“Natalie was amazing. My puppy Stella loved her stay and after playing with everyone for a week she’s worn out. I loved getting photos and videos while I was gone. Will 100% use Natalie again.”

About: I have been around dogs and cats for most of my life. In college, I worked at a boarding and training service for dogs. I currently have three of my own, and love being a dog mom. I treat my dogs like they are my children, and I enjoy being around animals all the time! I am a teacher, so during the summer months I have a lot of availability. I am looking to help out those who are busy or work during the summer. I can drop in to let out your pet and play with them for 10-15 minutes. For walking services, I will spend 30 minutes walking, and then play for 10-15 minutes. I have a spacious home and yard, but it is not fenced in. I always go outside with the pets and supervise them. We live in a safe neighborhood. My dogs are friendly and well-socialized; they enjoy being around other animals.
“We traveled from Pittsburgh to Marion for a family wedding and needed someone to watch our dog Paddington during the ceremony and reception, and Jennifer was wonderful! We got to meet her adorable Bulldog, Diesel, which was a great bonus. Jennifer's communication was excellent throughout, keeping us updated and sharing photos so we could fully enjoy the celebration without worry. We would absolutely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter!”

“Emily is the absolute BEST!! Hands down, the best sitter we could ask for while we travel. She’s attentive, engaged and genuinely cares deeply for Harry. Thank you doesn’t say enough!! Harry is disappointed to come home… so you know it was good time for him :)”

“I cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Amanda. She watched our 2 dogs this week, 2 separate times that we needed to travel overnight. You can tell she genuinely adores every dog she cares for and she is so great about sending updates and pictures. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for peace of mind when they have to be away from their fur babies.”

“We were concerned about boarding after infrequency……. After a day or so Emily was able to calm him and get him adapted! Dog looked content when we picked him up….. will use her again!!”

“Angellynn was absolutely great! She took wonderful care of my 8-year-old dog and treated her just like she was at home. Ginger loved all the attention she got from them. They played with her and loved her. I will definitely be taking Ginger to stay with Angellynn again. Highly recommend her!”

“Thank you so much for watching Pebbles. I could tell by all the pictures he sent me that Pebbles was in good hands. She was happy to stay there. He gave me the schedule he had for my dog and had all the details of the days she was in his care. I will 100% use him again. I highly recommend him. He always kept me update and sent plenty of pictures. Thank you so much!”

About: Hi! I’m Dallas! Your pet’s home away from home. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, reptiles, and even farm animals so caring for pets isn’t something I learned, it’s just how I’ve always lived. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from high energy pups to shy or more sensitive animals who need a slower approach. Now that my daughters are about to be in school full-time, I finally have the flexibility and extra time to focus on pet sitting and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. This also helps fund my love for traveling, so I take this seriously and treat it like a real responsibility, not just a side gig. We’re a pet loving household, and your pet will be treated like part of the family while they’re here. We have two dogs who are very friendly and loving, they’ll definitely want to make friends but full honesty, they can be a little yappy at times. We also have a cat who mostly keeps to herself and doesn’t bother anyone. For safety and quality of care, I only take one family at a time, so your pet will always get my full attention without the stress of a crowded environment. We don’t have a fenced yard, but your pet will still get regular walks, attention, and supervised time to stay active and happy. What you can expect from me: • A safe, structured, and loving home environment • Plenty of attention, interaction, and supervision • Regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing • Respect for your pet’s routine, preferences, and comfort level I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone else, so I do everything I can to make that decision easier and to make sure they feel right at home. My schedule is flexible and pet focused. I work part time as a hairstylist three days a week, but I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to make sure they get consistent attention, walks, and interaction. When I’m at the salon, my husband is home and helps maintain your pet’s routine, so they’re never left alone for long periods. Between the two of us, your pet will always have supervision, care, and plenty of attention throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I keep their routine as close to home as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or downtime. Since I only take one family at a time, your pet gets my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment. They’ll have plenty of interaction throughout the day, whether that’s playing, relaxing, or just being near someone whatever they’re used to. We don’t have a fenced yard, so all outdoor time is supervised, and dogs are either leashed or closely monitored to ensure safety. Walks and regular potty breaks are built into the day. I’m very mindful of different personalities and energy levels. My two dogs are friendly and social, but I always make sure introductions are done slowly and safely so everyone is comfortable. Our cat keeps to herself and typically stays out of the way. On days I’m at the salon, my husband is home to help maintain your pet’s routine, so they’re never left alone for long periods. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely to keep everything consistent and stress free feeding, walks, medications, and any specific preferences you have. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Very pleased with Haleigh. When I wasn’t able to take my dogs to her for the initial meet and greet, she instead came to my house and brought her rescue pup to make sure our dogs were compatible. She monitored all dogs’ social behavior for over an hour just for good measure. She was very quick to correct any concerning behavior. I appreciated that she was able to take my pups on short notice when the previous sitter canceled on me last minute. During the visit itself, she sent me pictures and commentaries to update me on their wellbeing, or to inform me of any concerns. I trusted that she knew how to keep her dogs and my dogs safe. They were kept indoors nearly all times. I’d recommend her services.”
