Amanda was great with our kitties while we were away on vacation! She sent lots of updates with photos/videos and was very respectful of our space. Amanda went above and beyond during meal times as our kitties need to be separated and can be picky eaters. I would highly recommend Amanda for any of your pet care needs!

About: New clients use my code for $20 off: NATALV74909 I am a passionate animal lover with over 13 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I am a kind and compassionate person who treats every animal as if they were my own. When you bring your furry friend to my home, you can rest assured that they will receive the highest quality of care. My experience working with animals has given me a deep understanding of their behavior and needs. I know how to provide personalized care to each animal in my care, whether they need extra attention, a special diet, or medication. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and get joy from seeing them happy and healthy. When you leave your pet with me, you can be sure that they will receive the love and attention they need while you're away. My years of experience, passion for animals, and comfortable home make will be the perfect choice for anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. I'm a junior college student, most of my classes are online so my schedule is very flexible, I usually walk them around my complex or take them to the dogs park with the owners permission I have an unfenced yard, toys, and bowls. I can administer medicine, give them baths, clean their ears and trim their nails. I worked in an animal hospital and a farm so I have a lot of experience handling animals :)

About: I am a receptionist at Rocky Point Animal Hospital and it is my pleasure to care for your dog. In my previous life I was a design program manager within corporate tech and im thrilled and privileged to pivot into pet care. Like seriously. I am not intimidated by dogs of any size or breed. Throughout my life I have cared for dogs of every size, flavor, and temperament. Guys, I just really love dogs. I have extensive experience training and caring for dogs, and quite frankly I've watched a whole lot of Westminster dog show. I am happy to walk or jog to help burn canine energy. Additionally, I have been deeply involved in cat rescue since 2020 when I began working remotely. I have fostered dozens of cats over the years. This includes kittens with medical issues due to their time outside. I am very capable at medicating cats and kittens as well as identifying when a cat may be feeling unwell. Feel free to reach out with any additional questions. I'm currently working part-time at a vet hospital, so I have plenty of availability and scheduling flexibility. If boarding or house-sitting I will pop home at lunch to care for your pet. Pets will never be alone for more than 5 hours. And even that would be a rare occurrence. I have a friendly chihuahua mix (8 lbs) and 3 cats, but if needed, I have plenty of room to give everyone their own space. I have an unfenced backyard with plenty of room to romp. Dogs will always be leashed or tethered in yard.

Chris is awesome! He was so easy to communicate with and you can tell he really loves dogs. I do not trust my dog with anyone outside the family, but I do trust him with Chris for 2 most important reasons. He has health issues and needs medication, and he is a runner. Being a Hound, he can even get away from me! It is very difficult to keep him safe. I trust Chris with him totally. I can rest easy when he is with Chris, and I do not have to worry about him being in a crate all day. Thank You Chris for being there for us!

About: I am a loving and caring person who loves to take care of animals. My current job is flexible, I work from home (I work with mental health clients) which makes me available for you when you need me. I have had dogs all my life and know how to make them happy. My most recent dog was a yellow lab who passed away in Feb 2021 at 13 years old. Before that I had a pit mix. I can call or text you while I’m with your pet to keep you well informed of how he/she is doing. I am a kind and gentle person who would love the opportunity of taking care of your pet. Currently I am living in Rocky Point with my 20 Year old daughter and have a lot of flexibility as to hours. Pet care falls easily into my daily routine as I work from home. My hours are very flexible. I am available at short notice and don’t mind if you need to cancel last minute. I have a good sized fenced yard. I also have the space to crate your fur baby if necessary. I enjoy taking them on walks you’d like and live a great neighborhood for dog walking (away from main road).

Kathy knows her business and has a natural connection with dogs. Our little Chihuahua mix is very shy with strangers, but Kathy gave her a "massage" that immediately won her over. We were very comfortable knowing Kathy was taking care of our dog and two cats for the holidays. Highly recommended.

About: I’ve previously worked for another pet service where I took dogs on walks and did drop-in visits. I also have some experience with cats, but I have a 5-year old dog myself. I have experience taking care of elderly dogs as I dog sat for a family friend for a few months and stayed the night at their house once a week. I would take the dog for walks, spend time with him and give him any medication he needed. I love animals and it doesn’t feel like work to take care of them for me. I am a teacher, so I am free during school breaks and on weekends. When I am not working full-time at school, pet care will be my first priority. I will listen to any requests made by the pet owner for what they want me to do, such as letting them out in a fenced backyard or keeping them on a leash. I also have experience crate training my dog and find that can be a safe place for dogs too.

About: I’ve been animal lover for as long as I can remember. From reptiles to puppies to birds I treat every animal with love and respect. Due to never having an ideal living situation to be caring pets, I’ve never had a pet of my own. However, I’ve always been surrounded by my friends, families, coworkers and neighbors pets. I have watched cared for their pets at my home, their home and even just out and about many times over the years. This has given me experience with a countless amount of pets of all kind and I fall in love with each and every one! I’d love to spread that love a little further to all who will allow me to share :) I work a part-time job at the moment and I’m looking to fill my extra time with something I love. I’ll have more than enough time to devote my utmost attention to your loved one! I’m also athletic myself so even the high energy fur balls get the best of me! I am very big on boundaries and structure. I will make sure to follow any guidelines that you already have in place for your pet.

Hannah was an amazing sitter! She stepped in at the last minute when another sitter same-day cancelled, and saved me from cancelling my trip. She was very communicative, flexible, helpful, and took excellent care of my dog. I got many pictures and updates throughout the weekend which always puts my mind at ease. I would absolutely book Hannah to care for my dog again, and so appreciate her help!!

About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life and bring a calm, attentive, and personalized approach to every animal I watch. I understand that each pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to adjust my care to fit their needs—whether that means playful energy, quiet companionship, or a little extra patience. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats, including senior pets and those who may need medication, and I’m very mindful about keeping their environment clean, safe, and stress-free. I also have experience in multi-pet households, so I’m comfortable managing different temperaments while making sure every pet feels secure and cared for. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and truly at home. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday routine, and I’m home most of the week to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care. I keep a consistent schedule with potty breaks, meals, playtime, and rest, making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I’m only away briefly once a week, and I always plan around that to make sure pets are still well taken care of. I truly enjoy being present with them, creating a calm, loving environment where they can feel relaxed, safe, and happy. I create a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and at ease. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine and personality, making sure to follow all care instructions and keep things as consistent as possible for them. In my home, pets are always supervised, and I take care with introductions and space to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I’m very mindful of safety, from secure spaces to feeding routines and behavior monitoring. My goal is to provide a calm, stress-free environment where pets feel safe, respected, and truly cared for.

I recently used Tricia for the first time for two nights of pet sitting with my senior chihuahua, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She was incredibly professional, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She took such amazing care of my dog and kept me updated the entire time with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It meant everything knowing Winnie was in such good hands. I will absolutely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!

About: I don't just walk dogs and drop in to take care of a cat. I take the time to play with them and keep them company so they don't feel alone while the person they love the most is not around for the brief moment. I am an independent Contractor who works with Autistic Adults. I create my own work schedule so I am flexible and available to take care of your fur baby. When coming into your home, I will slowly open the door but not all the way. I wouldn't want to chance a fur baby running away. If it's a dog, I will wait by the front door and allow your dog to approach and sniff me. We can take as long as needed so your puppy feels ok with me. If it's a cat, I will go searching and slowly approach with my hand extended so they can sniff me and see Im harmless. I am all about making my time with them as least stressful as possible. And of course if they want to play a bit, I'm all for it.😁

About: I have 4 of my own furbabies but have had dogs/cat and a variety of other pets my entire life. I started dog sitting for neighbors, friends and family when I was about 15 years old which included walks, meals, playtime and overnight stays. I’m also comfortable administering insulin injections as well as medications. I have a true passion for animals especially Shelter and Rescue pups (although all pups are perfect!) My husband and I even volunteered on our honeymoon at Vialobos Pitbull Rescue! You'll usually find me at a party sitting on the floor with the dog, asking strangers if I can pet their pups, or sharing unsolicited photos of my own puppers. I’m also very active and love pups that don’t mind daily walks or going on a nice run! I’ve found that dogs make the best running buddies. I've raised puppies of my own, pup-sat for puppies and in multi-pup homes and have experience with the sweet gray-faced seniors. I don’t mind assisting with special needs pups, mobility issues, diaper changes or sponge baths, I’ve done it all. I also have experience with all breeds, from the peanut pups to the big ol' pibbles. Don’t let my small size fool you, I can easily pick up a 150lb pup with ease if needed!

About: I’ve taken care of my friends pets when they have been away on vacation and needed a sitter for their dog. The dog has always been walked, fed and taken care of so when they get back from vacation they are always happy with the treatment the dog received I’m working a full time job so I am mostly available on the weekends and during the week I am available in the night time if needed, after 730 or early in the mornings before 8 AM during the week! I am unavailable during the middle of the days during the week just because I’ll be at work I have cared for many pets in my friends homes before. I personally do not have a pet for myself but I have been surrounded by animals my whole life from friends and family

We had an excellent experience with Jessica! She took care of our two cats for a week, including one who has a chronic condition and requires meds twice a day. From the start, she was incredibly attentive, responsible, and compassionate. She followed all care instructions carefully, kept us updated regularly, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear our cats were in great hands. We came home to happy kitties and everything just as we left it. I’m so grateful for the peace of mind Jessica gave us and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!
