“Very happy with Camille's drop in on our kitties. She did everything we asked and more. Our cats felt comfortable enough to come greet her, which says a lot! Really great communication from her too. Will absolutely keep her in mind for future needs!”
“Brittani was absolutely amazing and took such wonderful care of my kitten while I was away. She kept me updated with lots of photos and gave me so many details about her visits with Opal.

She was so kind and I know my kitten was in the best hands with Brittani!”

About: I cat sit for two families whenever I am needed routinely. I have also lived with and taken care of a cat for two years- I absolutely loved it! Cat sitting is a lot different than taking care of a dog, but when it comes to any animal big or small I’ll always be up to the task.
About: I've had experience in handling and providing care for cats of all temperaments from my own to working with boarding cats at kennels and the SPCA. I am comfortable adminstering medicine through food or using a pill pusher or pill pockets. Growing up one of my cats had issues with her kidneys and I administered her pills with a pusher as it was the only way to reliability know she received her life saving medicine every morning. I have a young cat of my own who is a bit on the spunky side but I love him reguardless of all the sass! At the SPCA I made sure all our cats in the facility were fed and had a clean kennel. I enjoyed free time providing enrichment through play or for the more shy cats sitting quietly and allowing them to come and go as they pleased.
“Taylor provided excellent care to our two Dobermans. She was willing to come out early and meet our dogs and was very friendly. She arrived on time for a drop in visit and provided timely updates and many pictures of our dogs hanging out. We were very happy to use Taylor and will absolutely reach out to her again for future visits and stays during our travels.”
“Nikki did a wonderful job taking care of our cats. She went above and beyond to make sure they were fed and got attention during her visits. One of my cats is usually *very* shy but Nikki earned her trust right away, which we really appreciate.”

About: I have been raised around cats my whole life. My first experience with a cat was while living with my grandpa. He had 2 cats who I adored so much as a kid. I even wrote a story on one of them in elementary school. I’ve had 4 cats since then. I helped rescue my mom’s cat (a stray kitten at the time) when she was found in the hood of her car. Cats are so unique and I will never skip a cat video

“Lucia is fantastic. She kept my young energetic dog and my old sensitive nervous couch potato! When I picked them up they were both happy and content. I received frequent photos and texts throughout the day along with an end of day report. Will definitely return and also use for overnight boarding.”
“Melanie was great! I reached out to her on short notice for doggy daycare and she was very communicative throughout the stay. She sent pictures and took Oakley on walks. I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”

I love to walk multiple times a day so you can be assured they will get lots of attention and exercise.
“I am in town for a wedding, and my dog was too stressed to stay in the hotel while I was gone. Desiree was a life saver by taking my dog at the last minute for doggy daycare! I was able to enjoy the wedding knowing my dog was having fun with other people and other dogs, and I picked up a happy and tired pup 😀 If I ever find myself back in the area, I would 100% ask Desiree to watch my dog again. Thanks!!!”

From energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets requiring extra attention, I understand that every animal is unique and deserves personalized care.

“First time users here! She went above and beyond! Truly connected with my pups and put my mind at ease while we were away. The pups had so much fun and were exhausted when they came home from playing all day. We will definitely be using Ashley again.”
About: Best Care for Your Pets! Hi! My name is Katlin. I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for them. I currently share my home with my spouse, my two daughters, our dog and cat. Our animals are truly part of our family. I love spending time outdoors, whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, or simply giving dogs the attention and exercise they need. Having owned dogs with a variety of personalities and energy levels, I'm comfortable caring for pups of all ages and temperaments. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. That's why I'll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care I give my own.

About: I have raised or taken care of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, sheep, cows, chickens, etc. You name it, if it was on a farm, I've helped to take care of it since I was a wee lass. I have a special place in my heart for senior kitties and doggos. We had a dog with Addison's Disease, so I am well versed in administering medicine orally, as well as subcutaneously. Our bearded dragon recently passed away, but she lived 9 years, which is decent in bearded dragon life! I do enjoy beardies and reptiles in general. I'm a stay-at-home-mom (prior teacher, but we have a bunch of little kids), and I'm always in town running errands and doing school drop-offs. I'm looking for exercise, and I love animals, so it seems like a beautiful fit. I started off with house sitting on my profile, but I took it off because I cannot to commit to sitting with them all day long because it takes a lot from my family. I can, however, spend hours with them at a time, and spend the night, but can't stay the whole time. Feel free to send me a message about house-sitting if that's what you need, and we can discuss. I know not to overfeed an animal; understand that exercise keeps them out of trouble; can easily crate your dog, and keep everyone fed, watered, and loved while you're away. I take pride in the fact that I am a quality person with high morals. I am too old for any hoodrat ish, and if you leave a vacuum and/or cleaning supplies out for me, I will use them for you. I am here for people and families, but I do prefer animals LOL

About: I have had dogs, all my life, from Chihuahuas up to German Shepards. I’ve had dogs who have had diabetes and cancer from the time they were puppies up to adult seniors. My dogs are my family, and they are spoiled rotten! I am retired and stay at home most of the time. The dogs are allowed to roam through the house as long as they behave themselves and they get plenty of treats exercise when playing outside. The only time my dog is kennel is when I need to go to a doctor appointment. My dog is a Weimaraner and black lab mix. She is a very hyper and loving dog who loves to play fetch with the ball. She is longing for a playmate, since her best friend passed away a few months ago.
About: Hi! I’m Kat — and I offer personalized walks and enrichment as a trusted extension of your dog’s care team. I know how hard it is to leave your dog. They’re family. Clear communication and consistency matter, and I take that seriously. Every visit is an opportunity to build trust — with both you and your pup. You’ll receive thoughtful updates that include notes on energy, potty, behavior, and anything I’m noticing (because yes, I absolutely pay attention to the details). I truly treat each dog as the individual they are. Some are bold explorers. Some are thoughtful observers. Some love a purposeful walk, while others prefer a slower pace with time to sniff and take it all in.

I’m especially attentive to patterns — what helps a dog feel calm, confident, and engaged. Safety and steady leadership are always my priorities.

About: Ive been pet sitting since i was 14, taking care of my family members pets and providing with the best care possible. They deserve a better world so i decided to make part of it. I currently work in the military, but i enjoy bringing happiness to pets and figured i would make it possible for the people who aren’t available at certain times. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats who are in peace with each other’s company. I take my pets outside with a leash and avoid letting them free outside my home for obvious reasons. Your pets will be welcomed and well taken care of!
“Rex loved walking around with Bailey. She took great care of him. She was able to adjust well to his needs for his walks. I would absolutely recommend Bailey for those looking for a dog walker!”

I know it’s important to keep them on a good schedule :) !
About: I have had a dog ever since I could remember growing up. I currently have a 5 year old golden retriever/lab who loves everyone. I’ve been watching other’s dogs for about 6 years now. I’m currently working only a couple days a month on the weekends, so my availability is very flexible and open. Please reach out, I would love to take care of your pets!! I have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood. My home is their home, I let them get comfortable on the couches and if they, myself, and yourself are comfortable with the doggos sleeping in the bed, then that as well. I can take them on walks, play with them, and give them lots of snuggles and love!
About: I’ve been raised around dogs and cats my whole life. From giving medication to helping a paralyzed dog walk and go potty, I am very attentive to what a dog and cat needs. I know how stressful it can be to leave your animal at home all day without human interaction or going outside to potty, but with my help I will be able to do that for you. I will not overstep any boundaries and follow your rules and instructions for your pet. I am available as needed! Please do not hesitate to book me during any day. I would love to watch or take care of your pet Each pet that I have ever taken care, i treat them like my own. I wouldn’t want someone who doesn’t care for animals to take care of them. Each pet gets a lot of attention and the best care. I make sure I do what the owner(s) tells me and provide them with any sort of issue or concern. With in-home visits, I will make sure I am doing what is being told. If they need to eat or play, I will do so. With walking, i will make sure it’s in an area you and your pet are comfortable with.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life, especially when it comes to cats. I grew up in a household that always had multiple cats. I just recently moved from my parents house where we had four, including a rescue I brought back from an overseas deployment. I also have experience caring for senior pets, including my childhood pet, a 14 year old Siamese in her final years, where I provided comfort, medication support, and close monitoring. I’ve fostered multiple litters of kittens, including bottle feeding, scheduled care, and neonatal support (including stimulation for bathroom and feeding routines), so I’m very comfortable with young or high needs animals. I also have hands on experience caring for dogs, including a family chocolate lab that I regularly walked, took on beach trips, transported safely in my vehicle, and maintained consistent feeding and exercise routines for. I’m comfortable managing leash behavior, high energy dogs, and ensuring pets get both physical activity and attention. What sets me apart is my genuine compassion and attentiveness. I treat every pet like my own and take the time to understand their personality, needs, and comfort level. Treating any animal I encounter humanely is my calling. It is humans responsibility to care for them. I’m a substitute teacher, so I’m able to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, and I make sure to stay consistent with each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. I have no pets or children at home. I have a huge backyard that isn’t completely fenced, but property behind it. No smoking or people coming in/out for any reasons.
About: My experience in pet care is extensive. From helping raise and train my own family dogs as child, to working at different animal facilities, I have experience in many different/difficult situations I may face. While I lived in New York I worked at a high end Doggy Daycare and boarding facility that prided itself in creating a certified "fear free" environment for dogs. In a daycare setting I handled and monitored up to 25 dogs in a safe and ethical way. I learned how to read different dog body language cues and how to handle small to XL size dogs. I took a lot of pride in the environment I created for my playgroups so dogs could enjoy safe, fun interactions with each other. I also worked as a kennel technician at the same facility. I did potty breaks for up to 50 dogs, cleaned kennels to propers standards and provided enrichment and feeding for all of our guests. I have experience in how to handle aggressive or stand offish dogs in a safe and manageable way. I also learned a lot about animal health and helped provide care for special needs guests who may have disabilities due to age or that were on seizure watch. Any issues or concerns I had health wise were immediately brought to my supervisors so it could be brought to the owners attention. I worked at Resorts Boarding and Play in two different times for about a year and a half total. After my time at this facility I worked at the SPCA Serving Erie County as an animal caretaker. It was here I gained more exposure to different temperaments in dogs and cats and how to work with them while also cleaning their kennels so they had a clean safe space to enjoy. I enjoyed helping all these pets in desperate need and watching them come out of their shells and experience joy more and more. It was one of the most rewarding parts of that job! When I moved to North Carolina I spent a few months working at 7 Lakes Kennels as a kennel technician again. I cleaned kennels and helped pair dogs for daycare play. I handled medicine distribution to dogs who needed it, cleaned potty yards and of course, played with many dogs! I again had previous experience in handling some tougher dogs so I was comfortable in helping others with some guests who had behavioral challenges. I also did feedings for the guests under my care for the day and took everyone out for potty walks at allotted times. Although I have only professionally been in the pet care industry for about 3 years I consider most of my life as experience from also doing all pet care for my animals growing up, including pushing pills for my childhood cat who had issues with kidney function. I fed all my childhood pets morning and night. I handled supplements for my goldendoodle who had hip and joint issues later in life. I have tons of techniques to help dogs take medicine in an enticing manner. I also made sure my dogs received 20-30 minutes of intense exercise a day to meet their large dog requirements as goldendoodles. They preferred playing ball but also enjoyed added on walks. I am sincerely passionate about providing top-notch care to pets and have shown that to many previous employers who always enjoyed my attention to detail and efforts to work with the animals regardless of any behavior issues or health concerns they faced. I am stay at home as of now so I have plenty of free time on my hands. I prefer to be at home rather than out so the only time I gone really is to run errands or be at the gym. I enjoy an active lifestyle so I do walk my dogs a bit or allow them to run around outside and play with them. I have a set feeding schedule for them. Breakfast is 8 am and dinner is 5 pm. I have done both of my dogs basic obedience myself as I'm looking to advance in the dog training field. I hope to start schooling soon to get my certifications. I have used different techniques for both of my dogs as they have different temperaments. I strive to understand my dogs thoroughly and work with them rather than force them into overwhelming situations. We always start small and build from there once they show they understand a concept or become more comfortable in a new environment. Both of my dogs are crate trained. I love them very much but I finds crates are a very helpful tool to help teach self control and give them a space they can call their own. I am happy to follow any instructions you may have for me through a text message or written out on paper. If you have any concerns I am happy to communicate with you while you are away! At one boarding facility we would send out pictures every three days of a fun activity we did with the dogs to help ease owners minds. I am more than willing to do something like that for you everyday! I totally understand the worry of being away from your best friends! I do ask if your dog boards with me that they come with their crate/kennel. I find it a bit easier for a dog to decompress in a new environment if they have something that is familiar for them. Blankets that smell like you are a plus. I am more than willing to clean toys and bedding before you come to pick up your buddy again. If you want feeding done at certain times I'm happy to do that as I have a free schedule just taking care of my home. Walks, playtime and interacting with dogs are must to keep spirits up while you are away so I am happy to provide these services as well! Of course attention and love is given regardless to any pet I am watching! I am comfortable adminstering medication according to labels or any supplements/treats you provide your pets! I ALWAYS listen to and watch dogs for body language cues. I find that respecting dogs leads to a much better relationship between caretakers and friends. I have extensive training through "The Dog Gurus" my first employer provided all employees. This taught me different play styles for breeds, how to monitor health through potty habits and what to look for in concerning poop. I learned the warning signs of seizures and how to handle them as well as what to watch for if a dog may have a parasitic infection. I was also taught signs of stress and techniques to help prevent them through providing familiar scents, toys or approach. I am aware of and use certain skills in approaching nervous dogs-become smaller and less threatening by turning your back slightly and not holding direct eye contact. I always allow a dog to approach me by offering my hand from a distance and letting them decide if they want to interact or not. For dogs who were sensitive or reactive about touch around their neck while working I used a "double slip lead" technique so I wouldn't have to get into their personal space while putting a lead on them. It also made it safer to remove a lead by never having to physically touch the dog, rather gently pull one lead attached around the other and they would both safely slip off the dog. Understanding a dogs temperament and triggers is vital for me to work safely and effectively with any dog I encounter or interact with. Please always offer all information on your dog to me during a meet and greet session. I would rather have "too much" information on your dog than feel like I'm scrambling with questions later on while you are away. I enjoy working with all different types of dogs and love learning about their personalities and things they enjoy. I feel confident in my skill level and experience to provide safe, loving, enjoyable care for all your four legged family members.
“Niki has been walking my dog for a couple months now. She is extremely reliable and very understanding when I have had to occasionally cancel last minute. I can tell Axel really likes her, and that feels great.”
“Terri had been such a great sitter!! I’ve used her multiple times now because of the great experience with her. The first time I used her she was so responsive to the booking request and was more than understanding of what I needed for my dogs. Every time she walks them I know they’re getting the right attention needed for two high energy dogs. They get to play and relieve some energy during the time Terri watches them! I highly recommend you book with her! She’s great!! Thank you Terri!!”
About: I’ve taken care of various dogs, puppies, cats, aquatic animals for several years now. I gained most of my experience with animals while being a nanny, and often watch pets while families go out of town or overnight trips. I currently work full time, so my hours are typically limited before 8 and after 5. I’m extremely flexible and often available on weekends for extra cuddles and playtime with your pet! As an animal owner myself, I know how hard leaving your baby can be. My top priority is to provide your pet with the highest quality care and the safest environment! All of my attention will be geared toward your animal(s). I also strive to have clear communication to make you and your pet feel as comfortable as possible.
About: I’ve had two dogs and a cat at home in my lifetime, helped train them, and am very good at taking care of them. I also worked with a hunting dog training program, cleaning kennels, feeding, and playing with working dogs. I am a full time student so I can do evenings or check-ins and potty breaks, but mostly weekends will fit best with my schedule! I will follow the rules set by the home owners, whether that comes down to feeding or potty rules or walking rules! whatever the guidelines are is how i will treat the animals and home!
About: I have cared for several dogs of all breeds and sizes. I like to stay active and go on walks, hikes and be outdoors as much as indoors. I will make sure to give your pet enough time, energy, love and playtime while they’re in our home. I work full-time during the week, but I am able to come home during my lunch break to take care of your loved one. I am home on the weekends and can go on walks, run or just have a nice relaxing day at home with them. I have over an acre of land that your dog can roam freely on. I will let dogs roam my house when supervised if they’re potty trained and well behaved. If they are not potty trained I do have a room set up for the dogs I care for while I am away at work. They can crated or not crated. At night time they can sleep in a bed or in their crate whichever is preferred. I can provide frequent potty breaks and walks and will make sure to follow your instructions for their care.
About: I’ve always had pets since I can remember and have loved taking care of my own as well as friends family and neighbors for many years I’m available to fit in drop ins and walks very easily in my schedule. I have most days free and would love to take care of your babies I’m available to provide safe, loving care to your pets. I will make sure they are fed, pottied, played with and given love. I’m able to give meds and crate dogs as well
