About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and truly enjoy caring for them as if they were my own. I’m a responsible, patient, and attentive person who understands how important it is for pet parents to feel at ease while they’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and loved. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I’m comfortable following specific routines or instructions. I will treat your pet with love, respect, and care—just like family. 🐾💛 I’m also very communicative and will send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel connected and worry-free. I work from home running my small business, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. The only times I step out are briefly to drop off and pick up my daughter from school. Because of this, your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and walks, with a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet will feel at home. I always prioritize their comfort and well-being, following any specific routines, feeding schedules, or instructions you provide. I supervise pets closely, keep a clean and secure space, and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for at all times. I’m also happy to send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your pet will be treated with the same love and attention as my own. 🐾💛
“Ellysia is the best! My pups had the greatest time with her and her family. Updated daily with pictures and activities. We will definitely be using her again and recommend her hands down.”
“Very professional and practical. The communication was punctual and timely. I was very pleased to see our dog having such a lovely time during my time away. Highly recommend Anita for your Rover needs.”
“Thank you Kayce and Matt for watching Charleyboy :o) he loved your fenced yard and playing with Bebop. Your Mom said Charley would only eat if she sat with him, he is a picky eater, thank you again.”
“Abby was accommodating for a meet and greet, which I greatly appreciated; Oliver gets scared when I drop her off to stay with a stranger. Abby provided daily pictures and updates on how Oliver was doing and she came back very happy. I would use Abby again to pet sit.”
“Dylan and Alex were amazing! They took excellent care of our pup while we’re were out of town for a week. We got daily updates and pictures and any question we had was answered within minutes. Will definitely book with this sitter again and highly recommend.”
“Amy and Grant are wonderful. They were welcoming and flexible with Ollie’s needs, especially as their own pup was recovering from an injury. They have a nice big yard for play, communicated regularly, and it was obvious they cared to make Ollie’s stay comfortable for him and their family.”
“Kelsey is very flexible and responsive. My dog looked sad to leave! Oddly enough, we are excited to drop our dog off for our next vacation because we knot she'll have a great time. We highly recommend Kelsey!”
“We left our doggie with Ari while traveling for two weeks and we couldn't have asked for anyone better to look after him. Our special boy is a senior Schnoodle that we rescued last year from a breeder situation gone really bad. Ari and her family welcomed him with open arms and treated him like he was one of the family. She sent daily updates and we thought our boy may not want to come home after seeing how much fun he was having in the photos. Also, he made a new best friend with the family dog Apollo. I would recommend Ari to anyone that is looking for a home-away-from home for their fur babies.”
“Kendra is the best! Yasha loves her and Gizmo and lights up whenever I tell her she is going to see them. She is personable and treats my baby like her own!”
“Could not speak more highly of her! Took excellent care of my pets and even took one to the emergency vet when she broke a tooth (known rock chewer). Would not trust anyone else”
“Marshmallow had an amazing time! He didn’t want to leave when we came to get him. He was very tired when we got home and was the quietness he’s been, which is saying something for a 4 month old puppy!! Will definitely be coming back soon.”
“Christine and Nick once again provided excellent care for my dog while we were on a trip. They were flexible with changes in schedule, provided frequent pics and updates about Mae, and are friendly and responsive.”
“Wow!! Could not be any happier. Miss Kim went “above & beyond” in every aspect of caring for our 8 Mo old Basset for a week. She is a true dog whisperer. Gave us some good advice as well due to her experience. Will definitely look her up in the future. Mac was super happy, super clean and had a great week. We used a kennel in the past and it didn’t work out so well. Thank you so very much.”
“Madelyn took excellent care of my dog Link and provided me with consistent updates so that I knew he was in good hands. I chose her to board him while I was away for the holidays, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to do the same. I could tell he was treated as if she was his own. Thank you!”
“Cameron absolutely loved his stay at Allejah’s home. She stayed in close contact with us and gave Cameron the best possible care. We are so thankful to have found her!”
“Jeanette responded to our request right away in such a short notice. She happily took care of our 2 pitties for the weekend and even took them on a field trip! Will definitely book her again 💞”
