About: Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I love everything from energetic puppies who need structure and consistency to senior dogs who require patience, gentler movement, and extra attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule to allow plenty of time for walks, feedings, play, and check-ins without rushing, so dogs get consistent attention and care throughout the day. I’m used to planning my day around pets’ routines; morning and evening walks, regular feeding times, and dedicated play or quiet time depending on each dog’s needs. Because of this, I’m reliable with schedules and attentive to details like medication, special instructions, or preferred routines. Dogs in my care aren’t treated like appointments, they’re part of my daily rhythm. This allows me to be present, responsive, and flexible, ensuring each dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Safety and trust are always my top priorities across all services. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so care feels consistent and familiar. For walks, I provide 20+ minute walks focused on safety and enrichment. I use secure leashes or harnesses as instructed, stay aware of surroundings, and adjust pace and distance based on the dog’s age, energy level, and weather conditions. For check-ins (up to three per day), I ensure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive playtime and attention, and are monitored for any changes in behavior or well-being. These visits are never rushed, and I follow all care instructions closely. For pet sitting in your home, I care for pets in their familiar environment to minimize stress. I follow household routines closely, maintain cleanliness and security, respect the home, and ensure pets receive consistent care, companionship, and supervision. I’m attentive to safety, medication schedules if needed, and any special instructions, so pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I communicate regularly with updates and photos, giving you peace of mind throughout your time away.

About: I’ve been caring for pets of all ages and energy levels for years, and I truly treat every animal as if they’re my own. I currently have a poodle named Teddy, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, grooming needs, playtime, and providing consistent, loving care. I also had an 18-year-old Shih Tzu who recently passed, which gave me extensive experience with senior dog care. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to special needs, medications, slower walks, and providing comfort and reassurance to older pets. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve babysat and pet sat for an active family, taking their dogs on hikes, park outings, and plenty of adventures balanced with calm downtime. I’m great at reading a dog’s energy and adjusting care to fit their personality whether that means exercise, enrichment, or quiet companionship. I also have experience caring for cats, including regularly watching my sister’s cat. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, litter care, playtime, and giving cats the space and attention they prefer. What sets me apart is my reliability, strong communication, and genuine love for animals. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, and I’m committed to making both pets and owners feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. I can make any evening or morning work however, best days are Wednesdays and Sundays! I look forward to meeting your pup and am so excited to start! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! I prioritize a safe, calm, and loving environment in both my home and my client’s home. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets supervised, and maintain clean, pet-friendly spaces. I’m respectful of routines, attentive to behavior cues, and always focused on making pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while keeping owners informed.

About: Growing up my family had all sorts of pets. Cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, and lizards. I help take care of and feed, bathe, walk, and created enrichment activities for them. For family friends I’m often asked to help take of their pets while they are away. I can give references if needed! I will be dropping to part time hours mid December in preparation to go back to school and spend time with loved ones for the holidays! In January I will be using this mainly as my part time job as I will be going back to college full time in the area. I can share my schedule once I’m signed up for all my classes. While walking my dog I always keep him on a leash. We practice sitting while cars drive by, focusing on me when in the presence of others. I have a large yard he loves to play in, but it’s not fenced in ( I keep him on a lead). I feed him twice a day and bring him for walks as well as provide enrichment activities. He’s very social and goes to dog parks as well as the pet store to get baths. He’s up to date on all vaccines. I also share a cat with my boyfriend who we feed three times a day in smaller increments ( he sometimes eats to fast and makes himself sick). We play, and snuggle up, he’s really easy going! I’m willing to work with you to make sure your needs and the needs of your fur babies are being met. If you have a particular need, schedule or routine just let me know!

About: I am 30 years old and would love to be your choice to help you take care of your babies! I am an engineer at Entegris and work on site Mon - Fri, 6am - 3:30pm. My hours of availability are 4:30pm - 9:30pm during the work week. I am also available for walking and check-ins on weekends from 8am to 10pm (Saturday & Sunday). I have 2 kids who are 4.5 years and 7 months old respectively, i pick them up from daycare around 4 and then spend the afternoon with my boys. My pup (Sophie) is 7.5 years old and is a beagle/pit mix. I would love to spend some time with your furry family member while you are not able to! I currently work full time and would be able to come play with your pup any time after 4! Unfortunately house sitting will be rather difficult at this time. We have a fenced back yard and live in a quiet neighborhood in Ridgefield. At clients homes I am always respectful of house rules and make sure to follow the guidelines.

About: Dogs are kind of my daily coworkers. I spend my days around animals of all types and personalities, so caring for pets feels second nature to me. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and ages—from bouncy puppies who want to play nonstop to seniors who prefer a slower pace and extra TLC. Long walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention are my favorite parts of the job, and since I work from home, your dog will never be left alone or bored. I’m great at reading animal cues, keeping routines consistent, and making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved, basically treating them like my own. I work from home and I have two acres of property - your pet will not not be alone and can play with my two dogs! I care for pets by treating them like part of the household, whether they’re in my home or theirs. I stick closely to their normal routines—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and downtime—so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention through walks, play sessions, and lots of interaction throughout the day. Since I work from home, pets are rarely alone and always supervised. I’m attentive to individual needs, whether that’s extra play for high-energy dogs, gentle care for seniors, or patience and consistency for puppies. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they always know their pet is happy, safe, and having a great time.

About: We have been offline from Rover, taking repeat customers, and personal referrals, which was keeping us very busy! Since dogs bring so much joy to life, I am dedicating more time to open bookings to new pets. I am a dog lover for a lifetime. As a kid, I would care for strays. As an adult, I have had a dog in my life for the past 30 years- I have adopted 3 full grown, mature labs from various shelters and they all had a great, long life! My current Lab Lulu, is our sitting “mascot” and she welcomes all dogs to our homestay center. She was an adoptee from an elderly couple. My young adult son & dog-lover will be a great co-host to care for and play with your pet. Pets are like family here and they will be loved, cared for and respected. We will give play, attention, exercise, love and create a setting where your pet feels comfortable and not stressed. We should do a meet and greet with our dogs prior to first boarding. The yard here is fully fenced, but I only let dogs out in the yard with supervision. I will give walks/hikes, as you like. Your dog can sleep and hang-out in whatever area of the house is comfortable to him or her. If they prefer a crate, we can. If they prefer their own room, they can have my lower level finished room. If they like to mix it up with the family they can. We cater to your dog and help to diminish their stress and let them be themselves. If the pup is stressed and needs extra attention at night, they can sleep in the bedroom, ( sometimes on the bed, only if you allow that) . I have cared for multiple senior and special needs dogs, providing medication, and special care routines. We look forward to getting to know your loving pet and offering them a home away from home! I have posted a few pictures. Max resting with his new BFF and a Dog Vacay client Duke!! Also some regulars of our Pet loving care Riley, Bella and Tex, Rosie.. Pet Care is a dominant share of our daily lives. Someone is here most of the day, so lots of interaction and attention is provided. If we run out , here or there ( as you would at home) each dog get’s their own space to hang-out. Dogs visiting from different families are only together, when supervised. My Home-Away-Vacay-Stay has a fully fenced yard with plenty of toys. Run of the house and cuddles with our family make your pup feel at home.

About: My husband and I both always had at least two dogs growing up, and absolutely love them. Now we have three kids ages 9-14 who absolutely love them too. We don’t have any dogs of our own, and enjoy providing a fun, safe, loving home to our friends’ pups when they travel! I’m currently working a flexible part time job outside of the home and can work my schedule around dogsitting/dog walking so your pups will be well-cared-for! Our three kids are at school all day, so the dogs can have some quiet time, and the kids absolutely love coming home to play! I have a front hall to safely close pups in if we have to leave them alone for a little while, and a spacious yard to walk them in.

So happy that Abby could help us out, again! Sailor gets very excited to see her! Abby is great at remembering new things and takes great care with our little guy! Sailor looked great upon return and I know Abby gives him lots of attn. and routine, which I appreciate very much! We don't go away often at all-- but needed to twice this summer! And I know having routines helps our dog not feel too anxious with us not here. So, again-- thanks for that, Abby! Thanks for the care and warmth you give Sailor when we are away!
