“Jodie is absolutely amazing! Booked her last minute for two days of daycare for my puppy and she excepted right away. Her updates and communication throughout the day is absolutely awesome. I could not recommend a better person to watch your pet. I will be continuing to use her for all my daycare and boarding needs! If I could give her 10 stars I would!!”

About: Hello, thanks for considering me to help care for your family! A little about me- I’ve had dogs my whole life. A lovable quirky Golden and quite a few Akitas. I’ve found every dog has unique needs and especially adoptees and rescues, need extra patience and understanding to gain your trust. I like to be mindful and cater to each dog’s individual needs on a case by case basis so they get the best possible care, which they deserve. I am reliable, dependable, and trustworthy. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own, with care and love. I have experience with both puppies and aging dogs. At any stage in their life I’m happy to do what I can to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I have cared for cats and dogs with daily check ins and in-house care. I feel strongly that both parties be comfortable with the pet care. You, the owners, should feel comfortable with me watching your pet(s) just as I should feel confident watching them. This is not just a way to earn some extra income (while that is important) your pet(s) deserve the best and if we are not a good match both parties are welcome to decline the care if we feel that’s best so your loved one(s), you, and I all feel good about the situation. Communication is key and as I mentioned if either of us feel unsure or unsafe it’s not worth the compensation. I hope this little blurb is not a deterrent but rather an extra layer of assurance why I am a good candidate for your dog(s) by being honest, fair to all parties, and prioritizing everyone’s safety. That being said I’d love to meet you and your four-legged family members! I have experience with a variety of cats, Golden Retrievers, Akitas (up to 130 lbs), German Shepards, Terriers, Boxer-Pit mixes, Labrador’s, and quite a few other mutts. I like dogs, big or small! If there are any specific instructions, medications, specific training commands, check-in requests, or any other requests please let me know! I’m more than happy to work with you to confirm details and instructions and make sure you’re comfortable leaving your little family members, while making the process easy and stress free. Thanks for reading my profile and considering me to help watch over your creatures! I truly love animals and look forward to taking great care of yours. FLEXIBLE! My schedule is a little different every week and can be flexible as needed (especially if planned ahead of time). I’m happy to discuss scheduling options with you to cater to the timeframe(s) your pet(s) need care. Let’s chat! I take extra care when in anyone else’s space, whether that’s your apartment, house, condo, whatever your home looks like, it warrants respect, privacy, and care. I have experience with dogs being put in their cages when left alone, for dinner, or overnight. I also have experience with dogs sleeping in the same square foot I do! (And by that I mean I am their human-sized pillow so they can sleep comfortably haha). All depends on what you prefer, happy to chat about your preferences. This is your pet, your choice. I will respect your requests, just communicate what you expect for your dog/cat/creature and we’ll make sure we’re on the same page so you and your pet are comfortable. Just let me know and I’ll make it happen!

“Pippin thoroughly enjoyed his day with Michael. Michael sent me regular photos and videos of our dog having a whale of a time. We have already made this a regular weekly visit so Pippin has his fun day!”

“Colleen was so welcoming and has a wonderful setup for dogs, with a spacious enclosed yard for them to run and play, as well as plenty of room inside. She’s great at communicating and sent videos and photos throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind. Mr. Smithers had the best time—he came home happy, completely tuckered out, and was still recovering from all the fun the next morning! It’s clear he loved making new friends. I highly recommend Colleen and will definitely book with her again!”

About: For over three years, my husband and I have been a tag-team when it comes to caring for our dog. We’re well-versed in the 'dog life'—feeding, walking, and grooming are just part of our daily rhythm. We’re happy to handle dogs of any age or personality, and we always prioritize being patient and consistent to keep them feeling safe and happy. Between the two of us, someone is almost always home! I’m fully available on Wednesdays and weekends, and during the rest of the work week, my husband works from home and can easily look after our guest pups. It’s a true team effort to make sure no dog is ever left hanging. We live in a clean, safe, and pet-friendly home. Our environment is calm and family-oriented, and we ensure dogs are supervised and comfortable at all times. We prioritize safety and maintain a structured, welcoming space for pets. We also have a fenced backyard for the pets to run around freely.

“I needed care for my fur baby last minute. Symantha’s experience and background and love of animals is what drew me in. She was quick to respond, so very friendly and offered to let us meet her prior to my baby’s visit. She sent pictures and updated and put my mind at ease. My Kami has separation anxiety , but seemed to have enjoyed her stay very much! I will definitely be using Symantha again and highly recommend her!”

“Our collie, Logan, and ourselves, too loved Kathryn and her big back yard. Her 2 dogs, Arlo and Smoky, were great hosts. Logan had a fun time and came home happy and content. We are looking forward to many more daycares and boarding soon.”

About: I am an animal and nature lover who loves being outdoors and taking care of animals. I will take care of your dog as if it was my own. We love going on walks and playing inside. I have 4 kids that are full of energy and love playing with animals as much as I do! I work from home so I am always around and love talking daily walks early in the morning, at lunch and at dinner time. My golden doodle is always looking for new friends too! I have plenty of indoor space for play and a built in playful friend in my golden doodle so your dog will never be bored but can also have separate time for relaxation as needed

“Ralph is amazing with dogs. He took care of my dog in a pinch and very last minute and he not only was flexible but also very kind and loving to my dog. My dog took to him right away, dogs know dog lovers! His updates and pictures he shared of my dog throughout the day showed a happy puppy! My dog came home and just slept, he exercised so much with Ralph. I will definitely hire him again for doggy day care and boarding.”

Eileen V.

“Ashley is pleasant and knows what she is doing with these dogs! She has an ideal yard and home and was willing to show me the environment. She sent me pictures throughout the day and made me feel very comfortable. We can’t wait to work with Ashley again!”

About: I've been a lifelong dog lover (with the occasional cat in the mix) and actively foster for a rescue. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Veterinary Science so your pets will be more than well taken care of. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddle breaks, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet their needs and keep them happy! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love company!

About: I have a lifelong love for animals and experience caring for my own dog, Milano, as well as family pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, playtime, basic training, and providing a safe, attentive, and nurturing environment for both dogs and cats! Hi! My name is Lindsey, and I’m a stay-at-home mom who provides loving, reliable pet care right from my home. I spend my days home with my two children, which means your pet will receive constant attention, supervision, and affection. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly treat every pet like family. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, playtime, or sticking to their normal routine, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I also have a small, friendly Chihuahua named Milano who is almost 1 year old. He is very playful, gentle, and loves meeting new friends. Because I’m home full-time, your pet will never be left alone for long periods, and I can provide a calm, attentive environment. I always recommend meet-and-greets when possible before booking, so your pet can meet my children and Milano and you can see my home. This helps ensure everyone is comfortable and it’s the best fit for your pet’s stay. 🏡 My Home & Environment • Safe, clean, and pet-friendly home • Calm family environment with lots of supervision • My children are gentle, respectful, and love animals • Pets are never left unattended • Plenty of playtime, attention, and care throughout the day I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. I also provide frequent updates and photos, so you can feel comfortable, reassured, and connected while your pet is in my care. 🐾🫶🏻

About: I have 14+ years experience in the veterinary field. Learning about animal behaviors, preventative care and physical health is a passion of mine. I am a very well rounded animal enthusiast that loves to stay busy. Some of my extracurriculars include training my Australian shepherd, whether it’s dock diving, agility or overall obedience. I will hold each pet to standards that support good manners, so some training may be associated with my services. I strive to exercise your fur babies intellectually as well as physically. I am very detailed oriented, and consider myself very observant. I’m not afraid to communicate and ask questions regarding your pets’ needs. I would be caring for your pet around my typical work schedule, which is M-F ~8-6pm, but I can always drop in mid day during lunch. Communicating your expectations so I may practice proper time management is important for a successful and stress free pet sitting job. I have a very well socialized 5yo male, 50lb, Australian shepherd, Oshie and he loves to play. Additionally I can provide walks, and play sessions. Hikes are also supported.

“We have a 20 lb male Cavachon named Blazer. We were very pleased with Blazer’s stay with Robert. Robert was excellent at sending us pictures and keeping Blazer happy. Robert took Blazer for walks (even a special trip to the beach for Memorial Day) and let Blazer be comfortable on the furniture. We will book again with Robert.”
