“Jessica has taken amazing care of my pets when I go on vacation; I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, mice, and she really takes the time to find out each one’s needs and how to make them happy while I’m gone!”

About: look no further for your boarding needs! I started working with dogs steadily a few years ago when the covid pandemic struck our country, and at that time we were having our baby. I noticed a dog walking position on Indeed, and decided to give it a try, knowing I have always loved dogs and animals in general, and began working for a small startup that I have since left, and with new experience and knowledge I decided to give it a try on my own, and have loved every moment since. Our little family will care for your pup like no other. When your pet is in our home, they will be adored by my daughter a gentle and playful 4 yr old, and will have attention and care as if they were our very own family member! We have some wonderful clients and are looking to expand and perhaps create a pet brand worthy of being called a family. We hope to create lasting bonds with your pup so they feel at home even when you must leave them with us for a bit. We have a few clients but are looking to expand our boarding roster! We usually sit for our clients when they go on a trip for business or a vacation, and some of our clients have multiple dogs. Our days usually begin at 7-8am, with breaks at 1pm, 5pm, and end around 930-10 pm with a last walk of the night. Any preferences will be taken into account on a case-by-case basis so we can provide the ultimate comfortable stay for your pet. we understand that a pup can feel anxious and even sad when boarding, so we work to minimize that inevitable feeling of missing you! We have plenty of room, and your pup will have roaming privileges unless you say otherwise. They will hang with the family and most of the time our pup friends as we call them tend to laze about and get comfortable, or play. We also make regular park visits. Some clients prefer to provide crates in order to keep their pet feeling secure in a familiar place, please let us know of any preferences or concerns you have, but we have one available for regular sized dogs that may prefer it.


4. Camryn M.
“Camryn is a caring soul. When she’s passionate about something, she’ll devote herself entirely to the task at hand. Cam also loves dogs, and when she’s on campus, her thoughts always return to her dog Fern. Fern is in very good health, and is an incredibly affectionate critter, a personality no doubt nurtured by Cam’s attentive and loving embrace. She also regularly bathes and grooms Fern, but her care is not smothering, as she is more than content with Fern resting wherever she pleases. Fern is also a very sociable dog, and gets along well with strangers, whether they be bipedal or quadrupedal. If you were to combine Camryn’s passion for our canine companions with career opportunities, you’d have a dog-sitting force to be reckoned with.”




5. Jamie N.
About: I have a true love for dogs and all animals. I have dog sat for family and friends and enjoy every minute of it. When I finally live on my own the first thing I’m going to do is get a dog of my own! I love taking the dogs on walks, playing with them, and of course snuggling. I am available any day of the week and have a very flexible schedule. I have grown up with dogs my whole life, therefore I really know how to care for them. Having a dog makes life so much better and a lot more fun. Having the opportunity to care for dogs is like a dream come true! I hope I can be the sitter, walker, and caregiver you’re looking for! I work from home so I’m available pretty much all day everyday! Weekends are up in the air but I try to keep my calendar up to date as best as I can :) We can always discuss pricing if needed! I live in a house with a fenced in yard that is perfect for all doggos to run around and play! If your dog loves being outside my yard will definitely be their paradise haha

11. Neha D.
About: I have had a dog since I was 15 years old and am able to provide care for puppies & senior doggos if necessary to provide the care that they need. I am currently working full time from home between the hours of 9-5pm EST and I have a flexible schedule to play and give attention to your furry friends! I have a fenced in yard and your furry friend will have another dog (He is a 4 year old Havanese mix that is super friendly with humans & other dogs) & to play with as well.


12. Rachel D.

“My pup is still getting used to unfamiliar people walking him outside. Rachel’s shown a lot of patience as they get to know each other more and he’s warming up little by little. I’m so glad I found her to help out.”


13. Kat T.
“Kat has taken care of my dogs for the past 10 years. She first cared for my aging Labrador (in home care while we were away), and now with our new Australian Shepherd puppy she has done the same. Kat is reliable and dependable for specialized care if needed. She is also so affectionate and playful. It is not unusual to find her cuddling or playing on the floor with the puppy. Kat is aware of and follows the training and discipline we are working on. She is intuitive and attentive, keeping the dogs, herself, and others around her safe.”


14. Giselle C.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since childhood and absolutely love dogs! I have experience with walking, feeding, playtime, and bathing. My own dog is a senior Shih Tzu with allergies, dry eye, and chronic ear infections, and I’ve been her sole caregiver for weeks at a time. I’m experienced in administering medications and providing specialized care. You can trust me to give your furry friend the same attentive and reliable care. I am a PhD student with a flexible schedule, typically working from home one day a week and having weekends off. Since much of my work is independent, I have the flexibility to provide pet care before or after work and on weekends. I have a fenced-in yard and live on a quiet block, providing a safe and peaceful environment for your dog. I also have a crate suitable for small to medium-sized dogs and easy access to nearby parks.


15. Sienna M.
“Sienna is an exceptional dog sitter and walker. She loves animals and gives them all her love and attention. I feel comfortable knowing my baby is in her hands. I will recommend her anytime.”


16. Dali H.
“Dali took care of my dog Scrappy. He's a 2 yr old Shih Tzu who is full of energy and can be a handful. She kept me regularly updated re: his status and walks with photos and messages. I'm usually weary to leave my dog with someone else but Dali made Scrappy feel right at home and comfortable. She was very attentive to his needs and made sure he was well cared for. I would highly recommend Dali to watch your dog and know that you'll be in good hands.”

18. Ricardo P.
About: I've owned or watched dogs since i was young boy. My first Yorkie was11 yrs old when he passed away in 2018 and we have another Yorkie that is 4 yrs old now. I love dogs and animals of all kinds. I am currently retired and looking to do something I love. I am very flexible. I am mostly available during the morning and afternoon hours. I have a big fenced yard and lots of room to run. My property is 85x100. My dog loves to run in the yard. Artificial grass.


19. Emre C.
About: I love pets and ever since I was little I was obsessed with them. I have watched over bunnies, hamsters, birds, and cats. But my favorite one of them all is my dog. We have had our little guy for about 3 years. He is a super happy and funny companion who will keep your dogs company alongside me. I am a college student and am currently available full time to take care of your pets. If there are any behaviors of which I should know, let me know ahead of time. On top of that if you want to tell me your dogs favorite scratching point that would be much appreciated. ( if not I’ll sherlock it anyway) I am currently home full time and therefore watching your dog is my 1st priority. It also gives me joy and excercise over the summer. Our first floor is quite big and has enough room for the dogs to play. My Pomeranian will also keep your dog company. My Pomeranian likes to sleep in my room in his crate. Your dog can sleep wherever they want and however they like it if they are potty trained. If not I would appreciate if a crate is brought along with the dog.


20. Nadezhda E.
“I highly recommend Nadezhda as a pet sitter. She has provided excellent care for my wiener dog, Dollie, ensuring he is well-fed, exercised, and loved while I’m away. Nadezhda is responsible, attentive, and truly cares for animals. I trust her completely with my pet and know she will provide the same level of care for others. If you’re looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter, Nadezhda is an excellent choice! Best regards, Lev”
