About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, and have been a pet sitter since I was 10 years old.

“Sarah is such a great communicator, we had the pleasure of meeting her Wednesday and she was walking Tully on Friday! So informative and does a great job with him. Very happy we have someone we can depend on!”

“David is an absolutely phenomenal dog sitter! He took amazing care of my boyfriend and I’s two huskies, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. My boyfriend especially gets so so so anxious about anybody watching them, and for him to be at peace 24/7 knowing David was there should say a lot. He was incredibly responsive and professional throughout the entire process. The numerous photos he sent gave me so much relief and reassurance, knowing my boys were in good hands and having a blast. I highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter! His wife was also extremely sweet and didn’t mind going on walks with our crazy boys and made the cutest art of them.”

About: I have a lifetime of experience with pet care, which began with helping my mom run her in-home dog boarding business when I was growing up. The skills and experience that I've gained in that time enable me to provide the best possible care for your pet. I live with my girlfriend who is a veterinary technician with over 15 years of experience. Ours is a loving home, with a large, securely fenced yard. Our top priority is to keep your dog safe, feeling comfortable, and relaxed, just as they would be in their own home. I offer boarding, walks, in home visits, and more. I am comfortable giving meds, preparing special diets, and caring for puppies as well as seniors. I used to train and show dogs when I was younger, and can help get your puppy off on the right foot with house training. Dog sitting is my only job, and my flexible schedule revolves around that. I can be available at any reasonable time for pick-up and drop off appointments. I'm home almost all of the time to be with the dogs, only leaving to run brief errands when necessary. All dogs are cared for in my home. I have a large, securely fenced in back yard. During the day, dogs are free to be outside to play in the backyard as much as they wish. All dogs sleep in large crates or X-pens in our comfortable dog room at night, or when we are not home. We have a young cavalier who would be happy to have new friends to play with. For safety, I separate dogs for feeding and if we're out of the house, although it's rare that no one is home. Guests need to like other dogs and people.
About: Since I was thirteen, I have stayed home alone while my parents went to work, up to twelve hours on certain days. I have consistently been an owner of five or more dogs at a time, and I would always manage their meals, potty breaks, and everything in between. I am currently unemployed, so I have my entire days to spend taking care of your dog(s). I only keep my weekends to myself, but all day on weekdays are perfect. Whenever I have cared for my dogs, I always took a low-key, chill approach. As long as I know the dogs' tells for wanting to go to the bathroom, as well as general mealtimes, I usually sit with the dogs, give them pets and playtime, and they are generally happy with that.
About: Hello everyone I am looking to make pet sitting a full-time gig because I am a lover of animals and it would fulfill my life if I could be around them and also make a living doing so. I have had animals ever since I was young cats, dogs, rodents, fish, and even chickens at my father's home. I find a great deal and caring for animals because they don't communicate in the same way as humans but they have souls and they are very loving and I honestly enjoy being around them more than people. I would love to meet you and your furry Friends and potentially become a part of each other's lives ❤️ please reach out if you are looking for someone responsible and reliable and compatible to take care of your fur babies while you are out of town! Ideally looking for people who need someone to come to their home and take care of their beloved pets that way! I have transportation and am more than happy to care for them in the place theyre most comfy:) If you need to board your babies I am also available to take them into my house!! However you advise me to care for your little furbaby is exactly how I am going to! Dont worry Ill send lots of cute pictures to ensure that he/she is safe and happy:)
About: Walked and fed my neighbors dog since I was 13, until I moved out of state. Then got my first dog Maia, who is now 7. She had endometria and has arthritis and I’ve been there for her through sickness and health! Also got my second dog Peanut who is the clumsiest bullmastiff ever! He is 4 now. I’m great with big dogs and small dogs. I served in the army where I have dog sat, dropped in for feedings, walked multiple dogs and house sat for multiple friends and colleagues. I’m currently transitioning from active duty and waiting for my Texas nursing license to transfer to a New York. So I’m free to take pups on long walks, spend the day with them or just pop in for feeds! I love playing with dogs and cats. I’m very loving to all animals and will give lots of pets, attention and play with them while caring for them.
About: I have been apart of the veterinary world for 3 years now. I plan to become a veterinarian. I have worked with cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments. I work a full time job but can definitely work walks in around my schedule. I cannot board any animals overnight because I do not have a crate. We have a large yard and lots of area to go for walks. There is a privacy fence in the backyard. There is one indoor/outdoor cat
About: I am a teacher with plenty of love to give! I recently lost my beloved dog to cancer, so I'd love to watch all the dogs I can! I also have one cat in my house who is very laid back and can be separated from your pets if needed. I live by myself in a quiet neighborhood and have a fenced in yard. I love to walk and exercise and look forward to taking care of your furry family members!! I have experience with both dogs and cats, and any pets brought to my home would be the only ones visiting at my home. They’d have their own bedroom space if they prefer a quiet place but are also welcome to follow me everywhere. I enjoy walking dogs and will travel to your pet to care for them as needed. I have time each day to commit to taking care of whatever your pets need. During the summer months I am home most of the day and have plenty of time to play outside or to stop in. During the school year I am gone 8-4, but home evenings. I have a fenced yard and space throughout the home for your pet to relax. I follow close directions and value your pet's safety over anything.

About: I am a recent college grad, went to school at Rutgers University for animal science. Currently I am working as a veterinarian assistant at an animal hospital, and have had experience working at a dog boarding facility. I have hands on experience treating animals, and I also just love hanging out. I am reliable and have my own mode of transportation. Super excited to get to know your furry friend! My major allows me to understand your dog's different behaviors and needs. I live right across the street from a park, so if your dog wants to chase a ball all day or just cuddle and watch movies, I can provide the perfect environment. Fluent in English and Spanish. I am more than happy to accommodate you and your dog.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I looked after neighborhood dogs when the family would be out of town. I walk them, feed them, play with them, and have had dogs stay with me at my home. I take care of my own dog and we are very active. Being active is part of my dog’s breed and is something I could provide for animals that are at home while owners are at work or out of town. I live in a townhome with one dog that will keep your pet busy! Sage loves to play, run, and swim. As far as going to other homes I have stayed in the home for a couple hours playing with the animals. Either one works for me. When we do have another dog stay with us, we constantly stay active and also have time for rest. Dog parks, hikes, walking on the beach, are some examples of activities that I have done with other dogs.
