“Sarah and her family were so wonderful! They gave Penny lots of love and cuddles and sent a ton of photos while we were away. Definitely recommend!!”
“Sonya is amazing in every way. She was very easy to communicate with and so accommodating! She sent us daily updates and pictures and even offered to meet us and our dog before the drop-off. We came home to a very happy pup. I think he had a better vacation than we did. Don't hesitate to book Sonya. I would give her 10 stars if I could.”
“Sarah was great with Beckham, was patient with him and put up with his quirks as a senior dog learning to adjust to his senior-ness. She also provided updates of him during his stay. Thanks for taking such good care of him, Sarah!”
About: I have a husky-jack mix named Macy, and a beautiful senior, miniature schnauzer named Bella. Both my dogs have very unique needs. Macy is a young rescue dog who has anxiety and needs a lot of exercise, and Bella is older and needs fragile care and special attention. Besides my two dogs, I work from home so I am able to spend the quality time your animal needs. I live a very active life, full of swimming, running, walking and lifting so I am able to keep up with whatever activity level your animal may require. I have experience pet-sitting and have throughly enjoyed the responsibility of providing great care to people’s animals when they are gone. I have experience giving medications to animals (with instructions), making special meals and managing more sensitive animals that require more attention. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am home full time so taking care of my animal is something that is sewn into my daily routine. Pets in my care have my attention at any time they need, making me a perfect fit for any animal. My animals have free roam on my couch and bed; anything to make them comfortable. Additionally, having administered medications plenty of times to pets and my own, I have a fine attention to details.
“Kara was so wonderful with my dog Pippa! She was very flexible and accommodating. Plus, Pippa had a great time in her care. I would highly recommend!”
“Java had a fun time and loved having a buddy to chase around the yard. Gina was responsive and we felt very comfortable with her caring for Java.”
“Our little, senior dog, Lily, was well cared for, happy and content staying with Ryan. He understood her limitations but still took her on her much loved walks. He was very caring and loving towards her.”
“Trent spoiled my dog with lots of exercise - he came home pooped after spending the night! He sent lots of photos during Yogi’s stay. I’d highly recommend Trent, and I’ll be using him again for sure!”
“Megan recently looked after my two babies - Cavalier King Charles spaniels for three nights and they had a great stay! Megan sent frequent updates with pictures. She really put my mind at ease about leaving them to go on vacation, which is what I needed. She took great care of them and they seemed to fit in very well in her home. We will continue to use Megan whenever we need someone to look after our babies!”
“Jaelyse was the perfect puppy sit for my reactive pup. I received photos and updates the whole time I was away! We are so happy with the service that we are going to continue seeing them for weekly walks!!”
“Shawna and Chris were awesome. They took such great care of Teddy. They had her out for lots of walks, play time and snuggles. Highly recommend and will definitely be using them again.”
“From beginning to end Jeff made sure I knew my little guy was taken care of. He sent me pictures and messages letting me know how Theo was doing and I could tell he was having fun! It was clear they became friends which made me so very happy! Thank you again Jeff, you were a life saver!”
“Simba had a wonderful boarding experience at Gail's place. Gail's daughter Felicity took care of him throughout his stay with love and care ❤️”

About: I recently had to say good-bye to my 16.5 yo soulmate Jagger. Jagger had many health issues from his puppy years to his senior years which I financed (with ZERO hesitation 🥰) & managed daily. I feel that I learned so much from his various healthcare issues that can carry over into caring for your loving soulmate. I am experienced in anything from eye/eardrops, administering oral medications, and even insulin injections. I also successfully crate trained Jagger as a puppy and feel that this kept him to be a calm, independent, and happy dog well into his senior years. I have no children so I have lots of time and space to devote to your beloved pets. I am looking forward to opening my home to them and sharing my love with your dogs (or cats) who may be in need of a safe space while you are away. There are also many lovely parks, beaches, lakes and trail adventures for your dog to experience in my neighborhood and I look forward to sharing all of them with your pets! I work from home so have the freedom to have playtime , walks, and potty breaks many times throughout the day and night with absolute patience and love I am able to accommodate any size dog or cat Inside my home. With lots of large windows for them to look outside and watch the world go by. I also have lots of beds, treats and toys on hand to help make your pet’s stay comfortable!
About: I've had and taken care of animals (specificallycats and dogs) pretty much all my life. My family adopted my first dog when I was 6 and I have been caring for pets ever since. Family and friends have trusted and relied on me to care for, pet sit, play and walk their pets for many years. I am available for house sitting, drop ins and walks at anytime on weekends. I work full-time so I am only available after 4:30pm for walks on weekdays. I own one cat who loves to play and gets along with other animals, and I have a comfortae space for your lovely pet. I can crate pets if needed. I am currently working a full-time job, but have flexibility to make time for your pets! I am available every day and also on most holidays. I follow pet care instructions to a tee. If an issue comes up I am able to troubleshoot with sound judgment and communicate every step of the way.
“Miranda is amazing! She took really good care of Luna, sent me pictures daily and was always available! She has a lovely family and they were very caring and loving with Luna! I will definitely leave Luna with her again!”

“Jordan is about as loving as a pet parent can get! Her love for animals shows, and is exactly why I've trusted her to care for my dog, many times. With a pet who requires significant attention and care, I am careful with who I trust to care for my dog when I'm gone. Jordan is my first choice, always, and it's thanks to her wonderful care that I can travel with peace of mind, knowing my fur baby is well looked after while I'm gone. Can't recommend her enough!”
