Chloe helped us out on short notice and took great care of our dog. We couldn’t be happier and will definitely ask for her again the next time we need a dog sitter.

Alexa was absolutely wonderful. My Papillion reported that Alexa was a terrific companion to walk with and gave the best tummy rubs ever! We are extremely happy with service she provided and would select her again when we are in need of someone to care for our dog and cat. Thanks Alexa!

Peyton was amazing!!! Such a relief that she checked in regularly and sent photos. Dogs were so happy with her that we didn't even get the normal guilt trip when we returned :). HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Our Bailey cries when she comes in the door. She had to pick her up as soon as Josephine puts down whatever she was holding. She is like family to us.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a love for them. I had a black lab from 6 till I was 18 that I took care of by giving walks, feeding, playing fetch, etc. I also had a chocolate lab for a few years and now have a yellow lab that is 3. I’ve been around golden retrievers, pugs, French bulldogs, labs, doodles, and feel comfortable with most dogs. I’m a college student who misses her own dog back home and wants to hangout with some dogs for fun! Im currently a full-time college student and have many breaks during the day to go care for dogs whether it’s playing for a few hours or just a quick walk and potty break! I will respect your home and follow all rules you have. Most importantly I want to make sure your dog is taken care of however you need!

About: I’ve been taking care of animals of all kinds since I was just a tot at 4 years old. I have pets of my own, one of which requires twice daily medication, so I am well versed and experienced in medication administration. I currently hold a full time job, that keeps me busy from 7am-3pm Monday-Friday. Outside of those hours I love to spend time with my own pets and would love to expand that to spending time with even more furry friends! I always like to make sure my home is safe and “pet proof,” never leaving out any plants, cleaners, food, or anything that may harm pets in any way. Ensuring they eat their meals and get any needed medication in a timely matter is vital to me.

About: Hi, I’m Allie! With over 2 years of hands-on experience working at a dog kennel, I know what it takes to keep pups happy, healthy, and safe. I work from home most of the week, so your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day—not just quick check-ins. I have a secure fenced-in backyard for playtime and exercise, and two friendly dogs of my own who love making new friends. If your pup enjoys socializing, they’ll have built-in playmates and lots of fun! Whether it’s walks, snuggles, or just a calm environment, I treat every dog like family. I’m here to give your pet the same love and care I give my own. I work from home most of the week, which means I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, play sessions, and plenty of attention. My two dogs already have a routine, so adding another pup fits right in with walks, feeding times, and backyard play. In My Home: I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of attention throughout the day since I work from home. Dogs enjoy supervised play in my secure fenced backyard, daily walks, and lots of snuggles. I follow each pet’s routine for feeding, medications, and special care instructions to keep them happy and stress-free. My two friendly dogs love having playmates, so social pups will have built-in companionship. In Your Home: If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I make sure to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. I treat your home with respect and keep everything tidy while ensuring your pet feels safe and loved. My kennel experience means I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and can adapt to your pet’s unique needs.

Connor went above and beyond for my dogs! He walked, fed, and kept them company while I was away. I came back to happy stress free dogs. He was communicative and kept me updated.

About: I hope your dog likes Vizslas! Kill two birds with one stone by letting them socialize while I care for them. Got an energetic pup? I’m a distance runner! I’ll take them running with me and return them to you tired and happy! I just moved to the area, can be very flexible with time, and would love to meet the local dog lovers and help them out as we all need a pet sitter here and there! Dog sitting also ties in to my business as a Field Rep with Life’s Abundance pet food! Contact me if you’re looking to switch to a healthier meal for your best friend! I’ll keep up with Crate training, leash training and any other daily lessons needed, daily exercise will depend on the dog’s energy demands, will follow owner’s instructions exactly on how to feed and time of day.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have taken care of many different animals. I have taken care of many breeds of dogs, cats, bunnies, lizards and more. I trained my own dog, Zula from puppy obedience to becoming a certified therapy dog and have always just had a huge passion for animals. I also have a horse that I retrained from a racehorse to a show jumper that I show competitively, and just really enjoy being around animals. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! As a college student (who is currently working a bit more than part-time) I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I prioritize clear communication and consistency, so you can count on reliable care whether it’s a quick walk, a drop-in, or overnight sitting. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to keep their routine consistent and their environment safe and stress-free. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes, and I always double-check that doors, gates, and crates are secure. I treat every home with respect and every pet with the love and attention I’d give my own.

I’ve had Alexa stay with our dog on multiple occasions. Each time I’ve been impressed with her care and professionalism. My husband always tells people our dog is disappointed when we show up because he knows his time with Alexa is over. She’s the best!

Aspen did an excellent job. Our dog has some very specific dietary needs and is high energy but she handled it all great. And the house was left clean and ready for weary travelers when we got home. Would definitely book Aspen again for our next trip.
