“Crystal and her son are amazing!!! They made our boys feel right at home!! We could tell Crystal and her son provided the boys with lots of love and attention, which is quite the task with our attention seeking boxers :) Crystal is very accommodating and responsive with communication before, during and after their stay. We received pictures and updates throughout, I couldn’t have been happier with her services!! We definitely recommend Crystal and are happy that we found someone to take care of the boys instead of having them go to a kennel environment!!! They were loved and taken care of 24/7 and it showed!! :)”


“We had to find a new sitter very quickly for a trip out of the country. We did a meet and greet with Tessa and our animals loved her. She was FANTASTIC. She stayed in our home for 9 days and took excellent care of my two cats and special needs dog. We were very nervous about leaving our dog (Rhone) who has epilepsy with a new sitter but Tessa was calm, responsible, and easily handled all the care details for her. Tessa was respectful of our home and even laundered the sheets and towels before. I will not hesitate to have Tessa stay in our home again.”


About: My house was home for 4-5 doggies during holidays for the past few years. I have the flexibility to walk/feed/check in on fur babies. I can teach some basic tricks. I am currently taking a sabbatical from my 9-5. While exploring other careers, would love to care for animals on the side. I have a chihuahua that absolutely loves big doggies. If your dogs love other dogs, I would be happy to introduce my dog to them, if they love their space I will have my dog stay home. I would prefer to care for animals at client's home. My place is an option for emergency situations. I can feed them, walk them, play with them. Teach them some basic tricks.

About: I can help! I have just over four years raising my dogs. I also have some experience rescuing dogs when I was growing up. And a variety of pets from snakes to cats. I currently work at home full time and looking for more activity! I can take care of pets any time. Check out our pics, our family is dedicated to making your pets feel at home while your away. 🙂 We let pet roam free in our home and have pet friendly furniture. There is a fenced dog park for small and large dogs on site! We also have cages and an extra large balcony for extra outdoor space to roam!

“Shayna was wonderful! My husband and I have been looking for a dog sitter for a while and we haven't been able to find someone that we liked. I am so thankful we found Shayna! Dolce loved her! And we did as well ! I would highly recommend her”


“Erin was fantastic with our 80 lb. ruffian rescue for a week. She took great care of him, played a lot and took him to a dog park for some running time. We would definitely have her take care of him again.”


“Molly did excellent with Ollie. She sent updated information and pictures during the week, which was awesome. She even left me a rose, so thoughtful. Our flight was delayed so Molly stayed so she could give Ollie his last shot of the day. She is now in my address book.”


About: I've been surrounded by furry friends my whole life. Chores in my early life included taking care of my childhood cats and dogs. I also have experience raising a litter of pups and caring for senior dogs with special needs. After college, I began raising my own dog, Birdie. My dog and I love adventuring outside in the woods and I am on a mission to visit 12 National Parks with her during her lifetime. Whether it's park romps, creek runs, or nail trims, I'm a pro at keeping dog companions happy and healthy. I'm currently in between jobs, so I have plenty of availability in July, August, and September 2025. I will keep my profile updated with my availablility. I am available for house sitting, as well as early morning (before 8a), midday (11a-1p), or evening (after 4p) visits. Please reach out for scheudling Winter Holiday pet care. My daily routine starts with letting the dog out to use the restroom, then she gets fed, and then I start my day. We walk at least once a day and we try and get to the local park as often as we can (because smells in the neighborhood get boring). My nightly routine consists of letting the dog out one more time (just in case), then brushing my teeth and tucking myself into bed beside the dog, who usually gets her own pillow. Boarding services can be offered with my current living situation, however, two cats will be present (both have lived with dogs their whole life), along with my dog (she is quite friendly and loves to play keep-away with other furry friends). The yard is large and unfenced with a huge amount of woods out back. There is an outdoor kennel with a doghouse. My dog hates it but yours might like it. I have plenty of experience walking two dogs at once, so no problem taking Birdie and your dog on a walk together.

About: I love every animal as if it’s my own. With a deep passion for pets and years of experience, I provide personalized care and attention to ensure your furry friends feel right at home. Whether it's a playful pup or a cuddly cat, I treat each pet with the same love and respect as if they were my own. Trust me to keep your beloved companions safe, happy, and well-cared for while you're away. I graduated high school and have a part time job but it’s only 1-2 days a week. I would eventually like this to be my full time job due to my love for animals. I hope you give me a chance to care for your pets! I grew up with 3 cats and 1 dog in my home, so I’ve always been surrounded by animals. Currently, I have 2 dogs in my home, and they bring so much joy and energy to my life. One of my cats deals with bad allergies, which requires her to take medicine daily. This experience has made me very attentive and knowledgeable about pet health and care. At the moment, I can only offer pet sitting in your home. However, I can assure you that I will meet all your needs and provide the best care for your pets. Your furry friends will be in good hands with me, receiving the same love and attention that I give to my own pets.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from Yorkshire terriers to mastiffs. I’ve fed, walked, and entertained dogs most of my life and currently I’m a dog trainer. Currently I’m a dog trainer so I’m required to interact with dogs and learn their behaviors. I love reptiles and small animals, dogs being the most, so pet are is just something that allows me to better myself in that field. My backyard is fenced and I live in a nice area to walk dogs. I’ve studied dog behaviors and body posture so that I can better tend to how they may be feeling during anytime they’re in my care.

About: Hi! My name is Kat, but I get it if that’s a dirty word in your house. I’ve been lucky to grow up with dogs of all levels; Huskies, Mastiffs, Pugs, etc. I started watching friends, family, and neighbors pets in 2019 and in 2021 I rescued my beautiful Cane Corso! I love all animals and can be trusted to treat your fur-baby with the upmost care and attention. I’m very active so I’m happy to play/hike/walk all day, I’ve even roller-skated with a pup. As I mentioned, I have a rescued giant breed. With her being a tougher rescue she has taught me how to handle almost any situation. She is reactive on walks so I’ve done training to continue to get her exercise with as much ease as possible. That being said, I can handle most dogs at all levels, no matter the size. Currently, I work 3 evenings a week with open daytime availability. I can drop in or take your pup for a walk anytime during the day and most evenings. I exercise often and go on lots of walks through the day, so if you have a high energy dog it’s no challenge for me. I wait a bit between exercise and feeding but I will prepare the food exactly how you and your pup prefer. I’m comfortable with crating and have done crate training.
