About: Compassionate Pet Care Backed by 21 Years of Experience, focused on delivering safe, patient, and dependable care so you can feel confident your pet is in loving hands. I work full time while attending school, during the day and I am currently available: 4:30 PM until 8:30 PM (M-F) All day on Weekends. I care for pets as if they were my own, always prioritizing their comfort, safety, and routine. In my home or in a client’s home, I follow each pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and rest to minimize stress. I provide patient, attentive care and closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. I’m experienced with pets of all ages, including seniors and those who need extra patience or special care. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos so they feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

Fantastic experience! Nicole provided wonderful care for my cat. I especially appreciated her expertise in administering medication. Going above and beyond, she even grabbed a delivery from my porch and placed it inside for me. Truly a top-notch and trustworthy sitter!

About: I've had dogs all throughout my life, currently I have a German Shepherd and I recently adopted a Golden Retriever puppy. I've worked in the pet care field in the past as well, and I am comfortable taking care of dogs of any age. I have no issue providing any necessary medication for an elderly pup either. I'm currently available 24/7 for pet care. I keep my pets crated overnight, so I would prefer crate trained pups for any boarding visits, but I am open to discussion on the matter. I do not have a fenced in yard (yet) but I do have a lead in my back yard so your fur babies will have a safe place to go potty and get some exercise. I also have 2 friendly pups for them to play with.

About: I have been dog sitting/own dogs since the age of 16. I am a huge animal lover and treat all animals as if they’re like a child. Love them all! I currently work a corporate job, so I would be at work the hours of 8-5. I work a hybrid schedule so I am home 2/5 days all day as well. It is flexible and I can work around schedules as well. I am off the weekends as well! I have a ton of grass around my apartment, plenty of toys. And plenty of love to offer to all animals! I also am a available to go to the house to watch as well!

Lindsey, her husband Bobby and the whole family from the meet and greet on were wonderful. It’s the first time I had to get a sitter that wasn’t family or a friend, so I was nervous, and I’m just a nervous dog mom in general. But the whole time they kept me updated and reassured me the whole time I was away. I will definitely be booking again if needed! Thank you all so much for taking such great care of my fur babies.

All went smoothly. We didn't worry about the dogs and it was so nice that they got to stay home instead of going to the kennel. Happy with the service.

Halie was wonderful! Our dogs were happy and healthy when we got home which is so great! Hailie took them for walks and played ball with them and gave them the love they needed. One of our dogs was shy for the first day but not for long before he was excited to see her. I highly recommend Halie and will happily call her again for our next trip!

About: My partner and I both work fully remote so we’re home all day with a ton of flexibility for long walks and activities. He’s had golden retrievers in the family since childhood and I’ve rescued several dogs from the Dominican Republic. Currently, we don’t have any pets in our home as they’re all with other family members. With that said, we miss the pup cuddles and would love to give your pet the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. We’re extremely flexible with our work schedules and enjoy getting distracted by furry friends :) Between the two of us, we’ll take turns going on walks/to the dog park if the weather is decent. Attention to the pet is beneficial to all parties. We are practically step-parents to many friends/families animals so have become familiar with how much love and care they need. Your pets should feel at home in ours. Mi casa, Su casa.

About: Growing up I always had a dog and cats. They bring so much joy into my life. I am currently taking time off from nursing as we had our first son in August. So I am a stay at home mom. My husband and I have an English Cream Golden Retriever who is now 5 years old! I have experience training puppies, giving medications, walking dogs. Very flexible. Occasionally might have to have my 10 month old son with me for drop ins or walks. Would want to make sure cats/dogs are comfortable around kids. Thanks! They would get a lot of outside time! Large yard in the woods. Can keep them on a leash if needed as it is not fenced in.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was little and my neighbor would have me walk their dogs or watch them when they went on vacation. I love pets! My camera roll is full of photos of all the animals in my life. I love walking, playing, and chilling with pets of all kind. I’ll provide reliable and trustworthy care for your fur babies! I’m currently working part time- with shifts no longer than 4 hours at a time, meaning I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets!! I’m a college student back for summer break so I have lots of free time and want to be getting outside on walks more. I’ve previously stayed in client’s homes to watch their pets. My approach to that is to go with the flow of the pets and their owners- following their routines and habits. Additionally, it’s incredibly important to be respectful in someone’s space.

Hello, Rob was great with Bernadette. She was a little timid with him but he was very patient and loving with her. He kept me updated through his visits and that helped to lower my anxiety. I would highly recommend him and if he is available, would definitely ask if he could help with Bernadette again.
