“Mary Jane was outstanding! She took amazing care of my 15 yo Maltese while I traveled and texted me daily with updates ❤️ My dog looked so happy in the pics I thought she may not want to come back ? I absolute recommend her!!!”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was a child. I know how special and precious they are to their owners. Every dog I look after is treated as if they were my own! I currently work Monday through Thursday each week. I can still board dogs that are house trained and can wait 8 hours for a potty break on those days. Weekends are all freed up for nothing but fun and playtime. I have a fenced in yard with a small koi pond. The pups love watching the fish and chasing the frogs. The yard is wide open with lots of room to run and play. My house is very dog friendly, clean, and safe. I do have a 3 year old boxer female who is spayed. She is extremely dog friendly and sweet. I provide all dog bowls, treats, and lots of toys to play with.
“Celsei is amazing! She sent me so many photos and videos, as well as many updates. She relieved any anxiety i had about being away from my dogs for a week, i felt so comfortable knowing how well my dogs were being taken care of. I will definitely be boarding with her again”
“Nikole was a wonderful sitter for Max. She knew I was not comfortable leaving him because I have only left him with a relative before. She sent photos every day and it seemed like he made himself at home right away. I think Max really enjoyed himself and I think he is even more comfortable around other dogs now. Thank you Nikole for taking such good care of my baby!”
“Absolutely amazing, Kimberly and her husband were so personable and accommodating. They put us at ease leaving our little guy for days while we stayed nearby, as he wasn’t allowed where we were staying. Our pup loved them, and he was spoiled for sure. I would highly recommend entrusting your fur baby with Kimberly. I prayed before dropping him off, because this was my first time using Rover and our little guy is like another one of our children (literally refer to him as our son and our kids refer to him as brother). I prayed that God could give me a sign I was leaving him in good hands and when I pulled up was greeted by her husband and the upon speaking to him saw his cross necklace and all I could do was smile and breathe. They took such great care of him I was afraid he wasn’t going to want to come back, and if that is the only complaint I can find I would say I am blessed to have that problem. If we are ever in the area again, I wouldn’t hesitate to leave him under their care.”
“Absolutely wonderful with my two dogs; they were taken very good care of, and I got daily pupdates! She was very responsive and understanding to the times I needed to drop off/ pick up my dogs. I will most certainly be boarding my dogs here again when needed.”
“We love leaving Ruby with Derek & his family! He sends the best pictures of her playing with his son, and also of her cuddling up with all of them. We look forward to using him again in the future.”
About: Hi! I would love to get to know your pets and give them all of the cuddles <3 I have experience cat and dog sitting for family and friends. I have grown up with dogs my whole life! My family dogs have a special place in my heart <3 They are between the ages of 8yrs and 10yrs. So, I've gotten transitional experience into taking care of senior dogs. The littlest of the two was diagnosed as a diabetic 3 years ago. So, I am well versed in administering under-the-skin injections and oral medications. Currently, I only have one cat living with me. She is a domestic medium-hair, and just over a year old. Even though I adopted her last May, she still has so much kitten energy and keeps me on my toes. As a graduated senior, I am quickly approaching an open-schedule. I work with the university, but my shifts are incredibly flexible. Additionally, I make it a point to not work the weekends, so I have 100% availability. I have the pleasure to have a fenced in backyard in a quiet, residential neighborhood. Your pets will have quick access for potty breaks and outside play time. The B-line trail is also just behind our house, so we can plan for plenty of walks while in my care. My cat, Mali, is a fully indoor cat and on Revolution Plus. As of June 2025, she is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Cooper. Thomas has a love for pets, and treated mine like his own. He arranged a meet and greet, which put me and my dog at ease. I had never left him with anyone before, and seriously considered not making my trip because I was nervous about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know. After meeting Thomas, I was no longer worried, because it was obvious to me that my dog would get love and good care. Cooper had a blast there, especially with Thomas’ dog, Maple, and felt right at home from the get-go. I’m sure he misses them, and would love to meet up with them again some day!”
“Deborah’s dog and my dog, Pesto, got along so well! Deborah was so good with Pesto!! She got played with a lot, came back so sleepy!! Pesto was loved on well and very cared for! i would definitely recommend Deborah for anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Jenny and Freddie took care of our dog George while we were away for a week. When we came to pick him up, George didn't want to leave! They have a huge fenced yard, asked for instructions when we came over, and sent pictures every day. I hope they had a good experience with us because we definitely hope to use them again. George tends to be shy but he REALLY bonded with Jenny. You can tell they really care.”
“Haley did an incredible job with our puggle Winston. She wore him out walking him, and that elevated his spirits like no other! She also provided plenty of updates on his well-being, and I would go to Haley again for Winston. 5 gold stars and an A+ grade.”
“Gage was an incredible dog sitter! He was proactive, making sure our dog had everything she needed and stayed happy and comfortable. I really appreciated the regular updates with pictures and videos—it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I couldn’t recommend him more!”
“I recently boarded my dog at and couldn't be happier with the experience. They were attentive and took wonderful care of my furry friend. They were also very flexible with pick-up and drop-off times, which was a huge help with my busy schedule. My dog came home happy and well-rested. I highly recommend them to any pet owner!”

“I highly recommend Nora as a dog sitter! She has taken care of my dog, Copper, on two separate occasions, and both times she went above and beyond.

It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her again in the future!”

Katherine F.
“Katie is truly amazing with animals! She’s incredibly loving and gentle with our 14-month-old kitty cat, Mali — always cuddling with her, playing, and making sure she feels safe and adored. Katie has two dogs back home, Gracie and Luna, who absolutely adore her, and she treats them like her babies. She’s constantly feeding and petting the neighborhood cats, and she lights up every time she sees an animal. Her phone is filled with thousands of photos of her furry friends — each one loved like family. Katie is kind, reliable, and has a natural, heartfelt connection with animals. You can trust her completely to care for your pets as if they were her own.”
