“We are incredibly grateful for Kelly and the care she gave our hard‑of‑hearing, one‑eyed dog. She watched him for eight days over a holiday on very short notice, handled his twice‑daily medication, and showed genuine kindness throughout. Her photo updates kept us at ease, and it was clear she treated him like family. We truly appreciate her.”
“Gary was amazing! He took my boys on many walks and was great with active dogs. He truly takes the time to get to know each animal and it showed! It was wonderful knowing my boys were so well taken care of!”
“Tara was so accommodating when I reached out at the last minute to watch my dog. He loved being there-with the spacious fenced in backyard and lots of family time, it was a perfect situation for him. Tara sent lots of videos and photos during his stay so I knew he was having a great time. Would absolutely recommend Tara to someone looking for an alternative to a kennel.”
“I requested several nights within a week of needing a sitter and Patsy made everything very easy, from the meet and greet all the way to pick up. Leo had a great time! I would definitely use her again.”
“Ashley was a fantastic communicator and sent pupdates. I was very comfortable leaving Nova with her. They did so many fun activities. I highly recommend Ashley and would definitely go with her again.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and deep love for animals. I’ve trained my golden retriever for bird hunting, which highlights my ability to handle and train dogs with specific goals in mind. Growing up around English bulldogs has given me valuable insight into their unique care needs due to health complications. I’m also a strong communicator, ensuring clear and open connections with both pets and their owners. Above all, I’m at my best when I’m spending time with animals, and my genuine passion for their well-being drives me to provide the best care possible. My schedule is quite flexible, allowing me to offer weekend boarding and drop-in visits on most weekdays. I can accommodate various timings, whether you need morning or afternoon visits. I am a firm believer that a well exercised pup is a well behaved & happy pup. I spend much of my time with your pet either walking, playing fetch, or letting them run around with other dogs. If boarding, I live in a neighborhood with a wonderful trail system and park for your dog to explore. I have a 1.5 year old golden retriever who is very friendly and social! If your dog requires crating I can definitely accommodate this, my golden is crate trained as well. Additionally, if your dog has specific medical needs, I am both nurturing and attentive in providing the necessary care.
“Claire took amazing care of my dog, I couldn’t have felt more comfortable or happy with how it went. Lots of outdoor activity, hiking, walking, swimming, other dogs to play with. I picked up a very happy dog. 10/10 recommend.”
“Appreciated Olivia’s kindness and willingness to look after our (somewhat anxious) senior Schnauzer (for just over a 10 day span) - and all the personalized TLC she gave him. He was in good hands - and we received a picture with a message each day to journal his time away from us. Very grateful that we found her! :) Thank you Olivia!”
“Sarah is awesome! Clearly she loves animals you can tell just by her effort she puts forth. Our little Gracie didn't want to leave and when we arrived at Sarah's house, Gracie was excited to see her which is unusual since she isn't around other people or dogs that often. We will absolutely be using Sarah again should we need a sitter and she is available! Sarah took us on a short three day notice not ever have kept Gracie, and that meant a lot to our family. We are thankful for her and all she did, especially sending pictures and videos showing Gracie having fun with her dogs!”
“Olivia was wonderful! We have two dogs with VERY different personalities and she did a great job of making them feel both at home. It was wonderful knowing our boys were so well taken care of!”
About: i have many years of experience with household animals such as dogs and cats, as well as, any type of farm animals, equine, and livestock! i have grown up around animals and have always owned animals of my own. i have been doing animal care for as long as i can remember. it started as a “weekly chore” for me as a child and then as an adult became second nature. i am a traveler and adventurer and i know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby behind, i am here to help ensure your pet is loved regardless! we will take walks, have cuddles, eat treats, play with other pups, and just enjoy each others company! i am happy to fit your pets needs into my schedule at any time in order to ease your stress and make your pets comfortable! i will ensure your animals safety is my top priority. I will care for your animal just as i do for mine, ensuring plenty of love, safe care, and healthy accommodations!
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was eight years old, and being around them has always been one of my greatest joys. I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly believes our pets are family, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. My home is shared with Sadie, my sweet, social Lab/pit mix, who loves having canine friends around. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routines, quirks, and comfort level, so I take the time to help each guest feel safe and at home. I’m attentive, nurturing, dependable, and happiest in a house full of animals. Expect plenty of affection, playtime, walks, cozy places to relax, and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is being genuinely loved and cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to build my days around the animals in my care. I work part-time and also run my own wellness practice, which gives me the freedom to be selective about the boarding dates I accept and make sure I have plenty of time to devote to my four-legged guests. Daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, snuggles, and downtime are already a natural part of my routine with my own dog, Sadie. When I accept a boarding stay, I want your dog to be part of our everyday life—not simply a guest waiting for you to come home. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being will always come first in my home. I know how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I’ll follow your dog’s normal feeding, medication, exercise, and bedtime routines as closely as possible, and I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything else that might indicate they’re not feeling like themselves. Dogs will be supervised appropriately, kept secure on walks and outings, and given plenty of time to settle into their new surroundings. My own dog, Sadie, is friendly and social, and I want every dog who stays with us to feel safe, relaxed, and welcome. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away, because I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy and doing well. Most of all, I want my home to feel like a loving home away from home—not a kennel. Your dog will be cared for with patience, affection, respect, and lots of attention.
About: I’ve had personal owner experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and reactivity levels. My own dog was reactive to people and dogs before going through training. He passed a year ago and I’m hoping to help out other dog parents on here while also getting some much needed puppy time! I’m looking to get outside and love your dog like my own! I work part time, so I have a lot of extra time and flexibility in my schedule to walk or check in on your pets! I would give at least least 2 walks a day. I would offer other enrichment activities we can do at home, for example my dog always liked treats tied in a towel that he’d have to unravel. I would personalize anything to fit what the animal needs!
