7. Pearl J.


“Pearl is amazing! From booking to the time we picked our babies up, we had no problems at all. The moment we met Pearl, we immediately had this sense that our babies will be safe with her. Our babies stayed with Pearl for 5 nights. As a pet owner, you want to feel safe where you leave your precious babies, that’s exactly how we felt with Pearl. She has a lovely home and she treated our babies as if they were hers. She gives me updates and pictures daily which is a nice touch! I have already booked our next boarding with Pearl for our next trip! I’m so happy we found Pearl here.”

“Our Tia had the best time of her life with Wendy. We are so grateful that we were able to go on our overseas trip over Christmas and not have to worry a thing about Tia's wellbeing. Wendy treated her like family, and like her own dogs who became Tia's new best friends. And Tia loved Wendy and her husband from the get-go. We really appreciated the frequent updates with pics. Whenever the need arises again, Wendy will be the first one we will contact. Highly recommended!”

We will definitely be using Bella again when we go away next month.”

About: Hey Pawrents! I am a new resident in the area, and just moved here from Germany! I can provide reliable pet care for your furry friends. I grew up with dogs, and own my own as well. I do work full time but any booking will be when I am 100% available. Please note rates are not fixed. I am willing to discuss rates they are flexible! Since I am in the Army my schedule is predictable, I am available early morning and then after 5 pm. I am available on weekends. I can take care of animals in my home, however a meet and greet would be necessary and I do not have a backyard at this time.


16. Aaron M.

“Aaron was great!! He kept me updated throughout my puppy’s stay, and made sure she was worn out before I came to get her lol! I’ll definitely be using his services again.”


17. Katie D.

“Katie is amazing and you can tell definitely an animal lover. She took such good care of my Chihuahua, even sent updates of how he was doing. I would definitely have Katie watch him in the future if I ever need a sitter again.”


18. Yvonne & Joseph K.


“Yvonne is a very attentive and dependable sitter! She took care of our Missy with the utmost care! She regularly sent photos so we knew Missy was content, happy, and doing well! We highly recommend her and will definitely look to use her services again!”

About: With over six and a half years of hands-on pet care, I bring a rare blend of experience, attentiveness, and heart. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing gentle, attentive care. What truly sets me apart is my ability to read and respond to animals’ unique personalities. I create a calm, consistent environment where pets feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s administering medication, offering leash training for puppies, or providing low-stress companionship for older pets, I bring patience and skill to every interaction. I also have experience caring for a diverse range of animals beyond just dogs and cats. From chickens and birds to hamsters and other small pets, I understand that every species has its own rhythm, needs, and comfort cues. I’m confident and compassionate with unique, exotic, or less-common animals, always prioritizing their safety, emotional well-being, and daily routines. Pet care is a built-in part of my weekly life. I’m highly flexible and genuinely enjoy working around each pet’s needs and schedule. Whether it’s early mornings, midday visits, evenings, or even late nights, I’m available and committed to making your pet’s care seamless and stress-free. I’m also happy to accommodate weekend bookings and unique timing requests whenever possible—just let me know what works best for you and your pet, and I’ll do my best to make it happen. Reliability, consistency, and clear communication are at the heart of everything I do. In clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining their pet’s normal routine and environment. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walking routes, medication routines, and preferred playtime activities—so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I also make sure the space stays tidy and respected while I’m there. If I’m hosting pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and welcoming space. I separate animals as needed, keep food and water fresh and clean, and ensure they have access to cozy rest areas and supervised play. I never leave pets unattended, and I’m mindful of their comfort, especially in a new setting. In both cases, I focus on creating a low-stress, high-trust atmosphere, and I keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and honest communication throughout the stay.
