About: I’ve always loved dogs; especially the BIG ones! I’ve had every kind of pet throughout my life from ducks to mice! My home is set up just for dogs right now as I have one of my own with a large 10,000 sq ft fenced in yard! I am a stay at home mom so I will always be with your dog & usually have open availability. Your dog MUST be friendly with kids! We have a 3 & 7 year old (who know how to care for dogs appropriately & will be watched at all times when with your dog) We play all day outside in the yard with our dog & her doggy friends! After when we’re tired, we’ll cuddle up on the couch & watch a movie then go for a walk! I have a large 10,000 sq ft fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood with my own large dog. Covered porch with a dog igloo for fun! Plenty of space I am strong being a larger woman so you can definitely feel at ease; I know I’m alpha with big dogs as I have a Dutch Shepherd who is very sweet & cuddly with small dogs & will play all day with large dogs that can play back. She knows when to take space. Dogs are people here where they can be on the couch.
“Gary is a wonderful dog sitter. The girls went on hikes with him and we got peace of mind as he sent us daily updates and photos of their stay. We will definitely book again!”
“Pluto LOVED staying with Marie. She sent many photos and kept me updated on Plutos stay. He was cuddled up in most of the photos and had the best time playing with Marie and her husband. Pluto got so much love and lots of treats during his stay. Pluto will be back to see Marie again soon!!”
“We were in a tough spot when our original dog sitter canceled the night before we were supposed to leave for the holidays due to illness. Jessica came to the rescue by accepting our last-minute request. From the start, she was upfront and transparent about her situation. She was already watching another dog that wasn’t comfortable around other dogs. She had a well-thought-out plan in place to keep the dogs separated, which gave us complete peace of mind. Jessica was highly communicative, keeping us updated with pictures and videos of Apollo throughout the stay. Her attentiveness, reliability, and thoughtful approach made the entire experience stress-free. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she watches, and we’re so grateful for her help.”
About: What sets me apart from other dog and cat sitters is my personalized approach and deep love for animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and safe. With a strong background in pet care and a genuine passion for animals, I provide reliable, attentive service that keeps both pets and owners at ease. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry friends are in expert hands while you’re away. Pet care is a core part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize offering flexible care, especially on weekends and holidays when many other sitters are unavailable. I understand that pets need attention and consistency, even during off hours. By providing services during these times, I ensure your pet receives reliable care when you need it most. Whether it’s a holiday getaway or a weekend trip, you can trust that your pet will be in safe, loving hands without interruption. In my home, I provide a safe, spacious environment with a fenced yard where pets can run, play, and explore freely. Your pet will enjoy plenty of exercise, fun, and one on one attention in a secure setting. Whether it's playtime outdoors or cozy relaxation indoors, I ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times.
“Savannah was very kind, she sent lots of photo updates, and was super flexible with us during our travels. She is our new go-to dog sitter for when we go away. Thanks Savannah!”
“Veru left me in Awe! I am extremely happy with her services and I must add that my dog was extremely happy as well! She sent me daily updates several times a day and even gave us cute little bags with her info on it which I loved! If you’re looking for someone to give your dog the same love and attention you do..she is def the one! Park visits several times a day so your dog will def get the excercise they need with Veru! Rebooking as we speak for our next trip! 10 ⭐️”
“Marissa was very responsive and sent photos frequently. With this being my first experience boarding, I felt at ease knowing my pup was well cared for. We'll definitely be back. Thanks!”
About: Booking weekends, nights, and holidays, fall and winter. My pet care services are open to everyone, regardless of race, background, or family makeup. I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid and have many years of experience walking and pet-sitting both cats and dogs. I’m a marathon runner and avid hiker, so I love keeping active pets happy and well-exercised. I truly love animals and treat every pet I care for with patience, kindness, and the same attention I’d give my own. I’m a local high school teacher with over 20 years of experience and an excellent reputation in the community, with references, contacts, and a social media presence. I’m available afternoons, evenings, weekends, summers, and school vacations. I keep my schedule manageable to ensure your pets receive my full attention and care. I have good communication skills. I have a fine mix of Catholic guilt and Boy Scout training to always do the right thing! I leave the campsite cleaner than I found it. I can take in mail, packages, and trash in and out. Everyone has different needs. Please reach out to me for a free meet and greet! Safety is always my top priority. I’m careful to ensure that dogs and cats do not slip out of the house or go off-leash. I also have a secure, fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. I’m easy to work with and happy to accommodate most special requests. When needed, I can administer medications in most situations and always follow your instructions closely.
“Tammy is truly a top notch fantastic sitter. She is really knowledgeable about dogs and behaviors and was so responsive and thoughtful. We were in a pinch looking for a sitter last minute, and felt totally at ease with Tammy watching over our boy. Would highly recommend!”
“Heath was terrific! Extremely caring and communicative throughout. My dog is slow to warm up to people, but she definitely warmed up to Heath! Very grateful, highly recommended!”
“David is always patience with my reminders and questions. He puts me at ease with leaving my two punky poodles with him and they absolutely love him. So grateful we found a sitter who cares for furbabies like his own. Thank you and will be rebooking again for sure!”
“Our dog, Noddle, is a cherished member of our family; Patricia treated him the same way. From the initial meeting, Patricia's genuine love of and experience with a variety of animals was obvious. Noodle took to her right away. From the photos including walks on the beach and playtime in addition to the messages she regularly sent us, we could tell that he was happy and pampered. We feel completely comfortable and enthusiastic recommending Patricia and will engage her again. She is great. Lucky Noodle. Lucky us.”
“First time my dog had a multi-night stay with a dogsitter, and Jenni was wonderful with her!! My dog is sensitive and can get scared in new environments with new people and animals, but Jenni made sure she was comfortable and well cared for. Jenni was patient and kind with her, and Jenni's dog, Ripley, was amazing with my dog to give her the personal space that she needed. I highly recommend them, and I can't thank them enough for taking such good care of my furbaby!!”
“Excellent sitter! Marcia sent daily updates as well as photos and videos of Adeline on hikes with her family. Marcia came highly recommended by a friend and 10/10 would trust my Adi in her care again.”
“Kat was very responsive, took great care of my rambunctious golden retriever. She and her husband are very warm folks who treat your dog like their own. Will definitely be having Quay over to their place again!”
“Mae took excellent care of our dog during an overnight stay. She truly prioritizes the animal’s well-being, and has outstanding communication with the owners. I would highly recommend her and will look to book with her again!”
“Thank you, Zach, and your family for always taking care of Pinot. I appreciate the communication and flexibility. Always at ease knowing Pinot is well taken care of by good people!”

Bailey absolutely loved spending the weekend with Anely and her family! Anely was incredibly sweet, wonderful, and accommodating, especially with our last-minute booking. She was always prompt with her responses, and we loved receiving photos and updates while our fur baby was in her care. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be using her services again! 🐾❤️
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Daniel! He was wonderful with our Eliza, but what really stood out was his incredibly thoughtful communication. We could tell he cared about making her stay full of love, care and belly rubs. His updates with photos made being away so much easier, and we picked up our girl knowing she was in excellent hands. Highly recommend!
I can’t recommend Elba enough! I needed someone to watch my Pudding last minute while I was dealing with some personal issues, and she stepped up without hesitation. From the very beginning, she made me feel comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She sent me pictures of him playing, having fun, and enjoying himself every single day, which meant so much to me. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him as if he were her own. Finding someone you can trust with your fur baby isn’t always easy, but Elba made the entire experience stress-free. I’m so grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and the love she showed Pudding. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, I highly recommend her! ❤️
Rachel has cared for my cat several times and is always my first choice when I need someone to care for my cat. She is communicative, dependable, thoughtful, and I love getting pictures and updates while I’m away. Most importantly, Rachel is wonderful with my cat! I always feel completely comfortable knowing my cat is in Rachel’s care. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a fantastic cat sitter!
We can’t say enough good things about Eliza! She took Marvin in with such short notice, it was impressive. The handoff was super easy and Eliza was very communicative; sharing photos and videos of Marvin. These were great action shots! Not only that, but she was very flexible when plans changed due to a flight change. We highly recommend her and will be bringing Marvin back whenever we need a sitter!
She was great with my cat! My cat can be a little shy and doesn’t warm up to new people easily, but she was very patient and gave her the space she needed. I really appreciated how understanding and gentle she was. It was reassuring knowing my cat was in good hands. Would definitely recommend her! ❤️
Remi spent 2 nights with Kae and her family—the first time my 2-year-old pup stayed overnight with anyone. He had a great time! How do I know? He was in her arms when she opened the door. Glad to see me but not frantic to get at me. Content. Bright-eyed. Will definitely ask again if he can stay with Kae. Thank you!!
