About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets, from playful puppies and curious kittens to sweet senior companions. Whether it’s keeping up with puppy training or giving an older pet the extra TLC they need, I’m here to help and make sure they’re happy and comfortable! I work from home, so my schedule is super flexible! I’m available any day for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding. Plus, I’m open for boarding on weekends too! I have a fenced-in backyard with a screened-in porch, plus security cameras around the perimeter for added safety. For daycare, boarding, and drop-ins, I do have a 9-month-old Lab mix who’s very gentle with small dogs and loves following big dogs around. He’s on a strict schedule, fully vaccinated, and both potty and leash trained. If your dog isn’t comfortable around other dogs, we might not be the best fit. But if they can tolerate canine friends, we’re happy to host monitored playtime—with plenty of breaks because we know how exhausting a puppy can be! For older or less active dogs, I can separate outside time, but I can’t guarantee full separation inside the house for extended periods. That said, my pup takes two naps a day, and they’ll always be supervised when together. I also have a cat, but don’t worry—he’s used to having dogs around, and chances are he’ll likely spend the day napping and might not even notice your pup’s visit :).

About: Boarding: Dogs must be crate trained and vaccinations up to date. Must be kid friendly and do well with large dogs. I have a large, shaded back yard where we can play with toys or fetch. Walk around the quiet neighborhood or take a nap and cuddle. I have an active golden doodle who can’t wait to have a play buddy. I will happily take your dog on walks, play their favorite game and keep a structured routine if needed. Administer topical, injection or oral meds. Meet and greets preferred prior to care. I am currently working from home and have a large shaded yard. Which means potty breaks and outside play and relax time are always available. I will make sure your pets schedule is followed so you can be sure your pet will have fun and be cared for while you are away. My home is doggie safe. Minimalistic feel with little to no clutter. Space for your dog to stretch out and relax. Separate room with crate for sleep and/or alone time if needed. If I leave the house crate trained dogs can safely stay in crate with water and food. Feedings can be done separate if needed. Please bring leash, water and food bowl, and favorite treats. Do not bring toys because they will be enjoyed and destroyed by my dog.

“Amazing would be an understatement. Maria’s love for dogs shined through from day one. My pet adored her, probably a little too much! Maria went above and beyond to help sit/walk my dog. She followed my instructions to the tee and helped bring packages in while I was away which was an added bonus to her awesomeness. Will definitely book with her in the future and encourage others to as well.”


About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. With over 13 years of hands-on experience working in veterinary hospitals and an Associate’s degree in Veterinary Technology, I provide daily care that’s both skilled and compassionate. Caring for pets isn’t just a job—it’s something that truly brings me joy and motivates me to give your furry family members the very best. I work full-time at an animal hospital, so caring for pets is a natural part of my routine. I’m available for boarding Friday nights, all day Saturday and Sunday, and during the day on Monday (no overnights on Monday since I work early Tuesday). I also have puppy cameras set up, so even if I need to step away for a bit, I can always keep an eye on your pet to make sure they’re safe and comfortable. Pets in my care are treated like family. In my home, I keep a clean, pet-safe environment and always supervise interactions. I use puppy cameras for added peace of mind and to monitor pets if I need to step away briefly. Working at an animal hospital has taught me the importance of routine, safety, and reading animal body language—whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting theirs, I always prioritize their comfort, well-being, and trust.

Emma C.Star Sitter
“I can't thank Emma enough for the exceptional care they provided for my dog, Beans. He's an older dog, who takes medicine for high blood pressure and needs specific meals and meals times. Emma's availability made this process so much easier and I didn't have to worry about if the sitter was going to be able to be home in time. Her patience, kindness, and genuine affection made all the difference in Bean's stay. I could tell he was comfortable and well cared for. When I came to pick him up he greeted me excitedly but then when back to sleeping on the dog bed lol!”


Kimberly M.
“My experience with Kimberly was amazing! She stopped by regularly to feed my dog and let him out while we were away, and even sent me adorable photo updates that gave me so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond, and I could tell my pup was in great hands. Highly recommend her—she did an exceptional job!”

Daisy L.Star Sitter
“Daisy watches my pets, and she is by far the best pet sitter I've found. She has watched my cat, and two dogs. They absolutely adore her and anytime you say her name, they get super excited. She makes sure they are well taking care of and loves them like they are her own. One dog has severe separation anxiety, and she takes the time to cuddle with him, keeping him calm.”


Marie E.
“Marie loves animals and finds joy in helping others! Her warm and loving personality and clear communication skills make her a real joy to work with. She has a lifetime of experience with common house pets (dogs and cats) and significant experience with fish, frogs, and reptiles (there's probably more I don't know about). She's the type of person who loves when owners leave detailed instructions but will communicate when she has questions. I was particularly impressed when Marie sent me pictures and daily updates of my pets and wasn't afraid to learn how to give my cat his medications. I would trust her with any of my animals because she always goes above and beyond, and I trust her in my home, too!”
