About: I enjoy fostering dogs to help get more information about their personalities and in turn help them get adopted. I have also been a dog sitter for family and friends for years. I enjoy practicing my dog training hobby. I believe the more training a dog has the happier they will be. They will know their boundaries and what makes their human happy thus creating a positive environment. I currently work full-time from home therefore daycare or walks are the most ideal services for me. If we have a good established relationship (human to human and dog to human) I am open to overnight says. I have a larger fenced yard however the fence is vertically challenged. I like and want to go for a couple walks a day. I have a daughter who loves dogs and is very good with them. She's a gentle and loves to help train, feed or just sit and pet them.

“I have 2 high energy babies & she did amazing w both of them & they took to her very quickly. If you need someone to walk or care for your babies, I highly recommend her!”

I think they can sense when a good person is around. I think dogs are one of the smartest and most intuitive animals around. I love to play with dogs and love taking them on walks. We can even play fetch or cuddle, whatever they like. You can trust me with your dogs and have no worries they are being taken care of properly. I will be your pet’s BFF.

About: Hi! My name is Fallon and I am here to give loving, patient, reliable care to your pets. I have been around animals my whole life. This includes dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I enjoy all of them. I have previously worked as a vet assistant . I am a frequent visitor to the Isle of Wight animal shelter, where i walk the dogs. I have also fostered both cats and dogs and found them their forever homes. I am patient, loving, reliable and have experience handling all types of breeds. Please contact me for your animal needs . Thank you! I’m a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule. I am available mostly in the mornings when my kids are in school and can do some afternoons Safety and trust with dogs come from understanding their behavior and creating a calm, respectful environment. When people interact gently, respect a dog’s space, and pay attention to signs of stress, dogs are more likely to feel secure and respond positively. Consistent routines, supervision—especially around children—and clear boundaries help build trust, reduce fear, and keep both people and dogs safe.
“Armonee was fantastic! She was incredibly reliable and took such great care of my dog while I was away. It’s such a relief to find someone I can trust completely. Highly recommend her services!”

I ensure their environment is clean, provide fresh food and water, and engage in regular play and exercise. I also send daily updates and photos to keep owners informed about their pet’s well-being. My goal is to provide personalized, attentive care that meets each pet’s specific needs, whether at my home or theirs.
About: Hello! My name is Kelsey. All of my life I have felt at home with animals (of ALL kinds). My dream is to one day run my own dog rescue. Until then, I've chose to submerge myself in doing what I love most. And that's being with animals. I have 4 cats and 3 dogs (along with my husband and son) at my home. They are so very spoiled and loved. I would absolutely love to be your pet sitter and more importantly...your pets friend when missing their human. I have several years of dog training experience, although I am NOT certified yet. (Worked with dogs at a boarding and training facility and also in a few dog boarding and daycare facilities.), so I have a decent amount of knowledge when it comes to helping with training and dogs with small temperament issues. I also have experience with senior dogs. I also have experience with reptiles, fish, rodents, AND farm animals. So please don't hesitate to ask about that! (Also, PLANTS!) I will stay overnight, as needed, as long as I'm available and my families schedules allow it. I am currently in school for my Bachelor's degree. I have plenty of time when I am not studying. My schooling is mainly online so I'm flexible when it comes to when and where I study and do my school work, so I can always bring it with me if needed. My son has football practice and games throughout the week, but I can always schedule accordingly to make sure it works and his father is home from work. I will always try to make it work and be accommodating. I care for all of my clients pets as if they were my own. Plenty of attention, love, affection, and respect. Many people forget that pets need respect like the rest of us, and I always make it a point to respect my clients pets boundaries and certain routines that they are use to.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life.

My partner won’t let me get any more animals, so I would love to care for all of yours instead! I am a teacher and looking for summer, and break, work. I am practically available all day! I would be a fool to not do something that I love to occupy my days. I have a very energetic 1 year old, fully vaccinated, puppy that would love to run around with your fur babies. She has a bigger brother and sister, so size is not a problem for her. I also have 2 cats of my own so have experience with both.
About: I grew up with and have worked with animals all of my life - dogs, cats, horses, guinnea pigs, hamsters, cattle, etc. I became a licensed veterinary technician 13 years ago and love seeing the furry faces that bring so much joy to so many. I have experience with all ages of animals, but have a special place in my heart for older kids. If you need help with your fur-child, I’m here! I’m between things right now, figuring life out. I’m pretty open besides when I have my daughter. I’m currently dog-less so seeing your puppy will really make my day! I want the time you are away from your pup to be as comfortable as possible. I will do whatever it is that will accomplish that. A schedule is so very important to them so let’s keep it!
“Robbyn was excellent! She was reliable and responsive. She would answer my questions at all hours of the day. She allowed my dog to go at his own pace and even picked up on his little nuances like wanting to carry his own leash. Highly recommended!”

About: Im currently in vet tech school and I have included photos of the some of the dogs i own, rescued, and babysat over the years. Your babies are in good hands. I’m currently working par-time, because of school and this would help gain more experience with caring for and handling different animals with the field I'm going into. I have a fenced backyard with four other dogs who are friendly and would love to meet other dogs. But i have no problem keeping them separate if that is what you would prefer.
