Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ossian

“I can not share enough how fantastic Abigail is! She is responsive and flexible when I needed to make some last minute changes, and my fur baby couldn't be happier staying with her! Her daily check ins are heartwarming and I am so thankful to have found such a great sitter!”

About: I've been dog sitting for ten years and have had dogs my entire life. I provide daily walks, check-ins, in-home sitting and overnight sitting in my home for your pets. I have experience working with dogs of all breeds and ages. I can assist with potty training puppies. I can administer medication if needed. I have also handled dogs that pull or jump. I also can do nail trimming and baths. I enjoy spending time with dogs and find their personalities to be very sweet and engaging. I'm home all the time, so I have a ton of spare time for pet sitting and spending time with you dogs. I will be with your dog the whole time I have one fur son to keep your fur babies company! I also live around the corner from a trail that I like to walk daily and can bring your fur babies

About: 2 years ago I got my first dog, Taro, as a puppy of not even 2 months. Since then, I've immersed myself in dog training and constantly get compliments on how well-behaved my dog is. In the middle of the COVID pandemic I took some time while my classes were remote to learn and travel. One of such experiences was a 3 month stay in North Carolina with a family who had raised a number of award-winning, hunting dogs and had just adopted 2 new puppies for training. In that time I learned alot about dog obedience and good manners training. I believe my unique experiences with dogs the last nearly 2 years set me apart from a standard pet carer. I'm willing to walk dogs who have difficulties with pulling on the leash or jumping on strangers during walks. If given a regular schedule with your dog and your permission to use training treats I would be happy to help your dog improve on these problem behaviors. *Note* *I would not be bringing mine or any other client dogs on any scheduled client walks unless you give permission to. When Taro was a puppy I would sometimes take him on walks with well-behaved, older dogs to get him socialized to other dogs. If this is something you'd like me to work on with your dog that can be discussed* I have generally open availability. I walk my own dog twice day with some longer walks reserved for training sessions. I am available after 4pm most weekdays and as needed on weekends. To the specifications of the owner. I take great care to not disrupt the life of my client pup too much just because their parents are out of town.

“Daniel was great! Sent lots of pictures and even gave a bath. I would recommend him to anyone!”

“Sofia was AMAZING!! My boys had a blast and she always kept us updated with pictures. We will 100% be using her again in the future for our boarding needs!”

About: I have had dogs of every shape, size and disposition for 50 years. I have been fostering rescue dogs for 20 years. I don’t think I will ever not have a dog in my life. I am retired so home pretty much 24/7. I have 2 dogs of my own so am available anytime. I enjoy gardening so prefer to be home. I have a fenced yard with doggie door. I walk the dogs beside giving them free rein in house and yard. I have numerous doggie beds for their comfort along with furniture to sleep on!

About: Stories of my childhood include all types of animals. From the labrodor who sat with me in a kiddy pool to the cats who just wouldn't stop having kittens! I'd love to take care of your animal as though they were my own. I began petsitting at sixteen, and was hired during summers by families while they were away on vacation. I've helped my family care for over ten dogs throughout my lifetime, and cared for a cat and a dog in my own household recently. I also have a natural curiosity of animal science which resulted in a few veterinarian training classes during high school. My current job with a non-profit organization allows for flexible hours, and I hope to be able to care for your pets in any way you need! I work and take care of my son from home most of the time. This allows me to give attention to your animals throughout the day as needed! We have a great back yard that I can take your dog on a walk through and plenty of sidewalks around if they need a longer walk.

About: Certified in pet first aid. Experienced in caring for diabetic dogs requiring blood sugar testing and insulin. Fantastic at understanding happy and unhappy canine behaviors. I am self-employed, so it is very easy for me to schedule around others schedules. I enjoy being home with my fur babies, so I always have availability. I have a big fenced in yard and I do not have any neighbors. My home is surrounded by woods. My small dogs are very happy to have playmates come over.

About: I have been raised around and have been rescuing animals all my life! To use the word passionate to describe myself would be an understatement. My experience with animals has been nothing short of amazing, from birthing farm animals, to rescuing dogs and cats from terrible situations, I have seen it all, and working in Vet med and animal shelters has been what’s driven me even more to just simply be kind and love all those who are more than deserving of it. I started Rover as a side gig but it’s turned into something much more rewarding for me. Booking with me, I can guarantee your pets will get treated the exact way I treat mine (which may be a little too spoiled) haha! I always make the time for not only my personal pets but yours as well! They would have plenty of daily exercise and Enrichment! ☺️ We would be going on plenty of walks and getting to go on many field trips with my personal dog as well! I always make sure to provide enough enrichment and stimulation throughout the day through various activities!

“Kolby is responsive to requests, follows feeding and visiting instructions to a T, and is developing a rapport with my kitty - thank you, Kolby!”

About: I have had cats and dogs growing up.

I do also put my cats in a backpack when going for walks

“Chloe has sat for me multiple times now, and she's always been a delight! I'm very protective of my baby kitty, and when I have to leave him for a few days, I know she's going to take great care of him!”

About: I've been around animals my entire life. I had 2 dogs and a cockatiel growing up that I helped care for. I have personally owned dogs, rats, fish, rabbits, chickens and ducks. I also used to foster small animals for a local rescue and have found fantastic homes for over 50 small animals. I work a few hours a day from home so I have plenty of time to interact and take care of your pets & fur babies. I'm available most days and nights. I am self-employed and work from home so I can take care of your pets needs at any time of the day since my schedule is flexible. I personally have 2 dogs, a rabbit, chickens and ducks at my home so there are plenty of things to help keep your pets occupied and happy. I also used to foster small animals for a rescue I helped out with. My yard is unfenced, but I live on a quiet street and have an open area across from my home to play fetch or throw a frisbee with your dogs and mine. In regards to caring for pets in your own home I follow any directions you give me for food/treat schedules, how often they need to go outside, things your pets can and cannot do, etc.

About: I've owned cats since I was a child, but I first started working with them in a more professional setting when I started volunteering at the Hornell Humane Society. Since 2023 I've rescued 6 cats, and have successfully found loving homes for all of them. It all started with a young grey tabby cat named Katherine, who currently lives with my mothers partner. Last summer I recused a litter of 5 kittens, 3 boys and 2 girls. I hand raised them from 4 weeks until I found them good homes. I currently own 2 cats, 2 girls named Juniper and Olive Oil! Both were adopted from the Hornell Humane Society in late 2024.

About: I have an orange tabby, and a grey and white tabby, who are the lights of my life! I have lots of experience cleaning/scooping litter boxes, preparing special or unique meals, providing enriching play time, and administering medication. I have two male cats who have both required various types of medications which I have administered myself.

About: **More then happy to negotiate prices** I have taken care of dogs, cats, and some barn animals since 2016 (or before that!). I have worked in the veterinary field since 2021; receptionist, boarding team, assistant, and manager. I am certified to do therapy exercises with dogs and similar pets. I have experience with medically complex/special needs pets. One of my current dogs are dog-selective and I have had fear-free training, which makes me comfortable with animals who need behavioral accommodations. I am comfortable medicating pets (oral, topical, and injectable). I do work full time, but when ever I am not at work and I am able to take care of more animals I will! As long as our schedules match I can care for your pet. I do not have the ability to care for pets in my house. But in your home I can follow any rules/schedules to make sure your pet is comfortable, medically taken care of, and happy! I am comfortable using the following tools: crates, harness, gentle leaders, prong collars, training collars, and different procedures required for medication administration.

“Lucinda did an amazing job taking care of our little guy! She was very kind and always gave us updates! Would highly recommend!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I provide personalized care for every pet, including puppy training reinforcement, senior pet support, medication administration, exercise, playtime, and consistent communication with owners through updates and photos. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine because I work full time with dogs and have over four years of hands-on experience. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, and providing attentive, reliable care every day. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages. My experience working full time with dogs for over four years has helped me become confident with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments.

About: I have lived and cared for dogs and cats for over 10 years. Presently, I am a proud dad/owner of two agility-trained border collies. I am a caring, enthusiastic and animal-loving young professional (resident physician) who enjoys giving dogs what they need most - physical activity and mental stimulation. My home base is Rochester, NY, although I am a resident physician with the University at Buffalo; so, I am either commuting between Rochester and Buffalo or staying at my second residence in Buffalo (when needed). I am open to caring for pets in the Rochester and Buffalo areas, as well as anywhere in between. My schedule changes approximately every two weeks. Not often are there opportunities for me to consistently help during the daytime on weekdays. I could only be available for drop ins or walks during the daytime on weekdays on a per diem basis. I can be most helpful for someone who works night shifts, as I would be able to help with your best friend either in the morning or evening. With affection, attention, drive to understand one another, playfulness, and mutual respect. Having cared for and trained two border collies (both behaviorally and in agility), I understand most dogs’ needs and am open to even more. I am flexible in my approach to interacting with dogs and trust their owners/parents to let me know what they feel is best. I like to play multiple games for mental and physical stimulation but also following up with downtime to ease transitions.

“She came to my house to meet my dog and answered my questions before the doggie day care service I was coordinating. Everyone went smoothly the day of, and Emily sent me pics and videos of my puppy playing with her dogs. He was well taken care of and I could tell he enjoyed himself. She was always very prompt in hey messaging with me. I would use Emily again in the future.”

About: I am a retired teacher who has had pets my whole life. My own children are grown and I am out of the classroom and thrive on taking care of beloved pets - my own and others. I am a hiker and enjoy having canine company when I walk. I will treat your family members with safe, loving kindness. I am involved with rescue work. Both of my dogs are rescues. My Cocker Spaniel was rescued after spending 6 years as a breeder in a puppy mill. I look at each dog I encounter as an individual with their own unique needs based on their temperament and background. This means that I am flexible when dealing with pups. I love cats but don't have one of my own because one of my dogs is reactive to them. I take care of friends' cats in their own homes. I am retired and have a very flexible schedule. I have the freedom to arrange my schedule according to the needs of the dogs in my home. I have a fenced in tard and two friendly dogs to keep your dog comfortable. My dogs are never left unattended even in the fenced in yard. I am always out with them when they are out. I am an experienced foster of dogs recently released from puppy mills. These dogs are flight risks so safety is always my first concern with any dog in my care. I use the two leash protocol when walking dogs. I will only board dogs when i do not have a foster dog.

“Abigail is wonder. She has worked with our pup Oakley and within 2 training sessions she’s acting like a different dog. I highly recommend Abigail to anyone that is reluctant on leaving their pup anywhere, she’s the best.”

Kim H.

“I was doing a 10 mile hike at Letchworth which is too long for my puppy to hike. Emma lives very close to the hiking trailhead so dropping off my dog was very convenient. Emma and her pup were wonderful hosts. My dog seemed very happy to be there for doggy daycare. Great value for the price. I will definitely book again.”

About: Albeit having no years of 'professional' caring, I have been a dog and cat mom all of my life. Since I was born my family has had 2-3 dogs and 5-6 cats at a time on our farm, and I raised, trained and took care of all of them myself since my parents were not too big on animals. The sole reason we had so many is because we lived on a farm and I adored them. Every year of my life I have cared for at least one animal or another, ever since I was in grade school. For cats and dogs alike, I myself used to bathe them, feed them, groom them and take them to the vet if they were sick. As of right now, I have no animals to look after, so I would love to put those skills to good use. This being said, I have ample experience with animals, and I adore them. I have babysat animals for my friends several times, always without incident. I understand their signs and needs, have plenty of patience and can be gentle but firm when needed. I treat them as if they were my own children. I am also a trained emergency service medical provider, so I know how to perform first aid and lifesaving measures if need be (not that it will ever be needed, don't worry!). I am flexible with the services I provide: if your pet has any special needs/medications that they need to take/any sicknesses, or anything else, inform me and I will be happy to babysit for them and care for them for as long as you need! Some of the services I can provide include but are not limited to: bathing, walking, training, and cuddling! I will treat your babies with love and kindness while you're away! Rest assured, they will be in good, trained hands. I currently work from home, and would have no problem going on walks or playing games such as fetch to tire out high energy dogs! I already have a daily routine with my own dog, which consists of taking him on regular potty breaks, brushing his teeth, and playing games to tire him out if its too cold to go on walks outside! We have a yard thats not fenced in, but have lines and long leashes to take your fur baby outside! There is one senior dog, one younger dog, and to cats all to give company to your pet! Both dogs are very friendly, and the cats mostly keep to themselves in the room. The dogs will always be in my sight, so that we can hang out, play, and I can tend to their needs! There are plenty of toys to share, plenty of treats to go around (unless stated otherwise) and plenty of friends to play with.

About: I have had dogs of every shape, size and disposition for 50 years. I have been fostering rescue dogs for 20 years. I don’t think I will ever not have a dog in my life. I am retired so home pretty much 24/7. I have 2 dogs of my own so am available anytime. I enjoy gardening so prefer to be home. I have a fenced yard with doggie door. I walk the dogs beside giving them free rein in house and yard. I have numerous doggie beds for their comfort along with furniture to sleep on!

About: Hi! I’m Tawny — a lifelong pet owner and dedicated animal caretaker with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses of all sizes. My life truly revolves around animals. At home, I care for my three large dogs, three horses, and two barn cats (who are just as spoiled as the rest!). I also have a boarder horse, Irish, who has been in my daily care for over four years, and I regularly care for pets belonging to family and friends. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether you’re looking for reliable dog walking, drop-in visits, or in-home pet care, my goal is to provide consistent, attentive care while giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I offer: • Dog walking for all breeds and sizes • Drop-in visits (days, nights, and weekends) • At-home care for dogs (with up-to-date vaccinations and dog-friendly temperament) • Cat and horse care I do my absolute best to replicate your pet’s normal routine and care exactly as you would. During visits, I provide thoughtful updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. As a self-proclaimed “helicopter dog mom,” I’m very detail-oriented — I check gates, crates, trash lids, counters, and anything that could pose a safety concern before leaving your pet alone. I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely passionate about animal care. I would be honored to care for your pets as if they were my own and would love to become your go-to sitter or dog walker. I am offering drop-in visits and dog walking days/nights/weekends during the winter months (Nov-March). I also offer at home care for pups, as long as proper vaccinations are provided, and dog is friendly with others! I will do my absolute best to replicate the owner’s care during my shift. I will also provide photos if requested! I’m a helicopter dog mom/care-taker…so before leaving, I will do a walkthrough of the area to ensure pets will be safe when no one is home. I will check trash can lids, make sure no food or anything that could potentially be harmful is on the counter(s), and I will be sure to check that safety gates and crates are secured.

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs since I was twelve and have been a dog walker on and off for many years. I have experience with all sorts of dogs and have never met a dog I don’t like! I work from home and take my own dog out for walks twice daily. I live near both Dorey Park and Chimborazo and try to get to the dog park regularly. I can fit your dog into this schedule, providing them plenty of exercise and socializing. I have a beautiful fenced-in yard (almost an acre) great for zoomies, chasing squirrels and sunbathing. I have a large crate for dogs that need it and a dog-friendly house with a doggie door. Since I work from home your dogs will rarely be left alone.

About: I have raised and cared for my families dogs as well as my own personal pets since I was a child. From puppy days to senior life, I have experienced it all and have enjoyed every moment of it. For me, having dogs around is a must! I currently work 4 days a week at a brewery in Rochester. I am available for walks and check-ins Tuesday/Wed all day, Thursday-Friday 8am-11am. Sunday's are open and negotiable as well! I enjoy spending time outside (park, trails, yard) with the active dogs, and talked to/petting the lazy/sleepy ones while they lounge inside. I live close to some wonderful parks, and enjoy throwing a ball around or just taking a stroll.

About: I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve trained hunting dogs and worked with service dogs, so I’m comfortable handling everything from high-energy working breeds to senior dogs that need a little extra care. I am CPR trained and take safety very seriously. My property offers 45 acres of space for exercise, fresh air, and supervised play. I treat every dog like part of the family and make sure their routine, feeding schedule, and comfort needs are followed closely. Whether your dog needs structure, activity, or just a safe and relaxing place to stay, they will receive dependable, attentive care while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I am home frequently and structure my day around feeding, exercise, to ensure dogs receive consistent attention and care. With plenty of outdoor space and a flexible schedule, I can provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and personalized care throughout the day. I also limit bookings so each dog gets the time and attention they deserve. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and supervised environment on 45 acres of property with plenty of room for exercise and fresh air. Dogs are always monitored during outdoor time, and I follow each pet’s normal feeding and care routine closely. I am experienced with all breeds, including high-energy and working dogs, and I am CPR trained. If needed, I can separate dogs, provide quiet rest areas, according to the owner’s preferences to ensure every dog feels safe and secure.

“Calli was great with our dog, we dropped her off for just 6 or so hours and Calli was warm & welcoming to our slightly anxious dog. Would definitely recommend her service and will use again in the future if we ever are in the area again!”

About: Our pets are family, and it can be scary sometimes when you don't know who is caring for them while you're gone. Under my care, I treat every fur baby like they were my fur baby. I grew up living with dogs, a Bichon Frise and a Pit Bull, which taught me how to communicate and care for dogs of all sizes and dogs breeds with separation anxiety. I'm pretty active and am currently training for the NYC 2022 Marathon, so I love to run/walk with my dog Casper. About a year ago, Casper and I moved in with my partner Victor and his 2 cats, Jewel & Scarlett, in Rushville, New York. Initially, we were nervous about introducing them so we started slow by keeping them in separate rooms with a gate. Once they became more comfortable and curious about each other (more on the cats end), we took the gate down after a couple days. It was a seamless living transition if there ever was one. Now all 3 love hanging out on the play mat together with their toys or taking naps nearby each other. We're looking for more furry friends to keep them company and to nap together! Our house is quite spacious with a large open living and family room for lots of play time and nap time. We have plenty of treats and running water fountain for dogs and cats. Our house has a huge front & backyard (not fenced) to run around on leash. When it snows, we love making dog trails around our property because what dog doesn't love to run in the snow! And I'm very experienced in putting on dog boots if needed. Lastly, we are a 15-20 minute walk to Canandaigua Lake, and live 3 minutes from Bare Hill. Currently, Victor and I are started a small business that will be launching this Spring. We work from home Monday-Friday and make our own hours so we are flexible. And I'm available on the weekends and any last minute bookings. Before any booking, I would like to set up a Meet & Greet to learn what I need to best care for your fur baby(ies) and to make sure Casper and your dog(s) get along (Doggy Day Care). The dates I'm currently unavailable are July 8-24, 2022 and Sept 1-5, 2022. My Home: spacious living and family rooms for dogs to run around, a play mat area with toys, and plenty of space to bring your dog's bed so he/she feels comfortable and at home. We have plenty of treats and running water fountain for both dogs and cats. Outside, we have a huge front and backyard, although it is not fenced, still a lot of space to run around on leash. And if your dog loves to run, he/she is welcomed to join our running pack. We're a 15-20 min walk to Canandaigua Lake, and a 3 minute drive to Bare Hill Unique Area. Your Home: I will request a Meet & Greet before booking, and would like to do an initial house visit to learn where the pet food, toys and cleaning supplies are located. Along with learning if your pet has any special needs like medication. I will be a respectful guest in your home and make sure your fur baby(ies) are loved and cared for while you are away.

About: My family always had border collies growing up. I also used to help out at a collie kennel when the owner was traveling. I am open to dogs that are kid-friendly. My husband and I both work full-time and are gone from 8 am to 5 pm. I am available on weekends to take care of your dog. My yard is fenced in and we are a family of five who will give your dog lots of attention and be sure to get it outside for some exercise.

About: I've been on Rover for years and have enjoyed meeting multiple pets and their owners! I provide visits, house sitting and dog walking all for a good price. I like to do meet and greets before each visit to learn how I can best suit your needs as well as your pets needs. Thank you in advance for choosing me I am excited to get to know you and your pets!!! I'm currently focusing all my time to Rover in order to build relationships and clients. I am free any day of the week including weekends and most holidays! I care for other peoples pets as if they were my own. I like to meet with the owner/owners before hand to get an idea of how they would like me to care for their pets!

About: I have been taking care of dogs and pets since I was a young kid. I have also grown up with dogs in the house so I am very experienced with how to care and supervise any pets. My parents dog (that I have spent many years caring for) requires a lot of attention and supervision so I am used to giving pets lots of extra care! All dogs have their own personalities, quirks and characteristics. I have experience caring for all dogs, whether it be size, age or personality. I also am able to happily follow any specific instructions (including feeding, medications, etc..) you give me as I also have experience with different needs. I have a very flexible schedule so I am able to offer very attentive care to your dog. I am a student but most of my courses are currently online, giving me lots of time to spend with your pet(s). When I am caring for pets, whether it be in my home or a clients home, I always try to make the pets feel as comfortable and happy as they can be! I do my absolute best to make sure all the pets needs are met and more. I love to entertain any playfulness or energy that they have!

About: I've had pet grooming and boarding positions for the last 15 years, as well as, intermittent day-care, walking, and in-home sitting positions. It's really just been full of a lot of pet loving! I've also had large dogs, regular sized cats, reptiles, rodents, and fish my whole life, so I know how to handle just about anything. With my years of experience, I've acquired many skills that will allow me to do all that I can to make sure your pet is comfortable, safe, and happy with me! I'm currently an Assistant Professor of Biology in Alfred, so my schedule is very open and flexible, especially over the summer. I'm also very professional, hardworking, and reliable. I would love to hang out with your pet for the day! I hope to hear from you very soon! I currently work full-time, but my hours are flexible. I am free evenings and weekends, but can still do drop-ins and short walks during the workday. My pets, a cat and two geckos, are spoiled rotten. Cat toys litter my living room floor, so there is no shortage for things to play with. When entering a client's home for a drop-in or to walk the dog, I aim to leave as little evidence of my being there as possible. I follow the directions laid out by the owner and clean up after myself.

“Caitlyn has been great with our Rori! She is very flexible and accommodating!”

About: I've been in the pet care industry for around 3 years. I discovered my passion for animals when I got my first dog as an adult, a golden retriever named Molly. I found my calling and I never looked back. Since then I've volunteered with the Hornell Humane Society, taken on pet sitting clients and am currently being mentored by Ash Osborn, the head trainer at the Pawsitive Pups Academy. I'm also a student studying The Social Approach, a course by dog trainers Amy Cook, PHD, and Josefin Linderström of Canine Consilience.

About: Growing up I’ve always had a pet, whether it was a dog, cat, reptile, hamster, bunny, etc. The past experience I have is from ages 10 weeks-12 years old. I’m up for any task and have no trouble walking dogs who pull. I use a harness for one of my pups and he is always comfortable walking with me. I currently work full-time but have a flexible schedule. I have two dogs of my own but have help with them. Can always adjust schedule as needed. I treat every pet the way I would want someone to treat my pet. I don’t neglect and I listen to rules very carefully. I’m a very trustworthy person and can even send hourly updates on your furry friend!

About: Grew up with a Labrador retriever from the time I was nine until I turned twenty-one. Have always been a dog lover, I pet sit and help my friends local to me with letting them outside, sitting with them so they don't have to be in a cage all day, and loving them as my own. Pet care is included in my daily routine, feeding my cats twice a day, cleaning their litter boxes, brushing them out, and playing with them is my favorite part of my days. I will treat each animal in my care as my own. They will be happy and loved while you can't be there. Cannot wait to meet them!

About: Experience & What Sets Me Apart I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing calm companionship. I also have basic dog training experience, including reinforcing simple commands, leash manners, and positive behavior using positive reinforcement. What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and responsible approach. I understand that every pet is different — some need active play, while others need a quiet and stress-free environment. I take the time to build trust and help dogs feel confident and comfortable. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, pay close attention to routines and behavior, and provide regular updates for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I always make time for animals and enjoy spending quality time with them. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive attention, care, and companionship without rushing. I provide a safe, calm, and positive environment for pets, whether in my home or in the client’s home. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and pay close attention to each pet’s needs, behavior, and comfort. I make sure all interactions are safe, positive, and beneficial. I respect routines, keep pets supervised, and focus on building trust through calm communication and gentle care.

“Aracely let out and fed my puppy midday for 2 months until the end of my school year. She took great care of my little guy. There were two times that she canceled morning of and, with that late notice, I was not able to leave work or get anyone else to take him out. I understand life happens but my little guy did go to the bathroom in his crate both of those days. If I could give 4 1/2 stars, I would!”

I have had animals ever since I was young cats, dogs, rodents, fish, and even chickens at my father's home.

About: I've fostered a variety of dogs and puppies of different ages for many years. I have also dog sat for friends before and am reliable. I’ve had dogs all my life, so know how to take care of them in every stage of their life. I'm currently working part time, so I will be available to play with your pets and fulfill their needs. I always make sure my dogs are well taken care of and exercised. I always go outside with the animals so they won't run away and so I can keep an eye on them. I also walk dogs to get some exercise and play with them. I make sure to give them a lot of attention.

About: I've been dog sitting for ten years and have had dogs my entire life. I provide daily walks, check-ins, in-home sitting and overnight sitting in my home for your pets. I have experience working with dogs of all breeds and ages. I can assist with potty training puppies. I can administer medication if needed. I have also handled dogs that pull or jump. I also can do nail trimming and baths. I enjoy spending time with dogs and find their personalities to be very sweet and engaging.

About: 2 years ago I got my first dog, Taro, as a puppy of not even 2 months. Since then, I've immersed myself in dog training and constantly get compliments on how well-behaved my dog is. In the middle of the COVID pandemic I took some time while my classes were remote to learn and travel. One of such experiences was a 3 month stay in North Carolina with a family who had raised a number of award-winning, hunting dogs and had just adopted 2 new puppies for training. In that time I learned alot about dog obedience and good manners training. I believe my unique experiences with dogs the last nearly 2 years set me apart from a standard pet carer. I'm willing to walk dogs who have difficulties with pulling on the leash or jumping on strangers during walks. If given a regular schedule with your dog and your permission to use training treats I would be happy to help your dog improve on these problem behaviors. *Note* *I would not be bringing mine or any other client dogs on any scheduled client walks unless you give permission to. When Taro was a puppy I would sometimes take him on walks with well-behaved, older dogs to get him socialized to other dogs. If this is something you'd like me to work on with your dog that can be discussed* I have generally open availability. I walk my own dog twice day with some longer walks reserved for training sessions. I am available after 4pm most weekdays and as needed on weekends. To the specifications of the owner. I take great care to not disrupt the life of my client pup too much just because their parents are out of town.

“Daniel was great! Sent lots of pictures and even gave a bath. I would recommend him to anyone!”

“Sofia was AMAZING!! My boys had a blast and she always kept us updated with pictures. We will 100% be using her again in the future for our boarding needs!”

About: I have had dogs of every shape, size and disposition for 50 years. I have been fostering rescue dogs for 20 years. I don’t think I will ever not have a dog in my life. I am retired so home pretty much 24/7. I have 2 dogs of my own so am available anytime. I enjoy gardening so prefer to be home. I have a fenced yard with doggie door. I walk the dogs beside giving them free rein in house and yard. I have numerous doggie beds for their comfort along with furniture to sleep on!

About: Stories of my childhood include all types of animals. From the labrodor who sat with me in a kiddy pool to the cats who just wouldn't stop having kittens! I'd love to take care of your animal as though they were my own. I began petsitting at sixteen, and was hired during summers by families while they were away on vacation. I've helped my family care for over ten dogs throughout my lifetime, and cared for a cat and a dog in my own household recently. I also have a natural curiosity of animal science which resulted in a few veterinarian training classes during high school. My current job with a non-profit organization allows for flexible hours, and I hope to be able to care for your pets in any way you need! I work and take care of my son from home most of the time. This allows me to give attention to your animals throughout the day as needed! We have a great back yard that I can take your dog on a walk through and plenty of sidewalks around if they need a longer walk.

About: Certified in pet first aid. Experienced in caring for diabetic dogs requiring blood sugar testing and insulin. Fantastic at understanding happy and unhappy canine behaviors.

I have a big fenced in yard and I do not have any neighbors. My home is surrounded by woods. My small dogs are very happy to have playmates come over.
