“Good people. They took great care of Wynn & communicated just the right amount while we were gone. He was relaxed and transitioned back home just fine. I will rebook in the future.”

About: 🐾 Your dog will get my full attention, love, and care while you’re away. Hi! I’ve had dogs my whole life and truly love caring for them. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I focus on making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for—whether that’s walks, playtime, or sticking to their normal routine. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so your dog will get lots of one-on-one attention in a calm, comfortable environment. I’m reliable, responsive, and will send regular updates with photos so you can feel completely at ease. I treat every dog like my own and would love to care for yours! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to connect and see if I’m a great fit for your pup. 🐶💛 Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m available most days of the week. I offer walks and pet sitting, and I’m flexible to meet your pet’s unique needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, comfortable environment. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time, along with plenty of supervision, playtime, and attention. I make sure each pet feels relaxed, happy, and well cared for throughout their stay.
“She is a dog lover and kept me updated on how my yorkie was during the week. Including pictures. This made things easier for me since it was our first time using Rover. Would recommend.”

“Karrla overflows with love and care for all her furry boarders. They are welcome on the couch and bed to cuddle with her. She accommodates feeding needs and makes adjustments to help dogs feel comfortable away from their families. Karrla sent me daily comments and a variety of pictures of my dog Buddy. I saw that he was eating, playing outside, interacting or resting with the other dogs. I appreciate her conscientious care of Buddy and will definitely use Karrla again for boarding.”

“This was our 2nd time using Kay. She cared for our dog like he was her own. I know he had a great stay as he didn’t have his “anxious” whine on the way home as he’s had other places. Kay will definitely be our go to sitter for now on!”

“Communications were great! We had an initial meet and greet at a nearby park. Kona only stayed one night but Bianca sent several updates with photos. Our girl looked happy and content.”

“It was a great experience, my first time using Rover, Christy was always updating daily on my puppy Johnny. Communication was great which gave me a peace of mind. Will use her next time”

“My dog seemed happy with them when I picked them up. Stephanie and Paul provided me with updates and pictures. I know my dogs can be a lot to handle and they did a good job I appreciate them”

“Our Duke had a great time at Brittney’s house. She sent me pictures how he was playing with her dog until they were exhausted! 😄 However, it was only for one night but I would recommend her. She loves what she does! 🐾”

“Cody S was really nice and very patient with Jack...Cody really understands canine behavior and taught me a few things about my own dog… He kept me updated with photos of Jack everyday..I would give Cody 100 stars if I could..”

“I can't say enough good things about Harriet. She is AMAZING!! we left our fur baby with her and her family for 10 days. Even though I missed him I NEVER worried about him knowing he was in good hands and well taken care of. She sent pics and videos everyday. Please use Harriet for your fur baby. She is absolutely wondfeful!”

“Emily is a great host, and Myla had an excellent time during her stay. She came back happy and healthy. Emily sent photos to ensure I could see how she was doing while I was away. Thank you so much Emily!”


“Kirsten is the best sitter ever! She absolutely loves everyone’s pets and treats them like her own! She makes sure they have all their needs taken care of while in her care. We are very grateful to have such a wonderful sitter for our pet! He loves staying with this family because he’s given all the love he deserves and that makes him so happy 😁!”

“Laura is the Best!! She kept our two doodles when we left for vocation and the dogs where sad to come home. They got lots of walks and snuggles! Will definitely be using her again soon!”


“Excellent communication. My dogs were happy when I picked them up. I was nervous to leave my dogs b cause I never had left them before this past weekend. I felt very secure leaving Buddy and Louie with Ashley and Tyler. Will definitely be rebooking, I won't even consider leavingy pets with anyone else!”

“Tiffany was amazing! Less than 8 hours before our flight departed we went to drop our Goose off and the other sitter had another dog she was watching that had attacked goose and neither her or us felt safe with goose staying there for the safety of all the dogs. Tiffany was amazing and within 5 minutes responded that she would be able to help us out and she was amazing. Got adorable pictures daily and she took such good care of him including baths after some play in the mud! If you need a sitter you won’t find a better one!”

“Layne took great care of Amy! She was easy to communicate with and provided daily updates. She also seemed genuinely interested in accommodating Amy’s specific needs and tailoring her care accordingly. Glad we found her.”

About: I’ve had a lifelong passion for caring for animals and have grown up around pets from an early age. For the past 3 years, I’ve also cared for and trained my own dog, giving me hands-on experience with daily care routines, behavior management, and creating a safe, loving environment for pets. I’m currently on summer break from my role as a substitute teacher, which allows me to have a flexible and open schedule for pet care services. Aside from two previously scheduled trips this summer, I am available to provide reliable, attentive care and ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with a fully fenced backyard that allows for secure outdoor play and exercise. My home is shared with two friendly, well-socialized dogs who enjoy the company of other pets and help create a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere. I also have crates available if needed, whether for your pet’s established routine, comfort, training preferences, or safe rest time. My goal is to ensure every dog feels secure, cared for, and right at home during their stay.
“Taylor was wonderful and accommodating! She went the extra mile to make sure Nutella was well fed and well cared for. She even made her smell good, for the first time ever, with a bathing technique I will have to learn. Recommend high!”
