“Kyle is a great pet sitter, he was very conscientious of the animals needs and was great in the house. He kept me up to date and sent pictures and updates. My dogs loved him! I highly recommend.”


About: I have grown up with 4 dogs maximum in my house. I am super comfortable around any dog. Sweet, kind, aggressive, scared, anxious and whatever else you have to throw at me! I love dogs of all age! Puppies and old fur babies will be loved the same! Let’s connect! I am fairly open and will constantly communicate. I work at a dentist office and I clean pools in the summer! I’m also doing my masters online. I keep the house in the condition it was left to me, I’m able to take out the trash, water flowers and bring in mail. I will fully be in communication with the owners. The animals will always have their breakfast, dinner and treats! If medicine is needed, I will try my best to give that to them. Walks and playing in the backyard is a must! I am more than happy to share the bed with them as well. The most important factor is the endless cuddles!

Currently available for dog walks , pop ins, for vacations, long work days, or extra exercise. I love all animals, and love meeting new pets!

About: I am a loving and caring person who loves to take care of animals. My current job is flexible, I work from home (I work with mental health clients) which makes me available for you when you need me. I have had dogs all my life and know how to make them happy. My most recent dog was a yellow lab who passed away in Feb 2021 at 13 years old. Before that I had a pit mix. I can call or text you while I’m with your pet to keep you well informed of how he/she is doing. I am a kind and gentle person who would love the opportunity of taking care of your pet. Currently I am living in Rocky Point with my 20 Year old daughter and have a lot of flexibility as to hours. Pet care falls easily into my daily routine as I work from home. My hours are very flexible. I am available at short notice and don’t mind if you need to cancel last minute. I have a good sized fenced yard. I also have the space to crate your fur baby if necessary. I enjoy taking them on walks you’d like and live a great neighborhood for dog walking (away from main road).

“Emma was amazing. She took the time to make sure Jack felt completely comfortable with her so they could enjoy a great evening together. He can be a little anxious around people, but he warmed up to her right away. She naturally gives off an animal lover’s energy that both pets and humans can sense. She asks thoughtful questions to ensure she’s following your dog’s care instructions closely and even sends pictures to keep you reassured throughout the experience. We are so thankful we found her here.”


“Our pup has some separation anxiety and is a little high maintenance and Paula did such a great job with her. She is clearly an animal lover and gives your pet the attention needed to give you peace of mind when you have to leave them. We appreciate her taking such good care of our baby and will definitely use her again in the future!!”


“Michelle was very flexible and accommodating with scheduling. She showed up early and was enthusiastic to spend time with my dog from the minute she stepped through our door. She provided me with an update of their time spent together. When I returned my dog was happy as ever and must have had a great time since he went to sleep early tonight. I am so grateful to have found a sitter that I feel confident leaving my dog with!!”

About: I bring years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments—including puppies, high-energy dogs, senior pets, and shy or special-needs cats. I’m comfortable with administering medications (oral, topical, and injections), caring for pets with anxiety, and supporting senior animals with mobility issues or extra comfort needs. What sets me apart is my calm, attentive nature and my ability to quickly bond with animals. I tailor each visit to fit your pet’s unique personality—whether that means structured play and training for a puppy, slow walks and joint care for a senior dog, or quiet companionship for a sensitive cat. I’m also a bit of a neat freak, so I make sure litter boxes, food bowls, and pet spaces stay fresh and clean. I care for your pets like they’re family—because that’s exactly how they deserve to be treated. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I build my schedule around the needs of the fur babies I care for. Whether it’s morning feedings, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I’m flexible and dependable. I prioritize consistency and create a calm, familiar environment for each pet, making sure they feel secure even when their humans are away. Whether it’s a short visit or an extended stay, I’m fully present and committed to giving your pets the care and attention they deserve every single day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, safety, trust, and respect are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions to the letter, from feeding schedules and medication needs to favorite toys and hiding spots. I make sure doors, windows, and food storage are secure, and I’m mindful of any hazards specific to your home or your pets behavior. I treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own—clean, tidy, and exactly as you left it. I also provide regular updates with photos or messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and in loving hands.

About: Super caring, reliable and responsible. I’ll treat your furbaby like my own! I’ve had dogs and cats since childhood and began walking my neighbor’s dogs at age 9. Making money doing something I truly love has always been especially rewarding. I’m experienced with all sizes, breeds, ages and temperaments. Some of the breeds I’ve rescued, fostered and cared for include Pointers, Terriers, Retrievers, Chihuahuas, Doodles, Bulldogs, Mutts and designer dogs. As well as cats, bunnies birds and reptiles. I love them all equally! I take whatever approach necessary to tailor my care and attention to match your pup’s needs, whether they are high energy or easy breezy…I will be sure to provide a great experience for them. Your dog and I can go for walks or hang in your yard. Go on play dates or spend quality time…a one on one game of fetch or just snuggles. Regardless, your baby will always be safe and happy in my care. My goal is to provide a loving atmosphere where your pup is always my priority. I’m currently available to do home visits and walks at your home after 5pm and until 9pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. Available 8am to 9pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I can make multiple home visits per day if needed. I’m happy that stay at your home to care for your pets while you’re away. Available 7 days a week. Available for boarding Thursday after 5pm, Friday, Saturday & Sunday for 24 hr boarding, also doggy day-care in my home and for walks. I can also do pick-ups and drop-offs. I live in a multi-level town house with a large fenced patio area together with my Chihuahua and my dog-loving, former, stray cat. My furry friends will receive tons of affection and nice long walks throughout their stay. Your pups are welcome to roam free while they are my guests. I also invite them to hang in my fully furnished basement, known as the Wags Lounge, set up to accommodate multiple dogs at a time. Furnished with a large sofa, fluffy dog beds, soft blankets, snuggle floor mats, tons of toys, fresh filtered water, treats, cool A/C, flatscreen TV and streaming music or stress relieving sounds for those nervous visitors. I also have crates available for those who prefer to sleep crated. I am located on a beautiful, gated property with endless grass and trees, perfect for long walks in a super dog-friendly community. My priority is to provide a safe, comfortable and relaxing environment while caring for your baby during their stay! My property is under exterior/interior surveillance to ensure their safety at all times. I’ll even send you updates including pics and details of their experience while in my care so you can rest easy that your pup is in good hands!

I currently work on the weekends and have lots of time to sit, walk, and play with your pups throughout the week.

About: I grew up with dogs all my life, from puppies to seniors I always made sure they always had the best dog life to live. It is important to always be flexible for your fur babies because they are just as unpredictable as humans are. I always make sure to always be attentive to their needs and never neglect them when they need you the most. Dogs as they get older develop their own routines themselves and will make sure their humans are aware of it too which is important to always pay attention. I care for the pets in my home and others by always respecting their boundaries and always making sure they are comfortable and safe first.
