“Katie really knows dogs! She is patient and intuitive, and I’m happy my dogs have someone who can read them well.”

“Suzy was so concerned about my safety and ability to go to a memorial for a friend. When I was late, she was immediatly understanding, in fact, supportive. It was so lucky that I got in touch with her in the first place. . She greeted us with her two dogs, who were so sweet. She made sure the dogs had a proper introduction and gave me confidence that she would be able to handle my very active Australian cattle dog. All went beautifully.”

“Denise was great and treated our dog like family! Her family was very welcoming at the meet and great and every time we dropped our dog off at her home. He always comes home happy, tired, and content. I would highly recommend Denise!”

“Jacqueline did a outstanding job taking care of Lulu. My 20 month old golden retriever is high energy and she was outside throwing freebies and balls with her a many times during the day. She sent us pictures and videos throughout the day. The whole process was very easy and she was flexible when we needed a little later with pickup. We will definitely be a repeat client. Thank you Jacqueline 😊”

About: I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m extremely attentive to routines, moods, and comfort levels, so your pet feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. Most importantly, I'm compassionate and caring. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they need throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening playtime, I’m able to adjust to each pet’s routine. In my home, pets receive a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I follow their usual routines—feeding times, bathroom breaks, and playtime—to help them feel at home. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day while making sure they have a clean space, fresh water, and lots of love.

About: I’m the person people call when their animals need real care — not just a walk around the block. I regularly foster puppies, kittens, and medical-case animals, so I’m used to everything from bottle babies to pets who need meds, deworming, wound care, and structured routines. Nothing fazes me. I work in animal care, and I’m hands-on every day with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’m big on structure, safety, and making sure your pet feels secure, not stressed. Whether your dog is a stage-five clinger, a shy baby deer, or a chaos gremlin, I’ve probably fostered one just like them. I work a flexible bartending job but with the accompaniment of my boyfriend your furry friend will get the upmost attention and care! We follow strict routine that we customize to our current client or foster. I respect and reinforce owners boundaries. My home is optimized for animal safety and with my extensive animal care knowledge I am confidently able to provide a safe and structured environment.

“Corey and Monica were very friendly and took great care of Pepper. They sent photos throughout the day which I appreciated. They were accomodating and willing to work with me with some of Peppers anxiety issues. Will definitely be bringing Pepper back for future daycare :)”

“I would leave Linda 10 stars if I could. She was very flexible with my early drop off times. Sends lots of pics of your pet while they are with her. My dog has the best day ever when she goes to Linda’s house, she comes home and puts herself straight to bed after a day at Linda’s daycare!! ❤️”

About: My name is Allie and I have been sitting for dogs for years. I have 3 labs of my own and have had many before. Dogs are my favorite! I am currently in school from 8-11:20 daily but am flexible any time after that from Monday through Friday. Weekends can be discussed but overall flexible! Due to my dogs at home I would not be sitting any dogs at my home but I am willing to travel distance. I am very good with all animals and love taking them on walks.

About: I’m recently retired and home much of the time. I live in the Golden Beach community. I have three dogs of my own ranging an age from one to almost 17. I’ve cared for my family‘s pets and have completed a basic veterinary assistant class recently. I’m currently kicking off a consultant business that will be done mostly from home, making my own hours, leaving time to care for your pets and get me away from a desk. In addition to my pets, I am a grandmother of six and love, taking care of pets and babies. I am also trained in mental health first aid and in crisis peer support so I take safety very seriously.

About: Hi! I am Sarah. I am a mom, business owner, and dog lover living in 7 acres in La Plata. I offer in home boarding and care in a peaceful, low stress environment where your animals can relax, explore, and feel at home. I am currently working on installing a fence, so for now I can do leash walks to keep everyone safe, or supervised play for small puppies since we are acres from the road. If you’re looking for personalized care, space, and a more relaxed environment, I’d love to care for your dog. Dogs are never left unattended for long periods, and I prioritize safety at all times. Dogs get plenty of supervised outdoor time and a comfortable, clean space inside to decompress. I care for pets in home as if they’re part of the family. I can follow each dogs routines, which includes feeding schedule, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions that you provide.

About: I have been a dog owner and lover for over 25 years. Your fur babies will definitely be treated like a member of our family while here. I work from home so there will be very little time, if any, that your pup would be without company. I have watched dogs/puppies of friends and families for years. Also would love the added benefit of giving my two pups some company now and then. My husband would also be here on evenings and weekends to help with any four-legged guests. We love dogs and would love to welcome yours while you are away! Pet care is top priority and we will take the best care possible of your fur babies. There will be lots of love, snuggles and exercise, and we will stick to your feeding and walking schedules to keep their routine consistent. We give lots of attention and love to doggy visitors. We have trails in our neighborhood as well as a nice sized yard where we can take walks. Your pup will definitely be treated as part of our family.

About: I have had pets in the household my whole life. I operated a pet care business out of my home for almost three years using apps such aa Rover.com. I’ve returned to continue offering top quality care and to spend as much time as I can with your furry beloved family members. Please ask for references and I will offer them to you. I have not yet been on the site long enough to have acquired them on the app. I am available full-time to care and sit. My whole focus is on pet care at this time. Creating a safe and fun environment for your fur baby. When your pets are with me and staying in my home they are like my own and will be treated as such. When I am within your home, I will do my best to provide the best care and to offer special services based on your needs.

“Alexis watched my senior girl again and she was so sweet and has great communication. My doggy loves spending time with Alexis and her son. Thanks again!”

About: I have given birth to my baby, so I won't be able to accept offers from you for a few months. Thank you for your understanding. The other day, I took care of my friend's pets (2 medium-sized dogs) for a week! I'll take care of your fur baby too. I have a young Shiba Inu (male) and I usually take care of him. Also, about me, I'm Japanese and I still can't speak English very well. Text communication is the smoothest way to communicate. (I often rely on my husband for phone conversations.) I would appreciate your understanding. I am a housewife and basically have time. Especially from Friday to Monday I have time. My husband doesn't work from Tuesday to Thursday, so it's family time. If you want to request me on that days, please contact me. Also, about me, I'm Japanese and I still can't speak English very well. Text communication is the smoothest way to communicate. (I often rely on my husband for phone conversations.) I would appreciate your understanding. My house has a fenced backyard. And I have a playful young Shiba Inu boy. Neutered. There is also a dog park near my house so I can let your fur baby play there. I live on base, so I will need to meet you in the parking lot in front of the base and accept your buddy.
