“My 2 girls were so happy with Sandee, i could not have asked for better care of my two spoilt pups! I am very grateful to Sandee for taking my girls for the afternoon, which freed us up to do the necessary things related to purchasing a home. I won't hesitate to go back to Sandee and trust her with my precious fur babies. Thank you Sandee!!!!”


“Jill and Thomas was amazing and so kind! They treated Kobie like their own and took great care of him. They were in constant with me throughout my trip and sent me many photos!! I would 100% board with them again.”


“Jermaine was awesome! Our dog, Reese, is getting older and I feel like a traditional kennel is a little too loud & stressful for her. Leaving her with Jermaine gave us the peace of mind we needed. He was communicative and positive. She came home happy & healthy. We are very grateful and will absolutely use his services again”



“Rackeem was awesome with my dogs while I was on vacation! He took excellent care of my fur babies and I highly recommend him! He provides daily updates and pictures so you can be assured your pets are safe and doing well while in his care. He's also a great trainer as well! He helped my very active 14 month old pup 🐶 stop pulling so much while on our walks.”

“Sharon was caring with Lola. She reassured me Lola was comfortable with sending me pictures and videos. That put me at ease because it was the first time Lola's was left with a sitter. I will feel comfortable using her again to watch Lola .”


“We are extremely happy with Amrita’s care for our dog London. I was kept updated with tons of pictures and videos which brought a smile to my face knowing she’s happy and loved.

Whether you’re heading out for the weekend or need reliable care, I specialize in breeds like Poodles, Bichons, Yorkis and Maltipoos. Let your dog stay stress-free while you’re away! Looking for a loving and reliable sitter for your hypoallergenic pup? I’m available every weekend for dog sitting in a safe, calm, and allergy-friendly home. I have experience caring for diabetic dogs and understand the importance of medication schedules and special diets. Because of allergies, I can only accept hypoallergenic breeds (like Poodles, Maltipoos, Bichons, etc.). Let your dog enjoy a peaceful weekend while you’re away! Message me to schedule a meet & greet. I provide a safe and calm home environment with a spacious yard with a large outdoor pen for supervised roaming. I provide regular walks every few hours

“I can tell my dogs felt loved and comfortable at Brooke’s house. The house has a securely fenced-in yard. Brooke kept me updated and reassured me that my sensitive dog Jazzy was not feeling abandoned.”


“My dogs had a great time at Alicia’s! One of my dogs was recovering from a wound, and she was very understanding. Her pup was very friendly and playful, and got along great with my two small dogs. I would definitely book with Alicia again!”


About: I currently am available during the daytime for any pet sitting or walking needs. (I work a part time job in the evenings). I respond quickly and make sure your fur babies have the best care possible. I love both cats and dogs, I have 2 cats of my own and grew up with lots of dogs! Im available during the daytime for any dog walking or sitting needs! I even accept same day bookings as long as I’m available. Please reach out for inquiries. :) I care for pets in your home by becoming educated on your pets specific needs. Your pet is my top priority when in your home, resulting in frequent walks and being let out in the years to do their business. I love playing with pets and allowing them to let out their energy.

About: What sets me apart is the care and attention I give as if each pet were my own. I recently cared for two dogs for a full week, handling everything from daily walks and feeding to playtime and companionship. I went beyond basic care to make sure they felt truly safe, seen, and loved while their owners were away. I’m reliable, nurturing, and committed to creating a calm, happy environment pets can count on. As a stay at home mom/military spouse, I have a flexible and stable home environment that’s ideal for providing personalized, attentive pet care. Since I’m home throughout the day, your pet will never be left alone for long periods and I can maintain their routines with walks, meals, and playtime. Our military lifestyle has taught me to be adaptable, dependable, and prepared for anything, which translates into the care I give each animal. Pet care fits naturally into our calm, family oriented home where your pet will be treated like part of the family. I offer a safe, loving, and dependable environment for your pet. My home has a fully fenced patio with turf grass for supervised outdoor time, plus a large grassy field right behind it for extra play and potty breaks. We’re also just around the corner from a dog park, perfect for social dogs who love to run and explore. I’m home throughout the day, so your pet will never be alone for long and will get plenty of attention, love, and routine. I treat every animal like family to ensure they feel secure, happy, and right at home.

“I had to go to a conference. Elizabeth took excellent care of Shelby. She provided pictures and updates while I was gone. Elizabeth was also flexible with the pick up time when my flights were delayed, which caused me to get home much later than expected.”


About: I grew up on retired farm land, so I gained lots of experience raising and training several dog breeds, all sizes and ages. We rescued and fostered several dogs, cats, and rabbits over the years. As an adult I started fostering dogs and rabbits myself. Until recently, I was fostering primarily dogs. I have 2 shepheards and 2 pitbulls permanently placed in my home, as well as a dwarf rabbit. 2 of my dogs are trained and registered as service animals. I have a very adaptable home with lots of indoor/outdoor play space, as well as space to be separated as needed. I are very particular about keeping our food and water bowls clean with washing every day. I am happy to love you fur babies! There is rarely ever a time my pets are home alone. They all free roam and coexist peacfully, so I have a very calm house usually. We have a go out/walking schedule we follow to ensure proper exercise, as well as a secure feeding routine. My fiancé works full time, so I am the full time caretaker of the animals. Stranger pets in my home are introduced calmly and carefully, as to maintain a safe environment for all. Higher energy dogs meet my shepheards first, calmer animals meet my old boy first. My animals stay leashed infront of guests until a calmness has been reached. I have separate feeding bowls for all animals, water is communal as to resist territorial behavior. If calmness can not be reached, I have space to separate any unrully animals as needed. As a stranger in another animals home, I aproach very calmly and happily to respect their space. I am very adaptable to understanding and applying a feeding/walking schedule. Play time is always important, and my favorite part of the day! Lots of play time and pets are given to fur babies.

Amber C.Star Sitter
“Amber was so sweet and took the time to get to know each of my dogs and their personalities. She was not phased with my new ornery puppy and his antics. She walked them and played with them wonderfully and had the older dogs medicines very organized and asked good questions to make sure she had everything correct. She's wonderful and great with all types of breeds and sizes.”
