“Alexandra is accommodating and reliable. I love how aware she was of my newish 4YO shelter dog needs: potty break, interactive toys and ending with snuggles on the couch. With her updates and pictures I know my pup enjoyed her visit. Highly recommend 😊”
“Ceinwein did a great job and was available with short notice. Very reliable and experienced with dealing with an elderly dog and giving medication. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Kaylyn was very communicative leading up to her visit with our dog and she provided a detailed summary of their visit. We were glad we could count on her to help us with our senior pup! She sent photos and made sure we knew he was well taken care of. We’d recommend Kaylyn to others!”
“Ashley has been great! She is very reliable, dependable and timely. She is taking good care of our pup and has him on schedule that works for everybody. Great communication as well as sending pictures of his activities for the day. Thank you so much for being there when we need you, Ashley! it puts us at ease knowing that he is in good hands.”
“Katherine took great care of our two cats. She provided thorough updates and pictures with every visit. Even though my boys are shy and mostly hiding, Katherine took the time to talk out loud and be present so they could feel more comfortable. I had peace of mind and could enjoy my time away knowing my cats were being well cared for by Katherine. Thank you!!”
“Jax is fantastic! She did a week of twice daily home visits for my cat, Gilligan. Each visit, Jax sent me a detailed update on what my cat was up to, as well as photos. It was clear that she spent time to get to know Gilligan, played and cuddled with him, in addition to feeding and cleaning up. I highly recommend Jax, and will be calling on her again in the future!”
About: Life long animal lover I've taken care of many different kinds of pets! I had a frog growing up, fish, cats, dogs, and I've helped pet sit numerous times for a friend for his goat, chickens, turtle, geese, turkeys, ducks, and dogs (puppies, adult dogs and a senior dog with medications who needed extra tlc). I also work here and there at a local horse farm feeding and cleaning stalls as well as turning 45+ horses out to pasture. I'm used to handling strong pulling animals (I like to think being able to handle an antsy 1200+ lb animal prepares me for most anything haha), and my own strong pulling dog so I'm well versed to handling eager dogs on walks. I've been able to administer medications to senior dogs, my own dog needed 5 different medicines for a few weeks during heartworm treatment and my cat currently is transitioning to a prescription urinary diet so I know a few tricks to getting medicine to them as well as doling out special meals. I'm currently switching to working 2 part time jobs 7 days a week to only working 1 of those jobs maybe 2-3 days a week so I'm looking to fill my time with taking care of your furry best friends and probably working more at the horse farm too. My schedule for work is made at least a month in advance and I don't work weekends since I work for a dental office so I have some free time to do this now. Looking to walk your dog, drop in on your cats/dogs while you're away and maybe open to short overnight stays in your home if I can arrange for my own doggie to be taken care of because he gets really lonely and upset if I'm not home at night, otherwise I'd have it on my profile that I was available for that too. I will follow your every instruction and request for taking care of your pet in your home, I can crate you dog and handle letting them out, making sure they don't get off leash or out of your fenced in yard and make sure your cat doesn't slip out the doorway when I come in. I have some sneaky pets myself sometimes and I feel I've become a master at outsmarting even the sneakiest pet. I'll make sure your pets have plenty of fresh water, the right amount of food, nothing is left out for them to get into or chew up, and cleaned litterboxes! I believe in treating your pet like my own and providing the utmost care and respect for both them and your home.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for a total of 5 years. I volunteered at an animal shelter to take care of cats, and worked for a few months taking care of dogs. I have also dog sat for friends when they went away and didn't have any issues. I have 2 dogs, one I got in January 2022 (chapo) and the other (pablo) in March 2022. Mr. Chapo was a rescue from the spca and we have had Mr. Pablo since he was 3 months old. Chapo is an American staffordshire and is 7.5 years old and pablo is 3.5 years old. I want everyone to be aware that I work full time and can be available in the mornings Sunday-Wednesday’s. I am free all day every other Wednesday. I am available all day Thursday-Saturday. I am more than happy to dog sit overnight/in the morning before i go to work. I will work with you so we can make sure your little one (or big one) is cared for! I am available on most weekends. Holidays may differ depending on my schedule. I let Chapo out when I get home and let him roam around outside because he just sleeps most of the day. When I am not home he is inside. Pablo is in his crate when I am at work. He likes going outside but not a huge fan. I will care for your pet however you would like since its your fur baby!
About: Aside from my 3 personal pets, I have raised 4 Seeing Eye dogs and pet sat for over a dozen families. I have experience in dog first aid, potty training, and reactive dogs. Socialization is important and I have the knowledge on how to do so safely for each individual dog. All breeds of dogs are welcome. I work from home and am available 24/7. I love being able to take the dogs on either long walks or a quick potty break. I have a fenced in yard and a crate available for any size dog. I am aware of dog safe foods and carry Benadryl and hydrogen peroxide for emergencies.

“Sherry is awesome! I would highly recommend her services. She’s great with my dogs. One of which is high energy and the other is shy and timid and she’s taken her time and to make friends with both of them. She is also very kind, flexible and a great communicator. 5/5”
About: I grew up around dogs and currently have 2 pitbull, boxer mixes. I have always been good with dogs. I love to go outside and will take as long of a walk as they want. I know a little bit of training, and can be consistent with it. I will always spend time giving them cuddles and listen to their cues if they want to go outside, or be feed. I would like to work with other dogs outside of the ones I have or my family has. I work full time in Fort Washington, but i have the ability to work from home if the animals need someone around all the time. I don't normally have to much to do on the weekends or nights after work. I will definitely cuddle and spend time with your animals after work for as long as they need I don't normally have dogs or cats come to my house, but I am willing to stay at my clients house if it makes the client and/or animals lives easier. I make sure before I leave that the house is back to what it was before hand. I don't touch or use anything I am not allowed. I stay mainly in the room I can sleep in, living room and kitchen. I would never disrespect a client
About: I have a lot of experience with puppies growing up and have been relied on by family and friends to care for their animals without any worries I am currently in nursing school and work part time, but I am available some weekends and flexible during the week, I go to class 6-10pm Tu,W,Th I have a 2yr old golden retriever to keep others entertained and she is so so loving and sweet. Lots of room for her to run around and private area away from the road.
About: I've grown up with dogs/cats my entire life and was always the family member who insisted on being their primary caregiver! I've had two tuxedo cats when I was younger, a rescued 5 year old beagle, and recently got a brown spotted dalmatian so I'm very up to date on pet knowledge! I'm currently working part time so I will have lots of time to care for your pup, whether it's taking them for a long walk, playing with them, and whatever may be needed! By caring for your pet in your home, I will be sure to respect any wishes stated and make sure your pup gets the best care they need!
About: I’ve had dogs around my house for my whole life, & have volunteered at dog shelters for 4 years now. On free weekdays and weekends, I walk, train, and (occasionally) foster dogs at the shelter, so I am confident in my dog-loving abilities!! I’m currently on summer break, so I am very available! I am able to walk, play, and care for your dog(s) at any time during the week/weekends. I have a large backyard and live next to many trails. I also have 1 fur-baby at home (male, mix) to keep your dog company, and I have a large crate (if needed/preferred)!

Noah D.
“Hello, my name is Charlie and I am Noah’s wife. As someone who sees my husband with our two dogs, Pablo and Chapo, every day, I can confidently say he’s a natural. Our dogs absolutely adore him, and he’s been around dogs his whole life. He can work with any dog, big breeds to little ones, puppies to seniors. He’s incredibly patient, attentive, and genuinely loves spending time with animals. What I admire most is how responsible he is when it comes to their care. He is always making sure they get the right amount of food, exercise, stimulation, and affection. Whether he’s going on walks, giving them a bath, or just giving belly rubs, he’s always fully present and loving. Any dog in his care is in safe, capable hands. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like family, I couldn’t recommend him more!”
Alexa C.

Tessa is very gentle yet firm; she understands a tired dog is a good dog, and that there are no bad dogs - just bad owners. Tess is very very responsible , a fantastic communicator, and anyone - dog or human - would be lucky to know her !”
