About: I've had dogs my whole life and for the past 20 yrs it has been the Rat Terrier breed. They require lots of attention and have high energy. I love it.

I currently am willing to go to your home for visits and check ins as I am not sure that my furry friends would like others here. I think it would be too stressful for all of them.

“Sarah took excellent care of my dogs. The whole experience was easy for me and even better than I had anticipated. The daily photos were wonderful. They obviously love her now, which is always nice for me when I travel.”

“She went above and beyond in every way when it came to dog sitting our puppy Mia. Always on time, took her time with Mia, and went out of her way to make sure her needs were met. She did so great that our dog is gonna miss her! Glad I didn’t go with any other option. Brooke is a true blessing!”

“Brooke was amazing. Her communication was great the entire weekend. I appreciated how she treated my Ryder like she was her dog every visit. From keeping my dog dry clean with the heavy rain to her feedings and medications being administered, I could not ask for better care. Her pictures and visit notes were so detailed they brought me joy while I was working knowing my puppy was in great hands. I will definitely be rebooking with her when in need again.”

About: I started taking care of the family dog a few years ago. With him, I administered medication in a positive way and helped train him. I am comfortable using a harness and a regular collar. I also helped train my senior dog on his reactivity with positive reinforcement. Currently, I am on summer break. I work as a teacher during the school year, so my availability for the next few months is open. At my apartment, my roommate’s dog I take out every 2-3 hours and I give him lots of cuddles. I keep an eye out for anything around me to make sure it is safe.

About: Hi there- I have been fostering pets for the local animal shelter and discovered that integrating new human friends into our home environment was a breeze. Like children, our animal friends need love, reasonable boundaries, set routines, and good nutrition, not to mention a 1/2 acre fenced yard that provides plenty of room to roam. My family and I have worked together to ensure that the pets we foster develop the habits necessary for adoption. As pet owners of our Havanese mix, Maggie, we know how frustrating and stressful last-minute travel can be. We stand ready to make your life easier by treating your family member like one of our own. We will take good care of your pet, and we hope they will want to come back.

About: I love all animals, but dogs are my favorite! I raised a miniature schnauzer for 15 years (RIP Dooney). I now have a senior rescue named, Layla Grayce. I’ve volunteered at many animal shelters and have fostered dogs as well. I will love your fur baby just as they were my own! Thank you for trusting me and allowing me the opportunity to look after your fur baby 💕🐶🐱😊 I work remotely from home. This flexibility allows me to make myself available as needed for your pets needs. I will honor your pups schedule for all feedings, walks, and potty breaks. Layla would be a great companion for your pup as she is gentle and calm. At bedtime, I can crate your pup or allow them to roam my home. I will give them the attention they deserve while doing my best to make sure they feel safe and at home. I’ll also take photos and provide frequent updates while I care for your fur baby :)

About: There are very few times in my life that I haven’t owned a dog. I grew up with dogs and my husband and I currently own two dogs- big lovable knuckle heads who will love to meet your dog. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of opportunities for play time. We both currently work from home, so I am able to dedicate a lot of time and supervision to your dog! I have always had a family dog growing up. We have an older german shepherd who believes age is just a number and a mastiff mix who has no clue how big he is. Both dogs are very friendly and love to play. They are very open to visitors and new friends! Please feel free to contact me at any point if you have any questions. I work from home 3-4 days per week so I have the capability of full time supervision and frequent potty or outside breaks. I work a normal 8-5 job. My back yard is fully fenced in so no chance of escape. We also have a back door that leads directly to the back yard. I have two dogs of my own I care for so adding an additional dog doesn’t change much for me so long as your dog isn’t nervous around big dogs. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to host dogs at my house or go for walks. I have flexibility over the days I have to go in to the office. My two dogs are my first babies - spoiled rotten. They are couch surfing, bed snuggling, snack eating, playful boys that always invite other pups to join in on the fun (if allowed)

“She was absolutely amazing with all my fur babies. We work such long hours and we’re scared to leave our new puppy home alone for so long and she made us feel so much more comfortable and her feedback was always so informative! Will definitely book again!”

About: I have been a dog owner for most of my life, learning to care for animals at a young age. Pets really bring out the best in us, and it's important to me that you get regular updates and feel your pet pal is in great hands. From years of dog owning, dog sitting, and working at nature centers, I have experience with special needs pets and wildlife rehab, and am comfortable administering medications or handling dietary requirements. I am detail-oriented and sensitive, and try to respond to any animal where it is at in terms of attention and space; giving praise and keeping healthy boundaries. I have had a border collie mix, a miniature dachshund, and a flat-coated retriever (and a parrot, among other pets). Trips to the park or the bay for running and swimming were daily practice. Since my last dog passed, I'm taking some time, but being with other people's dogs is a nice substitute. Sorry, but I can’t do cats - I'd love to, but I'm allergic! I do have experience with other animals though and will consider caring for non-dog pet pals on a case by case basis. I currently work remotely and set my hours, so I have plenty of time to play with your pup. Just let me know what their needs are, and I will try to accommodate. I like to get to know the pets I am caring for so I can learn their quirks and preferences. According to whatever abilities and needs your dogs have, and whatever is safe and enjoyable for them, I like giving enrichment and exercise by playing games, taking dogs with me on hikes or swims, to dog-runs, or just on walks or adventures around town. If your dog plays a sport (like flyball), I would be happy to take them or keep up the training. I believe in positive reinforcement and I’m happy to work with you on any problem behaviors or training goals. I make sure to keep calm, positive energy. If I am pet sitting or home sitting, I care for any home I live in as if it were my own - I will alert you if there are any issues, and will leave it clean and welcoming.

“Makai was great! He took such great care of our dog while we were away. He was super personable and always made sure we were updated on how she was doing. We will definitely be booking again!”
