“Beth has quickly become my go-to sitter over the last year or 2. Molly loves to visit, she start yipping and gets excited as soon as we pull into her neighborhood. I always get timely updates and lots of pictures of a happy dog, who is then tired out once we get home because she had so much fun. Thanks again Beth, Buddy, Ruby, and Bug.”
“I was happy with Muddy's stay at Brian's. He has a ton of experience and it was clear Muddy was in excellent hands. The communication was great, and I definitely would recommend Brian!”
“Faith & her hubby were wonderful. My girl has really bad anxiety so I was extremely nervous leaving her with someone we didn’t know, for the first time ever (our typical sitter, her other family, was on vacation the same week as us). It was emotionally rough dropping her off, but Faith sent pics twice a day & really helped ease MY anxiety. I would definitely use Faith again…plus she had a good flow of dogs coming/going so I know Faith’s well-loved by many! My mom also left her dog there the same week. Her dog is a lot more social & made tons of new friends!”
“Amber and her husband were great about giving me updates on Carroll’s sleep and eating habits over the two days. That was appreciated and he looked happy in his vacation home.”
“Ryder had his first overnight stay with these wonderful humans and he loved it. Ryder is a regular with Janel, her husband and their two doggies and he always runs up to greet his second family whenever we arrive. Ryder is our first ever puppy and so we were naturally worried about doing everything right, including socializing our puppy and making sure we can leave him with others for the day or overnight when we can’t have him along. With Janel, our puppy is in good hands. Highly recommend!!!!”
“We needed an emergency sitting since our previous solution couldn't address our needs at the last minute. In comes Megan to the rescue! She could not be more pleasant and while our dog isn't necessarily comfortable with strangers, he warmed up to Megan and they were best buddies by the time we picked him up. Would definitely recommend and use her again.”
“My dogs were happy and content when we arrived to pick them up. Jessica sent us pictures and they seemed perfectly relaxed . She was able to fit us in for the last minute call and I was very grateful. We will definitely contact Jessica , the next time we head out of town .”
“Crystal and Jadon are the best! Our dog Ruby just spent a week with them while we were on vacation. Crystal was in touch with us every day sending pictures and videos and letting us know how she was doing. Ruby had so much fun at their house! We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was being cared for so well. We would definitely recommend Crystal and Jadon!!”
“We are extremely pleased with the care Hailey provided for my dog, Milo. She was attentive, and you could tell she genuinely cared about his well-being. Milo seemed happy and well-looked after when I picked him up. Hailey kept us updated throughout with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind. The place was clean, and Milo had plenty of space to play. I would highly recommend Hailey for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Michelle was so incredibly wonderful, I honestly feel like I have hit the jackpot with finding her and her husband. My Griff was so happy he didn't even realize I was done. Hands down best experience I have had thus far! Will be a repeat customer!”
About: I have hands-on experience raising and training three dogs of my own, currently aged 2, 3, and 4. I’ve cared for them since they were puppies, handling everything from basic obedience training to daily walks, feeding, grooming, and socialization. I’m a nursing student home for the summer and looking for a fun, active way to earn extra income. I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood or some playtime in the yard, your pup will be in good hands! Your pup will be cared for in a safe, loving environment at my home, which has a fully fenced-in yard perfect for play and exercise. Dogs are always supervised and treated like family whether we’re enjoying outdoor time or relaxing inside, your dog will feel right at home.
About: I have watched multiple types of dogs including: shih tzu, Yorkies, Pomeranian, lab, poodles, redbones, border collie, boxers, pit bulls, jack Russells, and Chihuahuas. I have bathed, cut hair/ nails, brushed, and given medicine to many dogs. I have fed, watered, walked, ran, and scratched dogs. I have kept multiple dogs overnight, during the day and in the evening. I have taken dogs to the vet, let them out periodically, and just stopped by to give them some attention also! In the end, I really truly do love all dogs and I just want to give them the love and attention they deserve. I have availability through out most evenings from 4pm - 11pm. I could also do some earlier in the morning for a couple hours with enough notice. Weekends I’m fully free. I can also do overnight and then morning drop offs if needed. Or I could keep them at my house during the day and stop by a few times to let them out (I’m right next door)! I will give them food / water / medicine when directed. I will give them treats when deserved or directed. I will take them on walks, play with them, and let them out periodically to use the bathroom. I will give them lots of cuddles and scratches if that’s something they are interested in!
About: Hello! I’ve had a dog through my entire life. I have experience with puppies as well as elderly dogs. I also am experience in handling deaf and blind dogs, as my dog has these impairments. I currently work full time while in law school part time. I am available after 4:00pm on weekdays. On the weekends, I can be flexible. Just shoot me a message! I have one small dog who is house trained. We take her for walks around our neighborhood or leash her in the yard. She will remain away from any animals that I would be caring for as she is a very old girl.

They deserve respect and love just like us. Your animal will be taken very well care of. I can take your pups on walks and make sure they get the exercise they need !
About: I’ve taken care of cats for a year but I also had a cat growing up. When I did have 2 cats they were my world. I enjoyed every minute when I had them. I’m very passionate about caring for cats. I was working full time at the hospital but I’m free every day Monday-Friday until I get the job that I want but after I get that job I’m still available I don’t have a fenced back yard but my neighbor is a pet friendly environment. I’m near a park that is safe for animals as well.
“Megan took such great care of our dog Finn! She sent daily photos and updates, and took him for walks every day. She showed him so much love and genuine care. We felt so comfortable leaving him with her and her family. Highly recommend!”
