About: I have taken care of animals since I was young. My daughter and I watched pet from when she was 13 till she went to college. I have experience with my own pets puppies through senior. I’m currently retired and working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies. I can do drop ins too. I love being around animals and do some snuggles too. I will do house sitting and drop ins. My dogs are treated like our kids. Will walk, play, snuggle and anything else they need. ❤️

“Kayla took Luna on a lovely walk while I was gone for the day! Luna loved her walk and was definitely tired for the rest of the day. Kayla was very communicative and even arrived early after checking it was okay to do so!”

About: I’ve taken care of many types of animals for over 10 years. I love working with animals, specifically learning how I can take the best care of them. It makes me happy to keep pets and the environment as healthy as possible.💚😁 I have a ginormous yard where there is plenty of space to walk, run, and play around. I am usually visit pets 2-3 times a day, anytime during the day and possibly available for over night stays. If there is anything else you or your pet needs, just ask!! I have a very large yard with no fence. I can keep dogs on a leash if needed. There’s plenty of space to run and play.

“Brendan is amazing with my dog. She can be timid and they became best friends after their first walk. I would highly recommend Brendan!”

About: I’ve been hugging dogs since I was a kid, and I’d love to hug yours! Penny, Ciel, and I enjoy hosting furry friends - I take care of them and they play hard with them! Please note: *I cannot currently accept bookings for unneutered/intact male pups *I host a large, rambunctious group of pups throughout the week - pups who prefer quiet, calm environments may not have an enjoyable experience here, and I will happily recommend sitters who may be a better fit for your family Hosting pups is my full-time job - your pups become part of our family while they’re here! I spend my days with our guests, playing and chatting with them, and can attend to everyone’s needs regularly throughout the day. My 24/7 dedication to giving your pups the best experience while away from your home makes me a great choice for day care and socialization opportunities! I accept bookings between 7am and 7pm; I will consider bookings outside these hours on a case by case basis, potentially for an additional cost. My availability for picking up and dropping off is limited but I aim to be as flexible as possible. Reach out with your needs and we’ll work out an arrangement that works best for all of us! My entire yard is fenced in - there’s room to run full speed! I can adjust feeding schedules as needed to accommodate your dog’s diet. In good weather, pups are free to go inside and outside at their leisure. I don’t require pups to use crates while I’m gone or overnight, but if you prefer your pup be crated at any time, I’m happy to do that and have multiple available. Male pups will wear a belly band for the first 24 hours of their stay, at minimum - this soft, absorbent band fits around their belly and attaches with Velcro on their back. Belly bands reduce marking behavior, especially in unneutered males. You may bring your own, but I supply them, free of charge. Using belly bands keeps our home calmer, cleaner, and fresher by eliminating marking behavior and reduces anxiety for future pups by giving them less reason to want to mark over the scent of previous pups. I have indoor and outdoor security cameras in many locations that can be helpful to review if any safety situations arise. The safety of all of our pups is very important to me! (They’re also great for catching fun footage!)

“Emma is the best! She's punctual and thorough and best of all, my dog LOVES her. It's been such a help to know Stella's getting exercise while I'm at work.”

“Jade is an awesome dog walker- very reliable, friendly, responsive if we need a change of plans or help with one of our three dogs. Dogs really like her!”

About: Growing up, my family had all kinds of dogs, from St. Bernards to pugs to lhasa apsos to labradoodles. Most we got as puppies, though some we took in from family friends. I'm fine with all dogs, even large ones or bully breeds. I like to go for long walks, so I'm happy to give your dog some exercise. I work standard hours, but I'm up early and have a fairly flexible schedule as long as I have prior notice, so I can still stop in before or after work or on my lunch break. I work in town and have a car, so transportation isn't a problem. I'm a librarian-- a very privacy-oriented field-- and am very cautious in other people's homes. My focus will be on taking care of the pet and not disturbing the home otherwise.

“Caylin is seriously the sweetest to our Henry. We all love her!”

About: Ever since I've learned to talk I've expressed my love for animals(my first word was"kitty"). I currently have two cats at home who are my world. I have had cats all of my life, and I was also lucky to have the greatest dog for 16 years. I have helped my mom care for her senior dogs throughout the years, and enjoy participating in the local animal shelters"Doggy Day Out" program. I will treat your pet with the same love and care I do my own. I look forward to either checking in on them where they are most comfortable (their home), taking dogs on walks (while telling them how adorable they are of course) and boarding cats when your plans take you away from home. I work full time M-F, but I have fairly flexible 1 hour long lunch breaks (I am able to choose the time of day) and I'm off by 4:30. Happy and willing to check on your pets before work as well if needed. I am unable to host dogs at my apartment. My dog services will consist of drop ins, house sitting, or walking. I taking dogs to the park if weather and behavior permit.

“We have had Chelsea in our lives for over a year. She has been with us for our fostering and a recent adoption of another kitty. We have a total of 6 pets (1 dog and 5 kitties) she looks after when we are on vacation. During the week, she comes over 3 times a week to walk our lab. She is definitely an adopted member of our family. Our lab goes flying through the house when she hears the front door unlock and several of our cats will even come running. Everyone in our house loves Chelsea. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her not only as a sitter, but as a person. You will not be disappointed with the care and love she gives your furbabies.”

About: I grew up in a family with both cats and dogs (both small and large!) ever since I can remember. As an undergraduate student, I volunteered at an animal hospital, where I worked with an even larger array of pets. Since then, I have adopted two spunky cats named Tula and Zola, whom I adore. I am currently a medical student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to walk, play, and care for all the needs of your fur children. I am available to walk, play, and check-in pets most times depending on the week. I have a large fenced yard and two cats to keep your pet company if you choose to have your pet stay at my house.

“Absolutely delighted to work with and very professional!”

About: I’ve always had cats and adopted a puppy 3 years ago, I’ve also spent lots of time with other peoples pets and have helped with some foster animals. I’m working part time and going to school. With school I’m doing mostly online and only go in on Thursdays for an hour so I will have plenty of time. My job is also very flexible so if I’m ever needed it’s easy for me to be there. I understand that every animal and owner are different and have different routines. My dog goes and daily walks, has lots of play and cuddle time. My cat is very independent so he’s very low maintenance. One of my clients has two cats and three dogs, one of her dogs needs medicine daily and I always made sure she got her medicine on time. I also cleaned the litter box multiple times throughout the week I was there and made sure the house was clean before they came home.
