“Stephen was great! I felt safe right away letting him take my puppy for the first time. You can tell the people who can connect with pets and Stephen not only bonded with her quickly but seems very knowledgeable about pet care in general so was able to ask a few questions about Mara as well. So glad we found someone, I definitely recommend him to anyone in the area!”

About: I have had my Rottweiler (Chet) for 12 years and she is absolutely my favorite person. She is a part of my family and I tend to her the same way I do for my 4 year old son. She needs time to play, to exercise, to feel loved and appreciated. Making sure that her needs are being met is a top priority for me as I’m sure it is for you and your companion. I currently work at Farm Sanctuary where I also help care for farm animals. Animals are a passion of mine. I love taking Chet for walks and would love to be able to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is getting the attention and exercise that they need.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life growing up, I know how important they are to us and it can be very stressful to find the right, safe situation for them when we want to travel and live our lives. I am very used to caring for things compassionately as I have been a registered nurse for 6 years now. I currently am in EMT school two nights a week and transitioning from full time ICU bedside nursing to pediatric home care nursing part time while in school through the fall. I have an empty spare room for boarding, and wood floors that can handle any accidents that may arise without worry, I can also very easily keep my own cat separate from those who do not wish to socialize.
About: I love Gods creatures, great and small. I am a lover of unconditional 4 legged of love! I will treat your fur family as if they were my own- unconditionally and with care! I do work a part time job, but officially retired, I love to walk, I look forward to being motivated and sharing the joy of it! I have flexibility and mobility. I can also stay in your pets comfortable environment, to make sure they have comfort and care well with them. I would favor allowing your fur family to remain in their comfortable environment rather than stressing them in my home. I am available to come to serve you and them.
About: I have been around animals for 43 years. I have volunteered at an animal shelter. I have had my own personal zoo at my house 😊 I am currently working part time so I have lots of time to entertain and cuddle your pets 😊. For the most part I am always available. I have owned my home for 20+ years. I have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room for playing and lots of zoomies.
“Nathan did a great job with my new rescue dog who was scared and timid of a stranger in the home. He was patient and able to win him over to make a new friend. Will definitely use Nathan in the future.”
About: I’ve always lived with cats and dogs and have always had a special place in my heart for all animals. I graduated in veterinary assistance in 2019 and work at an animal hospital! I currently work almost 10 hour days so if your pup is not OK being alone that long I might not be a good fit for them! I would love to pet sit on the side as well as take any pet for walks! I see your pet as family and will treat them as so, making sure they don’t go hungry, cold or lonely! I have volunteered at my local shelter walking and helping with dogs and cats as well. I can even simply check in on any reptiles and smaller furry friends like hamsters and bunnies as well! I have experience with fur babies who have anxiety, cancer, joint problems, seizures and much more, with that being said I am experienced in having to give medications and pay extra close attention! Please don’t hesitate to contact me! I would love to meet your fur baby!!! ❤️
About: Hi! my name is Chloe, I’m a paralegal and I love animals. I have a lot of experience with being a caregiver for pets. My uncle previously was a breeder and he would have my sister and I take care of the puppies during his work days. I also have experience with caring for others pets and have completed many services through Wag. Now that summer is approaching, i am ready to fill my evenings and weekends with animals. I will have more availablity as the summer goes on. Depending on any service, I usually read the owners notes to care for the pet during the time asked to do so.

Melissa W.
“Missy is the kind of sitter every pet parent hopes to find. From our first meet-and-greet, she connected instantly with our two spirited miniature schnauzer boys, Franklin and Benjamin, and treated them as if they were her own. While we were away, Missy sent thoughtful updates and photos that captured their personalities—whether they were chasing squeaky toys or curled up for afternoon naps—so we never had to wonder how they were doing. Beyond the sweet snapshots, Missy’s professionalism shone through in every detail: prompt communication, meticulous adherence to their feeding and walking routines, and a spotless home when we returned. If you’re looking for peace of mind and pups who come home happy, tired, and thoroughly loved, book Missy. Five stars simply don’t feel like enough.”

Chloe A.
“Chloe is amazing at caring for herself and her pets, and is so gentle with other's pets. She is a pet lover through and through and spoils every pet she comes across with as much as she can. When she first met my cat, I warned her he didn't like strangers and would probably run away as soon as he sniffed her. Instead, he warmed right up to her. Chloe is also great at managing stressful situations and has been there for me countless times. She makes sure she has everything figured out and a solution for any situation that can go awry. She is a problem-solver, fierce, and full of love. I believe that she's great for taking care of your pets 100%!!”
Elizabeth R.
“Elizabeth has been responsible for taking care of my dog Penny. She always went above and beyond to ensure that my pet was happy and safe while in her care. She would take her on walks, feed, and play with her. Elizabeth was always sure to ask if I wanted any specific accommodations on that specific day for Penny, and was happy to implement them into my dogs time with her. Overall, I cannot recommend Elizabeth enough to care for your pets, she will always be my first choice for a pet caregiver”
Marilyn C.Star Sitter
“Marilyn is a girl with an incredible charisma, she is very kind and very respectful, I took care of my cat for several months, I had to go to another state and left him in her care, everything was excellent, her attention to my cat was incredible, I thank her very much for having done an excellent job, without a doubt I would leave him in her care again.”

If you live in the firestone park community and need a dog walker to take your 4 legged friend for a goof walk, she is your girl. She took our 5 month old puppy on a walk at the same time every day! She also takes pictures of the walk and posts them on the time card. Definitely recommend.
Donald was an excellent Dog walker for us. He accommodated my last minute trip away and walked our dog on several occasions during our time away. If you’re looking for someone for your pet, Donald is the one! He followed all instructions and left our pet feeling totally comfortable.
