“Nicolas has helped to car for my cat for a few months while I was transitioning into a new home. When I came to visit my cat she was well loved, he helped trim her nails, and followed the directions exactly how I had asked of him for feeding her. He did a great job considering my cat has major anxiety.”

“Kaitlyn has been such a reliable and caring addition taking care of my fur baby. She has been consistently communicative while we're away, providing frequent updates and ensuring my kitty is given lots of love and playtime with her company. I highly recommend Kaitlyn as a responsible and trust worthy pet sitter.”


8. Mauriah G.
“Mauriah is a true pet lover. She has tolerance and patience with my animals when she takes care of them. She is also very trustworthy. I would not trust just anyone to get a copy of my house key to let herself in and care for my pets. You have to know that dogs are the equivalent to children- in fact they are the only children my husband and I have together. And as such, we expect the same amount of attention and love from anyone who meets them. Mauriah gives that attention and love and it is genuine.”

We will definitely use her again for future stays!”

About: Hello, I have been caring for animals pretty much my whole life. I’ve grown up around all different kinds of animals ranging from pigs, goats, sheep, tortoises, cats, and dogs. I am very knowledgeable about animals and I do have my veterinary assistant certificate. I am sure that I am more than capable of taking care of all your pets needs. I do very well with puppies and can work on teaching basic commands. I do have some grooming experience through my grandma who is a dog groomer and can bathe or do some grooming on your pet if needed before they go home. I currently work part time usually only two to three days a week/around 12-15 hours. So I am available all week majority of that day to be checking up and taking care of the animals. We have a shop at my house where my grandma grooms dogs part of the week. We also use it as a boarding facility we have a little yard attached to it were the dogs can go out. There is also two separate rooms inside so I am capable of watching two peoples pets at the same time. The animals will not be left alone for longs periods of time because they aren’t in the house I do go out there numerous times a day when boarding


13. Anne and Joaquin D.
“Great experience from meet and greet through the stay at our home. It was nice to have that piece of mind that our pups and kitties would be well taken care of. Will definitely be using them again.”


14. Erin W.
“Erin has been our wonderful dog sitter for the past 2 years. She stays at our home for several days or weeks depending on the need. She is great with our fur babies and they love her! I highly recommend Erin!”


15. Taylor S.

“Taylor followed all my instructions for watching my baby. She also sent updates and pictures, which put me at ease while I was away! I will use her again in the future!”


16. Faith G.
About: I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. For the past four years, I’ve had the joy of providing trusted pet care for lots of families, many of whom continue to rely on me time and time again. My daily life revolves around feeding, playtime, training, and plenty of belly rubs! I have hands-on experience with all life stages, from wiggly puppies to wise seniors needing medication and extra TLC. I’ve also cared for pregnant dogs, newborn litters, and pets with special needs. Whether your dog loves adventure, a structured routine, or extra snuggles, I make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and right at home. I have multiple dogs of my own, so my day naturally revolves around feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and exercise. When caring for a boarding dog, I make sure to integrate them into my routine in a way that suits their comfort level, whether that means structured social time with my dogs or providing a quiet, separate space for those who prefer it. I also work a part-time job, but when I am not working, I structure my day around the needs of the dogs in my care. Whether that’s sticking to their usual schedule, providing extra walks, play sessions, or ensuring they have a calm and relaxing environment, I do my best to make their stay feel like home. I make efforts to communicate with pet parents to ensure their dog's routine is followed as closely as possible. Safety, Trust & Environment At our home-based dog sitting service, we prioritize the comfort and security of every pet in our care. All foods and treats are stored in sealed, pet-proof containers and kept well out of reach to prevent any unauthorized snacking or potential allergic reactions. Each dog is provided with their own spacious, comfortable room for resting, sleeping, or whenever they need a quiet personal space. These rooms serve as safe retreats where dogs can decompress and feel secure. Our property features a fully fenced backyard where pets can enjoy fresh air and exercise in a secure environment. We have a dedicated dog room specifically for boarding dogs, which is kept separate from my personal dogs to ensure everyone's comfort and safety. Fresh, clean water is available at all times throughout our house. The boarding area is equipped with comfortable dog beds and plenty of doggie toys to keep our guests entertained and content. We carefully manage group dynamics and are prepared for all personalities. If two dogs don't seem compatible, they can be safely and comfortably separated while still enjoying their stay. Please note that we currently do not offer boarding services for cats - our house is designed specifically for canine guests. Our environment is designed to feel like a vacation for your furry family member, with safety measures thoughtfully integrated into every aspect of our care routine.
