“Kayla & Richard were awesome, and super easy to work with! Our pup loved her pool time and playing with their kids and other dogs. It was like she was at summer camp! :) We were grateful to know that she was in great hands, being well-cared for and having a good time while we were away!”
“Gabrielle did a phenomenal job on taking care of Max. This trip was such a short noticed that she was able to accommodate us as soon as possible. She sent update a couple of times daily. Highly recommended! We will definitely use her again.”

“Roxie loved Maddison! Maddison treated Roxie like the little princess Roxie is. She took her on walks and gave her so much attention. Roxie is very anxious and when I picked her up from Maddison’s she was excited to see us but not anxious at all. I eould absolutely trust her with any of my animals and look forward to having h mer take care of Roxie again.”
About: Hey there! I’m LeeAnn 🙃 I’m here to help with your cutest, cuddly kitty and sweetest pupper needs! Whether I’m popping in for potty breaks, a quick stroll or making sure Whiskers can’t see there’s an empty spot in the food bowl (Cat parents, am I right?) Honestly I’m looking for something that allows the ability to create my own “flexible” schedule and be more present for my kiddos..the less furrier ones, although they act like wild animals! 🤪 I follow the instructions of the owners requests! In the summertime I am very mindful of the heat* I take a lot of shorter walks for the safety of myself and the dog - I want them to get their energy out but also don’t want the hot pavement burning their paws and/or a heat stroke for the animal nor myself. A lot of inside play consist of toy play! But again, I’m always going to be mindful of owner requests/demands
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I currently have 3 dogs that I’ve raised from puppies. I started off dog sitting for my family and some friends, ranging from small to large and young to old. I have experience administering medications such as pills, supplements, and needles. I’ll treat your pup just like my own! I work full-time, so I am available to do drop-ins and walks on the weekends. I can board your pup at my home on any day of the week if they are good with other dogs and babies. My husband works from home most days, so boarded dogs will receive care throughout the day while I am at work. Dogs are never left alone more than 6 hours. For drop ins and walks- I’ll follow your care instructions and provide you updates/pictures. For boarded dogs- We have a large fenced yard for our dogs to run around and play together! Dogs are free to roam the house but can be crated if needed.
“Grace was amazing! Our dog is an active 10 month old puppy and Grace handled her energy levels greatly! She gave us consistent updates and communication throughout the whole process was quick! Would definitely recommend using her to anyone!”
“Jack and Jordan were awesome sitters. Bumper was with them for seven days. They sent several photos that showed him enjoying his stay. Jack and Jordan were extremely easy to work with, super responsive, and very professional. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats as long as I can remember I love all animals big and small I used to work at an animal shelter and learned lots of useful skills Pet care is already part of my daily routine with my two sweet dogs, who love making new friends! I work from 9 AM to 6 PM, so my time with your pets will be before and after work. My mom is usually home by 3 PM. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine before booking to make sure my schedule is a good fit for their needs. I have a fenced yard and two very social doggos to keep your fur baby accompanied all day can also crate Your pet if needed
“I am very happy we found Sydney to watch our two dogs for a week! She was wonderful to work with and made sure to keep us in the loop by giving us updates and including some pictures of the puppers! We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Staci and her family are absolutely wonderful! We felt super comfortable leaving our puppy, Baker, in their care. She sent us several cute pictures on our trip that made us smile. We 100% recommend her and hope to use her boarding services again in the future.”
“Stephanie was phenomenal! We have two puppies, one high energy Aussie and one special needs lab. They stayed with her for a week surrounding Christmas and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She sent pictures and daily updates and took care of thier special needs with true compassion and competence.”
“I booked Brittany last minute and she was amazing!! Super quick to respond, very easy to work with, and made the whole process stress-free. My big baby doodles were well cared for and happy boys in all the pictures she sent! I’m so grateful for Brittany and will definitely book her again!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“In my professional opinion, it appears that the universe may have intervened to introduce Charlie into our lives. During an urgent situation, Charlie promptly arrived and assumed responsibility for our 80-pound PitBull. Naturally, I was concerned since our dog had never been left with anyone other than us. However, Charlie demonstrated exceptional competence in handling our pet, and Bentley responded with remarkable receptiveness. It is evident that Charlie possesses a unique talent in understanding and communicating with dogs, which makes him an ideal candidate for our full-time dog-sitting needs.”
“I cannot recommend her enough!! Leaving my 9-week-old puppy with someone for the first time made me so nervous, but she completely exceeded every expectation I had. From the moment I dropped my puppy off, I felt 100% at ease. She provided constant updates, and photos which meant so much to me and really showed how much she genuinely cares. My puppy had the absolute best time playing with her resident dogs and was so happy, stimulated, and loved the entire stay. Honestly, I don’t even think my puppy wanted to leave! That alone says everything. It’s clear she creates such a safe, fun, and loving environment for the dogs in her care. It is such a relief to have found someone I fully trust, and I will absolutely be booking with her again. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, she is the one!”
“Being new to the area and Rover,l literally hit the jackpot with Kristi and Robert! My babies were spoiled for over a week. I got daily photos and videos, proving they may have had more fun than me! They were safe, secure, and even made new friends which our Corgi loved. We will be repeat customers!”

Roxy had such a great time with Naomi. She was in constant contact with me to keep my anxiety level low. Roxy loves Naomi so much, that when we got home, she looked for her and whimpered. I will definitely be using Naomi again. She treated my baby with love and care as is she were her own. 💜 Thank you Naomi 🐕💜
Kalvin took good care of our dog Chico. Chico is a very happy doggie when we pick him up from Kalvin house. Kalvin takes him for walks, play with him, and comfort him during thunderstorms. We love the fact he only keeps one pet at a time. I would highly recommend using Kalvin to watch your furry baby.

Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
