About: From dogs, cats, gerbils, and even pigs, I’ve been taking care of a variety of pets since I was a kid. I’ve always had a passion for animals and would love to be considered for taking care of yours! I’m a stay-at-home mom who can dedicate the time to be there for your pet when you’re afar. Since I am home a majority of the day, if not all, I’m only a step away from your pet making sure his/her needs are taken care of. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs of my own. They are getting up there in age, so they tend to keep more to themselves (when they aren’t sleeping).

About: With years of experience in high-end dog training, sitting, and walking, I offer more than just pet care—I provide expert, personalized attention for your dog. I understand canine behavior on a deep level, ensuring your pup feels safe, engaged, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s reinforcing good manners, going on structured walks, or providing calm companionship, I treat every dog like my own. I currently work from home with a flex work schedule, which makes me available for pet care anytime. I can work my schedule to be tailored to your pets needs. I have a large back yard and dogs of my own to keep your fur baby company. For walks, I tailor each to your fur baby’s needs, spending more time outside with high energy dogs, and taking shorter walks for older pets. All walks and care come with the most snuggles.

“Amazing experience. Gabby was a very easy going and cared well for our dogs. She is a professional and I highly recommend her. Once you meet her, your mind will be at ease knowing your pets and safe and sound in her care. Great communications throughout the experience. 100% recommend and will call on her again!”


About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of animals my whole life. I treat each pet like a cherished family member, and not just a job. I emphasize building trust, understanding individual pet personalities, and providing compassionate, attentive care that goes beyond basic feeding and watering. I work from home full time and can step away from my desk at anytime. If you have nervous dogs that can’t be left alone for long periods of time, my schedule allows me to work from anywhere and I can spend the day with them. I can easily take care of all your pets needs, walks? You got it. Sitting with your dog through a thunderstorm? Absolutely. I want to make sure that your dog doesn’t get thrown out of their routine, when I’m coming into others homes.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I can play with them, pick up after them, bathe them and make sure they’re happy and well fed. And I can take the dog on short or long walks and make sure they’re happy and safe. Also for house sitting I’ll make sure the house is clean and any messes the dog makes is cleaned up as well I’m a student at an online university, but I am taking a break from perusing my BS in forensic accounting. So I have plenty of time to watch your pets. I have two dogs that I take care of with my family. And they are well cared for and I play with them throughout the day and feed them when they need to be fed.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life. You can rest assured your pups, big and small, will get all the love and attention while you’re away. I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday, but have three pups of my own at home and can board additional pups overnight during the week and can do daytime walks on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and keep your pets separated from my household pets unless they are long-time visitors and we know everyone gets along well.

“I cannot recommend Matthew enough for his exceptional care and attention to detail when it comes to taking care of furry friends. Knowing that your beloved pet is being looked after with such love and care allows you to enjoy your time away without worry. I loved the pics provided and updates. He really made him feel loved and part of his family while dropping in.”

She gives my dogs tons of attention and pack like walks. Even going further than expected on the beautiful days. I can not say enough great things about her.

Mason M.
“I can’t recommend Mason highly enough when it comes to dog care. From the very first meeting, it was clear that he genuinely loves animals and understands their needs. My dog, who’s usually shy around new people, warmed up to him almost immediately—a true testament to Mason’s calm and caring nature. Whether it’s regular walks, feeding, playtime, or just spending time keeping my pup company, Mason goes above and beyond. He’s reliable, communicative, and always treats my dog like his own. I never have to worry when my dog is in Mason’s care, and that peace of mind is priceless.

Dannielle C.
“If I had to describe Dannie with 1 word, I'd say she's exceptional. My GSD is not at all friendly towards strangers. Before I knew it, Dannie and my GSD formed a friendship. I'm very uncomfortable boarding my GSD. Dannie is the ONLY person I trust. I'm going on vacation next month for almost a week. I'm so happy. I would've cancelled my trip if Dannie couldn't dogsit for me. I've seen them together; Dannie definitely has a way with dogs. I love watching my GSD and Dannie together. I would highly recommend her. Thanks to Dannie, I can enjoy my trip without worries.”
