About: I’ve done pet sitting for years, taking care of a senior diabetic dog and cat, as well as puppies, kittens, rats, and reptiles! I have experience giving medication, especially insulin injections, to both cats and dogs. I love all animals, and between working as a veterinary assistant and attending college to become a veterinarian, I am dedicated to your pets and taking care of them! I’m currently going to college, but I’m available either before, after, or between classes depending on the day, as well as weekends and over breaks I will treat your pets just as I treat my own, with love, patience, and care! I’ll play, walk, feed, and give love and attention to every pet.

About: I have walked dogs of all different sizes, ages & breeds. I have also administered medications ( oral & topical ), changed bandages. I've loved animals my entire life & my client's pups/pets become "my" pets..in other words, I love them like they were my own. * I prefer to do "Meet & Greets" with potential clients and their pets prior to taking the "job", so not only do I and the pets get to meet, but the pet parent(s) & I can also meet & discuss any schedules, routines, etc. as well as go over any questions. I want to not only be comfortable with them, but I want the pet parent(s) & of course, the pets, to be comfortable with me as well. P.S. I’ve worked in many horse barns in my 20’s, so don’t hesitate to reach out for help ( even if it’s a one time thing :) I’m pretty available due to being on Social Security ( due to a major car accident in 2009), so I do this to not only supplement my income but because I love animals & it also helps me in multiple ways ( mentally, physically, etc.) I treat your home like my home in the sense that I become protective of the space ( & pets of course), I don’t like random people showing up/trying to enter the home without my hearing Directly from the homeowner. After I’m familiar w/ the way things typically are ( ex. what vehicle(s) are routinely there/not there then a “random” vehicle is suddenly there, I will be suspicious & notify the pet parent/home owner right away to make sure it’s ok to be there).

About: I love dogs. I have a rescue her name is Snickers and shes 7 months old. I've had dogs all my life. How anyone can hurt man's best friend is beyond me. She is like my child and makes me smile, keeps me company and I dont know what I would do without her. I love her with all my heart and wouldnt trade her for the world. I would treat anyone's dog like I would my own. They are all special in their own way. I would be honored to take care of your dog, I look forward to meeting you very soon. Thank you, Robin K I work full time at home and I'm able to walk my dog and take her out anytime! I'm available all day. My Snickers would love a play mate. I dont have crate but if yours needs one you'll have to bring it. I'm very diligent in taking my pup out all day long.

“Megan is fantastic! Great communication - timely & easy. Personable & flexible. My pets seemed to really enjoy her & I know she took care of them.”


“I'm glad Miss Olivia felt comfortable enough to come out. She usually stays out of sight.”


About: Retired so I have the ability to be there around the clock for your pet. I also have a daughter-in-law that lives next-door who is a veterinarian technician working in a busy pet emergency room who I can go to for advice. I am retired was a business owner so I’m used to a very busy schedule, not used to sitting around twiddling my thumbs so I look forward to spending some time with pets I currently have two homes one in Florida and one in Massachusetts. My home in Massachusetts has a fenced in yard and is on a country rural area with no major highways around. I’ve never lost a pet.

About: I worked in an exotic vet hospital for 7 years which is also a wildlife rehab facility. Prior to that I have raised and cared for animals of all species of my own my whole life. Whether fury, feather, scales, or more I love just about every living being & critter. I will care for your pets like they were my own. *Making a note that poisonous/venomous or illegal animals are not acceptable or allowed. I have experience with reptiles like geckos, bearded dragons like my own, iguanas, turtles, birds of all shapes, color, and sizes, some farm animals, ferrets, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, and things of the like. Animals that are venomous or harmful are excluded.* I care for and hang out with my fur babies, but there's plenty of room and time for more friendly faces. I work hard so my pets can have a good life. 😂 I frequently walk my dogs and can take yours around the neighborhood as well, lots of dog toys, pats and belly rubs, and can crate your pup if needed. Im also willing to help with some trainings and house breaking if requested.

About: I have been dog sitting and housesitting for the past five years. I have a lot of experience in senior animals as well as animals with special needs. I am very reliable, respectful, and understanding when it comes to housesitting and pet sitting. I have a lot of experience and will always try to accommodate you and your animals the best that I possibly can! I am currently looking for colleges as a graduate of a dual enrollment program! I graduated in 2022 with a high school diploma along with an associate’s degree in undecided! I have a total open schedule when it comes to pet sitting! I will always make it my number one priority to make sure your animals feel safe and comfortable with me. Being away from owners can be stressful enough, that’s why I always make sure they are happy and comfortable while missing you! Any rules you ask of me to follow, will be followed! I am very understanding and very open to just about anything. :)

“This was my first time hiring someone to leave my pet and house while I was away for 10 days. Honestly, I was quite anxious till Georgine replied to me shortly after I sent a request. Her message was very polite and careful, positive vibe, showing professionalism and responsibility. I was convinced right away I could rely on her. She was right. Everything went well. Looking back now... I was so lucky that I went to Rover and chose Georgine. I highly recommend her.”

Tatiana V.
“I highly recommend Tatiana as a responsible and loving dog sitter. She has been amazing with our golden retriever, Gracie — from making sure she’s well-fed and exercised to giving her all the love and attention she needs. She’s patient, dependable, and always on top of walks, feedings, and playtime when we are away or on vacation. Gracie absolutely adores her, and it’s clear she has a natural connection with animals. Anyone who leaves their dog in her care can feel confident they’re in great hands!”

Nichole S.
“Writing this recommendation for Nichole as being a responsible and loving dog caregiver is an easy one. Nichole has always had a special connection with animals of all kinds, especially dogs. Within minutes of meeting your pet for the first time, even the most timid, she'll have them behaving like she's a new member of your family. Nichole has always been more of a pet person vs. a people person. No need for worry when leaving your pet in the good hands of Nichole!”
