“Needed someone to play ball with my dogs while I was out of town and my wife was home recovering from surgery. Peggy was accommodating and reliable. She helped tire out the pups so my wife could continue to heal. Would definitely use again!”


“Dana was very responsive and quick to respond to my request, which I appreciated. She sent a video and pictures from her visit with Lucy. I could tell that Lucy loved her. I would highly recommend Dana.”


About: Hi! I have lived with at least one dog my whole life (most of the time 3) as well as 2 cats. I have had a year of professionally working with dogs at a daycare/ boarding camp. I am capable of working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and feel comfortable taking care of dogs with most health issues. I have a beagle who has epilepsy, and 2 pitbull mixes currently. As someone who struggles finding adequate care for my dogs while I’m away, my goal is to make you feel calm and reassured your pets are in good hands! I will be starting college in the fall of ‘23 in Maine. I will have Wednesdays, most of Fridays, Weekends, some afternoons, and most evenings off. I am looking to do some work this summer to get in to the swing of things but I already have 2 jobs so I don’t want to be overloaded. My schedule is variable right now but I am available on weekends for the most part. As I am moving in to a dorm, I won’t be able to care for any pets in my residence but currently I take care of my pitties in full. They are my dogs so I bathe, walk, feed, dress, cut nails, cuddle, give scratches, and much more to fully provide for them.

“Stacy was wonderful! Very communicative and easy to work with. She came over for a meet and greet ahead of time and showered our sweet foster, Petey with lots of love. He was so happy to see her and was totally at ease. You can tell Stacy really cares for the animals she takes care of! Will definitely book Stacy again!”



About: I love playing with and care for cats and dogs. I've trained my cat to go outside on a harness and leash and to do a few tricks! I'm a teacher currently on summer vacation and I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to come and care for and play with your pet. At this time, I would come to your house to provide care for your pet because I have my own cat at my house who doesn't get along well with others.

“Mariann did a great job communicating with us and being flexible about scheduling. She gave my elderly cat her pill twice daily and kept us in the loop. I felt very comfortable leaving Missy in her capable hands!”


About: I’ve cared for every kind of animal from cats and dogs to fish and horses. I absolutely adore animals! Since 2020 I have sustained a back injury that limits my mobility, however while I can’t run, I can walk confidently and love to walk with dogs especially. By lending me your furry friends to play with, you’re also helping me stay mobile. So pet care is more than just a gig to me, it is a blessing that allows me to pet all the cats and dogs, while keeping me healthy. For overnights and house sitting, I will simply request you allow my wife to be with me. We’re a package deal, 2 sitters for the price of one! We are a clean and responsible duo, you’ll surely love us! Thank you for considering me for your sitting needs! I promise to love your friends like they’re my own, keep them safe, entertained and well fed. My schedule is entirely open until I return to college in September, and even then I may be able to continue pet care. I will update my availability as it changes, so you’ll always know when I’m available. I will be caring for any pets at your home, I find this to be most ideal as the pets are in a familiar location so it will be less stressful for them overall. I also have 3 very timid cats at home who don’t get along well with new animals. For over night service such as house sitting, my wife will be with me. Don’t worry, we are a very clean and responsible duo. Clear communication is important, so that we both understand what is expected and needed.

About: I’ve been taking care of my own dogs since I was five. I love going on hikes and I have plenty of experience handling highly energetic dogs :) I love all dogs, big and small, and I am able to handle three large dogs at once! Currently I work part time and I am looking to fill my spare time with taking care of animals! I love being outside and playing with dogs so this is the perfect fit for me I know a lot of perfect pet-friendly trails that I’ve taken my own dogs on walks at, and I can calm down even the rowdiest of dogs :)

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep sense of responsibility, patience, and genuine love for animals. I bring hands-on experience caring for both high-energy puppies and older dogs who require a gentler approach and extra attention. Whether it’s sticking to a consistent potty-training routine, handling medications, or just providing a calm and comforting presence, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while their owners are away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m attentive, reliable, and make sure to communicate clearly with owners so they feel at ease every step of the way. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, slow walks, or a little bit of both, I’m here to give them the quality care and affection they deserve. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine, especially since I work a part-time job with a flexible schedule. It allows me to spend meaningful time with animals throughout the day while still being attentive and consistent with their needs. Caring for pets is not just something I enjoy—it brings balance to my day, keeps me active, and adds a sense of purpose. I love being able to provide companionship and care, whether it's morning walks, mid-day playtime, or relaxing evenings together. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, I prioritize comfort, routine, and safety. I create a calm and loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I stick closely to their usual feeding, potty, and play schedules, and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow detailed instructions, and make sure their pet feels relaxed in their familiar surroundings. Whether it’s walks, medication, or cuddle time, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s individual needs.

About: Always had dogs & cats as a kid. Always loved it too! I worked with them for years and years and got a good overall feel/sense for various types and breeds, situations etc. I started taking care of neighbors pets, then friends too, and once Covid shut down our family stores, it gave me a chance to continue doing what I love, working with animals! I especially enjoy the challenge of winning over dogs that are timid, uncomfortable, anxious, have been abused, etc. I love proving to them that they're Safe. Everythings alright. Its ok to relax. Some are nervous around me or arent great with adults/males/strangers etc. That's Ok! Please see my reviews, Thanks for your consideration! My day totally revolves around my clients. They come First! Depending on what care I have to give to each animal. I'm around all the time otherwise! I take countless precautions to assure the safety of anyone and everyone that will be involved in my care for my clients. I keep an eye on them all day and night!

“5 STARS! I was so nervous to leave my bunnies at home and I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. She followed my directions and took great care of my pet bunnies. I will be using her again in the future and highly recommend her as a pet sitter !”


About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have always loved caring for them. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing outside, or just spending quality time together, I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and making sure they’re happy and well cared for. I understand how important it is to keep pets active, loved, and safe, and I treat every dog like they’re part of the family. As a teacher currently on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. My days are open, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays throughout the week. I love having the opportunity to spend my break doing something I enjoy—being active, outdoors, and taking care of pets. It’s the perfect way to combine my love for animals with my free time during the summer months. When school starts, I’m available after 3pm. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I have a fenced yard where dogs can run and play freely under supervision, which gives them a great outlet for exercise and fresh air. Inside, pets have plenty of space to relax and feel at home. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, whether that means regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or cuddles. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines, making sure their pets feel secure and cared for while maintaining consistency in their daily lives.

About: I have experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats. My responsibilities included feeding them, taking dogs on walks, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure they had fresh water. I also spent time playing with them and giving them attention so they felt comfortable while their owners were away. I'm reliable, gentle, and always make sure pets are safe and cared for. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of pet sitting needs. Whether it's early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening care, I'm able to adjust my availability, making it easier for pet owners to feel confident that their pets are in good hands no matter the situation. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, respectful, and trustworthy environment—for both the pet and the owner. I follow all instructions carefully, keep the space clean, and make sure doors, gates, and routines are handled exactly as requested. I give regular updates, including photos and messages, so the owner feels connected and reassured while away. I treat their home with care and their pets like family, building trust through reliability, communication, and genuine attention to detail.

About: I have owned and fostered dogs my whole life. I have volunteered at rescues as well. I enjoy walking, playing and exercising with dogs. I even live going for car rides with them as well as playing ball in the yard. I work a remote and flexible job. I am home mostly all day. I have a fenced in yard. I have a few dogs of my own and love to spend time with all breeds of furry friends! I have a fenced in yard and work from home so I have plenty of time to keep your baby entertained. I have 2 dogs, (one is 14 and sleeps mostly all day) who would love to keep your pal company!

Christopher G.
“Chris has been friends Cleo since about 2008. Cleo is a cat with a wide vocabulary. Chris understands nuances in most of the meows. More importantly he knows the difference between “feed me” and “give me attention” which are very similar vocalizations but different. He is also very good about little details like not petting her in spots where she is arthritic.”


Cole W.
“Cole is a natural born animal lover, who has unrelenting dedication to making sure every animal he comes in contact with is a happy one. Cole will love your pet just as much as he loves his own, which is a good spot for a pup or kitty to be!”


Ariana S.
“Ariana is an excellent care giver to my cat Papaya. Every time she looks after her I come home to a happy well taken care of cat. She will always go the extra mile whether that's giving you animal a longer walk, taking the time to play for a few extra minutes or noticing the little things like refilling their water bowl. I am always more than satisfied with the care she gives to my cat. Ariana always exceeds expectations and is an incredible pet sitter.”


Ryan C.
“Wonderful with all dogs. Patient and loving. Dog whisperer. Great trainer too. Will take great care of your dog. Highly recommend Ryan for all types of dogs.”

Kristen L.
“I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter than Kristen! From the moment I met her, I knew my dog was in great hands. Kristen is not only professional and reliable but also has a genuine love for animals. She kept me updated with adorable photos and texts, which made me feel so at ease while I was away. My dog, who can be a bit shy with new people, warmed up to her immediately. Kristen went above and beyond, taking extra time to play, walk, and give lots of love. I truly appreciate how attentive she is to my pet’s needs. I’ll definitely be booking Kristen again in the future!”
