“Rachel has been great with my dog Hazel. She is great at communicating and letting me know the little details of the visit beyond just the path and basic report. I feel confident that my dog is in good hands while I am at work.”
About: I am passionate about animals, taking care of them, loving them, especially since they are not able to communicate for themselves. Dogs are amazing creatures and full of unconditional love and being with them every day is a pure joy and doesn't feel like a job. I go above and beyond to take care of these animals, which are family. I am very loving, kind, reliable, dependable and enjoy being with dogs, petting them, being affectionate with them and taking care of them is very rewarding. This is not just a job for me, it is a passion and a joy to be with dogs of all kinds, walking with them, taking care of them, talking to them is very rewarding. Thank you very much. I’m available for pet care because pet care is my full time job and it’s my passion for the past decade and I love it I will care for them as you tell me too. I give lots of love and care and petting. Animals love to be pet continually
About: I have 2 dogs, a cat, and a turtle! They each have unique needs that I tend to in our daily lives. I am an animal lover at heart! Our pets are our family and they deserve the best care we can give them. I am here to help lend a helping hand in giving your pet the best care possible. Whether you are going away for the weekend, or need someone to check-in while you are at work. I am willing to work with all kinds of animals and breeds. I am here to help! I am currently searching for work, and have lots of time at the beginning, middle, and end of the day to help give your pets the attention they need! I’m able to house sit if you are traveling, as well as available for dog walks and check-ins as needed! My animals each have unique needs when it comes to the attention they need and their diet. I carve out time in the day to give the special attention to each animal, that they deserve. I have a special relationship with each of my animals and couldn’t imagine life without them!
About: I have had pets since I was a baby. I had two rabbits who I took care of during my childhood, such as feeding and brushing. When I was around 10 years old we adopted my current dog, who I walk and play with frequently. My family often petsits other animals as well, mostly dogs. I have helped with catering to these dogs needs since I was 9 and have always loved getting the opportunity to take care of them! These experiences have taught me the responsibility necessary to actually take care of animals. I am available to pet sit the entire week except on Mondays. I am a very flexible person and do not mind cancellations or late notices. I have a large yard my dog loves to play in, along with The Canal Trail as a 2 minute walk away from my house. I often take toys from our large toy box to go out into the yard and play with him.
About: The prices for house sitting are overnight prices. If you require 24 hour care without a break, the price would double. Overnight / Live-In Stays: This typically includes staying at the home from roughly evening through morning (often around 6:00 PM to 10:00 AM. I love dogs. I have been taking care of dogs and cats for over 15 years and it brings me great joy to be able to pursue a career with animals. I will treat your fur baby as if he was my own. While your fur baby is in my care I will treat them as family! I am available every day to care for your pet! I can do drop ins, feed your pet and walk him. I also can do overnight boarding in my home or yours! I can send reports and pictures throughout the visits to ease your mind. Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions! I respond quickly to emails and texts! I hope to see you soon! Thank you! I’m currently at home full time. Your pet will never be left unattended outside and will receive the proper care at all times. Water is provided all day along with snacks and meals. I love to house sit and the pets are more comfortable in their environment. After Covid I find that the pets have higher than normal anxiety in other person’s homes which makes it uncomfortable and unfair to the household and the pet itself.
About: What sets me apart is my experience with large breeds and special skills in puppy training and senior dog care. I ensure all dogs receive the appropriate care, love, and attention they need. As a part-time remote worker, I have the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my routine. This allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day, ensuring your pets are happy and well-cared for. Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are my priorities. In my home, I provide a secure, pet-friendly space. In clients' homes, I maintain their routines and ensure a safe, familiar setting, always prioritizing their well-being.
About: I grew up with as many as 5 cats and two dogs at a time. I am familiar with caring for most pets including rodents and fish. I work from home so taking a break to walk or feed pets is not an issue. There is even some extra time to give them some attention too! My dog has free roaming permission in the backyard and we also have a cage for large dogs available. For visiting dogs we walk them on a leash since they are not familiar with the area.

“Steve was fantastic with my three dogs! His calm, easygoing energy made a noticeable difference right away. One of my dogs, Dolly, typically needs some time to warm up to new people but almost immediately she was walking happy and relaxed. This honestly blew me away. It's clear Steve has a natural way with dogs. I'd highly recommend him, especially if you have a pup that can be a little hesitant with strangers. We'll definitely be booking again!”
“Alex came over every weekday to walk and play with my Morkie, Kimchi, while I was in Scotland for a month. Alex sent me pictures of Kimchi and gave me a report on what they did every day -- it was great! I came home to a happy, relaxed dog, so I know he had a good time. I felt reassured that he was doing well, and I plan to have Alex continue to visit from time to time so they can keep up their friendship. This was the next best thing to having Kimchi with me! I highly recommend Alex.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 8 years old and got my very first dog. I love all types of dogs, I can even handle aggressive dogs with ease! I always love to spend my free time with animals. Any availability I have is used to to go towards my pets and hopefully yours! I never let animals I don't know very well be off leash outside without my supervision, it is dangerous to me to be careless like that. I never take it too fast and id love to scedule a meet and greet.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
