We were in town for some sightseeing and needed a last minute day care for Gus. Robert was close to our hotel, responded quickly and was very professional. Gus was off and playing upon arrival. Would highly recommend him for your pet sitting needs.

About: Hi, I’m Emily and I already love your dog ☺️ Here’s how I know they’ll love it here too: • 12+ years experience caring for dogs • Home all day (work from home) • Large fenced yard • Cozy pet-friendly furniture • Great neighborhood for walks Bonuses: • Hallie (my dog) is ready to play! She’s super friendly. • My 10 year old son is often here and also ready to play! • Your dog may have new nicknames and/or songs about them by the time you pick up • I’m an artist, and I sometimes do pet artwork… 👀 I work from home primarily, so first check my available dates. But I’m flexible so let me know what you need and I’ll do my best to work with you! I have a fenced in yard, a playful dog and son, and lots of cozy spots to relax inside as well! We go on occasional walks as well ☺️

About: I have had babies all my life! If you need a loving home for them to visit while your gone-you found the right person! I have been bringing in babies for others while they are gone on family trips the last 5 years. I currently work part time. This allows me the freedom to help out others that may want to plan a get away. I am will to pick up and bring your baby back. With in reason (30 miles) if further we can set up a meeting point. I have a blue tooth collar for the dogs as I don’t have fenced in area at this time. We are in the country with plenty of room to play!

Chloe and her fur kids were amazing in caring for my small dog, Bailey. Communication was above and beyond what I expected with frequent updates including photos. I was able to be away for two nights, with not a single worry as it was very clear Bailey was being cared for just as much as I would have. It was obvious that Bailey had a great time and she got tons of attention! I will definitely be leaving Baikey with Chloe again and would highly recommend her!

About: Pets are treated like friends and family here. I will use the commands you’ve trained them to, use the harnesses, collars, and leashes you provide, and feed them only the food/treats you bring.

We live across the street from a bike walking by trail also in a subdivision with a boulevard for long enjoyable walks.

About: I have loved animals of all kinds and all sizes for my entire life, i grew up on a 40 acre working farm and i have also worked as a veterinarian technician and have over 20 years experience caring for Animals of all kinds-dogs, cats, peacocks, chickens, horses, goats, rabbits, ostriches, elk, deer, and more! Caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday life. Living on 5 peaceful acres in the country, I spend my days surrounded by pets—my own cats, dogs, and occasional farm animals. I build my schedule around giving each pet plenty of love, attention, exercise, and rest. Whether it’s daily walks, medication administration, or simply cuddling on the couch, I make sure every animal’s needs are met consistently and lovingly. My experience as a veterinary technician taught me the importance of routine, observation, and compassionate care, which I bring to every pet I look after. Pet care isn’t just a job—it’s part of my lifestyle and passion. I prioritize safety and comfort above all else. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, secure environment on our quiet 5-acre country property, with plenty of space to explore under close supervision. All areas are pet-proofed to prevent accidents, and I closely monitor each animal’s behavior and health throughout their stay. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their routines and spaces, keeping their environment clean and safe while providing attentive, loving care. I follow all instructions carefully—whether feeding, administering medication, or handling special needs—to ensure each pet feels secure and comfortable. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential. I communicate openly and promptly, providing updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind that their beloved companions are in caring hands.
