“Tawny has been so great! We have boarded with her three times now and she has been my first choice any time we need! Great communication, sends pics, loves our dog and integrates him into her schedule/family while he is there. He loves being there. She has been so flexible and accommodating with pick ups and schedules. Definitely recommend her!”


“Thank you, thank you, thank you! Bruce felt so at home. Sarah and her family treated our dog like family. They followed his cues to go outside and cuddled with him. Highly recommend!”



“Mary Jane is the best! She took great care of Toby and sent me updates with photos each day. It put my heart at ease knowing my dog was relaxed, having fun, and well taken care of. I will absolutely utilize her as my care taker for Toby when needed moving forward!”


About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was a child. I know how special and precious they are to their owners. Every dog I look after is treated as if they were my own! I currently work Monday through Thursday each week. I can still board dogs that are house trained and can wait 8 hours for a potty break on those days. Weekends are all freed up for nothing but fun and playtime. I have a fenced in yard with a small koi pond. The pups love watching the fish and chasing the frogs. The yard is wide open with lots of room to run and play. My house is very dog friendly, clean, and safe. I do have a 3 year old boxer female who is spayed. She is extremely dog friendly and sweet. I provide all dog bowls, treats, and lots of toys to play with.

“Celsei was well-prepared to take care of my kitties. She sent me pics and videos during their stay with her. Celsei was very flexible with meeting with me, and she sent the kitties home with some new toys and treats.”


“Becky has been awesome! She’s very communicative, sends us photos of our dogs everyday we’re gone, and I can tell how much she cares about our dogs. She is very thoughtful and tries to be flexible to meet your needs. I couldn’t recommend Becky enough!!!”


“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Cooper. Thomas has a love for pets, and treated mine like his own. He arranged a meet and greet, which put me and my dog at ease. I had never left him with anyone before, and seriously considered not making my trip because I was nervous about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know. After meeting Thomas, I was no longer worried, because it was obvious to me that my dog would get love and good care. Cooper had a blast there, especially with Thomas’ dog, Maple, and felt right at home from the get-go. I’m sure he misses them, and would love to meet up with them again some day!”


“Kim took such good care of Dutch! I would use her 1000x over again. She was so patient with him he came from a rough situation and we weren’t sure how he was going to do with having to go to a sitter that he didn’t know but she took her time letting him warm up to her. I can’t thank her enough.”


“Derek showed particular interest in wanting to make sure I thought his home had enough space for my dog and that the arrangement would work for him (it did, and it did). My dog did well with him throughout the weekend, and he was amenable to my somewhat flexible timeline for pickup. I would leave my dog with him again.”


About: Hi! I would love to get to know your pets and give them all of the cuddles <3 I have experience cat and dog sitting for family and friends. I have grown up with dogs my whole life! My family dogs have a special place in my heart <3 They are between the ages of 8yrs and 10yrs. So, I've gotten transitional experience into taking care of senior dogs. The littlest of the two was diagnosed as a diabetic 3 years ago. So, I am well versed in administering under-the-skin injections and oral medications. Currently, I only have one cat living with me. She is a domestic medium-hair, and just over a year old. Even though I adopted her last May, she still has so much kitten energy and keeps me on my toes. As a graduated senior, I am quickly approaching an open-schedule. I work with the university, but my shifts are incredibly flexible. Additionally, I make it a point to not work the weekends, so I have 100% availability. I have the pleasure to have a fenced in backyard in a quiet, residential neighborhood. Your pets will have quick access for potty breaks and outside play time. The B-line trail is also just behind our house, so we can plan for plenty of walks while in my care. My cat, Mali, is a fully indoor cat and on Revolution Plus. As of June 2025, she is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations.

“Deborah was great about sending updates and treating our pup like family :). He had such a great time. Will definitely be checking with her first when we need boarding again!”


“Jenny and Freddie took care of our dog George while we were away for a week. When we came to pick him up, George didn't want to leave! They have a huge fenced yard, asked for instructions when we came over, and sent pictures every day. I hope they had a good experience with us because we definitely hope to use them again. George tends to be shy but he REALLY bonded with Jenny. You can tell they really care.”


“Haley did an incredible job with our puggle Winston. She wore him out walking him, and that elevated his spirits like no other! She also provided plenty of updates on his well-being, and I would go to Haley again for Winston. 5 gold stars and an A+ grade.”


About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animal companions for 20 years! I worked on a Farmed Animal sanctuary and took care of chickens, goats, turkeys, cows, and pigs. I have had cats and dogs my whole life and specialize in both senior care and puppies. I’m great at training pups and love to be active. If your dog needs a good hike, I’m your guy! I’m currently working the early morning shift and have plenty of time after work to care for your babies. I also have weekends off so go on that day trip you always wanted to and leave it to me. My dogs are my children. I take them hiking, swimming, walking, and/or to the dog park at least once a day. I’m just starting out as a personal trainer so if your dog needs a jog around the block I can do that.

“Gage was an incredible dog sitter! He was proactive, making sure our dog had everything she needed and stayed happy and comfortable. I really appreciated the regular updates with pictures and videos—it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I couldn’t recommend him more!”

About: I have taken care of my own pets since I was young including dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, and hamsters. I understand how important your furry friends are to you and I want to make sure I can be the best substitute for them. As I am a student-athlete and work part time, pet care is something I like to work into my spare time. Taking care of animals is a passion of mine so I like to try and make time for it each week. I care for pets just as I would want mine to be cared for, making sure I can be the best substitute for you. I am great at communicating how your pet is doing and can be a safe environment to build your pets trust.

“Mary was great. She was so great with my girl, sent me tons of pictures, was so flexible when I accidentally scheduled the wrong date, and genuinely made me feel comfortable leaving her for the first time while I was gone. My girl loved the yard, and I know she had a great time. Will definitely recommend to anyone who needs someone to watch their babies :)”

Katherine F.
“Katie is truly amazing with animals! She’s incredibly loving and gentle with our 14-month-old kitty cat, Mali — always cuddling with her, playing, and making sure she feels safe and adored. Katie has two dogs back home, Gracie and Luna, who absolutely adore her, and she treats them like her babies. She’s constantly feeding and petting the neighborhood cats, and she lights up every time she sees an animal. Her phone is filled with thousands of photos of her furry friends — each one loved like family. Katie is kind, reliable, and has a natural, heartfelt connection with animals. You can trust her completely to care for your pets as if they were her own.”
