About: Have dog sat a couple of times. I don't have a dog, but willing to have one around the house for those who need a dog sitter for a few days. My wife and I have opposite work schedule, so someone is home about 85 % of the time. Would be able to have someone take dogs for walks throughout the day, or watch them in the back yard Pets will be indoor. Have a fenced back yard when needed to go outside for bathroom needs. We don't have other pets , so your pet would not take away attention from your pet

About: Growing up my family has always had pets, usually a mixture of dogs and cats (with the occasional hamster or lizard!). My passion for animals grows more and more every day. As an adult, my husband and I have 4 dogs ranging from tiny to large who get along great with all other animals. We also have 3 cats who are very unbothered by dogs. I try to volunteer at the local shelter twice a week but we have a beautiful baby boy so I haven’t been in a little while. Taking care of pets is truly second nature to me, I haven’t ever lived without pets and have always had a passion for them. Even as a little girl I always wanted to be involved in our pet’s care tasks. I know how stressful it can be trying to find a good place for your beloved pet to stay while you’re away, or to find help during the day while you’re at work. I hope that I can be one to relieve some of that stress and worry. Our pets are the most precious members of our family. I know that each individual dog/cat has their own needs and that different things work for different pets. I am very flexible and will always prioritize taking care of your pet the way that you do. Pet care is always part of my daily routine, I’m a stay at home mom to my beautiful baby boy, as well as to my 4 pups and 3 kitties. It is so intertwined with my life that I would make your fur baby feel right at home. I am home 24/7 so no need to worry about your pup or kitty being home alone in a strange place. I have a fully fenced yard and 4 other dogs. One of our dogs is a tiny senior (16 years old!), and the 3 other are middle aged, they love to play but aren’t too high energy if your pup doesn’t feel like playing. During feeding times I make sure that no one feels they have to compete by feeding everyone at once and facing them away from each other. I provide lots of toys and treats (with owners permission of course!) and cuddles (again with owners permission). I will be happy to communicate as much or as little as you need, if you want daily pictures, or even a few pictures a day, I am more than happy to do so! For pups that I’m just checking on, walking, or letting out to potty, all of the same things apply :)

“Haley and David took great care of my 2 dogs. In the pictures that were sent, I could tell they were having fun. Haley was great about keeping in touch and responded quickly to texts.”

“Darby and her family have been the perfect sitters for my Billie. They care for her, keep her safe and I can fully enjoy myself when on vacation knowing she is in good hands. Great communication and daily photos.”

Lisa D.

“Jessica was so good with our dogs. Her kids were very sweet and loved to play with them. She has a big yard for the dogs to run around and lots of places for them to hang out or get cuddles. Jessica was very quick to respond while we were away, and we felt very comfortable leaving them with her family. She was very understanding and was a lifesaver when we had a last minute change of holiday plans.”

Amy J.

“Had to book last minute, Stephanie and Jennifer were very quick to respond and always very accommodating for our boys. Will definitely be booking again in the future!”

Miles M.

“Annie's entire family was FANTASTIC with my senior dog and exuberant younger dog! Annie’s girls were highly involved and helpful with caring for my dogs. Annie’s communication was amazing! She kept my dogs on their usual schedules of walks and meals. I cannot say enough good things about Annie and her family! Their house is very clean and organized with a perfect fenced yard. My dogs will be coming back to their home during our future trips.”

Jennifer O.

“Ciara is amazing! Bauer had a great stay and enjoyed all this playtime with Ciara's fur babies, as well as the dog park right next to her house. She was easy to communicate with and sent us updates along the way. We will definitely be staying with Ciara again.”

Casey C.

“Joe was great! He was very communicative and flexible. Our anxious dog came back home happy and healthy. We will definitely book with Joe again.”

About: Growing up, I was always interested in learning about different dog breeds and had aspirations of becoming a veterinarian. Though I did not become a veterinarian, I do have a solid background and understanding of animal healthcare and wellbeing thanks to my undergraduate studies (B.S. Zoology, some Animal Science) and ongoing interest in pet health and dog training. While still in high school, I worked briefly in a pet boarding facility where I prepared morning and evening meals, administered medications, and supervised outdoor play for large groups of dogs. From this experience supervising large groups of dogs, I became more familiar with canine body language and behavioral cues. My sheepadoodle, Ivy, came home to me at about 10 weeks old; so I did potty train and leash train her with positive reinforcement using her favorite treats. I also had the opportunity to foster a litter of 5 puppies in college and potty trained them as well. In addition to my experience with puppies, I have cared for a few senior pups including my brother’s aging border collie and pitbull mix and my late Great Boxer (Great Dane/boxer), Grover. In my experience caring for senior pups, I became familiar with the medical issues that come along with increasing age such as arthritis, incontinence, deafness/blindness, and even cancer to name a few. My own pups have also had sensitive skin, digestive issues, and recurrent ear infections. Managing these health issues at times required daily cleanings, ointment applications, and attention to ensure that wounds or infections healed without interference. I work part-time in a hospital lab, with a fixed schedule. I work 4 days in a row, then I am off for 10 days. When I am not working in the lab, I am at home caring for my two young children (ages 3 and almost 2) and 5 year-old sheepadoodle. We enjoy spending time outside in the backyard or going for walks around the neighborhood. Any dog that steps paw inside my home is treated like family. If your precious pup requires *special* treatment, I try my best to adhere to any instructions provided. I have a large crate, along with dog blankets, if your pup is into that sort of thing. It is spacious enough for any standard medium to large sized dog. I do have a decently sized backyard with 6 ft privacy fencing all around, and larger smooth rocks surrounding the grass. If your pup is not great with tiny humans, loud noises, or just the general chaos of a young family, please consider a sitter with a calmer environment that better meets their needs.

“Selena was fantastic! Great communication from initial contact and lots of updates and pictures while our girl stayed with her for a week. We will absolutely rebook with her for future trips!!”

About: I work at Petco as a dog bather. My family and I have always had cats and dogs in the house throughout my whole life. I work from between 8-6 5 days a week so I will have plenty of time to walk the dogs and do a pop in to make sure the pets are comfortable and safe. I also have 2 days off each week and stay at home most of the day. I do have a yard and a park nearby. I have taken care of cats who have herpes, digestion, and kidney problems. I am also a clean freak so pets don’t get into anything that they shouldn’t be. My lower cabinets are baby proof so animals cannot get into them.

“Danna and her dog Olie were the best! This was my Daisy's 1st time to spend a couple of days and over night without me. I was very worried how she would do because she has a very strong separation anxiety from me. She did great and Danna sent so many photos to ease my mind and heart ❤️. I would recommend her on a dime. I missed Daisy but not like I thought I would and it was because of the great pictures. Thank you Danna and Olie for making this an awesome transition for us.”

“Oh my gosh, what can we say. This was our first time being away from our 8mo old goldendoodle and we were trying to decide between a boarder and being at someone’s house. We met Meagan and knew it would be the right fit. She and her family took such good care of Scout. They loved her like she was their own. We got photos, updates, etc. we hit the jackpot with she and her family and am so thankful we have our go-to person to watch Scout whenever we are gone again.”

Ginny A.

“Shyla was absolutely amazing for watching our dog! She constantly gave updates with photos and videos and kept us up to date with how he was doing while we were gone. She even was so kind to watch him and take care of him after we learned he tore his ACL and had to be restricted in movement and she made sure he was taken care of! Definitely recommend her for watching and caring for your dog! ☺️”

About: I’m a very loving person and have a big heart for animals. I’ll always follow any instructions you leave to make sure your pet gets the best care possible, whether that means giving medication at a specific time, sticking to a certain walking schedule, or changing the litter box daily. Other than that, your pet can expect plenty of cuddles, on-time meals, lots of love, and most importantly, an excessive amount of pictures and updates! 🐾❤️ I’m currently spending most of my days at home, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m available to take your dogs on long walks in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. My son has basketball practice from 3:30–5:30 PM, but aside from that, I’m usually home and have plenty of time to give your pups lots of attention, exercise, and love! I am attentive and aware of my surroundings at all times. I will keep a watchful eye on your pet, and only let them off a leash when appropriate (at a dog park, etc.). You are welcome to call/face time me at any time when I am with your pet.

“Stanley and Sharon were wonderful! This was our first experience with Rover, we were a bit nervous and it couldn’t have gone any better! They were quick to reply to our request, we were able to set up a meet and greet to make sure we/they felt comfortable prior to making a decision and they made sure our pups were loved and taken care of while we were away. They sent us frequent updates and probably deserve an award for their pet photography skills! I think our pups felt like they were on their own little vacation. We definitely hope to have them take care of our pups again next time we need a sitter! ❤️”

Jessica F.

“Robert was a great doggy sitter! He got my my dogs to trust him and feel comfortable enough to get belly rubs and snuggle. First time I've seen that happen! He kept me up to date with pictures and videos and was just an all-around pleasant person. I take several trips a year and he is now my go-to doggie sitter! Thank you for treating my babies like family.”

Natasha M.

“Travis and his family took great care of our dog Roxy. She was happy and healthy when we returned and I appreciated the pics and updates while we were away. I wasn’t sure how she would do with their cat, Pickles, but it turns out they were absolute besties,”
