“When I leave Lily with Chrisie I know she will be well cared for and shown lots of attention. The frequent pictures show me Lily is very comfortable in Chrisie’s home.”
“Joelene was an excellent sitter to our doberman Letty! Joelene has a very sweet disposition, sends pics daily, and truly cares! I highly recommend and will book her again if needed!”
“Truly fantastic experience, when we arrived, we were greeted with a very warm welcome, Adriana, treated Norah as if she was her own. The whole house is dedicated almost entirely to the dogs. When I left, I received pictures of Norah quite frequently, to let me know she was okay. She seemed so happy, I didn't think she would want to come back with me. Overall, I'm very pleased and will be seeking her service in the future.”
“Carissa was a great sitter for Lennox - he seems to have enjoyed her care and the company of her pet, Judge. He came back happy! During his stay with her, Carissa kept in touch with me with appropriate updates, including photos and a few short videos. She was flexible on drop off and pick up times, which was great because my return home was delayed a little bit with traffic. I’d recommend her for sure and already booked Lennox for another stay with her in a few weeks!”
“Ada was happy to be going back to visit with Steve and Star. She seemed to jump right back in. The pictures that Steve sent while we were gone were awesome and helped my son see that she was having a great time playing!”
“Amy did a fantastic job with our dog Summit! She welcomed him with open arms as if he was one of her own dogs! She kept us posted with his current status throughout the day including pictures, and was always responsive! 15/10 would book again with Amy!”
“Tara was great with our anxious pup (and family)! Communicated well throughout the process- from setting things up to keeping us updated throughout his stay. Thankful to have found someone local to care for our Murphy when we are away! Highly recommend!”
“This was the first time I left my puppy with someone other than family, so I was very nervous! Mary was great with giving updates the entire weekend! It was so comforting to know Kennedy was staying with someone who treats their dogs like family. I don't think Kennedy wanted to leave at the end of her stay! I would 100% recommend Mary!”
“We were so thankful that Kellyanne was available for us last minute, especially since our boy Odin had recently been dealing with a leg injury. She was so accommodating and made sure we were comfortable, as it was also our first time boarding him. Would definitely recommend Kellyanne!”
“Luann was such a perfect fit to watch our Mabel. She is great with dogs, has a beautiful home, and huge fenced yard for outdoor activity. She graciously provided us with pics and videos while we were away which we appreciated. So thoughtful. We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Bryan was great. He and his wife are very nice and they were very kind to our two Small Munsterlander dogs. Very accommodating and willing to do whatever is needed. We did a quick meet / greet at the park prior to the drop off date. While they were with Bryan, he sent pictures and videos, they had great play time in his fenced yard and enjoyed the socializing with his other dogs. They were worn out when we picked them up! They had a great time. I would definitely recommend Bryan and I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again”
“During the introduction meeting Carolina and her family were all so welcoming and kind and Carolina was obviously on point professionally so I was completely comfortable with leaving Onyx with them. The appointment went very smoothly and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog-sitter.”
“Bee was a very nice and welcoming dog sitter! She has a very friendly dog, a huge beautiful yard and home that was perfect for my Mastiff to play in. She took notes on my feeding routines, sent pics during the stay and responds quickly to messages for any questions or concerns. She has a great connection with dogs that made my dog feel right at home and I'd definitely use her service in the future.”
“Charlene was so accommodating and took great care of our dog! Scout seemed very comfortable there and had a great time! She even got a bath after getting so dirty while playing hard. We picked up a happy, clean dog after our trip. I definitely recommend Charlene and her husband to anyone needing a dog sitter!”

“Dana was AWESOME! We have two finicky border collies that don't warm up to just anyone and need a lot of mental and physical activity - thus, we have very high standards for their care. Dana exceeded our expectations! Dana was kind and patient with them, and have them plenty of activities for their brains (e g., puzzle toys), and bodies (e.g., plenty of walks). She was very engaged with them and even worked commands with them for added mental stimulation! Our dogs came back very happy and well cared for. We will definitely be boarding with her again, and can't recommend her enough - ESPECIALLY if you have timid or dog/people selective dogs. Dana is a very conscientious and responsible dog owner and sitter. She is also very communicative and will send plenty of updates and photos.”

“Darcy was outstanding. She was great with the dogs, sent lots of pictures, even offered to stop by extra if the dogs were afraid of thunderstorms. She communicated promptly and was willing to bring in the mail for us. I can certainly recommend her, and will contact her again should the need arise. Thank you, Darcy.”
“Amber was excellent, excellent, excellent! She was on time morning and evening giving our cat his food and insulin injections. She communicated with us frequently complete with photos. I highly recommend Amber.”

“Logan was wonderful with our two kitties. They are very shy and skittish and Logan was patient and kind and wisely waited for them to make friends in their own time. Now they love him! He was great at keeping us informed, dependable, and helpful. He did everything we asked and spent lots of time with our pets. He even took care of some outside snow and ice for us! We will definitely request Logan again. Very happy pet parents!”
“Lori is a great sitter. Gracie (the cat) pulled her antics as normal and Lori was concerned with her well being. Thank you for the great overall concern and the cute pictures she took. Lori is in my book for future bookings. Thank you again!”
About: Hi, Everyone! My name is Cara. Thank you for visiting my page. My strong admiration for animals has only grown more with the more animals I meet and as a result, it brings me genuine happiness. It is a rewarding experience to be able to take care of any animal that needs it while their owner is away.

I was always there to comfort her until the end of her life and spoiled her beyond belief. Myself and my family provided care to my mini schnauzer for over 12 years. As a child, I never had a dog sitter to send updates, pictures/videos for my sweet Zoie when my family would travel, so I strongly understand the importance of quick and reliable communication/sending updates while you’re away to ease your anxiety. Experience - administering medicine/injections - cats, big dogs, small dogs, senior animals, special needs pets, pigs, cows, chickens. -exercise/run with your pet -hospice/end of life care (Repositioning every hour, hand feeding, massages, cooking packs, frozen bone broth snacks on warmer days, the list goes on) Pets and animals deserve to be spoiled but most importantly, they deserve to be loved.

“Eileen was great! She took care of my kitten (Charlie) for 20 days and updated me with pictures and information about him throughout his stay with her. At first she was slow to respond to my messages before taking Charlie in but was great during his stay. I would be happy to recommend her to anyone.”

“Nate took good care of my 2 senior cats while I was away on vacation. He did daily drop in visits, litter box, fed/watered, gave 1 daily medication, and spent time with them. He also sent pics and gave me updates. My house was clean when I got home. Nate was prompt to respond on the site, we met in advance at a public eatery to get to know each other, and he came to my house after to meet my cats and get a basic run down on their needs. He was very pleasant, easy to talk to, and my cats took an instant liking to him. I would highly recommend him to others and will hire him again in the future! It's so hard to find good, reliable yet reasonable pet care. Thank you so much Nate!!!”
“Jennifer was a great cat sitter while we were on vacation. She feed and cleaned up after our kitty and sent plenty of pictures. She is definitely my go to cat sitter going forward.”
About: Cats rule! My Soul Cat Sophie made me a cat lover almost 20 years ago. Ever since then, I couldn't live without having a cat in my life. I have cat-sat 1-20 cats at one time! I can read cat tails (most of the time)! Aspiring to be a cat behaviorist!! Cat whisperer. They know I'm a cat person! Bonus: I have experience with litter robots!
“Grace came to watch Bax with very short notice which took a lot of weight off my shoulders. She is caring , followed my instructions and Baxter seems very relaxed with her. I will be using her services again.”
“This is our first time using Rover, and Shayla is above and beyond our expectations. Our fullsize goldendoodle Mac is reactive to new people, and Shayla has put in the effort to go slow with our boy, and it's paying off. Over several visits, she has won over his curiosity and trust, and has asked us about his tendencies, to help ensure his comfort and routine as she prepares to house sit for us. Our trip will be the first time that both my husband and I are going away since we've had Mac, and I am certain he will be in great hands. I can't wait to see how Shayla's relationship with our dog continues. Seeing her approach with him, we can tell she's an experienced and knowledgeable sitter.”

About: I have had pets most of my life. I quit my job and started a non-profit, St. Lewis Foundation, which didnt work out, so all the animals in my care became my pets. They were mostly senior and unwanted animals, which is where my heart is. I am unemployed right now, looking for remote work . So I am home all day. I have the time to let your pup out as many times as he/she wants. If they are a little dog I will be right by their side. I am up 6a - 9p. I have 3 senior cats that sleep up high most of the day, so your pup needs to be okay with cats. All pups sleep with me in my king size bed (if they want to). I have a dog bed next to me in my office or a couch in front of a large front window. I have locked screen security doors in case your pup likes to sniff the air. Central AC (I like it cool) and heating. I have many balls and treats (if allowed) and would love to throw the ball a bit. Back yard is not huge but sufficient. All my dogs have passed and I am missing a dog so much but cant commit right now. So let me love on your pup!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and been around them my whole life. Growing up we had five dogs of different breeds and sizes and that is what cemented my passion for animals. I work from home so I have ample time to do whatever is needed for our furry friends. The yard is big enough for everyone to run around and play. I also have a park not too far a walk from my house. I work from home and am able to care for your buddy around the clock. There are no children in my home but always a buddy or two. I love dogs and make sure they each feel welcomed loved and cared for. My fenced yard lets us play and run with no worries of escaping or getting lost. Outdoor time is always supervised or accompanied! There are a lot of soft cozy spots to hang out. My couch is protected by one of many covers that is rotated through the days so dirty paws or accidents aren’t that big a deal. Speaking of dirty paw, my Bissell wet dry vac has to clock in to work at LEAST twice a day! Lol
“Honestly I don't think I could find a better person to care for my baby when we aren't home. Serena seemed to have a good time and was able to relax and not be nervous. She even ate some dinner (which she usually doesn't when we aren't around).”
“Allawr took great care of our dog aura during a two night stay at her home. Allawr gave us plenty of updates, pictures, and was quick with communication. Aura made friends with her sweet pup, mellow, and did not want to leave. We definitely recommend Allawr for dog sitting!”
“Mera was wonderful with our 5-mo-old puppy (Briar)! She was very responsive and accommodating during the initial meet-and-greet and booking process, and she sent frequent photos and videos of Briar playing with Mera's dogs throughout the day.

About: Hi! My name is Brooklin, and animals have been a huge part of my life for over 18 years. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I previously worked with the Charleston Animal Society, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals and understanding their individual needs. My background has given me the skills to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care for your pets while you're away. I am comfortable administering medications when needed and have experience monitoring pets' health, feeding schedules, water intake, bathroom habits, and overall well-being. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I strive to make them feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. My goal is to treat every animal as if they were my own and provide pet parents with peace of mind through dependable care and communication. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! At the moment I have a full time job, but have weekends off. I plan to entail doing this on my weekends and even after work days. This is more then just making it my routine. I adore animal(s). I have a fenced in yard, I as well have a crate. Plenty of opportunities for walking adventures. I enjoy going to the dog park, as well with adventuring outside anywhere with the animal(s). Whatever you set for rules or boundaries I’ll always continue to respect them, and always follow. I enjoy working with animal(s)

In the past I even adopted reptiles and other animals to heal/care for until someone wanted to take them to their forever home. I have like animals since I could remember, and I would absolutely care, and love the pets I sit. Past I have also volunteered for animal shelters and even started a fundraiser for a specific shelter. I just graduated from nursing school. I will be starting my job soon, but even while working for my job, I would love to take on an extra role in pet caregiving as of right now I am available at any time that you may need me. Once I start work, I will be available as much as I can for the pets that I will care for. I live in the countryside with a giant 10 acre piece of land. My two dogs and my cats are both indoor outdoor and they love going in and out. My dogs especially have an amazing time there. I go take them on walks almost every day I even go to a dog park as far as taking care of animals in someone else’s home, I would care for them, take them on walks, and if willing, I could even take them to dog parks and make their day just as happy as mine.
“Logan was wonderful - easy to communicate with, reliable, and did a great job caring for our newfie, Coda. His flexibility in assisting us when we were driving through the area was so appreciated. Would highly recommend.”
About: Animals and nature have been my greatest passion for as long as I can remember. I’ve been exposed to, and well acquainted to a variety of animals, including fish, rodents, reptiles, dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and even a baby squirrel rescue! I am also a volunteer dog walker at my local shelter, which is my therapy and brings me great happiness. I have two dogs of my own that I’ve raised since they were eight weeks old. They are my entire world. I am knowledgeable in basic dog training and obedience, and very observant and understanding of animal behavior. Nothing brings me more joy and happiness in life than being surrounded by the love and purity of animals. I currently have open availability. I have a very flexible and adaptable schedule and I am open to what works best for you and your pets needs. I am with my dogs all day everyday. They get all of my love and attention. I constantly monitor for potential hazards and act accordingly in order to limit any risks. Cleanliness and order is my main priority as I value a clean and tidy home. I have fresh water out all day and I feed them twice a day. My dogs get a specialized high end kibble which I supplement with fresh meat, organ, eggs, fruits, veggies, goats milk, coconut oil, bone broth, salmon oil, turmeric and a daily vitamin. I wash my dogs as needed or every two weeks. I brush their teeth, fur, and clip their nails weekly as well. I only have high quality chew bones and other toys available that don’t pose a risk as my dogs are heavy chewers.
About: Peace of mind pet care! Hi there! I'm Noelle! I'm a 35 year old animal enthusiast. I have years of personal experience being a dog and cat guardian. I have also worked with animals in a retail setting and a shelter setting. I bring to the table knowledge of pet behavior, basic care, food, toys, treats, health and wellness products, accessories, and more (a little of everything). I believe all pets are family members and will treat them as though they were my own. I will try my best to accommodate any special needs or requests you may have. I'm always receptive to questions or concerns so feel free to ask! I'm trying to earn money to help support my furry family by spending some time with yours! I look forward to making some new fur friends! Please allow enough time before your furbaby is under my care for a Meet and Greet. I will not accept service requests without a proper meeting! I want to confirm your baby, my babies, and myself will be safe and comfortable during our interactions! Don't hesitate to ask me questions if your booking falls outside my normal availability. I will do my best to make your needs work with my schedule! Currently trying to make this my main kibbles and bits! I'll consider any request and try to make it work! I take clients on weekdays and am NOT an early riser! Afternoons and evenings are perfect! I am hypervigilant with my own furbabies and will be with yours as well! Potty time will always be supervised (if you have a fence) and a leash is a must for walks! I will stay by their side the whole visit!
About: I’ve cared for family and friend’s pets for over 20 years. I’ve been a foster mom and I have 5 dogs of all sizes and ages. I am currently working part time so I am able to spend plenty of time playing and walking with your fur baby as needed during the week and sometimes on weekends. Currently, I am looking for opportunities to play and walk with your fur baby. As I do not have a fenced yard to board them at this time.
“Shayla did a great job walking my special boi! He’s a bit of a puller but she was super understanding and accommodating. She even found him a nice open field to run in and get his energy out! I appreciated the detailed summary card she left at the end too. Will request again! Thanks Shayla!”

“Joelene was an excellent sitter to our doberman Letty! Joelene has a very sweet disposition, sends pics daily, and truly cares! I highly recommend and will book her again if needed!”
“Truly fantastic experience, when we arrived, we were greeted with a very warm welcome, Adriana, treated Norah as if she was her own. The whole house is dedicated almost entirely to the dogs. When I left, I received pictures of Norah quite frequently, to let me know she was okay. She seemed so happy, I didn't think she would want to come back with me. Overall, I'm very pleased and will be seeking her service in the future.”
“Carissa was a great sitter for Lennox - he seems to have enjoyed her care and the company of her pet, Judge. He came back happy! During his stay with her, Carissa kept in touch with me with appropriate updates, including photos and a few short videos. She was flexible on drop off and pick up times, which was great because my return home was delayed a little bit with traffic. I’d recommend her for sure and already booked Lennox for another stay with her in a few weeks!”
“Ada was happy to be going back to visit with Steve and Star. She seemed to jump right back in. The pictures that Steve sent while we were gone were awesome and helped my son see that she was having a great time playing!”
“Amy did a fantastic job with our dog Summit! She welcomed him with open arms as if he was one of her own dogs! She kept us posted with his current status throughout the day including pictures, and was always responsive! 15/10 would book again with Amy!”
“Luann was such a perfect fit to watch our Mabel. She is great with dogs, has a beautiful home, and huge fenced yard for outdoor activity. She graciously provided us with pics and videos while we were away which we appreciated. So thoughtful. We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Bryan was great. He and his wife are very nice and they were very kind to our two Small Munsterlander dogs. Very accommodating and willing to do whatever is needed. We did a quick meet / greet at the park prior to the drop off date. While they were with Bryan, he sent pictures and videos, they had great play time in his fenced yard and enjoyed the socializing with his other dogs. They were worn out when we picked them up! They had a great time. I would definitely recommend Bryan and I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again”
“During the introduction meeting Carolina and her family were all so welcoming and kind and Carolina was obviously on point professionally so I was completely comfortable with leaving Onyx with them. The appointment went very smoothly and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog-sitter.”
“Bee was a very nice and welcoming dog sitter! She has a very friendly dog, a huge beautiful yard and home that was perfect for my Mastiff to play in. She took notes on my feeding routines, sent pics during the stay and responds quickly to messages for any questions or concerns. She has a great connection with dogs that made my dog feel right at home and I'd definitely use her service in the future.”

“Dana was AWESOME! We have two finicky border collies that don't warm up to just anyone and need a lot of mental and physical activity - thus, we have very high standards for their care. Dana exceeded our expectations! Dana was kind and patient with them, and have them plenty of activities for their brains (e g., puzzle toys), and bodies (e.g., plenty of walks). She was very engaged with them and even worked commands with them for added mental stimulation! Our dogs came back very happy and well cared for. We will definitely be boarding with her again, and can't recommend her enough - ESPECIALLY if you have timid or dog/people selective dogs. Dana is a very conscientious and responsible dog owner and sitter. She is also very communicative and will send plenty of updates and photos.”
About: Hi! My name is Brooklin, and animals have been a huge part of my life for over 18 years. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I previously worked with the Charleston Animal Society, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals and understanding their individual needs. My background has given me the skills to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care for your pets while you're away. I am comfortable administering medications when needed and have experience monitoring pets' health, feeding schedules, water intake, bathroom habits, and overall well-being. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and relaxed environment, I strive to make them feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. My goal is to treat every animal as if they were my own and provide pet parents with peace of mind through dependable care and communication. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! At the moment I have a full time job, but have weekends off. I plan to entail doing this on my weekends and even after work days. This is more then just making it my routine. I adore animal(s). I have a fenced in yard, I as well have a crate. Plenty of opportunities for walking adventures. I enjoy going to the dog park, as well with adventuring outside anywhere with the animal(s). Whatever you set for rules or boundaries I’ll always continue to respect them, and always follow. I enjoy working with animal(s)
About: I have been a pet owner for 30+ years (currently own no pets) and a pet sitter from the 80's and 90's when it was new to have someone in your house taking care of pets while traveling. I am new to Wayne County, after living in Delaware County, PA for 50 years. I am looking for a part time work from home job, but in the meantime thought I could fill my days with dog lovin. I miss having my own pet, so loving and caring for others would be a great fit. My home is spacious, with plenty of room to play, sleep and be crated (if necessary). I live on 2 acres, with access to 10k+ acres of woods out my back door. There is plenty of walking and exploring to do out my back door.
“Mary did a great job. She sent us regular pictures and kept our energetic dog active and entertained. We picked our dog up much later in the day than we thought but Mary was very flexible w our schedule and stayed up till we arrived. I'd say she went above and beyond to take care of our pooch!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets and have experience with special needs animals, seniors and kittens/puppies. I can administer medicine and am very cognizant of a pet’s personality. For example I have a timid cat, a menace cat and a love bug cat. My Siberian husky is more cat than dog too. I can do drop ins or board dogs in my home. I can also stop by for walks. For the board ins I prefer to take in only dogs because I don’t want to stress the kitty crew out, but I’d be available to come do drop ins for the cats. My yard isn’t completely fenced so I’d probably take the doggos to the park at apple grove and for walks around town. I have three friendly cats and my husky also loves dogs.
