“Megan & Nick were absolutely stellar dog sitters. They answered all my questions and accommodated a rushed request for both the booking and a meet and greet. They were extremely communicative throughout the whole process and put a new dog dad at ease. I would remiss to leave out the lovable Bubba, who was a most gracious host, sharing his toys and his space. He and Rigby were fast friends. The whole family was lovely, clearly dog lovers. Looking forward to booking with them again soon!”


About: I am a pet owner over 20 years, I am a responsible and caring dog sitter with years of experience ensuring dogs are treated with the utmost care and attention. As a pet lover family, we understands the importance of creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for your dog while you’re away. We love our daily routine of snuggling, playing with, feeding, & exercising our dogs and yours. Balancing work and with a supportive husband and three teenagers, I offers flexibility and reliability that fits into any schedule. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or providing companionship, you can trust us to keep your dog happy, healthy, safe and well-loved.. With a passion for animals and a deep understanding of their unique needs, we ensures that your pets receive the attention and care they deserve while you’re away. I also offer bathing and grooming services if that's something you are interested in.. Morning walk, breakfast, a little play time, rest.. If weather permits, we let the dog be outside the backyard to roam around or just lay down to have some sun. When afternoon comes, another bathroom break, kids comes home from school will play with the dog for a while, then comes the evening, bathroom break, then dinner. Although I don't have a fenced in yard, but I have the anchored leash in the yard. I trained my dog to stay within our promises.. I'll make sure the dogs I care for will be leashed to the outdoor leash.

I take the time to understand the owner's instructions and preferences, ensuring I follow them meticulously. Whether it's going for walks (for dogs) , feeding, administering medication, or just playing fetch, I approach each task with enthusiasm and dedication. I am home all day so your pet will have my undivided attention. they will have enough play time, walks-for dogs- and naps if poppies/kittens. Routine and Structure: I Establish a schedule for feeding, walking, playtime, and sleep. Pets thrive on routine, so having a consistent structure helps them feel secure. Feeding and Hydration: I follow the pet owner's instructions for feeding, including food type, portion size, and timing. Provide fresh water at all times. Exercise and Playtime: Ensure pets get enough exercise based on their breed, age, and energy level. Provide toys and interactive activities to keep them engaged. Safety and Security: I Keep pets safe by ensuring doors and gates are secure. Use appropriate leashes, harnesses, or crates if needed. Monitor their behavior to prevent accidents or escapes. Cleaning and Hygiene: Maintain a clean environment. Clean up after pets, regularly wash their bedding, and manage any odors. Health and Medical Care: Be aware of any medical conditions or medications the pet requires. Administer medication as directed by the owner and watch for any signs of illness or distress.

About: I've owned and taken care of all kind of family, friend and neighbors dogs for decades. Boarded, walked, fed them and became their best friend. I am currently working from home so I am available to walk, board or visit your pets any time and can assure you that they will feel very loved! My number one priority is that pets and clients feel safe with me. I am an honest, and trustworthy person. In your home, I will follow directions and respect boundaries to ensure every service provided is a great experience for you and your bundle of joy! Walks will be taken in the neighborhood and visits in-house will only be limited to rooms given permission to be in.

About: Growing up with a pets myself, I’ve always taken care of them. Whether it’s going out for long walks or running around the house, I have first hand experience with it. My schedule is very flexible as I can work from home and offer a very accommodating schedule to anyone that chooses to book their loving pet with me. I live in a townhouse with 3 floors, which means your dog or cat will have no problem running around the house freely as they want to. (It truly is a workout) I also live nearby a reservation with hiking trails and lots of outdoor space.

About: I've been caring for small pets such as, Hamsters, Guinea-pigs and Fish (from goldfish, etc. to Oscars,etc.) from a very young age. Therein, for example, when I was still a little girl, my friend and neighbor could no longer care for their beloved, hamster, Andy; who did they think of... me ! So, Andy, the hamster was adopted and added to the fold. Next, Cats and Dogs. When my neighbor found a stray cat had given birth in their shed closet, again, who did they call?! I adopted one of the 3 kittens; adopting their sibling from the same liter soon after the first adoptee, was unable to care for it. I began caring for Angel and Geisha, my first two cats. Last but not least, Dogs... Cream was a white Pittie, whose owner, again, became unable to care for her so she lived with me and my 2 year old daughter at the time, and they loved each other dearly. After, finding Cream a permanent home, I had the honor of caring for other dogs for friends and neighbors even the homeless, from which I cared for Lulu, a pittie, living with her owner on the street. However, she received a healthy diet, vet care and patience, training to reverse some of the habits she developed living on the street. Now, although, I've cared for others such as Bamboo, the Pitbull, that seemed to take care of himself, lol and Karma, who needed a foster during the Covid pandemic; I'm entrusted with the care of my Pittie/German-Sheppard Gran-pet baby, Nasir aka Nas, while my daughter's in college. Nice enough, I still get to switch it up and care for the Cats (and small pets) of various friends and neighbors in my community. With that, I try o create a Pet-care Staycation like atmosphere when boarding or Home care while pet-parents are away and a Family like atmosphere for Fosters. I look forward to meeting your furry friends and four legged family members :) Pet care is not only therapeutic, it fits into my schedule perfectly, since I am a semi-retired administrative professional who suffered an untimely stroke at a young age. However. after an almost miraculous recovery, I'd like to move forward in a direction that nurtures my empathetic personality. Therein, leaving the desk behind, affording me with a more active lifestyle, all year round. As to that, my days generally consist of assisting my daughter with her dog, exercise, personal errands and volunteering a few hours a week. Although, I take pet care jobs occasionally, I'd like to "officially"extend my services to do something I love (I believe I'm good at it.) and rewarding because the pets (my clients) always seem to appreciate it. I have a fenced in yard and super friendly and silly, one year old fur gran-baby that would be happy to show a visiting canine "the ropes", lol. I can also crate and/or crate train your dog(s), when necessary. They will always have access to clean water; be walked consistently and fed on time and kept in a clean an organized space, whether at your home or mine. I make sure to follow pet parents care instructions. I send photos or video of fun moments to give insight as to how your pets are doing and cared for. I play, pet and communicate with each pet in their way to build trust, friendship and joy while their pet parents are away. In addition, I have had some dog training in the recent past and will have more dog training in the near future to help me care for our hairy pals compassionately and efficiently. [NOTE to Drop-in Clients: Please understand, Safety is a concern for Everyone; pet care givers, pet parents and pets. I work on a basis of professional Trust between all parties, including the pet party. All I can offer are my Referrals, my Word as a trusted professional and a background check conducted by Rover. I expect the same appropriate professionalism, trustworthiness and mutual respect from those who accept my Services. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.] I look forward to working with you. ;-)

About: I grew up on a farm caring for animals and my first job was at a dog boarding facility . I would clean their crates and have hours to play with dogs of all sizes. I’m a stay at home mom, and I have a fully trained labradoodle (13lbs) named Goldie 8/5/19. I have two children one is a 7 yr girl that is in school until 3pm daily. My one year son is home with me daily and doesn’t bother Goldie . My backyard isn’t fully fenced in but dogs will go for potty breaks and fresh air outside on a leash.Animals have full range play area in the basement.

About: We recently lost our 13 yr old american bulldog / hound mix and while mom (Lisa) isn't ready to have a new FT family member just yet, my son and I would be so excited to have fun with and love your pet as our own while you are away. We have a fenced-in back yard, lots of toys and a comfy dog bed - though of course you are welcome to bring your own gear, if it makes your pet feel more comfortable and at home. Typically only board 1 family at a time. I am self-employed and work from home so am available to give your pet all the attention it deserves, take for walks and potty breaks as needed. We have a fenced yard and I have experience with senior dogs where extra care, love and medication may be needed, and am totally fine with larger dogs as well.

About: I have loved dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I now have a Pomeranian-Pug mix and an orange Tabby cat. They are so important to me and I love watching them grow and continue to learn. My husband and I try to keep them active and youthful. I am currently a stay-at-home mom so I have a lot of flexibility. I am available during the day to visit your pets in your home. I am also available for boarding in my home. Whether I am watching the animals at my home or yours, I will make sure to closely follow your instructions. You know your pets the best and I respect your pet, your family, and your home. I will treat them how I would want someone to treat my own animals.


“Elizabeth was so great with my 9mo old puppy! She sent me pictures throughout his first day and updates. I felt so comfortable knowing that he is good hands while I am at work; and knowing that he was having the time of his life at Day Care. I will definitely have my puppy coming back.”
