16. Thomas C.
About: For most of my life, I have owned, loved, boarded, fostered, and/or cared for a broad range of animals, including dogs (small and large), cats (domesticated and feral), hamsters, rabbits, chickens, fish, one gerbil, one parrot, and a handful of reptiles. (I've also spent some time on farms learning husbandry.) From this comes experience with the full cycle of life with companion animals - birth, adolescence, training, advancements, setbacks, accidents, illness, aging, and loss. I'm no stranger to providing extra potty breaks for puppies (our interests are mutually aligned) or with giving daily medications. For the first time in many years, my home is without a pet of my own - let me dote on yours when you can't. I'm a retired(ish) attorney and veteran now working from home with plenty of time and attention to give to your fur babies. Regular walks and exercise are an important part of our routine. My property is ~ 2 acres, large portions of which are fenced but couldn't be properly described as secured. Your dog's temperament will determine whether it can roam / play / fetch unleashed, but in no event will dogs be outside unattended. Inside, I try to make my home as welcoming and comforting for your pets as I would hope would be done for mine - animals are allowed on the furniture and are invited to sleep where they please, unless you instruct otherwise.
17. Amy D.
“Amy takes wonderful care of our Pup, taking him on long walks and always making sure they get some time by the river! She is flexible and accommodating, highly recommend!”
18. Anna F.
“Anna was able to book on fairly short notice for a holiday weekend and was absolutely amazing with my nervous dog again. I will keep reaching out for walks, no doubt!”
19. Alexander S.
“For a couple of years now, Alex has been staying at my home with my three-year-old mixed-breed cattle dog, Quico, when the humans in my family go on vacation. We leave Alex detailed instructions on how to provide Quico the best care, including food, medicine, and physical/mental fulfillment, since he is a high-energy dog, which they always follow. Quico also absolutely loves Alex, so I know Quico is in good hands when we go out of town -- emotionally and physically. Alex also is very responsive to my texts checking in on my beloved puppy dog, in addition to sending occasional adorable pictures and updates. Excellent care for my dog!”
20. Morgan T.
About: I've been caring for animals since 10 years old. I grew up with both cats and dogs. I currently own 2 cats that I adore. I am experienced with administering medications, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, dog walking etc. I am reliable and currently have a very flexible schedule. I just moved here from Boston, MA so I am currently looking for employment in the healthcare field. During this time, I have a very free schedule. I can provide frequent drop-in visits, spending the day/night, whatever is needed! I would follow all instructions provided by the pet parent and if there are any questions, I will contact clarify. I would care for the pet as if it were my own.
