About: I have a two year old pitty-mix and am experienced in puppy training and care! I’ve had dogs my whole life but also had a leopard gecko for over a decade and lived with a cat in the past! I’m open to all and would love to hang with your furry (or scaly) little one. I’m a recent grad looking for full time employment and I have all the time in the world until the fall to care for your pet! I likely won’t be able to keep your pet in my home as I have a full family with a dog of my own but I’m open to it on a case-by-case basis. I have a fenced in yard. However I’m happy to accommodate your pets needs in your home however is best!

“Jeffery is great!!! My dog is a happy boy join my return. The house was neat and everything looked great. I will most definitely use him again.”


About: I am an animal lover of all kinds and especially dogs! I have been taking care of my own dogs, neighbors dogs and friends dogs and cats since I was a young child. Some kids had a lemonade stand, I was a pet sitter! I never pass up a chance to throw a ball or say hi give some love to any passing pup! I bathe and groom my own dog always and am happy to take care of your four legged family member in anyway I can! We work most days from 10-7 with an hour for lunch so I would be able walk, feed in play in the morning and night and come check in at lunch. We are flexible to the needs of your pet. For walks we are fine to walk any size dog and will make sure to have treats on hand for any training exercises you are working or any other specifics needed.

“Meegan is awesome with my dogs! I'm very happy with her petsitting.”


About: I’ve been caring for my own dogs as well as pets of family and friends since a young age, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I treat every pet as if they were my own—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My dog is friendly, well-socialized, and enjoys playing with other pets. With your permission, I’m also happy to provide high-quality photos during each visit, so you can see your pet happy and content. I currently work full-time in a hybrid position, which means I’m home about 3 out of 5 weekdays. I’m also available most weekends and enjoy spending time outdoors. During the warmer months, I often take my dog to the dog park for play and exercise. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship, whether we're relaxing at home or enjoying time outside. I do my best to ensure each pet feels safe, happy, and part of the family during their stay. I have an open, unfenced yard, so for safety, all pets will be leashed while outside. We also have a spacious deck where your pet can relax and enjoy the summer breeze. Inside the home, your pet will be free to roam and play under supervision. My own dog is friendly and happy to provide companionship if your pet enjoys socializing. I have a medium-sized crate available if needed, and plenty of toys to keep your pet engaged. Fresh water will always be available, and your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities.

“Chrissie was fantastic with my two dogs! She stayed with them at our house and I could tell they were comfortable with her right away. She was easy to communicate with and sent plenty of pics! Highly recommend!”


“Jessie did a great job of house sitting our two dogs and cat in our house for two nights. She was very responsive to messages while we were gone and sent pics. Our pets all seemed happy and healthy when we returned. We would definitely hire her again.”


About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and have two English mastiffs myself who mean the absolute world to me. I also live on a property that includes 3 horses, 2 cats and a flock of chickens so animal care is something I am well versed in and do with a passion. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s high-energy pups that need lots of playtime or older dogs who just want a gentle stroll and some snuggles, I’m here to provide attentive, loving care that fits your dog’s unique personality and needs. I’ve cared for pets both in my home and in theirs, including feeding, walking, administering medication, and handling special routines or behaviors. I understand that every dog is different, and I always aim to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I treat every dog as if they were my own — with kindness, patience, and lots of affection. Whether you're going on vacation or just need a sitter for the day, you can count on me for dependable and loving care. I have an open schedule currently so there should be no issues with adhering to your pet care needs. Feel free to contact me with dates, times and locations and I am willing to come to you. I have a fenced in yard for my two Mastiffs. I am very familiar with kenneling dogs as well. My overall goal is to provide a safe environment filled with enrichment and care for your furry animal family members.

“Kira did a great job, she arrived on time as scheduled, the dogs loved her. She left the house cleaner then she found it. We will definitely use Kira again in the future.”


About: I owned and operated the largest dog daycare/boarding/grooming/retail business in NYC for over 15 years! We’d avg 50 dogs a day and LOVED every minute of it!! Dogs are my passion, along with music, and I continue to dedicate the majority of my time and career hanging out with them on a daily basis. I have a very large fenced in yard to run and play with my pup Rosie, who loves and gets on famously with all her old and new friends.

“Rosary has been a life saver. My husband is sick and she has been very flexible and helping with whatever is needed. Today she spent the entire day with our toy poodle Georgy while we made our bi-monthly pilgrimage to my husbands doctor. He is 1.5 hours away so it’s a long day. Georgy was completely happy and tired when we got home. She is 8 months so tiring her out takes a lot of play time. I would highly recommend Rosemary.”


“Melissa is fantastic!! She took such great care of our two big dogs. The dogs loved her too :) she was very attentive to the needs of the dogs and handled their medication perfectly. She stayed at our place over the holidays and took great care of our home too. If I ever had any questions or was missing the dogs, she made she to respond quickly and would provide more cute pictures of the pups. We would highly recommend her to anyone and we will definitely be rebooking with her again soon!”

About: We have always had multiple dogs in our home, ranging from puppy to senior. We have also adopted a rescue, and so because of that we learned what comes with animals who have had a not so happy past. I work part time as a nurse and so I’m often home with my two littles. I have a fenced in front and back yard. We want your pups to feel comfortable! They are allowed in all areas of our home. If your dog has accidents we understand, but if there are repeated accidents on carpeting there will be a cleaning fee of $150.00 *Meet and Greet Policy* If I travel to you for a meet & greet and you want to book I ask for one night as a deposit (non-refundable). This will go toward your balance or if for any reason you need to cancel, it will go toward a future stay. I am very accommodating and am happy to offer pick up and drop off as well. If for some reason (vacations/getaways) we are unavailable it will be marked on the calendar. I do my best to confirm my calendar and availability daily. Our front and back yard is fenced in and we are set back from the road. There is plenty of room to run and play. As for feeding; All dogs and/or cats will be fed separately. This includes treats.

Samantha & Michael M.
“Samantha and Michael were wonderful caretakers for our dog! They watched our two year old mini Australian Shepherd over the long Christmas weekend, and we could not be happier with how well they took care of him. Auggie was well taken care of: they fed him per our instructions, and make sure that he got lots of outdoor playtime. They sent pictures throughout the days and even bought him a few cute gifts. We will definitely use Samantha and Michael again.”
