“This was the second time I was able to book with Tawnia, and she kept us so informed during our whole trip! She took several pictures and always left a detailed update, sometimes with a message to check in. She is very communicative and reliable. We would highly recommend her and we will plan to book with her again the next time we are out of town!”


“Angela was great with my older dog stopping in for visits. It was clear from photos they had fun and got plenty of love and care. Professional, timely and easy to communicate with - will definitely reach out again for her.”


“I would highly recommend. They were very friendly when we met. They took care of my little puppy so well! There was lots of pictures and details given after every visit. They went above and beyond with the items I requested. Never late and stayed the whole time.”


“Skyler did such a great job catsitting for our two kitties!! She was very communicative and sent pictures while we were gone. Skyler made sure she knew how to administer our cats medications before we left, and we felt confident in her with her past experience. I would definitely recommend Skyler to anyone needing a reliable pet sitter:)”

About: I have many years of caring for all types of dogs. I have worked with puppies, seniors, reactive/fearful dogs, and working/high energy breeds. I am always up for learning and researching new techniques and skills when it comes to dogs. I have fostered dogs through my local animal shelter for many years which has given me a lot of experience with rescues. I’ve fostered nursing litters, young puppies, and adult dogs with great success! I am always excited to meet new dogs and learn their personalities and quirks so that I can care for them in a way that works best for the dog! I am newly unemployed and dedicating my time to caring for dogs! My schedule is generally pretty flexible, which leaves me time to care for your pets in a way that works for you and your dog! I live in a home with a fenced in yard where dogs can play! I have one dog named Olive, and she is the best with fosters we bring into our home. She will take the lead of other dogs and can play for hours, or just hangout calmly and give space to nervous dogs. I believe in crate training and find it very useful for multi dog households, but if your dog isn’t crate trained we can figure something out! Mental and physical stimulation is one of the most important things for dogs, so I incorporate walks, brain games, and structure whenever necessary! I believe that each dog is unique, so I like to follow their lead in terms of what they require to be fulfilled!

“Jessica was amazing! Every visit she spent quite a bit of time with Archer and sent 1-2 pictures each day, sometimes showing him eating and sometimes showing him getting cuddles. They clearly got along well, and he seemed happy and healthy when we returned. Jessica is quick to respond to texts, and even checked in with us on the last day to make sure we'd get back on time and Archer would be okay.”


About: Hello my name is Wendy. I am an assertive individual with a calm energy, who is flexible on size and breed, and with over ten years experience providing pet care. I own vehicle that can accommodate multiple dogs comfortably and take 2-3 walks daily, even in inclement weather. I have the flexibility of caring for puppies and understand the need for frequent potty breaks as well as playtime opportunities for socialization. I often board dogs from multiple families concurrently, and provide separate areas for meal time in order to keep feeding time safe. Play time is supervised and breed appropriate toys are available upon request to ensure a safe fun stay. If I am required to leave the house while caring for your pet, I separate all dogs and have a large crate available if needed I am self employed and able to make my own schedule. This allows me to accommodate a variety of needs that my clients may have. At my current residence, I have a fenced in back yard to allow for safe off leash exploration. I also, as mentioned, provide separate eating areas, to ensure a safe environment during mealtime.

“Linsey has been just wonderful. I recently adopted a seven year old retired racing Greyhound, and my daughter's one year old Great Dane is often at my place as well (two big dogs with very different needs), and Lindsey is so good with them. She is really attuned to their needs and so knowledgeable about caring for animals, and she is absolutely dependable. I can go to work or out of town with the knowledge that the girls are well cared for by someone who genuinely loves dogs. That's priceless!”


“I love working with Nicole! She truly loves animals and is always happy to see my fur babies! I feel so assured working with her, because I know my babies are well taken care of and my house is the way I left it! Makes the stress of traveling all the more better when I come home!”


About: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting for 3+ years and have loved every minute—tail wags, belly rubs, zoomies, and all! I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and breeds, from bouncy puppies to mellow seniors, and I’m totally comfortable with multiple dogs at once. Whether we’re hanging out at your place or mine, I make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and right at home. I’m down for whatever—park adventures, yard play, chill time, or snuggles on the couch. I’ve got some flexibility in my schedule too, so I can work around your pet’s routine. Your dog’s happiness is always my priority! I work full time, but only three days a week, and I attend school part-time online—so I still have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend care, and can accommodate a variety of schedules. Whether you need drop-ins, overnights, or extended stays, I’ll do my best to work around your pet’s routine. With my online classes and open days, I’m able to provide lots of love, attention, and playtime throughout the week! I’m all about creating a fun, safe, and cozy space where your pup can feel totally at ease! At my place, there are comfy dog beds for napping, toys for playtime, and plenty of love to go around. Whether your dog is a cuddle bug or a ball-chasing pro, I make sure they’re happy and cared for like family. I stick to their routine, follow your instructions closely, and always keep their safety and comfort top of mind. Whether we’re hanging out at your home or mine, your pup will be in good hands and good vibes!
