About: I've been a dog mom to an amazing English Bulldog for 8 years now, and recently added a 3yr old cockapoo to our family! Prior to adding Theodore (english bulldog), we moved a lot and I would dog sit for neighbors and friends to fill up the puppy love cup! I'm comfortable with all sizes of dogs, and I'm comfortable giving medications. I work from home so I have plenty of time during the day to give your animal some love and plenty of potty breaks and play time. I have a fenced in large backyard, so lots of room to run and play! I also have multiple kids to play with your pup!
“Ashlyn did a great job with our 8 week old puppy. We scheduled one hour visits so he was not alone all day. There were no potty accidents in the house which is better than we do normally!! We will be booking with her again!”
“Amanda has been watching my pup for months and my pup absolutely loves her! Amanda is very flexible with my schedule and responds quick. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have tons of experience in doggy day care, and my husband and I moved to the area 3 years ago. He is active duty ARMY, so he can be gone a lot, and what better way to fill the time than with furry friends! I will love your dog like my own. I go to the gym in the morning, than I am home the rest of the day! We will have plenty of time for walks and play time and I hope you meet you and you furry friend soon! I am getting my masters degree in nutrition from an online university so I do all of my work from home! It is the perfect home for your doggie too! I will love your pet as you do! Walk and feed in the morning and then feed and a walk after dinner plus the dog gets free roam in and out of the house because we have a fully fenced in yard I’m a stay at home mom with two little kids! They are two and five. We have a huge fenced in yard and I am never gone for more than an hour or two.
About: Animals have always been a part of my life… my family believed caring for them taught us responsibility, and they were right (quite the blessing in disguise)! I’ve grown up surrounded by everything from pugs to mastiffs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, and even an iguana (and yes… we once nursed a raccoon back to health after an accident!). More recently, I’ve had two bunnies and a bearded dragon of my own, and while living with roommates, I helped care for their golden retriever, mini poodle, and cat. This included daily walks/hikes, bathroom breaks, meals, cuddles, hikes, and even the occasional bath were all part of the routine. I treat every pet like family, and I genuinely love being surrounded by animals. Whether it’s a gentle stroll or an energetic adventure, your pet is in caring, experienced hands with me! Pet care fits perfectly into my lifestyle! I work a consistent Monday–Friday schedule from 8 AM to 4 PM, but I’m able to come home during my lunch break for 1–2 hours, plenty of time for potty breaks, walks, or cuddle sessions. Evenings and weekends are wide open, and I love spending my free time hiking, reading, and relaxing making it easy to give pets all the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s weekday check-ins or weekend adventures, I’m ready to show your pets the love, consistency, and fun they need! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I live in an extremely pet-friendly apartment that’s perfect for pups of all sizes. While we do live close to busy roads we are in a more quiet location. I will always make sure your pets feel secure and at ease, whether that means crate time for a cozy den like rest or letting them roam freely under supervision. I’m happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to, just say the word! During walks, your pet will always stay leashed and in sight, and I’ll treat their care with the same attention and love I’d give my own. You can trust that your fur baby will be in a safe, loving environment every step of the way.
“Matthew was great with our three cats- tons of pics, litter boxes were scooped, and any messes cleaned up. He was super communicative as well. Definitely will see if he’s available for future visits!”
“Sarah did a great job watching our pups! She was very reliable and did a great job with our elderly dog. We appreciated all the updates and pics. She was great at communicating and we will definitely book Sarah again!”
About: Hi! We’re Isaac and Elizabeth. We are animal lovers who will never let a dog or cat we come across go without love and attention (with permission from the owner of course!). We lost our fur baby, Dolly, a 12 year old Rottweiler late 2023 and would love to have some fur babies to give our love to as we are not planning on adopting another dog at this time. We have loved and cared for dogs of all ages, temperaments and sizes. Although never personally owning a cat ourselves, we have taken care of cats for friends and family many times and are comfortable caring for any of their needs. We have loved and cared for dogs and cats our entire lives and truly see them as family and would be honored to love your family as our own. Isaac has a flexible schedule and Elizabeth works nearby from 8-2 during the week and is available the rest of the time so between the two of us there’s always someone available to care for your fur baby :) We live in a townhome with grass right outside our front door with trails and parks nearby. We do not have kids or pets at this time so if your pet is used to being an only child we happily provide that!
About: I’ve had dogs as a part of my life since the day I came home from the hospital to a house full of dogs. I’ve trained a few of mine as puppies and up and can never get enough of spending time with dogs As someone who spent their whole life competing in high level athletics and missing life with my dogs I am always looking to fill my day with pets I’ve crate trained a few of my dogs so I totally understand that is their space and the positive place it can be and how to encourage them of that
About: I’m a dedicated and trustworthy dog walker and pet sitter offering drop-in visits and fun, safe walks for your furry friend. With years of experience working with dogs of all sizes, I know how important it is for your pet to feel comfortable, active, and loved—especially when you’re away. Whether it’s a midday walk, potty break, feeding, or just some playtime and TLC, I treat every dog like family. I have stepped away from the corporate world taking a career break. This allows me the ability to really be flexible. At this time no overnights! It is really up to the paw-rents to tell me how to care for their dog. My objective is to continue the routine and the needs for the duration of the walk or the drop in visit. I just supply the love, attention, and care. Yes of course that includes endless petting, kisses, and belly rubs!

“Brittney is one of the best dog sitters we ever had! We have a big lab named Rover and he adores her.

She goes above and beyond for our pup. I highly recommend her.”
