checking locks, and keeping a close eye on your pet’s behavior and well-being at all times.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, including puppies, so I understand how important patience, attention, and consistency are when caring for pets. I’m very reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether that’s during walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. I also pay close attention to routines and instructions because I know every dog has different needs and personalities. I just graduated college, I am currently not working and home for the summer, so I have a lot of free time and am very flexible. I’ve had puppies and three dogs throughout my life, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m very cautious when it comes to safety and always make sure pets are in a secure, comfortable environment. I pay close attention during walks, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure pets have plenty of attention, water, and care. In a client’s home, I respect their routines and instructions to help pets feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
