“Teresa is a Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious pet sitter (translation - she is the Mary Poppins for pets)! She came to our AirB&B to watch our 15 month old puppy so we could go out for the evening. Not only did she take great care of our pup (including gifting him a toy he loves), she also helped with his training by coaching him down the stairs. Our pup and our backs thank you!”

“Matthew showed up on time and followed instructions for our dog. He updated me throughout the day and night. He did great watching her and we will definitely be rebooking in the future!”

“We had such a great experience! She was incredibly communicative throughout the stay, sent wonderful pictures and updates, and really took the time to make Phoenix feel comfortable. Phoenix can be an anxious boy and isn’t quick to warm up to new people, so seeing how happy and relaxed he was meant so much to us. By the end, he absolutely loved her and was even playing with her! It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust her with Phoenix again. Highly recommend!”

“June took care of our two dogs for several days and was absolutely wonderful. She was clear and responsive in her communications before and during her stay. During the stay, it seems our dogs loved her and look to have had a great time while we were gone. We highly recommend June — and we look forward to working with her again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and horses since I was 10 years old. I ride horses currently, have taken care of my personal cats through their senior years, and cared for my parents dogs. I am well versed in medication administration as well. I work from home and have flexible availability. I will come to you and can keep your pet company, provide care, and monitor if needed. I would care for your pet as if they are my own. I adore animals and my goal is to keep them happy and comfortable.

About: Hi, I’m Sarah. Having grown up on a farm, caring for animals has always been second nature to me. This background gave me a deep understanding of animal behavior and taught me the responsibility it takes to keep pets happy, healthy, and safe. I love connecting with animals of all shapes and sizes, and I bring that dedicated, farm-raised work ethic to every pet I watch. It fits in with the care that I provide for my pet. Strict feedings schedules, walks, attention, bathroom breaks and being aware of how a pet is acting. Respect for the clients' rules about how they want their pet cared for and respect for their personal space. Also, making sure animals get along.

About: With experience as a former veterinary technician, I have a strong background in providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care for dogs and cats. I’m experienced with administering medications, maintaining daily routines, and providing general pet care while paying close attention to each animal’s individual needs. I’ve worked in a variety of animal shelters and kennels, giving me experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and behavioral needs. I have a particular understanding of dog behavior and am comfortable working with shy, nervous, or anxious dogs and cats. My goal is always to help each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I also previously fostered puppies through the Brandywine SPCA, where I helped prepare them for adoption by teaching basic commands, manners, and foundational training. Before each pet-sitting stay, I like to meet with you and your pets so I can learn their routines, preferences, personalities, and specific needs. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them with the same patience, attention, and care I would give my own. Your pets’ safety and well-being are always my top priorities I currently work full-time at a kennel with a consistent schedule, including the same days off each week. My typical shifts are six hours, with occasional 10-hour weekend shifts. I receive my schedule two weeks in advance, allowing me to plan ahead and maintain flexibility for additional work commitments While I’m currently unable to have pets in my own home, I’m happy to travel to your home to provide pet-sitting services. I like to meet both you and your pets beforehand so they can get comfortable with me in their own environment. This also gives me the opportunity to learn about their routines, personalities, and individual needs while getting to know you and building a trusting relationship. I love spending quality time with pets, whether that means playing with dogs and cats, giving them attention and companionship, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. :::

About: Hello! I am a huge animal lover, who regrets not pursuing a degree in Veterinary Medicine. Animals have been my passion, love, and a needed presence for my entire life; in fact, my first word was kitty. As a child I researched animals of all kinds, and still do today. I love to train and play with dogs, snuggle with cats, ride horses, sing with the birds, make kissy faces at fish, etc. I often research natural pet care(& for humans!), training for all animals. I am educated in pet behavior and look for any signs of distress or change in your pets behavior, physical and mental health. I also enjoy making homemade organic, healthy treats for all pets. I've had many types of animals over the years and genuinely looking to enjoy time with your pets. I'm happy to just spend time, train (I am not a professional but do enjoy training) and walk or hike. I am a Mama to 5 cats & one Golden/Brittany mix (who are not currently in my home & in Maine as they transition here). I have owned two special needs cata that required medication, special requirements and sub-q fluids at home - I am happy to care for any special requirements. I also do a lot of pet photography and would be overjoyed to take your pets photos! I'm excited to meet and bond with your fur babies! I work typical M-F hours and off on the weekends (and summer!). I will fully integrate their needs into my schedule and ensure their needs are met and they are happy, safe and healthy. I will treat your pets as my own while you are away. I am very affectionate and attentive and truly seek to connect with your baby. I'm happy to send pictures and videos as much as you like! I'd like to connect not only with them, but you and hopefully be a trusted person to rely on when you need care for your animals.

About: My years of having and loving cats and dogs of different types has prepared me to be qualified to love and care for yours when you have a need. I am retired from the Army and Retail Distribution. I enjoy my travel time and socializing time, but want to be useful in a way that would absolutely bring me joy. Being with fur babies of the canine and feline variety would be fun. I can tailor my time to your needs. I can come to you so that your loved one does not need to be put in an environment they're not familiar with. Play time, cuddle time, walks, all no problem. I treat them as safely and lovingly as I do my own.

“Kendall was amazing. Very caring and loving to our pups. She takes the time and cares for them as if they are one of her own. Very professional and kept us informed while we were on our trip! Very happy with having her watch our pups!!”

Brandon A.

“We loved Michaela! She took the stress out of leaving our cat for the week. It was our first experience with Rover and we will absolutely be asking her to come back and hang with Kitty when we go away! She was wonderful with updates and making sure our cat and home were always in perfect shape. She is so caring and made sure our cat took her pill morning and night. Thank you for treating Kitty just like your own!”

Jarrett W.

“Maurisa is amazing! If you’re ever nervous about having someone watch your fur babies in-home, I highly recommend her. She sent updates and photos every day! Both dogs were less stressed when we got home from vacation!! Will be booking again!!”

Amanda S.

“Mia was a wonderful Dog Sitter! She came to our home for a week on very short notice and took such good care of our girl. She sent regular pictures and videos, and left the house clean when she left. We will absolutely be using her again!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, it doesn’t matter if the animal is aquatic, on land or in the air— I admire all life on earth! I want to use this experience towards my schooling to become a Zoologist. I have no day job so I can fully work around your schedule until school starts for me. I have transportation so I also have no issues with that as well. I am a very patient individual, and I have no issue with learning temperate and personality of each pet to guarantee a safe, fun visit!

About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for pets for years, including raising my own dog since he was a puppy. I’m very involved in his daily care, including feeding, walks, routines, giving lots of attention, and helping manage medical needs when needed. Because of this, I understand how important patience, consistency, and trust are when caring for someone’s pet. I’m also very comfortable with cats and have had plenty of experience raising kittens as well. I enjoy spending time with different personalities, whether they’re playful, shy, energetic, or need extra comfort and care. I’ll always treat pets like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a very open and flexible schedule! I do work part-time mostly once or twice a week on weekends, but outside of my work schedule I’m available most days and have plenty of time to give pets attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I’m happy to be flexible and work around your pet’s needs and routine. Since I will be caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to help them feel as comfortable, safe, and stress-free as possible by sticking to their normal routine. I’m very attentive to instructions and will make sure your pet gets the care, attention, exercise, feeding, potty breaks, and affection they need while you’re away. I also have hands-on experience with crate training through my own dog, who is crate trained and comfortably sleeps in his crate when prompted. I understand the importance of patience, routine, and making pets feel secure in their environment. I will always treat your home and pets with respect and care as if they were my own.

About: Hi! My name’s Steph, and animals are my absolute favorite thing in the world. I’ve owned and cared for dogs for as long as I can remember, so I decided to make it my full time job😊 I genuinely love to learn about each of my furry clients, and if they are willing, I love to teach them as well! Dog training is one of my favorite hobbies! Furthermore, I pride myself in my ability to care for animals in a way that is specialized to their unique needs and/or wants. Whether your dog needs multiple walks a day, a lot of play time, medication administered, special attention to diet, undivided attention, or they just like to cuddle, I will provide it for them! (They will also be getting very spoiled, I can’t help it.) In the past, I’ve taken my new furry friends out to the dog bakery to pick out a treat or maybe a toy, walked them extra long on a nice day, sent them home with their favorite toy or treat they found in my enormous toy bin, and - my favorite - cuddled them all night. I love to bring animals into my home - or enter theirs - and make them feel safe, comfortable, happy, and right at home. As a dog mom myself, that’s exactly how I would want my pet to feel in someone else’s care! Pet care is my full-time job, so my whole schedule revolves around animals! This means I can provide clients with walks or drop in visits at practically any hour, day, or even holiday. Additionally, this means that I am available to have your dog for daycare or provide walks during common business hours, like 9-5s during the week. Of course, too, it means I can house sit and board pets and provide pretty much 24/7 care for them!! I wouldn’t have it any other way. Your pets safety will always be my number one concern. I will make sure to follow whatever precautions are necessary to keep them safe! Please let me know of anything to watch out for with your pet (allergies, doesn’t get along with dogs, reactive outside, etc), and I will make sure you feel comfortable and confident with them in my care! I think establishing trust with animals is so important, especially as a pet care giver. I always approach pets slowly, letting them come to me on their own time. If we are to do a meet and greet, I make sure they see my whole living space, meet my dog at a comfortable distance at first, and to the best of my ability, simply just try not to overwhelm them. Staying in a new place with a new person can be a lot! Moreover, I whole heartedly believe only in positive reinforcement, meaning I solely provide positive feedback or rewards to your pet, which entirely creates a relaxing and trusting environment as well as relationship!

About: With over 10 years of pet-sitting experience and a lifetime of caring for animals, I bring reliability, attentiveness, and plenty of love to every pet I care for. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own and strive to provide peace of mind while you’re away. I work full-time, with one day each week working from home, which gives me flexibility for daytime walks, drop-in visits, and check-ins. On the days I’m in the office, I’m available before and after work for walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I also have weekend availability and can accommodate a variety of schedules. I love staying active and spending time with animals, so providing dependable, loving care is something I genuinely enjoy. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own. I understand the anxiety that can come with leaving your pet and home while traveling, so I make it a priority to follow routines closely, keep your space clean, and provide regular updates for peace of mind. When caring for pets in my own home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment tailored to their individual needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or simply relaxing, I work to make sure they feel secure, happy, and right at home while in my care.
