“McKenna did such a wonderful job looking after our Addie. It was clear how much the two of them bonded and how much love and attention McKenna put into looking after her. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Caitlin was amazing! It was obvious that Ollie and Daisy loved her. She was very accommodating and took care of our pups with love and kindness. I would ask Caitlin to watch Ollie and Daisy again in a heartbeat! Thank you Caitlin!!”
“Jenna and Aiden were absolutely a dream! My dogs were well cared for. We came home to happy healthy dogs and a house in better shape than when we left. They absolutely went above and beyond. They gave us updates on the dogs with pictures. We will be using them again!”
“Liz met us at our campsite right on time and she immediately got along with our Catahoula, Annie. They were quick friends. Liz did a great job keeping her safe and entertained while me and my family attended a concert, and Annie was safe and relaxed when we got back to our site. Liz did great and I'll recommend her to anyone who needs help watching their fur baby for a few hours.”
About: Hello! My name is Skylar; I am 26 years old, my family has owned dogs my whole life, I own a dog and two cats! I currently work at a daytrain facility for dogs and am on my way to eventually becoming a dog trainer! I am relatively flexible as I work around my jobs schedule but I always provide the upmost care for animals. As a dog lover, I’m here to ensure that your family members stay happy and safe while you’re away! I currently work part time at a daytrain facility for dogs, typically in the afternoons - So I am available mostly in the mornings and evenings ( after 6 pm)! I am able to provide walks if needed (or if there is no fenced in yard), as well as special diets and medications as needed!
“Ashley and Bob were great with my 10 year old, nervous & quirky pup! They stayed at the house with her for 3 days and 3 nights and during that time, sent frequent updates and pictures. I was so grateful for their communication and care of my dog.”
About: Hello! My name is Arielle 🤗 I love animals of all sizes and species, but I have had the most experience with dogs. I have two dogs of my own who I adore, and I also train hounds locally. Under my care, your pet will feel loved and cared for like my own. I am very attentive to the details, along with being able to work well under pressure if there is a situation that needs it. More than that, I love all animals and will make sure your pet feels safe and loved.☀️❤️ I am currently living at home with my parents for the summer which gives me a lot of leniency with my time and schedule. I have access to a car in which I can get someplace I need to with short notice. I am not available on weekends as much since I do have work, but weekdays I will give my undivided time and energy to your pets! I care for my clients pets in their homes as if they are my own, but adjusting it based on their specific needs and qualities. While in a clients house I take great pride in my tidiness and leave things just as I found them. I respect their homes, them, and their pets. I am able to drop in and/or stay the night depending on the service needed.
About: I have actively been taking care of dogs since I was a teenager, and in doing so I have worked with a variety of breeds, sizes, and dog of different ages. My manner of minding focuses on building a connection with the dog while uniquely understanding the breed and the specific needs they may need met. I'm very active and thus great with dogs who are looking to get in shape or have high energy levels. I have experience working with dogs who have been abused or neglected and re-socialising them. My home is large enough for multiple dogs of many sizes to be comfortable in as well as a short walk away from multiple parks. Both mornings as well nights are currently available Monday-Sunday.
“Michelle is the best! I have had her house & pet sit for me numerous times. She is always reliable and communicates quickly. It's nice that I can travel knowing that my Paisley is well taken care of!”
“Allie was wonderful! We had her do house sitting while away for a week. She was tidy in the house and so responsive to any communications. Dependable and trust worthy. She took great care of the pups and spent a lot of time with them. Would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly understand their needs! I’ve trained my personal service animal, fostered pups in need, and already dog-sit for wonderful owners in the North Park community. Plus, I work from home, so your dog will get plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Whether they need playtime, training reinforcement, or just a cozy cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel right at home! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! Since I work from home full-time, your pup will have plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for weekend boarding and can accommodate weekday care after 12 PM—unless we’ve planned and confirmed a schedule that works best for your dog’s specific needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel loved and comfortable! 🐾 Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a loving, structured environment tailored to their needs. My dog, Luca, is a great companion and will help keep your pup company. We have a routine of three walks a day, ensuring plenty of exercise and outdoor time. I also provide mental enrichment activities, assist with crate training, and even reinforce sign language for dogs—a valuable skill that benefits all pups, especially as they age and may experience hearing loss. Your dog will be in great hands, getting the care, attention, and training they need to thrive! 🐾
“Sally is amazing. She sent me pics and updates about my boys every day. She took care of my home leaving it cleaner than when we left. I enjoyed my vacation with complete peace of mind.”
“Catherine was amazing very caring with the dogs updated me often sent lots of pictures. Was a pleasure meeting her she is a great person and will definitely call her again.”
“Chantel was amazing. We have 2 cats that need regular care and medication, as well as a rat who was being medicated too. We went away and came home to cats so calm and relaxed it was like we never left. The house and litter was possibly even cleaner than we left if. She sent regular pictures and updates. I would recommend Chantel to anyone; especially if they have high maintenance pets.”
“Michelle provided house sitting for our 3 dogs and cat. She did a wonderful job following detailed medication and feeding instructions, and provided daily pics and updates on them. The animals were clearly all healthy and happy upon return. I would book her again without hesitation.”
“Alyssa is great! My pets and home were well cared for. My dog gets pretty anxious when I go out of town but he seemed very calm and relaxed when I came back. He seemed like he had a great time with Alyssa!”
