“Baron had a great day with Isabel and her fiancée! Despite him being a slightly anxious pup at times, he seemed to be at ease, relaxed, and enjoying his time. Isabel was very responsive and took very good care of Baron. I will definitely be booking with Isabel again!”

About: I grew up with black lab mixes, having at least one dog in the house all the time. I helped to raise two of the family black lab puppies through 15 years and care for the next generation, a 2 year old black lab/border collie rescue pup, teaching her to sit and lay down. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs over the past few years, learning patience from puppies, strength from sweet old ladies, and the careful nuance that comes with leash aggressive rescues. I now have an adopted a rescue greyhound in the family. She loves new friends but is also perfectly happy cat napping wherever her bed lands. Happy to host or walk, with or without her company. I’m full time at home and so I am free to do breaks and provide limited entertainment between meetings, which are never more than 1.5h. This is the schedule I provide my own pup and would extend to others. I treat them as my own. I prefer to be over communicative with owners if any potential issues arise as well. Greyhounds react particularly poorly to negative feedback and punishment, so patience and focus on pawsitivity (particularly treats) is a standard with me.

“Sonia is absolutely fantastic! My dog Isla had an amazing time and was so happy and tired when we picked her up. We'll definitely keep rebooking going forward! Having just adopted my dog ~6 months ago, this is the first time we've left her with anyone other than family and I have to say I was SO comfortable and happy knowing that she was in great care. Sonia sent pictures almost immediately to let us know Isla was settling in and more to follow up during the day. Highly, highly recommend Sonia-- wonderful experience knowing that my dog was in the best possible hands!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’m confident in creating a calm, loving environment that fits their needs. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have plenty of attention throughout the day—and with a beautiful park right next door, daily walks and outdoor time are part of our regular routine. I genuinely treat every pet like my own, giving them the care, affection, and respect they deserve. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I start the day with morning walks (the park next door is perfect for that), and I build in time for play, feeding, potty breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. Evenings usually include a final walk and some wind-down time. Whether it’s a short visit or overnight care, I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention and care woven into my day like they’re part of the family. In my home, I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly space where your pet can feel comfortable and cared for. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible—walks, feeding times, play, and rest—to help them settle in easily. I live next to a park, so daily walks and outdoor time are a big part of our day. Pets have full access to cozy spaces, and I’m always nearby since I work from home.

“Qualynda was amazing with our puppy. She watched her for us on very short notice and went above and beyond to care for her and keep us informed. Our girl is pretty timid and was scared at first but warmed up quickly and had a great time. She especially loved running around the big backyard! We will definitely use Qualynda again!”

“Another great few days with Ty! She communicates clearly, follows through on all logistics and timelines, and most importantly, cares for Dexter with kindness and diligence. He loves spending time with her!”

Kate H.

“I can tell Ace had a very good time with Kat and her family. I felt relaxed and at ease leaving him with her, which is so rare for me. Definitely recommend her services.”

“Tammie is the best and Rocky is awesome as well! So glad we found you! Franklin is definitely going to sleep well tonight!”

Jaimie S.

“Marcy loves staying with Michelle! She always eagerly runs to the door at dropoff. Michelle is great about sending updates throughout the day as well.”

Katie H.

“Gunther loved hanging out at Courtney’s house with his new friend Lucy! They are great hosts. He came back exhausted and happy- we enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking for a safe and friendly home-away-from-home for their canine companion.”

Sarah P.

“Valerie was an absolute blessing. I had to come up with a dog sitter for a few hours last minute and she was quick on the response. I don't normally do a drop without a meeting first but she helped ease my dog into being comfortable. She had another dog there as well and immediately knew that being seperate was the best option. I appreciated the fact that her space could accommodate that and also the sincere care she took to ease my mind by sending updates, photos and videos as my dog became more comfortable! Her cats were such sweethearts along with her very cute baby girl. I will definitely use her in the future and will recommend her. She was efficient and noticed small details with the animals that let's you know she cares.”

About: What sets me apart is the personalized care I provide to every dog. I treat each pet like family and take the time to learn their unique personality, routine, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ve experienced caring for dogs of all ages, including senior dogs who require extra patience, gentle handling, medication, and a consistent routine. I’m dependable, attentive, and believe every dog deserves plenty of exercise, affection, and one-on-one attention. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages giving you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and in caring hands! As a college student athlete, I am organized, responsible, and maintain a consistent routine. My schedule in the evening evenings/weekends allows me to provide dependable pet care, including walks, feeding, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention during these warm summer weeks. As I am a college student living in a house, I can take pets when needed. Typically I go to the clients home and coordinate with the owner rules and responsibilities there.

“Debby was AWESOME! My puppy was in such good hands. She’s very loving, attentive, responsive, friendly, had a lot of experience with dogs, keeps you updated with pictures, and overall genuine. My puppy had such a fun time at her place! Will definitely be booking again :)”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve spent the past 3 years helping friends, neighbors, and families care for their pets. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats and have experience fostering dogs, which taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when caring for animals with different personalities and needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets, whether that’s going on walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company and making them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m reliable, communicative, and always happy to follow detailed care instructions, routines, and feeding schedules. I also love sending regular photo updates so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. I’m currently taking a gap year while helping with my family’s business remotely, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, daycare, and boarding during both weekdays and weekends. Since I spend most of my time at home, pets will rarely be left alone for long periods and will get lots of playtime, attention, and care. I live in a clean and quiet condo in a gated community with plenty of safe walking areas nearby. We have a two-bedroom home with enough space for pets to relax comfortably, including a living room area for play and companionship. I also have a very friendly 3-year-old Havanese girl who gets along well with other dogs and enjoys having company. I’m attentive to detail, follow care instructions carefully, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in my home.
