“Mary Kay is excellent! She’s always on time (even on short notice) and my dog, Bella, really enjoys her company. You can tell Mary Kay is a true animal lover. I highly recommend her services for all :)”


“My dog, Ranger, adores Erica and gets so excited every time she arrives. She’s reliable, wonderful with animals, and an excellent communicator. Highly recommend booking with Erica! 💗”


“Ogee LOVES Naomi. She has been walking him for a couple months now and she and my Mom communicate well if their schedules need to change.”


“Kira has watched my dog, Clementine, many times, and she always does a great job! She takes good care of her and spends tons of time playing with her and tiring her out too. Clementine can be quite anxious and sometimes reactive with strangers, so I am very particular with dog sitters, but she felt so comfortable with Kira right away!”

“Rhea is such a caring, responsible person. She is great with dogs of all breeds and treats each as if they are her own- giving them plenty of exercise, socialization and love! I wouldn't hesitate to leave my dog with her while I'm away and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for a four-legged family member.”

“Jamie was exceptional! She was very prompt, informative and overall a great person. She did very well with Halo, using the same commands and letting her sniff all her normal spots on walks. Jamie was also great with Halo around other dogs and people as Halo can sometimes not mind others. Thank you again Jamie, you'll be my first call next time I need some help!”


“Sylvie is incredible with dogs and always goes above and beyond. She is extremely knowledgeable about animal behavior and is responsible and caring. Every dog in her care is loved and treated like her own.”

“Erik is a very caring and responsible pet owner who I’ve seen take so much extra care for animals. Whether it be his own pet or one of his friends or even a stranger’s, Erik takes great care to make sure the animals around him are comfortable and taken care of. I’ve seen him researching best tactics for cat caregiving many times as he thoughtfully implements good practices into his routines with his best friend and kitty Bumi. Bumi was a starving street cat when they met and Erik and him slowly courted each other until a trusting bond was made and Bumi moved in. I hear many stories about training and caring for his past animals who he holds dear to his heart.”

About: Hi there! My name is Grace. I was a dog owner for a long time, and now I'm hoping to meet some new dogs and help you out in the process. I love to jog, and would be happy to take your dog for a run. I love to play fetch or whatever your dog's favorite game is. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I'm trained as a paramedic, so I'm responsible and cool-headed during emergencies. I love all dogs, but rescues and those scrappy-looking mutts hold a special place in my heart. I have experience with larger breeds as well. There's no dog too big or small for me! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I can devote as much time to your animals as you need! I am available on short notice. I love to stay active, so I love going for walks or playing with animals. I live right across from a park with tons of space to run and play.

“To whom it may concern: I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend my friend, Dalonna Belcher, as a pet sitter. I have had the pleasure of knowing Dalonna for five years and can confidently attest to their exceptional qualities that make them an ideal candidate for this role. Dalonna has worked as a pet care associate at Halliday’s pet resort and day care for 3 months , where they have gained extensive experience in caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and other small mammals. She is a compassionate and empathetic individual who genuinely loves animals. She is highly responsible and reliable, always ensuring that pets receive the care they need. Dalonna is also highly communicative and will keep you updated on your pet's well-being. I highly recommend Dalonna for any pet sitting position, she truly has a natural talent for connecting with animals and providing exceptional care.

“I cannot recommend Carlos highly enough as a pet caregiver. He is one of the kindest individuals I know and has an incredible love for all animals. His own dog is a testament to his care—well-behaved, happy, and deeply loved. Recently, I lost one of my fur babies, and my other pup has been grieving the loss. Carlos, in his thoughtful and compassionate way, brought his dog over for a playdate to cheer up my pup. It made a world of difference. His genuine care, reliability, and understanding of animals make him an outstanding choice for any pet caregiving needs.”

“Kandis helped me put when I was in a huge bind. I had a 2 week vacation planned for Dubai and no sitter for my 2 tea cup yorkies. She came over for visits before the trip to get to know my dogs n learn their habits. She even sent me daily pics and videos of the activities they did. Everyday before leaving the dogs she made sure they had everything they needed and sent me and daily update via text. I was allowed to enjoy my trip without worrying about my babies and that meant the world to me! They lobe kandis and I will be using her again very soon for all my doggo needs! Thanks again Kandis”

I've had many years caring for animals as I took an interest with all kinds at a very early age. I would love to show my compassion giving the opportunity to. All services are on a 24 hour time frame the clock starts the time you drop them off until the time you pick them up. Example if you are dropping off at 8a.m the pick up time is From 8a.m-8a.m the very next morning if at any point you need a late pick up the fee will be an additional boarding fee price. How much will be determined on how long over the initial time they would need to stay I’m very reasonable and understanding.

About: Hello! I’m Maranda and I love animals, like most people. I am open to all animals! Any pet in my home will be treated as my own, following guidelines set by you of course. I have most of my experience fromworking in Dog Day Care centers, as well as ten years on and off overnight dog and cat sitting for friends and family, so I am well versed in dog behaviors and body language. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby or babies! My three year old and I are always home except for quick runs to breakfast or the store. I’m rarely gone from the house for more than 2 hours. I ask that drop off/pick up times be between the times of 7am- 9pm. I am also available for transportation! I have dog seatbelt leashes as well and I can pick up starting at 9am and will end at 9pm, outside of emergencies. Thank you for understanding ☺️ A somewhat fenced yard, a chain link fence that is weak at the poles (working on updating) but! dogs would be leashed at all times regardless. I have a large three year old who is the only child in the house that is never left unattended around animals. The comfort of the dogs are most important. If your fur baby has any resource guarding, fear aggression, or herding behavior I ask that we do a meet and greet to make sure everyone is comfortable. My house is baby proofed, although maybe in a state of organized chaos thanks to said toddler, so animals will be safe as well. I have three cats, but when dogs are in the house they hang out in my basement, as that is their home base. The pups in my care have access to the entire first floor of my house, and can come upstairs with me with supervision if I do not have any cat guests lounging upstairs (: I have two crates, one is 36 inches and the other is 42 and they are equipped with beds and an optional crate cover if that is what the pup is used to. If drop off or pick up is needed of me, I have seat belt leashes for car safety. During drop in visits, each family and pet have their own groove so please forgive me if i ask so many questions! I want to maintain familiar routines and behaviors with your fur babies so they can be as comfortable as possible. For drop in visits, please tell explain where the food is kept and where the food bowls/litter boxes are. Some dogs have triggers that put them in an arousal/overstimulated state, (Hats, hoods, boots? big jackets, certain pitches, how a stranger enters the house etc) please tell me if your dog has any of these! I have worked with many rescue/shelter dogs, I can accommodate for your babies. Please give a heads up for any exciting things your dog likes on walks! How do they walk, do they chase? Etc.
