“Thank you for taking great care of Magna again :) So awesome to return to a happy and relaxed dog. No anxiety or stress, which would be evident if she didn't have daily needs of mental engagement and physical met. Or would happen with being boarded. Also appreciate how respectful and courteous of home and property Maria is, thank you!”

3. Julia B.
“Julia is amazing!! She spent a week at my apartment with my 9 year old dog Rory and it went really well! Julia sent daily pictures/videos and kept me updated on how things were going. I came home to a clean apartment and a very happy dog! She even kept my plant alive. If you’re looking for a pet sitter I strongly recommend Julia =)”

About: Hello! I am a work from home professional who has many years of pet boarding experience. I offer a safe, reliable environment with exceptional pet care services in my home. It is my everyday routine and life. Pets are simply family, a stress reliever and a joy to be around. Attention to detail is very important. I cater specially to their needs, provide a loving/stimulating environment, and am consistent with communication with the pet owners. I treat each pet as if they’re my own.

Currently stay at home mom to be finding a job while pregnant has been quite difficult. Im due in April so I have plenty of time before hand to give a helping hand to your family.

“Jessica was awesome with my puppy, she kept me in the loop with pictures every step of the way. She was very flexible and asked questions to ensure she will care for my pup in the best way possible. I highly recommend and will be bringing my dog back in the future.”
10. Robert B.
About: I’ve been pet-sitting since I was a young child, I have always loved animals. Dogs especially, they held a special place in my fathers’ heart, and now in mine as well. Just being able to help provide a needed service for animals that are taken for granted so often in this world makes me a happy person. I love the opportunity to be welcomed by another family as someone to be trusted with such an important member of their home. The safety and well-being of the customers pets is always an absolute priority in my commitment to dog and animal care. I can handle most any level of training or lack there of in pets and am willing to take in customers who require special care for their animals. No job is too small, and any service that can be provided will be done so as promptly as possible. Thank you for choosing me to be the care-taker of your beloved pets. This is my full time passion. I spend all day every day loving animals and make them feel at home and well taken care of. I have an open yard and always walk on a leash, but I have fenced in area where dogs can play under supervision. Inside my home is free range for all to play and have fun. Dogs can be allowed to play with others or be out just by themselves, whichever works best for them.
11. Daniel M.
“Danny is amazing with pets of all types of personalities! His whole family is full of animal lovers (some working in the veterinary and animal care industries) and he has recently been working really hard to become a dog trainer. He has an eclectic but well trained bunch of pets at home and, whenever I bring my dog over, he always includes her in all the play time and training. My dog can be a bit fearful at times, but he's helped her a lot with her confidence!”
12. Janette F.
About: I will be graduating with a Masters in Biology. I know a lot about animals and can handle whatever breed you throw at me, big or small. I have two fur babies of my own and would love to care for yours. I love being outdoors and active so your pet will have lots of exercise. I am a full-time student online. Your pet wouldn’t have to be in a cage at all because I am home all day! Willing to pick up and drop off. I am clean and detail-oriented. I have a personal vehicle to drive to and from your home. I can haul your pets to the local dog park, vet, or somewhere to go exploring!
