About: We're a family of six—myself, my husband, our three kids, and our Great Dane, Indigo. We take only one booking at a time so your dog gets our undivided attention and care. Our home is never empty. My husband works from home daily, and our kids are lifelong dog lovers. Indigo is well-loved and spoiled, but she's truly longing for a playmate to chase around our fenced backyard. Mornings and evenings are for short, leisurely walks, while lunchtime calls for a longer jog. Being a mom of four—Indigo included—I bring patience, calm, and attentiveness to every pet I watch. I love sticking to their routine, learning their favorite toy, their favorite spot, and all the little quirks that make them who they are. My husband and I have shared our home with both big and small dogs over the years, so we're comfortable with any size, energy level, or personality. For stays longer than five days, we kindly ask that you bring their bed and an old shirt to help them feel right at home. Until we meet your four-legged family member, know that they'll be treated like one of our own. Morning walks, evening walks, and plenty of play in between. We follow your dog's routine so they feel right at home. Let us know what makes them happy. They'll have free run of our home and a warm spot to sleep at night. We've got a fenced yard and a park down the street. We do everything with them just like you would on a normal day.
“Mohita was really a very compassionate detail oriented sitter. Romeo had the best time as he had coco to play with Mohita family treated him as family. He felt he was at home. We had a worry free vacation as Mohita kept us updated on Romeo with pictures and how he was doing with his diet and other activities. Overall we can’t expect anything more from Mohita and family.”
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors dogs and cats for years! I have pets of my own and am always willing to care for friends or family animals when they are out of town or in need. I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to help care for your animals! I am mostly available Friday, Saturday, and Sundays. I am always willing to play with your animals and take them on walks! I also do well with catering to specific needs that your animal may have.
“Pearl is the best!! She sent me so many updates on how my pup was doing and was so accommodating to my pups needs!! I was nervous leaving her at 4 months for the first time but Pearl eased the nerves and my puppy had the best time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!”
“Meg and her family were everything that we were looking for for our dearest Pinji! A loving family home with a fenced yard, a fellow doggie(Jameson & Pinji almost looked like twins!! 💕) their daughter Kensie who's a cutie pie and just like our home, treating Pinji as a family member and allowing her everywhere and even sleeping on her bed with her! This was above and beyond what we were looking for and we're so happy that we found them! God Bless this family forever 🙏🏻💖💞”
About: I’ve been caring for and raising dogs since I was 14, so I have years of hands-on experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Over the years, I’ve had a Pug, a Pomeranian, and I currently have a Golden Retriever, which has given me experience with everything from smaller companion breeds to larger, more active dogs. I understand that every dog has their own routine, comfort level, and personality. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, basic routines, or just giving them plenty of attention and companionship, I treat every dog like I would my own. I work full-time but I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention without pets being left alone for long periods. My schedule is flexible on both weekdays and weekends, so I can easily make pet care part of my daily routine and adjust around each pet’s specific needs and schedule. I treat every pet as I would my own, with plenty of care, attention, and patience. I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions provided by the owner. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their own home, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and companionship so they feel at home while their owner is away.
“Meena & her husband took very good care of our 8 month old pup. She was updating us with messages and pictures throughout the day and went out of her way to care for him. We were at peace of mind seeing the pictures & updates throughout his stay. Highly recommend her!”
“Anna and Zilin were very communicative and Charlie had a great time at their home! They sent us plenty of pictures and we could immediately tell our pup was comfortable staying with them!”

She made sure to send pictures and videos throughout the stay and kept me updated on how he was doing. My dog sometimes gets anxious around new faces but she made sure to give him treats, take him outside, and play with him to make sure he felt comfortable with her and her daughter. He looked like he was having a great time. I will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Kristen was wonderful! You can tell right off the bat how much she loves and knows dogs. I felt 100% comfortable leaving my pup in her care. She’s extremely responsive and sends pics and videos. My dog had a lot of fun playing with her dog Cashew and her adorable son. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Kristen in the future!”

I had an amazing experience with Savi. She took wonderful care of my dog, treated him with genuine love, and made him feel completely at home. Her communication was always timely and thoughtful, and her friendly nature made the whole process stress‑free. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a truly caring pet sitter.
I cannot rave enough about Jessica! She gave my Trixie a home away from home. My dog suffers with separation anxiety and is a rescue we adopted only a year ago. The entire time Jessica was responsive sending pictures and videos keeping updates on how she was doing. After just a day Trixie was bopping around and cuddled up next to her. I was able to rest assured that my dog was in good hands and able to enjoy myself on my cruise. Jessica has that magic touch and must be a dog whisperer because Trixie is very hesitant to warm up to new people. She is Trixie's home away from home and is our go to girl!
