Taylor was great with our cats and left detailed notes that helped put us at ease while we were gone. It was clear they took a liking to her and she took the time to play with them. I would not hesitate to book her again!

About: I went to Northampton community college where I graduated with my associates degree in veterinarian technician. I also am working currently as a vet tech and love animals so much. I have 3 of my own, yorkie , and 2 pit bulls. Animals are my passion ! I am very dedicated in taking care of your animals. I know about dogs , cats, rabbits , mice , horse and cows and goats. In college I had to care and perform on all. I train my animals time to time and eventually want to go back to college or get a certification in dog training. I love teaching my dogs new tricks or new behaviors that can help them. In college I cared for two Pomeranians that were super cute and playful. I boarded and as well as walked them on days client needed when away. I love every second of just having fun and exercise with your pets! I can walk dogs when I do have my day off work at another job. I love taking care of them when needed. I can always work around my schedule but mornings most likely, I have an alternate shifts from night and mornings each week but if you let me know what your availability is I can cater to that if need to be. Work schedule right now that I can do Monday : 7am-9am or anything after 7pm Tuesday : 7am-9am or anything after 7pm Wed : anytime :) Thursday : after 1pm only Friday: 7am-9am or anything after 7pm Sat: anytime :) Sunday: anything after 10:30am Boarding in your home : sat and Sundays and if weekdays, would have to know week advance due to work I always make sure they are well taking care of. Pets are like humans and should be treated with kindness. I always make sure my dogs are fed and taken out when they need to. I am compassionate and care for your animals like they are my own ! I do not unfortunately offer in home service right now but I can do dog walking and boarding in your homes .

Maeve is excellent with my dog, who is somewhat picky. She is trustworthy, reliable, responsible and caring. I had total peace of mind when I was away on vacation, knowing that she would be with my fur baby during the day. She is a dog lover and has her own dogs, but she really related to my baby and took great care of her. I highly recommend Maeve.

Cassidy looked after our cat and dog while we were away at our wedding. Our dog has some anxiety issues which Cassidy handled with grace, despite us not being the easiest to reach during this time. I could tell from her updates that the pets warmed to her quickly, and that she truly cares for each pet under her watch. So grateful for Cassidy's help and would recommend her to anyone whose pets need a little extra TLC.

Alexis did an amazing job looking after my pet while Ii was away on vacation. She gave me great feedback every day on Piper’s condition with many pictures. She always went the extra mile to make sure Piper was happy and healthy. If someone is in need of service like this, I would recommend giving her a call. Thanks Bill

About: I have been an avid animal lover since I received my first puppy as a child. I taught my beloved spaniel how to sit and lay down, and he taught me patience and responsibility. I cared for him until he sadly left us at 17 years old. My experience taught me that our fur babies are here for such a short time, and they deserve the absolute best we can give them. I have extended this mindset into my care of several other pets throughout my life including my four cats and bonus fur babies that I pet sit. My current clients range from small to large breed dogs. I have gained extensive experience with senior pets and the special needs that come with them as well as pets with medical needs. As a college student working part time, I hope to expand my business and do what I love full time. I currently work 9-5 part-time, leaving me with plenty of free time including weekends. I am flexible in my schedule and availability, and always strive to provide pets in my care with as much attention and care as they would receive in their homes. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of indoor space. I have four friendly cats of my own but available space to keep pets in my care separate in the case that they are less then enthusiastic about cats. I offer in house pet sitting as well to those who prefer their fur babies to remain in their own environment. I have a valid NJ Driver's license and a reliable vehicle large enough to transport big breeds. Additionally I have plenty of experience administering medications and treatments safely.
