About: Hi, I’m Megan and I love pets! I grew up with two family cats and took personal responsibility for their well-being. In high school I pet sat for neighborhood pups. Going off to college I missed my best friend kitty and would FaceTime with her! Always a joy to be reunited. Since then I have been intentional for caring for the cats and dogs I come into contact with. I am a happy dauntie (dog auntie) to a golden retriever and love to spoil him with play, adventures, and quality care. I am so excited to meet your pets and build a special bond that supports their individual needs. Pet care is a a passion of mine and I like to fit it into my rotating schedule. Days off are times to dedicate to pet care. Two days off a week are allotted to intentional time with pets. Following owner instructions is the key to pet well-being and happiness! Combining my own experience with cats, dogs, and rodents with the expert directions left by the pet’s loved ones I’m able to provide an optimal experience for all. Popping in to meet pets physical and emotional needs- feeding, watering, play, and walks as arranged!

About: After 13 years as a devoted dog mom, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'm a professor with a flexible schedule who works from home most days, so I provide steady attention, supervision, and companionship. With a spacious fenced yard and a nearby park, your pet will have plenty of safe space to play, explore, and feel at home. I miss dog energy in my home and would love to care for yours! For everyone's comfort and safety, I require that dogs be non-aggressive and friendly around my animal-loving 6-year-old daughter (she is with me half the time). Meet and greets are required (virtual or in person) before booking. This helps us make sure it feels like a great match for everyone. I am a professor, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time off to fit your pet's care into my daily routine. I have a large fenced yard and a park just steps from my home, so your pet can get lots of exercise. I prefer to host no more than one to two dogs at a time for boarding or daycare, so each pup receives plenty of attention and care. I may make exceptions for up to three dogs if they’re from the same family and are comfortable together.
“Susan is consistently conscientious, caring and flexible! I never worry one bit about the safety or happiness of my dog while she is with her. My dog's excitement when we pull up to her house is all the proof I need that she enjoys being there. I would recommend Susan 1000%. She is hands down the best!”
About: I have been taking care of pets for most of my life. We had a family dog who lived to be 18 years old and I also was the neighborhood go to for pet sitting while growing up. My schedule is very open right now. I’m open to hanging with pets pretty much any time and any day! I will work your needs into my schedule. I live in a second story condo with a balcony. I have plenty of grassy outdoor space to take pets outside. I can let the pets hang out on the balcony with or without supervision.

About: Over the years, friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and love their pets like my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments—from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience. My priority is making sure your pup feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. I can take dogs out for walks, bathroom breaks, or playtime whenever they need. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays and can easily adjust to fit your pet’s routine. I have a large fenced-in yard where pets can safely play and explore. Since I work from home, I’m able to give them plenty of attention, regular bathroom breaks, and exercise. I always prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment so your furry family member feels right at home.

“Melina saved the day and took Brego for a much needed walk while I was enjoying a little more time than usual on the mountain. Will definitely be requesting her services again!”
“Emi came to our house before the booking started to meet Rocky and get to know his routine. She asked all the important questions to make sure she understood his needs, which immediately gave me confidence that he would be in great hands. Emi did an amazing job taking care of Rocky! She took him on walks and, when the weather was too hot, brought him to the dog park in our apartment complex so he could still get exercise and have fun. She was an absolute lifesaver during a very busy week. She also sent me photos of Rocky every day, and I could tell from his face how happy he was! I am so grateful to have found someone I can truly trust, not only with my home, but with the most precious thing in my life: Rocky. I would absolutely recommend Emi to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful dog walker.”
About: I’m a calm, reliable, and attentive pet sitter who understands that every pet has different needs and personalities. As a longtime dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. My dog Charlie was part of my life for 14 years, so I understand the level of care, patience, and love pets deserve at every stage of life, from energetic younger dogs to seniors who need a gentler approach. I’m especially patient with anxious or high-energy dogs and prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, sticking to routines, or just providing companionship, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I also believe strong communication matters, so I make sure owners feel informed and at ease with regular updates and photos. I currently work part-time from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy being active, going on walks, and spending time with animals. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting during both weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and individual needs, whether that means extra exercise, a slower pace for senior dogs, or helping anxious pets feel more at ease. As a longtime dog owner myself, I understand how important trust and peace of mind are when someone else is caring for your pet, and I genuinely treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and affection I would give my own. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, follow care instructions carefully, and provide regular updates and photos so owners always feel informed and confident their pet is being well cared for.
“Lauren was fabulous. She showed up on time, asked great questions to get to know Steve and his walking style, and was out for the whole time or extra. I will be rebooking regularly!”
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, including several with special needs and disabilities, so I understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and compassionate care. I’ve also spent many years dog and cat sitting for friends and family, caring for pets with all kinds of personalities, routines, and energy levels. I know our pets are family, and I would love the opportunity to provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment for your dog or cat while you’re away! I work full-time from home and am always there during the day. I can schedule weekend care but need a bit more notice as my social calendar can fill up. No pets at home. I can have yours over during the day. Night time is ok if it's not more than a couple of nights, and as long as your pet is quiet/well-behaved.
“Don was amazing with my pup! He gave a great experience of adventure to her and I really loved that. He worked with her while she was with him and I love that also. I highly recommend Don for the care of your pup! My pup is usually apprehensive with men and I was happy she enjoyed her time and stay with Don. He communicated well with me and I appreciated that. Thank you so much Don :)”
About: I recently put my senior dog down and my house feels so empty. I grew up with cats and dogs but have pet-sitted for friends with bunnies, fish, gerbils, rats, etc. I can accommodate taking care of animals of all ages and needs. I am a remote, contract employee so my schedule is very flexible. I don't have children or pets so I can (and am happy to be able to) provide lots of quality time to the pet. I am a responsible individual that loves spending time with animals. I respect and care about the pet, owner and environment. Ensuring the happiness and safety of the pet is a priority for me. I am comfortable and confident taking care of any pet and their needs.
About: I was raised around dogs and horses my entire childhood and share a dog and cat with my girlfriend currently. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to be home and available often and love being active so I look forward to walks, runs and park days made better with a pup or two! We’ve fostered over 20 dogs so I also know the intricacies needed to handle dogs of all personalities and ages. I adore being around animals and will always care for them as I would my own! I am currently working part time. My days fluctuate and whether it is morning or afternoon is dependent on the week. So I have much time available with some variability. I ensure to ask questions of the owner and I make sure to be present and observant of the animal. If I am taking the dog on walks for instance, I like to know the level of handling the dog is used to and what the owner wishes. When with the animal, I ensure I notice its behaviors to learn its habits. I care much more for positive re-enforcement but can apply gentle negative re-enforcement (tugs on lease for instance) if the owner is ok with that. I am trained with e-collars so happy to ease into that with an animal if that is best.

About: I have been a pet parent for multiple dogs in the past twenty years, with often two or three fur babies at a time! I am a Registered Nurse, and am just as comfortable providing TLC to dog babies as I am to humans. Due to COVID, I am currently working from home, and have more options to watch and care for your fur baby. Because of my nursing education and experience, I am proficient at administering injectable (or other) medications, performing dressing changes, or doing any other task which requires medical knowledge or skill. I am quasi – retired at this point, and have lots of free time to devote to your fur baby! I would love to schedule either recurring or one-time visits - I'm flexible! My fur baby is a very friendly husky who loves playmates! I have a fenced-in yard, with walking access to Belmar park. My significant other is also a lover of fur babies great and small, and we are both Registered Nurses (for humans). We treat our fur baby as a member of our family, and we would treat yours the same, as well!

About: I’ve grown up in a pet friendly family. I personally own cats but often dog-sit for multiple family members and friends. I have lots of experience with both dogs and cats.

Any walks can be around your neighborhood where your dog feels most comfortable. I can accommodate any house sitting needs. I’ve given medicine to two dogs on a regular basis when I have sat for them before. Any questions or concerns you have can absolutely be discussed as I am sure I can take care of your first baby.
