Madison was so good to my pups. She stayed in touch and sent pictures of them throughout their stay. I recommend Madison for your furry family members.

Jennifer was great with my little buddy ‘Valentine’. She shared photos throughout his stay and sent him home with a bag of bacon strips. (A bag he chewed through later that night to indulge himself - caught him with a strip hanging out his mouth!!🤪)

Ashley is an awesome sitter! She sends wonderful pictures, so we know how our furbabby is doing. And we don't have to worry. Ashley is very easy to communicate with, and understanding! We have used her multiple times, and would recommend her to anyone!

Some people you just know you can trust early on when you meet them and Ramona is one of those people. She asks the questions you expect an experienced sitter to ask and has a safe and comfortable place for your pooch to stay.

Ben did an outstanding job taking care of my little 15 year old miniature Doberman. He provided scrappy with many walks and sent many pictures and videos to keep me updated on how scrappy was doing. I would definitely recommend letting Ben watch your fur babies, as he is very accommodating and understanding with any of your pet needs.

Jessica was fantastic with our two puppies. Took extra care to make sure our more apprehensive puppy was comfortable with his new home away from home!! Provided meaningful updates so that we didn't have to worry about our dogs. Allowed us to choose whether we wanted our dogs kenneled. Overall very positive experience and would allow Jessica to watch our dogs again without any hesitation!

About: I’ve had multiple animals living with me my entire life. At one point I had dogs, cats, birds and ferrets living with me all at once. I’ve always had dogs and cats around me. I recently moved and have no animals. Figured I’d fill the time with some nice pets that need attention while there owner is on break. Experienced Pet Sitter – Dependable Care You Can Trust I provide professional, attentive pet-sitting services tailored to your animal’s needs. Services include feeding, exercise, litter or cage cleaning, medication, visits and regular photo updates so you stay connected. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments and prioritize enjoyment, relaxation, and routine. Fully reliable, punctual, and committed to excellent care. I’m very professional. I spent 5 years in the US military, 5 years in college and 10 years as a security officer. I have a apartment with a small back area and several parks nearby my home as well as walking trails.

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From walking neighborhood dogs as a teen to working alongside vets overseas, I’ve spent years understanding and respecting what our four-legged friends need to thrive—not just survive the day. I’m Pet First Aid & CPR certified and have experience with everything from playful puppies to senior dogs needing a gentler touch. Safety and comfort are always top priorities. What truly sets me apart is the environment I’ve created. I have a dedicated, secure space just for dogs—with separate fenced areas for different sizes and temperaments. I don’t just offer “watching”—I offer enrichment, structure, and connection tailored to each pup’s needs. I offer structured walks daycare and boarding on weekends and Mondays while I built my full-time business for dog enrichment and adventure outing with our 4 legged friends. Safety and trust are at the heart of everything I do. At my home, dogs enjoy a peaceful, secure environment with a fully fenced 5-foot yard in a quiet, remote setting. The fence is privacy-screened for a low-stimulation, low-stress atmosphere where dogs can relax and be themselves. Inside, I offer a climate-controlled space with both crate options and free areas, depending on your dog’s comfort level and needs. There’s also a designated playground space for fun, structured activity and enrichment time. Your dog won’t be alone—my own dog Olli, a calm and friendly Bernese Mountain Dog, acts as the gentle greeter and companion for pups who enjoy company. He’s well-socialized, laid-back, and a natural at making new dogs feel safe and welcome. Whether your dog loves to play or prefers a quiet spot to chill, I create a personalized experience that feels like a home away from home.

I can’t recommend Acey enough! She took care of my 4-month-old Cavalier King Charles, Emmett, for 11 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Throughout his stay, she provided regular updates and photos. Emmett came home happy and well-cared for, showing how much attention and love he received. She was professional and showed genuine affection for my puppy. I will definitely be booking her again!

About: I've taken care of different breeds & size dogs for 6 years now. I love animals & want to help take care of them. I have taken care of puppies, senior dogs, & ages in between. I work full time at my job. Weekends are best for me, but I can stay somewhere during the week, as long as it's not too far from my work. I also can go during my lunch to let dogs out to potty &/or check on them, as long as it's not too far from my work. I have a semi fenced in back yard. I have one dog outside & he has come inside sometimes, but hes not completelyhouse trained & I have one cat inside. They are both around 3 years old.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals ranging from dogs, cats, chickens, and lizards! We’ve had animals in my own family for as long as i can remember we currently have a dog and chickens and maybe cows soon! I have a personal love for animals! If for some reason my dog Oliver doesn’t get along with your pet I live in a separated part of the house so it will be very easy for me to keep them out of contact. I’m currently working full time but i’m off most saturdays and mondays, and then just whenever else they do not schedule me! I’m very communicative and will work with you as best I can! I care for my own pets with love and care making sure they always have what they need and definitely things they want too lol! In others homes I would show them the same love as my own pets and follow whatever instructions left to a T.

Great location near town and my dogs liked her dogs. I loved getting pictures of them bc I missed them, so it was good to see them playing. Candiss gave them a bath and met us in town to pick them up which helped us a lot traveling home. Will use her again!
