“Alyssa is so amazing. She listens, is attentive, knowledgeable, and has wonderful calm energy. Love that we found her and will definitely be using her services again! Thanks so much, Alyssa, for taking such good care of our pup while we were out!”

“Elizabeth is awesome! She has a great background with animals, so you feel confident that she’ll give them the love and attention they need. Newton and Tucker took to her quickly.”

“Zoe did an outstanding job caring for our puppers. She is prompt and respectful in person and was very attentive to our dogs needs. During her stay she communicated very well with pictures and updates.”

“Gabrielle was amazing! I always worry about leaving our older dog, Bogey, he has anxiety issues and needs a lot of love and care. Gabby stayed in our home while my family and I were on vacation. She did an incredible job making sure Bogey went out when needed, she cleaned up any accidents he had, and the most important thing is she stayed the night in our home, which allowed Bogey to sleep in her bed and gave him comfort all night, as if I was home. I had zero concerns or issues while gone and I hope she’ll want to come back to watch Bogey for us again. Thank you so much!”


About: Hi! I’m a dedicated dog sitter passionate about providing loving and attentive care for your furry friends. I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines, so I tailor my services to keep them happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick visit or an extended stay, I’m flexible and reliable, ensuring your pet gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and cuddles. I’d love to hear about your dog’s personality and preferences—let’s chat and make sure your pup feels right at home with me! Tuesday and Thursday afternoons are my preferred times for meet and greets, but I’m always happy to be flexible and accommodate other times when needed. I start my day early with a 5am job and work another job at 10pm, but I always make sure to set aside quality time for your pup! When dog sitting at my place or yours, I take days off from my night job so I can be there most of the time. I’ll still work my morning job, but only until 1pm, ensuring I’m available to give your dog the care and attention they deserve. I have a dog too, so to keep both pets safe, I always make sure they have a proper introduction first. I’d never leave them alone together and will keep a close eye on your pup at all times! At night, we use a downstairs area connected to my bedroom for some quiet time. Your dog will have a crate, a cozy bed, and food and water dishes available throughout the night. We also have a large fenced backyard where your pup can run and play freely, plus plenty of toys to keep them entertained!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for my who life. I have trained my dog since he was a puppy, so I have plenty of experience with dog behavior. I have worked with young dogs, old dogs, anxious dogs, and outgoing dogs. I have a lot of free time this summer that I spend at home, so taking care of pets is my main focus throughout the week. At both my home and your home, I can take your dog for walks, play fetch, and let them relax. I can bathe and brush dogs, too. I have an energetic dog who loves new friends if your dog likes companions, and I can also keep our dogs separated if need be.
“Terri was an amazing dog sitter! We were away camping with limited access to our phones, so I was super glad to have a responsible and reliable person to watch the dogs. When Terri met our dogs, it was clear she had experience with excited dog personalities. She was super respectful of our home and we came home to happy and healthy dogs. I look forward to booking her again!”

“I was very nervous leaving my daisy while we went on vacation. She gets high anxiety when we leave. Kendra sent us pictures and updates the whole time. Plus our daisy was so comfortable with her, it was so much easier to enjoy our vacation. She was awesome!!! I only want her services from now on.”

“Kara did a wonderful job watching our dog Luna in our home while we were out of town. She was very responsive, sending us daily updates and photos which we loved! And she went above and beyond to make Luna feel comfortable during some over night storms that came through. We will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”
“Linda is very responsible and kind to dogs. She tries hard to make an anxious dog comfortable and succeeded with mine. She tries to figure the pets out as to likes and quirks. I was especially thankful that Linda was home with my dog at the times he normally feels the most anxious. I highly recommend Linda.”

About: Hi there! My spouse and I are lifelong dog lovers who have been surrounded by pups since childhood. Between the two of us, we've grown up with a wide range of dog breeds, sizes, and personalities. We have five dogs of our own, and we also volunteer as fosters for a local dog rescue. We’re comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments—from playful puppies to big couch-loving seniors. Whether your dog is active and energetic or prefers a quieter routine, we’re happy to accommodate their needs with love, patience, and plenty of attention. Our home is full of dog-friendly energy, and we treat every dog like family. You can feel confident knowing your pup will be in caring and capable hands while you're away! Whether we’re caring for our own pack or welcoming a guest pup, we maintain a calm, structured environment with lots of love and consistency. Because we’re already on a dog-focused schedule, it’s easy for us to adapt to each dog’s unique needs—whether that means early morning walks, medication reminders, or just extra snuggle time. When caring for dogs in their own home, we prioritize consistency and comfort. We maintain your dog’s normal schedule—feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications—so they feel secure and stress-free while you're away. We treat your home with the utmost respect and keep you updated with regular messages, photos, and notes so you always know how your dog is doing. In our home, your dog becomes part of the family. With five of our own friendly, well-socialized dogs and plenty of experience as fosters for a local rescue, we provide a warm, dog-savvy environment where pups feel safe, stimulated, and loved. We have a secure, dog-friendly home with space to play, lounge, and rest—whether your pup prefers fetch in the yard or a cozy nap on the couch. We follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), and preferred activities. We welcome all breeds and sizes, and we’re especially experienced with multi-dog dynamics. Whether your dog is social or needs more one-on-one attention, we adjust accordingly to ensure they’re comfortable and happy.
