About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as friends and family dogs for years now. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, as well as all personalities. I am familiar with low energy and high energy breeds, and know how to cater to each of them. I also specialize in dogs that have anxiety as well as reactivity, and know how to monitor their behavior and understand them in a way that most humans and other animals do not. I currently work full time, Monday-Friday so all animals would need to be able to be home alone for around 8-9 hours during the weekdays. My current hours are 6:30am-3pm, so I make a point to be available in the morning before I leave for work, and then after I return from work. This also applies to drop-ins. I make a point to be fully available on weekends since I am away often during the weekdays, but am also home early enough during the week that I can spend the afternoon, evening, and night with your furry little ones. I will care for your pets by following the owners’ and pets’ needs, I never stray from instructions. I will ensure safety precautions are always taken, as your animals safety is my highest priority.

“Madeline took great care of my babies. She communicated every day, and asked questions when she was unsure of behaviors, which I appreciated. My pups were happy and calm when I came home telling me they were well taken care of and loved. I will definitely have Madeljne stay with my pups again.”

“David, was so great. He sent me regular updates on the girls and stayed with them throughout the day and night as I requested. He is by far the best petsitter on this site. Can't thank you enough David.”

“Julia was super responsive and was really patient with my dog. My dog was really struggling at the beginning when she stopped over but she continued to update me and ensured he was feeling comfortable! She was also so flexible with what I needed. She was great! Would recommend!”

“Theresa was amazing with our boy, Remy. We booked with her last minute before leaving on a week long trip. She was extremely accommodating and understanding to our specific needs. Long story short, Remy is a 4 mo old puppy who still needs A LOT of training. Theresa was incredibly patient with our boy, and even spent time training him when we were away. I felt like Remy was safe when he was with her, and she sent pictures and updates every single day. I know that Remy did not make things easy for her, but she stuck it out and took wonderful care of our baby. I would highly recommend her services!”

“Kathryn was amazing!! She is so warm and friendly and kept us updated with photos and updates. The cats and our dog loved her and the house looked amazing when we got home. Highly recommended!!!”

About: I have taken care of friend’s pets when they were not present or in the room. When taking out their animals, I’ve prioritized their safety and how they are feeling above all else especially when outside. I am working part time at Lake Compounce, however I am always open to spend my spare time taking care of your animals to make sure they are fed and cared for. I can easily put your animal at rest by giving pats or providing a safe environment for then to relax. I could also play with toys if your animals wants to. I will also be attentive to when a bathroom break is needed and when food should be given to provide a safe environment.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since 2014 when the family I was a nanny for surprised me with a 12 week old puppy to raise! I taught little Puddin' basic obedience, leash walking, and housebreaking. Fast forward eleven years and I've raised my own dog, Luna, and cared for several other adult dogs in-between. I have 13 years of professional childcare experience so I am a patient, understanding, and experienced caregiver. I am also experienced giving oral medication and ear/eye drops. I know how important your dog is to your family and I will care for them like they're my own! I have a very open schedule to care for your doggo! My only restrictions are working around an appointment or two each day. I have a reliable, dog-friendly vehicle and am ready to meet your family! The first thing I do is a visual check for safety and then see to your dog's needs. Then we can play in the yard, go for a "sniff walk", or do some enrichment puzzles/lick mats. I am also happy to do other house-sitting tasks like getting the mail, watering the plants, feeding the fish, etc. Lastly, I will always send a picture and update to your family!

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and for over 10 years, I’ve had the joy of caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. At home, I currently care for two large dogs and a couple of cats—though at one point, we had up to five rescue animals under one roof! One of our dogs came to us with both medical and behavioral challenges, so I’m very comfortable providing specialized care, including giving medications (oral and injectable) and working with pets who have specific training needs or require a bit more patience and understanding. As a full-time artist, I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means I can provide your pet with the attention, routine, and care they deserve—whether that’s playtime, walks, medication, or simply keeping them company while you're away. I am prepared to follow whatever directions you require for your pet in home. You and your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry family member!

About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs. I’ve cared for my own pets as well as family members’ and neighbors’ dogs, including handling different temperaments. I’m currently off for the summer, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need. In the fall, I may still have limited availability on certain days depending on my schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll treat your home with care, keeping everything clean, tidy, and organized. I won’t bring anyone over — just me and your pet, focused on keeping them happy and stress-free.

“I hired Jasmine to be mini-me while I was away. She took care of all my clients dogs just as I would, and that says a lot! She contacted me any time there was a question, and made every dog so comfortable in my home. I am so glad Jasmine and I connected and I truly hope that she agrees to book again. She was a true find.”

“Gina was very kind and watched our 2 mini aussies and house sat while we were on vacation. She left the house clean and exactly how we left it. Was a very respectful house guest. We will definitely book her again.”

About: I have had pets; mainly dogs my whole life. It’s so important to give them attention, play with them and to walk them on a consistent basis for them to be happy. I have done this for numerous people over the past 5 years I currently am looking to care for dogs and to walk dogs to supplement my income. I am very ambitious and love being outdoors walking my own dogs; it’s vital for them to get that exercise daily! I have two high energy dogs that are very friendly and playful; they would love to share their happiness and walks with other dogs! I have administered medications and often gives bathes after walks- especially after they roll in something on the walk or run thru mud.

“SO incredibly relieved to have found Ciara, who took perfect care of our fur babies. We all immediately felt very comfortable around her and cannot wait to use her again!”

I am a college student that is home for the summer with completely open availability throughout the week. Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 9 pm. (can be changed depending on the time you need) You can trust me to take care of your pets as if they were my own. I’m respectful and responsible, always mindful of your space and privacy. I understand how important it is to feel secure when someone’s in your home, and I take that responsibility seriously ensuring that your pets are safe, happy and loved while keeping your home just as you left it.

“This was our first time with Robin. We were very happy with her services. She provided pictures with each visit. Winnie and Piper loved her.”

About: I have loved animals my entire lifetime. My journey started with horseback riding at the age of 5. I grew up working with horses and doing plenty of barn chores. Fast forward some years and I slowly changed over from horses to dogs!! I always had a family dog, but, once I got my first Siberian Husky 5 years ago- that changed everything! We got our Husky at 8 weeks and unfortunately he was very sick. But, with lots of TLC, he is now a healthy and happy boy! When I got him, I decided to reach out to a local trainer in my town who helped me with obedience training through Ghost’s first year. It taught me so much about the breed and just how spectacular & smart they are. With a breed like a husky, training can be the difference between an unruly dog who destroys your house or a well behaved dog. I’ve learned so much from the breed and dogs in general. I actually prefer my dogs (and animals in general) over most humans lol just kidding…kind of :) I’ve since gotten a second husky pup who is now 2. She followed the same training regimen as my first and is the sweetest, sassiest little girl. I have a lot of experience with puppy training and am a natural animal soother. Animals, especially dogs, tend to gravitate towards me. I think they can sense how much I appreciate them and love them. I continue to learn everything I can about training, different breeds, etc. and recently took a class on the science of dog training. I have some experience with training adult dogs, but, have had much more experience with puppies. My dogs know many commands- I’ll list a few of the basics: heal, walking heal, sit, down, stay, the word “no”, etc. They even press a button to tell me when they want a treat! I have a lot of fun teaching them. Even though they are trained, I continue to test them periodically at home and out of the house to maintain their skills. I have a fenced in yard at home but we still love to go for walks around our road, go for “Sniffari’s”, hikes, dog play dates, etc. I also work closely with my sister, who has her basic training knowledge with adult dogs- so together we are able to take on dogs from puppy age to adult age. I also groom- although I am not licensed to do so, I started grooming family pets years ago. I currently groom 2 golden doodles and 1 schnauzer/poodle mix. I have ever expanding knowledge and patience for days because I truly love my furry friends. My life revolves around my fur babies and I enjoy spending time with all dogs- and maybe even your dog one day if you are reading this til the end :) feel free to inquire more or if you have any questions about anything at all! I currently am taking a summer break from my part time work, so my schedule is flexible. I generally make a lot of time for my dogs and doing dog activities, so, I can easily add another dog into the mix or make time for your dog separate from my own dogs. If Rover goes well, I would love to continue working with dogs as more of a full time role instead of only here and there. Because dogs are such a huge part of my life already, I would love to have Rover work be my main occupation. They say you never work a day in your life if you love what you do, and I truly love working with animals and always have. At home I have a fenced in yard with cameras covering all angles of the outdoor areas. I also have indoor cameras for when I am away (for my own dogs). I have toys for playing inside and outside the house and even though I have a fence I would still watch closely to make sure everything is ok- especially in the beginning when things are new or a dog is coming over for the first time. If your animal is going to be mingling with my own, I would make sure that they are introduced to each other before letting them play together. Because I have two, I would introduce them one by one to your animal to be sure they are comfortable. If for some reason one or both don’t mix, then they can be easily separated. Obviously this will vary depending on if my own dogs are involved or not. My dogs don’t have an aggressive bone in their body, but, huskies sometimes tend to be a bit aloof and socially inept lol so they tend to rub some dogs the wrong way but not in an aggressive manner. They are just a couple of goobers 🙂 but so, so friendly and absolutely love playing with their established doggy friends and meeting new ones! I have never once seen either of my dogs snap, bite, etc to any other dog, EVER. I would still supervise efficiently to ensure all animals safety, no matter what. If I am at your residence- I will listen closely to what you need for your dog and follow those instructions. If there are not exact instructions, I will do my best to ensure the safety and happiness of your dog. Upon meeting new animals I like to get down on their level and let them give me all the sniffs they need to get to know me and maybe even a treat, too! If I feel like the dog is unsure or skiddish, I might spend a little more time giving them attention before going for a walk, etc. because I feel it’s important to establish a relationship prior to going forward.
