“Kirsten was amazing. My girls felt right at home & were well taken care of. I couldn't have asked for better communication while the dogs were in her care & she went above & beyond take sure the girls were comfortable & their needs were met. If she could travel with us as a full time dog sitter, I would take her without hesitation. By far the best experience I have ever had when seeking care for my dogs!”
“Jenny was great! She was very easy to communicate with and flexible about the times and last minute booking. She sends a lot of pictures so you can see that your dog is having a nice trip. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Nicole was a lifesaver! After getting over booked at a kennel during Cooperstown Baseball season, she came to my rescue. Great communication, flexible, easy to work with, updated me with pictures and she even trimmed my puppy nails. Highly recommend her.”
“Megan is an attentive, communicable host, with a spotless home and a beautiful large safe property! She reads directions closely and offers detailed check-ins when our dogs are away. She also has an excellent creek behind her house which I didn’t realize at first! Her dog is friendly and I would definitely book again with her”

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from cats & dogs to fluffy chinchillas! I have special experience working with powerful breeds, including retired and aspiring K9s, as well as senior & special needs pets. My home comes equipped with accessiblity tools like pet stairs & ramps suitable for even larger dogs. Our quarter acre is unfenced, but we do have a small enclosed area off the porch & several long leads to enjoy more of the grassy lawn. Safety is paramount.

I have a fenced potty area off my porch for easy quick breaks, and several long leads for exploring the unfenced portions of the property. My senior dog recently passed away but she left soft beds in every room, jars of treats, and a big basket of toys I know she’d love to share.
“Gilbert was fantastic with Chance. I received at least daily pictures and updates on how Chance was doing. Gilbert also dropped in to take care of my cat while we were away and did a wonderful job with him too. I appreciate everything Gilbert did and would not hesitate to hire him again. He is the BEST! Thank you Gilbert…. Until next time! 😁😁”

“Dylan is a great find! it takes a brave soul with skills to take on a rambunctious energetic GSD with her greyhound friend Trinity and her side kick Pepper. Dylan did it all with skill, and knowledge and most of all caring and compassion. I was so relieved to have him at the house caring for this crew!”

We will definitely work with Tarah again--she's professional, reliable, detail-oriented, friendly, and great with Salem! Thank you, Tarah! 💕”
About: My love for pets started early—not just with dogs, but with cats too. When I was 12, I began helping my neighbors while they went on vacation, making sure their cats were fed, had fresh water, and a clean litter box. Over the years I’ve continued caring for both cats and dogs, including through Rover. Many of the families I work with have both, and I know how important it is to give cats the same love, attention, and consistency as their canine siblings. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping routines steady, I’m here to make sure your feline friends feel safe and cared for while you’re away.
“Elizabeth performed brilliantly -- she completed all requests without fail and provided plenty of photographic and written responses. She was timely in arranging service initially. And she managed the visits and house key drop-off well. We appreciated her willingness to commit to providing care with short notice. Thanks!”

“Willow was super tired and had a great time. Kirsten and Mark knew just how to handle our high-anxiety dog. Their property is like Disney Land for dogs! Tons of space and places to explore and run around in safely. Their dogs are super friendly and welcomed Willow into their pack easily. We recommend Kirsten and Mark highly!”
About: I have over 7 years of hands-on animal care experience, including running my own dog walking business for 2 years and ongoing work in farm animal rescue. I had two dogs of my own for over 15 years and have cared for many rescue dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and especially comfortable with shy, nervous, or high-energy dogs. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine while they’re in my care. I do have cats in my home, so dogs staying with me should be cat-friendly. References are available upon request. “Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I work part-time overnight, which means I’m home and available throughout the day for walks, supervision, and consistent care. I also run a nonprofit animal rescue from my home, so caring for animals is something I’m actively doing every day. My routine is built around feeding schedules, exercise, cleaning, and making sure each animal gets individual attention. Because of this, I’m very used to managing different needs while keeping a calm, structured environment.” depends on each pet’s routine and comfort level, but I always aim to keep things as consistent and low-stress as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, structured environment with regular feeding schedules, exercise, and plenty of supervision throughout the day. Dogs get daily walks, enrichment, and individual attention. I take introductions slowly and make sure everyone is safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed—while also keeping your home clean and respected. I pay attention to behavior and body language and adjust care based on what each pet needs. My goal is always to make pets feel secure and well cared for, whether they’re in my home or staying in theirs
“I can’t thank Gil enough for the attentiveness, caring, and love he showed to my 15 yr old dachshund! Gil took the time to listen to my wife and me when we described to him our pup’s tendencies and hinderances. We felt confident as we pulled out of the driveway that our old guy was in great hands! Gil made sure to send us photos of our pup throughout the day, as well as updates on its evacuations (very important for an older dog). Overall, I can say unequivocally that Gil was a perfect sitter for our elderly pup, and I would 100% recommend him to anyone needing a pet sitter in that area! Kudos, Gil!”

“I have booked with Dylan a few times and he is always great with my rambunctious pitty! His communication is awesome and he always sends cute pics so I know my boy is happy and well taken care of.”
About: I've been an animal lover since I was a young girl and want to have a positive impact on every fur baby I come into contact with. So far in my early years of life I've cared for 3 dogs of my own, from having a super calm lab mix to having a hound mix with anxiety and high energy. In 2018 I adopted a 5 month old lab pit mix from a high kill shelter through East Coast Adoptions. Taking on a high maintenance dog has it's challenges but extremely rewarding. He taught me so much, including patience and how to become a good trainer. Message me to find out more about my services! I just moved back to my home town and have a flexible schedule that will allow me to pop in and check on your fur baby while still keeping an open schedule 💖 I had a fenced in yard growing up at my parents house that allowed my pups the exercise needed daily as well as afternoon walks. I will no longer be able to provide boarding/ overnight care as an option at this point but happy to work with your needs to come up with a compromise!
About: My family and I love animals. I grew up on a farm. With that being said, I know the value of caring for animals and have a good work ethic. Along with my family we have helped raise 3 guiding eyes for the blind dogs. We have raised 3 dogs of our very own, along with rabbits, Guinea pigs, chickens and a few other pets. I will care for your pets as our own. I will play with them. I will take them on walks. I will follow your instructions. I will crate your animal as needed. I can care for a puppy, a small dog, a big dog, an energetic dog. and elder dog or somewhere in between. I look forward to meeting you and your pet. I do work M-F. but my family and I work together to care for your pet. We will make sure they go out often, and are played with every day. I do not have a fenced in yard. We walk dogs on a leash, we have plenty of land to do this. We take the dogs out often, and play with them as well. *** If I am watching a pet in your home, I require you to tell me if you have cameras in or outside your home.
“We are looking forward to booking Elizabeth again! She responded quickly to a last minute booking and was prompt with all communication. We could tell from her walk photos and description that our dog had a great time!”
About: I'm a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA), and I have over 15 years of working with dogs in veterinary clinics, humane societies, boarding kennels, grooming parlors, and most recently, managing a doggy daycare and teaching classes for a dog training institution. I own 13 acres of woods and fields that allows for dogs to run and play, though boarders use long lines for safety. Each dog who comes into my home will retain basic manners, including waiting at doors, loose leash walking skills, and come when called commands. I'm experienced with and capable of handling under-socialized or even aggressive dogs. I simply work with dogs on an individualized basis, to develop appropriate relationships with each pet. I love dogs, all dogs, and they tend to love me back.
About: I have many years of experience working with dogs of all sizes. Enjoy walking dogs. Will care for your dog and treat them as family. I’m able to take care of your animal during day, evening or even for overnight. I’m always walking dogs and pet sitting cats and dogs. I will follow instructions for what is needed. Will keep animals safe and ensure that any animals that are not allowed outside don’t go outside. I will play with animals, empty litter box, and ensure they are safe before leaving.

“Kirsten was amazing. My girls felt right at home & were well taken care of. I couldn't have asked for better communication while the dogs were in her care & she went above & beyond take sure the girls were comfortable & their needs were met. If she could travel with us as a full time dog sitter, I would take her without hesitation. By far the best experience I have ever had when seeking care for my dogs!”
