“Rhino was happy and pooped out on the evenings I got home after his walks.”


“Our sweet Po’Boy loves Abby so much!! The moment I say she’s on her way to pick him up his tail starts wagging and he runs to the door - you know that’s a good sign! Abby is an excellent communicator and has been such a huge help during our busy work days! I can always count on her to be on time and enthusiastic when she shows up for our pup! Will continue using her services and suggest you do too!”

About: I’ve taken care of rescued and owned dogs since I was little. My parents were dog lovers and that’s where I got it from. I grew up in a home with rescued greyhounds and Italian greyhounds. My parents were very involved in dog shows and that’s where I learned a lot about dogs. When I was in middle school, I got my own rescued Italian greyhound and that’s where I started to learn on how to train dogs. I’ve grown in the training throughout the years with puppies, service dogs, and senior dogs. The biggest thing I’ve learned with working with all types of dogs is that they become family with the unconditional love they give. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to care and play with your pets. I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 10A. I have a fenced yard and a friendly chiweenie to keep your fur baby company. I live in a pet friendly neighborhood where it has its own field for dogs to run around and play with each other. I can easily crate your dog if needed. They have access to proper food and water, a safe environment, regular exercise, scheduled bathroom breaks, and most importantly, consistent communication with the pet owner regarding their specific needs and routine.

About: I’ve been in love with cats for as long as I can remember, there has always been room for a cat in my home, I grew up with three cats.

I’m working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to visit your kitty whenever suits their schedule. I usually have weekends free, and during the weekdays, I’m free after 2 pm. I’ll gladly send you pictures and video updates of your sweet kitty! I have a good space in my apartment. Unfortunately, I don’t have my kitty here, so that I can focus all my time and affection on your kitty.

About: I’ve cared for puppies since the day they were born to the day they learned their basic needs. I quickly learned how to feed bathe and walk these baby puppies I love animals so much and try to base my whole life around them. When I see a puppy on any walk I take I try my best to pet it and compliment how adorable they are. I am very gentle with others pets. I can easily work with the dogs to get the outcome we both need. I can easily become a good caregiver if needed.

About: * please complete your pet's profile and answer the questions below before submitting a booking request* We believe a tired dog is happy dog so your dog will taken on long walks (if they are physically able) and have off leash playtime in our large fenced backyard when boarding with us. We have pet gates to provide your pet with a quiet place if they need some quiet time to settle in. We will also make sure all pets are separated during feeding times. We have a 6 year old son, 2 dogs and a cat. Our dogs interact with other dogs regularly at dog parks and off leash beaches and love to play. We specialize in puppies and young dogs. We find that they fit into our lifestyle and match our dogs' temperaments. I work from home so I can accomodate most dog's routines. I rarely leave clients alone in my home. If I do need to be out of the home for more than 45 minutes I do discuss it with clients first. I have a large fenced backyard, baby gates to separate dogs during feeding times and I do not leave dogs together unsupervised. I also do not allow my child to interact with client's dogs unsupervised.

“Gianni was thorough, kind and went above and beyond walking Doc. He left detailed reports and, on a hot day, took some breaks in the shade to let Doc cool down a little. Will definitely book again.”

About: After trying to find a sitter for my own dog, I realized how expensive dog boarding was. So I wanted to offer people a cheaper alternative. If you are looking for an at home feel kinda stay then this is it! I'm not a professional, but I love dogs. I love playing with dogs, walking them, and giving lots of snuggles. I have always owned at least one dog and have experience with lots of different breeds. I have a gentle voice that even shy dogs open up to me. I enjoy grooming dogs and making them feel special. I am a stay at home mom so your fur baby would have constant care and companionship. I have a pretty open availability and am very flexible. I can provide care in my home or in yours. I have 2 children, a 1 year old and 8 year old, so if your dog isn't comfortable around children I would have to go to your home.

About: I have been dogsitting for family and friends for 10 years. I work full time as a veterinary technician/Veterinary nurse. I love animals big and small. I will be working three 12 hour shifts, so I will have 4 days off each week. The days that I work will change from week to week. So just get a hold of me and we can work something out schedule wise. I have dogsat in the past. Some have had 1 dog to 5 dogs. I have watched dogs, cats, squirrels, chinchillas, and rabbits. I have a corgi, his name is Nugget and he is 3 years old. He gets along great with other dogs. So if your dog loves the company of other dogs, nugget could join in on the walks as well! I work three 12's but I am available Mondays, Thursday- Saturday! I do have a second job on the weekends and my own pets. So I would need to work around those priorities as well! I do not offer pet sitting in my own home but a clients home is perfectly fine! I do require meeting you and your pets prior to staying and require any behavior or aggression issues to be known.

About: Dogs bring me pure joy! Ever since I was a baby, we have had dogs. And with two sisters and a lot of traveling for sports, we all had to learn to care for them. 25 years later, I still have the same passion and love for all dogs! Eventually neighbors and friends asked me to watch their furry friends while they were away. I have cared for puppies, young dogs, old dogs, big dogs, little dogs, sick dogs, active dogs, and dogs that just want to cuddle! I can do everything from a drop by/quick walk, a pick up and play date, or an overnight watch! I am not afraid of any breeds or sizes, and the more the better! If you let me care for your best friend, you and your dog will be happy! I am available most weekdays after 4PM, and occasionally weekends. I am an event coordinator, so my schedule fluctuates quite a bit. But when I’m off I’d love to care for your dog! I currently live on the third floor of an old house next to a large river. Due to this, I do not have any dogs right now. Small dogs do well in my apartment, or of course I’ll come to you!
