About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting and had my own dog for many years. Now, I have experience from drop-in visits to extended overnight stays, with many different types of needs. I’m dedicated to caring for a pet the same way their owner would and look forward to spending time with animals. I work from home most days and can accommodate a flexible potty schedule and activity level. I enjoy taking breaks to spend with pets, to get outside or tuck in on the sofa! I have an enclosed garden and large, unfenced yard. We are well back from the main road so pets are welcome to explore the neighborhood.
“Kadyona was dependable and easy to communicate with. She took care of my two cats over five visits. My cats enjoyed having someone to spend time with them and give attention and playtime.”
“Once again Alisha has done an amazing job looking after our two cats! She follows directions to a T and is always super communicative. Our cats seem to love her as well. Will definitely be booking again.”
“We could not have asked for a better cat sitter for our two girls! Rory answered our last minute request for cat care after our usual sitter fell through, then took the time and dedication to drop in and visit them twice a day. Not only did she see to their basic needs, she went above and beyond to play with them to ensure they were not bored or lonely while we were away. Not to mention the adorable and sometime hilarious pictures she sent everyday! I would recommend Rory to anyone looking for a pet sitter. 11/10! 😊”
“Stephanie did a marvelous job taking care of my very senior (19 yo) cat in my home while I was gone. She came twice a day to feed her, clean up, give medication, brush, pet and hug her. She texted me pictures and updates at every visit. Peaches looked better when I got back than she did when I left! I highly recommend Stephanie as a very dependable and caring petsitter.”
About: Growing up in England we had beloved family dogs. Our second dog now is very much part of our family. If I can help you out with your pet I would be happy to! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I can easily do drop in feed and let out visits and walks on an as needed basis. I am available to drop into your home to feed and take care of your dog’s needs including affection! I would be happy to do custom walks too.
About: Animals are children to me. Grew up with many dogs/cats & birds! Offer great at home visits to exercise, play & feed your pets! Strong, driven individual that can handle multiple large dogs at a time. Also have trained many puppies through my youth and adult life, so can handle the little ones too! Respectful to clients and pets alike, understanding the value and security of your home and neighborhood. Will always walk dogs until they poop and pee; will pet and play with them during walks and visits. Please do not hesitate to ask questions or request supplemental services. You will not regret picking me as your animals caretaker!! I am working part time with a flexible schedule, so boarding your dog takes priority. I wake up early each morning and retire around 9p I have many trails in the back of our property, with hills and fields to run in. Dogs are given all the love I can muster in the home and out on walks or hikes! Very safe environment for your dog
“Sabrina was on time, responsible, communicative, and clearly liked Maya. She listened carefully and looked after her just as I would have wanted. Her drop in visit enabled me to focus fully on attending a funeral out of state where we drove roundtrip in one day. Look forward to having her walk Maya next time.”
“Ali was great, sent photos and updates with each visit and was great to work with on booking, will book with her again!”
“Holly is fantastic! Sh's dependable with a tangible connection to animals. My dog is always happy to see her and I feel safe knowing that my dog is in great hands!”
“Erin has been fantastic and flexible with our schedule. Highly recommend!”
About: When I was 8 years old, I started my own pet sitting business in the neighborhood. I made my own business cards and handed them out to all my neighbors. I’ve taken care of many neighborhood dogs and cats over the years, and have been a trusted source to call upon since I was a young girl. Growing up, I attended summer camps at the local humane society to be near animals, and at the age of 16 began volunteering. At the age of 13, my puppy charlie was brought into the family alongside my cat, so I’ve had personal hands-on experience caring for pets of my own through the years! I also love to be active; alongside my enthusiasm for going on walks, I also love to run and go on hikes; if you feel comfortable entrusting me with your furry family member, I would love to take your dog on adventures of their own (easy jogs/walks, hikes) to make sure they get plenty of exercise while you’re away! This way your dog gets a little staycation of their own :) I teach piano lessons alongside working part time, so I’m typically not away from home for crazy long! I have an abundance of time and energy to care for your pet. It is of the utmost importance for me to be respectful in your home. I will do everything in my power to ensure that you feel comfortable with me in your personal space, and will respect any/all boundaries. Leaving your pet with another person is scary! The last thing I want is for you to spend your time away feeling overly stressed about the care your pet and your home is receiving. I will send you daily updates on your pet, and will also ensure I’m clean, tidy, and leave your home looking even better than you left it!
About: Hello! I'm excited to spend some time caring for your furry loved ones! I've had animals all my life, ranging from birds, frogs, and sugar gliders- to cats and dogs! I love animals of all shapes and sizes. Basically, if you need it done, I can do it. I’m incredibly observant and in tune with the needs of animals mentally and physically. I'm here on a mission to provide my pup Murphy with the backyard, and time off, that he deserves! We are a manners first, and positive reinforcement household. I really enjoy training time for simple things, like waiting patiently to be released, and food time manners. You and your pets will receive far more than a walk and some love with me on the job!
About: I promise to keep your fur baby safe and happy as can be while you're away. I will provide playtime, walks, cuddles and a lot of attention. I am very interactive and not afraid to be goofy in order to make a genuine connection with your pet. Don't be afraid to leave me detailed instructions- I get it and have fur and feathered babies of my own! I am able to walk up to 2 to 3 big dogs at a time and feel confident in my abilities to give commands and appropriate rewards/disciplines. If your pet(s) gets dirty, I will bathe them as well as clean up any messes that occur. I also will keep your home sweet home neat and tidy so you never come home to a mess. I have grown up with pets and have always owned one or two.. okay, maybe 3 at a time. I make genuine connections with animals (wild ones, too) and would love to give them the opportunity to get outside all season long (even in the winter). If your pet would like an adventure buddy and companion who will distract them from your absence then give me a shout. Feel free to contact me with questions and concerns. I would be more than happy to chat with you!
About: Hi, my name is Sam and I have over 10 years of experience pet sitting! I mostly pet sit for dogs and cats of many backgrounds - fostered kittens and retired race greyhounds, energetic dogs to elderly dogs and cats. I have experience administering medications and shots for diabetic dogs. I worked seasonly on a farm for 4 years in Vermont and I fed/cared for chickens and alpacas on the field. I also have experience caring for reptiles - I had a gecko and amphibians for 17 years. I am a teacher, so my summers are pretty flexible. My school year starts the end of August, so my availability by then will be open after 3:30pm Monday-Friday. On weekends, I am more flexible about timing. I am a big outdoor enthusiast - mountain biker, skier, hiker. If you need a dog walker or sitter, I would love for your dog to come join in on the fun! I can walk your pet outside in the neighborhood if you just need a drop in. If you have a routine for your pet/s, I am happy to stick with that to help them feel comfortable and at home. If you need help with overnights, I am happy to discuss the length of days needed. I will send photos and videos while you are away!
