“I highly recommend Sam. She was absolutely fantastic dropping in to take care of my 4 cats, including administering the one cat's daily inhaler for asthma. Sam was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and thorough in letting me know how everyone was doing. Sam made my babies and myself very comfortable and confident in being very well taken care of. I look forward to having Sam back in future!”
“I am so happy with Lauren. She is very knowledgeable and reliable. She is a master communicator. Job well done. I look forward to having her look after my special kitty in the future.”
“Absolutely outstanding!!! This is my third booking with Jenna and I have another already lined up. She is just amazing with my fur babies and it makes leaving home a whole lot less stressful for me (and the kitties) just knowing I have a trustworthy, loving and caring gal for my fur babies. She does everything I ask and I’m so glad I found her!!! Ten stars for sure.”
“Barbie was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond for us and our pets. Her detailed updates and frequent photos helped put our minds at ease while we were away. It was so comforting knowing our kitties were in such good hands! We will definitely be using Barbie again in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cat since 19. I also had them in the home I grew up in. However, I have also cared for pregnant mommas of both types. Including their babies once born. Are you at work and need a check in / potty break? Dog needs a walk? Vacation time!! Need a babysitter. I’m here for those. Currently not working so I have plenty of time take care of any furbabies that need me. Within my availability depending on my travel dates. I can help out in any basic animal needs so you can feel less worried or in a rush to get home. In my home I can care for your animal in and outside. I do prefer no crates unless in “heat” while another animal is here. No pregnancies on my watch. I do require to know what they are allowed to do in the house normally and what outside for consistency. Travel to your home I ask what specifically you require along with the normal amount of attention any animal would want. And Same here about what’s allowed and not.
About: I’ve always loved animals. I had two Golden Retrievers and three cats who were a huge part of my life. They’ve all passed over the last few years, and while I’m not ready for new pets of my own just yet, I’d love to care for yours. I have a soft spot for Golden Retrievers and could really use one to love right now — but no matter the breed, I’ll treat your pet like family. Whether it’s a walk, a visit, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for. I have a full time job Monday- Thursday. I can be available for drop ins on those evenings if needed. Most Thursdays I’m available after 2. I have off Friday- Sunday and am available for several drop ins and walks When your pet is with me I will treat them as my own. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their quirks, preferences, and routines. My goal is to make them feel at home while you’re away, giving you peace of mind and your pet a new friend they can trust.
About: I have had pets, dogs and cats for over 50 years and love them immensely. I would do anything for them to make them comfortable. I am currently taking care of my mother and my pets so I am available anytime to care for other pets. Anything they need I can do. They are most important to make them feel comfortable and happy I take care of their needs, whatever makes them happy and comfortable. They are my one priority. I can adapt to any environment. I Love animals
“Aaron was great! We have a cat and fish and Aaron did a great job looking after both. Rover is definitely dog focused so finding someone who knew how to look after my non dog pets properly was fantastic.”
About: I've fostered and trained 14 puppies until they found their forever homes, with organizations like R.A.R.E Rescue and Big Fluffy Dog Rescue. I especially love teaching puppies tricks, such as "sit," "spin," "come here," I can teach them to recognize their names, and I can potty and crate train as well. I used to volunteer at the Nashville Humane Society walking and socializing dogs and cats, and I have experience taking care of animals with special needs or special medical instructions. I love taking pictures of cute moments and will make sure any animal staying with me is loved and cared for! I've had both cats, dogs, and a snake as pets, and I have experience petsitting other animals for neighbors such as different reptiles, ferrets, and bunnies, so I'm definitely capable of taking care of any animal with specific instructions. I am self-employed and work from home, so pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. I have flexible hours and can be available for last minute requests. I also have a car to swing by at any time to take dogs on walks throughout the day or even drive to a dog park. I just moved to New York from Tennessee, so I'm a little new to the area. If you have any special requests, I'd love to help out in any way I can!
“Emily's attention to detail, as well as her efficiency, were beyond my expectation. She not only performed tasks as requested, but also helped set up/program an automatic feeder and a fountain that I struggled to figure out. Her communication with me during my vacay kept me up to date on my kitties well-being... and allowed me to enjoy myself knowing my boys were very well cared for. Highly recommend her.”
About: I have been fostering dogs for the past 2 and a half years. Animals are a true passion of mine. I am experienced will all breeds. I have also taken dog training classes. I work most nights. So I am available during the day to check on your pets during the day while you are at work. I understand the feeling it’s great leaving them alone all day. I’m here to help. I care for all pets as they are my own. I love meeting new dogs cats and other animals as well. Pets are truly family members
“Laura was incredible! During our meet-and-greet, she almost blew right by me (in the nicest way) in favor of meeting our Sadie. It is clear how much she loves dogs and Sadie (who is very skidding) warmed up to her easily. Laura communicated frequently to share photos and anecdotes while we were away. It was such a relief knowing Sadie felt safe and comfortable. I would give Laura 6 stars if I could! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 12. Family members and my mom's boss would rely on me to walk, feed. and look after their pets. I've worked with many breeds such as chihuahuas, poodles, terriers to german shepherds, golden retrievers and saint bernards'. I also have a dog of my own so I understand the responsibilities of taking care of a dog since a fairly young age. I have a 2 year old German Shepherd that my family has had since he was 4 months so I have experience with large breed and training experience since I trained my puppy. I am currently in college but also have a lot of time in between classes. I am free Thursdays through Sundays full time:) Taking car of fur babies is such a stress reliever and am always excited to meet a new face The services i offer are dog walking/sitting/boarding. With dog walking I will make sure your dog is taken out every few hours and has play time to be able to to release some energy. Mare sure your dog or dogs are fed at their appropriate times and are always staying hydrated especially after play time:) I offer complimentary services such as bringing in the mail, watering plants, taking out trash etc. At the end of each visit, I will send you a full update on what we did along with pictures to give you a piece of mind while you're away! We can schedule a meet and greet so I can know your pet's regular routine
“We are so pleased with the care that Nikki took with our German Shepherds! Our dogs were extremely well cared for and were very happy to have her play with them. Roeder and Roxy got lots of exercise and had fun with her. We had no worries or concerns, and very much appreciated the photos and consistent communication during our time away. We look forward to having Nikki come visit our dogs in the future. You are the best, Nikki!”
About: I have grown up around animals, as I live on a farm and we have always had dogs or cats as pets. I am very flexible as I work part time at a cafe. I am willing to drive and to take your dog to parks, on walks or hikes or runs, and even the beach if they please. I am currently raising a German Shorthaired Pointer of my own and she has become my whole world. I always feel guilty leaving her home alone during the day or when I am busy so I'd love nothing more than being able to help someone else out when they need someone to check in or relieve their dog. I am willing to work on training and obedience if that is something you are interested in.
About: Dogs must be dog friendly as we have a young, neutered very active 65lb male! He is not dominant/or aggressive but he is definitely ready to play. No small dogs unfortunately. I have owned, rescued and fostered dogs for over 25 years. My dogs have always been my heart. I have been around medium to large breeds, but I'm comfortable with small breeds also. Unfortunately our 60lb young, male may be far too rough for a dog under 25 lbs. I also adore cats, although I've never owned one. I can't have cats inside my home..but I am happy to care for/feed at your home during a drop in visit. Your dog will be treated as if they are my own! Your dog must be able to coincide with other dogs while in our care. We have a young male, neutered boy who loves to play and loves other dogs. I'm home the entire time your dog is in my care, and if I did need to run out for an errand, I will check with you as to how you prefer your pet to be safely alone. Our home is temperature regulated, the energy is calm and we have a great property for exercise or lounging by the lake. Our neighbor's dogs do come onto our property periodically, so please let me know if this is a problem. Your pet's stay will be far more comfortable than any luxury style suite or commercial boarding facility. They will have my full attention and TLC throughout the day, with plenty of outside time! I will keep in contact via text and phone the entire time I have your pet in my care, while sharing photos. I know and understand the anxiety a pet owner has while being away from their pet. I watch the way a person treats their pets as I think it says a lot about who they are! I do have 2 older children, one lives with me. Both of my kids have grown up with animals and adore them. I have worked in special education for years and also have owned my own business. I currently am an online college student, studying for my Master's Degree in social work and a real estate agent. When your pets stay with me, I am home with them. I'll assure your sweet pup is well looked after and comfortable while in my care! Our home is your pet's home while they are my guest. They are treated as family and have free run of the home as you wish. If your pet needs to be crated while here, please let me know beforehand.
“April is so great! She took excellent care of my cat who is very lovable and doesn’t like to be alone for too long. She sent photos and a perfect update after dropping by my house to care for him. I have asked her to come back already for another sitting! Thank you again”
