Molly was amazing! Went to Jersey shore for 2 weeks and she handled EVERYTHING! Feedings, extra walks, picking up the mail… she was above and beyond. Great at communicating and lots of photos and details. Always on time. So responsible and mature.

Roxanne came to my rescue after we booked a last minute getaway! She watched Lucy once before and was excellent so I knew Lucy would be in good hands and I could relax while away. Roxanne showed up right on time and sent texts and photos for all drop in visits. Will definitely request her again. Thanks Roxanne!

About: We (my 12 yr old) and I are looking to play with and care for your dog and/or cats. We can only be honorary pup parents for now. We used to have a beagle mix and now we have two very shy but friendly kitties. They are scared of most humans and haven't interacted with any dogs. I can't care for other animals in my home but I'm a very tidy sitter if you invite me to stay at your home. My daughter and I love all animals and nature. In our free time we visit: friends, farms, zoos, arboretums, hiking trails, the beach, crafting spaces....and soon hopefully your sweet pet! I work from home and set my own schedule so it is easy for me to make time during the day for your pets. Generally, my cats are my coworkers who sit on my lap while I'm completing video meetings. I am often free to help you on weekends. I will follow any care guidelines you set. I love walking dogs around the neighborhood and beyond. I adhere to your diet plan for your pets. I frequently get affectionate with any dogs and cats that allow it. I respect their space and earn their trust by giving them time to be near me before attempting to lead and love on them. Granted, I hope they eventually let me pet and rub them. I frequently talk to them. I'm comfortable with being on camera if that's how your home is set up.

I can’t say enough awesome things about Ridgley!! She was always on time and followed all of my instructions. My one pup is super scared and timid. Ridgley somehow got her out from behind the chair to go outside AND got her to eat which I thought was a lost cause. She’s amazing. 10/10! I’m so happy to have found someone that I can trust and allows me to enjoy my vacation because my pups are taken care of so well.

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats for my entire life, I’m very careful as well as entertaining for all the pets I watch! I love to go on walks and would be a great trail companion for your dog. My family has always relied on me to watch their pets, and can tell you that I am dependable and on top of things. and I also currently work in horse care, which I feel is necessary to say, because I hope it give you peace of mind to know if I can take care of a horse, I can also definitely take care of your dog. I currently have one other job where I only work 2-3 days a week so I have plenty of extra time to help care for your animals! At my house, I regularly feed and walk my dog, as well as feed and play with my cats. I make sure all my animals are healthy and happy.

About: Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile and consider me as a care taker for your animal while you are away! I have grown up with dogs (and the occasional bird & fishies). For the past 12 years, I've lived with and visited my best bud Zeke at my parent's house. I would love to have a dog of my own in the future, however for now I am hoping and so happy to take care of other's loved ones during the week and on weekends! I'm an active individual and enjoy taking dogs on walks, for car rides and the occasional ice cream or pup cup. I will give your animal all the love that they've come to expect because they certainly deserve it! Please reach out with any questions, and thanks again for thinking of me! :) I currently work full time (9-5) Monday-Friday, however I usually work from home Friday's and am available on weekends for full time pet care. During the week, I am able to visit (feed, walk, take out for bathroom needs) early in the morning (between 5:30 am to 7 am and in the evening (between 6-9 pm) In my current apartment, pets are welcome visitors. However, I am also happy to visit your home multiple times a day and stay with your pet when needed, especially if you are close! I work only 20 minutes away so I would have ample time in the morning and especially in the evening to stop by to feed, toilet, walk and play with your pet! This is especially great if your pet doesn’t do well in a new environment; I am happy to provide them with everything they’d need in a place where they feel the most comfortable!

About: I am a big animal lover, I have watched dogs before, and had a great time! I will happily walk, feed, play with, and cuddle with any dog! I’m currently a college student with lots of free time, so I will happily fill my day with taking care of and playing with dogs or cats! Currently I am a college student, so there wouldn’t be any dog or cat hangout at my place, however I would be happy to travel to and visit your pets.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the fact that I will love and care for your dog as if it was my own. I’ve been babysitting my neighbors dogs for about 2 years now, so I’m experienced with different types of dogs! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. There’s a lot of times within the day where I will be able to stop by and check on your dog! I provide loving and reliable pet care in clients’ homes by following each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are well cared for while they’re away.

About: I’ve trained my cat to go for walks outside and I’m training our new kitten to do the same. They are both car trained as well. I’m interested in cats and caring for them by seeing their individual personalities and learning about their individual needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a business owner, I have flexibility in my schedule and can adjust my availability throughout the day to meet a cat’s specific needs. This allows me to maintain consistent visit times, accommodate special routines, and provide dependable care rather than rushed drop-ins. I’m comfortable creating and following structured routines—whether that’s regular feeding times, medication schedules, or enrichment sessions—so pets experience continuity and calm while their owners are away. Whether caring for cats in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize consistency, cleanliness, and calm, attentive care. I share my home with two cats—one adult and one kitten—and caring for them has given me hands-on experience with different life stages, energy levels, and needs. I’m intentional about creating a healthy, low-stress environment by staying informed on best products, enrichment tools, and care practices. I pay close attention to routines, litter box cleanliness, nutrition preferences, and behavioral cues, adjusting care as needed to keep cats comfortable and content. My approach is thoughtful and individualized—focused not just on meeting basic needs, but on supporting overall well-being so each cat feels safe, engaged, and cared for while you’re away.

Sydney did a lovely job getting to know my kitties before we left for the week and my cats warmed up to her very quickly. She sent many pictures and great updates while we were away. Which is just a nice thing to see when you are away, because you know that they are happy as well! I will absolutely be booking her again for our future travels.

About: I currently have a 6y/o Austrialian Shepherd who I have taken through advanced obedience training and intermediate agility training and we regularly go on off-leash walks and hikes in crowded areas. I also had an older Hungarian Vizsla growing up, who died at the age of 15. I am experienced with young, energetic pups, as well as senior dogs who need a little more time and TLC. I know the fundamentals of positive reinforcement dog training. Throughout highschool, I walked and cared for a few neighborhood dogs as well, one being a reactive rescue dog and the other having two puppies to care for, so am experienced with different dogs. I also know all of the best parks and trails in the area to walk, and have a harness/seatbelt setup in the back of my car to take your pup for a nice adventure there, if you'd prefer! I am a collegiate athlete home for the summer and looking for a summer job to fit in between my training sessions. I usually am booked with rowing training from 7-9AM, and 3-6PM. With enough time to care for my own pup, I am most available from 11AM-3PM but I can be flexible through some evenings, earlier mornings, or later afternoons, depending on the day! I offer care through walks and drop-in visits in your home. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine by following all owner instructions closely. Whether your dog needs exercise, playtime, potty breaks, medication, or just companionship, I adapt care to their personality and needs. I use safe leash handling on walks, stay aware of surroundings, and provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands!

About: I’ve loved animals ever since I was little, especially dogs. I never had one growing up, but would watch, walk, and feed others’, such as my neighbor’s and grandparents. Since my cat passed away, I have been looking to get a job working with animals. I promise to give your pet a great time and a new friend! I am going into my freshman year of college and would love to look after your pet over the summer! My other activities include babysitting/driving my siblings, spending time outside, journaling, and exercising. Watching your pet is a great way for me to stay active and help others :) I would prefer to watch your furry friends in their own house, seeing as I have many younger siblings, parents with allergies, and not much space for pets to run around. I am very used to minding for the safety of little children, so I will be sure your pet and your home stays well-protected!

About: I grew up on a farm and love animals of all kinds. I am a very loving and gentle person and treat other pets as if they were mine. Dogs are such special animals and I love to help out in any way that I can. I work from home a few days a week and have a flexible schedule that allows me to be there for animals on the weekdays and some weekends. I will love your pet as much as I love and care for my own. My dog is a very loving terrier who gets along with other dogs and is very mellow. He has all his shots up to date and is neutered. I am a healthcare professional during the day and at night I like to help others. I am very knowledgeable about health issues/illnesses and dog's behavior. I am excited to be part of your pets life. I also have experience with giving oral medications/shots and working with dogs with all illnesses and ages. I do not have a fenced in yard but have a tie out in front yard and live in an area where there are plenty of parks and love to be outdoors so your dog will get plenty of exercise.

About: Hello ~ I am a stay at home mom and enjoy spending time with all my pup friends. I am happy to offer dog boarding at my home. Currently, I am catering to small 0-15 lbs & medium size dogs up to 35 lbs. Your pet(s) will be treated like family and will have access to a very large backyard that is fenced in, so your dog(s) will never feel confined and will have plenty of room to run/exercise, play & explore or simply chill under a tree. Also the entire property has surveillance cameras, so everyone will be well protected. I have three super friendly small/medium size dogs that have been very well socialized and are always SO happy to welcome a new play pal! A 'meet & greet' will ensure we are a good fit:) Photos and or videos will be provided to you everyday. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Looking forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Thanks, ~M As a stay at home mom, with the kiddos in school during the day, I have extra free time to give the dogs the attention and quality care you seek in a pet sitter. Also my husband works from home, so the house is always attended👍 I have been fortunate to have met the most wonderful pet parents who now have been repeat clients for years. A favorite feature is our backyard, located on a one acre property is fenced in and it's as large as a small park, this allows for plenty of healthy exercise and fun play or simply chilling at a favorite spot. I walk the backyard every day to ensure there is no debris that can cause harm to the dogs. Also the yard is kept leveled so that there are no accidents when running. To make sure everyone is well hydrated, fresh clean water is accessible to the dogs every day at all times, inside of the house and in the backyard.
