“Cassandra took great care of my dog Ace during his 4-day stay. I can tell he had a good time hanging out with her dog, Chewy. Cassandra was a pleasure to work with and I hope to use her services again for future boarding.”

About: I’ve been dog walking for 4 years and truly love caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities.Im also a dog mom to 2 presa carinos & 1 maltipoo. I’m reliable, patient, and focused on making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and comfortable during every walk. Whether your dog needs exercise, playtime, or just a little extra attention while you’re away, I treat them like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom because I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day active and organized. I enjoy being around animals, and I have free time during the day that allows me to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or check-ins, I’m able to make pet care a consistent and reliable part of my weekly routine.I can also do late drop ins. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In my client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special care requests. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, patience, and exercise based on their personality and energy level. I always prioritize safety, supervision, and communication with pet parents by providing updates and photos so they feel at ease while away.
“Our big boy Masai loved staying with Ashley and her beautiful family. They took great care of him. And gave of us photo updates which kept us from wondering about his first overnight stay with someone he'd just met. We will definitely be calling on them again... I can't recommend them enough!”

“Barb took great care of my small dog....Tex. sent me several pics each day of my dog having fun playing in her backyard. Will be glad to have Bard take care of him again in the future.”

“Magdalena did a great job watching our dog for the week. She proactively provided updates and pictures and was very responsive. She exhibited great care for our dog asking questions related to behaviors and patterns. Will trust her to watch our pets in the future!”

About: I’ve been dog watching for about 4 years now. I started in college and began to enjoy it. I have had 4 dogs at once before and I loved it! Whatever you prefer for your fur baby will be done! If they need to be walked 6 times a day, we will do it! Love will be given to any animal in my care! I have a fenced backyard for them to play around in and there is also a trail nearby to walk if that’s better! Every need will be met
“Tim is a great guy who is amazing with animals. He provided pictures and updates every day. My dog did not even want to leave. He obviously provided great care and was very flexible with my schedule for pick up and drop off. I really appreciate his dedication and genuine love of animals.”

“Maria took such excellent care of my dog, she really went above and beyond in making sure he was safe, comfortable, and cared for ! I wasn’t expecting it to be so snowy while I was away, and she provided shoes and a coat for him to borrow: so thoughtful and really providing the best care ! As a highlight she also sent many photos and videos and was very responsive via Rover. I highly recommend Maria !”

“Megan and her family were wonderful with my puppy. I was apprehensive about leaving my 7 month old puppy, because, well he’s a puppy! Megan was so calming and inviting that I knew she would take great care of him! She kept me updated throughout the whole stay with pictures and texts. I highly recommend and will definitely be using Megan again!”


“Monica and Calvin are amazing dog sitters! They were responsible and responsive, communicating frequently and in a timely manner. And you could tell our dog was so happy and comfortable being with them - she ate every meal, which is rare when she's in a new situation, and quickly made herself at home. She clearly loved being with them, and that gave us such peace of mind! We'll definitely use them again to watch our pooch!”
About: Hi, I'm Danny! I work part-time as a dog handler at a local daycare and have 10 years of experience caring for animals professionally through dog walking and pet sitting services. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand that pets are our family and I'm intentional about providing them with the genuine love and care they deserve. I provide reliable daily walks, drop-in visits, in-home pet sitting, and boarding tailored to your pet's unique personality and routine. Managing dogs and cats of all temperaments daily has taught me exactly how to keep your pet safe, happy, and well cared for. I am fully insured and First Aid/CPR certified, and I promise to treat your pet like one of my own! I'm currently working part-time while studying on my own schedule. I'm very flexible for dog walks, pet sitting, and drop-in visits most days of the week. I care for every pet based on their individual needs, personality, and routine. On walks, I focus on enjoying safe, fun exercise and giving them plenty of time to sniff and explore. For drop-ins and in-home sitting, I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet has fresh food and water, exercise, playtime, cuddles (if they want them), and a clean, comfortable space. I’ll also send daily photos and report cards so that you have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I grew up with dogs, worked at PetSmart for many years, continued dog sitting professionally, and raised my own current dog, Gizmo, from 5 weeks old. I have gone through extensive training and I use that to help others with training issues when I can. I've been through various medical issues and found the appropriate care, including for a choking dog. I am an artist and like to photograph or draw they dogs I care for - have done separate pet portrait work not included with dog sitting. I like to try to really communicate with and understand each dog in their own circumstances. I have a dog park available just a short walk down the street. I have the ability to schedule working from home if needed. Typically, if you would like your dog to stay at my home, they will be sharing space with my dog, Gizmo. So please communicate if you need special consideration for alone time. I take walks or visit the dog park in the mornings. I typically work 10 to 6 Monday through Friday at an office, but can schedule days to work from home if a dog is staying and can not be left for a long period of time. My dog is Gizmo. He is okay with other dogs and will typically play a little outside and leave your dog to have their own space inside. You will need to discuss your situation with me if your dog needs alone time with me as I would need to address Gizmo's care under those circumstances. My house is on the smaller side, but the yard is fenced in and is reasonably sized. There is a dog door available to allow easy access to the yard. Dogs are allowed on couches and the bed in my home. I have one large crate if you would like your dog to use one. Each room can be closed off if separation is needed. If I am caring for a dog in another home, I need to take the same consideration for Gizmo. Please share your needs so we can adjust as necessary.
“Took such good care of our dog! We got lots of photo updates, which helped reassure us. She was able to accommodate all of our dog’s weird quirks and mannerisms, I could tell she ready my notes and applied those to their time together. Will absolutely use again!”

“Crystal was amazing! Great communication aa well as pictures. Kingsley appeared to have enjoyed his stay. This was his first time being around other dogs and Crystal made it a good experience for him. I'd definitely recommend her to others as well as leaving Kingsley with her and her family again.”

My pup Apollo had a wonderful stay with Latasha! He loved spending time with her daughters and got plenty attention and playtime. She was very kind and sent pictures and updates while I was out of town, which put me at ease about being away from him. I would 100% book with Latasha again for future boarding needs!
