Keandra went above and beyond to make sure my dog had a good time. She also was very flexible with pickup/drop off times which was helpful since I had a flight early in the morning. She also gave my dog a free shower and made sure he got plenty of exercise and play time with her dogs. 100% would recommend Keandra

Brian and Deb always take great care of Luna when we’re out of town. They’re our first choice and we’ll continue to book with them as long as they’ll have us! I’d highly recommend them. Luna loves their place, their back yard, and playing with the other dogs. It’s comforting to know she is well taken care of and nicely entertained while we’re away.

Lyn is amazing! We had never left our dog before, but from our first visit with her we felt at ease. She is very relaxed and organized. They have a very securely fenced in yard. And as a bonus she has a sweet but playful dog that helps keep your dog exercised and engaged the whole visit. She sent videos and pictures everyday of fun playtime and also sweet snuggles and nap time. We have already booked Lyn for our summer vacation!

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years through fostering, volunteering at animal rescues, and loving on pups of all kinds. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available for check-ins, walks, or just some company for your pet when you need it. I’d love to help keep your furry friend happy and cared for while you’re away! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to walk, feed, and check in on pets throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible to keep their pet comfortable and stress-free. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also make sure to keep the space clean and always send updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I am a teacher and have summers off! Let me and my sweet daughter help take care of your pet this summer. We are too busy during the school year to justify having our own pet, so let us spoil yours! I have lots of availability this summer- let's work something out! Just reach out and we can get something on the calendar- whether you need over night care or your furry friend needs a walk. We have a partially fenced in yard. We live close to the trial, so we will go on many walks. We have a leash outside as well as room to crate inside.

Kiera is amazing. I have never had to leave my dogs with anyone but friends and family before and was very worried. I have a large Great Dane and a Boston terrier mix. She wasn't afraid to have my Dane at all which was a problem I was having with finding a boarder for them. While they only stayed 2 days, it was 2 days where I wasn’t worried because she sent constant photos and videos. My Dane is my service dog, so I was extra cautious leaving him with someone I didn’t know but the moment I met her I knew they would both be safe. If I am ever in the area again I know I will be using her again!

Also, I will periodically check on them through the day while I sleep. I have a fully fenced in backyard with a 6ft privacy fence. I always go outside with the dogs to make sure they are behaving and not doing anything to get themselves hurt

About: Hello, I have many years of experience caring for animals including, but not limited to, dogs (5 lbs to 200 lbs), cats, fish, reptiles, rodents, and birds. I have lots of experience taking care of special needs and a few of mine are special needs as well. Your animal need extra care? I’m your girl! I work at a local dog training facility so my schedule is pretty flexible and I can provide your pet with the care and love they deserve! I will take the dog(s) on 1-2 walks a day, if weather permits, as well as a little activity throughout the day. If I have other dogs who are similar socially, they will get play time with other dog(s). This depends on if the dog is social and has similar play styles to another dog. I will not put any dogs who would not get along together.

I'm a cat mom through and through, and I know how crucial it is to have someone you can trust caring for your fur babies on days you can't. I'd be honored to meet your little love(s) and learn how to care for them like you do. I'm happy to stop by once or twice a day to feed, brush, play, cuddle - whatever they're used to - so you can focus on your time away.

Now I no longer have any inside, but I do still make it a point to visit with the barn cats very regularly, and help take care of them as well. We actually just had a cat that had kittens just recently! So while I love my bigger pets, I also care for the littles just as much.

For stays longer than 5 days, most I have done is a month and a half as of present, you will return to a clean home 😊 I am strong and able to keep my stability while walking dogs, am able to let them out, feed them, give baths, and offer other services for the home like my interior design skills which is another side business, that can be spoken about, if interested.

About: I was always the go to person for pet sitting in my family. Growing up, we always had at least one dog in the house. And I was fortunate enough to have had one for 16 years. Her name was Bear. She was the best family dog anyone could ask for and I miss her very much. She is the reason I love taking care of animals so much. Recently, I have become very fond of cats and live with 2 of them. They have stolen my heart and take care of them every day. I also have two reptiles which are my whole world. No matter what animal, I would love to take care of them. I’m the sitter for you! I am in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is very flexible right now. I am very open and honest so I’m very willing to for the schedule that’s best for you and your pet! I am not offering services in my home. As much as I would love to, I rent and cannot have a lot of animals staying with me. I’m sorry for the inconvenience!

About: Hi I’m Reise!! I am experienced with caring for cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, and hamsters. I have rescued quite a few furry friends over the years and found them amazing FUR-EVER homes! ❤️ I’m not looking to foster at this time but wouldn’t mind boarding a dog or two here and there while their people are on vacation or work trips! I could also do house visits as well as walking. I’m really down for anything and love animals. I have 2 dogs right now but I love animals so much it’s my passion to make a small difference and find animals close to home to work with and take on walks while their owner may be busy. I’m a stay at home mom, so when I say I have the free time I really mean it and would love to help. I hope you choose me to care for your pet, I really look forward to talking with and meeting you. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!!! :) I am free all the time!!! I’m a stay at home mom. Sundays we usually have family time for a few hours and like to have breakfast all together.. other than that I am free! :) My dogs have a fenced in yard and run to ensure their safety while playing outside. It’s not that I feel my dogs are unsafe, but you never know how someone else’s dog walking by might react when there are dogs outside already. I use StarMark collars on my dogs, these collars guarantee that they won’t and can’t really slip away, these collars are great especially if your dog pulls, my dog used to pull a lot and I was able to get him to do great while walking. I love being able to work with dogs 1 on 1 at first so they can get learn to trust me and feel safe!! Both of my dogs are extremely friendly. Bear is the most gentle giant and Daisy is just the sweetest girl ever. I would love to get to know you & your animals.

About: I've taken care of animals my whole life. I do not remember a day in my life that I didn't have a dog! I have dogs of my own and I also take care of families dogs, friends dogs along with boarding other peoples dogs, and I also foster dogs. I have experience giving dogs baths, taking them for walks, playing with them, cuddles, calming them down and taking them on car rides. I currently stay at home and run a farm. I am pretty flexible with my schedule for all services provided. I can do short term care or long term care. I do ask that if you have to cancel please give me plenty of notice. I have a fenced in dog run right off a deck that the dogs sunbathe on. I live in the country on 4 acres so we have plenty of space for walks and runs. I have 4 dogs of my own, cats, and chickens. I'm currently a stay at home Mom. So I will have plenty of time to play with your pups. I also have plenty of time to board on the weekend! We take walks down country roads. I live on 4 acres so we have plenty of room to play and run on a long leash!

Peggy is exactly the person you want taking care of your pets. She is patient, relaxed, and full of love! She has a dog of her own, Peanut, and offers to do an introduction before your booking to make sure all animals are comfortable. My days are somewhat unpredictable and Peggy was always accommodating and patient with my schedule. Maple would rush to her door each day in anticipation. We feel so lucky that Maple has been under such great care for the past 2 weeks!!

About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. As a child, I had pet sheep, rabbits, dogs, cats, and cows. As an adult, I have always had cats. My 20 year old long hair cat just passed away in January. It was heartbreaking. I miss him dearly. We loved our guy so much. In his last 5 yrs, I spent many hours catering to his elderly issues. Medications and night yowling were issues that I happily took care of as he lived out his twilight years. I have a soft spot for all animals as they go through all stages of life :) I work from home and set my own hours, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am open to many kinds of arrangements- one time sitting, a weekly routine, daily walks, weekends, etc. I am extremely fortunate to have a flexible schedule. My teen daughter and I live in a large 4 bedroom home, so we have tons of space to accommodate furry friends who need company. We do not have a fenced in yard, but our neighborhood is great for long walks. Our neighborhood has trails through the woods and a home owner’s association that maintains the trails. We have lots of fun walking the trails. I am an avid jogger/walker. I go out everyday, regardless of the weather. I have a very active lifestyle! We recently adopted a cat, but he stays in his own area on a different level of the house. He has claimed my daughter as his and lives in her room. When dogs come to stay with us, he typically stays in his room & pups never see him, although he has made friends with some of our regularly visiting pups 😊 I have a very flexible work schedule. When I do have to be away from home for work, I am gone about 2-3 hrs at a time. My daughter is at home often and also helps with pups. She is great with animals! We both like to take frequent walks throughout the day! In my home, I have a large open floor plan with tons of windows. During the day, I like to have pups next to me in my office, but some like to lay in prime viewing area of all the windows.

About: I would love the opportunity to have your furry friends come visit me. I am there when you can't be! I am a long time Dog loving home. I have adopted 6 dogs and believe they should all be loved like your own. I have been a Foster parent as well for Wishbone Canine Rescue, so have had experience with dogs coming and going and needing a place to lay their paws. I have 2 dogs and a cat that are welcoming to your pets needs and they love company. My home is dog friendly in that they have full access to the house and furniture and beds as well as 2 dog doors to go out into the dog run or fenced in yard as they please. I do also have dog crates as well as a indoor walk in dog kennel if needed to use. I work from home and available for your pets needs as they need them. I have the ability to attend to the dogs needs 24/7 unless otherwise discussed. I have detailed below what are the definitions we use for our services. BOARDING: Your dog comes to stay with me at my house from your drop off time till your pick up time scheduled by you. This is a overnight stay so please bring all items and food for your pets to make them feel comfortable during their stay with us. Disclaimer: I strive to provide a safe environment for all dogs that stay with us. In order to do so I require proof of vaccination upon the initial meet & greet. That needs to include: Rabies Distemper Bordetella All dogs must be spayed/neutered. Also when booked and dropped off I will recommend you leave me with a back up person to contact in the event that any problems arise during the stay and you are out of town. DROP IN VISITS: I come to your house to visit with your dog. What is done is dependent upon what you set up and what you need. This could be just checking in to play, go on walk, feed, or let out to potty. This will all be determined upon what you need. Note- This doesn't include overnight stay in your house. Note- Two methods of entry are required to prevent lock-outs. DOG MEET AND GREETS: I require dog introductions be done ahead of time for first visits with me that entail staying at my house with me as I know dogs will be dogs. I will make a time that works for both of us to come to my home and have play date and see how it goes. I will also come to your house for a meet and greet if you schedule drop in visits, walks, etc. To allow for proper introductions and to make sure it is a good fit. About my pets- All of my dogs and cats are fully vaccinated and on heartworm medication and flea and tick. Proof of my dogs vaccinations available if requested. Pet Health and Vaccinations: - All pets must be up to date on vaccinations and in good health. - Please provide proof of rabies vaccination upon initial meet and greet. - If your pet shows signs of illness or injury, I will notify you and seek veterinary care if necessary. Any associated expenses will be your responsibility. Emergency Situations: - In case of an emergency involving your pet, I will make every effort to contact you immediately. - If I am unable to reach you, I am authorized to seek veterinary care as deemed necessary by a professional. - You will be responsible for any expenses related to emergency veterinary care not covered by Rover.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, and naturally when I was old enough to start working with them I did. From the age of 10 I volunteered with the animal clinics; walking dogs, cleaning up after them, medicating them, feeding them, bathing them, even sometimes having to help restrain them. I started learning how to work with dogs from a young age and when I was 15 I started working as a kennel assistant/worker at a veterinary hospital where I eventually gained more responsibilities and experience in the veterinary field and became a vet tech through experience. Even though I work a full time job M-W, I work from home. I am also a stay-at-home-mom, so I am almost always home. When I am not actively interacting with my dogs I like to give them enrichment toys. If were outside we go out for an hour or so every 2-3 hours. If I know it's a stay in the house kind of day we feed through games. I love taking my girls for "adventures" every chance we get for socialization, even if that means we just go sit at the ball park and sit and watch. I have an unfunded yard, however I have 3 tie outs and a large outdoor dog pen. I have a small house, but I have an attached single car garage that has been converted into an extra room for the dogs. I have 2 friendly dogs that will be able to keep your fur baby company.

About: I make sure to do all the activities that your pup likes to do to keep them occupied. I feel leaving them. Home is better for their mental state than dropping them off somewhere where they don’t know where they are. Lots of loving and all of my attention goes to the babies while I’m there. I currently do not work and my schedule can be made mostly around the needs of the employer. My son is at school 8-3 but he would be willing to help with animals also. We have a fenced in yard but also go for walks. I have no problem with walking multiple times a day or whatever other needs the pet has.

About: My pet care experience consists of having a dog throughout my childhood and adult years. I've always loved the companionship of owning a dog and also visiting or babysitting families and friends' dogs/cats. With having a dog comes a lot of responsibility and attention whether that's feeding, letting outside, physical activity, and training. I'm experienced in all of those qualities. The pet care that I will be using through the new dogs and cats I meet are the basics of giving treats, going for walks, and playing fetch or ball. Those basics are important and useful for dog caregivers because any dog would love the attention and care that you are giving them unconditionally. I'm also experienced in grooming with bathing the pet if needed. Whether that's outside with a hose and soap or inside in a bathtub. Dogs are my best friends and should be treated with love and companionship therefore I would treat the dog and make sure they are happy and comfortable but also safe and calm at all times. My schedule is very flexible and in the case of babysitting or walking a dog, I will be attentive and responsible. Since I currently have a dog at home I take her outside frequently, stay outside with her and walk around the backyard or throw a toy and play fetch or even just sit in the grass and give her belly rubs. My daily routine consists of letting my dog outside and hanging out with her off and on while also letting her have time to rest and chill by herself. My weekly routine is the same as my daily routine aside from additional car rides, pup cups, or cousin visits with other dogs. The safety, trust & Environment of the care for the pet in my home and or my client's home will consist of making sure all doors are shut when entering and exiting the home or garage. Also making sure the dog is on a leash and well equipped when walking through a neighborhood. I also have a fenced-in yard so I'm experienced with fences and the proper precautions if needed. I can easily create your dog too if needed. Also water supply and refilling the water bowl as needed and giving supplements or medicine also. Also will have the clients contact information in case of emergency.

About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. As a child, I had pet sheep, rabbits, dogs, cats, and cows. As an adult, I have always had cats. My 20 year old long hair cat just passed away in January. It was heartbreaking. I miss him dearly. We loved our guy so much. In his last 5 yrs, I spent many hours catering to his elderly issues. Medications and night yowling were issues that I happily took care of as he lived out his twilight years. I have a soft spot for all animals as they go through all stages of life :) I work from home and set my own hours, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am open to many kinds of arrangements- one time sitting, a weekly routine, daily walks, weekends, etc. I am extremely fortunate to have a flexible schedule. My teen daughter and I live in a large 4 bedroom home, so we have tons of space to accommodate furry friends who need company. We do not have a fenced in yard, but our neighborhood is great for long walks. Our neighborhood has trails through the woods and a home owner’s association that maintains the trails. We have lots of fun walking the trails. I am an avid jogger/walker. I go out everyday, regardless of the weather. I have a very active lifestyle! We recently adopted a cat, but he stays in his own area on a different level of the house. He has claimed my daughter as his and lives in her room. When dogs come to stay with us, he typically stays in his room & pups never see him, although he has made friends with some of our regularly visiting pups 😊 I have a very flexible work schedule. When I do have to be away from home for work, I am gone about 2-3 hrs at a time. My daughter is at home often and also helps with pups. She is great with animals! We both like to take frequent walks throughout the day! In my home, I have a large open floor plan with tons of windows. During the day, I like to have pups next to me in my office, but some like to lay in prime viewing area of all the windows.

About: Hi I’m Reise!! I am experienced with caring for cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, and hamsters. I have rescued quite a few furry friends over the years and found them amazing FUR-EVER homes! ❤️ I’m not looking to foster at this time but wouldn’t mind boarding a dog or two here and there while their people are on vacation or work trips! I could also do house visits as well as walking. I’m really down for anything and love animals. I have 2 dogs right now but I love animals so much it’s my passion to make a small difference and find animals close to home to work with and take on walks while their owner may be busy. I’m a stay at home mom, so when I say I have the free time I really mean it and would love to help. I hope you choose me to care for your pet, I really look forward to talking with and meeting you. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!!! :) I am free all the time!!! I’m a stay at home mom. Sundays we usually have family time for a few hours and like to have breakfast all together.. other than that I am free! :) My dogs have a fenced in yard and run to ensure their safety while playing outside. It’s not that I feel my dogs are unsafe, but you never know how someone else’s dog walking by might react when there are dogs outside already. I use StarMark collars on my dogs, these collars guarantee that they won’t and can’t really slip away, these collars are great especially if your dog pulls, my dog used to pull a lot and I was able to get him to do great while walking. I love being able to work with dogs 1 on 1 at first so they can get learn to trust me and feel safe!! Both of my dogs are extremely friendly. Bear is the most gentle giant and Daisy is just the sweetest girl ever. I would love to get to know you & your animals.

Brian and Deb always take great care of Luna when we’re out of town. They’re our first choice and we’ll continue to book with them as long as they’ll have us! I’d highly recommend them.

About: I am a teacher and have summers off! Let me and my sweet daughter help take care of your pet this summer. We are too busy during the school year to justify having our own pet, so let us spoil yours! I have lots of availability this summer- let's work something out! Just reach out and we can get something on the calendar- whether you need over night care or your furry friend needs a walk. We have a partially fenced in yard. We live close to the trial, so we will go on many walks. We have a leash outside as well as room to crate inside.

I boarded my kitten with Julie for a week and kitty had a wonderful time! I would not hesitate to recommend Julie. She is super responsive and just wonderful to deal with.

About: My name is Carson, I am 22 years old and own a house with a 6ft privacy fence in the backyard. I have worked in rescue and fostering since I was 14 years old. I have worked with newborn puppies to senior dogs. I absolutely love dogs and love getting to meet new ones. I have experience with almost every breed there is. I have two beautiful adopted dogs. Kÿro who is a 2 year old neutered Saint Bernard and Sage who is a 3 year old spayed Lab/Pit mix. They are both extremely dog friendly and would love to meet your dog(s). I gladly look forward to meeting you and your dog! Sage would love to meet you too! I work overnights for 4 days a week and will check on them halfway through my shift during my lunch to make sure they are doing well. Also, I will periodically check on them through the day while I sleep. I have a fully fenced in backyard with a 6ft privacy fence. I always go outside with the dogs to make sure they are behaving and not doing anything to get themselves hurt

About: Hello, I have many years of experience caring for animals including, but not limited to, dogs (5 lbs to 200 lbs), cats, fish, reptiles, rodents, and birds. I have lots of experience taking care of special needs and a few of mine are special needs as well. Your animal need extra care? I’m your girl! I work at a local dog training facility so my schedule is pretty flexible and I can provide your pet with the care and love they deserve! I will take the dog(s) on 1-2 walks a day, if weather permits, as well as a little activity throughout the day. If I have other dogs who are similar socially, they will get play time with other dog(s). This depends on if the dog is social and has similar play styles to another dog. I will not put any dogs who would not get along together.

About: I've taken care of and have adopted dogs since I was 10 years old! I have also trained dogs, boarded, and even did grooming for awhile. I am currently going to college so I am home all day long. I have plenty of time through out the day to let dogs out, play with them, and give them a bath! I have a huge house, a huge yard, 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own. All animals in my care are treated the same way I treat my own animals. My animals are my children.

Taressa was wonderful. I was very nervous to leave my dog with someone for the first time, but Taressa reassured me by sending me tons of pictures of her throughout her stay. I would definitely use Taressa again if I was ever in need.

Nicolea was very nice and friendly. I could tell she has a true passion for caring for animals. She sent updates and pictures of my dog during his stay. I was able to see his play area and there was plenty of space for him. He came home happy and playful. I would definitely use her again.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, and naturally when I was old enough to start working with them I did. From the age of 10 I volunteered with the animal clinics; walking dogs, cleaning up after them, medicating them, feeding them, bathing them, even sometimes having to help restrain them. I started learning how to work with dogs from a young age and when I was 15 I started working as a kennel assistant/worker at a veterinary hospital where I eventually gained more responsibilities and experience in the veterinary field and became a vet tech through experience. Even though I work a full time job M-W, I work from home. I am also a stay-at-home-mom, so I am almost always home. When I am not actively interacting with my dogs I like to give them enrichment toys. If were outside we go out for an hour or so every 2-3 hours. If I know it's a stay in the house kind of day we feed through games. I love taking my girls for "adventures" every chance we get for socialization, even if that means we just go sit at the ball park and sit and watch. I have an unfunded yard, however I have 3 tie outs and a large outdoor dog pen. I have a small house, but I have an attached single car garage that has been converted into an extra room for the dogs. I have 2 friendly dogs that will be able to keep your fur baby company.

About: Hi! My name is Kendall, and I’m a Health & Exercise Science student at Syracuse University on the pre-Physical Therapy track. I have over 6 years of experience caring for my own dog and have always been the person friends and family trust to help with their pets. I genuinely love animals and volunteer at the Humane Society, where I spend time caring for and interacting with dogs of all ages and personalities. My experience working in healthcare has made me dependable, patient, attentive, and compassionate. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or extra attention while you’re away, I will treat them like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine and is something I prioritize. I work PRN at a nursing home, which means I create my own schedule and have a great deal of flexibility. Because of this, I am able to schedule my work hours around pet care needs rather than the other way around. Whether your pet needs morning walks, midday check-ins, evening care, or overnight attention, I can provide consistent and reliable care throughout the week. I am responsive, dependable, and committed to making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while their owners are away. I care for pets in a separate residence where they can enjoy a calm, comfortable environment and plenty of one-on-one attention. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, so I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure every pet feels loved and at home while you’re away.
