About: I have taken care of many dogs over the years & have loved every minute of it!! I treat every dog like they are my own. I love to play, cuddle, & bond with each one. It is a special time at my home. I currently stay home so I have plenty of time to play and bond with each dog and give them the quality care they need. I have a nice size fenced in yard that dogs can run around & I can play fetch with them. If at all they need to be in a crate for their safety I can do that as well.

About: - Always home to keep an eye on your pet - Large fenced in backyard for exercise - Able to keep pets separated within the house if need be - Experience with administrating medicine - Plenty of toys and things to do in and outside of home We are a couple with plenty of availability for your pet. We both work from home with very flexible schedules and always have the weekends off. We have 2 dogs of our own. They get plenty of exercise in our backyard playing with one another or hunting for lizards. We watch them play inside as well when it’s too hot or rainy outside. They get snuggles and treats. We love connecting with animals as each one is different and we have the time and energy to do so.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since a young age. I’ve always been relied on to take good care of pets. I love being around all types of animals, and keeping them intrigued and happy. I’m currently in college and have a lot of free time on weekends so i’m available at any time throughout the weekend. Don’t be afraid to ask when! I’ll keep your dog exercised and I am an outside person myself so I do not mind staying outside for a while. I’ve played baseball my whole life so i don’t mind running em!

“I was very pleased with the job Dawn did. This was my first time going away in a few years and I also just lost one of my dogs a few weeks ago making harder to leave them. I appreciated the notes and pictures. I have a blind dog and I felt like he was in good hands. I would definitely use Dawn again.”


“Maggie was lovely, my dogs got sick right before I left and she took care of them , gave them the medication and was always on time. I am really grateful for her care and attention to all my instructions.”

“Megan was amazing with our pup. We had her stop by our home a few times a day to check on our 8 week old puppy. She was attentive, caring, and went about and behind to make sure our baby was well taken care of. She fed, played with and even bathed him when he had an accident in his crate. We could not be happier with the level of care she provided to Ares. I highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thank you Megan!”



About: Taking care of animals isn't a chore to me, it's a passion. I really do see the uniqueness in each dog or cat. Growing up I would pet sit for elderly and sick foster dogs with many special needs, it really impressed upon me the need these animals have for care and connection. Im separated from my own fur baby as he lives in Oregon with my parents, but he is special needs. Three times a day he needs eye drops administered to him and before I moved away I was the main administrator of his medications. Im happy to play with your dogs and their favorite toys if you'd like, and glad to spend extra time giving them snuggles and love. I really do love dogs and I can't wait to meet yours. I promise I'll care of your animals as if they were my own. I have class part time so I'll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet. Im usually available at 2:00 pm to start care during weekdays but my schedule is flexible, especially during the summer time. Overnights and mornings as needed. Whether I’m caring for my pets in my home or your pets in yours, I treat each animal with the same attention and love I’d give my own. I follow their routine closely—feeding, walking, playtime, and any medications—while keeping a watchful eye on their behavior and wellbeing. Under my supervision, pets enjoy a safe, clean, and comforting space with plenty of affection and engagement. I’m committed to providing consistent, reliable, and thoughtful care so every pet feels secure, happy, and well-cared for.

About: I have three girls that would love to give your dog some love and attention on the weekend We would treat your fur baby with love and compassion I currently only work part time and my three kids are in school all day so I have plenty of time during the day to play with your fur baby. I have a fenced yard and one energetic, playful dog who would love a play date. We like to take walks around the neighborhood and sometimes go to the local dog park.

Tracey B.
“I know only dog lovers will really know how much our fury friend actually mean to us. For our family, boarding our dogs is only an absolute worse case scenario. Finding the right person to watch your dogs while on vacation really does help you relax when you know your dogs are cared for. If we are out of town and Tracey is available, we don’t have a worry in the world. Tracey is a wonderful person and takes care of our dogs like they were hers. She is super intentional in making our dogs as comfortable as possible. She even tries to keep them as close to their normal routine as possible. We would recommend Tracey to anyone who loves their dogs as much as we do. After all, they are part of the family.”

Ursula C.
“Ursula petsat my dog for 2 weeks earlier this summer! The dog in question, Juniper, is very high maintenance but Ursula managed her care well. Ursula was able to follow instructions and make her food weekly, feed her twice a day, give her probiotics on schedule, and walk her early morning and afternoon. Ursula also kept up with her grooming needs and even brushed her teeth! Cannot recommend more!”
