Wolf was amazing! We booked last minute and had some changes in our itinerary, but was still very according. Romeo was so happy when he got back from his walk with Wolf. Will be booking again! Thank you!

Breanna is the absolute best. She has been essential in potty/leash training our puppy (tough with our work schedules!) and is vigilant with consistency in training commands—so important for a little pup! Our fur baby could not love her more!

About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for over 20 years and truly enjoy being around them. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with different personalities — from energetic pups to more anxious or senior pets. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and boarding in my home. I do have a cat, and he is used to being around dogs, but I always prioritize safety and comfort for everyone. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and structure my schedule intentionally, so I’m able to provide consistent walks, feeding times, and attention throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins, and when boarding, pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I value routine and make sure each pet’s normal schedule is maintained to help them feel comfortable and secure. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with my son (7 YO) and our cat, Toto. While our backyard is not fenced, dogs are always leashed for outdoor time and walks. We have great sidewalks and a quiet area that’s ideal for daily exercise. Inside the home, I provide a calm and supervised environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s comfort level and always prioritize safety, clear communication with owners, and following specific care instructions. I’m also happy to schedule meet-and-greets beforehand to ensure everyone feels confident.

About: My husband and I have been pet sitting for a couple years, we have experiences with both large and small dogs, we have a super friendly corgi who would love to make new furiends. We also have two black cats that does really well with meeting new pets, ink is a senior cat that’s really laid back and just sleeps all the time, boba is a very playful kitty that loves zooming around and fetch, they would love to have new playmates! If you need any training during the stay, we can help with that, as well as bathe your pets if needed. We can also easily crate your dog(s) at home if preferred. We’re both freelancers, so our schedule is very flexible, we usually work around the afternoon time, if we’re both out of the house, it won’t be more than 2 hours. We have a super friendly corgi to keep your fur baby company, while we don’t have a fenced in yard, we have a very big front & side yard that they can hang out and play on, we also take 2 walks a day at least, if the weather is nice we can do 3, or however much the dog desires.

About: I’ve always had a dog while growing up and have a true love for them! I may not have any pets of my own at the moment but I treat each dog as such. Since I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life I know the kind of love, attention and care they need and ensure to provide all of those traits for this I’m in the process of getting my real estate license so I’m currently working part time mostly at nights, which leaves my mornings and afternoons pretty available to check in/walk your dogs! My current place does not allow me to have pets, but from having my own dogs growing up I know the kind of care it takes to handle a dog in your own home! I would treat both your home and dogs with respect and give your dog the love you need for the time being

Siri is great! We did a meet and greet ahead of time and from the moment my dog met her, it was easy to see she understands and cares for animals. My dog can be shy with new people, but Siri has this calm confidence, and they connected immediately. Every walk was on time, with detailed updates and photos that gave me peace of mind knowing he was getting good care and happy. It’s good day when you find someone who treats your pet like their own, Siri is one of those special people. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and competent person to care for your pet.
