“jean was great! my pup was a little unsure about meeting new people at first, but jean was very attentive and stayed in touch with us to make sure all of his needs were met”

About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and experience I bring. I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. While we don’t have a fenced yard, I prioritize frequent walks, outdoor time, and supervised potty breaks to ensure dogs stay active and engaged. We also have a friendly, goofy, and welcoming Golden Retriever who loves having dog friends and helps new pups feel comfortable quickly. I focus on consistency, safety, and making sure every dog feels at home, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is part of my daily routine, not an afterthought. I’m available to board your dog or provide care for a few hours, depending on your needs. I’m fully available on weekends, and I also work from home on Mondays and Fridays, allowing me to give your dog consistent attention and companionship on those days as well. I usually take our dog out every four hours. But depending on your dog needs, i can adjust.Depending on your pups needs, i can keep them separate from our dog or keep them together. I am flexible.

“Janette and her family were so wonderful watching our new puppy Simon! She proactively sent updates and Simon was treated like a member of the family. We’ll definitely be repeat customers!”

About: I currently work from home for a family business, but I am looking to expand my own business and passion - taking care of animals! I worked for doggy daycares and boarding facilities for 3.5 years, ensuring the safety, happiness, and health of a wide variety of dog breeds and ages. I have administered medications, completed dog handling courses, and grooming training as well. This led me to groom professionally full-time for 2 years after college. I now prefer to do at-home bathing sessions and spend more time with pets one-on-one in a homey environment. In addition to dogs, I have taken care of fish, cats, amphibians, lizards, and birds. I have a 9 year old bunny of my own, so I am well-versed in rabbit care. Throughout high school, I volunteered at PetSmart taking care of the cats and at Diane's Pet Supplies, too, walking their dogs. These are all in addition to being my primary neighborhood dog-sitter/walker. Pet sitting fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely with a highly flexible schedule. This allows me to adjust my day around your pet’s needs—whether that means regular walks, consistent feeding times, play breaks, or simply being present for companionship. I’m able to provide frequent check-ins. For stays in my own house, because I’m home throughout the day, your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and interaction. My flexible schedule also allows me to closely follow your pet’s routine and provide consistent, attentive care to keep them comfortable and well cared for. I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable care for every pet I look after. I’m happy to take your dog on walks, follow feeding instructions closely, and administer any medications as needed. When caring for your pet in your home, I make it a priority to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while you’re away. I also pay close attention to behavior and overall well-being, ensuring your pet stays happy, healthy, and at ease. If your dog is staying in my home, they’ll be treated just like my own. They’ll enjoy plenty of affection, attention, and enrichment throughout the day—including couch privileges, treats (as approved), and lots of cuddles. Because I work from home, your pet will have near-constant supervision and companionship, allowing me to closely monitor their safety, comfort, and health for a smooth and enjoyable stay!

“Tiffany is awesome! Lots of pictures, great yard space for the pups, and she very closely monitors how the dogs are interacting with each other. Thanks Tiffany!”

“Sarah was super sweet, and my little girlie had a blast playing with the other very nice dogs during the day. Sarah even stayed in the room with her when she had anxiety at night which is just so kind. I know that Matilda enjoyed the large outdoor areas to run and explore! Thank you, Sarah!”

“Alexa was amazing with our pup. She was super responsive and sent tons of pictures every day while we were gone. I highly recommend Alexa to anybody that needs a dog sitter that will treat your pups just as lovingly as you do.”

“We left Harper with Carole for 2 weeks while we were on vacation and Carole was great. Sent us daily photos of Harper playing with other dogs. Thank you Carole for taking such good care of her!”


“Very nice family that took great care of our dog. Very responsive with all communications and sent updates. Our dog required medicine and that was no issue. Would highly recommend and of course I would use again without hesitation. Thank you”

“Joel is prompt to respond. My dog can be uncomfortable meeting new people and dogs. Joel has a keen understanding of dog behavior and uses lots of positive reinforcement. He handles greetings, meal times, and playtime in a professional manner. I felt comfortable leaving my anxious dog in his care and my dog quickly warmed up to him, his wife, and his dogs.”

“Did a great job with my puppy Clover! He has puppy energy and they took it in stride and had lots of patience. I could not recommend them enough! Lots of pictures and always responded to messages”

“I had a great experience with Amanda. She was very friendly and communicative and conscientious. She is a very large, beautiful yard for the dogs to play. She also sent updates and photos.. I would highly recommend her.”

“Our pups loved Dawn and her beautiful home. She sent the cutest pictures and it felt like she treated Rosie and Newton as if they were her own. Highly recommend. Would use again in the future. Thank you!”

“Chonlada and her family are the absolute best dog caretakers!! Our dog, Duddles, had such a great time with them. Not only did they send regular photo and video updates, but they had fun play-time with her, gave her lots of snuggles, and regular treat breaks. Plus, their backyard is huge, fenced-in, and gorgeous, so lots of room for outdoor playtime! We could not recommend them more!”

“Julie and Caleb were absolutely amazing with our two boxers, Laila and Apollo! From the very beginning, their communication was outstanding—they kept us updated daily and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Laila and Apollo had the best time playing with their kids and running around their large property. It was clear they were treated like part of the family. Every photo showed two very happy pups! They came home tired from all the fun and full of love. We couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters and would trust Julie and Caleb again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”


“We had a great experience boarding our dog on Martin’s farm. Everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful from start to finish. They were able to accommodate a last-minute booking without hesitation and kept us updated along the way, which we really appreciated. Katiya came back happy, well cared for, and completely worn out in the best way. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.”

We had a very good experience with Sai. She took regular photos and communicated how things were going while we were out of town. She took really good care of our dog and we felt comfortable with how she handled every situation that arose. I would recommend her to anyone that needs dog sitting. She was great!
