Was super nervous to use this service but Kathleen assured me all would be well and kept my mind at ease anytime I asked for some assurance that my pet was doing okay. Super friendly and my puppy took to her immediately (something I had not seen before honestly). Tagged on a bath and nail trim to the stay and my pet was smelling super fresh all the way home. 10/10 would recommend.

Danielle is AWESOME!! Roxy had a great time with her and her dogs and kids are amazing! She sent me photos during the day and let me know how Roxy was doing. She takes her for nice walks and gets plenty of exercise and fun. I'm super happy with the care Roxy gets at her house. Thanks!

About: I have a half acre of fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. I’ve had pets in my family my whole life: always dogs, a few cats over the years, a house rabbit, hamsters, ducks, fish, lizards, turtles - so many lovely creatures! I’ve worked with rescues and shelters and have taken care of elderly dogs at the end of their lifespan administering medications orally, injections, and topically. For my other job I do freelance graphic design from home and make my own schedule, so I’m very flexible with my schedule. When pet sitting at my home your pet will have my company throughout the day. I offer check ins, feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after all pets and livestock at their home. I board dogs and caged pets overnight or for multiple days at my home where dogs have access to a fenced yard at any time of the day, full time supervision, and cozy accommodations.

Karla was a great dog sitter, easy to communicate with and she quickly sent me a picture of her dog Poppy and mine having fun. Her house was easy to find and she was very welcoming. I would definitely use her again.

About: My genuine love for animals, experience with various breeds and special needs, beautifully fenced in yard by the water, and emphasis on love and patience collectively set me apart as a dog sitter who provides exceptional care and creates a loving environment for the dogs entrusted to me. I don’t have any pets of my own right now, which makes it extra fun to spend time with yours! 🐾 Let’s set up a meet-and-greet so I can meet your pup and you can see how much fun we’ll have together! I like to start the day with a quick potty break followed by some playful yard time to get the wiggles out, then it’s straight to breakfast. During the day we’ll stroll around the neighborhood, sniff out some new spots, and say hi to fellow furry friends. Maybe even hop in the car for a little adventure or park visit. By evening it’s all about winding down, cozy vibes, and a yummy dinner to wrap up a tail-wagging day! I care for pets by stepping into their paws and seeing the world the way they do! They thrive when we keep a routine that feels familiar, filled with their usual play, walks, and snuggles. To make them feel right at home, please bring along any favorite toys, blankets, or other comfort items they love.

Debbie has a lovely home and my dear pups were treated like honored guests. The meet and greet let me know Jasper and Millie were in good hands. Debbie’s entire family welcomed our dogs. I felt like I had an entire team to meet their needs with Debbie as captain. I appreciated the photos and texts to know our family pets were In good hands.

Maple absolutely loves staying with Carolyn. Coco ( a precious little Cockapoo) being there was a real bonus. They took several walks, and the two happy dogs played together all afternoon. Carolyn sent numerous pictures during Maple's stay with her. Thank you Carolyn we will definitely see you again!

About: I’m a dedicated volunteer for a nonprofit animal shelter and a certified veterinary assistant with formal training. With over 30 years of experience in foster care and pet sitting, I provide compassionate, reliable care tailored to each animal’s needs. Specialized Care Offered: Insulin administration Subcutaneous fluid therapy Skilled handling of reactive or special-needs dogs Medication administration and monitoring My Home Setup: Safe, supervised in-home dog care with a fully fenced yard Separate quiet area inside the home specifically for cat sitting Clean, calm environment designed for comfort and low stress I’m proud to have loyal, returning clients for over a decade, and I treat every animal like part of the family. If you’re looking for experienced, trustworthy, and compassionate care, I’d love to help. Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm—I plan my day around feeding, exercise, and medical needs, ensuring each pet gets consistent, attentive care. However, I do outside of the home and have live cameras to ensure complete safety. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your established routine to keep your animal feeling safe and stress-free. I maintain consistent feeding times, administer medications as directed, provide walks and enrichment, and keep the home tidy during my stay. I carefully observe behavior and appetite, send regular updates, and make sure your pet receives the same love and attention you give them. My goal is to maintain comfort, structure, and security while you’re away.

About: I’m known to host pups while my friends are out for the evening or for the weekend. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs whether it be lounging or going for a walk! I’m currently working from home and love having a furry companion during my daily walks. I love cuddling up with a dog and watching reality tv on weeknights. The community I live in has a dog park and trails nearby to provide pups with plenty of movement, sunlight, and quality time in and outside the home.

About: Hi! I’m Cynthia, a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My journey with pets started at 15, when I cared for my sister’s Rottweiler, Bear. Since then, I’ve worked at a pet store caring for dogs, volunteered with local shelters including Orphans of the Storm, Heartland Animal Shelter, and Border Tails Rescue, and fostered several pups in need. I’ve also opened my home to fosters, including Canelo (an Australian Shepherd mix) and my sweet boy Onyx, who both hold a special place in my heart. While they’ve since crossed the rainbow bridge, I currently have a dog in the home and continue to foster. I’m very mindful about introductions, routines, and making sure all dogs feel safe and comfortable. 🐾 What I Offer: Loving, safe, and structured care for dogs of all sizes Experience with seniors, rescues, and special needs pups Walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet your pup and give them the love and care they deserve! 💛 I work from home Monday through Friday and I’m home most weekends, which means your pup will get lots of love and attention throughout the day. My home is calm, quiet, and child-free — perfect for dogs who enjoy a relaxed environment. I’m rarely away for long, and if I do step out, it’s only for quick errands. Your dog will never be left alone for extended periods and will always feel safe and cared for. In my home, your dog will always be treated like family. Dogs are welcome to relax on the couch and make themselves comfortable, but I also encourage owners to bring a familiar bed, blanket, or crate to help their pup feel at home. I love spending time outdoors and enjoy going on daily walks, so your dog will get plenty of fresh air and exercise (at their pace and comfort level). Safety is always my top priority — I supervise pets closely indoors and outside, and I only use secure leashes and harnesses on walks. Every dog is unique, so I do my best to follow your routine as closely as possible. Whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, giving extra snuggles, or maintaining training cues, I want your pup to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
