“Katrina was GREAT! We were a little worried because we'd not gotten a chance to meet her before we got into town and we were 8 hours away from home but as soon as we met her we knew that she'd take great care of the dogs. She has two smaller dogs of her own that she kept separate from ours while we were there, but by the time we picked Hope and Lou up a few days later everyone was hanging out together. She was quick to update when I checked in on the dogs, but really, I felt comfortable enough that I only texted twice. I would absolutely leave them with her again when I'm back in the area.”

“Jessica and Theodore took amazing care of our dogs while we were away, and our dogs had a great time! We loved getting daily picture updates of them while we were gone. They had lots outside play time. They came home brushed and tired. We will definitely reach out to them in the future for any future dog sitting needs. Thank you!”

“Anthony and Leni were great with Leni while our family went on vacation! Leni is still a pup and has a lot of energy and they were able to keep her entertained the entire week!! We highly recommend Anthony and Leslie to everyone!!!”

“Wendy was absolutely amazing! Very easy to talk to and communicate with. Her house is like a pet Playland. She sent me lots of videos and pictures to keep me updated. She played alot with them and made sure they were comfortable. You can tell that she's just a genuinely beautiful person inside and out who loves animals and knows what she's doing. I had alot of anxiety about leaving my 2 cats behind while going on a trip but she set my mind at ease completely! I knew my babies were in great hands and they honestly seemed to have a good time. She even sent them home with a little gift bag full of toys and a cute balloon! I cannot praise her enough! I recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs!”

“Lisa was so fantastic!!! She took care of our little guy like he was one of her own pets. She kept me updated with how he was doing and sent several pictures during his stay. I could not have been happier with our experience! If we ever take a trip again, I would not hesitate to book with Lisa again!!”

“Mikaela was great with Cashew and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of during our four-day trip. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding when we had some unexpected travel delays, which was so nice of her! Will absolutely book again. <3”

“Megan and family were great with Rue. They kindly opened up their home for Christmas. Rue was a good boy, loved their dog and kids but he especially loved Megan. I will definitely be reaching out to Megan next time. Thank you so much for taking care of my good boy. I appreciated the communication and pictures you shared.”

“Rachel and Mike provided an outstanding boarding experience for MY CAT, Fluffy. Awesome!!!! From the moment I left her in their care, I knew she was in the best hands. They consistently went above and beyond, making sure Fluffy received plenty of love, attention, and treats. What really set them apart was the thoughtful updates they provided—seeing pictures of Fluffy enjoying her stay brought us so much peace of mind. Rachel and Mike’s dedication to Fluffy’s comfort was truly remarkable. They even covered additional expenses to ensure she had everything she needed until we could settle up with them. 😉 Their genuine passion for pets is clear in every interaction, and it made a world of difference. If you’re searching for a reliable and caring pet boarding power couple, look no further than Rachel and Mike. They treated Fluffy like their own, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend them for anyone who wants the best for their furry family members!”

“Kaitlyn was amazing with Milo! I had a last minute change in my holiday schedule and she was able to take him. She sent lots of pictures/updates and was very patient with him as he is shy. I would 100% use her for any bookings!”

About: Hello! I’m Vee. I’ve worked with pets for most of my life and have had a deep respect for animals as far back as I could remember. I used to cry over the dead birds our barn cat would kill as a child. I have had cats, dogs, rabbits, and have even helped rehab two baby squirrels. Each animal is different and deserves the care they need to feel cherished. I’m currently in grad school for social work so want to make the most of my free time by doing what I love: working with animals. Right now my availability is pretty open and I have the flexibility to work around your schedule. :) Your furry family members will be treated with the utmost care during their stay. I want them to feel as relaxed and stress free as possible but I know some new environments can be a little scary. I always use a sound machine at night with soothing music to ease any anxiety (and usually lots of pets and treats too!). My preference is that dogs are crated at night to help ease anxiety (and to prevent any night time shenanigans) but if your dog is unfamiliar with a crate that’s no problem. I can try working with them on crate training with lots of positive reinforcement or I can set up a comfy spot for them in our guest bedroom. Please please please let me know if your pet has any issues with potty training. I will 100% adjust to their needs and take them out as often as necessary to avoid any accidents. :)

“Milissa gave our dogs a great experience and kept us in the loop with plenty of pictures during our vacation. She was very flexible on pickup/dropoff.”

“Joe took good care of our pup Poe while we were away. He and Vanessa, his boys, and his dog Pickle all gave Poe a very warm and welcoming reception! He was very attentive to all the care details I communicated, and we appreciated how he sent us lots of photos and videos during her stay. Poe was in great spirits when we picked her up, and we plan on booking with Joe again in the future!”

About: I grew up with dogs as pets in our home and I currently have a Labrador. I have over 15 years of dog care experience and would be happy to care of your fur baby and give them a wonderful staycation of their own while you are away. I would love to know about your pet’s daily routine, special needs, exercise requirements , medication and allergy information - please share as much details possible. I can attend to picky eaters - just let me know your fur baby’s likes and dislikes, how they want to be fed. I will be able to follow their daily health supplement , oral medication requirements. I love taking my dog on long walks, trails and your pup will be enjoying the same outdoor activities while staying at my place. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby ! I work remotely and taking care of your pup will fit well in my daily routine as I also have my own fur baby. My calendar is up to date . I have fully fenced in yard and your pets will be safe and well taken care of while at my place. I would love to take your pups for walks, have backyard playtime and running. As a dog mom myself , I completely understand the emotion we go through when leaving our fur babies away and knowing that , I want to assure you that your pup’s emotional and physical security will be my top priority. They will be spoiled with cuddles, hugs and indoor- outdoor relax time as per their liking. The fenced in yard is where they can run and play to their hearts content carefree and I do have lots of outdoor toys for them to enjoy.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, with the majority of my hands-on experience in the last five years. I currently care for my own dog, Layla, and have also fostered, so I’m comfortable working with different temperaments, routines, and energy levels. I’ve potty trained three dogs, including my own, a foster dog, and a puppy I raised for about six months before transitioning him to my parents. That experience gave me a strong understanding of consistency, structure, and reinforcing good habits. I’ve provided both boarding and in-home pet sitting for multiple households, including homes with multiple dogs and homes with both dogs and cats. Whether pets are staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I understand how important consistency, patience, and communication are while owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, and communicative throughout stays, and I treat every pet like my own. My dog Layla may accompany me during some house sitting stays depending on the pets and circumstances. She is friendly, social, and has done very well with other dogs during previous stays. I work full-time during weekdays, so I’m typically out of the home for about 9 hours during the day. Pets in my care should be comfortable with that schedule, and I make sure they are exercised, settled, and comfortable before I leave, with plenty of attention, walks, and interaction when I return home. On weekends, I’m much more available and hands-on, which allows for extra walks, playtime, enrichment, and cuddle time. Whether I’m boarding, doing daycare, or staying in a client’s home, I aim to maintain each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, behavior, and specific needs so I can provide consistent care and maintain the environment they’re used to. I live in an apartment with multiple grassy areas nearby for walks and bathroom breaks, along with an on-site dog park for additional exercise and enrichment. I tailor activity levels to each dog’s age, energy level, and comfort. I’m experienced with dogs of different temperaments and can reinforce routines such as feeding schedules, crate training, potty habits, and calm household behavior if needed. Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, I prioritize safety, communication, cleanliness, and creating a calm environment where pets can relax and feel at home.

“Cynthia and Chris took great care of our dogs Sam and Kiah. Very nice fenced in yard, which both dogs like and wish they had at home! The dogs are asking for another stay.”

“Esmirna took such wonderful care of our pugs! She has a very calm and soothing presence, which especially helped with our anxiety prone pug. We could tell that Esmirna genuinely enjoyed caring for them. And we could see that our boys loved staying with her via the daily updates with photos! We highly recommend Esmirna!”

About: I have volunteered at the humane society as a dog care giver/walker for 10 years so I have experience with all types of sizes and personalities I work from home and have a flexible schedule I can attend to your fur baby’s needs while you are busy working to put your mind at ease! I will treat them like my own I know how much we all care for our pets so I take this role very seriously and will attend to them as I would my own

“Maggie had a delightful time with Emily and Chase! They treated her like one of the family! She loved the shaded fenced-in yard and having two new dog friends to play with! Maggie received her medication that was needed while she was there, and Emily/Chase made sure that she got her calming chews when there were thunderstorms. We will definitely book with them again!”
