Our dogs had a fabulous time with Mary while we were away for a long weekend! It was great to know they were in good hands, Mary caught some wonderful pictures of our senior dogs frolicking on the beach, and while they were excited to see us as usual, I’m not sure they wanted to come home.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my whole life. Animals have always been a big part of my world, and I feel a very deep and natural connection with them. I have a soft spot for pets who need extra love and patience, including blind dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, understood, and at peace. I also offer gentle Reiki for animals if they need extra calm, balance, or emotional support. Because I work online, I can spend the whole day with your pet—keeping them company, giving them lots of love, and making sure they always feel safe and cared for. I truly love what I do and treat every animal as if they were my own, with kindness, calm energy, and lots of affection. I work online, which allows me to spend the whole day caring for your pet. Your furry friend will have constant companionship, attention, and supervision throughout the day, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I create a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. Whether at my home or yours, I make sure their space is comfortable, secure, and stress-free. I supervise pets at all times, provide gentle guidance, and respect their individual needs and personalities. Your furry friend will always feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away.

My dog, Pete had a wonderful time with Brittany and Río! Brittany took him for super fun, active adventures every day and sent lots of picture updates. I booked with Brittany while in town for a trip and wish she lived closer so that Pete could stay with her more often. Highly recommend!!

Jeanine could not have been more wonderful! Her place is like a doggy oasis. Tons of room to play and a nice outdoor area. I felt so comfortable leaving my little princess with her. I could tell my dog had a good time! She got along with the other dogs great :)

About: I have been around and cared for dogs since I was in middle school. I have a deep care for dogs and believe giving them the absolute best life while they are with us is the only way to engage with them. I have a knack for training, it somewhat comes natural to me and I have the patience for it. Im happy to work with your dog to either reinforce or teach commands/tricks. Recently, I left my corporate job. I am taking time off to assess my next career move. Which means I have wide open flexibility and need to take walks to keep thinking. What a better way to do that than to have a walking companion! I do not have pets which means all of my attention goes to yours! There are two couches, a bed and a patio for your babe to enjoy. I am available around the clock to play, walk, teach.

Bradley and Carolyn took great care of our puppy while we were away for the week! She’s hesitant with new people but warmed to them quickly. They gave her the exercise and love she needed while we were gone and sent us a photo or 2 each day as a nice little check in. Pumpkin will miss them and we’ll be sure to reach out again!

Elizabeth was so amazing with our girl Gizmo and also just an excellent communicator. In every update, it was clear that Gizmo was happy and comfortable. Elizabeth asked some questions about caring for her that were thoughtful, and sent us pictures with cute anecdotes :) We were away for a while, so it was so comforting to know that Gizmo was well cared for, which she definitely was! Knowing this made the trip more relaxing. And when we had issues with our flights back, Elizabeth was flexible and made it easy to schedule a new pickup time.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life and have experience with both small and large breeds. I currently have two dogs of my own, a German Shepherd mix and an Australian Cattle Dog mix. As the owner of a reactive dog, I am experienced in handling reactive dogs. I also have experience working with high energy dogs, no dog is too much for me! In fact, I prefer dogs with a ton of energy, as it makes every experience more fun! My background allows me to provide the best care for your pups ♡ Currently, I’m a college student who is taking online classes at the moment making me available for your pups any day of the week. 😊 I ensure your pets stay on their usual routine, receiving the same care they’re used to. I will make sure their needs are met, whether it’s feeding, exercise, or training.

I would highly recommend and trust Honey with your fur baby. She was very friendly and fast to respond. She made it easy to drop off my pup by meeting her first and then introducing my dog to her Australian cattle dog. Honey also gave me updates, pictures and videos throughout the day. This eased my mind as It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter. I could tell my girl was happy and had a good day. Loved honey, her dog, and how she cared for mine.
