About: I’ve had a puppy and a senior dog, I am great with all ages! Love them all the same! I have trained multiple puppies and taken care of multiple older dogs, I do have two of my own little dogs that are very friendly and love to play with other dogs! I’m home a lot and I have to take care of my two dogs so I am almost always home. They are my top priority! I have a big front and back yard as I live on 8 acres of land. We are not close to the road so no worries about that! I have plenty of room indoors for other dogs!
“Kailey is fantastic! She really cared about my kids and me for that matter! She washed and changed my sheets so I had a clean bed to crawl into when I got home. If you want someone who cares about your animals, Kailey's your girl!”

“Bradishia was great! She was calm when an unexpected issue arose and worked her way through it with assistance. She kept me informed and that eased my mind. No doubt, my pup was in good hands. I will most certainly be seeking her out when I need a sitter again. I would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I am a Veterinary Assistant who cares dearly for all animals health and safety. I have cared for animals all my life but recently entered the Veterinary Field. I love all sizes and all breeds of dogs, their happiness is my goal. I am a full time Veterinary Assistant and am always learning in growing in my career. I am available to pet sit on weekends and holidays. I can ensure your pets safety by always observing and watching them and never leaving them outside alone. Making sure they get all the lovings they would want and be cared for the way you wish they would be cared for.
“This was the second time we hired Ben to watch our pups. Once again, we were very pleased with how our pups were cared for. Ben was communicative while we were away, and our home was clean and tidy when we returned.”

“Laura was very attentive and sent lots of updates. Our first time using Rover and we were definitely a little nervous but she kept us updated every with everything. Winston is high strung and can be a bit much but enjoyed his time with Laura. Highly recommend her.”

“Vivian was a good communicator and worked through some issues with my younger pup well. She left the house in great shape and was eager to please. The girls were very happy when I got home. I would use her again.”
About: I provide a calm, safe, and structured environment where pets can truly relax and feel at home while you’re away. After many years working as a software engineer, I’m now retired and finally able to focus on something I’ve always loved — caring for animals. I’ve spent a lifetime around dogs, cats, and even chickens, and I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, they’ll receive patient, attentive care in a low-stress environment — not a crowded kennel or chaotic setting. At my home, pets enjoy a peaceful atmosphere, outdoor space, and even access to a private trail for safe, supervised walks and enrichment. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind, and to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for — just like family. Being retired allows me to dedicate a lot of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m home most of the day, so they are rarely left alone and can enjoy a calm, consistent environment. I naturally build my daily routine around their needs—regular feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest. I also adapt to each pet’s habits and energy level, whether they need more activity or a quieter pace. Because of my flexible schedule, I can provide close supervision and make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout their stay. I provide a safe, clean, and calm home environment where pets are always supervised and treated with care and respect. I take time at the beginning of each stay to understand your pet’s routine, habits, and any special instructions so I can keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. In my home, I ensure the space is secure and pet-friendly, with no access to anything unsafe. Pets have a comfortable area to rest, fresh water at all times, and a clean environment. I closely supervise interactions and never leave pets unattended in situations that could pose a risk. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully, and I monitor behavior to quickly notice any signs of stress or discomfort. If needed, I can separate pets to ensure everyone remains safe and relaxed. My goal is to create a trusted environment where pets feel at ease and owners feel confident that their pets are in good hands.
“Tony was great with my 3 large dogs. Came over the night before to meet them and go over my care instructions for them. He sent me pictures and updates throughout his stay at the house. My dogs seemed to love him. Highly recommend and would definitely use again!”

About: As a lifelong dog owner, I have hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs with different needs and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and giving extra attention to shy or senior pets. Friends and family rely on me because I’m dependable, gentle, and truly love animals. I’m currently a student taking online classes, so I’m home most of the day and able to give pets lots of attention, supervision, and care. I’m available daily, including weekends, and only leave for short errands when needed. I’ll always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. My home is clean, calm, and set up to be safe for pets. I have experience caring for multiple dogs, so I’m used to different energy levels and needs. I make sure everyone is supervised, sticks to their routine, and has a comfortable place to rest. I’m happy to crate if needed or follow any specific instructions you have.
About: Many years of experience caring for animals. I can administer meds and committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and stress-free environment your beloved pets. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I am available Mon _ Fri between 7AM and 6PM. If your pet needs care outside of those hours, I can consider it on a case by case basis. I have a friendly dog who would love to keep your furbaby company. Your pet will be love as if they are part of the family. Your wishes for care will be followed.
About: I treat every dog like they’re my own—paying attention to their personality, energy level, and what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m very patient and intuitive, whether that means keeping up with a high-energy pup or going slow with a more anxious or senior dog. I also prioritize clear communication, so you’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. I’m also a very active person and love long walks/runs. I’m currently employed full time, my hours are 7:30am-4:30pm Monday through Friday. I get an hour lunch everyday that will allow me to take your pup out, go for a walk, and/or just give cuddles. I’m free all days on Saturday and Sunday. I have a daughter who is 19 months old and lovesssss pups. If able, she would be with me on weekends but I understand some pets need more attention than others. My parents would be willing to watch her if your pet needs the extra care and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care—while also giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’m very respectful of your home and make sure everything stays clean and organized. I also pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and energy so I can adjust care to what they need, whether that’s more activity, patience, or just extra cuddles. I provide regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and confident that your pet is happy and in good hands.
About: Hey there! Im on par with crazy dog lady at this point❤️ I'm dedicated to taking care of your pet(s) and making sure that they have everything they need and are safe. I have four of my own and I would adopt more if my husband would win the lottery and buy us a dog farm lol. I do not mix my dogs with your pets to ensure safety of all puppers! I will care for your pet(s) just like I would any of mine. I don't have children, I have fur babies :-) My house has a large fenced backyard with trees and is just like being in the woods. I will follow the instructions you leave for me, feed them at the times that you request, and dispense any medication as instructed. I am great with communication and will absolutely send you pictures and updates throughout the day because Id want them as well! I work from home and my schedule is very flexible, so I will be able to check on the babies all day and play as needed. If I am coming to your home overnight, I will need access to wifi for work, that is mandatory. I would love to take care of and play with your furbabies; they’re family too. I have a fenced in backyard, but I can also leash walk your pets as needed. We also have a great nature trail within 5 minutes of my home for higher energy dogs.
