“We booked with Sarah last minute after she was recommended to us and she was so understanding and accommodating even with the short notice! Will absolutely use her again in the future! ♥️”

“Took great care of Khoda; Spent time with him, took him for walks, kept me updated daily with photos of him, he definitely did not want to come back home lol Thank you again for taking care of my dog and ensuring his attention-needs were met. I'll definitely be in contact for future trips/vacations, I know he can't wait to come back and see his human and dog friends again!”

“Our quick trip home to Ohio was filled with lots of stress and it was so nice to not have to worry about Grace. Mark took exceptional care of her and kept us updated. He spoiled her! I had so much anxiety about leaving her but that quickly went away and we have Grace booked for a week stay with Mark, later this month. This is definitely a better situation than boarding her at a kennel.”

“This was the 2nd time Nicole watched Pepper for me, this time it was for a couple of days. She takes such good care of him, treats him like he’s her own little guy. Nicole is amazing!”

About: I have had dogs since I was 7 years old. I’ve had big dogs and little dogs. I currently have 2 dogs of my own and I foster through Cross Your Paws Rescue. I love dogs more than most people. I have dog sat in my own house as well as family and friends homes. I promise to care for your dog(s) as if they were my own! I currently work full time but my husband works from home so someone is almost always at home with the dogs. When we aren’t home, it’s only for dinner or a quick grocery run. We don’t like leaving our dogs for more than a couple hours. I have a fenced in back yard and 2 dogs that love to play! I also sometimes have foster dogs in my home but they are always fully vaccinated and spayed/neutered and always are dog friendly.

About: We have been around animals our whole lives. Adam grew up on a farm and Haley had dogs, cats, and birds. We currently have two golden retrievers and two cats. We are experienced in providing pet medication, as one of our cats takes daily medication. Haley works from home full time so she has a lot of flexibility and availability. Adam works full time in the office but has availability in the evenings. We have a fenced in back yard and two golden retrievers who love to play! We also have two cats that get along well with other animals.
“Our pup was in the BEST HANDS EVER! I’m getting ready to book them again. They’re top notch with their communication and love for your pup. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them.”

“Christy and Daniel saved the day when our other sitters cancelled 3 days before our vacation. They were so gracious and understanding, their farm is absolutely beautiful, and they took great care of our pups, we were a mess dropping them off, we were 15 minutes late because we forgot one of our dog's beds, we also forgot one of their food containers, AND their bowls. Then we got our time to return mixed up and were two hours late picking them up, they were so understanding and kind. We would absolutely use them agaain! Highly recommend!”

“I feel very lucky to have met Amber and her family. My puppy is extremely well cared for at their beautiful and spacious home. Her little ones treat the puppy as if it was their own and the picture updates show a super loved doggie. I will always bring my little one to them. 😊”

“The girls LOVED their time at Kacy's. They were passed out for nearly a day after they got home. Kacy has two sweet pups of her own that played my my kids the entire time. Will be calling in Kacy again. Thank you!!!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog Dunkin with non family members. Adam and Debbie were fantastic. Dunkin was extremely comfortable, & we knew he was going to be more than happy. Debbie sent us photos through out our vacation & it was so comforting to see him being so relaxed. If we ever need another dog sitter in the future , they will 100000% be the first people we call!”

About: I lost my beagle baby girl a year and a half ago, and I would love to give your pet the same care and attention as her. I have experience walking, nail trimming, administering medication, and assisting with mobility issues. I love all animals and would happily welcome yours into my home. I am looking to provide dog walking/quick visit services on weekdays after my work, and boarding services on weekends when I’m off. While in my care, your pet will have my diligent attention and care. I have a big yard for running and playing. It is not fenced, but I can utilize tethers to give them room to move around under supervision. I will make it my top priority to love your pet and follow your care instructions.
“Canela loved staying with Jessica, Ted, and their kids! We received many photo updates which we greatly appreciated. It was also great that the family was able to stay with Canela most of the time, as she is used to people being around most of the day. She came home to us happy, healthy, and worn out from all her playing during what we would call a 5 star stay!”

“Brittany was great with our two pups! We could tell when we picked them up they enjoyed their time and didn’t want to leave - they were passed out in the car ride on the way home lol! I know they both got lots of love from Brittany, her son, and Athena! She even went out and bought one of our pups a new harness because it broke with no intentions of getting a refund which shows she’s a very caring person overall. Will use again in the future!”

“Highly recommend. Our boy was well taken care of with daily updates and pictures. He loved playing with her dogs and actually came home pretty tired from all the activity. Will definitely be using Melissa again.”
“We absolutely love Sarah and her family! She’s watched our dogs multiple times and we always feel so comfortable leaving them with her. She’s super engaging, and our dogs have a great time. We learned this time that they especially love watching her chickens! Highly recommend ☺️”

“Priyanka was great! She took gizmo last minute and was very accommodating. She has a dog of her own who is very friendly and playful and very nice and clean home. Definitely a place where you feel comfortable leaving your baby. She sent plenty of pictures and updates and overall it was a good experience. Gizmo told me he had a very lovely time!”

About: I grew up with all dogs and my parents weren’t always around to take care of them so I would be home and help out with them, love, and raise them. I have always been the friend to call when they needed help with training dogs, help, or just when they need some them time without their pet. I can train a dog fairly fast and I have a lot of patience. I trained my puppy to , sit, speak, lay down, close the door(sounds funny but it works) how to crawl in case of a fire, etc. it takes time but it works, and I am here to train, watch, and love any animal. And I trained my cat I had too but I’m not very skilled in cat training but I am able to watch and love them the same way. I work a night job, but my schedule isn’t tight the days. I’m usually there are Sunday Wednesday and Tuesday and sometimes Monday I go shopping throughout the week in the day but priorities come first so if you need help with sitting overnight puppie or cat stays. or just simple walks. I am always available if you need me. I have one dog and he is nine months. He is very friendly and he loves new friends, but he is crate trained and I have an extra crate if that’s what you would like for your dog I have a small yard but I do do Home watches if that’s what you would prefer. I offer almost anything. Just tell me what you would like for your dog or a cat.
“Dodger came back happy! Michelle sent photos and updates everyday and was very mindful of our requests. I'm insuring his behavior. We recommend Michelle and will be using her again in a few weeks!”
“It’s such a relief to know I have someone I can completely trust to take care of my pup. I’ll definitely be booking with Maria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and professional pet sitter!”
