“My original sitter canceled the morning before my trip. I was frantically trying to find a new sitter and Kathleen let me book quickly without hesitation. I am so thankful for that! I recieved messages and pictures while away and I could tell Myles had a great time and was well taken care of. Thanks again!!”


About: I’ve had dogs growing up my entire life! From family dogs, to extended family, we’ve had Lhasa apsis, shitzus, pit bulls, boxers, and many in between! I have a love for all animals and hope to some day open up my own dog day care / boarding facility! While I work full time, someone (whether it’s my fiancé or myself) someone will be home every 4 hours to check in and give potty breaks! Our schedules are pretty flexible and our pup keeps up on our toes so we’re always ready for anything. I have a fenced in yard, and 1 friend loving pup who is fully crate trained. While I understand crating doesn’t work for everyone, it works for our pup and family! We have multiple crates of all sizes in our home that are available for use if you need it! The pups will sleep upstairs with us, whether in a crate or on a dog bed. We also have a basement area designated for inside play and activity. They’ll always have an eye on them and will be treated like our own!

“Sarah is very professional and thorough! She took notes about all of my puppy’s preferences and made sure to follow up with me throughout her stay. My dog got lots of love, care, and play with Sarah!”


About: I've been house and pet sitting since I was a teenager, over 20 years! I've had my own dogs for 12 years and would be lost without our Sparrow, she completes my family! She and I are an easy going, laid back family with a large yard and lots of outside time. I work from home and take frequent breaks for walks outside. I use gates to keep dog friends in safe places, crates are optional and of Sparrow's choosing to use. Sparrow is a 3 year old golden doodle that loves other dogs and is chill and friendly. She is the neighborhood mascot and often stops on her walks to see her favorite kids on the block. I am available for both daytime care and overnight care, as well as coming to your home for walks and check ins while you are away. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me! My first task of the day is always a long walk with my dog! We take 2-3 walks per day and include lots of ball or tag time. Because my job is flexible, I can arrange my day to suit caring for others' pets as well. I use child safety gates to provide safe spaces for dogs throughout the house. There are several comfy places around the house for resting and a big back yard for playing, which we do every night. I have a crate available too, if needed.

“We went over seas for 14 days. Aimee kept great contact with us and sent us videos and pictures. We felt very comfortable and confident leaving our fur babies with her and her husband. I highly recommend her as a trust with and caring sitter. We will use her again for several trips we have coming up in 2025. Our gratitude is immense. Thank you! 😊”


“First time boarding a dog. Our Pepper can be shy and was initially with Ramona but she was very patient and great with Pepper. More importantly, she shared updates and pictures of how much fun Pepper was having outdoors. That was quite helpful in calming our anxieties about leaving Pepper with someone else for four days. Thank you so much Ramona!”


“Amazing care!!!! They made my pups feel right at home- they went above and beyond. Sent updates 24/7 and were so accommodating to my dogs- unbelievable the attention and care they gave my pups. Highly recommend and will def be using again in the future!”


About: I have loved and cared for animals as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had a golden retriever and six cats. Throughout the last 15 years, I have had three golden retrievers and two cats of my own. I treat my pets like my kids and would do the same for yours. Someone is almost always home at our house. My kids adore animals and love to play with them. Your fur babies would be sure to get plenty of love and affection. We have a gated deck that we love to spend time on. We are always outside with the kids so your pup would be sure to get plenty of fresh air. Our neighborhood is large and has sidewalks so we love to go on walks and would be happy for your pup to come along. We want your baby’s stay at our home to be as comfortable and stress free as possible for them.

“We have used Pat's services many times for our small Pup. When it's time to leave for our trips we know our dog is in the very best care. Pat has a special way with dogs and is really attentive to their needs and follows left instructions perfectly. When we pick our pup up she is very happy and energetic and it's obvious the dog was completely comfortable. Would never hesitate to have our pet in Pat's care.”


About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life, and now that I’m recently retired, I have the time to give them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I treat every dog like part of the family—whether we’re going for a walk, playing fetch, or just relaxing together. With a calm, patient nature and a flexible schedule, I can focus fully on your pet’s needs and routines. You can rest easy knowing they’ll be safe, happy, and loved like one of my own. I am recently retired and am available all of the time. I currently have two small dogs of my own and watching an additional dog would be no trouble at all. If you dog stays with me, they will be treated just like my own pet. I am able to walk them, feed them special diets, or administer oral medication. I am home almost all of the time and can give them the attention they need.

“Morgan has watched my dog a couple times and my dog comes home tired so I know she’s getting plenty of play time! She also has great availability and communication while dog sitting!”



“This was my first time using Rover and was a little apprehensive having Stella stay overnight with a stranger. When I met Chris ahead of time, I immediately felt this was a great fit for my mini poodle mix. I would definitely send Stella for vacation at her house while I am on one and allow her to come to my house to walk Stella in the future.”


“She did a great job with our Otto. He has fear anxiety and he was very comfortable with her and she treated him great and went above and beyond to make him feel at home. It was our son's wedding so her care of Otto made our weekend less stressful. We will use her again.”


“Avery is AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! She is patient and super loving to our puppy. She eased my anxiety about leaving our leaving our puppy for the first time. She sent pics and videos to keep us up to date on how things were going. Avery thank you!”


“Tyler kept good care of Scout when I had to go out of town. Scout doesn't care for stairs and Tyler was very patient with him. Tyler was the only sitter I reached out to that replied. I would not hesitate to have Tyler watch Scout again.”


About: I have 5 years experience training and boarding dogs. I have 2 Dutch shepherds, 1 shihtzu, and 1 rescue currently. I am a NePoPo silver school graduate. I have partnered in training many dogs in bitework, obedience, and scent detection. I actively compete in frisbee, dock diving, and many other dog sports. I have experience with non social dogs and take pride in safety. I currently work full time but am free in the early mornings and evenings for walking. My boyfriend is usually home during the day. I am very flexible. I take pride in safety. Dogs will always be leashed and will not interact with other animals unless discussed with the owner. Dogs will never be in direct contact with other dogs. If crated, will be in a crate in a room with other crated dogs.

“This was Stitch's first time staying somewhere that was not my home or my parents. He seemed to have a great time. Heather was great giving updates and sending photos while we were on vacation. They also accommodated as Stitch is an 8 year old boxer that does not like to be bothered by puppies or extremely energetic dogs. They ensured us he would be the only dog staying there. As soon as we walked in the kiddos stayed seated and waited for Stitch to go say hi to them and were very well behaved. Even with extreme anxiety both the dog and owner Heather helped us to get through our first trip away from one another.”


“Susan took excellent care of our Penny and sent daily updates and photos. We were very lucky to find a dog sitter who would provide the extra care and attention that our older dog needs.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kim is absolutely amazing! She has watched all three of my little dogs, and every time they’ve stayed with her, I’ve had total peace of mind. She treats them like they’re her own—loving, attentive, and so thoughtful. She sends regular photos and updates, which I really appreciate, and it’s clear from the pictures that the dogs are happy, relaxed, and totally comfortable in her care. I could tell they felt right at home! If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pups like family, I highly recommend Kim. She’s everything you could want in a sitter and more. 🐾”
