Jeffrey was wonderful with our pets, and very attentive to them! He took and shared so many great pictures, and our dog especially had so much fun with him. He was responsive and helpful throughout our time away from home. We will definitely be hiring him again!

About: I have always loved caring for animals and treat every pet like a member of the family. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, that allows me to provide your dog with my full attention and a calm, comfortable environment during their stay. My home features a secure fenced-in patio with pet-friendly turf for outdoor time, and I’m fortunate to have a large dog park directly across the street as well as another dog-friendly area within my neighborhood. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I can tailor their care to their individual needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I have also volunteered with animal shelters, giving me a strong understanding of dog safety and behavior. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I would be honored to provide reliable, attentive care for your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am currently a nursing student and stay at home mom. This allows me to give your fur babies my full attention and lots of love and interactive play! I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications, and any special instructions. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a clean, safe environment. Dogs have access to a fenced-in patio with pet turf and can enjoy walks or trips to the nearby dog park if approved by their owner. Cats are provided with a quiet, comfortable space, fresh water, clean litter boxes, and enrichment activities tailored to their personality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I follow all care instructions carefully, provide regular updates and photos, maintain feeding and medication schedules, clean up after pets, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while their family is away. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.

Kennedy is a fantastic sitter! Just got back from my first trip away from my pup, and Kennedy helped me feel totally comfortable with it all. She sent lots of pictures and updates while I was gone, and my pup is very happy! Not only did she take good care of my dog, she also took great care of my home and left it looking better than she found it. Would definitely HIGHLY recommend her. So happy to have a good, reliable sitter for future adventures! Thanks Kennedy!

I can’t recommend Haley enough! She did an outstanding job caring for my furry friends—Raven, Nanachi, Koda, Kiwi, Zora, and Terra. She has a genuine love for animals, as they seemed so happy and comfortable in her presence. Each one of them adored her, and I could see that they had a fantastic time together. Haley was incredibly attentive, ensuring everyone met their needs and engaging with them through playtime and cuddles. I received regular updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s such a relief knowing that my pets were well cared for and loved while I was gone! Thank you, Haley, for your wonderful care and for making this experience so enjoyable for Raven, Nanachi, Koda, Kiwi, Zora, and Terra. I’ll be booking your services again in the future!

About: Hey! I’ve been a dog lover since I was a kid and have grown up surrounded by them. At one point, I had four dogs at once, so I’m used to all kinds of energy and personalities! I have three of my own dogs, so I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who genuinely cares. I’m all about making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved whether we’re going for walks, playing, or just relaxing. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting throughout the week, including weekends. I do my best to keep my availability up to date and can often work with short notice. Your dog’s routine is important to me, so I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific care instructions to keep them comfortable and happy. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure pets are in a secure, supervised environment and follow any instructions you provide closely. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, needs, and routine so they feel safe and at ease. In my home, your pup will be treated like family with plenty of attention, care, and a calm environment. I also have my own dog, so I’m experienced in maintaining a safe and positive space for multiple pets. I’m attentive on walks, mindful of surroundings, and committed to building trust with both you and your pet every step of the way.

About: I’ve had 2 dogs in my lifetime. They were potty trained when they were puppies. One of them was trained to go to the diaper, but then they were both trained to ask to go potty outside by standing by the door and bark. They were spoiled with love, food, and a bunch of fun. If they needed medication, we would administer it to them. When one of my dogs became old and couldn’t jump onto or from the bed, we got him a small stair so he could get onto his favorite spot on the bed. Sometimes he would ask to potty in the middle of the night and I would get up to take him out in the back yard so he could relieve himself. I currently work full time but my wife currently stays home all day. Your pet would be taken care of in the morning before heading to work and then my wife would take care of your pet during the rest of the day. Then I could take care of them in the afternoon. We can do boarding all week long. I have a fenced back yard where your pet can run around. There are no plants that are harmful to them. I have two cats that can keep your pet company. I can easily crate your dog if required or requested.
