About: I love taking care of cats since I’ve never gotten to have my own! I have experience taking care of cats who need medicine, are older, and also middle aged. I’m not as familiar with aggressive cats, and would prefer to work with attention seekers or just the average cat!
“Stephanie was wonderful with our girls!! I was apprehensive as I had to extend our travels and have never left them for such a long time, but Stephanie was reliable and prompt with her visits. The girls enjoyed her visits. Thank you!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs as well as walking and helping care for my neighbors’ dogs. Through this, I’ve learned how to safely walk dogs, follow feeding routines, give lots of attention, and recognize when a dog may need a break or extra care. I’m comfortable with different personalities and understand how important patience and consistency are for pets. I’m available after school on weekdays and I have more flexible availability on weekends. I’m reliable, punctual, and always communicate clearly about scheduling and updates. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow instructions carefully, keep pets on leash during walks, and make sure they’re always in a safe, calm environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and respect owners’ routines, rules, and preferences.
“Claire is amazing! Book her immediately to watch your cat! We had Claire drop in everyday for a week to visit our 18 year old little Burmese that needs medicine. Claire genuinely loves cats and gave so much love to ours! I can honestly say our little kitty has never been in such great shape when we returned home after a week away as when Claire took care of her. In addition, Claire wrote super detailed updates and sent at least 6 pictures each day, stellar communication! Thank you, Claire, we can't wait to use you again!”
“Samantha was great and made sure Athena was well cared-for while I was away for a couple of days. She left good updates and was even able to get a picture of my (very shy, usually hiding) kitty.”

My family has had Pitbulls, Weiner dogs, Cats, and even rats, etc. I know how to care for various types and sizes of pets and frequently take care of my neighbors 3 dogs (walking all at the same time, one big dog and two wild medium ones), and 3 cats.

As for my experience, I had dogs and cats while I was growing up and I helped family and friends with dog sitting when needed. I hope you consider me for the position and I look forward to hearing from you. I have open and flexible schedule throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I can help same day or plan for days in advance. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Joppatowne
“Our golden retriever puppy, Loki had the BEST time in Tarina’s care! He was extremely comfortable there and was treated like part of the family. We are excited to have Tarina watch him again soon! :)”
About: Although I currently have no pets, I have had dogs and cats for over 30 years. I am recently retired and looking to fill part of my days with lots of doggy and cat snuggles. I'd love to help with your fur babies! I am retired and am available daily when I am not traveling. I am usually an early riser, so those morning walks are not a problem. If I am caring for a pet in my home, I have them on a leash when outside. In your home, I will follow your routine and all instructions you leave.
“Megan & Jake took such good care of Willa while we were visiting for a funeral. I didn’t have to worry at all about her and she had Dunkin to play with! Will definitely contact them again in the future for care 👍🏻”
“Emma was so sweet with Puddin' - just the kind of energy that makes my nervous standard comfortable. She was also very flexible with me as I needed to drop off Puddin' way later than originally planned.”
“Katie was very professional and gave me much comfort in reserving from far away. She proactively confirmed the day before when I was en route and was very welcoming to Ferris. Very quickly after I left she sent a reassuring note and video which was much appreciated as I could have my meetings know that Ferris was comfortable, well taken care of and having fun. I highly recommend Katie!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, with hands-on experience ranging from dogs and cats to rabbits, farm animals and more. I regularly provide care for farm animals, including feeding, grooming, bathing, and overall daily care. This wide range of experience has made me comfortable handling different temperaments, routines, and needs, so you can feel confident your pet is in capable, attentive hands. Flexible and reliable pet care for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. Available weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I treat every pet like family and provide attentive, consistent care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. For the best experience for all pets in my care, I only accept dogs that are house-trained and comfortable being left alone for short periods of time. I am committed to providing a safe, calm environment for every pet I care for.
“Kathleen was wonderful! She was quick to respond and very flexible. Well equipped with puppy gates and pee pads just in case. My senior was well taken care of. I would highly recommend Kathleen.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of multiple kinds since I was 12. Mainly family animals but I would watch friends pets as well. I am currently a stay at home mom for the next 4-5 years, so I have more than enough free time on my hands at the moment. I have a huge fenced park right behind my apartments so they are able to play all day as needed. In addition to the park, I have a ton of space in my apartment and a friendly dog of my own who loves to play. I have a variety of dog/cat treats and toys!
“Tyler was great, our dog is 4 months old high energy pup who hasn’t met other dog yet. Tyler was comforted with his dogs being the first. He sent us a video of the dogs play and having a great time. We were nervous leaving him with someone for the first time but after meeting Tyler we were sure he was a perfect choice. We will definitely call on him again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a year now. I’ve been around dogs growing up: taking care of them, walking them, playing with them. As someone who’s never had a dog, I enjoy spending time with others’ dogs and feel proud of my carefulness, kindness, and respect for dogs. I will always be flexible and am in contact 24/7. If there is an issue, I will make sure to contact owner and work things out! If you would like my service and get to know me before taking care of your dog, please reach out to me and I’d be happy to meet and see if I’m the right fit for the service! Currently i’m not working, but June-August I will be. There will be two weeks in June I will not be working and a week in July i’m not. But I’m pretty much booked except Tuesdays and weekends of the upcoming months! In the month of May I have an open availability, but in the upcoming months I have Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday free! I have a nice little yard in the back and open space in the living room area. I can drive anywhere to walk the dog. We have Annie’s playground where I can walk it, or Mariners Point. What makes my place special will be the care and warm welcome the dog will receive! I’m sure that it will feel right at home!
About: Certified Dog Trainer & Professional Pet Spoiler I’ve been caring for animals professionally for over 10 years—basically, I’m the Mary Poppins of pets (minus the umbrella, plus a lot more treats). I work remotely, which means I have plenty of time to shower your furry, feathery, or finned friends with attention while you’re away. I share my life with my own dog, Roux, who would need to join me for overnight house sitting—she’s well-mannered, charming, and believes she’s the CEO of the operation. Specialties include: • Raising & training puppies (basic commands, potty, & crate training) • Senior pet care • Dogs with anxiety • Administering medications • Cat care (yes, even the sassy ones) • Rodent care (mice, guinea pigs, bunnies—you name it) • Basic fish tank maintenance (I’ve never lost a guppy on my watch) I work remotely which gives me some flexibility to care for your pup. I prefer overnight stays at the clients home with the ability to come home to work during the day but may be able to bring my work to you. I care for my clients pets exactly the same as their owner and better! I love them like my own. An in home pet sitter is a great way to keep your pets routine so they are less stressed while you are away.
“This was my first time using a sitter and Angelene was great! I really enjoyed receiving the pictures of my dog Teddy throughout the day. I could tell he had a great time with Angelene and her family. I will definitely book Angelene again!”
“Our Pup had a great time at Shanon's. He enjoyed the company of her older dogs. Her backyard is fenced, huge, and safe. Very good at communication, and we received updates with pictures. Shanon listened to us on our specific instructions and followed them. She always responded timely to our texts. Fed the pup on time and also arranged a cozy bed for him. We recommend her and would definitely book again when in the area.”
