“Melanie dropped by our home to check on our two kittens. She always sent updates and pictures. She communicated very well and was super trustworthy! We’ll definitely have her watch our cats again 😊”

“Staci thank you so much for the last minute schedule to come by to care for Teddy and his cats! ? I highly recommend Staci to anyone who is very overprotective of their animals and wants the RIGHT love and care. I didn’t have to worry about anything and truly enjoyed my time away. Very communicative and loving. My animals love Staci. I will be using you again. Thanks again you rock.”

About: I’ve had a Cavalier King Charles for my whole life, the first one for 13 years and now my own for a year. He is my world and he gets along great with all dogs no matter size or age. I care for other dogs as if they’re my own and will always keep owners updated with pictures and/or text messages!! I have experience with giving meds, making food, feeding schedules, walking, potty breaks, etc. Let me watch your furry ones!! I’m currently in school Monday-Thursday from 7am-2pm and sometimes earlier, so weekends work better for boarding, however i’m willing to make it work. I can always pop in to walk your pup or take them out, or have them in my house! Up to you. I let my dog roam throughout the day and he does great. I always turn on a show for him:)) I have a fenced in backyard and take my dog for a walk everyday. I love taking him to the dog park as well and he would love to have a friend in the home, or I can come to yours and take care of them there!
“Barbara is a kind and thoughtful caregiver. I would trust her with any pet. People can feel comfortable that she will do all she can to make their animals feel cared for while she is with them”

About: I have had many dogs and cats over the years, starting in early childhood. They have always been a source of joy and companionship to me, true family members. I have had and trained many puppies and I am aware of the importance of good crate training and schedules! I am also versed in special needs dogs that have limited mobility and medical needs. It has been many years since I have had cats (ex husband had allergies) but they are truly amazing creatures. You always feels so honored to be given their attention! I have also had guinea pigs, rabbits, goats, birds and a horse. I am currently working part time and have lots of flexibility in timing. I am usually an early bird and don't mind visits that are earlier in the day. I do normally turn in early but can make adjustments as needed with advance planning. My typical visit includes lots and lots of attention after meeting basic toileting needs. We go outside, sniff, play catch, get lots of pets. I will make sure that food and water is available unless otherwise directed. I clean up any accidents that may have occurred. I try to make sure the dog/cat has toys or enrichment available to entertain them until their parents come home. If needed, I can pick up mail or packages and bring them inside.
“McKayla was OUTSTANDING!! I had a last minute cancellation with a sitter, and she was able to make it work for us. I got lots of pictures and my girls looked so happy. Even my dog Keera, who doesn’t do well with strangers, loved her. I hope I get to work with her again.”

“Christine was terrific with my shy kitties— they warmed right up to her! She was easy to communicate and book with, and reliable. Will definitely book her again!”

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats since I was in high school. And for the past ten years since. I have experience with puppies and kittens, older cats and dogs and am open and happy to spend time with your furry family member :) I work from home and spend most of my day with my 4 year old corgi. I can easily come for a walk, check in, or have your animal join me for the day! I have a fenced in backyard and work from home. I live next to a lively walking trail and have a safe space for your animal.
About: I have always had pets growing up, specifically dogs and cats. I currently have 2 dogs at home, which live at my moms house when I am on the road. My Nan also has 8 cats, who live right down the street from me and I see nearly everyday when I am in town. I love being able to spend time with animals when I am traveling because it gives me a comfort of being at home, and allows me to still see pets even though I am far away from mine. I always jump at the chance to pet-sit for friends and family members when I have the chance, no matter where they are in the world :) I travel full time and work remotely, giving me ample time to spend with your pets! Working from home, or in this case, your home, gives me the freedom to make my own schedule and care for your pets as they need :) As I travel for a living, I offer in home sitting within the clients home. As long as I am in the area, I am more than happy to care for your pets within their preferences at home.
About: I think a meet and greet is an important way to let me know if your pet needs anything special for their visit. I want pets to be my job. I have flexible hours to take care of your pet. If you have a senior dogs that needs to be walked by his/herself, that's no problem. They usually need to go at a slower pace so they can enjoy their walk. I can do walks or just drop in visits to be with them. I can also drop in visits for your cat, so they are not lonely. I think cats need attention & exercise while pet parents are away. I can give them playtime and keep you updated on their response. I want pets to be my job. I have flexible hours and the time to take care and play with your pups. I can also provide boarding on weekdays and/or weekends. I have no problem walking larger dogs, but I can only board dogs 20 lbs or under. (my dogs are 11 lbs and under.) I have had pets for over 30 and taking care of family, friends and neighbors pets for over 25 years. I treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a small fenced in yard and also have small dogs to keep your pup company. I am also able to crate your pup if needed. I have a dog door, but if I have to run errands the pups are safely keep inside until I return. My fur babies like to lay in the sun.
“She’s always been so flexible! Our pup loves her and her drop in visits and we do too! I feel so much better at work knowing he has her checking in on him. She’s always been so helpful!”


About: I have been caring for pets and wild life of all kinds (hamsters, gerbils, Guinea pigs, cats, dogs, fish, lizards, frogs, birds, snakes, turtles) for as long as I can remember, dating back to my early childhood days. I had a dog and cats growing up. Buster Brown was my childhood dog, he lived to be 18 years old. He was a good boy. Once he passed, of old age, I rescued Shatei. Shatei was my first baby as an adult. She was a Chow/Shephard mix, beautiful girl, looked like a lion. She was my sidekick for 15 years, before she passed of Cancer 😢 I then rescued two labs, Henry and Gracie. Oh my goodness, talk about personalities. Both of them were such sweethearts. Sadly, they both passed from Cancer at the age of 10. Which leads us to current day… I have a senior fur baby, she is 15 years old, pretty much blind and fairly deaf. She is a pee pad baby and the Queen of the house, so I am used to regular clean ups and special care for our older babies. I treat all babies as my own. My home is known as “the dog house”. When friends need a safe place for their babies, they bring them to me. My “Wolfpack” is used to their mom bringing home strays 🤣 after all, that’s how they all got here! My girls are 11, 12 and 15. Macy is the 11 year old and the dominant (mouthy) leader personality. She likes to spend her time barking at the UPS driver, Me, Postal Workers, humans walking their dogs, Me, birds, boats, Me, wind, hopefully You…she’s not picky, equal opportunity with that girl! Sydney is my 12 year old gentle sunbathing beauty, she likes to spend all of her time sunbathing on the front or back balcony, it depends on where the prime sunning spots are. She typically checks in with me on her commute from one balcony to the other, make sure I’m still doing my motherly duties, petting her belly, maybe slide a quick treat or two in. She’s easy going…🌞 🐾 Callie is my 15 year old senior, she enjoys no walks, eating as often as I will allow, barking at me to feed her, eating some more, sleeping and pooping wherever she pleases, because she knows mom will come right along and clean it up. And finally, saved the best or last, I lost my lil man Winston, at the age of 20 years old, 2 years ago. He was a champ, lil 10 lb Chiweenie, that lived his best Beach Life and now watches over us 🏖️ 😇 🐾 To sum it up, I love all animals! I am really drawn to dogs and they are typically drawn to me. I strive to keep a peaceful environment and vibe in my home and it reflects in how relaxed my dogs are 90% of the time. When I hit the couch, to relax, they flock to me. No matter if I have 3 or 6 dogs in my house, they all pile into the cuddle puddle, my favorite place to be! Who needs Heaven when you live like this!? This is MY HEAVEN! 🤗 I am ready to give your fur baby all the care, attention, and affection they deserve! I look forward to meeting you and your special fur baby! Sincerely, your dog’s future Aunt B ☀️ I am a retired stay at home dog mom! I recently retired from a career of 30 years, so I could focus on Living my best life and providing the best life for my fur babies! I am home pretty much 24/7, so plenty of time to play with your fur baby, take walks and lots of snuggles! Our day typically starts with doggy breakfast served first thing, followed by a nice long walk to make sure we take care of all of our business and smell all of the other business that was taken care of before we got there! After all, dogs can smell the mood someone is in, based on the scent they left behind 🤯 so I fully support letting them explore and use all of their amazing senses! Then it’s back home for a Good Girl or Good Boy treat, which I also carry on walks to encourage good behavior, then nap time! Napping options, based on weather, are the front balcony, back balcony, couch, or any dog or human bed in the house. The front balcony allows for monitoring delivery services, such as UPS, FedEx, USPS, Uber Eats, you name it, we monitor for it, in addition to monitoring the walking path to ensure all dogs know who’s territory this is and let’s not forget the prime sunbathing! The back balcony allows additional prime sunbathing options, as well as monitoring for delivery services ACROSS the canal, yes, all services covered on that side too, in addition to boats, pelicans, herons, seagulls, loons (we really love the loons when they swim, it’s a special kind of freak out for Macy, oh and Dolphins 🐬 Macy REALLY loves the Dolphins and will let the ENTIRE Harbor know when one visits). 😃 We gets lots of attention from the boaters passing by too. Then it’s time for doggy dinner to be served, followed by another trip outside to take care of business and make sure the hood is secure! Then we typically hit the couch for some R&R and our famous Cuddle Puddle, with lots of pillows and blankets, because we like things cozy around here! Finally, a final potty break before bedtime. I have a gated balcony for your dog to enjoy and 3 older dogs to keep them company. I can crate dogs when desired and leash walk them for potty breaks. I have an unfenced side yard and close access to a walking path. Pets are allowed on all furniture, indoor and outdoor.
“Anna is fantastic! She was so loving with Roman. She was great at communicating and took great photos with each visit! We feel safe leaving Roman with Anna and will continue to book her when we need. Very thankful for Anna!!”


“My Simba is picky about his friends. Sharen is now considered one of them. THAT is saying something! I could not be happier with how she took care of my fur baby while I was out of town. I'd absolutely reccomend her and she'll be my first call next time I leave town.”

About: Work from home with a flexible schedule I'm available for weekend drops in check ins. I have a fenced in backyard. Available for walks daily. I'm available mostly everyday for walks for your busy schedule :) I work from home. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of room for play! I also have two kennels available if you need any help transferring your furry friends. I have a fenced in large backyard. I have one dog is so playful and loves dogs! You may visit if you're hesitant for a meet and greet! He is so sweet & I also have two cats :)
“Perfect! Very prompt, great communication, very compassionate, and took excellent care of Millie. I hope she’s available next time I need her. Thank you for taking such good care of her so I didn’t have to worry.”
