“I had a great experience with Morgan! She was straightforward, communicative, and knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable leaving my husky with her, as I knew she was in safe hands. 10/10 would book with her again!”

“My 6lb maltipoo Sophie LOVED puppy day care with Kelly. I recently moved and was nervous about finding the right care for Sophie. I initially booked one day with Kelly and immediately after the first day, booked the rest of the week! The communication throughout the days was fantastic and Sophie was so excited to return each day. It was very clear that Kelly is attentive to Sophie the entire day…. Walks, snacks, rest, playtime. Totally recommend Kelly! I will be a regular.”

About: I am a full time pet sitter with about 10 years of pet care experience caring for both dogs I’ve owned and other’s, there were various breeds and settings were I sought to their needs, both as an owner and trusted pet care provider. I’m currently available in the mornings as well as throughout the day on weekdays and weekends to care for your babies. I will be able to take them on walks, do check ins and overnight stays I have experience caring for various dog breeds like Weimaraners, Pitbulls, poodles, German shepherds, and so on. I have enjoyed helping bathe, feed and clean up after pets as needed over different periods of my life. Recently also helped a poodle with the delivery of 5 puppies!😊
“Danielle was so kind to accommodate us last minute for daycare. She asked plenty of questions to get familiar with my dog’s needs and was even willing to give him water from a plastic cup due to his pickiness. Looking forward to hopefully working with her again!”
“Cash had a blast. Thanks again for a wonderful last minute booking”
“Jessica was great with my cannon!!! She accommodated me at the last minute and my pup came home exhausted everyday from play. Definitely will be booking again!!! Thanks again!!!”
About: I have been caring for dogs for myself, family and friends for more than 35 years. I am currently retired, so I have lots of time to spend with your pets. I have two dogs of my own - mini poodle and mini golden doodle - who are my babies. I will treat your pets just as I would my own, plenty of play, cuddles and belly rubs. I volunteer with a lost animal resource group, helping reunite pets and their families. I can also work with your dog on basic commands and administer oral and topical medications. I have a large fenced in yard for them to run in. I am currently retired and my schedule is free, so I can accommodate your schedule from morning to evening. I am available Monday through Friday and weekends. I am able to take your dog on a walk in the neighborhood, or I can let them out in the yard if it is fenced. I can feed and give medications if that is necessary. I am reliable and dependable and love being with animals. Whatever your pet needs, I will follow your instructions and provide the best possible care for them. If your dog is staying with me, they will be able to enjoy a fenced in .75 acre yard. They will need to meet my two dogs, so a meet and greet is needed to ensure they get along.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. What sets me apart is my calm, attentive nature and my ability to quickly build trust with pets and their owners. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means sticking to a strict routine, giving medication, or just offering extra playtime and cuddles. I also have experience with crate training, leash walking, and managing multiple pets at once. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family, and I always aim to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while you’re away. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and have made a regular part of my weekly routine. I have open availability on weekdays, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to focus on your pet’s needs—whether it's for walks, drop-ins, or extended care. I’m also available on weekends, though availability may vary. If you’re looking for weekend care, just send me a quick private message to check my schedule. I’ll always do my best to accommodate you and ensure your pet is happy and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m lucky to have a dog park within my living area, which gives dogs a fun and secure space to play and socialize with others. We also have access to plenty of trails and walking paths nearby, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air during their stay. I follow any specific feeding routines, crate training practices, or other care instructions you provide—consistency is key to keeping your pet happy and stress-free. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I treat them like family and stick closely to the routines they’re used to.
“Anand was proactive in sharing updates/pics on a regular basis. Taco got along well with his pets Oreo and Pace. Definitely gonna trust him with my pet again.”
“Olivia was great! We were able to book with her on short notice, and she was incredibly flexible when we were late picking up our dog from her place. Our dog has separation anxiety, but he seemed great when we left him with her and her 2 dogs. They were fantastic hosts for our poodle, Monkey! We will definitely be brining him back to Olivia.”
