“We were very happy with Cayden. She gave us a good peace of mind leaving for our vacation. There were no problems and all the critters took right to her. She is organized, efficient and reliable. I would def recommend! The chocolate chip muffins she left us were so yummy!”


“Took fantastic care of my kiddos, and kept me updated with every visit. Bella had a small potty accident on her bed and Triniti made no issue of cleaning up after her which I really appreciated, even threw the bed cover in the washer and waited with my dogs until it was finished drying. Will definitely book again. Thank you!”


“So kind and easy to communicate with! They were so loving to my big pup and made being out of town less stressful knowing she was well taken care of in our absence! Would recommend every single time!”


“Ashley was so great with our three fur babies when she stayed in our home! She was timely, communicative, and left our home in great shape. All the pets seemed happy and well taken care of when we got back! Will definitely book again!”


About: As an avid animal lover with six years of experience working with dogs—including those who are sick, injured, scared, or have been abused—I can accommodate any special requests to ensure your dog's comfort and happiness. My home is a safe, smoke, drug, and alcohol-free environment where your dog will feel loved and secure. Big or small, every dog is welcome! I aim to make your dog excited for every visit. Consider me to be your dog's home away from home! Early Morning (6-8 AM): I start the day with potty breaks and individual or group walks based on compatibility and needs. Provide fresh water and food according to each dog’s specific dietary plan. Late Morning (10 AM-12 PM): Engage in playtime, which could include fetch, puzzle toys, or simply supervised free play in a secure area followed by supervised outside time. Afternoon (2-4 PM): Quiet time for rest or individual attention like grooming, brushing, or cuddles. This helps reduce anxiety and provides a calm environment. Evening (6-8 PM): Dinner service, followed by a final walk to allow for potty breaks before bedtime. * Night (9-10 PM): Final check to ensure all dogs are comfortable, have access to water, and are securely settled for the night. Address any late-night needs like anxiety or discomfort. My top priority is creating a safe, fun, and comfortable environment for every dog in my care. Each day includes structured playtime, regular walks, and plenty of opportunities for socialization, tailored to their individual energy levels and personalities. I provide nutritious meals, fresh water, and cozy resting spots to ensure their physical needs are met. Most importantly, I offer constant attention, affection, and a watchful eye to make sure each dog feels secure, loved, and right at home during their stay.

About: I have two dogs of my own that are my heart and soul ♥️ I have taken care of my family and friends pets for a number of years and have a deep seated passion for all animals of all kinds. I currently work Tuesday-Friday 0730-1600 but can take a long lunch to adjust for flexible schedules! Let me know what you need and I will try to make myself available! I have a fenced yard and two loving puppies who like to make friends! I will always treat your property with respect and follow all instructions to a Tee.

About: I'm excited to be watching dogs again! I also watch entire farms, and many different types of animals.. just ask. Until I get a steady amount of pups per month, I do work outside the home M-F. My home is a TinyHome (12x40 shed conversion) =480 sq ft of play space, and a big yard (now fenced!) and a local park nearby. I've been pet sitting since I was 10. I LOVE dogs! I can administer medication both oral and with a shot under the skin. I ask that the dogs that I sit to be house/potty trained, unless it's a puppy younger than 6 months, and we've chatted about the pups needs. They also need to be able to put a leash on them, without any agression. Snappy or biting dogs aren't a good fit for me or my own dogs. >> I want your pet to be as relaxed and happy as I can make them. I will take any age, and any size dog :) "Exercise is the key to well behaved dogs..a tired puppy is a well behaved puppy" and I can't wait to meet you and your pups! Check out my reviews please! I work away from home currently, but with enough pups visiting, I will transition back to being home full time! When I'm home I incorporate your furbaby into me and my pup's life completely, as if they are one of the family, for the entirety of his/ her stay with me. 🥰🐾

About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets for years! I would love to take the weight off of your shoulders and help you with you pets! I am currently at home full time so I have all the time to take care of your furry friends! Sunday through Saturday I’ve got you covered! I have an open yard and a walking trail very close by to take everyone on walks or runs and 2 furry friends of my own to keep company and play!

About: I been taking care of dogs since I can remember! I have family and friends asking me to take care of their pets as in feeding them, play with them and even shower them when the time is needed I work a full time job as a pharmacy tech so I’m always available after 7:15 on week days but always open on the weekends (: I have a fenced in yard with 5 cats of my own! But I also don’t mind coming into your home to take care of your pets!

“Savannah was great! She stayed in touch before, during and after her stay. Cody was calm as could be when we got home so we know he was completely unstressed in our absence. Will definitely use Savannah again!!”


About: I have always grown up in a house with at least one dog. We also have had fish, a cat, and a lizard. Outside of my house, I have had experience sitting dozens of animals including dogs, cats, fish, chickens, and ducks. Of the animals some were puppies and some were elderly with physical limitations. Of the dates I am available, I should be open the entire day. I do not have a lot of other commitments during the summer which gives me a very open schedule. I have a huge heart for animals, especially dogs. Any time I am in charge of caring for an animal I do more than the bare minimum to keep them alive. I make sure to give them extra attention and give them plenty of exercise to ensure the best possible experience for both the animals and the family. I believe pets deserve more than just being fed twice a day, they deserve plenty of attention and quality time just like a human.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little! I grew up on a farm & then during college I worked for a dog training facility & cared for many dogs there as well! I work weekdays with some exceptions on the weekends. My calendar of availability is updated everyday. Please do not book out longer than a month from the current date without messaging me first. I have a dog of my own! She’s super friendly. But I won’t be bringing her with me on calls unless talked about with you first!

Acacia F.

“We couldn’t ask for a more perfect caregiver! She is always on time to pick up Boots and drop him off. She takes him on lots of walks and her wonderful dog Henry is a great friend to have while Boots is away from home. We know she is perfect for us because Boots is SO happy when she is around. We appreciate her so very much and are thankful to be at ease knowing our boy is safe. We love you Acasia!”

“Kimberly is one of the most animal loving person I have ever met. Her love and inclusiveness for ALL animals is what really stands her out among all the people I know. She always takes time out of her personal life to care and support animals in need. So, I’m more than confident that she’ll be able to care for those who are needing assistance with their animals.”
