About: At 13 I had the privilege of being a doggy mom, I wouldn’t replace the moments for a thing! I love dogs and they deserve to feel safe and cared for. ROD dog lover! I am now 20 and my bestie for the restie is my fur baby🥰 I am currently doing online school and have a flexible work schedule.

They are very accustomed to our home and are very well trained!
“Amy was amazing! I left my cat Dino in her care for over a week, and she was very communicative, kind, and caring for my cat. By the end of his stay, he was even cuddling with her throughout the night because of how comfortable he was. Will definitely book again! 10/10 service would recommend”

About: Hi! I’m a 29-year-old lifelong dog lover, and caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve never gone a day without dogs in my home since I was 3 years old! I grew up with two Rottweilers, then two German Shepherds. Having experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and making every dog feel safe and loved. I recently said goodbye to my senior dog, which made me appreciate even more how special the bond between people and their pets truly is. I understand that dogs are family, and I would treat your fur baby with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. My dogs are friendly and enjoy being around other dogs, and I’m happy to help provide a comfortable environment for pups who enjoy canine companionship. I live in a three-bedroom apartment with plenty of indoor space for dogs to relax, play, and feel at home. I also understand that some dogs may need their own space or may be more comfortable staying separate from other pets. If you have any concerns about your dog needing separation, I have crates and additional rooms available to help keep them safe, comfortable, and relaxed while in my care. I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine and any specific instructions you provide. Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles, companionship, or simply having someone nearby to make them feel comfortable, I’ll do my best to make their time with me a positive experience. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I want every pet parent to feel confident knowing their dog is being cared for with love, patience, and attention. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐶❤️ I work at the post office four days a week, starting at 6 AM and typically getting home around 230 PM. I also work just 3 minutes from home, so getting back quickly if needed is never a problem! I walk my dogs 3–4 times a day: before work, after work, after dinner, and before bed. After work, I come straight home to walk and feed them, and 9 times out of 10, I’m bringing home treats for them, too! 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine, and I make sure every dog receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I treat every dog like family and want both pets and their parents to feel comfortable and confident
“Best Doggy sitter ever! This is my puppy's 2nd home. Thank you Candace and Francesca for making Sunny feel at home, every time she's with you. She's always so happy to see you.”
About: Every pet has feelings, a unique personality, and a need to feel loved. I believe pet sitting is more than just feeding and watching animals. It’s about making sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your pet with patience, kindness, and attention, taking the time to understand their needs and make them feel at home. Your pet deserves more than a sitter. They deserve someone who truly cares. I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate each pet’s individual needs, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I strive to maintain your pet’s usual routine while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide pet care exclusively in my own home, which has a fenced-in yard where pets can enjoy outdoor time under supervision. I also have a friendly small dog, and I understand that meeting a new dog can take time. I’ll make introductions slowly and patiently, always prioritizing each pet’s comfort and keeping a close eye on their interactions. I want every pet to feel safe, relaxed, and welcome. My goal is to provide a clean, loving environment where your furry friend can enjoy a true home away from home while you’re away.
“My dog was so calm after I picked him up boarding with Kyla. Energetically, I could tell that he was very well taken care of with her - no stress, no anxiety, just peace. TY KYLA!!!”
“Ashley was great! She sent lots of updates and helped reassure me that my little girl was in good hands. She was very considerate and only accepted additional bookings for dogs that she thought would get along well with my pup. Overall, I was very impressed with Ashley and would highly recommend!”
About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart since childhood! 🐾 I have hands-on experience raising a puppy from 11 weeks old to one year old, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding a dog’s needs at different stages of development. I also regularly help care for my sister-in-law’s animals, including both dogs and cats. Having a veterinarian in the family has given me opportunities to be around animals and learn more about their care. I’m gentle, attentive, responsible, and careful with every animal I look after. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or shy and needs a little extra patience, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I would give my own. ❤️🐶🐱 I work full-time Monday through Friday until 2:30 PM, so I’m available for pet care during weekday afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. I can plan my schedule around your pet’s needs and am happy to provide attentive, loving care, whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or keeping your cats company while you’re away. I’m committed to being reliable, flexible, and making sure your pets feel safe and loved! 🐾❤️ I have a home with a half-acre fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy outdoor time, play, and explore safely under my supervision. 🐶🐾 I believe every pet deserves a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. When caring for pets in my home, I would follow their usual routines for feeding, playtime, exercise, and rest, while giving them plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I would respect their space and carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, medications if needed, and any special care requirements. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. I’m gentle, responsible, and attentive, and I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and individual needs. ❤️
“I left my dog with Dara for 2.5 weeks and I did not worry about him at all. Finding a good Rover is tricky especially that my dog is reactive and can’t stay with other dogs. She consistently sent updates with photos and I loved hearing about his little quirks! I appreciate her celebrating his birthday too! I can tell that my dog had a great time, we highly recommend Dara!”
“Jennifer and her husband were great! Helped me out last minute due to a family emergency and watched my dog for 3 days with no problems! Sent me a video every day :) Would bring my dog back here for sure!”
“Steven & Amanda have elevated pet boarding into an art form. The hospitality and care that they administered to my puppy would make one question if they’re an extension of Ritz Carlton. True luxury care. They treated my puppy as if she was their own and she truly adored them. My dog is a cavachon and she is very skiddish, however she warmed up to them quickly. Multiple pictures were sent of her laying in Amanda’s & Steven’s lap completely enamored with them. I know that she felt right at home! Amanda & Steven are now our extended family, and I don’t trust anyone more with my dog. The sweetest couple!”
“Another great stay with Tamara! Ollie had so much fun and she always sends pics and has great communication. She even dropped Ollie back home which was super helpful after a day of travel. Tamara is AWESOME!”
“Highly recommended. Raymond exceeded our expectations. Our 1.5 year old German Shepard was boarded and well cared for during our travels. We received plenty of photos and videos of Korra throughout her stay. She ate well and got plenty of excercise. Raymond asked many questions about her prior to boarding. She was loved and her needs were cared for throughout her stay. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was very happy every day we were away from her. Thank you Raymond!!”
“Katie was very caring and did a great job with our pup! He really enjoyed his stay! She was very attentive and made sure he had everything he needed.”

Niyah did an amazing job taking care of my puppy! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, which gave me so much peace of mind. She provided updates, was attentive, and clearly cared for my pup as if she were her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring.
