“I am so lucky I found Kristin! My girl, Emmy, recently became an only dog and I was worried about how she would do when I went on vacation. Judging by the daily messages and pictures, it looks like Emmy had as much fun on her vacation as I did on mine! It gave me so much peace of mind to know she was part of a family. Thank you for taking such great care of Emmy.”


“Dana was amazing. I had only had my dog for a month and I needed to find a sitter for a week. The meet and greet with Dana went so well I didn't even bother meeting the other sitters. Her home is like paradise for dogs! She has several dogs of her own and also fosters dogs. She has a fenced in yard and a cozy living room, where the dogs can roam freely. While my dog was there, she sent me a message with pictures every day! This was especially appreciated. I highly recommend Dana. I could not have been happier with her service!”


“Holly took wonderful care of our dogs during their recent weekend stay. She gave them lots of exercise with walks and a run in a fenced area, and lots of love and attention when they were having quiet times. Holly and her family treated our dogs like they were part of the family, and the dogs quickly grew comfortable with their new surroundings. She kept us updated on their activities with quick texts and pictures so that we knew how well they were doing. I appreciated that Holly had us stop by for a meet and greet first so that everyone could get acquainted.”


“This is the third time we’ve boarded our 2 Coton de Tulear pups with Melisa. Again terrific. She is easy to communicate with, totally herself, with nice school age kids and a fenced in yard off the kitchen’s that is great for hours of play. My dogs come home well-cared for, happy and exhausted. And this year, when we couldn’t get into our house after vacation because refinished floors hadn’t dried, Melisa was kind enough to keep our dogs a few extra days. A life-saver. Thanks again!”


“Nick was great for an overnight with my dogs Crackerjack and Honey. They were exhausted when they came home and were well-loved while in NIck's care. He, his fiance, and their dog Eva make for a warm family to take care of my dogs!”


“My dog Whitney had a great time staying with Albert and Amanda! I can be an anxious dog mom but I felt so safe leaving Whitney in their care. They were super flexible and the pictures they sent were absolutely adorable. Will be using their services again!”


“Just returned from a 6 day vacation during which time Laura took care of my 3 dogs including a very rambunctious young puppy. I was so grateful that she would take my new pack member (the puppy )which was not originally planned . I can only give a glowing and appreciative recommendation of Laura to care for your pets. I hope to use her again in the future.”

“I appreciated that Shelby was willing to do a meet and greet with our dogs on such a short notice. I ended up having to cancel last minute but she was very communicative, attentive, and I’d definitely look to book with her again!”


“We left our dog with Chelsea for a night while we were at a wedding in the area. She was responsive and our dog got to play with her dog and another dog at the same time. She had a big yard that they could run around in.”


“I left my Baby (Mr. Prince) with Ms. Geneva and will plan to have her sit for us again. She was courteous and polite. She kept me updated on how he was doing as well as sent pictures. This really eased my mind without me even asking her to. I met her the day before and felt comfortable. I highly recommend her for sitting and as I stated earlier, I plan to utilize her services again.”


“I was extremely nervous leaving our 1 year old with someone other than my family as she hasn't left us since we adopted last July. However, my fears were calmed leaving Demi with Nuno. My husband had a great meet and greet and then she stayed with Nuno for a couple nights. Nuno has a wonderful friendly dog, Bisca, and a large yard for the dogs to play. He also has children who showered Demi with love also. ❤️ Great communication while he watched her and I'm already booking him again for our next weekend away!”



“Mary Jo took excellent care of Dexter!! All of his medicines and quirky maintenance items were taken care of. It was so nice to come back to him knowing he was well cared for.”


“Terry was absolutely wonderful. She was warm and observant and compassionate; I suspect Milo might be missing her today. No doubt THAT is the best compliment I can give. He’s not like that with everyone. I’d work with Terry again in a heartbeat.”


About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since age 10. I am experienced caring for breeds of all sizes, and am familiar with anxiety/aggression handling, and positive-reinforcement & clicker training. I can also provide specialized care for puppies and seniors. Your pet's well-being and your comfort is my top priority. As a full-time remote worker, I'm immersed in a flexible routine, ensuring your pet's needs seamlessly integrate into my day. With scheduling autonomy, I prioritize their well-being around my work, providing the attention and care they deserve. Your furry friend will thrive in a structured yet adaptable environment tailored to their unique needs. In my home or yours, pet care is personalized to suit their needs. Whether it's providing a cozy and familiar environment for them at my place or maintaining their routine in the comfort of their home, I ensure a tailored approach. Each service I offer is designed to create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for your cherished pet.

“Everything was done as requested. They sent pictures and texts. My dog was returned to me in good health and happy. I would call on Izabel and Zach again when I need someone.”



“Michael is great!!!!!! My dog was very happy when I picked her up. Michael is definitely good at taking care of dogs, and I would ask him next time when I need a sitter!!! Thanks Michael! You are the best!!!”


About: I have loved and cared for all kinds of animals since I was young. Having every animal from cats to dogs, birds and guinea pigs, hamsters, snakes, lizards, turtles, and birds! I have experience training dogs as well as training service dogs. I can care for animals from birth to their senior years. I can safely bathe animals, feed, administer medication, and give souch love to them! I have a very flexible routine that allows me to accommodate the needs of many pet parents! I can make adjustments as needed and am happy to spend time with your loved four legged friend! I keep a clean, safe space for the animals I visit with. Unless otherwise noted, I keep a variety of treats and toys on hand and keep a large gravity water bowl available at all times.

About: I've had dogs my entire life, and love them all. From Yorkies to Great Danes, and everything in between, I've cared for pets for friends and family. I currently work a mix of mornings and afternoons at a local boarding facility. I'm available for daycare on my days off, and available for boarding any day. Your pets will be kept safe and sound at my home while I'm working. Based on your preference, they will either be crated, left loose in a spare room, or placed in a boarding style private kennel while I'm away. I have a fenced yard, with four pups of my own and rotating fosters. My house is set up to allow plenty of room for everyone without requiring the groups to mingle. For pups who aren't fans of other dogs I am able to maintain complete separation if needed. My own dogs are crate trained, and I always have a spare crate if that's what yours is comfortable with, but it isn't required.

About: With over 2 decades of hands-on experience, I have taken care of most breeds of dog, many cats, fish, reptiles, and birds as well! I have an older sister who is a veterinarian and she has passed down care tips essential for perfect pet care. I worked in a dog kennel for three years and was in charge of 20+ dogs and cats a day, their feeding schedules, play groups, medications, and decent and basic care such as baths and grooming. Mornings are filled with cuddles, complete feedings, morning walks, and kisses before my partner and I head off to work. While at work, pets are in a climate controlled environment with multiple cameras on at all times. Water is placed in every room, and safe secluded areas can also be provided. Given I have my own pets, their care is my #1 priority. I have cameras with motion sensor notifications allowing me to check in frequently, and do not work far from my home incase an animal needed immediate attention. Pets are always given attention ad soon as the work day is finished, and spending time with them is always a joy!
