“I’m not kidding, I’m tempted to gatekeep but won’t because Alyssa deserves all the love and dog jobs in the world. Seriously, best dog sitter ever. Thoughtful, sent daily summaries and photos, my reactive dog was so HAPPY!!! I feel truly lucky to have found her. 10/10. She is the best. Will rebook again and again and again as long as she wants to keep watching pups.”

“Emma provided frequent updates with photos while we were gone, letting us know our pup was happy and well taken care of!

“Jennifer took great care of our puppy while we were away for the weekend. When we came back, he was happy yet calm, which makes me feel like she was a great comfort to him while we were away. She sent updates every day (just the right amount of communication- neither too much nor too little). Our home was exactly as we had left it- so Jennifer did an excellent job of keeping him from destroying our house ☺️”

About: I bring attentive, knowledgeable care tailored to your specific creature and their specific personality. I've been pet parent to dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes to my current Sheepadoodle — there's no dog size or personality that's too much or too little, IMHO. And my experience extends well beyond dogs — cats, snakes, farm animals 🐐, and more. I also happen to share my home with a ball python named Fettuccine Alfredo 🐍, who is a distinguished, low-drama fellow. As a plant parent, I will watch after yours indoor jungles, outdoor gardens, that one fiddle leaf fig you're nervous about. If you need someone who will actually look at your monstera and not just splash water in its general direction, that's me. (My avocado tree, grown from a pit, is thriving. I'm not taking questions.) Housesitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, basic training — I've got you. And if you're going away and need the whole ecosystem looked after, pets, plants, and all, I'd love to meet you. Pet care fits naturally into the rhythm of my week. My mornings are consistently free, which works well for walks and drop-in visits, and I have flexibility on Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends for longer stays or housesitting. On days when I'm teaching in the afternoons and evenings, I'm still available in the mornings — and I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I'm never stretched too thin across clients. This isn't something I'm squeezing in around a packed schedule — it's something I've made genuine room for. When I'm in your home for drop-in visits or housesitting, I treat it with the same care and attention I'd give my own. That means following your routines exactly as you've set them, keeping things tidy, and making sure your pets are comfortable and unstressed in their own environment. I take detailed notes at meet-and-greets so nothing gets missed while you're away. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and attentive to their individual energy and needs — a reactive dog gets a very different walk than a social butterfly, and I know the difference. I bring over thirty years of animal experience to reading body language and behavior, so I'm not caught off guard by much. My own home includes a ball python and two cats, so I'm well practiced in managing a multi-species household safely and calmly. I don't offer boarding, which means your dog's visit to my home would only ever be for a meet-and-greet in a low-key, relaxed setting. In any situation that feels off — health, behavior, anything — I err on the side of contacting you immediately and getting to a vet if needed. You'll never be left guessing.

“Andrea is incredibly attentive and always puts me at ease while I'm away! She sends adorable pictures of my kitty, sends updates every day and I can tell when I get home that she's been treated like a queen. So grateful to have someone I can trust looking after my home and my girl!”

Gabbie S.

“Brooke was great with our reactive pup! She took the extra time to visit the house and make sure Koda was comfortable with her before she dog sat. I was amazed how quickly Koda got comfortable with Brooke (pretty much instantaneous, which is rare!). Thanks so much!”

Ellie K.

“Jasmine did a great job with our schnauzer. She took him for walks and kept us in the loop with texts and pics without going overboard. I think Murphy was sad when we got home!”

About: Love dogs all kind. First I pet seat my friend’s dogs when they were away. Then I got my own dog. Alaska is a 34 lbs pomsky. She is very playful and would like a company. I can take your dog to a dog park or the dog beach. Both of those amenities are next to my house. Moreover I have small fenced yard for playing with bunch of balls.I work from home , so have a lot free time to pet sit fur babies and take them for plenty of walks. If you are away for a short trip, book your pet a bed and breakfast inn in my house. I will take care of your furry friend either at my house or yours. Currently work from home. Very flexible. However prefer drop offs and pick ups in mornings. If pick up after 3 pm addition charge may apply I have fenced yard where. I can let dogs out for quick pee and play if needed. However I take them on walks at least 2 times a day. If good weather, I may take them to the dog park or rye beach

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for multiple dogs at once, including both younger and older dogs. I’ve successfully cared for up to 8 dogs at the same time, managing different energy levels, routines, and personalities while making sure each dog gets the attention and care they need. I’m currently working part-time, which allows me to be available for pet care during key times of the day. I’m available on weekdays from 6am–9am for morning walks and check-ins, and again from 7pm–10pm for evening care. focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any specific needs. I make sure dogs are supervised, secure on walks, and never put in unsafe situations. I also have experience walking dogs while volunteering at a humane society, where I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. In a client’s home, I respect the space and keep everything clean and consistent so pets feel relaxed and at home. I also provide updates so owners feel confident their pet is in good hands.

About: With a lifelong passion for animals and a deep understanding of their unique needs, I bring both experience and empathy to every pet I care for. Over the years, I’ve provided hands-on care for a wide range of domestic and exotic animals—including cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, freshwater and reef aquarium fish, and reptiles like tokay geckos, leopard geckos, skinks, veiled chameleons, and ball pythons. This diverse background has given me a strong foundation in animal behavior, enrichment, and health. I currently share life with a joyful four-year-old golden retriever named Zelda and a nine-year-old rescue cat named Little Girl "LG". I’ve completed multiple training programs—including the GoodPup Dog Training Certification. I specialize in positive reinforcement techniques tailored to each dog’s personality, and I’m particularly skilled at working with dogs who pull on leash or resist walking. My calm, reward-based approach helps build trust and better habits. I’m confident and comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’ve cared for pets with medical or behavioral needs—including administering medications and supporting post-rescue or recovery routines. Living near wooded areas has also given me firsthand experience rescuing and assisting wildlife and stray animals, including birds, deer, and cats. My flexible work-from-home schedule—as a freelance tech support and UX/QA tester—allows me to offer dependable, attentive pet care. While I’m currently unable to host animals in my home, I may be available for in-home pet sitting depending on your location. I always prioritize exercise, enrichment, and emotional well-being, ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in English and a Master’s in Public Health from the University of Maryland, College Park. These studies have shaped my thoughtful communication style and my commitment to wellness—for both pets and their people. Lately, pet care has become my full-time focus. I’ve built a steady group of regular clients and walks, and I’m always looking to welcome more—especially for early morning walks, which fit perfectly into my daily routine. While I still do some freelance tech work (like computer repair, UX, and QA testing), those are more side gigs at this point. My priority is providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care for pets. My flexible schedule allows me to tailor each day around the animals I care for, giving me the ability to offer everything from quick potty breaks to longer walks, medication administration, or enrichment sessions. Because I’m already out and about each day with my regulars, it’s easy for me to fit in additional visits or accommodate last-minute requests. I love what I do, and I’m always excited to meet new pets and form lasting connections with them and their owners. While I’m not currently able to care for pets in my own home, I do offer attentive, in-home care in the comfort of your pet’s familiar environment. I tailor each visit to the pet’s routine and personality—whether that means calm companionship, active playtime, structured walks, or a combination of all three. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, get potty breaks or litter box cleanings, and receive any required medications. I also provide enrichment through mental stimulation and positive interaction, especially for pets that may need a little extra reassurance while their owners are away. I respect each client’s home and preferences, and I’m happy to follow specific instructions to make sure your pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible. Whether it’s a one-time visit or regular ongoing care, I’m committed to keeping your pet happy, healthy, and safe.

About: With over 14 years of full-time experience caring for animals, pet care is more than just my profession it is a lifelong passion. While the majority of my experience has been with dogs, I have also gained extensive experience caring for cats and birds in their homes. I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant with hands on veterinary experience and a strong understanding of animal health and wellness. I am comfortable administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, monitoring pets during recovery, and providing post-surgical care when needed. I am also very familiar with the veterinary clinics in the area and have experience transporting pets to appointments, assisting with checkups, and helping owners follow veterinary recommendations. What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I provide. I build close, trusting relationships with the pets I care for and take the time to learn their individual personalities, routines, dietary needs, and preferences. I have a strong interest in animal nutrition and understand the importance of maintaining consistency in a pet’s daily routine to support their overall well being. In addition to pet sitting and dog walking, I have several years of grooming experience. My building includes a dedicated pet grooming facility, allowing me to conveniently offer grooming services while pets are in my care. I am a dependable, knowledgeable, and compassionate caregiver with many long-term client relationships national and international. References from local families are available upon request, and I take great pride in the trust that both pets and their owners place in me. I would be happy to assist with all of your pet care needs, including pet sitting, dog walking, medication administration, recovery care, transportation to veterinary appointments, grooming, and personalized daily care.
