“Michelle and Ken took great care of our cats (one with special needs) and our house. It brings such peace of mind to know we can enjoy our time away and not worry about anything at home. Highly recommend!”
“Heather is the best! She and my dog became fast friends. She’s so attentive and really communicative, which is such a big deal when you’re leaving your pet with someone! Would recommend her to anyone, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Kaeleen watched our dog Sadie and cat Mac for a week. She took great care of them. She provided updates and sent pictures. She was respectful to our home. I would recommend her for anyone looking for a great in-house sitter!”
About: I love dogs. I also have a dog of my own her name is molly and she is a 13 year old yellow lab. I can groom the dog and take care and feed and play and walk dogs. I also love to make sure they get what they need. I also use to take car of my neighbors dogs. I can also brush there teeth. I will make sure they have attention and I will text the owner if I notice something is off. I am around dogs everyday at my house and I make them happy. I will make sure the dogs get what they need and make sure they get there meds if they have any. I hope i get to take care of your dogs too❤️ I work 8am-11am everyday except Thursdays which is 4-8pm. I am starting hairstyling soon so I will update with that once I have my schedule. At home I have a stake in the ground connection to a long leash so I can play fetch with them without them running off. I love to teach them tricks as I went to take my dog to one.
About: I am mostly interested in hosting cats but if you have a well tempered pup I would be willing to discuss if we would be a good match. I have time before I go to work (from 6 am to 8 am) to check on animals and after I get out at 5:00 pm I am available Monday through Friday. Saturday's I am available after 1 pm and Sunday I have open availability. I love cats and want them to feel most comfortable. Give me a list of their likes and dislikes and I will be sure that we will have a splendid time!
“Rae is absolutely amazing! We love our dog dearly, but he can be a real handful—high energy, impulsive, and incredibly excitable, especially around new people. Before we even left, Rae had him calmly resting at her feet while she worked on her laptop. She somehow tuned into his personality right away, and even taught him a few new tricks! Her updates were thoughtful and detailed, and it was clear she truly understood him in a way that was both insightful and observant. Rae is a true dog whisperer! We’ve never felt as at ease leaving him with someone as we did with her. On a scale of 1 to 10, Rae is an 11. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: I have had my animals my whole life. Also I am a dog groomer and have worked at vet clinics in the past doing pet care and being a vet assistant. I am currently working at a dog daycare. I currently work at a dog daycare during the day Monday-Friday. I only work from 6:30am-12:30pm most days. This is just my part time job to get extra money I plan on going to pet parents houses and taking the best care of their animals as possible. Providing them enrichment, food and water when needed
“Serena is an outstanding cat sitter, and she even came to my house to meet Taj and Olivia before we went away. During our meet-and-greet, Serena played with the cats and let me share cat routines! When my husband and I returned from our overnight trip, everything was perfect; the cats were well cared for and so was the house. Taj, Olivia and I are thrilled that Serena is our new cat sitter, and we are booking her services again!”
“Claudia is a truly caring, energetic, thoughtful and responsible pet sitter. While staying with our dog and cat, she quickly learned their personalities and went the extra mile (or several extra in the case of the dog!) to respond to their needs, emotional as well as physical. She sent daily reports along with photos and video clips so we could see how the animals interacted with her - they were clearly happy. Claudia also took excellent care of the house and got to know the neighborhood which helped our pets maintain their routines. I have no hesitation in recommending Claudia as a trustworthy - and fun - pet and house sitter.”
About: I can’t recall a time in my life there wasn’t an animal around, all shapes and all sizes. I have been there assisting in home births, to training bird dogs. Years of hands on experience and knowledge to better handle and care for my animals and yours. Open to requests, fairly flexible schedule. Weekdays, Weekends, overnights or stop ins I’ve got you covered, can’t wait to build a relationship with you! =) From cleaning up messes to having them overnight, I am here to make your life easier and care free knowing your animals are safe with me.
“I booked Elise for 2 nights to take care of my two dogs. She graciously took time to meet me and the dogs prior to the dates. I went away feeling very comfortable and confident that my dogs were in good hands. Highly recommend Elise for anyone wanting a special person watching their precious pups.”
About: I've recently become petless and would like to remedy that situation by spending some time with your dog. Having grown up around dogs, I'm very well experienced in young, middle and older aged dog care having worked at my friend's doggie daycare for 2 years during Hurricane Sandy. I was also a dog walker in Manhattan and Brooklyn during Covid. I moved back to New England after 20+ years in NYC. I walk a lot and I'd enjoy a companion. Or if you just need me to stop by to say hello and give them a little attention, I'm your gal. I work from home so have the flexibility to ensure your pup is well taken care of at all points of the day and night. Your pup will be taken out at least 4x per day, morning, lunch, early evening and late evening with two of those outings being longer walks/plays. I'm communicative, responsive, flexible and easy to work with. Your loved one will feel relaxed and at home. I live in a dog friendly area with close access to multiple parks and walking areas. I will respect your care instructions with the occasional treat here and there.
“Tim was simply wonderful with my animals and home. He attended to every detail and my dogs adored him. I highly recommend Tim. He even cleaned the house for me. He is a very conscientious, good natured and devoted care taker. My animals were so happy and calm upon my return I knew I had found a great match for them in Tim.”
