About: I became a dog mom at 19, and have been dog-sitting off and on ever since! While the extra income is always nice, I mainly do it to prevent coming home with a new puppy every week. I treat all the dogs I meet like they're my own and give them as much love as I do to my own babies - an 11 year old Lab mix and 6 year old German Shepherd! They both have loved every dog I've ever had staying at my house. I'm comfortable with all breeds and all ages, and have no problem giving medications if needed. I am available during the daytime for long walks and have a very flexible work schedule, which means a lot of play time for your pup! I’m currently working remote part-time and have the flexibility to choose my own hours, which means I have plenty of spare time during the day to spend with your pup! I treat your pets as if they are my own, giving them the same amount of love and attention if not more! I always make sure they are well cared for and that the client comes home to a clean house and happy pets!
“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!”

“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!”


“Melissa was absolutely wonderful and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my dog like her own. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos—it made such a difference knowing everything was going smoothly. She followed all instructions perfectly and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was happy and comfortable during each visit. It’s clear she takes her role seriously and genuinely loves what she does. I would 100% book with Melissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

“She was great with the cats, and so communicative and sweet! Would highly recommend and will be rebooking with her for sure next time I go on a trip. Thanks Kimmie and kids!”

“Jessica went above and beyond what we’d expect from our cat sitter! We are so grateful that we knew our cat was in good hands and that he’d get a lot of love while we were away! We highly recommend Jessica and would absolutely use her again!”


About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Because I’ve always had pets of my own, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust looking after your furry family members. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply keeping a routine, I’m here to provide dependable, caring support for your pets. I’m currently a senior in high school, and my class schedule is very flexible. I only have classes from 2:05-3:45, which means I’m available most of the day for pet care. This allows me plenty of time for walks, check-ins, feeding schedules, and giving your pets the attention they need. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets, I respectfully follow the pet’s normal schedule like handling feedings, walks, potty breaks, medication if needed, and any special instructions you provide. No matter where the care takes place, I’m committed to offering reliable, loving, and attentive service so your pet feels happy and secure while you’re away.

“Samantha did an amazing job with my three cats! They are very spoiled and needy and require a little of extra attention. She was very attentive and sent a lot of pictures so I was able to see her interactions with them. I could not be more pleased with the service she provided. My cats are my babies, and it felt great that I knew I could trust her completely!!”
“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!”


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!
“Taylor is wonderful! She is always quick in responding, conscientious, and very reliable. She took such good care of our animals and I would highly recommend her without hesitation. I will definitely be hiring her again.”

“Christy is the best! This was the first time we booked her, and we wish we could give her 10 stars! Our dog loved her, she was prompt, sent pictures during her stay and we will definitely be calling on her again in the future. Thank you, Christy!”

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 been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me time and time again to look after their pets (and even their plants), and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I share my home with my sweet lab mix, Congo, and my newly adopted cat, Mayo, who bring so much joy into my life. I’ve also spent years house‑sitting and pet‑sitting, and my time working in the local restaurant industry has taught me to be dependable, patient, and attentive. I treat every pet with the same love and comfort I give my own! I’m a local college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, and consistent care. I follow safe walking practices with secure leash handling and close awareness of my surroundings. I also stick to your dog’s usual training and routine to keep them comfortable.
“Zaina was amazing! So conscientious, both of my cats (including the usually very shy one) loved her which just goes to show what a calming sweet presence she is. Kept me up to date with lots of photos, would definitely book again and would highly recommend her to anyone else!”


“Katie has been the absolute best person to watch my babies. She goes above and beyond in every way and makes me feel completely safe when they’re with her. I’m a panicky dog mom and worry about a lot but she gives a ton of pictures and really works with the boys. If they haven’t gone to the bathroom she spends extra time so they have the chance. She even brought them a super nice duck toy after taking care of them. My boys absolutely love her and I would recommend her over anyone else! 🐾♥️”

About: I have experience in the boarding kennel field for almost 10 years now and grooming for about 4 years. I can administer medicines and I’m not afraid to clean up messes after your fur babies. I have worked with big breed and small breeds and everything in between! No pup has ever scared me away from this field of work! I have 4 dogs of my own, from a Cane Corso to a small Lab mix with two Pitbulls in between. I love going on walks probably just as much as your fur baby. I can spend time with your pups Thursday - Friday 8:30 am to 2 pm and Friday to Sunday 8:30 to whenever you need. Every other day during the week I am spending time with my daughter while she’s out of school and my husband when he is home from work! If my schedule is conflicting with the times you pick, we can try and work around it. So hopefully we can work something out. I am flexible with whatever you or your fur baby will need. Even if its a belly rub... (For the pup haha) I cant wait to meet you and your pups! I sadly do not have the space for boarding your fur babies at my own home as I already have 4 fur babies myself and a toddler. But in your own home, I will follow every rule or instruction you provide and give them my full attention!
