“Riley did a great job communicating and taking care of my babies. She went above and beyond with them! My puppy gave her a run for her money hiding under the couch but she did great being patient and getting her out and into her crate. Very good with them!”
“Jessica is always accommodating , my work schedule is ever changing and she is a huge help in taking care of our girls. She truly loves dogs and knows how to care for them.”
About: Loved and cared for our family dog growing up, and have assisted with other forms of pet care throughout my time in Minnesota (overnight care, walking, playing, etc.) As a Minnesota transplant and a doctoral student at Springfield College, I will have availability to stay with your dog while you are away on vacation or out of town. I’m looking forward to meeting you and discovering the beauty this part of the country has to offer! I treat any animal like I treat people I interact with - with respect, love and care for their well being. I ensure they are tended to from a holistic standpoint, so their physical well being is as much of a priority as their nutrition and time for play.
“Sam was fantastic with my 5-year-old Schnoodle, Toby. Toby can be reactive and anxious around new people and other dogs. Let's just say he doesn't always leave a great first impression. Sam listened attentively when I described his "little quirks," and she was patient with him knowing that the sweet boy that he is would show himself when he felt more comfortable. Toby was well cared for during my extended day at the office. He enjoyed long walks, playtime, and cuddles with Sam, who sent me photos of their shenanigans throughout the day. I can't thank Sam enough for the care she provided, and I plan to use her services again in the future! If Toby could talk, he would rate Sam a 10/10!!”
“Rachael was great with Cali. She communicated incredibly well with me prior to, during, and after her visit with my puppy. I would absolutely use her services again and highly recommend her”
About: I have taken care of 3 dogs, 2 cats and 10 chickens over the past 30 years and provide service in Naples FL and in Boston MA I am available Thursdays, fridays, and Saturdays in Naples FL, but very flexible depending on your needs. Do not hesitate to call me, I can give your pup the time and love he deserves. I would prefer to come to your home, only because my home is not fenced in, but could keep the dog on a leash at all times outside
About: I grew up with two amazing dogs—one is now 17 and the other is a playful 4-year-old—so I’ve cared for pups at every stage of life. From energetic walks to gentle senior care, I understand what dogs need to feel happy, safe, and loved. Whether it’s belly rubs, fetch, or sticking to their routine, I’m here to make sure your dog feels right at home. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I'm available Monday through Friday. I am happy to spend quality time with your pet, whether that means walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I make sure any cat or dog that I am caring for is getting fed their daily amount, they have gone on walks or used the bathroom (cleaning the litter daily if it’s cats), they get plenty of water, and make sure they get plenty of stimulation through play time.
About: I am 22 years old and have taken care of dogs my whole life. I have experience with puppies- geriatric dogs including giving medication when needed. I am a recent college graduate with open availability. As the job hunt is extremely difficult, I am very flexible to fit you and your animals needs! I currently have 2 small dogs with a fenced in yard and a constant need for cuddles. I feed them twice a day, once for breakfast and once for dinner and they receive allergy vitamins daily.
About: I've had a dog of my own since I was on my own at 17 (so 13 years of that) and grew up with family dogs as well. My friends with pups always bring their dogs over when they come too and our dogs love playing together as I have a fenced in yard. My brother happens to be a dog trainer and has showed me pointers over the years so I've also been around the multitude of dogs hes trained with different pup personalities. :) I'm currently working from home due to the covid change since March 2020 so I'll be home for the better part of any day to keep a watchful eye on them. I have a fenced in yard and a playful pup of my own but as mentioned, my brother is a dog trainer so I have so knowledge of being around different types of breeds and my dog wants to be friends with everyone so she's no harm to even an ant :) I am currently working remote so I am home for most the day every day. If I have to step out for anything, dogs that are used to being crated will be crated and if they are not, I make sure every dog in the house is in a separate area while I'm not around to supervise. I have a fenced in yard for the pups and am always around to supervise them. If I have other dogs at the same time, I make sure to do individual meets before they are in a group. Everyone is always fed in separate areas.
“We couldn't be happier with Hannah's service! She was incredibly personable, and our dog Milo instantly fell in love with her. He can't wait for her to come back! Hannah went above and beyond in caring for our senior Belgian Shepherd/Lab mix, who has a range of special needs. Her attention to detail and genuine compassion made us feel so at ease, knowing Milo was in such capable hands. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a top-notch pet sitter. She's simply amazing!”
“We had Kim come by for drop in visits. She went above and beyond for our dogs and made the whole experience completely stress free. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
