About: Hi! My name is Katy. I have had pets my entire life. I currently have two dogs and a barn cat. I work from home, so I can be available throughout the week. I love spending all day with my pets and I’d love to be able to care for yours too! I work from home so I can be available almost at any time, any day of the week. I can make last minute bookings work! I can accommodate walking your dog, simply letting them out to potty, exercise and outdoor or indoor play. I can follow any schedule or instructions you set forth.

About: As a passionate animal advocate, I've had the privilege of serving as the Foster Care Coordinator at the Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society for 1 year, while also volunteering with shelters throughout my adult life. Additionally, I'm a Certified Veterinarian Assistant, and my life's journey has been enriched by sharing it with diverse animals, from beloved domestic pets like dogs and cats, to hospice and senior animals. I'm committed to providing your cherished pets with the same love, care, and compassion that I've devoted to my own. I am thrilled to be available Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. If you have a special request for different hours, I invite you to share your needs and I will eagerly discuss and arrange a solution that works for you. I will nurture your fur babies with the same love and devotion I would shower upon my own precious little ones. With my extensive shelter experience, I have been blessed to work with dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, temperaments and life stages. I have had the joy of caring for rambunctious puppies and the privilege of providing comfort to senior dogs and cats.

About: I have always had a companion animal ever since I was a child. I currently have four rescues who are like children to me. I promise to treat your companion animals as if they were my own – with TLC, attention, and love. I work part-time, so my availability will vary. I no longer do overnight stays but I'm happy to visit more than once a day as my schedule allows. I am only available to take care of your pets in your home. I am very happy to take them for a walk, when needed.

About: I have experience with all kinds of animals from birds of prey to horses to dogs, I watch animal's body language to know how they feel about a situation, and how best I can make their visit enjoyable. I'm currently working part-time on a Zoo Team that handles all kinds of animals. So I will have plenty of time on my days off to walk your pets and visit them whenever you like! Safety is the top priority for your pet, if reactivity or nervousness is a factor then I will do everything to avoid situations that could cause it. I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable with me so they can have a great time!

About: I genuinely love animals. I am the type of person who stops everyone and asks if I can pet their dog. I do have professional training in taking care of animals; I worked at an animal rescue and a doggy daycare! I am 22 years old and I have my own transportation and will work very hard to take care of your pet! I have experience walking dogs of all ages and sizes. I also have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages. Including animals with special food requirements, feeding instructions and giving medications such as pills. I have some training in dogs with temperament issues. I also have experience in taking care of cats, fish and reptiles if needed. I am currently a masters student so my schedule is all over the place, just ask me if I’m free and I’ll let you know! I have my schedule in advance normally. I have experience in crating dogs if that’s what’s required for your pet. My own dogs now are free roamers around the house so I have experience with excited or guarded animals when entering the home. I like being given clear directions so I know how to best care for your fur babies!

I have been around animals my whole life. I am CPR certified, able to administer medication, and have experience working with all types of different breeds/sizes of dogs.

I will be working starting in September but I am free in August! Not too sure about this fall, but I will let you know :) I have three cats and would prefer to go and walk/check up on your pet in your home, instead of mine. It probably would not make either of our pets happy! 😆

About: I have had pets all my life! We have had cats and dogs growing up. As an adult, we have even had chickens! I love playing with all sorts of fur babies! Not to mention extra snuggles! I have been house-sitting and watching friends' dogs while they go on vacation and have loved every second of it! The job I have right now allows me a lot of free time and I work on my own schedule. So this would give me the availability I would need to help you and your busy schedule!! Your pets would be taken care of in your home. I feel this is the most comfortable and stress-free way for your pets. Whatever their routine is, they will have the same as if you were home with them!

About: Hello! My name is Zach, I have two dogs and two cats of my own and have grown up with no less than four pets at any given time. Often when I meet people's furry companions I'm told they warm up to me faster than normal and even some times for the first time, so I'm open to try to care for almost any pet! Responsiveness, honesty, and genuine care should be expected from a pet sitter - let me know if I can help! My partner and I work from home so we're available and flexible throughout the week for all pet care services. Just let us know when and we can try to make it work! I have a big but unfenced yard, two sweet begal-hound mix brothers (one is energetic, the other lazy) and two sweet and playful cat sisters. It's a cozy and fun home environment. All the animals get plenty of attention (we love to play) and the dogs are let out consistently throughout the day. I can crate if needed, follow any special instructions, and we have a spare room if space is needed. Your pet will be treated as our own, just let us know!

About: Creator and owner of dauchshund to the Rescue.I've always had a passion for animals since I was a little girl.I'm currently going to school for veterinary medicine. My life revolves around taking care of animals while running the rescue so I am always home to take care of all of their needs. Each dog and cat is different, so it's on a case-by-case basis, I always like to observe their behavior and take care of them based on what they seem comfortable with.

About: I’ve had dogs on and off my entire life. For the last 12 years our family has rescued/adopted 11 dogs. I have kept family and friends' dogs while they vacation as well as done drop ins at their home for walks, feeding and cuddling. I have also taken care of goats and chickens. I will treat your pets how I would want someone to treat mine. I am comfortable around all size and breeds of dogs and cats as well as goats and chickens. I am self employed and have a very flexible schedule. I am available almost any time, including nights and weekends. Most schedules can be accommodated. I have 5 acres which about 1/2 acre is fenced in with 6-foot fencing. I can snuggle your dog on the couch or crate them if they feel more comfortable like that. I have my own personal dogs but keep them separate from other people's pets. If you leave directions of what your pets routine in your home is like I can provide for them in that manner.

About: I have veterinarians in the family that are closeby, and I was raised to love all animals like they are my own. There is no greater joy than a happy animal. I will take your dog on runs with me, take them to parks and beaches, run errands with him/her, but I will also cozy up with him/her for a night in. I will play with your cat and give them endless love. Overall, I just want to help in any way to assure that no pets are left home alone and frightened, and also that all pets are loved just as much as they love all of their owners! I take walks before, during and after work to take breaks from screens. I would love to also exercise a dog at the same time! I have two cats at home who are extremely well behaved. They play with eachother throughout the day and also love other animals. I enjoy frequently playing with my cats or dogs that I’m pet sitting and going outside as much as possible.

About: I have worked with animals the past several years in different environments consisting of shelters, clinics, dog walking, and even doggy daycares! I’ve had experience with dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, turtles, and pigs! I also have experience medicating pets for those that require it. I have such a passion for animals and can’t wait to meet your fur babies! 🐾🥰 I am currently working part time remotely from home making my schedule flexible to accommodate your fur babies! I am available weekdays and most weekends. I can drop in while your at work and take your pup on an adventure walk around the neighborhood or toss the ball in the back yard and give them some loveins! ❤️ If pet sitting I can stop in multiple times a day as requested and feed, water, play, and even medicate if needed. I am very detail oriented and follow all pet care instructions. I will always send some cute pics and a detailed report after each visit to keep you informed. I know our animals are our babies and I will always treat yours as I do my own!❤️🐾

“I think this is the third time Kelly has walked Molly, and every time it’s on last minute requests! She’s great and molly is always a happy pup when I get home.”
