About: With years of pet care experience, I provide safe, reliable and loving attention so that your pet feels comfortable and loved in a calm environment.

I am very reliable and committed to treating your pets like family whether in my home or your home by creating a calm comfortable space.

“We were nervous about leaving Ace, but Luie assured us that Ace was in good hands and that was the truth! Luie was very attentive and communicated with us all weekend. Luie will be our go-to whenever we travel.”


About: I have experience with dogs, cats, and small animals (gerbils, tortoises, snakes and rats). I also have my own cat, Baba. I have experience with special needs animals, should your fur baby require any special care. My work schedule is stable and I know my schedule a month or two in advance. I am flexible with same day bookings and am willing to accommodate late visits. I will do my best to work with any situation. Just let me know if you have any special requests and it will get done!

“We have found a great person for our girl Sadie. I have test and respect for Liz. She communicates with us. Sadie loves her and knows her name. If we say Liz, Sadie looks out the window for her. Awesome!!!”


About: Hello! My name is Teresa! I work full-time on the weekdays but I have weekends free for dog sitting. I have been a dog sitter for a few of my neighbors in the past for fun. Your dog(s) will have a nice house to run around in, we'll take long walks around the neighborhood, going to the Bowers beach, playing in the sand. Since its only me in the house, they will have my undivided attention and love. In the summer, they will be cool, and in the winter, they will be warm by the fireplace. I truly enjoy the company of pets and I look forward to providing you peace of mind and the utmost in care for you and your four legged family members!

About: I have been fortunate to have had pets since I was a child: Cats, dogs, parrots, and reptiles. All of my pets have been rescues. Since my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was from a puppy mill, she had numerous health problems, resulting in paralysis later in life. But, she was able to adapt to a doggie quad cart and absolutely loved going for long walks in a stroller. While she required a great deal of hands-on care for many years, she lived a pain-free, long and happy life. My dog, Pepper, is a playful, energetic, loving black lab mix, who was taught that the little dogs are always the boss! She loves nothing more than to be around other dogs. My Beardie, Otis, loved baths, and he enjoyed spending time looking out the window, watching all of the activity, and being outside in the sunshine in the summertime. Devastatingly, he passed away, but I kept his vivarium and lamps with the hopes that I will be able to pet sit other beardies. I am experienced giving medications, and I have had training in working with dogs. Animals make my heart happy! I find that it is much less stressful on your baby if he/she can come and visit at least twice prior to being left here for the first time. Preferably, if one of those visits is one day of daycare. I pet sit when I can be available full time, so your pup will be taken care of by me personally at all times, not left alone, not left outside or in a kennel or in a basement, and not left in a child’s or teen’s care while I work. House sitting and boarding rates cover a 24 hour period of time, so you are not charged additional daytime pet sitting rates. I will shower your baby with attention and provide endless opportunities for play. Depending upon the weather and your pup’s normal activity level, we will walk for 1 to 3 miles twice per day plus go out for potty breaks every 2-3 hours, or we will take lots of short walks. I always use a leash when outdoors. It is very important for me to know if your dog has any triggers or becomes aggressive in certain situations, so that I can avoid those things. I will always have your baby's best interest at heart. This is not a kennel, nor is it a kennel-like set up. Rain or shine, or sleet or snow, I take the dogs for walks. Therefore, it is very important that your dog is leash trained and friendly. If your dog requires leash, potty, and/or behavioral training to stop marking, there will be an additional $10 per day charge for each day that it happens. I will do my best to get your dog leash trained well enough so that I am not yanked down the stairs and dragged down the street, but the training duration depends upon the dog. The same goes for pottying and marking. I will do my best, but please, for the sake of your dog, practice these things regularly throughout their lives.


“Chrissy is the best! She genuinely seems to love our dogs and they are so excited to see and her and go on walks. She is very flexible and accommodating and super responsive. We are so thankful to have her for our pups!”


About: I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my teen to adult years. I volunteered at a rescue taking care of mostly the cats. I’ve previously helped rescue kittens and dogs. I’ve always had animals around me. I’m a very big animal lover. I currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs and cat sit a kitten from time to time. I give the cats baths maybe once a month and the dogs weekly and I routinely walk the dogs. I watch the dogs while they’re outside while also giving them extra love. I love taking dogs on walks. I play with cats and even bring along toys that I know my cats love.

Ever since then my friends were asked me to walk their dogs when they’re at practice or babysit while their family are gone on vacation. I’m currently employed and home for the summer until August until I go back for school so your pets will be comfortable here at any time of the day. So we have a big neighborhood and my house has a decent size yard but we do not have the yard fenced up.
