“I cannot say enough positive things about Abner. He was very communicative from the start and helped ease my anxiety about leaving my dogs with a stranger. Throughout my trip away, he sent photos and updates on both of my babies. My dogs came home happy and I could tell that they were on their own mini vacation over the weekend. Abner was a delight, and I hope to have him take care of my babies again in the future.”

They will have access to my balcony for when they need cooling and some quiet.

“We recently had the pleasure of having Nicolas care for our beloved dog, Mazzie, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, it was clear that our pup was in great hands. Mazzie went on long walks, had incredible play time with their dog Sinatra, and we received tons of wonderful pictures, making our time away. It was evident that they were genuinely passionate about animals, and Mazzie was instantly comfortable, which gave us such peace of mind. Overall, we couldn’t recommend this pet sitter highly enough. They treated Mazzie as if she were their own, and we will definitely be using them again in the future. If you’re looking for reliable, compassionate, and attentive care for your furry family member, look no further!”

“Katie provided wonderful care for our dog at her residence while we were away. She took the time to get to know myself and my dog prior to her stay. It was our lab's first time boarding and Katie sent updates regularly throughout the day which helped ease the transition. Katie's professionalism, passion and love for the animals was evident throughout the entire experience. Highly recommend!”

I will play, exercise, and create a bond with your dog as if they were my own. I will always keep you updated since I know how nerve wrecking it may be sometimes.

About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart, and with experience caring for multiple cats of my own, I understand how important patience, gentleness, and routine are for them.

From feeding and playtime to cuddles and companionship, I’ll care for your cat like they’re part of my own family.

About: With a profound dedication to feline well-being, my journey in animal care has prominently featured the compassionate management of an animal shelter, where I honed my skills in creating a nurturing environment for cats. My hands-on experience extends beyond mere shelter operations – I've adeptly crafted tailored care plans, emphasizing the unique needs of our whiskered friends. Proficient in cat behavior and well-versed in creating a supportive atmosphere, I am poised to be an excellent choice for providing exceptional care and companionship to our beloved feline companions.
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of all ages, including my own. From puppy stage to senior. I’ve been trusted by friends and family to care for their dogs including walks, play time, and any special needs they may have. I work taking care of your pet into my schedule, early mornings or late nights are no issue. I set aside as much time as needed for play, walks etc. I have a very large back yard in a low traffic neighborhood. I have two dogs of my own that are very well behaved and love to play!
“Tammie was an absolute lifesaver while I was on vacation! She came three times a day to care for my cat, including administering oral medication, which can be a challenge—but she handled it with total professionalism and care. She was always on time, incredibly communicative, and sent regular updates that really helped me relax while I was away. When our flight was unexpectedly delayed, she didn’t hesitate to make additional last-minute visits to make sure my cat was safe and comfortable. Her flexibility and dedication truly went above and beyond. It’s such a relief to know my pet is in such capable and compassionate hands. I will 100% be booking with Tammie again and can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“Kimberly was awesome! She communicated with us everyday and always made sure to send several photos during her visits. It was a pleasure to work with her and we would absolutely work with her again.”


About: Big to small, I've catered to God's animals with love, care, discipline and compassion. Dogs, cats, birds, fishes, retiles etc I don't discriminate. All life is sentiment and conscious and beats with living purpose.. in this world we all need one another . Animals and humans God created in that garden of Eden.
“I can’t recommend Arianna enough! Leaving our two Cane Corsos in someone else’s care is never something we take lightly — they’re large, strong dogs with unique needs and big personalities. But Arianna handled everything with confidence, care, and professionalism from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone reliable and trustworthy who truly gets dogs, especially big ones like Cane Corsos, look no further. We’ll definitely be booking again!”


About: My family and I have fostered puppies and dogs since I was 12 years old which gave me plenty of experience with lots of different dogs, breeds, ages, and genders. We have always had our own family dog, and I continue to dog sit/dog walk for neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve also been volunteering at the Thomas J. O’Connor Animal Control and Adoption Center in Springfield,MA since July of 2025. This has allowed me to gain even more experience with so many different types of dogs and behaviors. I always want to preface that even if it says I don’t have availability, always reach out anyways because depending on what services you may need, we can work something out. I do have a demanding work schedule, but typically I am available in the afternoon and early evening (1pm-5pm). Of course I have weekends available as well. I would never take a gig if I’m too busy and can’t provide the best care possible for your pet. I would prefer to take care of pets in their own home. I believe that pets in their own environment is the best situation for the pet, and myself.

About: I am a 33 year old disabled Army Veteran. I worked with Military Dogs during my time in the Army and I also had my own lovebugs at home. I am very experienced in obedience and basic command training, but I also give your Dog all the attention and love they need. I love taking them out for walks and playtime to get them powered out. In the Military I worked mostly with German Sheperds and Belgian Malanois, at home I gave my love to a French and an English Bulldog, so I am well aware of some of the health issues that these breeds have. Nonetheless I work well with all breeds and I am always excited to get to know New friends everywhere.
About: Taking care of animals is my calling! They love me and I love them. I’ve always enjoyed working with animals since a young age. I have worked in the dog grooming business training to hopefully own my own dog hotel in the near future! I also have worked at boarding facilities for dogs/cats. I have found that I truly love anything that provides a better space for animal boarding/care. I’m excited to have expanded my experience in dog sitting/walking! I will be offering grooming to the pups I dog sit/walk so feel free to ask about getting a bath/groom! Currently I work full time at a veterinary facility/grooming facility. I can provide my services so long as the dates are available on my schedule! :) Each pet would be cared for differently according to their needs. Lots of love will be given to each dog I sit/walk, if allowed a few treats and toys for good behavior, and safety for the dogs and myself will be the main priority.
About: Since pre-teen, I grew up with dogs mostly as my parents had several dogs in the house. I love to care for dogs and make sure they’re happy and loved. Before Rover, I’ve walked and looked after neighbors’ dogs and owners have confided in me to care for them while they are away (i.e., family vacations, business trips, etc…). Currently my job is fully remote and I can mainly dog-sit during the day on a weekly basis. During the weekends, I can board, house sit and help in any way that I can with advance notice. My apartment is pet friendly and it is safe environment for dogs of any type. Apartment has easy dog access and Center City neighborhood is very safe. I live in between Rittenhouse Square Park and Washington Square park (~5mins walk).
About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter and dog walker based out of Newton, NJ. Animals are my life! I’ve been working full time in petcare for close to four years, and as a caretaker for many years. Before going into dogcare full time, I was most recently working as a nursing home aid, and CHHA. Before that, I worked with farm animals at the Turtle Back Zoo, and volunteered with the cat adoption agency, ‘Kitty Kind.’ I’ve had and taken care of my dogs, as well as others, ever since I was a little girl. I missed working with our four-legged friends, and I’m very happy to have returned to this fuzzier kind of work. Right now at home, I’ve got two Malamute Labrador mixes. Needless to say, I do have experience handling big dogs, though I love the little ones, too! I am available for overnights, in most cases, so long as I’m not on schedule for another client. My main duty right now is taking care of my animals at home, so I’m also happy to take on whatever odd shifts people may need help with. How I would care for a client’s fuzzy friend would be an entirely personalized experience. I want to know how YOU want them taken care of, and what you are comfortable with and looking for. Then, I will enthusiastically and reliably fill that role, whilst ensuring a safe and protective experience for your pet.
About: I have cared for all kinds of animals, but predominantly dogs and cats. I’ve nannied for years and cared for family pets with love. Dogs and cats are really God’s gift to humans! I work from home and I can also take my laptop with me anywhere in a pinch, and I know I also will have plenty of breaks through the day to care for the pups or cats! I live in an apartment where animas are welcome on the cozy sofa for lots of snuggles. Walks and dog park could be a good option or just potty trips outside and relaxing indoors with some walks in between. And play!
About: As a nature-loving Poconos local, I bring a mix of deep care and joyful energy to every walk. I was the proud mama of a small dog who lived to be 15— she my best friend and like a child to me—so I understand the depth of love, trust, and nuance that comes with caring for a beloved fur baby. Whether your pup is sprightly or senior, playful or shy, I tune into their personality and pace. I offer more than just care—I offer connection, trust, and peace of mind. I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to offer consistent, reliable walks throughout the day. I’m happy to communicate updates, photos, or notes so you always feel connected and confident. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I bring a calm, attentive presence to every walk, always keeping a close eye on surroundings, leash safety, and your fur baby’s well-being. With years of experience as a devoted dog mama, I understand how to build trust—through consistency, gentle communication, and honoring each dog’s unique needs.
About: My family has always had dogs and I had my first dog when I was 9yrs old. I’ve always felt a special connection with dogs and love to have them around and care for them. They bring so much joy, and are great company and entertainment. The 4 dogs I’ve had since I was a child have been of different breeds and sizes. My first dog was a medium sized rescued dog and we are unsure of his breed. The second one was a large Italian Mastiff, and I now have two small Cavapoos (Rocky and Lego) that are a wonderful addition to my family. Whenever we have family gatherings I always welcome family and friends with their pets and Rocky and Lego love having other furry friends over. I have the time and space to care for other dogs while their family travels, work or runs errands and know that their dogs are well taken care of in a loving home. I have cared for family and friends dogs many times before and I enjoy having them. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am pretty available during the week and some weekends, and if requested ahead of time, I can make arrangements to be available for long term stay if needed. I have a partially fenced yard, but would walk your dog leashed at all times to ensure his/her safety. I have a crate that can be used for your dog during the day or at night if that’s what your dog is used to and would make him/her feel safe. My two dogs are very friendly and playful and would make your dog feel right at home. I allow my dogs on furniture and would allow yours as well if that is part of your dynamic at home as well. I also have a deck where they can play outside, run around and get some sun. I have a field right in front of my home where we go for daily walks. I am also open for a phone call, FaceTime or an in person visit to meet me and my dogs before hand.

“We are so appreciative to Michele. She was sable to accommodate us at the last minute. Her home is so inviting and dog friendly. Mason, our golden doodle enjoyed his time immensely and needed to be cajoled to hop back into our car to get home! I’ve never seen that before! I think he wanted to stay longer. Mason was safe, well cared for and happy. We will certainly reach out to Michele to look after Mason the next time we are in town again!”

“We take our pup most places, but there are times we just can't. We love the peace of mind we have when we leave him with Maria. And bonus, he has other dogs to socialize with! Highly recommend her.”

“We were in New Orleans with our chocolate lab and needed someone last minute to watch her. Jackie responded quickly and Mickey absolutely loved her and her husband! She sent me frequent pictures and updates. She was easy to work with and appreciated her giving us the opportunity to do some dog-free tours and exploring of the area!”


“My pup Farrah is in her glory when staying with Hannelie. She has room to roam and two great pups to play with. Hannelie prioritizes safety and fun, leaving me with nothing but confidence that Farrah has the best care.”

About: I have worked with animals for most of my life and have experience caring for a wide range of animals, from dogs to horses. I have previously worked at a dog boarding facility for two years, where I handled daily care, feeding, cleaning, and exercise. I have have also grown up on a horse farm that has a wide variety of animals. I am comfortable working with both small and large animals and have experience administering medications, including insulin injections. I currently own both a dog and a horse, so animal care is a part of my everyday life. I also have a friendly dog in the home who enjoys playing with other dogs, which helps create a comfortable and social environment for pets in my care. I am patient, reliable, and passionate about making animals feel safe, cared for, and comfortable. I currently work remotely, Monday to Friday, from the comfort of my own home. I am currently working from home during the week so I have plenty of time for outside play and walks as well as constant supervision While my yard is not fenced in, I provide long walks around the lake and possibly even swimming for those warm days and water loving dogs.

“Melissa and Angel are great! They took great care of my dog Whiskey, providing walks, playtime, and plenty of pictures throughout. I will definitely use them again when I’m in the area. Highly recommend!!”

About: Hi! My name is Deja, and I’m someone who has loved and cared for animals my entire life. I grew up with both cats and dogs and currently have experience caring for multiple pets of my own, including 4 cats and 2 dogs. Over the last 1–2 years, I’ve also gained hands-on pet care experience outside of my own home. As a therapist, compassion, patience, and attentiveness are a huge part of who I am, and I bring those same qualities into the care I provide for every pet. What makes me stand out is the level of care, patience, and emotional attentiveness I bring to animals. I genuinely see pets as beings with feelings, emotions, and unique personalities, and I treat them with the same kindness and respect I would give another person. Being a therapist has strengthened my ability to be calm, observant, trustworthy, and responsive to individual needs, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure around me. I don’t just “watch” pets — I build connection, provide comfort, and make sure they feel loved while you’re away. I recently earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and currently work part-time as a therapist while continuing to grow my caseload. Pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy and intentionally include in my schedule because caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. Since I work part time, I’m able to dedicate focused attention, patience, and quality care to the pets I work with rather than treating it like a rushed side job. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and emotional needs, so I approach each animal with compassion, empathy, and attentiveness. Whether your pet needs playtime, comfort, companionship, or gentle patience, I will treat them with the same love and care I would give my own pets.

About: I have always had two dogs since I was born. Coming to college and not having any to take care of or be with has been a downer so having me take care of your dogs should be no worry to you and it will be mentally nurturing for me! I am a student and I am free Tuesday-Fridays anytime after 4 and on weekends and Mondays I am free all day long to be there for your pets. I live in an apartment building but there is a park right down the street that I can take them too and a small pocket park outside of my apartment building
“It’s obvious from the minute you communicate with Thalia she loves animals. She even works for a shelter to help animals in need. Thalia was dependable, a great communicator & very conscientious. I was gone both times can’t wait to meet her!”

About: I’ve been around dogs for several years and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or providing companionship, I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand the importance of keeping owners updated and treating every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently a college student on break and work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for dog walking and pet sitting. I enjoy staying active and making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs.

“I cannot say enough positive things about Abner. He was very communicative from the start and helped ease my anxiety about leaving my dogs with a stranger. Throughout my trip away, he sent photos and updates on both of my babies. My dogs came home happy and I could tell that they were on their own mini vacation over the weekend. Abner was a delight, and I hope to have him take care of my babies again in the future.”


“Thank you so much Melissa and Angel! It was my first time using them and they made me feel at ease. They send me pictures and updates throughout the whole stay on how Rocky was doing. See you guys soon!”

About: I will give your dog(s) my undivided attention. They will be fed and taken for walks. I will engage with them throughout the day, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I will care for them just like they were my own pet. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how much they mean to their families. In case of an emergency at home or work, I will provide the necessary care for your dogs. I have a unique bond with every dog I meet and truly enjoy their company, ensuring they receive plenty of affection. In the past, I have cared for my family's dogs, feeding and walking them nearly every day. I am knowledgeable about how to handle dogs safely. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to dog-sit and walk the dogs entrusted to my care. Pet caring is one of my passion because they bring so much joy to our lives. With this being said after work I do appreciate the love my fur babies give me. I love to play and run with fur babies and I also get my weekly exercise in! I have a yard that they can run freely in. They will have access to my balcony for when they need cooling and some quiet.

“Gisselle and her family are the perfect family for our dogs to stay with while away from home!! They are loving, patient, attentive and absolutely spoiled our two Shetland Sheepdogs!!

I could not be more grateful for her care in every way. Gisselle is my “go to family” now for all our dog care needs. She is the absolute best!!”

Then she happily trotted off with her with her when I left . Overall a great experience!”
