“Cindy was great with Zoey! She’s very communicative, sent updates and photos throughout their visit. I highly recommended using Cindy’s services, I know I’ll be a repeat customer the next time I head out of town!”
“Sarah was wonderful. Our two girls took to her from the first meeting. Our Mollie has a bit of anxiety but she instantly showed her affection. Thank you Sarah- You are on our list.”
“Brianna was a great choice for our pets. She has a calm presence which really helped my timid dog warm up to her in a short amount of time. She was always on time and gave detailed updates and pictures with every visit. My dogs loved her and that gives so much peace of mind while traveling. We will be booking with her again!”
“Amanda was great with the baby Zara she was on time and Zara doesn’t typically like new people but she was able to get her to come out and hang out! We are so happy and feel so comfortable having her come when we take our next vacation or trip! Thanks so much Amanda”
About: I have taken care of a lot of dogs over the years but now I'm looking for a new adventure with Rover. I promise the best for your dog I currently have a job but having another dog around the house or a dog to go and walk would not be an inconvenience at all We have a Yorkie at home and she pretty much does whatever she wants. Your dog would be treated exactly the same. She gets along with other dogs very well and knows how to handle herself around larger dogs
“Kayla was such a great cat sitter! I was gone for two weeks and she checked in on my Louie every other day (and even watered my plants!). My cat is shy when I’m not around and Kayla was so kind with my Louie and gave her treats and played with her (even though my cat was being very antisocial). She sent me pictures and updates with every drop-in visit. I definitely recommend Kayla as a cat sitter and I will definitely book her again if needed in the future. Thanks so much Kayla!”
“Suzanne took excellent care of my two cats. She was very prompt and dependable, which is especially important to me since both cats require medication, I’m very happy with her services and would highly recommend her.”
About: Family & friends have trusted me to walk, feed, and stay with their beloved pets for over a decade. Caring is a part of my nature & pet sitting/dog walking is a good way for me to decompress from the high intensity work I do at the hospital. My work schedule changes weekly & rotates between three to four days per week at the hospital- still leaving 3 or 4 days free for caring for your pet. Booking in advance allows me the opportunity to schedule my hospital shifts around your needs. I myself have a lab mix at home. I would be caring for your pet in their own trusted environment, your home, but would need the freedom to run back to care for my own fur baby during the day.
About: Trained my dog from 8 weeks old when we got her 6 years ago! Potty training experience, walking, feeding, bathing, and more. I’m always the first person to pet a dog I see and I’ve also found a few lost dogs and reunited them with their families! My weekly routine varies but I have plenty of free time each day! I am currently working a part time job so I am flexible. I am detail oriented and will pay close attention to your care instructions to make sure your pet is happy and that you have no worries about them!
About: Hi, I have over ten years of experience with dogs. I volunteered and assisted at my local shelter from 2014 - 2017. I helped in the rehabilitation of about sixty animals to their furever home. I’m here to help you be at ease when it comes to your pet/furbaby as they are also part of the family, I love long walks and runs, and playtime is a huge factor. I can also assist with teaching various tricks and commands with lots of patience. In my home, your dog will be safe, have a designated play area that is fenced off inside and a huge fenced yard while outside. If your pet is uncomfortable, I will do my best to make them feel right at home, they will have my undivided attention.
“Lisa did a phenomenal job visiting my two pups while I was at work. I came home to happy pups each day. Lisa sent photos and a summary each day and let me know when one of my dogs seemed sick, which I really appreciated. She was entirely professional and thorough in our communication and I will happily use her again in the future. I highly recommend Lisa for all dog owners looking for great care for their furry family members.”
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life and am well-versed in all the ins-and-outs of dog care. I am also a former college runner and very active person- so I can take your dog for long walks or runs! I am currently in LBI on vacation through August 13th. I currently work Monday - Thursday in person, and leave at 8am and am back by 5:30. If you are comfortable leaving your dog that long, I am happy to watch during that week. Otherwise, I do not work Friday-Sunday and will be around for constant attention and walks. My apartment is very pet safe and spacious. There is no access to human food, and all my trash cans are covered. Additionally, I live across the street from a park and a nice neighborhood, so I will be able to take your dog on lovely walks throughout the day.
About: Saying that I’m a pet person is an understatement! I currently work at a fresh dog food company but that’s still not enough ‘dog time’ for me! I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs by fostering puppies and dogs in my home, volunteering, and pet sitting. I was also an Animal Science major and have worked in vet offices caring for all types of animals (of course, mostly dogs and cats) so I have experience in administering medications. I absolutely fall in love with each animal care for - I have a dog and chinchilla myself, and know how important they are to us humans. That’s why I treat every pet I as if they’re my own and am excited to love your's as well! I'm currently working remotely and have a flexible schedule. I'm available for overnights pet sitting any night of the week or walks at any time of the day! Each client and pup is unique! My goal is to make sure your dog's routine stays as regular as possible when in my care so they remain happy and healthy :). I always recommend meeting with each client before an overnight so they can physically walk me through their dog's routine, feeding and walk schedule, etc. I always ensure I am 110% certain where they are/are not allowed in the house and yard, emergency contact info, vet info, preferred walking routes and times, whether they're dog/people friendly, etc. Oh, and your dog will receive plenty of hugs and snuggles too!
About: I have always lived with a dog in my house since age 1. My dogs have always been my best friends! My family has also trained 2 dogs who went on to become service dogs through the canine companions for independence organization. The largest dog I have ever worked with is labs and golden retrievers. I have experience: -dog sitting -walking -bathing -feeding -and slight training experience And basically all dog owner duties!! My schedule is very flexible. I am available weekdays and weekends. My schedule allows for me to be able to provide care very often times vary depending on what day of the week. I have cared for many dogs and will be sure to accommodate all of your pets needs as well as helping you as the owner with any of your pet needs.
“Louisa was very flexible with my schedule and so easy to communicate with. We did a meet and greet and the following day she watch my old boy Tucker for an hour. He has separation anxiety and I was worried he would do well, but Louisa sat right down with him and kept him company, and let him stroll around when he needed. She really paid attention to my needs and did everything I asked and more!!”
