“Diahann is such a great dog sitter! She creates a super safe, fun, and educational environment for the dogs in her care. An environment which encourages socialization and growth. I’m so thankful to be able to leave my pup in her capable hands.”


“Noelle is the best. She was so kind and accommodating to my last-minute day care request, and my dog Peaches really warmed up to her and her dogs. I appreciate that she shared updates and was so easy to communicate with, and Peaches looked like she was having a blast in all the photos Noelle sent. Peaches was so happy and relaxed when I picked her up. If we’re in the area again, I’d definitely book her again!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years my own, my family’s, and friends’. I’ve walked and cared for rescues, puppies, seniors, and dogs with big personalities. I currently have a well-behaved rescue dog and previously had a Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix and a Siberian Husky, so I’m confident with both large and small breeds. I’ve also cared for multiple family members’ and friends’ dogs in my home or theirs, including Samoyeds, Chiweenies, Pomskys, Great Pyrenees, Pitbull mixes and more. I understand dogs deeply, and I know how to help them feel comfortable, cared for, and at home whether I’m walking them, house-sitting, or boarding them with me. I’m currently not working and have a very open schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I walk my own rescue dog Jax every day, and I genuinely enjoy being outside and staying active. I’ve been looking for meaningful ways to fill my time, and caring for animals is something I love and find personally rewarding. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and can be flexible with timing. I also plan to take a short maternity leave starting late December, but I’m fully available until then and I’ll be back soon after! Your pet’s comfort and safety come first in my home. I have a fully fenced backyard, and my own dog, Jax, is a friendly and submissive rescue who gets along well with all other dogs. My home is pet-friendly, clean, and calm, and I can easily accommodate crate-trained dogs or follow your pup’s specific routine. I also have extensive experience house-sitting and caring for dogs in their own environment, which I know can be comforting for some pets. Whether at my home or yours, I create a space where pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I love keeping dogs active and engaged! For pups who enjoy walks, I take them on fun neighborhood strolls, and if they’re staying at my home, they can enjoy playtime in my fully fenced backyard. I also tailor activities based on the dog’s personality whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, puzzle toys, or just cozy snuggles on the couch. I’m all about making sure your dog feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! And I’ll be sure to send you photos and updates on your pups throughout the day :)

“Marlena was great with Rainy while I was gone for the day. Rainy's need and comfort were a priority for her. She also sent me several texts with photos for mt peace of mind. We will definitely use her services again.”


“Kristina was amazing with Nalo. We set up a meet and greet last week and she interacted with Nalo, gave him treats, and was even training him in that short time. He had his first day of doggie daycare yesterday and Kristina sent me video and pictures of Nalo throughout the day. Nalo is only 5 months but we are leaving for 3 days in a few weeks and were looking for someone we can trust to watch Nalo for 3 days. Nalo made friends, went on walks, and was pooped by the time he came home 😂 Thanks Kristina! So glad we found you!”


“Leaving Diesel in Jinree's care for the day was a great experience! She is so kind and thoughtful to our boy, she provided pictures and updates throughout the stay - and they were really nice pictures!! Diesel looked handsome and calm and happy in each one. Diesel loved having a yard to explore! We do not currently have a yard, so it was special for him to have access to one again. It's spacious and lovely with lots of sun and shade coverage as well. She was flexible with her time, as traffic affected our pick up times, and overall Jinree was very pleasant to work with. I know our Dog will always love and appreciate a good back yard and a good front window to stare out of, and he was excited to see Jinree again too after our initial meet and greet, so I'm certain her enjoyed her presence and attention. I highly recommend Jinree and look forward to booking with her again.”


“McKenzie is amazing! I left my boy with her the whole day and he was very well taken care of. Her yard is super large and my dog loved playing with her dog Nugget. Would most definitely book with her again, 11/10 :)”


“Have to say, I am totally impressed with Timmy. He takes great care of my Big Baby Cerberus. Cerb has only gone to Tim house twice. Both days Cerb loves going! The 2nd day Cerb just knew we were around the corner to Tim house started to get excited. I highly recommend 👌”


About: I’ve always had animals in my life—dogs, cats, bunnies, a hamster, frogs… and one unforgettable roommate with ferrets. These days, it’s just me, my dog Tillie, and two backyard chickens, Lucy and Caroline (they run a tight ship). I work from home, so your dog will have company all day—whether they want to nap by my desk, play in the yard, or soak up some love. My partner doesn’t work from home, but when he’s here, he’s everyone’s favorite ball-thrower and treat-giver. Your pup will be treated like part of the family—chicken supervision included. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means your dog won’t be left alone for long, if at all. They’ll get plenty of attention throughout the day—walks, playtime, snuggles, and whatever else makes them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I have a fenced yard, a sweet dog named Tillie, and two backyard chickens. We keep a calm, safe environment for everyone—your dog will be cared for like family.

“Excellent daycare experience for our 35 pound mini aussiedoodle. We were in the area for a little local vacation and needed a day sitter while we took our daughter to an event. Keri and Kerry have a fantastic back yard and provided our pup with what appeared to be an enjoyable day. Our pup got along great with their dog Beau and got plenty of activity throughout the day. We’d definitely reach out again if we’re back in the area for a future vacation!”


“Ashley did a phenomenal job looking after Pip! He’s a tiny little fellow with big personality and Ashley helped him feel safe and comfortable while staying with them. I could tell from the photos (there were lots!) that Pip really enjoyed his stay. Definitely plan to bring the tiny hound back for more adventures with Ashley and crew.”


About: I’ve taken care of neighbors dogs for over 15 years while they are out of town. Not every dog is the same or needs the same amount of care. I work from home so my schedule is really flexible. I can make most requests work for your needs. Being patient with older dogs is not a problem! I have a fully fenced yard. Case by case basis for dogs taken in my home- send me a message and we can figure something out.

About: **Meet and Greet Required for all New Clients** I am certified graduate from Animal Behavior College with over 15 years of experience caring and training dogs. I own Awakening Companionship, a positive reinforcement training business. Having worked professionally and personally with a variety of dog ages, breeds and personalities, I understand the importance of personalized pet care! I currently work from home as a graphic designer, except for one or two days a week subbing at SBL School District or when I see dog training clients. I do have two cats and three senior dogs, so staying close to home for their needs would align with any pet I am caring for. I have a fully fenced shady back yard, two loving kids and three sleepy senior dogs to keep your fur baby company during their stay. There is ample space to play, train and explore! Exercise and mental play are important to a happy pet, so whether at your house or mine, we make sure to pack in the fun!

“Anna and her husband took fantastic care of my pup! I felt very comfortable leaving him for the day for doggy day care with her. She sent lots of updates of him having a blast during his stay! I would recommend her to anyone, and would book again in the future! Thank you!”


About: I grew up with German Sheppards from the time I was born until 20, when I adopted my apartment sized dogs - 2 silky terriers. I'm extremely comfortable around all doggos of any size!

I have a fenced yard with easy access, and two small dogs to keep your pet company. I can crate train if needed and will make accommodations if able.
