“I can’t say enough good things about Sara. She is taking great care of my dog. I trust her and feel confident that my dog is in good hands with her. Just as importantly, my dog really likes her!”


About: My husband and I grew up with dogs and have loved and cared for many over the years including our first doggy child, Molly. She has since crossed the rainbow bridge and although we’re not quite ready yet for a new dog, we’re happy to share our built up puppy love to provide a safe and loving environment while you’re away. At our home, all dogs become part of our family and I will reinforce any behaviors you maintain in your own home. But if your pet is used to couch cuddles they’ll get the same thing here! They’ll have all of the love and comforts of home that cannot be matched by any traditional boarding place, while receiving personal attention as they’re in space where they’ll be the only dog. It’s a change for your dog to go from one home to a new one. However, I find that having a home with no personal pets and no other boarders helps to ease the transition and get them acclimated quickly. I work from home full time so your pet would have nearly 24/7 care. It makes me so happy to be able to spend my workday with a fuzzy friend! You’d be aware of all times where I wouldn’t be home but this typically does not exceed 2 hours. When the weather is nice, the family and I try to be out as much as possible and will always bring your dog along for the fun! I enjoy getting out for walks several times a day to stretch out my legs after extensive periods behind a desk. If your dog is up for it, then I’m happy to get to bring them on my walks! I have a large, fenced yard with a designated “potty” area. There are no other pets in the home so even the most anti social of pups are welcomed here. Since I work from home, I’m able to accommodate almost any feeding, medication or bathroom schedule and provide lots of cuddles! I care about the safety and wellness of your pet above all else and have been certified in pet CPR and first aid. If your dog will be joining us in the car, I have a harness for their safety while traveling.

“Dillan was prompt, had some great advice for a new pup owner and was great with my Cooper. Cooper warmed right up to him. I’ve already scheduled Cooper’s next walks with Dillan. I am very happy with Dillan’s services.”


About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, and fish for family and friends! They have relied on me for feeding, walking, playing, and cleaning their spaces! I am currently not working during summer break and won’t be going back until the school year! I am available during the summer weekdays and weekends! I have 3 cats at home who stay indoors, I am able to keep them inside for their safety as they are my family. They are treated very well. My cats are kept clean, played with, enjoy their window time, and their litter boxes clean. I will make sure things are kept neat in the home and things that can be a danger to the animal will be put away.

About: Hi, I’m Sindi, the person dogs run up to at the park like we’ve been best friends forever. 🐶💕 I’ve taken care of pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I love figuring out what makes each one happiest. Whether it’s zoomie walks, belly rub marathons, or slow strolls with seniors, I’m here to make tails wag and owners feel at ease. Your pets aren’t just animals to me, they’re family, and I’ll treat them like my own. I’m available all day on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, with plenty of time to give your pets attention and care. From Thursday through Sunday, I’m available in the mornings for walks, drop-ins, and playtime. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I always follow your instructions carefully, keeping feeding schedules, walks, and routines consistent. I’m also patient and gentle with shy or anxious pets, giving them the space and time they need to feel comfortable. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet feels secure, happy, and loved while you’re away.

About: I grew up with dogs! When I was younger I had 2 dogs and they ended up having a litter of puppies which we put up for adoption in happy homes. Later in life I had two other dogs which are still with my family on Long Island. Now my husband and two young kids have two dogs. Stark is a 10 year old yorkie mix. We adopted him in 2013. Wednesday is a mini Bernedoodle and is 6 years old. We brought her home in 2018. They are the sweetest and we are pretty happy together! He LOVES to play with other dogs. We would love for your pup to stay with us and play with Stark and Wednesday. My husband and I work remotely for most of the week, which gives us a good amount of flexibility. Therefore, adding another pup to our family is no problem. We have a fenced in yard and let the dogs out 4-5 times per day. We can walk if needed. We can only sit in our home.

About: I have had animals throughout my life, including dogs and cats.. I attended a Veterinary Science high school and went to college to become a Vet Tech. Unfortunately, my heart could not handle the number of euthanasias, so I chose a different career. I have cared for animals throughout their life spans and have a special place in my heart for senior pets (my last two cats were seniors when I adopted them). I am self-employed and able to adjust my schedule to fit what is needed. Thursday is my in-office day, so I may be limited to help on that day only. I respect your property and the fact that it is your pet's home. I am very observant of animal behavior and am patient with gaining an animal's trust.

About: Hello, my name is Anna, and I’m a dedicated and experienced dog caregiver with a lifelong passion for animals. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of owning and caring for three wonderful dogs—a Bichon Frise, a Lab mix, and a Pitbull—each of whom taught me something unique about loyalty, love, and responsibility. My Experience I have hands-on experience managing all aspects of dog ownership, including training, daily walks, vet appointments, and all related care expenses. I'm comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes and am confident handling multiple dogs at once. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a gentle senior, I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. I work full-time, but pet care is a meaningful part of my life and something I make time for. I’m available for evening walks, weekend dog sitting, and flexible drop-ins. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I always ensure they get the attention and love they deserve, no matter how busy life gets. In my home, pets stay in a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I follow their usual routine to help them feel at ease. In a client’s home, I respect your space and stick to your pet’s schedule—feeding, walking, and giving them the love and attention they’re used to. Wherever your pet is, I care for them like they’re my own.

About: I have been around animals my whole life and have been sitting other people’s pets for the last 8 years. I have had hamsters, gerbils, birds, fish, dogs, cats, etc. I love all animals. I used to have two dogs of my own but they passed on years ago. For the days when I come to your house, I also bring in the mail, water plants, anything that is asked to be done is taken care of. I also send daily pictures of your pets as they are under my care. When your dog is in my house, they are considered family. They are spoiled with love, attention, and treats (if the owner would like). There are plenty of toys for them to play with, a full backyard for them to run around in, and the house becomes their house for the duration of the stay. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!


About: Growing up in Peru, I started to take care of dogs of every kind since I was 8 years old. I would always feed stray dogs, and whenever they saw me, they would run to me, and we would create memories together. At the age of 15, my mom brought me a beloved companion who is now 15 years old. I also share my heart with an adorable cat. Both mean the world to me. I've always felt that animals have beautiful souls full of emotions and should be treated with respect, love and compassion. Hence, my ultimate goals in life is to open an animal sanctuary to care for these intelligent creatures for the rest of my life. I am currently attending school full-time; however, I am available for any requested services except Tuesdays and Thursdays between 8am and 1pm. We can always work something out. I have a small fenced yard and one friendly, playful havanese who would love to have playdates with your fur baby. Im always vigilant about my surroundings to ensure the safety of my own fur babies, and I'm equally committed to safeguarding yours as if they were my own.

About: I have been around pets for as long as I can remember. As a child I was not allowed to have my own pets which made me really sad. To spend time with animals I would visit friends and family members frequently. I just adore them so much! I love all animals 🥰 Later when my mother got a dog I helped take care of him. He was the sweetest little boy. I also took close care of my best friends dog and cat every time she got too busy with work. They needed the attention and the love, that I love to give. I also have my own cat now 😍 When my partner and I were in Southeast Asia for about 6 months it broke our hearts to see so many stray animals. So daily we drove around with our scooter to feed them. It makes me happy to help where I can, even if it’s only feeding them. All animals have a consciousness and need love, affection, attention and care just like we humans do! I currently have a lot of time on my hands as I’ve just moved here from Germany. So I don’t know many people and I work from home or anywhere I have an internet connection. I have all the time to play and care for all the fur babies 😊 We have a fenced backyard which is ideal. My cat is mostly outside so he won’t be around much. If I sit at your house I will responsibly follow any rules and guidelines you give me.

About: I am very responsible and caring and I’m quick to learn whatever makes your pet happiest. Whether it be belly rubs, baths, play time, or going outside I am willing and able to take care of your pet like they are my own! I recently graduated with my Masters and wanted some time off to study for my architecture exams. I love caregiving and playing with pups when I take a break, will happily follow any feeding/walking/medicine schedule you need. I always follow whatever rules my client has for their pet; climbing on furniture, cleanliness, and food intake, etc. If sitting for the clients home - I will respect your space and am known to leave things in better condition than I found them.

About: I have taken care of my family friends dogs for years, often ranging from elderly mini poodles to energetic border collies. I also have my own dog, however, because I am away for college she is currently not with me. I am also a Division 1 Athlete so I love taking them out on walks and having fun with them. I am available on mornings of weekdays and all day on weekends, because I am a full time student-athlete. In addition, late evenings of weekdays work well for me as well. I will often take pets on walks and make sure they get adequate exercise. Having a pet of my own, I understand how important nutrition is to your pets and will follow whatever plan you have for them. In addition, I also acknowledge how important it is to have a clean pet, and can wash your pet.

About: I have been saving neighborhood cats and pet sitting pups since I was a child. I will always give your pet extra TLC — I’m a pet owner myself and know what it feels like to have your furry friend in someone else’s care. You can expect texts with updates and pictures, so you can have proof and peace of mind that your pet is safe and sound. My availability varies because of my full time day job, but I am flexible, and typically free on the weekends! I can also arrange longer check ups (30 min+) or walks if need be — I love the outdoors and being active! I’m also a huge cat lover, so feel free to reach out for cat sitting as well.

“Kailyn is the most caring and dependable house/dog sitter we have ever had. We always have had 3 rambunctious dogs who need lots of love and attention and Kailyn provides.

Jessica G.Star Sitter
“**A True Animal Lover: Jess is Exceptional** There are pet sitters, and then there’s Jess—a genuine animal lover who goes above and beyond. When we had to leave for an unavoidable family graduation, we were faced with the heart-wrenching decision of leaving our beloved dog behind. She had been battling cancer, and our vet had given her only three months to live, yet she had defied the odds for seven months. We were agonizing over how to care for her in our absence, but then Jess came into the picture. Jess didn’t just feed or walk our dog—she stayed in our home, showering her with love and care during what turned out to be her final days. She kept us updated on her condition, gave her medication to ease her discipline and made her special food to coax her to eat. Her compassion and dedication gave us the peace of mind we desperately needed, knowing our dog was surrounded by love while we were away. Thanks to Jess, we were able to return and spend her last two days together. Losing our dog has been devastating, but knowing she was in Jess’s gentle, capable hands made all the difference. Jess isn’t just a pet sitter; she’s someone who truly understands and loves animals. We can’t recommend her enough.”

It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such capable hands.”
