“Ryan went above and beyond was expected. I got update pics and even a call just letting me know my pup was doing great. Maverick received dinner and breakfast exactly as instructed. He even got to visit the dog park (and yes I was ask before of that would be okay to do). Would highly recommend.”
“Lily took great care of our senior dog Norman! She and her family kept in great contact with us, and met our little guy at his energy level - providing cuddles, soft beds, and calm outdoor time, but also willing to take him out for more adventures when he was up for it. They made sure he integrated well with their sweet dog. We'd absolutely her to watch him again!”
“Great experience from beginning to end. It was our first time leaving Gigi with a sitter. Dew kept us updated and sent photos, which was a great comfort to us. Will definitely use her again.”
“Christina was absolutely wonderful with my Hughie! She sent me pictures and videos every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Hughie looked so happy, relaxed, and playful—he even made some new doggy friends during his stay! It was clear that he was treated like part of the family and really enjoyed himself. I highly recommend Christina and will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I am a Vet Tech full-time with hands-on experience working around dogs in both grooming and veterinary settings. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, including those who require extra patience or medical attention. I provide loving, reliable, and attentive care while keeping pet parents updated so they always feel at ease and informed. I currently work a full time job as a vet tech in a local general practice, if I’m pet sitting I’m allow to take them with me, where they are going to be loved for everyone working there. I’m off Tuesday, Thursdays and saturdays afternoon and Sunday all day, mon-wed-Friday work 9-5 My location is 2min from a dog park where I walk my own pets everyday. I’ll always use leash walking them. Also I’ll be sending pictures to owners every day to keep owners informed
“Kylo had a great stay with Anner! He was really accommodating of some hectic scheduling for the meet and greet, and we were able to see that Kylo would be comfortable for his stay ahead of time. Anner sent videos and some photos while we were away of Ky enjoying the yard and playing with other pups. When we picked Kylo up, he seemed like he had a great time! Thanks, Anner, for taking great care of our slightly older, very goofy boy!”
“Saori took fantastic care of our large doodle Toby for two weeks while we were traveling. We received daily updates with pictures and videos, which was really great. Toby had so much fun and will be going back next time we travel. I highly recommend Saori to anyone who needs a skilled and kind person to care of their pet.”
“Rachael was helpful, communicative, trustworthy and responsive - she made the process a breeze and took great care of our dog. Everyday I was sent photos of her running, playing, exploring and having fun. Pepper even came back with sharpened training — I will be booking again and again!”
“Carrigan is a lovely young woman with a dog whisperer touch. Puppy Sammy immediately sat at her feet as we were preparing to leave her driveway for an overnight trip — his first stay outside of our home/with a non family member EVER. I was worried that he may not take well to the situation, but he adjusted quickly, and Carrigan took him on several long walks which exercised him and tired him out. I recommend Carrigan highly!”
“Kathryn took such good care of Marley! She sent me updates every day and pictures! So happy to have found such a reliable, flexible, and easy to communicate with sitter for our fur baby!”
“Irene was awesome, very good vibes, a peaceful home setting & my Shih Tzu loved staying with her, playing in her big enclosed yard & going on walks with her, etc. while we were on our family cruise. My fur baby was in good hands with her & I'll definitely board her with Irene the next time we go away!”
“Barkley had a great time staying with Andrea ! Barkley enjoyed playing outdoors and with other pups while I traveled . I had great peace of mind knowing that she was well cared for by Andrea ! Sylvia L.”
“Laura,Carolina, and Enrique took excellent care of my dog Daisy. They sent me photos of her stay every day. They also gave Daisy her daily meds. I will definitely have them dog sit Daisy in the future.”
“Kya had the best time with Tina and Troy! Tina gave her the best care and sent pictures and videos of her having the best stay! Thank you so much for making sure Kya had a great stay and for making us feel so comfortable! 10/10 Recommend!”
“Rocco and I had a pre event meet and greet with Nicole which went great. Nicole has a wonderful fenced back yard which is set up for her dogs and guests. Rocco was immediately comfortable and explored the yard with Nicole’s other dogs. Nicole herself is very knowledgeable about dogs and sensitive to their needs. I dropped Rocco off for an unexpected stay and received updates from Nicole twice a day. Apparently Nicole’s home is over night camp for dogs. Rocco came back happy but tired. (Not unlike my kids when they were young). I would recommend Nicole without hesitation.”
“Melissa is a thoughtful and caring dog-sitter. She told me she loves dogs and it show in all her actions when she dog sat my labradoodle. She read him very well and met his emotional needs.”
“What a wonderful stay and experience! Hazard is super friendly and very detail oriented. She’s very responsive with communication as well. We had a meet and greet before hand and the first stay for my pups couldn’t have been better! My dogs really enjoyed their time at Hazard’s house. We received lots of photos and videos. And we loved the report card at the end of the day! Thank you! We have another booking set already!”

“Alex is an absolute gem of a pet sitter! She has taken incredible care of my cat, Obake, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Alex won him over with patience, kindness, and lots of playtime. I always come home to a happy, relaxed cat and daily updates from Alex that make me feel totally at ease while I’m away. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with Obake — Alex is simply the best! 🐾💛”
“She was attentive and sent great pictures. I was very lucky to have had Lovely watch and care for my fur babies. I was so nervous and after the second check in my heart and nerves were at ease. I would definitely booked her again, I am so grateful for all her help.”
“Anna took really great care of my cat. I can tell she has a genuine interest in the wellbeing of animals. She even sent a photo during her visit which put me at ease. Would definitely use again!”
“Lanie saved us at the last minute when our usual sitter wasn’t available. She went above and beyond to communicate updates, accommodate special requests, and more. Thank you for the excellent care, Lanie!”
“Nicky was great with our two large dogs. The older one, 10, has always been very suspicious of new people, but Nicky cracked the code! Definitely a true dog lover. We will definitely use her services again when needed.”
“We feel very fortunate to have found Kimberly to look after our daughter’s cat while we were away visiting family during Christmas week. Kimberly did a drop in visit at our house each day, and sent daily pics to our daughter - which she really appreciated. The cat got to stay at home, we had daily contact and peace of mind, and at a much lower cost than a kennel or cat hotel. A real win-win. Thanks so much, Kimberly !”
“Delphine provided excellent cat sitting services for Bill. She sent frequent updates and photos, keeping me reassured throughout. Bill was clearly well-cared for and happy in her care. Highly recommend!”
About: I have experience cat-sitting, volunteering at animal shelters, and caring for pets of my own for many years. I’ve also undergone shelter-officiated training on cat body language and behavior designed to assist with cat socialization and behavioral training.
About: I have cared for cats since childhood and have had a lovely long-haired cat in the past. They receive attention to suit their particular needs and what is comfortable for them. I respect and adapt to each cat.
About: I have had dogs, cats, puppies in my life since I was born. I have had the pleasure of training all types of dogs in many different areas. When I was younger my family used to always take trips up to Marthas Vineyard, we always had to leave our dogs at a kennel which we realized later on was not the best thing to do for our dogs. Emotionally/mentally we could tell it had taken a toll on them, so we started leaving them home with Pet Sitters. That was the best decision we had made. I want to be able to provide the same love and care that our pet sitters have provided in the past, but for your pet! Im currently working privately as a Personal Trainer and a Hypnotherapist Practitioner so my schedule is quite flexible. I also offer Reiki for both people and pets (Dogs, Cats, Horses)!!! I don’t typically board pets but would be willing to work with someone if the situation was right. I am also willing and able to crate your pet if thats something you do in your home!
“Cam is attentive, proactive, and thorough. Our booking occurred during the blizzard, He stayed in constant contact and came to our rescue when we were stranded overseas. Cam is a gem. We will happily book with Cam in the future.”
About: I've spent years caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every pup like family. From energetic walks to calm companionship, I adapt to your dogs needs. I'm responsible, patient, and genuinely love what I do. Your pets safety and happiness always comes first. As a college student who is home for the summer. I have a pretty flexible schedule, I'm available morning, afternoons, and evenings - perfect for regular walks, drop-ins, or overnight care throughout the week. I care for pets in their home by sticking to their routine, give them lots of love, keep things clean, and ensure they feel safe and relaxed.
About: Our pets are a very special part of our families. They each have their own quirks and personalities, and they all bring so much love and joy to our lives. I will meet your pet’s needs, and spend time with them in the way they like the most. I have been a dog walker and pet care provider for 17 years now, and I still love my job! Each pet that I meet makes me smile. I like to think that I am able to give some of the happiness these animals bring to me, back to them. Over my 17 years of being a pet care provider, I have had experience with dogs of all different breeds, sizes and ages -from puppies to seniors. I am fully insured. I am willing to work with your pup on basic training, or put them in my car, for a short drive to a favorite walking area. If you need me to feed your dog or cat, please let me know. I can also spend time playing or cuddling with your dog or cat. When I am not enjoying the company of pets, I am drawing or painting pet portraits for commissions. I look forward to meeting your special pet. I will give them the activity, affection, and attention that is right for them. I am dependable, professional and most of all, caring. You can count on me to take good care of your pet, and you can feel confident, knowing that your pet is in exceptional hands, when you are not able to take care of them yourself. I have been walking dogs and taking care of pets during the day for 17 years now, and I spend my evenings drawing and painting pets for commissions as a pet portrait artist. It’s all about the animals with me! I would love to come to your home and walk your dog in your neighborhood, or perhaps drive them to a close by favorite walking area. Some dogs have invisible fence collars, and need to be driven off the property, or they live on busy streets, that are not safe streets to walk on. I can drive them to a quiet side street or a park, if you prefer. You can request a feeding, if you would like, and I could do a quick scan of the house for any unexpected accidents, and clean them up for you. I can do drop-in visit (15 minutes), or a full 30 minute walk or play in the yard. More time can be requested, if necessary. For cat care, I can clean the litter boxes, feed your cat/refresh their water, and play or cuddle with them. I can also take a quick scan of the house for messes for them also.
“Lorre & Antonio are superstars! They were so great with our cats and so thorough. Very communicative and sent so many drop-in pictures 2x daily. They were able to administer insulin injections to my diabetic cat which is a huge plus. They really kept on top of everything and the apartment was just how we left it (our Vicky is a messy eater who hairballs). They took the time to play and brush Louis & Victoria as well. I very highly recommend Lorre & Antonio. We will be booking them again for our future trips. Thanks so much again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and various other pets my whole adult life. I believe trust is the most important thing when it comes to leaving your pets with a sitter and I can assure you I will treat your pets like I would my own, with love and respect. Your dog will be staying in a family style boarding situation, where they get the love and attention from myself, my husband and our 2 children (7 and 10) who adore helping out with all the pups. We have a large fenced in back yard for lots of supervised running, playing and sniffing! I am trained in obedience training and can provide puppy socialization. Please reach out to me with any questions or to schedule a meeting! Boarding is always available. I am available weekdays after 8:30 am - 3:30 pm for walks, drop ins, puppy socialization or obedience training. I am fully available on the weekends for boarding, walking, drop-ins, puppy socialization and obedience training. I have 3 extremely friendly small dogs for your fur baby to play with or relax with. I strive to make the dogs that stay here comfortable and as stress free as possible.
“Dew goes above and beyond for my puppy. Checks in regularly when he is in her care and even checks in when he is at home. As a first time user of a dog-sitter, I was anxious about leaving my puppy in someone else’s care. Dew almost immediately alleviated my concerns. I feel like her care has been a major benefit for me and for my puppy’s social development. Will continue to take advantage of Dew’s services for the foreseeable future. Highly recommended!”
“I wish there was a 10 Star Designation for Kyle! From our Meet/Greet til just coming home from picking up King, Kyle was above/beyond - My dog King felt comfortable immediately with him & at drop off he didn’t even look back and came home Pleasantly tired - Team Kyle Rocks!”
“Irene has made my experience using Rover so easy and carefree. This is my first time leaving my dog, and she is extremely confident with her handling. I enjoy the pictures and updates she sends me throughout the day too!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child. I owned two Miniature Pinschers growing up and I adopted one Australian Shepherd mix that has special needs as an adult. I trained all of my dogs from the time they were puppies until they passed away as seniors. I also volunteered at the Humane Society of Westchester. I've always enjoyed being around animals since I was young and animals tend to feel the same way about me. Animals who are usually timid around strangers are comfortable around me right away and they seem to trust me right away. I feel like connecting with animals (dogs specifically) is a gift that I have. Being a sitter is a great way for me to use that gift in everyday life. I'm able to adapt to the normal routine of the pets that I'm sitting in order to make the process as smooth as possible. I don't have a lot of room in my studio apartment so I'm only able to watch either 1-2 small dogs or one medium sized dog. Large dogs are too big for my apartment. If I'm at a client's home, I'll change my schedule to meet the needs of the pet. I believe all animals are unique and all have different needs in order to thrive in the environment that they're in. I'm willing to meet those needs by building my schedule around the animals that I'm sitting.
About: I grew up in a dog-centric household, however I have taken care of my own dogs for the past 19 years. For the last 8 years, I've had the opportunity to foster dogs through different organizations, as well. It has been an extremely rewarding and educational experience with regards to learning about a multitude of different dogs and how best to deal with different dog personalities and what their mannerisms indicate. The foster dogs that I cared for ranged from puppies to senior dogs and included numerous different breeds. I've had dogs that were incredibly easy, as well as ones that were particularly difficult and high maintenance. These experiences have made me open to taking care of all types of dogs; I'm happy to help administer medicine, eye drops, insulin injections, etc. I've experienced it all! My schedule is flexible because I'm currently based from my home. This basically means that I'm available to provide care in whatever capacity needed beginning from late morning until the evening and any day Whenever a dog is my responsibility I make a point of giving them the care and attention that they require. I'm available to walk any pup beginning from late morning into the evening, including multiple times a day. I currently live in a house with 3 acres and a huge back yard with forest surrounding it, so it is not fenced. However, I'm more than happy to walk your dog if there's a fear that they will run into the forest. I'm also open to dog-sitting for anyone going on vacation! Our house is set up to accommodate dogs visiting and staying due to my previous fostering, which is how I came to have my two current dogs. Also, I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement to teach dogs acceptable behavior and manners, so no punishments that may traumatize or hurt the pup!
“Can’t recommend Andrea enough. My dogs aren’t away from me very much and can be scared and anxious with new sitters. I had to drop them off without a meet and greet because I was only in town for one day. The first day they stay with someone new, they usually don’t eat. The best indication that they were comfortable and at home with her is that they ate all the food I left. I would gladly leave them with her regularly if I lived nearby.”
“Very lucky to have found Laurie on here. She took excellent care of my 9 month old puppy Bella. I really appreciated the frequent photos and updates, they helped me feel at ease and confident that my pup was in great hands!”
“Highly recommend! My baby was well taken care of! Tinaclem was super friendly. When we arrived she introduced her dog with mine and brought them both to the back yard so she can get familiar with the yard and was very welcoming! Many walks and lots of pics for updates! ❤️My baby was pooped for days! She already misses Elvis! Sweet dog she has!”
“Luke was great with Ayden and Zeus. It was their first time being with another human, so had me a little worried but Luke was very responsive and took great care of them. They both came back happy :).”
About: Our business has been booming with referrals and friends/family requests. Since dogs bring so much joy to life, I am dedicating more time to open bookings to new pets. I am a dog lover for a lifetime. As a kid, I would care for strays. As an adult, I have had a dog in my life for the past 30 years- I have adopted 3 full grown, mature labs from various shelters and they all had a great, long life! My current Lab is our sitting “mascot” and she welcomes all dogs to our homestay center. She was an adoptee from an elderly couple. My young adult son & dog-lover is a great co-host to care for and play with your pet. Pets are like family here and they will be loved, cared for and respected. We will give play, attention, exercise, love and create a setting where your pet feels comfortable and not stressed. We should do a meet and greet with our dogs prior to first boarding. The yard here is fully fenced, but I only let dogs out in the yard with supervision. I will give walks/hikes, as you like. Your dog can sleep and hang-out in whatever area of the house is comfortable to him or her. If they prefer a crate, we can. If they prefer their own room, they can have my lower level finished room. If they like to mix it up with the family they can. We cater to your dog and help to diminish their stress and let them be themselves. If the pup is stressed and needs extra attention at night, they can sleep in the bedroom, ( sometimes on the bed, only if you allow that) . I have cared for multiple senior and special needs dogs, providing medication, and special care routines. We look forward to getting to know your loving pet and offering them a home away from home! Pet Care is a dominant share of our daily lives. Someone is here most of the day, so lots of interaction and attention is provided. If we run out , here or there ( as you would at home) each dog get’s their own space to hang-out. Dogs visiting from different families are only together, when supervised. My Home-Away-Vacay-Stay has a fully fenced yard with plenty of toys. Run of the house and cuddles with our family make your pup feel at home.
“Elaine was very accommodating to last minute schedule changes and took great care of my boy. I really appreciate receiving photos during the day. We will definitely be repeat customers.”
About: I have been caring for and grooming dogs and cats since I was 12 years old, and I am comfortable with both dogs and cats. I am always available for pet sitting, I work from home and I am more likely available for the weekdays and weekends to pet sit. I have a big yard that my two dogs love to run around in. My dogs are friendly and can keep your dogs company if you want and if not I can separate the dogs and they won’t have to interact with each otherr, and I have crates if needed.
“If there was a 10* Rating it would be Rich! From 1st Communication to Meet n Greet to Day Stay he was Aces all around - You could just know Rich has that Dog Whisperer Gift aka He Knows Dogs .. I know my dog - The King - Enjoyed Rich’s qt too Most def looking forward to more Rich Time”
About: Dogs are kind of my daily coworkers. I spend my days around animals of all types and personalities, so caring for pets feels second nature to me. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, from bouncy puppies who want to play nonstop to seniors who prefer a slower pace and extra TLC. Long walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention are my favorite parts of the job, and since I work from home, your dog will never be left alone or bored. I’m great at reading animal cues, keeping routines consistent, and making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved, basically treating them like my own. Important to note that during house sitting in the pet owner’s home, my dogs stay at home with my fiance (unless they are requested by owners for a play date) so I can still watch your pup if they’re better while not around other dogs! I work from home and I have two acres of property - your pet will not not be alone and can play with my two dogs! I care for pets by treating them like part of the household, whether they’re in my home or theirs. I stick closely to their normal routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and downtime, so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention through walks, play sessions, and lots of interaction throughout the day. Since I work from home, pets are rarely alone and always supervised. I’m attentive to individual needs, whether that’s extra play for high-energy dogs, gentle care for seniors, or patience and consistency for puppies. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they always know their pet is happy, safe, and having a great time.
“Val ( and family ) were absolutely amazing! We needed a last-minute booking for our dog, and she went above and beyond to accommodate us. Throughout the week, she sent lots of photos and videos, keeping us updated and reassured that our pup was happy and well cared for. It was clear she treated our dog like family, and we could tell how much love and attention she gave. We came home to a healthy, happy dog, and we’re so grateful for her exceptional care. Highly recommended, and we will absolutely use her again in the future!”

“Lana did such an amazing job walking our dog for several weeks while we were away this summer. She is a great communicator and took such fantastic care of our Lagotto. We would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and professional dog walker. Thank you Lana!”
About: Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I love everything from energetic puppies who need structure and consistency to senior dogs who require patience, gentler movement, and extra attention. Follow Ridgefield Wags & Walks on Instagram: RidgefieldWagsWalks Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule to allow plenty of time for walks, feedings, play, and check-ins without rushing, so dogs get consistent attention and care throughout the day. I’m used to planning my day around pets’ routines; morning and evening walks, regular feeding times, and dedicated play or quiet time depending on each dog’s needs. Because of this, I’m reliable with schedules and attentive to details like medication, special instructions, or preferred routines. Dogs in my care aren’t treated like appointments, they’re part of my daily rhythm. This allows me to be present, responsive, and flexible, ensuring each dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Safety and trust are always my top priorities across all services. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so care feels consistent and familiar. For walks, I provide 20+ minute walks focused on safety and enrichment. I use secure leashes or harnesses as instructed, stay aware of surroundings, and adjust pace and distance based on the dog’s age, energy level, and weather conditions. For check-ins (up to three per day), I ensure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive playtime and attention, and are monitored for any changes in behavior or well-being. These visits are never rushed, and I follow all care instructions closely. For pet sitting in your home, I care for pets in their familiar environment to minimize stress. I follow household routines closely, maintain cleanliness and security, respect the home, and ensure pets receive consistent care, companionship, and supervision. I’m attentive to safety, medication schedules if needed, and any special instructions, so pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I communicate regularly with updates and photos, giving you peace of mind throughout your time away.

“Today was Lanie’s first time walking our pups. After our initial meet and greet yesterday, I felt very comfortable and confident that she provides thoughtful care of the pets she cares for. She accommodated a 30 minute shift in plans, and spent a good amount of time with the boys. They were both very calm and content when I got home. Thank you!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life—I had my own dog for 10 years, and I now volunteer at a local animal shelter. Those experiences have taught me how to be patient, attentive, and tuned into each pet’s unique needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra care as a senior, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home My schedule is very open during the week, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency in their care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays Monday through Thursday. I do like to keep my weekends a bit more flexible for personal time, but I’m still open to bookings with advance notice. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to prioritize each pet’s needs throughout the day. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I stick closely to their usual routine—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I take time to build trust at their pace, especially with shy or anxious pets, and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to details like fresh water, clean feeding areas, and keeping their environment tidy. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.

We also have experience with caring for dogs with medical needs and senior care as our first dog together, Shawn, crossed over the rainbow bridge in the fall of 2024 after 11 years with us. Please note our overnight rate includes walks. While not available during weekdays, due to our work schedules, we would be happy to provide evening walks on weekdays, and overnight care and walking services on weekends, holidays, and school break time. We coordinate our shifts so that dogs are never left alone for long periods. This makes us a great fit for pets who prefer extra companionship or need more frequent potty breaks and attention. As lifelong dog owners and medical professionals, we bring both compassion and reliability to pet care. We know how important trust and communication are — we’ll send regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always our top priorities. We will be able to provide care directly in your home where your pet is most familiar and comfortable. We are also home owners ourselves and will be very respectful of your home and space.
About: Our pets are a very special part of our families. They each have their own quirks and personalities, and they all bring so much love and joy to our lives. I will meet your pet’s needs, and spend time with them in the way they like the most. I have been a dog walker and pet care provider for 17 years now, and I still love my job! Each pet that I meet makes me smile. I like to think that I am able to give some of the happiness these animals bring to me, back to them. Over my 17 years of being a pet care provider, I have had experience with dogs of all different breeds, sizes and ages -from puppies to seniors. I am fully insured. I am willing to work with your pup on basic training, or put them in my car, for a short drive to a favorite walking area. If you need me to feed your dog or cat, please let me know. I can also spend time playing or cuddling with your dog or cat. When I am not enjoying the company of pets, I am drawing or painting pet portraits for commissions. I look forward to meeting your special pet. I will give them the activity, affection, and attention that is right for them. I am dependable, professional and most of all, caring. You can count on me to take good care of your pet, and you can feel confident, knowing that your pet is in exceptional hands, when you are not able to take care of them yourself. I have been walking dogs and taking care of pets during the day for 17 years now, and I spend my evenings drawing and painting pets for commissions as a pet portrait artist. It’s all about the animals with me! I would love to come to your home and walk your dog in your neighborhood, or perhaps drive them to a close by favorite walking area. Some dogs have invisible fence collars, and need to be driven off the property, or they live on busy streets, that are not safe streets to walk on. I can drive them to a quiet side street or a park, if you prefer. You can request a feeding, if you would like, and I could do a quick scan of the house for any unexpected accidents, and clean them up for you. I can do drop-in visit (15 minutes), or a full 30 minute walk or play in the yard. More time can be requested, if necessary. For cat care, I can clean the litter boxes, feed your cat/refresh their water, and play or cuddle with them. I can also take a quick scan of the house for messes for them also.
About: I grew up in a dog-centric household, however I have taken care of my own dogs for the past 19 years. For the last 8 years, I've had the opportunity to foster dogs through different organizations, as well. It has been an extremely rewarding and educational experience with regards to learning about a multitude of different dogs and how best to deal with different dog personalities and what their mannerisms indicate. The foster dogs that I cared for ranged from puppies to senior dogs and included numerous different breeds. I've had dogs that were incredibly easy, as well as ones that were particularly difficult and high maintenance. These experiences have made me open to taking care of all types of dogs; I'm happy to help administer medicine, eye drops, insulin injections, etc. I've experienced it all! My schedule is flexible because I'm currently based from my home. This basically means that I'm available to provide care in whatever capacity needed beginning from late morning until the evening and any day Whenever a dog is my responsibility I make a point of giving them the care and attention that they require. I'm available to walk any pup beginning from late morning into the evening, including multiple times a day. I currently live in a house with 3 acres and a huge back yard with forest surrounding it, so it is not fenced. However, I'm more than happy to walk your dog if there's a fear that they will run into the forest. I'm also open to dog-sitting for anyone going on vacation! Our house is set up to accommodate dogs visiting and staying due to my previous fostering, which is how I came to have my two current dogs. Also, I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement to teach dogs acceptable behavior and manners, so no punishments that may traumatize or hurt the pup!
About: I have taken care of dogs and various other pets my whole adult life. I believe trust is the most important thing when it comes to leaving your pets with a sitter and I can assure you I will treat your pets like I would my own, with love and respect. Your dog will be staying in a family style boarding situation, where they get the love and attention from myself, my husband and our 2 children (7 and 10) who adore helping out with all the pups. We have a large fenced in back yard for lots of supervised running, playing and sniffing! I am trained in obedience training and can provide puppy socialization. Please reach out to me with any questions or to schedule a meeting! Boarding is always available. I am available weekdays after 8:30 am - 3:30 pm for walks, drop ins, puppy socialization or obedience training. I am fully available on the weekends for boarding, walking, drop-ins, puppy socialization and obedience training. I have 3 extremely friendly small dogs for your fur baby to play with or relax with. I strive to make the dogs that stay here comfortable and as stress free as possible.
About: I have watched over my three dogs alone for multiple weeks at a time over the course of several years and I have watched my neighbor’s dogs multiple times I am home for the summer so I have a lot of free time to spare. I want to use that time to take care of dogs given my flexible schedule I have multiple dogs to socialize with your dog and I have multiple security cameras, invisible fences, and a large yard for any puppy to run around at any time
“We had a great experience with Delphine! We were able to meet her in person and she instantly had a connection with Rosie. We have full confidence in Delphine and look forward to booking her again. Thanks!”
“Buster had a great time with Antonio today! Lorre and Antonio are very attentive and caring and pay attention to the small details. They’re also very communicative and keep you informed. Thank you much!”
About: Dogs are kind of my daily coworkers. I spend my days around animals of all types and personalities, so caring for pets feels second nature to me. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, from bouncy puppies who want to play nonstop to seniors who prefer a slower pace and extra TLC. Long walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention are my favorite parts of the job, and since I work from home, your dog will never be left alone or bored. I’m great at reading animal cues, keeping routines consistent, and making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved, basically treating them like my own. Important to note that during house sitting in the pet owner’s home, my dogs stay at home with my fiance (unless they are requested by owners for a play date) so I can still watch your pup if they’re better while not around other dogs! I work from home and I have two acres of property - your pet will not not be alone and can play with my two dogs! I care for pets by treating them like part of the household, whether they’re in my home or theirs. I stick closely to their normal routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and downtime, so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention through walks, play sessions, and lots of interaction throughout the day. Since I work from home, pets are rarely alone and always supervised. I’m attentive to individual needs, whether that’s extra play for high-energy dogs, gentle care for seniors, or patience and consistency for puppies. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they always know their pet is happy, safe, and having a great time.
About: I have had dogs, cats, puppies in my life since I was born. I have had the pleasure of training all types of dogs in many different areas. When I was younger my family used to always take trips up to Marthas Vineyard, we always had to leave our dogs at a kennel which we realized later on was not the best thing to do for our dogs. Emotionally/mentally we could tell it had taken a toll on them, so we started leaving them home with Pet Sitters. That was the best decision we had made. I want to be able to provide the same love and care that our pet sitters have provided in the past, but for your pet! Im currently working privately as a Personal Trainer and a Hypnotherapist Practitioner so my schedule is quite flexible. I also offer Reiki for both people and pets (Dogs, Cats, Horses)!!! I don’t typically board pets but would be willing to work with someone if the situation was right. I am also willing and able to crate your pet if thats something you do in your home!

“Ryan went above and beyond was expected. I got update pics and even a call just letting me know my pup was doing great. Maverick received dinner and breakfast exactly as instructed. He even got to visit the dog park (and yes I was ask before of that would be okay to do). Would highly recommend.”
“Great experience from beginning to end. It was our first time leaving Gigi with a sitter. Dew kept us updated and sent photos, which was a great comfort to us. Will definitely use her again.”

“Kylo had a great stay with Anner! He was really accommodating of some hectic scheduling for the meet and greet, and we were able to see that Kylo would be comfortable for his stay ahead of time. Anner sent videos and some photos while we were away of Ky enjoying the yard and playing with other pups. When we picked Kylo up, he seemed like he had a great time! Thanks, Anner, for taking great care of our slightly older, very goofy boy!”
“Marcella was very responsive and accommodating and I felt comfortable leaving my golden doodle there as a first time customer for a couple nights on fairly short notice. Will book again in the future.”
“Saori took fantastic care of our large doodle Toby for two weeks while we were traveling. We received daily updates with pictures and videos, which was really great. Toby had so much fun and will be going back next time we travel. I highly recommend Saori to anyone who needs a skilled and kind person to care of their pet.”
“Rachael was helpful, communicative, trustworthy and responsive - she made the process a breeze and took great care of our dog. Everyday I was sent photos of her running, playing, exploring and having fun. Pepper even came back with sharpened training — I will be booking again and again!”
“Kathryn took such good care of Marley! She sent me updates every day and pictures! So happy to have found such a reliable, flexible, and easy to communicate with sitter for our fur baby!”
“Nothing more to say but “Amazing!!!” Erika is so communicative and she sends updates via photos! Love her and my dog, Tofu, also loved staying with her and Nugget! Thank you so much, Erika!”
“Judy was great with my dog! She asks all the right questions before you arrive, sends plenty of updates and pictures, and really gives you the sense that your dog is in good hands. I highly recommend her!”
“Kya had the best time with Tina and Troy! Tina gave her the best care and sent pictures and videos of her having the best stay! Thank you so much for making sure Kya had a great stay and for making us feel so comfortable! 10/10 Recommend!”
“I was so fortunate to have found Anastasiia to watch our dog Axel when we traveled to Europe. We had booked a sitter who cancelled - leaving us with very little time to find another over the holiday season. We had Anastasiia was reasonably priced compared to some of the other sitters available (watch out for price gouging during the holidays). I had booked someone who was less expensive but when we did the meet and great, I saw that they were using Rover to run a kennel: 10 dogs kept in an 8x6 garage - with no one home! I took a chance on Anastasiia because she is new to Rover. When I met her in her home, I could tell right away that Axel would be in good hands! The home is charming and so was Anastasiia's partner :-). During Axel's stay he got to go to the park and play and even got to go on a hike. Anastasiia asked me if it was ok to take him and how he was in the car. The pictures of their adventure made me smile :-). I was sent lots of pictures during Axel's stay - most either playing or lounging lol Axel was in good spirits when we picked him up. I felt comfortable and confident that my family member was being given good care while we were overseas. I highly recommend.”
“Rocco and I had a pre event meet and greet with Nicole which went great. Nicole has a wonderful fenced back yard which is set up for her dogs and guests. Rocco was immediately comfortable and explored the yard with Nicole’s other dogs. Nicole herself is very knowledgeable about dogs and sensitive to their needs. I dropped Rocco off for an unexpected stay and received updates from Nicole twice a day. Apparently Nicole’s home is over night camp for dogs. Rocco came back happy but tired. (Not unlike my kids when they were young). I would recommend Nicole without hesitation.”
“A savior. My dog was previously discriminated against at a kennel because of my dogs breed, and I was at a loss of what to do when entrusting my dogs care, and time was of the essence. Finding someone new was uncomfortable at best, but meeting Rich and his crew, and seeing how much my dog loved being there was a HUGE comfort. When I left Fin there, I did not worry, and that is saying something, as I was flying across the country, and leaving my dog in his care. I got very frequent updates and photos on how Fin was doing. We will be returning to Rich, without a doubt, in the future for my dogs care, and his doggy girlfriend, too. Run. Don’t walk, to have this man take care of your dogs.”
“My older spoiled dogs warmed up very easily to Elaine, and became relaxed and comfortable easily. I was delighted to see, as they were used to in home dog sitters and this was the first time I brought them to a sitter. Then when we picked them up they were very happy, peaceful and joyful. I knew they had received excellent care from Elaine. I highly recommend Elaine and will definitely use her services again.”
