“Shy came back happy, bathed and sleepy— I would absolutely trust Tawny with Shy again. She even came back with the cutest paw print ornament for the holidays, too cute!”


“Derek showed particular interest in wanting to make sure I thought his home had enough space for my dog and that the arrangement would work for him (it did, and it did). My dog did well with him throughout the weekend, and he was amenable to my somewhat flexible timeline for pickup. I would leave my dog with him again.”


About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was a child. I know how special and precious they are to their owners. Every dog I look after is treated as if they were my own! I currently work Monday through Thursday each week. I can still board dogs that are house trained and can wait 8 hours for a potty break on those days. Weekends are all freed up for nothing but fun and playtime. I have a fenced in yard with a small koi pond. The pups love watching the fish and chasing the frogs. The yard is wide open with lots of room to run and play. My house is very dog friendly, clean, and safe. I do have a 3 year old boxer female who is spayed. She is extremely dog friendly and sweet. I provide all dog bowls, treats, and lots of toys to play with.


“What a wonderful experience! Mary Jane and her partner were responsive, kind, accommodating, and took incredible care of our dog. Communication was excellent and we received daily updates and pictures. Our dog was clearly happy, comfortable and worn out from their loving care. They will be our first choice every time!”


“Celsei did a great job with our cat Apollo. She sent regular pictures and had a good process for helping him get acquainted with her house. We will definitely have Apollo go back to her if we ever need to board him again!”


“Ernie was great! Shared pictures everyday of my cat enjoying her time at their home for a week and was very responsive. Will definitely use him again as a sitter.”


“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Cooper. Thomas has a love for pets, and treated mine like his own. He arranged a meet and greet, which put me and my dog at ease. I had never left him with anyone before, and seriously considered not making my trip because I was nervous about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know. After meeting Thomas, I was no longer worried, because it was obvious to me that my dog would get love and good care. Cooper had a blast there, especially with Thomas’ dog, Maple, and felt right at home from the get-go. I’m sure he misses them, and would love to meet up with them again some day!”


“The best care in the whole world. Kimberly was amazing and it warmed my heart to know Nisa was loved and cared for. Thank you so much for your generosity and compassion!”


“Super understanding when our elderly boy was just too anxious to be away from us for a night. Debbie’s home is spacious, with lots of yard space for exercise. Their sweet and lovable pup Chesney was ready to greet and befriend both of us upon arrival. With her experience and sensitivity, your pet will be safe and well-cared for in Debbie’s capable hands.”


“Mason was really great with our dogs and sent us updates. He is clearly used to dogs and really understand their behaving. Would recommend .”


“Haley did an incredible job with our puggle Winston. She wore him out walking him, and that elevated his spirits like no other! She also provided plenty of updates on his well-being, and I would go to Haley again for Winston. 5 gold stars and an A+ grade.”


“Mary was great. She was so great with my girl, sent me tons of pictures, was so flexible when I accidentally scheduled the wrong date, and genuinely made me feel comfortable leaving her for the first time while I was gone. My girl loved the yard, and I know she had a great time. Will definitely recommend to anyone who needs someone to watch their babies :)”


About: I have taken care of my own pets since I was young including dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, and hamsters. I understand how important your furry friends are to you and I want to make sure I can be the best substitute for them. As I am a student-athlete and work part time, pet care is something I like to work into my spare time. Taking care of animals is a passion of mine so I like to try and make time for it each week. I care for pets just as I would want mine to be cared for, making sure I can be the best substitute for you. I am great at communicating how your pet is doing and can be a safe environment to build your pets trust.

About: Hi! I would love to get to know your pets and give them all of the cuddles <3 I have experience cat and dog sitting for family and friends. I have grown up with dogs my whole life! My family dogs have a special place in my heart <3 They are between the ages of 8yrs and 10yrs. So, I've gotten transitional experience into taking care of senior dogs. The littlest of the two was diagnosed as a diabetic 3 years ago. So, I am well versed in administering under-the-skin injections and oral medications. Currently, I only have one cat living with me. She is a domestic medium-hair, and just over a year old. Even though I adopted her last May, she still has so much kitten energy and keeps me on my toes. As a graduated senior, I am quickly approaching an open-schedule. I work with the university, but my shifts are incredibly flexible. Additionally, I make it a point to not work the weekends, so I have 100% availability. I have the pleasure to have a fenced in backyard in a quiet, residential neighborhood. Your pets will have quick access for potty breaks and outside play time. The B-line trail is also just behind our house, so we can plan for plenty of walks while in my care. My cat, Mali, is a fully indoor cat and on Revolution Plus. As of June 2025, she is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations.

About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animal companions for 20 years! I worked on a Farmed Animal sanctuary and took care of chickens, goats, turkeys, cows, and pigs. I have had cats and dogs my whole life and specialize in both senior care and puppies. I’m great at training pups and love to be active. If your dog needs a good hike, I’m your guy! I’m currently working the early morning shift and have plenty of time after work to care for your babies. I also have weekends off so go on that day trip you always wanted to and leave it to me. My dogs are my children. I take them hiking, swimming, walking, and/or to the dog park at least once a day. I’m just starting out as a personal trainer so if your dog needs a jog around the block I can do that.

“I can’t say enough good things about Ryan! From the moment we met, I could tell they truly understand dogs — especially my deaf pup, who needs a little extra patience and care. He was good with sending me regular updates, photos, and even little notes about my dog’s day. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup. It’s rare to find someone so dependable, communicative, and genuinely kind. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!”


“Melissa, David, and Milo were great! Our dog Tucker was well taken care of while we were out of town. They sent pictures every day and Tucker has a new best bud, Milo!”


About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I trained dogs for 4h growing up and have experience with large breeds. I have raised cats, dogs, rabbits, and fostered puppies and kittens for the shelter. I understand safety and ensuring a dog is under control and well supervised while getting the care they need! I am available after work and have all my availability on my calendar. I can be flexible for your pets needs and would love to chat! I am not currently offering at home sitting in clients home or my home as I have two dogs at home who take up a lot of space!

“Becky helped us sit our puppy for a day. She cared for our puppy like her own. She shared pictures throughout the day and kept us informed. We are very happy with her services and will definitely recommend.”

“I can’t speak highly enough on the love and care Bora has provided both of my pups. Always so welcoming and kind. As soon as we turn down her street they get so excited!! She always sends updates and pictures, asks any questions she has, and has the biggest heart for the pups. 10/10 would absolutely recommend. She has always helped when it comes to care. Again, I can’t speak highly enough. I trust her absolutely with my pups and they are my babies ❤️ 🐶🐾”

“Katie has been a wonderful help caring for our pets - lab, Lucy and a cat, Teddy! Lucy get so excited every time she sees Katie , knowing that she’s going to have a fun day!!!! Katie is responsible, caring and trustworthy, I’d highly recommend her for any pet sitting services you need!!”


Katherine F.
“Katie is truly amazing with animals! She’s incredibly loving and gentle with our 14-month-old kitty cat, Mali — always cuddling with her, playing, and making sure she feels safe and adored. Katie has two dogs back home, Gracie and Luna, who absolutely adore her, and she treats them like her babies. She’s constantly feeding and petting the neighborhood cats, and she lights up every time she sees an animal. Her phone is filled with thousands of photos of her furry friends — each one loved like family. Katie is kind, reliable, and has a natural, heartfelt connection with animals. You can trust her completely to care for your pets as if they were her own.”
