“Another 5 star review for Taylor. She was able to look after my cat on very short notice. My cat loves her and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”


“Chrissy was awesome!! She took such great care of our lab. She went out of her way to make sure he continued in his normal routines and that he was happy and comfortable each time she was with him. I would definitely recommend her care!”


“Lindy was extremely communicative, on time and thorough! Our pup was so much happier upon our return from a short weekend away verses his time in a kennel. We are so thankful and will have Lindy drop in again!”


“Allison is the best! Just like when she watched our girls previously, I never had to stress while on vacation knowing our pups were in good hands. Even when one of our girls had an accident, she made an extra stop at our place to clean up the mess. She is reliable and great at communicating. Highly recommend!”


“Hannah was so friendly and flexible with my schedule! She was great with my pup and sent lots of updates and pics. I will definitely have her check on my pup again in the future!”


“Sky was extremely responsive and followed all my requests for my cat who required special attention, a variety of foods, and medication administration multiple times per day. She kept me updated on his progress at each visit and even made an extra visit to check on him on a day I was concerned.”


“Michelle did an amazing job keeping me updated throughout the week that I was out of town. I had plenty of pictures and was at ease knowing our kitty was in good hands and didn’t miss a meal!”

About: As a Cane Corso owner (x2), I’m used to big dogs with big personalities, but I love pups/animals of all shapes and sizes! Whether it’s a high-energy walk or a quick potty break and snuggles, I always treat your pet like my own. I understand how important trust and routine are, and I’ll make sure your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for every visit. I’m a teacher on summer break with open availability for walks and drop-in visits during the day, evenings, and weekends. Once the school year begins, I’ll be available for evening and weekend visits. I’m dependable, communicative, and will always work with you to make sure your pet gets the care they need! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. During walks and drop-in visits, I stay alert to your pet’s behavior and surroundings, and I always follow your instructions closely — whether it’s feeding routines, meds, leash preferences, or crate time. I’ll make sure your home stays secure, your pet stays calm, and that you receive updates with every visit. As a fellow dog parent, I understand how important trust is when someone’s caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously.

“From start to finish, our dogs loved her. Great communication throughout our time away, pictures, videos, etc. Easy to work with, very adaptable to any changes necessary. We will definitely be calling in her again. Thank you Mari!”



About: I have 2 fully energized pups who love to socialize and will be the perfect play pals for your pup! We go on long hikes and play in the yard. I have over 10 years experience handling and caring for animals as well as a military background so your pup is in good hands. It would be my pleasure to care for your fur baby as I understand the peace of mind it is to have someone you trust looking after them while you are away. I truly believe in keeping excitement in any dog’s routine and so I love exploring new parks to play at, trails to hike, beaches to play on, and friends to share it with. Can’t wait to spoil your fur baby! I work close by and provide potty breaks as needed. Weekends and evenings are usually filled with yard play and training for the dogs in addition to exploring nearby trails. I have 2 dogs that are socialized with other animals and a fully fenced yard. They are not left unattended for long durations and my home is very safe and pet friendly.

About: I grew up with several different kinds of animals at home. My first job was at a pet store and I have continued to love caring for animals since then. I've taken care of friends and neighbors pets for several years. I am comfortable with any pet, as long as they have a good temperament. I am a fourth grade teacher, so my schedule is completely open in the summer. During the school year, my availability is mostly limited to weekends. At my home I have a fenced in backyard and two high energy dogs ( a Dutch Shepherd and a Corgi) who would love a buddy to play with. I also have three children, ages 8-15, who like to help take care of our furry friends. At your home you can expect your pet to be cared for just like you were there, whether they need to be walked or just let out and played with while you are away. Dogs must be crate trained for boarding or day care at my home. This allows me to make sure my pets and yours are safe when I leave the house.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to watch over their dogs while they were away. My whole family loves animals, and we currently have 3 dogs: a dachshund, a corgi, and a golden doodle. We take them everywhere with us! For the last decade, I have been working remotely, giving me the flexibility to drop by and attend to your dog. Whether it’s a walk, a quick check in, or some playtime, I’m available! I understand the challenges of balancing work away from home with pet ownership. That’s why a reliable person to keep your dog, engaged throughout the day is invaluable. There’s no greater joy than returning home to a happy and eagerly awaiting furry friend! I have 18 acres and a fenced-in back yard for my dogs. The golden Doodle (Cora Bell) loves everyone, the Dachshund (Dutton) loves to play, and the corgi (Waffles) will run the property until she tuckers out!

About: my family has had a dog for 11 years! I was the designated walker and always loved getting out with the pup and hitting the pavement in the mornings or after school. I work full time, so this is mostly just to get out and get some exercise in before or after I get off work for the day. on walks I am stern but never mean if a dog is misbehaving. I prefer leash trained dogs, of course, and love all types of animals :)


About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. Before I became of mom to 3 beautiful children, ages 14, 10 and 8, I worked around dogs for 5 years at a 5 star hotel pet resort in Alexandria, VA. The love I have for animals is indescribable. Having an animal around fills my heart with so much joy! I'm that person who wants to adopt every dog I see because I know I could give it the best home and family to be loved by. We love to go on walks daily!! If throwing toys and playing fetch is your thing we also love doing that! Whether you’re dog wants to relax or play we’ve got a solution for it all! I have a fenced in backyard that is perfect for any dog to relax or to run! We love to be outside when it’s nice and inside when it’s too hot!
