About: I am a lover of all pets. Young and old, big and small. I can do walks, hikes. Even a play at the park. Your pooch will be pampered here. Experienced sitter. I am at home all the time. My husband works from home. All pets are loved all the day here. Me and my husband are grown up with dogs and we have our own sweet little fur daughter and want to get and share love to more fur babies. I have a fenced yard and a friendly trained dog to keep your baby company. My kids love fur. We walk, jog and can adapt as per your baby needs.

“Lindsay was amazing!! She did so many activities with my dog - they went to Petco, on a hike, got a Puppucino at Starbucks, and played doggie puzzles. She went above and beyond, I appreciate her giving so much of her time and attention to him! Will definitely be back!”

About: I am a Veterinary Technician and a Professional Dog Trainer with over 10 years of experience. With a degree in Animal Science and extensive hands-on experience, I understand that safety is the top priority for every pet owner. When your pet stays with us, they will not only be safe but will also have a fun and enriching experience. In addition to boarding, we offer professional Training and Grooming services tailored to each dog's needs. My husband works nights and is home during the day to provide expert care and supervision for your pets. As dedicated owners of show dogs, we take pet care seriously and strive to maintain the highest standards in every aspect of our services. Our property features two fully fenced yards for play and exercise. The first is a secure 6-foot chain link and privacy-fenced potty yard, measuring approximately 20 ft x 60 ft. The second is a spacious, fully fenced double lot with rolling hills and lush grass, providing the perfect environment for your pet to run, play, and explore. *Dogs in our care must be crate trained during down time & at night. When we are not at Dog Shows or Training we are at home with our dogs. My husband works nights which means your pets will be left alone minimally. We have 2 fully fenced in yards. A smaller yard with 6ft privacy fence and a large play yard with 4ft roller panels. We do offer medical boarding on a case by case basis at an additional rate.

“Kristin is THE best dog sitter we have ever met. My dogs start whining when we get on her street and as soon as we pull up to her house they bolt from the car straight to her door. When she has watched them overnight we get frequent pics and updates. We know they are always in great hands. She is the only dog sitter we recommended.”

“Molly is a great sitter and I 100% recommend her. Her house is very pet friendly and her children are respectful and kind toward the pet guests. Their family's dog is super sweet and got along just fine. The yard is perfect for the dogs to run around and play and sniff. If I could afford it I'd bring Chloe here more often just to get some "dog time".”

Laura W.

“Alaina responded quickly and sent us updates & pics. Our puppy was happy with her.”

Elaine P.

“Penny loves her time at Barbara's...playing and being so well cared for. I highly recommend Barbara.”

Dona F.

“Illie was so comfortable in Zadee’s home and warmed up fast, even for being a shy dog! She kept me updated throughout the stay and was so attentive to her needs. We highly recommend a stay with Zadee.”

About: I have had dogs all my life. I have taken care of every age of dog. I grew up wanting to be a veterinarian my entire childhood. I was even going to try and start the process, but then life happened and my plans had to change. My plans took me to being a stay at home mom to 3 kids who also love animals. While I am no professional, I love trying to help my dogs learn new tricks or commands. Once again not a professional, but I do all of my dogs grooming needs myself. I have clippers and a grinder for nails and all kinds of brushes. For the babies not afraid of vacuums I also have a pet grooming vacuum. I can brush bathe and clip dogs nails at the owners request. If you bring your own shampoo the bath will be at no cost to you. If you dont have any it will just be a small fee for me to use some that I have. I am able to give medications if need be. I can also follow special diet routines if necessary as long as you bring the supplies that are needed. I am a stay at home mom for our 3 kids so when your fur baby is in my care they will hardly ever have to be kenneled. Potty breaks can be as often as needed based on what they are used to at their actual home. Daily walks can be taken(depending on the weather). I would be delighted to care for your dog while you’re away! My home is shared with my husband, our three children, and two friendly dogs who love to play in our fenced yard. I also offer daily walks to keep your pup active and happy. I normally follow a two-meal schedule with my own dogs, but I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s usual routine. Since we also have a cat, it’s important that visiting dogs are comfortable around cats. My goal is to make your dog feel as happy and comfortable as possible while you’re gone. If there are any special routines or comforts that help your pup feel at ease, I’ll gladly accommodate them when I can. For higher-energy dogs, I even have experience biking with pups who enjoy an active workout.

About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals from a young age. Cat, dogs, small animals such as birds and hamsters. My love for animals came in childhood and I will offer the best care! I currently work a hybrid role with my company so I have time at home to take care of animals for those that are looking for the best options out there. I have a large yard and a neighborhood for walking. I have a fenced yard so outdoor playtime can be provided without worry. I have 1 cat in home and 2 children in the evenings to offer lots of play for family friendly dogs.

About: 🩷🦴The Pink Leash LLC🦴🩷 The friendly dog sitter for 10+ years now! Our pups name is Reef, we adopted him in March of 2024 on our honeymoon in Kauai, Hawaii! We do have a kitty cat as well, Millie! Growing up I was always surrounded by animals of all kinds, and I truly haven't met one I didn't love. I've had everything from Raccoons to Chinchillas and everything in-between. I am very comfortable around dogs, and am not afraid to interfere if ever needed, and I know the appropriate way of going about introductions, feeding times etc. I want your pups to feel safe, loved and get to have fun and play with my boy Reef! That's why I try to match your schedule/routine as much as possible! So please feel free to share your typical routine for your pups at home. I like to let dogs have individual playtimes, but I do often do open play especially outside when the weather is nice! I love to let the dogs play together, and get into trouble as a team LOL. If you are not comfortable with your pups being around other dogs (besides my pup Reef) please feel free to let me know at the time of booking so I can be sure I have a space setup for them & ready to respect your wishes! I have a space designated for pups with crates for those that are crate trained. I also have an extra bedroom with a futon and doggy beds for those that are not used to being in a crate, but may need to be secure while we are away. -- I will send updates & photos throughout the booking as well, as I know how hard it is to leave your babies! Since I'm home full-time, my pet care responsibilities are seamlessly woven into my day. I have a very consistent daily routine that ensures my pups get all the attention and exercise they need. My routine generally includes: Morning/Afternoon Fitness: Going to the gym, which often brackets a dedicated time for walking or playing with the dogs right before or after. Play and Interaction: I make sure to have several sessions throughout the day for playing either inside or outside (depending on the lovely weather). Plenty of Love: Above all, they get plenty of love and cuddles throughout the day! Being home allows me to keep a predictable schedule that suits their needs perfectly. I have a 6 foot wooden privacy fence that we inspect very frequently to ensure it's very secure! I also have cameras on the front and back of my home for extra security/peace of mind! Although I normally care for multiple pets at a time, they are NEVER left together unsupervised, however we do alot of supervised playtimes!! I have a 8 year old Pitbull/Catahoula named Reef! We adopted Reef in March of 2024 on our honeymoon in Kauai, Hawaii! We do have a kitty as well, Millie! Who will appear on occasion but she is so used to dogs at this point she pretty much ignores them! I’m open to dogs & kitties of any age! My husband and I have made a space in our basement designed around caring for your animals! Its the ideal space for those pups who tend to get anxious at night or when home alone and need to be in there crates. There is a Google Home in the room that is turned on with calming music to help them feel calm & comfortable! I have a camera in that room as well that detects any motion (people or pets) & sound and it alerts my phone directly! I can watch them on the live feed at any point as well! Its the perfect space if the weather is bad, or there are fireworks or any loud noises as it is very sound dampening. So please know your baby is safe & comfortable! That being said, they will not be kept in there crates 24/7. They will be allowed free roam of my home/yard and access to all the toys they could desire while we are home and can supervise! We love having everyone's pups over to play with & so does Reef! If you are not comfortable with your dog being out with others, please let me know at the time of booking! I am able to watch multiple pets in my home from the same family, or different families! Each pet can be secure in there little safe space crates (which I am able to provide so you do not have to bring yours!) I vacumn, wipe down, and disenfect every crate between pups to ensure everyone stays happy & healthy! Please know that I understand how hard it is to leave your babies, and I will do everything I can to make sure they are comfortable and content while they are with me!

“Thank you for taking wonderful care of Pippa & Chloe. They loved relaxing with you today!”

About: I have had my 2 dogs since they are 8 weeks old. I would be so happy to look after your babies. I have a fenced yard with protection from dogs getting out. I currently work from home more than 3 days a week and can change accordingly. I’m flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. Your babies will have 24/7 care and love with us. I have a fenced yard, a large dog crate, couple dog beds. I have one golden retriever and a Labrador retriever. They are very friendly and playful. We have giant water fountain and toys for dogs.

“Alvin goes to Beth’s 4-5 days a week. It’s been a few rough weeks for Alvin. He had surgery 10/1 and had a cone/collar for 12 days. She was great with keeping him from scratching but still be playful. He learned how to scoop the ball with the cone! We absolutely love the care he receives with Beth and her family!”

Jeanne O.

“I cannot recommend Melanie enough as a dog sitter! She took such wonderful care of my shy little Daisy, and I could tell right away that my pup fit in and felt safe in her care. Melanie’s pack of mini Aussies were perfect companions, and my dog absolutely adored playing with them. It was heartwarming to see her come out of her shell, and I’m sure it’s because she got so much attention, exercise, and socialization with Melanie and her furry friends. She even discovered a few new toys to fall in love with! I couldn’t be happier with the experience and would trust Melanie with my dog again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for treating her like one of your own!”

“My dog has a lot of anxiety issues and she did really good with Keeley! She was the happiest girl when we picked her up. Don’t hesitate to book with her!!! 10/10 amazing.”

“Angel was great. Sent us pics and videos of CC playing with other dogs. It was very reassuring knowing she was having fun and not stressed over us leaving her.”

“Brownie is in such good hands with Jeanne. She keeps her safe and well taken care of! It is fun for Brownie to play with other pups! So happy I found Jeanne!!”
