“The dogs and house were all in perfect shape when we got home! Clear communication but luckily for us, not over the top where we were answering texts all weekend. Thanks again 😀”

“Hunter went above and beyond in challenging circumstances when she house sat for us and the power went out for several days due to the recent storm. It was so comforting to know the animals were in good hands!”
“If there were a way to rate more than 5 stars I would be doing that. I couldn't be more pleased with Cheryle's services. She responded quickly to my texts, sent several pictures and updates each day of my fur babies. When I came home, the dog and cat dishes were washed , the house neat, clean and tidy. I hope the next time I go out of town, Cheryle will be available to house and pet set.”

“Great sitter for our two spoiled dogs! We were on an international trip and Zoe was very flexible and able to do overnights which eased our minds with a 14 week old puppy. Will use again!”

“Jade was amazing and followed our instructions carefully! We received the most adorable pictures of our fur baby while we were away, giving us peace of mind. We will definitely be booking with Jade in the future!”

“Machalah did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs (one who is a senior) & cat while we were out of town. She regularly sent picture updates; my fur babies obviously received lots of TLC. Machalah also left the house very neat. Will definitely use Machalah’s services again.”

“Matthew and Erin provided excellent communication and care for my dogs. The dogs enjoyed lots of frisbee time, courtesy of Matthew, so I know they had a great time! Thank you!!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs for years, and I don’t see it as just a job. Dogs have emotions, routines, and their own personalities, and I take that seriously. I pay attention to how they’re feeling and what they need, whether that’s playtime, reassurance, or just calm company. I treat every dog with patience and respect, the same way I would want someone to care for my own. I believe pets deserve to feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I work remotely, which allows me to be flexible and present throughout the day. This makes it easy for me to maintain your pet’s normal routine, including walks, feedings, and check ins. I structure my work schedule around the pet’s needs to make sure they’re properly cared for and not left alone longer than expected. Outside of work and occasional gym time, I have a flexible routine that allows me to focus on consistent, attentive care. I care for pets in their home by sticking closely to the routine and instructions the owner provides. I understand that consistency is important for animals, so I do my best to keep their schedule normal and stress free. I respect the home, keep things clean and secure, and make sure communication stays clear while you’re away.
“Had a little difficulty with figuring out the schedule at first, but that was sorted out quickly. My dog had a health issue and Steve was very helpful in managing this and very patient with our pup.”
About: I’ve been a pet lover since my earliest childhood, I’ve had cats and dogs and taken care of many other pets for family and friends throughout my life. I truly love animals and would be honored and excited to help you care for yours! I am off work for the summer and therefore have my entire schedule open; I am available to help assist you in whatever way you need! I stress safety precautions with my own pets and will strive to do the same with your furry family members! I always take my dogs out on leashes no matter the occasion and am very aware of the surrounding environment. My home is spacious and comfortable if your dogs enjoy animal company and I will gladly stY with your animals at yours in whatever way you would like.
“Lejuana always does a wonderful job with our kitty. She gives a lot of attention to our kitty even though kitty is very feisty! Will always contact Lejuana first in hopes that she is available when we go out of town!”

“Amelia was fantastic! She took such great care of our two fur babies and even sent me photos during our trip. It was a real comfort knowing she was there loving them. When we got home she didn't leave a trace and even changed the sheets on the bed for us. Highly recommend her services. Thank you so much!!”

About: I will love your pets like my own. Leaving our pets behind while we travel is stressful enough, leave them with someone who's going to love them like you would if you were there. I believe sticking to the routines and schedules you have established for them is important for helping the time move quicker for them while you're away. I have no issues following detailed instructions and making sure their time away from you is filled with love and routine. I work Monday - Friday 7am-3pm and I am off on the weekends. I am available after those hours and on the weekend I work around my schedule I try to always do in the client homes because it is less disruptive to the animal and it keeps them on the same routine.
About: I've grew up with dogs since I was born. Taken care of rescues, pure bred, small, and big dogs. I have volunteered at multiple shelters at home in NY since I was 10! I have a flexible schedule and a car, so I’m great for last-minute bookings and longer visits. I also send lots of updates/photos so you always know your pet is happy. I am home for college in the summer and normally always free! As a college athlete I am used to a busy schedule so fitting in same day visits or having a weekly routine is nothing new to me! I am responsible and trustworthy and always putting the clients/ pets needs first! I am a rule follower and will do my best to take care of your pet like it's my own.
About: I’ve been around all types of animals ever since I was born- ranging from small dogs, large dogs, cats, reptiles, and avians! I enjoy taking care of fur-babies of different species. Working in veterinary medicine for 5 years and on-going has taught me a lot about taking more in-depth care of our fur-babies. From medicating with pills to injections or even handling them on case to case basis. I currently work full-time as a veterinary assistant from 7-5 and I am willing to work with schedules if need be! I’m available almost every weekend and have Thursday as a day off. My schedule is flexible and very open! I’m comfortable with leash walking, fenced in back-yards, and crating. Feeding on a schedule and making sure that they will get the potty breaks and exercise they need!
