About: I love dogs and have cared for Buffy, my heart and life, for the past 9 years. A couple years ago I finally was in a place to bring a kitten home, so the two brighten up my life every single day. I look forward to taking care of your loved ones as well. I work from home and have flexible hours, so I can make things work especially with advance notice. Please reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate. I will follow all instructions and shower them with care and affection. I love living in JP because there are so many good places for walks. Where does your pup like to go?

About: I have rescued birds, kitty’s that have been thrown in the trash and puppies. My cat has had 4 litters, I have helped her deliver all those kittens and I helped her take care of them like they were my own. I have taken care of animals since I was born. I have always loved them and trying to spend as much time with them as I can, they help me think and relax. I also want to work with animals professionally in the future, but we all start somewhere right? I also own two pets, one cat (Amanda) and a puppy, which is a rescue (Gigi) I can take care of small dogs and any kind of cat, I am happy with taking care of any breed. I don’t have any specific request, all I ask for is for specific times and dates, thank you!!! When I take care of pets I treat them like my babies, I make sure they’re fed, they get their playing time and also a few snuggles every couple of minutes. My favorite part is meeting them, these situations are always scary but eventually it turns into a kindergarten class lol.

“Ainsley was fantastic with our in home visits with our dog Tuukka. She always sent me pictures and was great with responding in a timely manner. Thank you Ainsley!”

About: Hi there! I’m originally from Russia and have loved animals since I was a child. Unfortunately, I was never allowed to have pets of my own growing up, so I always gave my love and care to the animals of my friends especially when they traveled. I was often trusted to care for their dogs, from small to large breeds, while they were away. In 2021, I also completed a short grooming course in Russia and learned how to provide basic care routines like brushing and gentle hygiene. What I can offer your dog: - Long, active walks in any weather - Drop-in visits or full house sitting - Experience with senior dogs who need calm and patience - Giving medication (oral pills, eye drops, etc.) - Ear cleaning and light hygiene care - Brushing during shedding season - Vet trips if needed (transportation and assistance) - Calming anxious or stressed dogs, keeping them engaged and safe - Following feeding and medication schedules precisely - Photo/video updates while you’re away -Optional pet photo sessions: I have strong photography and editing skills and can do studio or mobile photoshoots on request My schedule is flexible, so feel free to reach out and ask about specific days or times. I’m always happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet and see what I can accommodate :) The thing that’s really important to me: I never combine pets from different households during walks or pet-sitting visits. When you book me, my time and attention are dedicated exclusively to your pet (or pets, if you have more than one). No shared walks with other clients’ dogs! And i always follow your care instructions closely to keep your pup happy, safe, and stress-free. Good food, games, and affection are my recipe for a happy dog.

“We chose Caleb because he was a cat-forward sitter, and he took great care of our special needs cat! She received plenty of attention and all of her medications as needed. Caleb shined even more caring for our aging and declining senior dogs who started needing extra attention as our trip came closer. We greatly appreciated Caleb and would happily rehire him!”

Kevin F.

“Val was super nice and communicative! We loved reading the updates and seeing all the pictures. It’s always hard leaving the cats, but she made us feel like they were safe and cared for.”

About: I started dog walking when I was 12 years old and have been caring for animals in many ways since! I have fostered kittens, dog sat and have had many pets of my own. I currently have four cats, including a senior cat, a dog, chinchillas and a snake! I have experience with senior pets who have arthritis as well incontinence/diapering and am able to provide care for your pet no matter their age or needs. I can even give your dog a bath if it is needed. I have given baths to cats but only those with a calm temperament. I will treat your pet with the utmost love, care and respect. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I have full availability, 7 days a week, to help you with your pet care needs. I am available to walk your dog (even your cat!), pop in to feed your pet and play with them, and even stay overnight to care for them when you are away. For Dogs: When caring for your dog in your home, I will walk them regularly and always respect their safe spaces. I will ensure that they always have a full water bowl and feed them when needed. If you have a particularly energetic dog, I can walk them more frequently. If your dog has a fear of storms, I will sit by them and soothe them for as long as they need to make them feel safe. For Cats: When caring for you cat in your home, I will be sure to play with them if they show interest, respect their safe spaces and if your cat enjoys walks (mine does!), I will happily take them out for a walk! I will ensure that their litter boxes are always clean, their water is full and feed them when needed.

“Samantha has been amazing. From our initial meet and greet to multiple visits with my kitten, she has been thoroughly communicative, polite, and professional. She has great attention to detail and went above and beyond in providing updates. She even put the cat food away neater than I had left it for her. As a first time pet parent, I felt very comforted that my cat was in kind and safe hands. Beyond feeding, I mainly wanted a companion for my kitten as she is young, and Samantha played with all her favorite toys with her. I’d trust her with anyone’s pet, and I can’t wait to use her services again. Thank you Samantha!”

Tessa P.

“Sent great pictures, was very communicative, and reached out as soon as she had any issues. We greatly appreciated her availability, timeliness, and friendliness while watching our three pets! Handled providing a variety of medications well.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for most of my life. From a very young age, I’ve felt a strong sense of empathy toward them, and I think that love for animals definitely runs in my family. I grew up around people who have always treated pets as part of the family, and that shaped the way I see and interact with animals today. I’ve learned to notice the little things — their body language, moods, boundaries, and individual personalities. I’m especially patient with pets who are shy or need a little more time to feel comfortable around someone new. More than anything, I genuinely love being around animals and want every pet in my care to feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their person is away. As a college student, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and longer periods of pet sitting, including on many weekends. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I’m always happy to make room for it in my routine. I know how much trust it takes to leave both your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and try to keep each pet’s usual routine as consistent as possible. I pay attention to their behavior and comfort level, respect their boundaries, and make sure they have a safe and calm environment. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I’ve found my love for taking care of pets since I was 4 years old. From caring for my first pet as a child to being an aunt to my best friends cat in PA school, I am highly trusted to provide high quality care and unconditional love for any pet in my presence. My schedule is flexible! I’m a physician assistant, so my weeks are a mix of clinic and administrative work. Depending on my schedule, I’m able to stop by before work, during lunch, or after work. I’m also happy to do stay-ins when needed! My weekends tend to be especially flexible as well, and I’m always happy to work with your schedule and accommodate your pets’ needs as much as possible :) My current living space is not equipped to offer care at my home, but I will care for any breed/size/age dog in a client’s home. I am adaptable and willing to do any tasks needed to ensure the pet feels loved, happy, and comfortable.

About: Prior to dog walking, I worked for 3 years at a well loved, reputable dog boarding, training, and daycare facility in NH. There, I cared for dogs with a range of behavioral backgrounds and medical needs, including many that were turned away from other facilities for behavioral problems. I prioritize meeting dogs where they're at with compassion and being aware of their boundaries and needs. I have availability most days, and keep my Rover calender up to date with any days I will be unavailable or out of town. Open to last minute bookings. I am happy to care for your dog(s) in your home in a way that accomadates their unique needs. I will follow any instructions you leave me. Does your dog have some quirks or preferences you'd like me to know about? Let me know!

About: Hi, I’m Sydney! I grew up in East Tennessee, usually with two dogs and sometimes a cat, and I’ve taken equal responsibility for every pet in my house since I was a kid. I’ve been taking big dogs along for my runs since I was 11 (a Doberman and a 110 lb pit/lab mix 💗), so strong pullers and high-energy dogs don’t intimidate me. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size, senior dogs (my favorite), puppies, cats, and reptiles. I am familiar with heat lamps, feeding schedules, and basic habitat care. I have a tortoise named Charlie (short for Charlemagne), and my family kept a bearded dragon for 8 years. I work part time as a barista, so I’m up early and free in the evenings, which makes me a good fit for morning and after work walks, drop in visits, and house sitting. My parents taught me early that pets are a serious commitment, so I’m calm and level-headed in stressful situations. I’ve also fostered dogs, puppies, and kittens, helped raise a litter of puppies at home, and even cared for the odd bunch of chickens and bees! I’m patient with anxious or shy animals, confident with strong personalities, and consistent about routines. DOG EXPERIENCE I’ve worked with dogs my whole life and I take their manners seriously. I’m experienced with basic training, including house breaking, sit, stay, and shake (right and left paw), and I’ll reinforce whatever cues and routines your dog already knows so they stay consistent while you’re away. I have strong opinions about leash etiquette: no pulling, no lunging at passersby, calm greetings, and good manners around other dogs. I’ve been handling big, strong dogs that weigh twice as much as I do for over a decade, so I’m confident keeping control while still having a fun walk! I’m comfortable giving medications, and light/basic grooming (brushing, etc.), so I’m happy to help keep up with your routine. SENIOR DOGS Senior dogs are my favorite. I’ve cared for many older dogs over the years, especially big breeds with joint issues, so I know how to adjust a walk to what they need that day: shorter, slower, and with plenty of breaks. I can watch closely for mobility issues and let you know right away if something seems off. I’ve also looked after dogs with breed-specific skin issues, so I’m comfortable with the extra care that can involve, like medicated baths, topical treatments, keeping skin clean and dry, and spotting flare-ups early. I can follow a medication or supplement schedule, and I know older dogs do best with routine and gentle handling. CAT EXPERIENCE I grew up with cats and know how to read their body language and give them space until they’re ready for attention. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and giving medication if needed. I’ve also fostered kittens. I’ll send updates with photos so you know your cat is relaxed and happy. REPTILE EXPERIENCE I have a tortoise named Charlie (short for Charlemagne) and helped care for my sister’s bearded dragon for 8 years. I’m familiar with heat and UVB lighting, temperature checks, feeding fresh greens and insects, soaking, and keeping habitats clean. Happy to follow your care instructions exactly.

About: Preferred Name: Del I adore animals, and as far as I can tell the feeling is mutual. Roommates, partners, and friends are always impressed by how quickly their pets take to me and jokingly complain that I'm "stealing" them away. I've cared for pets in my family since I was 12. I'm an enthusiastic walker and I'm adamant about keeping cats and dogs stimulated with playtime. Currently between jobs so my schedule is very flexible. As such, I'm free to devote all I can to taking care of your lovely critters. I make visits and house stays as appropriate. Meticulous about following pet care instructions to a T as you know your pet better than I ever could. Will make sure that your pet is stimulated, fed, loved, and cared for so that your absence goes hopefully as unnoticed as possible.
