“We highly recommend, Kayla! We recently adopted our pup from a shelter and wanted to make sure he was in someone’s home while traveling to avoid any more trauma and she did a great job making sure he was comfortable. The second time we dropped him off he went right in! Our boy loved Kayla and we will definitely use her again. She is excellent with communication and you can tell she truly loves dogs. Thank you for providing a great environment for Arrow!”

About: Hi! I’m Annie. I grew up on a farm with 10 dogs and truly love caring for animals. I have experience with senior, small, and medium dogs, and I offer a large fenced backyard where your pup can play safely. If you want someone responsible, patient, and caring, I’d love to take care of your furry friend! 🐶💛 we accept meet and greet every Saturday. You are welcome with your pet. I check on the dogs all day, and I can give them medicine if needed, follow their feeding instructions, nap schedule, and playtime routine. I’ll make sure your furry friend has so much fun they’ll be happily tired by the end of the day. I can also send pictures and videos upon request. We even do bubble time and fetch time! Just send me a message — I’d love to care for your pup. 🐶💛 I have a fenced yard and one dog of almost 2 years old, your dog is free to walk around the inside house most of the day.
“Sandra was fantastic with our little girl. She always seems to be very happy on pick up. My wife and I had a hectic week that week and had to her to work at different times everyday, but Sandra never questioned drop off or pick up times. Thank you so much, we’ll definitely book again”


About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. My life has been enriched by caring for kittens, puppies, adults, and seniors. I’ve given pills and eye drops to both cats and dogs. I love playing with cats and dogs and seeing them happy! It would be an honor to care for your pet. I’m the owner/operator of a new pet transportation business and have taken care of puppies during 200+ mile trips. This includes giving them water and food, cleaning them and their crate up (if they got carsick ☹️), sitting with them on breaks while they roamed the back of my SUV, and snuggles. I am excited to take care of fur babies at your home or mine! I have two cats of my own, a calico (7 yrs old) and a Siamese mix (6 yrs old), and they are amazing! 😻 I have a fenced in backyard and swimming pool (which can also be fenced off if desired by pet parent). I can feed, water, do short walks, and give medicine or eye drops (to compliant pets). I have 2 cats and am happy to provide care to cat friendly dogs at my home or I can come to yours. I’m available M-F 8-4 and for overnight stays.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Tom and Tolley (and their sweet and kind children) provided for Rudy! From the start, communication was excellent—they kept me updated and made me feel totally at ease. They have a great backyard that gave Rudy plenty of room to play and burn off energy. It’s such a relief to know Rudy was in such good hands. Highly recommend Tom and Tolley!”

“This was Luna’s first time with Megan, and I couldn’t be happier with how it went. She was welcomed with warmth and treated like family in a cozy home setting. The photo update was very reassuring, and she came home tired and happy. So grateful to have found such a loving place for her!”

About: I cared for a wonderful Pomeranian for 17 years, giving me extensive experience with small breeds and senior dogs. For the past two years, I’ve also been dog sitting a friend’s Maltipoo, who stays with me for extended periods. These experiences have strengthened my ability to provide patient, attentive, and reliable care for dogs of all ages and personalities. When caring for any pet, their needs are always my top priority. I’m home often, which means every pet in my care receives plenty of loving attention, along with frequent bathroom breaks and walks throughout the day. Your pet will always feel cared for, comfortable, and never overlooked. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can relax, play, and feel comfortable. Every pet receives individual attention, plenty of affection, and care tailored to their needs so they feel happy and secure while in my care.
“Abby is the best! Mickey loved his stay and feels right at home. Abby is warm and caring and treats Mickey like he is her own. She sent pictures and provided updates. Mickey especially likes playtime in the yard. Abby is fantastic and we will definitely use her again.”
“Charlie had a great time with Patricia. And he loved spending time with her doggie as well. We are so happy we found someone who could watch Charile while we went to dinner.”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for years, including overnight stays and quick drop-ins for potty breaks. I have experience with different routines and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m also a pet owner myself—I have three cats and a mini goldendoodle who loves to play! I got into dog sitting because we had taken our dog to be boarded before and were very unhappy with the lack of care and love she received when she was boarded. I wanted to make sure other families didn’t have that experience as well. We have a fully fenced-in backyard, so there’s plenty of safe space for dogs to run, play, and get their energy out. My daily routine is already built around structure, consistency, and caregiving, so pet care fits in seamlessly. I’m used to following schedules, whether that’s for feeding times, potty breaks, walks, or playtime. I make time for walks, outdoor play in my fenced-in yard, and plenty of attention and care. Throughout the day, I’m organized and responsive, making it easy to prioritize pets’ needs and stick to their normal routines. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and it naturally fits into my day just like caring for my own pets. I care for pets in my home by creating a safe, comfortable, and structured environment where they can feel at ease. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions. Pets have access to my fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play and exercise, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day. I also keep a clean and pet-friendly space, ensuring water is always fresh and that pets are monitored closely during interactions. With my experience caring for animals and my own pets at home, I understand how important it is for them to feel secure, loved, and part of the family while you’re away.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently have two dogs and two cats of my own, so caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur babies because I would only want the absolute best care for mine. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, walks, crate routines, playtime, and of course plenty of cuddles. Living with both dogs and cats has also helped me become very attentive to animal behavior and body language, which allows me to keep pets safe, calm, and happy in my care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel comfortable with regular updates and photos. My goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life since I have two dogs and two cats of my own. My day naturally revolves around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure my pets are happy and comfortable. I do work full time, but my job is very flexible. When I’m booked for pet sitting, I’m able to adjust my schedule or take time off to make sure I can fully focus on the pets in my care. I prioritize reliability and planning so every pet gets the attention and consistency they deserve. My home is clean, pet-safe, and thoughtfully set up to create a calm environment. I remove any hazards, keep floors clear, secure doors and gates, and ensure all pets are supervised at all times. I follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, and playtime — so they feel right at home. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your furry family members. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and communicative. I provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves active play, cozy naps, or extra cuddles, I tailor my care to their personality and needs. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and your pet a safe, loving home away from home.
“Hong did a fabulous job taking care of Rover. He seemed like he did not want to leave her house when I picked him up. She took a ton of pictures so that I was able to see how much fun he was having during his stay. I will definitely be letting Rover stay with Hong again soon.”

“we were so glad to be able to leave our dogs with lindsey and highly recommend! her and her son were so friendly and i felt great trusting them with our dogs. clear communication, and incredibly smooth pickup, she packed everything we brought and had the dogs leashed and ready!! treated our dog's needs as no big deal, and just seemed very competent/ capable/ trustworthy-- i felt confident she read/ listened to all our info and that she would be able to meet their needs and make good decisions if something unexpected arose. dogs seemed happy and calm (and maybe a little reluctant to leave) when we picked them up. thanks for making a stressful day easier for us and our pets!!”
“Erin and her family were absolutely incredible! We had a very last-minute, late-night request, and Erin was so flexible, responsive, and accommodating to get care coordinated. This was our first time ever leaving our puppy, and she immediately gave us peace of mind with updates, sweet pictures, and amazing communication throughout the day. It was clear our puppy was loved and cared for like family. We are beyond grateful for her kindness, reliability, and exceptional care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable, we highly recommend Erin and her family!”


About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for children and managing a busy household, which has given me strong skills in supervision, structure, and maintaining a calm, safe environment skills that translate directly to dog care. I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and behaviors, including high-energy dogs and those who need extra patience or consistency. In my home, dogs are never left unsupervised for long periods. I follow feeding schedules closely, maintain consistent routines, and pay close attention to behavior and body language to keep everyone safe and comfortable. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel secure, especially in a new environment, and I work to make the transition as smooth as possible. I have experience handling multiple responsibilities at once, which means your dog will be cared for in a structured, attentive environment not a chaotic or unpredictable one. Safety, supervision, and communication with owners are always my top priorities. I maintain a structured daily routine, so dogs in my care get consistent supervision, feeding times, potty breaks, and play. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm, with flexibility for drop-off and pick-up times. Dogs are rarely left alone for long periods, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and calm downtime throughout the day. My home is set up to be safe, structured, and comfortable for dogs of different temperaments. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time and two friendly dogs who are used to being around others. I closely supervise all interactions and can separate or crate dogs when needed to ensure everyone stays safe. I follow each dog’s routine carefully and pay attention to behavior and body language to prevent issues before they start. Owners can expect regular updates and a calm, well managed environment.
