“Lily always does an excellent job watching my dog Tito! She always sends pictures and videos of him hanging out peacefully with the other little doggos that she takes care of.”
“Daisy lived her overnight stay with Saori. She came home happy and super relaxed. I loved getting photo updates throughout her stay. I knew Daisy was in good hands and it helped make my trip so much more enjoyable knowing she was safe and well cared for. I’ll be booking again soon.”
“Ryan was great with our dog, Sprint! He was very responsive and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day, which we really appreciated while we were away on vacation. Sprint got plenty of exercise and trips to the dog park every day. I also appreciated that Ryan was attentive and always followed up with questions if he needed clarification on anything related to Sprint’s care. We felt like Sprint was in great hands and would definitely use Ryan again!”
“Andrea is awesome, she sent me photos everyday without even asking for it. she made sure I was comfortable with dropping off my pup at a new place. She has a huge backyard where the dogs can play. Nothing tires my dog but he came home exhausted from playing with other dogs in the backyard. I would highly recommend her!!!!”
“Sue was great. Really patient and accommodating. My pup was returned to me happy and healthy. Her husband was also very nice and they both seemed very confident and comfortable with my pup who’s a 48lb pittie. Thank you Sue and Franky. We appreciated your care and attention to our fur baby. Sue also sent regular selfies of the pup and was quick to reply to messages.”
“Melissa is a thoughtful and caring dog-sitter. She told me she loves dogs and it show in all her actions when she dog sat my labradoodle. She read him very well and met his emotional needs.”
“Nicole and her family did a great job taking care of my pup. She sent photos and updates regularly, and my dog looked like he had a blast. He was very happy and tired after pickup 🐶”
“Kyle and Radha took great care of my rescue pup, Fiona while I was away for two nights! I was a little nervous to leave her for the first time since adopting her, but she came back tired and happy, which tells me that she had a great time! She really wasn’t even excited to see me when I picked her up lol ?, but that’s ok with me because it means she enjoyed herself. I loved knowing that Fiona had a great, safe fenced yard to romp around in and other dogs to play with while I was away. I would definitely book with Kyle again!”
“They accomdated us last minute when a previous booking didn't work out. 3 small dogs including a very senior dog with strong seperation anxiety. Managed it all so well; very patient, gentle and kind with all of them. Very grateful!”
“Hazard took wonderful care of our boy Vinny! She was incredibly responsive, sent updates with photos regularly and most importantly Vinny was very comfortable staying with her and her family. We were so happy with the care and attention he received. We would highly recommend her pet sitting services to anyone looking for a responsible person- we were not worried at all while we were away. Hopefully we will be able to get away again for a few days-if so, Hazard will be hearing from us again. She was just wonderful- thank you Hazard!! ❤️”
“Rich was a joy to meet and to care for our 2 pups! We loved his daily puppy pics & videos. Our Lucy loved Rich & our big shy guy, Percy, who soon settled in, too. Great experience at the house of Rich and his two fur babies.”
“Rusudan provided excellent care for my boy Stax. Stax is a senior dog who requires medication and also has some mobility issues, due to his arthritis. Rusudan cared for him, as if he were her own. Tending to all of his needs. Rusudan provided me updates throughout the day helping to reassure me that he was well taken care of. Stax had an amazing time and we will be sure to rebook with them.”
“I had a last minute request and Jomini responded almost immediately and saved the day. She asked questions to make sure my dog had the proper precautions to be outdoors at her place and checked with me about any specific schedule before drop off. She was super responsive and flexible with timing for drop off / pick up. She sent so many pictures of my dog and I could see he was having a great time!”
“Kayla was great with Scrappy! He clearly enjoyed spending the day with her and came home super happy and completely tired out, which definitely tells me she kept him busy and played with him all day. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was having such a good time. I’ll absolutely be reaching out to Kayla again in the future! 🐶💕”
“Radostina did a great job with our 5 year old and 5 month old pups. She has a fenced in yard and areas set up for playing and sleeping. She was so loving and sent lots of pictures. Through those pictures we could tell that our pups were loving their time with her and her family. Thank you Radostina!”
“Catherine was wonderful with Josie, she attended to every one of her needs and treated her like the true diva that she is! She gave her her drops, her eye drops three times a day on schedule, sent me pictures and videos. I was hoping Josie would a still wanna come home with me and not stay with Catherine.!!!Sue w.”

“Alex was amazing. She always let us know how the kitties were doing, sent us pictures and let us know if she was going to be early or late. She has a tough assignment with 4 cats, all having to be fed seperately and 2 on medicine. She played with the ones willing to come out of hiding and she patiently worked on the scardey cats. We were able to enjoy our vacation and not worry. We will definitely have her come back again!”
“Mia is lovely and personable. She has much experience with cats, dogs, raising chickens, etc.! She dropped in to feed and play with our cat, Seamus. He was relaxed when we returned home from our trip. Mia left Seamus's accoutrement clean and very organized! We've already booked her for another drop-in week this summer. :)”
“I couldn’t be happier with the amazing care Gabriella provided for my feline companion, Chinnu! 🐾❤️ Chinnu is our sweet grey tabby girl, and knowing she was in such loving and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Gabriella was incredibly caring, attentive, gentle, and patient with Chinnu. It was obvious that she genuinely loves animals and treated Chinnu with the same warmth and affection she would give her own pet. She made sure Chinnu was comfortable, happy, and well cared for, and her thoughtful updates were so reassuring. I’m truly grateful for the love and attention she gave our little girl. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely wonderful with cats. We will definitely be asking her to take care of Chinnu again! ❤️🐱”
“John did a great job taking care of our pets. He was responsive, easy to talk to and genuinely cared for our crew of 2 cats and an energetic dog. We will utilize his services again soon.”
“Lanie saved us at the last minute when our usual sitter wasn’t available. She went above and beyond to communicate updates, accommodate special requests, and more. Thank you for the excellent care, Lanie!”
“Anna took really great care of my cat. I can tell she has a genuine interest in the wellbeing of animals. She even sent a photo during her visit which put me at ease. Would definitely use again!”
About: I love cats! In combination with having worked directly with local animal rescues and with 10 years of pet sitting and being a devoted cat parent/litter servant to two of my own, I understand kitty-cat behavior, health, and comfort on a specialized level. I have hands-on experience administering most medications, sanitizing living spaces, managing specialized diets, as well as trimming nails/grooming.
About: Animals bring joy to our world, and specifically to my world! I am happy and honored to care for your loved ones! With 15 years of experience caring for Dogs, Cats (and Bears oh my), Fish, Turtles, I have time-tested experience with success, and increasing enjoyability! I have a calm demeanor which has been in part inspired folks to call me a "dog whisperer." I will have an immediate, positive impact on your loved ones life, and want to be of service to our sacred pet community! I'm a recent Law graduate, looking for the next chapter of my adventure; and in the meantime I'd be honored to spend time taking the best care of your pet(s)! I believe all animals deserve compassion, attention, and a reliable food schedule/walks outside! I'll adhere to YOUR specific requests, I am here to serve YOU!
About: I have had a dog since I was in the 5th grade and have helped raise it since. Within the past 2 years, I took her to college with me for a month each year and had the best time with her. My former college roommate also got a puppy sophomore year (I lived with her sophomore-senior year), so I have helped raise him, and also watch/take care of him when my roommate is busy. My neighbors have also relied on me to take care of their dog when they are away. I really want to get more professional experience in handling dogs more so I'm able to work at dog and animal shelters/places! Currently, I’m completely available in the summer! I begin graduate school in September, but have no time constraints in the meanwhile, asides from when I’m away. In my home, I treat my pet like she's my child/baby and make sure that all of her needs are met always. I will do the same for my client's pets, as well as making sure the home is treated with the utmost respect. I truly love animals and would be happy to care for any dog.
“Dee is a wonderful sitter for my kitty! She lets me know key details of how the visits go, and is patient with my girl who may or may not be in a social mood. Dee is also very flexible with last minute bookings and her care is much appreciated!”
About: I have cared for cats since childhood and have had a lovely long-haired cat in the past. They receive attention to suit their particular needs and what is comfortable for them. I respect and adapt to each cat.
About: Hi all! I just recently graduated from Bates college and am looking to pet sit! I’ve been taking care of family dogs and cats my whole life, but started pet sitting for others when I was 13. I am looking to go back to school in the future to get my doctorate in physical therapy, but in the meantime I’ll be home all summer and throughout the upcoming school year! I currently am working part time as a lifeguard while I am home for the summer but my schedule varies each week so there are no specific days off limits! I am free on both weekdays and weekends, I just ask that you contact me in advance! I can stay in your home to pet sit, or I can make frequent stops to feed them, play with them, and take them out to use the bathroom! I am available for one day gigs or for long term!
About: I have had dogs, cats, puppies in my life since I was born. I have had the pleasure of training all types of dogs in many different areas. When I was younger my family used to always take trips up to Marthas Vineyard, we always had to leave our dogs at a kennel which we realized later on was not the best thing to do for our dogs. Emotionally/mentally we could tell it had taken a toll on them, so we started leaving them home with Pet Sitters. That was the best decision we had made. I want to be able to provide the same love and care that our pet sitters have provided in the past, but for your pet! Im currently working privately as a Personal Trainer and a Hypnotherapist Practitioner so my schedule is quite flexible. I also offer Reiki for both people and pets (Dogs, Cats, Horses)!!! I don’t typically board pets but would be willing to work with someone if the situation was right. I am also willing and able to crate your pet if thats something you do in your home!
“Beautiful absolutely loved Abigail. I knew when I got a picture of her on the arm of the recliner that she was happy. Beautiful has got to really want a persons affection to be on the arm. Every thing went without a hitch for both my cats.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ridgefield
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: Our business has been booming with referrals and friends/family requests. Since dogs bring so much joy to life, I am dedicating more time to open bookings to new pets. I am a dog lover for a lifetime. As a kid, I would care for strays. As an adult, I have had a dog in my life for the past 30 years- I have adopted 3 full grown, mature labs from various shelters and they all had a great, long life! My current Lab is our sitting “mascot” and she welcomes all dogs to our homestay center. She was an adoptee from an elderly couple. My young adult son & dog-lover is a great co-host to care for and play with your pet. Pets are like family here and they will be loved, cared for and respected. We will give play, attention, exercise, love and create a setting where your pet feels comfortable and not stressed. We should do a meet and greet with our dogs prior to first boarding. The yard here is fully fenced, but I only let dogs out in the yard with supervision. I will give walks/hikes, as you like. Your dog can sleep and hang-out in whatever area of the house is comfortable to him or her. If they prefer a crate, we can. If they prefer their own room, they can have my lower level finished room. If they like to mix it up with the family they can. We cater to your dog and help to diminish their stress and let them be themselves. If the pup is stressed and needs extra attention at night, they can sleep in the bedroom, ( sometimes on the bed, only if you allow that) . I have cared for multiple senior and special needs dogs, providing medication, and special care routines. We look forward to getting to know your loving pet and offering them a home away from home! Pet Care is a dominant share of our daily lives. Someone is here most of the day, so lots of interaction and attention is provided. If we run out , here or there ( as you would at home) each dog get’s their own space to hang-out. Dogs visiting from different families are only together, when supervised. My Home-Away-Vacay-Stay has a fully fenced yard with plenty of toys. Run of the house and cuddles with our family make your pup feel at home.
“Dew goes above and beyond for my puppy. Checks in regularly when he is in her care and even checks in when he is at home. As a first time user of a dog-sitter, I was anxious about leaving my puppy in someone else’s care. Dew almost immediately alleviated my concerns. I feel like her care has been a major benefit for me and for my puppy’s social development. Will continue to take advantage of Dew’s services for the foreseeable future. Highly recommended!”
“Fergus our 1 year old had a wonderful time at Kyle's. He played all day and was very comfortable there. We will definitely book again and build up some overnights.Its a great relief to have found a safe place and a caring dog lover to watch him.”
About: I am a life long dog lover with many years of experience taking care of dogs as well as fostering dogs in need! I believe boarding should feel less like a kennel and more like your dog is staying with family. That's why I keep my boarding groups small, so every dog gets plenty of individual attention, affection, playtime, and space to relax. Your dog becomes part of the household while they're here not just another dog on the schedule. Dogs are welcome to make themselves completely at home. They can curl up on the couch, nap on the bed, play with friends, or find a quiet place to relax when they've had enough excitement. And when they're ready for an adventure, there's plenty of that too! A typical stay can include walks, outdoor play, trips around town, dog park adventures when appropriate, and lots of one on one attention. My goal is simple, when you go on vacation, your dog gets a vacation too! Dog sitting is my full time focus, which means your dog isn't being squeezed into my schedule they're part of it! Being home and available throughout the day allows me to give each dog plenty of attention, playtime, outdoor breaks, walks, and, of course, plenty of time to relax and make themselves at home. When your dog stays with me, caring for them isn't something I do around my day, it's my day! 🐶❤️ Fewer dogs means more individual attention, easier supervision, more personalized care, and a calmer home environment. It also allows me to get to know each dog's personality and routine instead of treating every stay the same. Whether your dog wants to spend the afternoon playing with friends, following me around the house, exploring outside, or snoozing on the couch, I want them to feel comfortable being themselves.
“Hannah took very good care of my dog including interactive play and buying her new toys. Hannah was very responsive to my texts. Last but not least she is very personable and definitely shows her love for dogs. I have already rebooked for a few more days.”
“Luke was great with Ayden and Zeus. It was their first time being with another human, so had me a little worried but Luke was very responsive and took great care of them. They both came back happy :).”
About: Caring for four-legged creatures means doing for them what they can't do for themselves. As a dog owner and pet care-giver, my time is often shared between more than one furry friend and multiple care-giving tasks. Every pet is unique and may need different levels of care. Most pets love extra attention while others look forward to a structured walk. They look forward to finding food prepared for them and someone to notice their playful smile. If your furry friend is like me, they will want to go outside rain or shine :) My professional experience pet-sitting includes walking multiple dogs, preparing food, administering oral and topical medication, participating in playtime, allowing for potty time and settling in for the night. I love working with all types of dogs :)
About: I grew up with dogs in the house and have always enjoyed playing with them. There was once that my dog had puppies and I remember seeing her giving birth and my parents caring for them. Today, I can’t have a dog in the house, so I enjoy caring for people’s dogs. My schedule varies so I’m available part-time some week days (Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday) and some weekends. I have older kids who also love animals and may tag along with me when they’re available. At home I don’t have pets of my own except for fish, so your dog will have full attention. I can also crate your dog if needed and if you’d like that, otherwise I’m comfortable letting it roam.
About: I grew up in a dog-centric household, however I have taken care of my own dogs for the past 19 years. For the last 8 years, I've had the opportunity to foster dogs through different organizations, as well. It has been an extremely rewarding and educational experience with regards to learning about a multitude of different dogs and how best to deal with different dog personalities and what their mannerisms indicate. The foster dogs that I cared for ranged from puppies to senior dogs and included numerous different breeds. I've had dogs that were incredibly easy, as well as ones that were particularly difficult and high maintenance. These experiences have made me open to taking care of all types of dogs; I'm happy to help administer medicine, eye drops, insulin injections, etc. I've experienced it all! My schedule is flexible because I'm currently based from my home. This basically means that I'm available to provide care in whatever capacity needed beginning from late morning until the evening and any day Whenever a dog is my responsibility I make a point of giving them the care and attention that they require. I'm available to walk any pup beginning from late morning into the evening, including multiple times a day. I currently live in a house with 3 acres and a huge back yard with forest surrounding it, so it is not fenced. However, I'm more than happy to walk your dog if there's a fear that they will run into the forest. I'm also open to dog-sitting for anyone going on vacation! Our house is set up to accommodate dogs visiting and staying due to my previous fostering, which is how I came to have my two current dogs. Also, I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement to teach dogs acceptable behavior and manners, so no punishments that may traumatize or hurt the pup!
“Nicole was great with my dog Annie for our doggy day care trial run for a future Annie boarding. This is the first time that I've been away from my dog in quite some time and Nicole was equally great at easing my anxiety. Nicole has a natural presence around Annie and is solid in picking up her behavior and it was an overall nice and comfortable experience. Thank you!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and various other pets my whole adult life. I believe trust is the most important thing when it comes to leaving your pets with a sitter and I can assure you I will treat your pets like I would my own, with love and respect. Your dog will be staying in a family style boarding situation, where they get the love and attention from myself, my husband and our 2 children (7 and 10) who adore helping out with all the pups. We have a large fenced in back yard for lots of supervised running, playing and sniffing! I am trained in obedience training and can provide puppy socialization. Please reach out to me with any questions or to schedule a meeting! Boarding is always available. I am available weekdays after 8:30 am - 3:30 pm for walks, drop ins, puppy socialization or obedience training. I am fully available on the weekends for boarding, walking, drop-ins, puppy socialization and obedience training. I have 3 extremely friendly small dogs for your fur baby to play with or relax with. I strive to make the dogs that stay here comfortable and as stress free as possible.
“I dropped my dog off for a day of daycare. She got me in last minute and was great at communicating. My dog is usually nervous but seemed comfortable with Kayla. I look forward to working with her in the future.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. I owned two Miniature Pinschers growing up and I adopted one Australian Shepherd mix that has special needs as an adult. I trained all of my dogs from the time they were puppies until they passed away as seniors. I also volunteered at the Humane Society of Westchester. I've always enjoyed being around animals since I was young and animals tend to feel the same way about me. Animals who are usually timid around strangers are comfortable around me right away and they seem to trust me right away. I feel like connecting with animals (dogs specifically) is a gift that I have. Being a sitter is a great way for me to use that gift in everyday life. New clients get a free 2027 desk calendar that has photos of my clients and my dog as well (check my photos for a preview). I'm able to adapt to the normal routine of the pets that I'm sitting in order to make the process as smooth as possible. I don't have a lot of room in my studio apartment so I'm only able to watch either 1-2 small dogs or one medium sized dog. Large dogs are too big for my apartment. If I'm at a client's home, I'll change my schedule to meet the needs of the pet. I believe all animals are unique and all have different needs in order to thrive in the environment that they're in. I'm willing to meet those needs by building my schedule around the animals that I'm sitting.
About: I’ve taken care of so many dogs and cats over the years, at the vets office as a technician, in peoples homes and at my own house. I am comfortable administering medication and will care for your pet as my own ! I love animals and am passionate about caring for them . I have a flexible schedule so I can fit pet care into my routine. I am happy to do home visits multiple times a day. I have one very sweet little cavalier who gets along with other animals. I am also happy to come to your house as many times per day as needed.
“Very lucky to have found Laurie on here. She took excellent care of my 9 month old puppy Bella. I really appreciated the frequent photos and updates, they helped me feel at ease and confident that my pup was in great hands!”
“Highly recommend! My baby was well taken care of! Tinaclem was super friendly. When we arrived she introduced her dog with mine and brought them both to the back yard so she can get familiar with the yard and was very welcoming! Many walks and lots of pics for updates! ❤️My baby was pooped for days! She already misses Elvis! Sweet dog she has!”

“John (Cotter) was very communicative and wonderful with our dogs! Our pups are a very energetic (crazy) pair - they loved Cotter. Thank you for taking great care of them!”
“Anna has given care to our beloved dog on 2 occasions with 5 walks. She has provided him with exceptional attention and love. Our dog is 13+ years old and we are always sensitive about his health- we don't have to worry about that with Anna at his side. Is there any greater piece of mind than that?”

About: I've grown up with a variety of animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, and farm animals. Although I have little experience with pet sitting, I'm very comfortable with all kinds of dogs and cats. I'm currently working 2 part-time jobs as a barista, however I'm super flexible as my work schedule changes from week to week. Besides that I like to go to the gym and spend time with my chickens as much as I can. Around that I still have plenty of free time to start pet sitting. I love spending time and playing with pets, so a lot of what I would do is keep your pet company and engage with them as much as I can. With dogs I would play fetch outside if possible and with cats I would run them around with whatever toys they have. As well as, making sure the animals have enough food / water and keeping their home as clean as possible.

“Today was Lanie’s first time walking our pups. After our initial meet and greet yesterday, I felt very comfortable and confident that she provides thoughtful care of the pets she cares for. She accommodated a 30 minute shift in plans, and spent a good amount of time with the boys. They were both very calm and content when I got home. Thank you!”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I currently have two wonderful dogs of my own, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care. I provide patient, loving, and attentive care for every dog as if they were part of my own family. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy level, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. I believe communication is very important, so I’ll send regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind. My goal is simple: to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and confident throughout every stay. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I’ll make sure your dog receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I strive to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible and am happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. I take time to understand every dog’s personality and adjust my care to meet their individual needs. I keep a clean, calm environment, pay close attention during walks, and communicate regularly with updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

Since I offer only In-House Sitting, Drop-In Visits, and walk services, your pets will receive 1-on-1 attention without leaving the comfort of their familiar surroundings. My priority is maintaining their daily routine while keeping your home secure and your pets safe. With every visit, I will provide consistent photo updates and detailed reports after each drop-in/day! Flexible, personalized pet care (drop-ins & sitting): Regardless of whether it's a quick 30-minute stop-in for food, meds, play, and potty breaks, or an overnight stay, I adapt entirely to your pet’s individual needs and routine. I strive to keep homes tidy, secure, and maintained, reducing travel stress for everyone and helping pets feel their best! Outdoor Safety: During walks and outdoor breaks, safety is paramount- I practice attentive situational awareness and strive to maintain large distances from any off-leash dogs, as well as ensuring your pet is safely and securely harnessed/leashed. Overall Safety Precautions: From my rescue experience, animals are curious!- In this, I ensure all doors, gates, and deadbolts are latched securely during every entry and exit, double-check that food and medications are sealed out of reach, as well as keeping a watchful eye out for subtle changes in pet health or behavior. Home Maintenance/Overall Peace of Mind: During house sits and drop-ins, I am happy to bring in mail, water plants, keep your living spaces spotless, or help with any other tasks.
“Cam was absolutely the best! Dependable, friendly, punctual and very communicative...and he clearly loves dogs and they love him! We could not be more grateful for the great care he took of our 10 month old lab, especially during the hottest week of the summer! I'd give him 10 stars if I could!”
About: For the past three years, I’ve volunteered at a local animal shelter with my mother. I completed my senior internship there and now volunteer on my own. In my time at the shelter, I’ve gained lots of dog walking experience, especially with young puppies. I’m familiar with shelter training techniques and with cleaning and sanitation. I have two dogs of my own, one of which is a difficult walker. I know how most types of dog harnesses work. My internship involved spending time in the cat room, during which time I worked with cats of all temperaments. I don’t currently work in an official capacity and don’t play any sports, so I’m free pretty much all the time aside from my volunteer work. I’m going to college in September, so I’m not available for long term arrangements that go past summer. I’m used to animals with a wide range of play styles. I have a dog that loves to play fetch and go for swims, and I live near a large trail system, so I’m most familiar with those forms of enrichment. I have a minivan and can drive dogs to dog parks, trails, and fields.
About: Our business has been booming with referrals and friends/family requests. Since dogs bring so much joy to life, I am dedicating more time to open bookings to new pets. I am a dog lover for a lifetime. As a kid, I would care for strays. As an adult, I have had a dog in my life for the past 30 years- I have adopted 3 full grown, mature labs from various shelters and they all had a great, long life! My current Lab is our sitting “mascot” and she welcomes all dogs to our homestay center. She was an adoptee from an elderly couple. My young adult son & dog-lover is a great co-host to care for and play with your pet. Pets are like family here and they will be loved, cared for and respected. We will give play, attention, exercise, love and create a setting where your pet feels comfortable and not stressed. We should do a meet and greet with our dogs prior to first boarding. The yard here is fully fenced, but I only let dogs out in the yard with supervision. I will give walks/hikes, as you like. Your dog can sleep and hang-out in whatever area of the house is comfortable to him or her. If they prefer a crate, we can. If they prefer their own room, they can have my lower level finished room. If they like to mix it up with the family they can. We cater to your dog and help to diminish their stress and let them be themselves. If the pup is stressed and needs extra attention at night, they can sleep in the bedroom, ( sometimes on the bed, only if you allow that) . I have cared for multiple senior and special needs dogs, providing medication, and special care routines. We look forward to getting to know your loving pet and offering them a home away from home! Pet Care is a dominant share of our daily lives. Someone is here most of the day, so lots of interaction and attention is provided. If we run out , here or there ( as you would at home) each dog get’s their own space to hang-out. Dogs visiting from different families are only together, when supervised. My Home-Away-Vacay-Stay has a fully fenced yard with plenty of toys. Run of the house and cuddles with our family make your pup feel at home.
About: I grew up in a dog-centric household, however I have taken care of my own dogs for the past 19 years. For the last 8 years, I've had the opportunity to foster dogs through different organizations, as well. It has been an extremely rewarding and educational experience with regards to learning about a multitude of different dogs and how best to deal with different dog personalities and what their mannerisms indicate. The foster dogs that I cared for ranged from puppies to senior dogs and included numerous different breeds. I've had dogs that were incredibly easy, as well as ones that were particularly difficult and high maintenance. These experiences have made me open to taking care of all types of dogs; I'm happy to help administer medicine, eye drops, insulin injections, etc. I've experienced it all! My schedule is flexible because I'm currently based from my home. This basically means that I'm available to provide care in whatever capacity needed beginning from late morning until the evening and any day Whenever a dog is my responsibility I make a point of giving them the care and attention that they require. I'm available to walk any pup beginning from late morning into the evening, including multiple times a day. I currently live in a house with 3 acres and a huge back yard with forest surrounding it, so it is not fenced. However, I'm more than happy to walk your dog if there's a fear that they will run into the forest. I'm also open to dog-sitting for anyone going on vacation! Our house is set up to accommodate dogs visiting and staying due to my previous fostering, which is how I came to have my two current dogs. Also, I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement to teach dogs acceptable behavior and manners, so no punishments that may traumatize or hurt the pup!
About: Our pets are a very special part of our families. They each have their own quirks and personalities, and they all bring so much love and joy to our lives. I will meet your pet’s needs, and spend time with them in the way they like the most. I have been a dog walker and pet care provider for 17 years now, and I still love my job! Each pet that I meet makes me smile. I like to think that I am able to give some of the happiness these animals bring to me, back to them. Over my 17 years of being a pet care provider, I have had experience with dogs of all different breeds, sizes and ages -from puppies to seniors. I am fully insured. I am willing to work with your pup on basic training, or put them in my car, for a short drive to a favorite walking area. If you need me to feed your dog or cat, please let me know. I can also spend time playing or cuddling with your dog or cat. When I am not enjoying the company of pets, I am drawing or painting pet portraits for commissions. I look forward to meeting your special pet. I will give them the activity, affection, and attention that is right for them. I am dependable, professional and most of all, caring. You can count on me to take good care of your pet, and you can feel confident, knowing that your pet is in exceptional hands, when you are not able to take care of them yourself. I have been walking dogs and taking care of pets during the day for 17 years now, and I spend my evenings drawing and painting pets for commissions as a pet portrait artist. It’s all about the animals with me! I would love to come to your home and walk your dog in your neighborhood, or perhaps drive them to a close by favorite walking area. Some dogs have invisible fence collars, and need to be driven off the property, or they live on busy streets, that are not safe streets to walk on. I can drive them to a quiet side street or a park, if you prefer. You can request a feeding, if you would like, and I could do a quick scan of the house for any unexpected accidents, and clean them up for you. I can do drop-in visit (15 minutes), or a full 30 minute walk or play in the yard. More time can be requested, if necessary. For cat care, I can clean the litter boxes, feed your cat/refresh their water, and play or cuddle with them. I can also take a quick scan of the house for messes for them also.
“We are so grateful to have found Joseph. Our mini poodle is quite skittish around people other than family, and Joseph showed great patience and understanding with her, allowing her to get comfortable on her own timeline. Now when he arrives, our dog is thrilled to see him and comes home from walks happy and relaxed. We also appreciate Joseph's dependability and reliability; we trust him completely.”
About: My husband and I both always had at least two dogs growing up, and absolutely love them. Now we have three kids ages 9-14 who absolutely love them too. We don’t have any dogs of our own, and enjoy providing a fun, safe, loving home to our friends’ pups when they travel! I’m currently working a flexible part time job outside of the home and can work my schedule around dogsitting/dog walking so your pups will be well-cared-for! Our three kids are at school all day, so the dogs can have some quiet time, and the kids absolutely love coming home to play! I have a front hall to safely close pups in if we have to leave them alone for a little while, and a spacious yard to walk them in.

“Daisy lived her overnight stay with Saori. She came home happy and super relaxed. I loved getting photo updates throughout her stay. I knew Daisy was in good hands and it helped make my trip so much more enjoyable knowing she was safe and well cared for. I’ll be booking again soon.”
“Ryan was great with our dog, Sprint! He was very responsive and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day, which we really appreciated while we were away on vacation. Sprint got plenty of exercise and trips to the dog park every day. I also appreciated that Ryan was attentive and always followed up with questions if he needed clarification on anything related to Sprint’s care. We felt like Sprint was in great hands and would definitely use Ryan again!”
“Sue was great. Really patient and accommodating. My pup was returned to me happy and healthy. Her husband was also very nice and they both seemed very confident and comfortable with my pup who’s a 48lb pittie. Thank you Sue and Franky. We appreciated your care and attention to our fur baby. Sue also sent regular selfies of the pup and was quick to reply to messages.”
“Nicole and her family did a great job taking care of my pup. She sent photos and updates regularly, and my dog looked like he had a blast. He was very happy and tired after pickup 🐶”
“Kyle and Radha took great care of my rescue pup, Fiona while I was away for two nights! I was a little nervous to leave her for the first time since adopting her, but she came back tired and happy, which tells me that she had a great time! She really wasn’t even excited to see me when I picked her up lol ?, but that’s ok with me because it means she enjoyed herself. I loved knowing that Fiona had a great, safe fenced yard to romp around in and other dogs to play with while I was away. I would definitely book with Kyle again!”
“Rich was a joy to meet and to care for our 2 pups! We loved his daily puppy pics & videos. Our Lucy loved Rich & our big shy guy, Percy, who soon settled in, too. Great experience at the house of Rich and his two fur babies.”
“Radostina did a great job with our 5 year old and 5 month old pups. She has a fenced in yard and areas set up for playing and sleeping. She was so loving and sent lots of pictures. Through those pictures we could tell that our pups were loving their time with her and her family. Thank you Radostina!”

“First thing- Meghan was great! Finn states with her fior 4 nights and I couldn’t have asked for more out of a sitter. She communicated well with us during his stay and is overall a very kind, responsible sitter. I will (and I’m sure Finn) be looking forward to booking with her in the future!”
“I was very pleased with the care my dog received from Rachel. She sent multiple pictures & videos daily. He was well cared for & had a wonderful time as per the photos! He was taken on long hikes daily. I would feel very comfortable having Rachel watch him again and highly recommend her.”
