I wouldn’t want to trust anyone else with Ody after seeing how much love she showed him! He was very spoiled with Jessica! Thank you very much!”
“Kandace was AWESOME!!! My dog is literally the definition of “only dog syndrome”. She took her time introducing Mamas to her fur babies. She kept in touch with pictures and responded quickly when I reached out to her. I could tell she felt safe, loved, and enjoyed being around other dogs!!!!”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Jennifer, she took such amazing care of my puppy while I was on vacation, and I had total peace of mind knowing my little one was in such loving and capable hands. I received regular updates, photos, and sweet notes about how my pup was doing, which really put me at ease. When I came home, my puppy was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. It's obvious Jennifer treats pets like their own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring sitter! I’ll be a repeat customer in the future for sure!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs basicly all my life. I currently have an Australian Shepherd that is five years old. He is good with other dogs. He has separation anxiety, so I know how to take care of that as well. I work full-time at the University. I go on daily walks with my own dogs. I’m pretty free after work. You’re dog will feel at home:) I have a fenced in yard and I live in a house, so I have plenty of space for your pet. I also make sure that they get plenty of exercise.

“We love Leslie! She was very accommodating and took great care of our sweet pup. He has some anxiety when meeting new people, and he seemed to take to her right away.

I would recommend Marquia to anyone and will definitely book with her again!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Maria! She took incredible care of my puppy while I was on vacation, and I felt completely at ease the entire time. She sent regular updates, adorable photos, and kept me in the loop without me even having to ask. It was clear my pup was happy, well-loved, and in great hands. Coming home to a relaxed and content dog said it all. Maria was reliable, professional, and truly went above and beyond. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, she’s the one!”

About: I have cared for many animals in my life from newborn puppies, to seniors dogs with 27 allergies. I've potty trained pets, taught them to sit, and obey, and have taught many tricks. I love animals with all of my heart and would love to care for more. I am currently working for myself, running my own business, so I set my own schedule. Business is a little slow right now so I have time and the desire to care for as many pets as I can! I have a a half acre of fenced in back yard, and 2 very friendly dogs. We often go outside and throw balls and play fetch. They are on a very specific eating schedule. I feel that my animals are very happy and very well taken care of.

“Maria, provided excellent care to my dog in daycare. She sent photos through out the day and my dog looked very happy and comfortable. She was flexible with me and kind as well. I would ask Maria to watch my dog again.”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the kindness and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I truly understand that every dog is unique, whether they’re a bouncy puppy learning the ropes, a senior dog needing gentle care, or a shy pet who just needs a little extra love to feel safe. I approach every pet with compassion, making sure they feel at ease and cherished in my care. From creating a nurturing routine to sending heartfelt updates to owners, I treat every furry friend like they’re part of my own family. Their happiness and comfort are always my top priorities. Lo que me distingue como cuidadora de mascotas es la amabilidad y la paciencia que le brindo a cada mascota que cuido. Entiendo verdaderamente que cada perro es único, ya sea un cachorro saltarín que está aprendiendo a comportarse, un perro mayor que necesita cuidados suaves o una mascota tímida que solo necesita un poco más de amor para sentirse segura. Trato a cada mascota con compasión, asegurándome de que se sienta a gusto y querida bajo mi cuidado. Desde crear una rutina de cuidado hasta enviar actualizaciones sinceras a los dueños, trato a cada amigo peludo como si fuera parte de mi propia familia. Su felicidad y comodidad son siempre mis principales prioridades. 🐶🐱❤️ Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I make sure to set aside dedicated time to care for pets, whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddles. Each day starts with planning to ensure pets have everything they need, from meals and playtime to exercise and companionship. I adapt my schedule to fit the specific needs of each pet, whether that means flexible times for potty breaks, feeding, or quiet time for older dogs. On a weekly basis, I create a routine that maintains a pet’s consistency and comfort while making sure to have time for new activities and learning opportunities for puppies or energetic dogs. Pet care isn’t just a job—it’s a fulfilling part of my day that brings me joy and allows me to build strong bonds with each animal I look after. El cuidado de mascotas es una parte integral de mi rutina diaria y semanal. Me aseguro de reservar un tiempo específico para cuidar de las mascotas, ya sea con paseos matutinos, sesiones de juego al mediodía o abrazos por la noche. Cada día comienza con una planificación para asegurarme de que las mascotas tengan todo lo que necesitan, desde comidas y tiempo de juego hasta ejercicio y compañía. Adapto mi horario para satisfacer las necesidades específicas de cada mascota, ya sea con horarios flexibles para ir al baño, alimentarlas o momentos de tranquilidad para los perros mayores. Cada semana, creo una rutina que mantiene la consistencia y la comodidad de la mascota, al mismo tiempo que me aseguro de tener tiempo para nuevas actividades y oportunidades de aprendizaje para los cachorros o los perros enérgicos. El cuidado de mascotas no es solo un trabajo, es una parte gratificante de mi día que me brinda alegría y me permite construir vínculos fuertes con cada animal que cuido. When caring for pets at a client’s home, I make their safety and comfort my top priorities. I start by getting familiar with their daily routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special needs or preferences. I ensure the home is secure by checking for potential hazards and making sure doors and gates are properly closed. During walks or play sessions, I stay attentive to keep them safe from traffic, other animals, or any unexpected situations. I provide interactive play, walks, and plenty of affection to keep pets engaged and happy. If any special care is needed, like administering medication or following a specific diet, I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions exactly. Building trust with both the pet and their owner is important, so I keep communication open with regular updates and photos. My goal is to create a comforting environment where pets feel at ease and loved, allowing their owners to feel confident and relaxed while they’re away. Cuando cuido mascotas en la casa de un cliente, hago de su seguridad y comodidad mis principales prioridades. Empiezo por familiarizarme con su rutina diaria, incluidos los horarios de alimentación, las pausas para ir al baño y cualquier necesidad o preferencia especial. Me aseguro de que la casa sea segura comprobando si hay peligros potenciales y asegurándome de que las puertas y portones estén bien cerrados. Durante los paseos o las sesiones de juego, me mantengo atenta para mantenerlos a salvo del tráfico, otros animales o cualquier situación inesperada. Ofrezco juegos interactivos, paseos y mucho cariño para mantener a las mascotas ocupadas y felices. Si se necesita algún cuidado especial, como administrar medicamentos o seguir una dieta específica, me aseguro de seguir exactamente las instrucciones del dueño. Generar confianza tanto con la mascota como con su dueño es importante, por lo que mantengo la comunicación abierta con actualizaciones y fotos periódicas. Mi objetivo es crear un entorno reconfortante donde las mascotas se sientan a gusto y amadas, lo que permite que sus dueños se sientan seguros y relajados mientras están fuera.🐾

“Bree and Strider were very well cared for by Kandace! Strider was anxious at being in a new environment and she was very kind and caring towards him. Her securely fenced yard was just what Bree likes. She enjoyed hunting birds and sniffing every inch of the property. Strider had a good run with his new friends. Kandace gave me a detailed report of their day when I came to pick them up. I appreciate that she understands that she is caring for my most important loved ones.”
About: I grew up on a farm raising all sorts of livestock and pets, and then joined the army. Later, I studied pre-vet and received my fear free pets certification, showing my training with animals with anxiety as well. I live and breathe for my pets, plants, and family. We wake up and immediately my animals get fed and Maggie (dog) let outside, then we proceed with our day! Always will be at least one hour of outdoor play time a day, not including potty breaks. I will be able to host your pet in a separate area of my home if need be. I am fear free pet certified and have had a diabetic dog, therefore I know how to administer insulin/shots. I can also provide an area no other animals will be around if needed, Along with pheromone diffusers to calm your pet under anxiety.
About: My approach to pet care is rooted in patience, genuine love, and treating every dog as a valued member of the family. With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs and puppies, I deeply understand that pets require more than just basic needs. They thrive on love, reliable structure, and a comfortable place to stay while you are away. My goal is simple: to give pet parents complete peace of mind during vacations or work trips, knowing their animal is in safe and genuinely loving hands. I am excited to shower your beloved companion with care and make a new connection. I am a stay at home mom so I would be able to adjust to almost any schedule. I would be able to give one on one care to your special pup! I would love your dog to be able to make a comfortable living space. We have a small fenced in yard to play and potty breaks, but I am very comfortable with leash walking for bathroom breaks and exercise. We are able to use a crate if needed for night time, I also don’t mind a dog sleeping on our couch for added comfort if that’s what the dog is comfortable with. I truly want it to be a specialized and adjustable experience to whatever the fur baby needs.

About: I have taken care of pet’s since I was a kid from family pet’s to friends to walking neighbors dogs. Whether your pup is wanting to take a nap on its bed, or chase squirrels in the back yard or take a stroll around the block I’m here to accommodate his/her needs. I work from home majority of the time, the most I’m out of the house is 4 hours consecutively. When I am away and at night I lock the pet’s in their own crate ( unless they have a “thunder-buddy”) to ensure their safety so no accidents happen. Your pet’s health and safety is my top concern. I have a child in home so his safety is also my concern. I know new places and people can give some pup/s anxiety and not all dogs do well with kids. If your doggo is anxious around kids please let me know so that way I can ensure my families safety while also accommodating and ensuring your pet is at ease while in my care. I have a fenced back yard for your pet to get adequate outside time, If your pet likes walks I am happy to take them for a stroll around the block, I am firm on sticking to your pet’s feeding times and will accommodate that to my best ability.

“I was able to meet Roy before my fur baby's extended stay and do a meet and greet. Roy is very professional and friendly. Even though Cavi is not crate trained and a bit much, Roy was able to put my fears at ease knowing that my fur baby would be taking care of. Definitely recommend Roy.”
“Jessica has taken care of my 2 dogs for day care a few times and I will continue to reach out to her for services as I know she is sweet and patient with them, especially my more mischievous pup who I know can be a handful at times. She is awesome & reliable and we truly appreciate her!”
“Once again so pleased with Leslies care for our pups! My wife went into labor early this week and Leslie had our pups for the day on fairly short notice! They always come home nice and tuckered out! 10/10 recommend!”
“Kelcey is awesome! Both my cat, Aedion, and my dog, Oliver, came home happy and were very well taken care of. She sent me updates throughout the day with pictures and videos so I got to see how well everything was going which I appreciate more than anything since all I do is worry when I don't have my babies. Will definitely be going back in the future!”
“We are first-time puppy parents, and we needed to find someone to watch our puppy during busy work days. We were nervous to leave her with someone for the first time, but with Jennifer, we had absolutely no reason to be! Kind, courteous, and professional, she sends status updates AND photos throughout the day on your puppy. Our puppy (who has separation anxiety) was so comfortable with her, she took two naps on her lap. We will request Jennifer every single time from now on!”

About: I've cared for dogs big and small since I was eleven. I've watched pets, dogs and cats, for my neighbors and family who needed a caregiver while they're out. I've given the animals baths, walked them around their neighborhood, kept them fed and cared for, and I've stayed the night at my relatives for their dogs. They're typically calm and happy around me, despite separation anxiety. I love animals more than most people! I have full open availability with no other pressing school or work obligations. Sitting and dog walking fits perfectly into my routine as a very active person who needs a lot of walking and stimulation myself. It depends on what the client has provided for me at their home and what they have instructed me to do. I'll take them outside or keep them in per the owners' requests.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals, grew up on a farm, and currently live on one. I currently work with horses. I quit nursing to do something I love and work with animals. If I cannot give your animal the care I would expect mine to get for some reason, I won't take the job. I currently work with horses every day. I live on a farm where we have goats 🐐, horses 🐎, chickens 🐔, a pig 🐖, cats 🐈, dogs 🐕, a rabbit 🐇, and a guinea pig so I'm no stranger to animals. I care for my clients pets as if they are my own. If my scheduling conflicts with their care, I will simply turn the job down because it's just not fair to them. I'm not really about leaving them locked up. I enjoy playing with them, walking them, and getting to know their personalities.
About: Hi, I'm a dedicated dog lover and active-duty military member with a passion for keeping pups happy, healthy, and well-exercised. Whether it's a refreshing run, an adventurous hike, or a tailored workout session, I treat every dog like my own. I specialize in providing personalized exercise based on each dog's breed, age, energy level, and specific needs. From high-energy working breeds that need to run hard to senior dogs that require gentle, low-impact activity, I'll always customize the walk , run,and hike to what’s best for your furry friend. With reliability, and a true love for the outdoors, you can trust that your dog will get safe, attentive care and plenty of quality exercise while you're away. I’m fully committed to their happiness and well-being on every outing. I mainly offer dog walking and exercise services on weekends, as that's when I have the most availability. During the week I can sometimes do shorter midday walks if needed, but my focus is on providing quality weekend sessions .whether that's a solid run, a refreshing hike, or a tailored exercise session based on your dog’s breed, age, and energy level. I primarily offer dog walking and outdoor exercise services, so most of my care takes place at the client’s home or in nearby parks and trails. Here’s how I handle it: I come to your home to pick up your dog for the scheduled walk, run, or hike. All care and exercise happens outdoors with close, one-on-one supervision. I never leave dogs unattended and always use proper equipment (harness/leash) suited to each dog. I provide fresh water, clean up after them, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable at all times. After the session, I return your dog home and can send you updates and photos.
About: What truly sets me apart is not just my love for dogs, but the hands-on experience I have caring for a wide range of breeds and personalities. I currently have three dogs of my own a sweet 8-year-old Chihuahua-Yorkie mix who is our spoiled little baby, a very energetic Shih Tzu who keeps me on my toes, and a gentle giant of a German Shepherd who’s just a big cuddly lovebug. Because of them, I have real-life experience managing everything from small, senior pups to large, high-energy breeds. I’m especially patient with hyper dogs I know how to keep them active, happy, and well-behaved. Whether it’s caring for older dogs who need extra love or keeping up with pups who never seem to run out of energy, I genuinely enjoy every moment of it. I treat every dog like family and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. You can trust that your furry friend will be in caring and capable hands! I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule, which means I get to choose the shifts that work best for me. This allows me to easily plan around pet sitting needs. As long as I’m given a little notice, I can adjust my work hours to fit your schedule whether that’s for regular check-ins, overnight care, or last-minute plans. You can feel confident that your pet will get the attention and care they deserve without any conflicts. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it by using leashes and taking pets on regular walks around my neighborhood or to nearby parks. I enjoy being active and love spending time outdoors with the dogs, giving them plenty of exercise and enrichment. My own dogs are very friendly and would love the extra company, which helps create a warm and welcoming environment for any visiting pets. I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for whether they’re staying in my home or I'm visiting them in theirs.
“Ayla was a wonderful sitter and walker! She even brought an extra food bowl for my pup when I told her I only had his water bowl! She was attentive, on time and lovely to work with! Thank you Ayla??”
“It was great having Noel to walk Kona. She had very good communication with us getting this walk set up and is very polite, kind, and respectful. Our dog had no reservation about meeting her and going on the walk with here. I highly recommend Noel for her services.”
About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every dog like family. I have three sweet, well-loved pups of my own—a playful 1-year-old shepherd husky, a gentle 5-year-old black lab— & the sweetest 1 year old Corgi, so I understand different energy levels, personalities, and care needs. I’ve raised 2 of them since they were puppies, which gave me hands-on experience with puppy training, routines, and positive reinforcement, as well as providing calm, patient care for more mature dogs. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first, whether that means structured playtime, relaxing cuddle time, or keeping routines consistent to reduce stress. I’m attentive, dependable, and genuinely love building trust with both pets and their owners so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I am currently a full time stay home dog mama. My entire days revolve around my fur babies since my schedule is completely open. I’ve loved dogs my whole life and I’ve recently moved to the area from Colorado and went from an apartment to a house with a big yard so most of my days are spent outside with the fur babies. I do have a very large fully fenced in backyard and my dogs pretty much come in & out as they please. They have a large water bowl outside that is always filled and I spend time working with them and giving treats throughout the day as well.
About: My wife and I did pet sitting in Virginia for a little over 3 years before moving to Tennessee. Our pet parents loved us and recommended us highly. We have never met a dog or cat that didn't like us and some even called my wife the dog whisperer because she has a very calming demeanor. We have taken care of dogs from toy poodles to boxers (3 boxers at one time for the weekend). We love to play and snuggle and we will treat them like they are our own. I work nights but my wife is a stay at home grandmother and between us we have plenty of time to give your dog(s) or cat(s) the special time they need and we would love the chance to get to know yours. I am home full time so I have plenty of time to love on your pet(s) except when I have to go to other clients homes to love on theirs. I have a fenced in yard and take them out regularly and I go out with them to make sure they are safe and secure.
About: Attention to your animals needs, all animals are the most precious especially seniors. I’m comfortable with giving medication, highly communicative and flexible. I know basic grooming skills, most comfortable with any breed. I know how to deal with animals with separation anxiety or anxiety issues. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom & wife. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies while you are away. I’m available anytime. I also have a background working in animal care, I use to work as a kennel technician and also worked under a veterinarian. Before we even book a sitting I love to meet with my clients and fur friends to see if we’re a perfect match. I always like to know what the dog/cat is like so I can build trust more easily
About: There has never been a moment in my life when I have lived without animals. I have the biggest heart for animals and I will care for them as if they are my own. I have experience caring for all kinds of animals of all ages and sizes. I also have experience administering medication to animals, such as eye drops and pills. If your pet has struggles getting comfortable with new people, I have no problem taking the time and doing everything that is necessary to help them feel comfortable and at ease with my presence because I would never want to cause any stress or anxiety for them or you. I am currently in nursing school so Monday mornings, as well as most of the day on Tuesdays and Wednesdays I am unavailable as I will be in classes! Monday and Wednesday mornings i'm unavailable (sometimes this changes so feel free to ask), and Tuesdays I am unavailable until after 5pm! Thursdays and Fridays I am pretty open if I don't have an exam, but I will be sure to communicate this & it's normally only 2 hours out of the day that I am unavailable! In your home, I understand that is your animals territory and give plenty of time and space to get them comfortable with me and my scent before seeming like i’m imposing or intruding uninvited. I treat everyone’s home how I would want my home treated and leave everything just as good, if not better then when I arrived.
About: I've taken care of dogs and puppies for family and friends since I was 12 years old, I can promise lots of cuddles and playtime! I am currently enrolled in school that requires me to attend in person classes Mondays and Wednesday nights from 5:15pm-7:45pm. I like to spend most of my time at home or outside. I have a fenced in yard with a dog of my own who can keep your fur baby company, I can also crate your dog if needed.
About: Hi! My name is Katherine, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I’m a Certified Veterinary Assistant with over 10 years of hands-on experience working with animals. Because of my veterinary training, I’m able to provide a level of care that goes beyond basic pet sitting. I understand animal behavior, health, and safety, which helps me keep pets comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. My experience includes: • Veterinary clinic experience • Pet boarding & daycare care • Shelter volunteering • Caring for puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets • Administering medications when needed • Recognizing early signs of illness or distress I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, medication, or just a calm companion, I adjust my care to their individual needs. When your pet is with me, you can expect: ✔ Lots of love and attention ✔ Frequent updates and photos ✔ Safe handling from someone with veterinary training ✔ Reliable and responsible care I understand how important pets are—they’re family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for, and that you feel completely comfortable while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! 🐶🐱 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a online college student with a flexible schedule and a background in veterinary care, I am able to dedicate focused time to each pet I care for. I structure my day around walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins to ensure every pet receives consistent attention and care. Because animals have always been a big part of my life, spending time caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. As a Certified Veterinary Assistant, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any medical needs so I can provide consistent care while their owner is away. I closely monitor pets for signs of stress, illness, or discomfort and ensure they are always in a safe environment. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine, providing plenty of attention, and keeping their space clean, calm, and secure.
About: I have had animals my entire life— I come from a family who loved having animals; dogs, birds, cats, you name it. I have had my own pets for 5 years since I’ve had my own house(s) & my favorite compliment from anyone is when they comment on how well-behaved & friendly my pets are. I hike a lot & have taken my friends’ dogs on many walks. I’m the go-to person my friends & family ask to watch their pets, check on them, feed or walk them, etc. I’m extremely reliable & responsible— I value punctuality & kindness in all I do. I have a lot of free time and flexibility with my schedule as I work from home. I have plenty of time off on the weekends, as well. I always make time for animals and nature— that’s what brings me peace and balances out the work-week. I live in a lovely, largely grassed apartment complex with big stretches of yard for pets to play in and do their business. The area I live in in Newark is safe and there’s plenty of sidewalks and lovely trails near by for walking. My home is pet-friendly, both dogs and cats are welcome, they won’t be shunned from the furniture and they will always have a lot of attention as I work from home. I do have a cat as well, but she is very relaxed and friendly with all animals and people alike. My friends bring over their puppies and cats to play with Twig (my cat) all the time! I have lots of space for crates if needed, too— along with a litter box if I ever board another cat/kitten!
About: Hey there! Thanks for checking out my page. Allow me to introduce myself... My name is Alyssa. I am a 24 year old recent college graduate, with a bachelors in biology, and have been working closely with animals and people for the last 5 years as an employee with a local kayaking company. I have always been a fur-baby fanatic; really a lover of all animals since I was just a young girl. At home, I have a cavalier king charles spaniel named Toby. He has been my best friend and companion for the last 11 years. I promise to take care of your beloved companions as if they were my own and treat them with the utmost respect and compassion at all times! I am open to special request and can offer whatever services they may need in your absence, IE. brushing, constant walks, play-time, and whatever else I can to keep your pet as comfortable and happy as can be! I am a recent graduate and am currently searching for new work opportunities, but in the meantime have a mostly open schedule to care for your animals! I care for each and every one of my clients pets as though they were my own sweet fur baby; I know how unnerving it can be to be apart from family, even the fur family members!
About: I adore animals, especially dogs and cats. I had a pit bull that was 15 years old but she recently passed. I am an avid hiker and loved taking my dog, and other dogs, with me on my hikes. I’m missing that hiking and walking partner now. I have a small alley cat that we adopted but she in not into taking long walks whatsoever. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little kid and I will take care of your dog like it was my own child! Dogs need attention, love, food, and playtime. Are you busy at work and don’t have enough time to dedicate to your dog(s)?? I can help you give your dog(s) what they need! It would be my pleasure! I am currently a stay at home mom so my schedule is fairly flexible. I have a few times during the day that are dedicated to being a taxi for kids but overall, not that busy. I have a large backyard that is completely fenced in so dogs have plenty of room to run and be safe! We do not have any other dogs at our home but we do have a cat that stays away from all things unknown! If you are needing in home care at your home, that is not a problem either!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs basicly all my life. I currently have an Australian Shepherd that is five years old. He is good with other dogs. He has separation anxiety, so I know how to take care of that as well. I work full-time at the University. I go on daily walks with my own dogs. I’m pretty free after work. You’re dog will feel at home:) I have a fenced in yard and I live in a house, so I have plenty of space for your pet. I also make sure that they get plenty of exercise.

“I can’t say enough good things about Maria! She took incredible care of my puppy while I was on vacation, and I felt completely at ease the entire time.
