Graham and his wife were AMAZING!!! They were so gentle and loving to Brooklyn. They kept me updated on her stay and sent me several pics of her smiling. Brooklyn's stay was over the 4th of July weekend and they made sure to play loud music for her so she wasn't stressed out. I'm so sad that they are moving because Brooklyn had such a great time with them. They were even nice enough to give her a gift at the end of her stay with a toy, homemade treats and a thank you card. PHENOMENAL PEOPLE!!!!

Michelle and her husband, Wayne, are wonderful ! They have a lot of experience with many kinds of animals. Our mini-golden doodle is very happy playing with their Frenchie (Nani), and has made herself comfortable on Wayne’s lap more than once. M and W are attentive to the dogs’ needs and happy to accommodate us with our schedules and requests. We’ll continue to be repeat customers, whether for a few hours or several days (weeks?).

Chelsea and her boyfriend, Josh, really helped me out when I was in a tight spot. They are communicative, reliable, and were available on short notice. They took very good care of my dog and he came home happy and healthy. I think my dog really enjoyed playing with their two dogs. I would certainly use their services again.

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! I have experience with everything from horses and livestock, to birds, reptiles and fish. I am currently working very part time (3 hours a day) at a Kennel. I am usually always home by 11 am and am only away from home for a very short time. I have a large fenced yard, but will crate or kennel pets while unsupervised for a very short amount of time. I spend a majority of my time at home with my own pets and hanging out in the yard.

About: Hello, I have cared for dogs for 6 years and love them to death. I have a lot of energy for your dog or I can chill and pet him all day... whatever your baby wants I'm down! I am very flexible with my schedule due to my work. I work part-time so scheduling with me won't be a problem. If your furry babies have specific times I would be able to do so. I will take care of your pets like they are my own! I will make sure I have detailed instructions so your babies get the same care they would have in your hands. I love walking dogs or chilling with him with cuddle and pets. I am comfortable crating your pet or letting it roam based on your desires whenever I am not present with your pet. I am also knowledgeable in particular behaviors or needs such as anxiety, medication, and old age.

About: I grew up on a farm with dogs and cats and horses and birds. I love animals and have trained many dogs throughout my life. I have a big fenced in yard and my 14 year old dog just passed away, crushing my soul. Until I ever feel ok again to get another dog, I thought I could love someone else’s dog while helping them out! I work from home and only leave the house for errands here and there. I spend the majority of my life on my property working and tinkering around. I have a big fenced in yard and no other dog currently on property. I do have a cat wandering around. I can continue to crate train and love on them all day.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, small animals, and hoofed animals, and my experience extends far beyond pet ownership. I hold bachelor’s degrees in biology, psychology, and anthropology. My studies in animal behavior, physiology, and research help me better understand animal body language, behavior, and individual needs. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide variety of species, including exotic hoofstock and birds in a zoological setting, as well as pigs, goats, and birds through wildlife rescue and animal care work. I also volunteered in an animal shelter environment for approximately three years, where I handled and photographed thousands of dogs to help them find loving homes. Through that experience, I became comfortable working with dogs of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and energy levels. I have experience administering medications and genuinely enjoy caring for senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m also passionate about exercise and an active lifestyle and am happy to provide outdoor walks and enrichment for energetic pets. In addition to my animal background, I hold a master’s degree in counseling, which has strengthened my communication skills, patience, and ability to remain calm and attentive in a variety of situations. Whether your pet is outgoing, shy, energetic, or senior, my goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to their individual personality and routine so both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease. I’m a small business owner and public school teacher, which gives me a structured yet flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I generally have the most availability on weekends, school holidays, and breaks—especially during the summer months—when I can provide extended, consistent care and house sitting. During the school year, I’m typically available in the mornings and evenings on weekdays, with greater flexibility on weekends. I’m always happy to discuss specific dates and needs to see what works best for your pet’s routine. I value consistency, communication, and reliability so that pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and owners can enjoy peace of mind while they’re away. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where I focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine in the environment where they feel most comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure feeding, walks, medication, and daily routines are completed on time and as directed. I treat every home with a high level of respect and care, keeping spaces clean, organized, and exactly as I found them. I’m mindful of both the pet’s needs and the owner’s home, and I prioritize reliability, safety, and consistency in every visit or stay. I also believe clear communication is essential, so I provide updates as needed to give owners peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I've cared for my own pets, and for friends for many years, and also used professional petsitting sites. I don't currently have any pets of my own, so love to spend time with the furry ones and keep them company. I currently work remotely from home, so am often happy to stay close to your pets during the days and/or let them out on regular bathroom breaks. I am able to care for your pet in your own home, in a place they already know and trust and am happy to take care of any domestic needs.

About: An animal lover since I was a little girl, I’ve happily cared for many pets and animals in my life, including horses, dogs, cats, birds, fish, guinea pigs, even a snake! I adore all animals and think we can learn a lot from them, but I have a soft spot for our furry four legged friends. Over the years I’ve cared for many neighbors’, friend’s and family pets while they’ve been away, whether house sitting or inviting their pets into my cozy home for a little staycation. I don’t have any pets currently and am dearly missing the company, so I’d love to care for yours! I’m a very cuddly, attentive, reliable and playful pet owner who will shower your pet with love and care, and send many photos and updates. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, I’d be happy to chat and offer my time and care if you feel we may be a good match! I typically work full time Monday through Friday, with a few days working from home in between. Weekends are usually wide open, and I’d love to fill them with a furry friend! Fridays - Mondays are most flexible for me, but I’d love to play around with my schedule to suit your needs! I live in a residential, pet-friendly neighborhood that’s perfect for walks or runs. I have a yard but no fence, so will be extra careful when going outside. Lots of comfy rugs, pillows, and furniture inside for lounging :) happy to crate your dog if desired, or house sit if preferred. Very flexible!

About: Over the years I have owned and cared for various breeds of dogs which has thus created skills that I utilize during my car of your pet. My number one principal is to create a peaceful, loving environment for your animal while under my care. I am a very flexible sitter and I’m willing to accommodate to any requests you may have. Thank you for your consideration. All of my work is based out of my home office. I spend a lot of one on one time with my clients pets which I believe brings a much better experience for both me and your pet. Boarding services are my favorite services because I get to spend more one on one time with the animals. Doggy Daycare is my home daycare service, taking the clients out for most of the day, playing and relaxing instead of waiting alone for their owners to return home for the day. Drop Ins and Walks are services provided at the clients residence. I want all of my clients to feel loved and safe while in my care and I would like their owners to know they are in good hands.

About: I grew up caring for cats and dogs. I have an innate understanding of the behavior and needs of animals. I truly enjoy caring for animals; almost as much as they enjoy me : giving them all the attention they need, walks, hikes, and/or trail runs. I'm an elementary teacher and available after 3:00 during the weekdays I am available for over night stays any night of the week and free on weekends. I can care for your pet at your home, since I do not have a fenced in yard. I will follow the schedule and instructions for your animals.

About: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals, my love for pets is a lifelong devotion. I’ve shared my home and heart with dogs and cats throughout my life, and I’ve been a trusted pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience with animals of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments—including senior pets and those needing extra tenderness or special care. In addition to hands-on experience, I bring a calm, grounded presence and a deep sensitivity to the emotional needs of animals. I’m trained in energy healing and often incorporate gentle, calming energy into my care when appropriate—helping pets feel safe, seen, and loved while their humans are away. My approach is intuitive, attentive, and heart-centered. I treat each pet as the unique soul they are, and I feel truly honored to care for them. I work from home a lot and I have the freedom to be available and present full-time. I’m devoted to being with your pet providing all their needs. I prefer to provide care in the clients home but I can also bring your pet to my home. I have a big yard and a deck that is fenced. Pets will are welcome.

About: Hello, I have cared for dogs for 6 years and love them to death. I have a lot of energy for your dog or I can chill and pet him all day... whatever your baby wants I'm down! I am very flexible with my schedule due to my work. I work part-time so scheduling with me won't be a problem. If your furry babies have specific times I would be able to do so. I will take care of your pets like they are my own! I will make sure I have detailed instructions so your babies get the same care they would have in your hands. I love walking dogs or chilling with him with cuddle and pets. I am comfortable crating your pet or letting it roam based on your desires whenever I am not present with your pet. I am also knowledgeable in particular behaviors or needs such as anxiety, medication, and old age.

About: I was raised to cherish all dogs. Our 1st doberman Guinness lived past 18 years. I will do everything to make sure your dog is not only fed and hydrated, but happy, comfortable, mentally stimulated and loved. We walk almost a mile in the morning before breakfast. Dogs are separated while eating twice a day to make sure everyone is fed equally. Pets are treated like members of the family, welcome to enter and exit the house anytime to avoid weather use the outdoors. Large fenced yard with many shade trees provides more than enough area to nap or play.

About: All my life I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds, llamas, horses, zonkeys, emu’s, you name it. My mom owned an animal rescue farm my entire life, and was constantly bringing home animals in need of a loving home. We raised mostly Australian shepherds of every size and horses on our farm in West Virginia, as well as showing some of them for the sport of it. After moving out and on my own away from the farm life, I missed it more than ever and thought what better way to gain that feeling back than by helping others out by hanging out with their pets!? Needless to say, I have a lifetime of experience with animals which inspired me to begin pet sitting. It’s the safest way for me to get my "pet fix", otherwise I'd adopt every animal from the humane society 😅 I have three daughters, a 6 & 4 year old, and newborn, whom also share the same love for animals as we do. I swear it runs in our blood! I feel that it is important for them to learn responsibility and how to care/love for each and every animal they encounter in life as well, so I would love to surround them with pets of all kinds! I have pet sit for many friends here on island, including small short visits, bathing and walks. I am reliable and easy to get in touch with. I also don't mind doing some obedience training if needed too! I was practically raised around the methods of Cesar Millan because my mom was obsessed with his ways! I am comfortable with any age, breed, and or size animal, so if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out :) I'm a full-time stay-at-home-mom. The majority of our days involve going on walks, being outside, and staying active. My littles love animals so much, so I feel that caring for other pets would allow them to grow, learn, and also experience the joy of pet sitting and animals! We have a fully fenced in acre of land to provide ultimate safety for your fur babies! We are vigilant on making sure our doors are closed at all times due to our little ones as well, so safety is something we take pride in! Our house has an open floor plan and a large wrap around porch that has no outlets as well! So needless to say we have loads of room for roaming 🤭

About: I’ve dog walked and dog sat for over a year and on and off for about 5 years. I’ve always loved being around animals, I grew up in a dog family and have always enjoyed walking dogs playing with them or sitting on the couch and snuggling with dogs. They’re truly happiness and every dog I’ve ever met has always put a smile on my face. As of right now I currently work part time so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your dogs. Do any days of the week work I’m a trustworthy and reliable person and will prioritize spending time with your animals making sure they’re happy and safe.

Aaliyah was amazing with my pup! I had a last minute schedule change, and she came through and saved the day! We were able to book two walks with her and I know my puppy absolutely loved her because he looked so happy in the photos she so kindly sent over. I also appreciated the detailed summary of the walk in the Rover card, it put me at ease to know my puppy was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend her for your fur baby’s needs, and we will definitely be booking her again soon!

About: I grew up caring for cats and dogs. I have an innate understanding of the behavior and needs of animals. I truly enjoy caring for animals; almost as much as they enjoy me : giving them all the attention they need, walks, hikes, and/or trail runs. I'm an elementary teacher and available after 3:00 during the weekdays I am available for over night stays any night of the week and free on weekends. I can care for your pet at your home, since I do not have a fenced in yard. I will follow the schedule and instructions for your animals.

About: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals, my love for pets is a lifelong devotion. I’ve shared my home and heart with dogs and cats throughout my life, and I’ve been a trusted pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience with animals of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments—including senior pets and those needing extra tenderness or special care. In addition to hands-on experience, I bring a calm, grounded presence and a deep sensitivity to the emotional needs of animals. I’m trained in energy healing and often incorporate gentle, calming energy into my care when appropriate—helping pets feel safe, seen, and loved while their humans are away. My approach is intuitive, attentive, and heart-centered. I treat each pet as the unique soul they are, and I feel truly honored to care for them. I work from home a lot and I have the freedom to be available and present full-time. I’m devoted to being with your pet providing all their needs. I prefer to provide care in the clients home but I can also bring your pet to my home. I have a big yard and a deck that is fenced. Pets will are welcome.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, small animals, and hoofed animals, and my experience extends far beyond pet ownership. I hold bachelor’s degrees in biology, psychology, and anthropology. My studies in animal behavior, physiology, and research help me better understand animal body language, behavior, and individual needs. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide variety of species, including exotic hoofstock and birds in a zoological setting, as well as pigs, goats, and birds through wildlife rescue and animal care work. I also volunteered in an animal shelter environment for approximately three years, where I handled and photographed thousands of dogs to help them find loving homes. Through that experience, I became comfortable working with dogs of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and energy levels. I have experience administering medications and genuinely enjoy caring for senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m also passionate about exercise and an active lifestyle and am happy to provide outdoor walks and enrichment for energetic pets. In addition to my animal background, I hold a master’s degree in counseling, which has strengthened my communication skills, patience, and ability to remain calm and attentive in a variety of situations. Whether your pet is outgoing, shy, energetic, or senior, my goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to their individual personality and routine so both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease. I’m a small business owner and public school teacher, which gives me a structured yet flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I generally have the most availability on weekends, school holidays, and breaks—especially during the summer months—when I can provide extended, consistent care and house sitting. During the school year, I’m typically available in the mornings and evenings on weekdays, with greater flexibility on weekends. I’m always happy to discuss specific dates and needs to see what works best for your pet’s routine. I value consistency, communication, and reliability so that pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and owners can enjoy peace of mind while they’re away. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where I focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine in the environment where they feel most comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure feeding, walks, medication, and daily routines are completed on time and as directed. I treat every home with a high level of respect and care, keeping spaces clean, organized, and exactly as I found them. I’m mindful of both the pet’s needs and the owner’s home, and I prioritize reliability, safety, and consistency in every visit or stay. I also believe clear communication is essential, so I provide updates as needed to give owners peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I have had many special bonds with many kinds of animals & I’ve always given them the love & kindness ALL animals deserve. I love training puppies to become the best doggie they can be! When my Jude was a puppy, I used “tricks-for-treats” method using hand signals & now that Jude lost her hearing she knows her commands only by my hand signals! I have taken care of a handful of elderly dogs and cats whom I know felt very safe and loved my company so much. Whenever I’m with any animal I always feel like I’m making an impact in their life and I shine my light on their beautiful hearts every time. They are my world 🌎 ❤️❤️❤️ Currently, I am open available anytime, day or night, rain or shine! Even last minute I will be available. My doggie approved house is filled with dog beds of all sizes, and dog crates if that’s what they like, & hardwood floor for cooling off. My yard is fenced in and surrounded by a forest of trees. Plenty of play toys and green grass for sunbaths! This is my passion…… I eat, sleep, & take care for animals. I’m very grateful for any furry friend to come into my life. Even if it’s just for a day ❤️ When I’m not busy with pets, I am the voice for the voiceless...I am a very active animal rights activist, I am a member of the Dominion action movement, I am very very passionate about all animals. My dream is to have my own animal sanctuary where every animal will love their life free just as our pets do. I will also find homes for homeless/abused/abandoned animals. My house is dog approved. I have a lot of toys and doggy beds & In my breezeway I have a dog ramp for elderly or injured dogs to use to get into my house.

About: My name is Travis and I love cats, dogs and any animal for that matter. I have a small, laid back ChiPin (chihuahua/miniature pinscher) of my own and thought this to be the perfect opportunity to make some extra cash, socialize my pup (who Loves playing with other animals), stay active and help people who need to report to work or just have a beach day. I believe animals are one of the true joys of life and would love the opportunity to help you out and give my only child some play time and sniff action. Animals just want to play, eat and get loved. With my warm demeanor and strong work ethic, we would be companions to your companion while giving you a sense of security that your animal is taken care of while you take care of business.

About: An animal lover since I was a little girl, I’ve happily cared for many pets and animals in my life, including horses, dogs, cats, birds, fish, guinea pigs, even a snake! I adore all animals and think we can learn a lot from them, but I have a soft spot for our furry four legged friends. Over the years I’ve cared for many neighbors’, friend’s and family pets while they’ve been away, whether house sitting or inviting their pets into my cozy home for a little staycation. I don’t have any pets currently and am dearly missing the company, so I’d love to care for yours! I’m a very cuddly, attentive, reliable and playful pet owner who will shower your pet with love and care, and send many photos and updates. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, I’d be happy to chat and offer my time and care if you feel we may be a good match! I typically work full time Monday through Friday, with a few days working from home in between. Weekends are usually wide open, and I’d love to fill them with a furry friend! Fridays - Mondays are most flexible for me, but I’d love to play around with my schedule to suit your needs! I live in a residential, pet-friendly neighborhood that’s perfect for walks or runs. I have a yard but no fence, so will be extra careful when going outside. Lots of comfy rugs, pillows, and furniture inside for lounging :) happy to crate your dog if desired, or house sit if preferred. Very flexible!

Graham and his wife were AMAZING!!! They were so gentle and loving to Brooklyn. They kept me updated on her stay and sent me several pics of her smiling. Brooklyn's stay was over the 4th of July weekend and they made sure to play loud music for her so she wasn't stressed out. I'm so sad that they are moving because Brooklyn had such a great time with them. They were even nice enough to give her a gift at the end of her stay with a toy, homemade treats and a thank you card. PHENOMENAL PEOPLE!!!!

About: I grew up on a farm with dogs and cats and horses and birds. I love animals and have trained many dogs throughout my life. I have a big fenced in yard and my 14 year old dog just passed away, crushing my soul. Until I ever feel ok again to get another dog, I thought I could love someone else’s dog while helping them out! I work from home and only leave the house for errands here and there. I spend the majority of my life on my property working and tinkering around. I have a big fenced in yard and no other dog currently on property. I do have a cat wandering around. I can continue to crate train and love on them all day.
