“Lena took very good care of our two cats. She was very thorough and updated us on each of her visits, including pictures. We have a very timid cat and Lena was able to gain his trust in a short amount of time. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. We look forward to working with her again in the future!”

About: I've been around pets and have helped take care of them ever since I was a child. Growing up we always had at least 1 dog and 1 cat but mostly we had 2 of each until they passed of old age. More recently my partner and I have a 5 year old doberman that we have raised since he was a puppy. Pet care is very important to me and I will not take a job unless I know I can give the pet the care it deserves I work flexibly full time so I will have the chance to check up on your pets semi often if needed. Early morning check ins, afternoon walks, and nightly walks/check-ins are all easily done with my schedule. For first time clients I always want to meet the pets and owners first to make sure there is no issues and everyone gets along. From there we can discuss how to best care for your pet and I can learn what they need.

About: I've taken care of neighbors cats and dogs since middle school in my hometown. I've grown up with pets my whole life and greatly understand their needs and the responsibilities associated with pet care. I’m a clear and responsive communicator and will always listen to how you want your pet cared for. I also enjoy going for runs and hikes, so if your dog has a lot of energy, we will get along well! I’m excited to meet your pet(s)! I am able to do overnights with pets and can visit them during mornings, midday, and nights. I can take last minute bookings. I work a flexible schedule during the week. I make sure to assess the comfortability of the animal before settling into the house. I try to keep it a quiet atmosphere until the animal feels comfortable being around me. I make sure that they are my priority and I give them full attention given that they're most likely stressed. I will respect the owners house and belongings.

About: When I lived in Syracuse where my family resides I spent years taking care of my brothers Energetic Beagle named Daisy! I care and love to take care of animals as if they were my own! ☺️ I currently have a full time job Monday - Friday 8:30 am - 5pm. I am free after 5 pm during the week and all day on weekends. I rent out my building I reside in so I unfortunately can’t have pets at my place, but will travel to someone else’s. Each owner usually has different preferences usually on what they’d like for their pet so I will take any instruction that is given. I will make sure your pets are well fed, have plenty of water and exercise.

I currently work a 9-5 job so am open to morning and afternoon walks. I am also generally flexible on weekends if planned in advance. My girlfriend has a 130 pound Bernese Mountain Dog which can be a handful. I have learned how to navigate new spaces deescalate situations with him. My strategy is mitigating the possibility for anything to go wrong and being prepared if it does.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10 years old. I was lucky enough to be very active in 4H as child. It gave me meaningful hands-on experiences caring for animals of all types. In more recent years I have cared for family and community member’s dogs (feeding, walking, overnights) with lots of love and care. I work part time; which gives me the availability to care for your pet from morning-11 am then 4:30 pm -evening on weekdays. Friday evening-Sunday I am free and available to help however best suits you and your pets needs. My yard is not fenced, but: I live on a farm that is far off the road. There’s dense forest but lots of trails to explore and I have a friendly pup named Bear. She is the sweetest and loves new friends!

About: I’ve had dogs most of my life—dogs who are small, timid, and nervous as well as big, goofy and playful. We can make sure it’s a good fit with a meet and greet to make sure everyone’s comfortable before moving forward. I work 3 days a week as a nurse and usually know my work schedule a month in advance. I am hoping to do a couple of dog walks, check ins and house sitting days so that you can take a trip, work or be *kid free 🐶* for a night or two. Let me know how I can help! The more I can learn from you about your pets’ likes and dislikes; the better I can provide for you and your pet. I am confident that I can make your pet feel comfortable and right at home.

“Calla was so amazing with my cats! I have a very shy cat who normally takes a while to warm up to people, but she let Calla pet her the first day and by the second day she was snuggling in her lap. Such a relief! The litter boxes and food bowls were clean and while my cats missed me, they seemed happier and calmer since they were not alone. Highly recommend Calla to take care of your fur babies!”

About: I understand that the worst part of your day is leaving your dog. Saying goodbye when you go to work or go out of town doesn’t have to be so tough once you get to know me. I absolutely love dog’s and gaurentee that I will provide your pup with whatever he/she needs to be happy and feel at home. If it’s just a walk I still make sure your dog is satisfied and happy anyway that I can. I have tons of experience and love my job. I also enjoy going on hiking adventures so let’s get creative and make a plan that exactly fits your dogs needs! I understand that some dogs require more than others. I can’t wait to meet your dog! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I’m a local fishing guide in the area. I will always make your pet my #1 priority. I have a large fenced in yard that the dogs can enjoy anytime they’d like. I do allow dogs on the furniture as they please unless advised otherwise. I try to have a good sense of how your pet is feeling throughout the day and do my best to make them happy as can be.

“Karen was absolutely wonderful with my two cats. She stayed in my house with them for over a week during Christmas and New Years, was a great communicator, kept me updated with photos, and I felt very reassured leaving my pets with someone so responsible. Upon my return everything was tidy, the cats were well fed with extra food and water laid out, and litter boxes cleaned. It was a great experience and so wonderful having her take care of them while I was away so I could relax and enjoy my vacation worry free.”

About: Aside from having a family dog for 15 years, I have house/pet-sitting experience working for family members and close friends since 2007. I have never met a pet I didn’t adore. I’m self-employed, which means very flexible hours. Weekends are not out of the question with notice. I always try to find ways to make scheduling work. I will make sure that your loving companions are safe, fed, walked (if applicable), loved and attended to for the entire duration of my visit.

About: I’m a fur mama of one 85lb , 3 year old mush who is hyper, energetic , and very needy. I love taking him on walks, to the beach, and anywhere he can go to get his energy out. My fiancé and I are planning our dream wedding and I would love to offer pet care in your house ( or mine if your dog or dog friendly) . I would love to give someone the opportunity to go on vacation without the Warriors of their pet being lonely or not getting the attention they deserve. I’m well experienced in dogs of all breeds and sizes and emotional/ physical needs. I am a teacher Monday- Friday but have weekends and summers off. I can be there before and after school, as well. Weekends I am free. I want to offer your pet lots of love, care and engagement while you are traveling. I try to keep them on their normally scheduled routine and work with the pet parent to make sure they are comfortable or have any special requests.

Alli is always so great and helpful with both my girls! My one cat recently was diagnosed with diabetes and she had no problem stepping up being able to administer insulin when I have to run out of town. I can’t express how thankful I am knowing my girls are safe and taken care of!
