“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”

About: I've been a dog person my whole life. Our family has shared our home with everything from standard poodles to an American Eskimo, so I've handled big personalities, high-maintenance coats, smart dogs who need a job, and gentle seniors who need patience and a soft place to land. We recently lost our beloved standard poodle, and while we're not ready for another dog of our own yet, we have a lot of love with nowhere to go. We'd be thrilled to pour it into yours. Your dog will be our only pet, which means undivided attention: no competing for the couch, the yard, or the treats. Speaking of the yard, it's fully enclosed, so there's plenty of room to sniff, play, and stretch out safely, and we're an easy walk from a nearby park for longer outings. Our home also includes a dog-adoring 7-year-old who has grown up around dogs and knows how to be calm and respectful with them, and all interactions are supervised. By day I run a national nonprofit (from our home), so I'm organized, responsive, and used to being trusted with things that matter to other people. You'll get prompt replies, photo updates, and a sitter who actually follows your instructions, whether that's a medication schedule, a specific feeding routine, or a nightly belly rub quota. I work from home, so your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. My day has a natural rhythm that suits most dogs: a morning walk or yard time before I start work, a midday break for a potty trip and some play, and a longer walk to the park in the late afternoon once the workday winds down. In between, your dog is welcome to nap at my feet, keep an eye on the squirrels from the window, or supervise my Zoom calls. Evenings and weekends are family time, which means more play, more attention, and more couch cuddles. I'm happy to follow your dog's existing schedule for meals, medications, and bedtime, since I know routine is what helps most dogs settle into a new place quickly. Your dog's safety and comfort come first in our home. We have a fully enclosed yard for supervised play and potty breaks, and we're a short walk from several parks for longer outings, always on leash unless you've told me otherwise. I do a quick check of gates and latches before every outing, and dogs are never left unattended outside. Inside, your dog has the run of our home and is welcome on the furniture unless you'd prefer they stay off. We've never crated our own dogs, but if a crate is what makes your pup feel safe and settled, I'm happy to use one. Just bring it along with their bed, food, and anything else that smells like home.

About: My love of dogs began when my mom got a puppy when I was in sixth grade. Now I am a dog mom. I've been the proud mom of a Boston Terrier/Frenchie mix for the past 4 years. I've raised her since she was 3 months old, through potty training, puppy training and intermediate training. I'd love to care for your fur baby too. I'm at home during the day and available to drop in/ walk your fur baby. I am available in the mornings and in the afternoon. I have an unfenced end unit townhouse. There is grass on the side of my house and plenty of unfenced grass in my townhome community. I work from home almost every day of the week so I will have time to take care of your baby during the weekday. I'm able to get out and walk dogs on the weekends. I have an unfenced yard and a fenced play area in front of my house. I have a friendly fur baby who likes to play and thinks she's the leader of the pack.

About: I have more than 14 years of professional animal-care experience, including 10 years working as a veterinary technician. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities, including seniors, shy or anxious pets, and animals with medical or special-care needs. My veterinary background taught me to pay close attention to the little things — changes in appetite, behavior, mobility, bathroom habits, or overall comfort — and to recognize when something may need closer attention. I’m also comfortable following detailed feeding and medication instructions and maintaining established routines. I know that every pet is different, so I adjust my care to the individual animal rather than expecting them to immediately adapt to me. Some pets want constant attention and cuddles; others need a little more time and space before they feel comfortable. My goal is always to help them feel safe, relaxed, and at home while their person is away. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and a variety of other animals throughout my career, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible, including their usual feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines. I know many pets do best when their routine stays familiar, so I’m very flexible and will tailor their day to what they’re accustomed to at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I have a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and potty breaks, and there are no children or resident pets in my home. This allows visiting pets to have a calm environment and plenty of individualized attention. I follow each owner’s instructions regarding leashes, harnesses, feeding, medications, exercise, and household routines. My veterinary experience also means I’m accustomed to monitoring animals closely for changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, bathroom habits, or comfort. I take introductions slowly and let pets settle in at their own pace. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.

“OMG!! Donna is the best sitter! She really treated my Lola as her very own. Donna and her husband were great! I was so worried about leaving my dog with a sitter, and Donna made me feel extra comfy by keeping me constantly updated with photos and videos of how my dog was doing while away. The home was very clean , and her pets really are a plus, and made Lola feel good as well , as she had a ball playing with them. I will be using Donna again very soon. And she is highly recommended if you need a dog sitter. Thanks again Donna!?”

Jade is very warm and inviting. We agreed on a 2 hr. meet and greet visit for our pet to be with her, given her separation anxiety and not being with her regular sitter. Jade reported our pet whining for the first hour being with her. When I asked Jade if she would be open to a future visit in hopes of my pet becoming lass anxious. She was immediate in saying yes.

Diego and Natalia are THE BEST SITTERS for my Snow who demands love, attention and closeness. The photos of Snow playing with their cat's toy, at the window with their cat, both of them looking out of the the window is a regular meeting place with each other. At home Snow has started perching herself on the back of our sofa and even enjoying some of her best naps of the day. My family is very grateful for the care and attentiveness of Diego and Natalia toward Snow but also to the other pets being boarded during the same time. Photos of the pets hanging out together are reassuring that all the pets are well regarded by these sitters.

This was the third time Scottie and Pierce have stayed with their Uncle Terrance, and this visit was for an entire week. As always, Terrance kept us updated with texts and pictures throughout their stay, and every update showed just how much fun they were having. Poor Terrance could barely get any work done on his laptop because Pierce insisted on sitting in his lap the whole time! 😂 When we returned from our trip, Scottie and Pierce were excited to see us, but the love, affection, and gratitude they showed Terrance when we picked them up was truly heartwarming. It was clear they felt safe, loved, and right at home. Thank you, Terrance, for caring for them as if they were your own. We appreciate you more than you know, and we look forward to the next stay!
