Karlee was great with Douglas! She was willing to take him for the day with just hours notice! Karlee sent pictures throughout the day to let me know how Douglas was doing. I would definitely recommend her and use her services again in the future.

Christina took good care of my dogs! I was a little nervous about leaving them, but we met the week before to see her and the yard, so when it was time to leave them there, they went with Christina easily. She walked them and sent me pictures during the day :)

Kristi is probably the BEST dog sitter we have ever had. She is genuine and from the first time I met her I knew she had a love for dogs. She plays games with our guy, they go outside and play, they go on walks, he plays with another dog that she does doggie daycare for. He is always tired when he comes home. Kristie will also send you photos and updates during your animals stay. I would highly recommend her.

About: I absolutely love dogs and treat every pet like family. I’ve been around dogs my entire life — growing up with them and always having them as part of my family. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and attention. I have personally raised two puppies (including one currently) and helped care for several others, so I understand the consistency, training, and care young dogs need. I also had my own dog live to 15 years old, which gave me experience caring for a dog through every stage of life, including senior care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or just companionship, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and consistent care. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which allows me to provide care throughout the day and stop by in the morning, during lunch, and at night as needed. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, I am available for morning and evening visits/check-ins. When I’m in town on weekends, my schedule is very flexible, so I’m often available for additional visits, walks, or extended care. Because of my schedule, I’m able to provide reliable care, maintain routines, and make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and of course lots of affection and playtime. I understand that every dog has different needs and personalities, so I adjust my care based on their energy level, age, and routine. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable providing patient and attentive care for all stages of life. In a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow any instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, walks, and any special care requests. I also like to provide updates and photos so owners can feel comfortable knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Hi! I’m Kelsey, a stay-at-home mom to two wonderful boys who love helping give dogs plenty of attention and affection. What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience and approach to individualized care. I’ve spent several years working as an assistant manager at a large dog daycare and boarding facility, caring for dogs of all breeds, energy levels, and personalities. That experience taught me that every dog is unique some thrive in social, busy environments, while others do best in a calmer, quieter setting. I intentionally keep a small number of dogs in my care at one time so I can provide individualized attention and maintain a calm, comfortable environment. This also allows me to carefully match compatible dogs for safe, positive socialization and play. For dogs who enjoy the company of others, they’ll have opportunities to interact and make new friends. If your dog prefers their own space, needs a slower introduction, or does best with limited interaction, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. My goal is to create an experience that best suits each dog's unique personality and needs. In our home, your pet will be treated like family. I’m home throughout the day, so they’ll receive plenty of attention, supervision, and affection whether that’s playtime in the yard, a relaxing nap, or lots of cuddles 💕 We have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor fun, and I also have a gentle, well-socialized German Shepherd who loves other dogs. If your dog prefers space or a slower introduction, I can easily accommodate that to make sure they feel comfortable and secure.

About: No matter the breed or age of the dogs I have cared for, one thing remains the same - the love and affection they always share. I have over 25 years of experience caring for families' dogs and sometimes cats. I work remotely full-time from my home and am also able to work full-time from your home with Wifi. I am available to care for your pup(s) any day of the week. I have a large yard and will personally walk your dog in the yard as often as needed with a leash. I am available to take your dog for longer walks at least twice a day. I have a large indoor crate and dog beds if needed.

About: I have grown up with pets all my life, and even went to Vet Tech school for 1 year. I had a diabetic cat so I am familiar with giving medicine and injections. I work full time from home during the day. I take breaks every hour or so. We are typically home in the evening and weekends to love and play with your animals as well as our own. I have a fenced in back yard and a playful dog to keep your fur baby company while you are away. My dog no longer needs to be kenneled when I am away or at night. I can accommodate whatever you are most comfortable with.

About: Dogs are lovable and a helping career is fulfilling. By helping humans with their canines I get the best of both worlds! Dogs have always been apart of my life, and recently we had our own 13yo mutt who came as a puppy, had a long full life, and passed away in my husband’s arms. Before that we had another mutt that lived to be 16yo, but she was a pound puppy we got at about 2yo. Also, our dog-niece lived with us for January 2024 while her parents vacationed. I love to love-on peoples’ dogs. Let's chat soon. I’ll be at your home when you need me to care for your feline furbaby. Most cats in my care have been drop-ins, including feeding, watering, and cat box cleaning. Cats with dog siblings have been an occasional treat to care for, as well. Just show me the ropes and I will do my best to copy what you do for your cat(s). Teach me your ways, Sensei!

About: I am a dedicated and caring pet sitter who truly loves animals. I always make sure pets have plenty of fresh water and get the exercise they need to stay happy and healthy, while paying close attention to their individual routines and needs. I am currently in school to become a veterinary technician and have hands-on experience working in the veterinary field, which allows me to provide knowledgeable and attentive care. Their dog would fit well into my daily routine. Since I work part time, I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to provide consistent care, including regular walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day. I make it a priority to plan my day around the dog’s needs to ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. In addition, I have fostered many animals, giving me experience with pets of different personalities and medical needs, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.

Kate did an outstanding job with Checkers today. She took him on a walk, enjoying the beautiful day. I got several pictures of him with other dog friends and pictures with a five-year-old and also with an adult male. He came home tired but satisfied. That means he had a good day.
