“Jordan took great care of Mona while I was away for several days. Mona can be sensitive to changes in routine, and Jordan was calm, patient, and very attentive in helping her feel comfortable. She was communicative, reliable, and made sure Mona’s routine stayed consistent, which gave me peace of mind while traveling. I appreciated how thoughtful she was in making sure Mona was well cared for and comfortable. Over the course of the visits, Mona became more relaxed and even playful, which really speaks to Jordan’s approach and attentiveness. Jordan is responsible, kind, and clearly cares about the animals she works with. I would absolutely recommend her and would gladly book with her again.”

“Walter was so courteous and showed up on time every day and I could tell me animals were taken care of. He even offered more support for the animals for an extended period when my travel was impacted by the snow. He came 2x a day for my dogs and played with them and even stayed extra time s few times, and was able to give them medications and feed them, along with my cats as well. He was also very communicative, and followed instructions. I can tell my animals are happy. I will be using Walter again!”

“Can’t say enough good things about Kim! She is amazing with our puppy and our puppy is considerably more well behaved on days when Kim stops by for drop in visits. Kim is an amazing communicator and amazing with dogs. Our puppy loves seeing her and I know she is well taken care of by Kim. Kim also takes great care of our apartment too - we always come back to a tidy apartment after her visits.”

“Jaclyn has been my go-to sitter for my cat for the last year. She’s incredibly reliable and I always know my cat is in great hands when she pops in to visit her. She takes great care of her, plays, cuddles, feeds her, and freshens up her water and litter box. She always provides me a great recap of her visit too! Pepper and I love Jaclyn!”

“Julia was amazing!! We left for 10 days for our honeymoon. She took great care of my two cats exactly as I had asked. She even took out the trash and swept the litter on the floor. I truly felt like my cats were in great hands which made me enjoy my trip more. She is very responsive and understanding of your needs. I highly recommend Julia!”

About: I loved dogs all my life Ive had several dogs and cats before and I think you just have to know how their minds work so you can raise, train and live with them Im currently looking for a job so Im mainly free these days so my schedule is very flexible and i have a lot of free time I don't have any dogs at the moment that's why i want to work with animals and help in walking or training them for people
“Samantha was reliable sitter and took good care of my cats while I was away. Very easy to communicate with and took on additional house without issue. I will be asking her for her services again.”

About: I started dog sitting in 2018 in Huntington but moved to Port Jeff last year so looking to connect with local families! I have worked with many senior dogs and a variety of breeds. I have my own chiweenie who I love to spoil. I'm a teacher so I can drop in before and after school and then before bed! Weekends and school breaks I can potentially house sit. I can come to give meals and/or medication, I also can provide a walk and lots of belly rubs! I will send pictures and provide updates!
“Kelly is amazing! She was very quick to respond and was able to help us out when our usual sitter cancelled last minute. She took great care of our puppy and provided lots of updates!”

“Samantha was awesome Every visit was on time and she always stayed the whole time and went the extra mile My dogs loved her Received plenty of pictures and videos Definitely recommend highly”

About: If you require a morning walker or need someone to run a few miles with your energetic dog, I am your person. I have experience with various types and sizes of pets. I am also very meticulous about their needs and yours. Please let me know their preferences and behaviors so I can best meet their needs. As a student my schedule varies but it I am typically available for morning and afternoon services such as walks and check-ins. I could also accommodate afternoons services depending on the week and request. My weekends are typically free unless specified otherwise. Available to do dog sitting on weekends (Friday, Saturday) but message me directly for my weekday availability. If you are requesting drop-in services at your house, please let me know what your pet requires. I can offer play time, refill water and food, medication administration, brushing, and complete certain household tasks. Occasionally, if I do overday dogsitting, your dog will have a fenced-in backyard to run around in.
“Sharon was great!! She came for a meet and greet with very short notice a few days before our planned visit and was very flexible with timing. On the day of her drop in, she let me know when she arrived at the house and sent me a picture of Audrey right away. Very very happy!!”

About: Hi, I’m Sydney and I have experience walking dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. During college, I spent my free time at my local animal shelter, where I worked with dogs from different backgrounds (shy, energetic, anxious, outgoing, and senior dogs). I am very responsible and I will make sure your dog is happy and safe! I am very active, so whether your dog loves long walks, playing with toys, cuddles, or all the above, I will provide what they need. I look forward to meeting your furry family member! I am fully available on weekends and happy to help with evening walks/visits on weekdays after 5pm. I respond quickly and do my best to accommodate scheduling needs! I prefer to meet pets before hand so you and you both feel comfortable with me. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take time to understand their routine, personality, and any specific needs so they feel happy and cared for. I provide clear communication, regular updates/photos of your pet while they are in my care.
About: I was fortunate to grow up in a household with so many wonderful pets- dogs, cats, bunnies, goats, horses. I love all animals but have a special place in my heart for any kind of dog, big, small, puppy or seniors. Having taken care of so many animals over the course of my life I understand the responsibility of caring for all types of dogs to make sure they are safe and happy as they deserve and treat all of the one's I am lucky enough to know as if they were my own. When I am not taking care of my pack I help out my neighbors and friends with their pets and volunteer at an equine rescue farm where I do everything from feeding, bathing, walking horses and cleaning out stalls. Not much makes me happier than a happy animal! I care for many different animals and arrange their care around the best schedule for them. Feeding, walking, playing, petting and grooming them as needed morning through night. Their safety and happiness is a priority to me and I am fortunate enough to have a lot of energy and love to provide them. My dogs sleep with me at night. I feed them in the morning and a dinner time. I play with my dogs throughout the day. My entirely property is fenced in allowing my pets outdoor access 24/7. I live on a relatively quiet street that many dog owners enjoy walking on so my pets get to see passersby often. I also live in close proximity to numerous nature preserves and the beach and walk my dogs everyday to make sue they get outside socialization and a chance to explore nature safely in all weather.

Kim is such an amazing sitter. We are so lucky to have found her and we literally could not ask for a better person to visit our puppy. She tired her out physically and mentally during her visits and our puppy is truly better behaved on days when Kim stops by. Kim is so patient with our puppy and on top of that she is so respectful of our home too. She has been such a pleasure to work with and I really can’t say enough good things about her 🥰❤️
