“We had a great experience with LaurieBeth, and our pup Max loved her. From start to finish, everything went smoothly and we felt confident leaving him in her care. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly took the time to make sure Max was comfortable and well cared for. Most importantly, Max seemed really happy and relaxed when we picked him up, which says a lot. It’s obvious he enjoyed his time there. We didn’t have any issues at all and would absolutely trust her to watch him again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I have always grown up with a dog in my home and dog sat for many friends and neighbors. Over the years, I’ve handled everything from quick neighborhood walks to 3-week dog stays, for families on vacation. Since I work from home, your dog with get attention and affection all day. I am also fairly active and would love to care for active dogs that need playtime and long walks. I’m totally comfortable with the 'serious' side of pet care; I’ve fed, bathed, and groomed plenty of dogs, and I’m experienced with administering medications or following specific vet instructions. I’d love to keep your best friend happy, and well-cared for while you’re out! I work from home and love the company of dogs! I love cuddling them and giving attention while I work. I am also an early riser so your dog will be fed and walked atleast twice a day. I am active in the evenings and would love to take active dogs for long walks or playtime. I am also experienced with social dogs and would love to take them to the dog park. Safety is my top priority because I know how much trust it takes to leave your best friend with someone new. Before any stay, we'll do a Meet & Greet to ensure everyone is comfortable. Our home is fully pet-proofed, and because we work from home, your dog is under our direct supervision all day. On walks, we stick to familiar trails and always stay on-leash for security. Having cared for sick and older dogs, I’m very comfortable following strict medical schedules and vet instructions. I also keep your vet’s info and an emergency contact on hand just in case. You’ll get plenty of photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun (and napping) is happening!
“Renata was wonderful with my dog Princess. Princess immediately loved her. She played and snuggled up too her throughout the day. They had great walks, fun time and Renata took beautiful pictures of our fur baby! We will book her again. Thanks Renata!!!”
“It was my first time dropping of my 14 week old Samoyed and I was so nervous! Tom is wonderful and very accommodating with the drop off/pick up times. More importantly, Enzo was a very happy camper and enjoyed his stay with Tom. Will definitely ask Tom to watch Enzo again!”
About: I provide thoughtful, home-based care for dogs who thrive in a calm and structured environment. As a work-from-home sitter, I’m able to give consistent attention, supervision, and a steady routine throughout the day. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with different energy levels and temperaments, and I pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and safety. What sets me apart is that I keep things intentionally small and controlled. I take the time to understand each dog’s needs, and prioritize a low-stress experience with plenty of outdoor time, gentle structure, and a secure fenced yard. I also require a meet-and-greet to ensure the right fit, so every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after.I keep my care intentionally small so each dog gets consistent attention and a calm environment. Doggy care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and am able to provide consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day.Dogs in my care are part of a calm, structured routine that includes regular outdoor time in my fenced yard, walks on nearby trails ( My fenced backyard opens directly to walking trails for easy access to outdoor time and walks) along with plenty of time to rest and relax indoors. I build my schedule around the dogs I’m caring for, making sure they get a good balance of activity, attention, and downtime. On a weekly basis, I keep things predictable and low-stress, which helps dogs settle in comfortably. I’m mindful about not overbooking, so each dog receives the time and attention they need without feeling overwhelmed. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, their care and routine remain consistent so they feel safe and at ease... When pets stay in my home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow each dog’s feeding schedule, potty routine, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. Dogs have regular access to my fenced yard for bathroom breaks and outdoor time, along with walks on nearby trails depending on their energy level. Inside the home, dogs are given a calm space to relax and are never left unsupervised for long periods since I work from home. I introduce dogs thoughtfully and only take on a small number at a time to maintain a safe and low-stress environment. I also pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall comfort, and I communicate with owners if anything seems off. My goal is to make their stay feel predictable, safe, and as close to their home routine as possible.
“I reached out last minute, and Carla graciously welcomed Amos without hesitation. He clearly had an amazing, activity-filled day. He came home happy. It’s obvious he was well cared for and had a great time.”
“Diba is such a nurturing person to my WALL-E. The family opened their home up with great hospitality. She kept up with daily routines, photos and interaction throughout the day. I would recommend her to anyone looking for the best service needed for your fur baby! . Thank you so much Diba. WALL-E hope to see you in the future Quiana”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for many years, helping friends, family, and neighbors with feeding, walks, playtime, and basic grooming. I’m patient, attentive, and always follow each pet’s routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I take time to understand every pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need extra reassurance. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m available on weekends and weekdays after the afternoon, which allows me to provide attentive care, regular check-ins, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment where pets are treated like family. I carefully follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions and make sure pets are never left unattended for long periods. I’m attentive to body language and comfort levels, and I communicate clearly with pet parents to ensure their pets feel safe and secure at all times.
“Kiran and his dogs Mysti and Maya were great company for my 65 lb lab-pitt mix Dudley. Dudley would run to the door every morning waiting to go see them and return home in the evening satisfied and tired. Kiran is super friendly and considerate. I hurt my leg one evening, on my way home from work, and Kiran was kind enough to squeeze in one extra walk right before I retrieved Dudley to get him to poop so I wouldn’t have to with my bum leg. This is after he kept Dudley for a very long day. I highly recommend his services and am saving him to my « favorites » list. :) Thank you, Kiran!”
“Jennifer hosted our dog for doggy daycare. He had an absolute blast and became best friends with her and her lovely dog Sunny. Jennifer sent cute pictures and great, detailed updates. Our dog can’t wait to return!”
“Kelsey is an awesome host! My pup had such a good time running around and playing with her dog that it was hard to get her to leave at pickup time! Kelsey also took them out on a walk and had plenty of space for them to have fun and play.”
“Nicole took good care of Penny! We appreciate the photos and the communication. Penny had so much fun she didn’t want to leave. I definitely recommend Nicole and will reach out to her in the future.”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and before I move to the city, I grew up on a hobby farm. My first job was with my local humane society where I volunteered and worked for 5 years, with responsibilities including walking, medicating, basic grooming, training and temperament testing. I'm here because I love animals. I currently work from home business hours with flexible schedule. I moved back to the USA in 2022 after a 5 year hiatus, completing my masters in Singapore and the Philippines. My pets have always been my family. I can be flexible and meet most routines. My pet friendly neighborhood has facilities throughout to accommodate dogs and my unit is pet friendly (e.g. no poisonous plants, secured cabinets, no harmful chemicals, orderly and clean).

Catalina was great with our dog Moose! She was very prompt in her responses and provided a plethora of videos and pictures while they were together. Catalina also listened to our requests, as our dog had just hurt himself prior to the dog sitting, and everything went very smoothly. Would highly reccomend Catalina again!
Kelsie has been an absolute gem of a dog sitter for our Juju 🐶 She’s always available whenever we need her, which gives us so much peace of mind. Juju genuinely loves going to her—he has the best time playing with her dog and even her two cats! It’s such a relief knowing he’s not just being watched, but actually having fun and being cared for like family. We’re so grateful to have found her. Highly recommend Kelsie to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!
Deeksha was very sweet and patient with Kai. My dog is very shy, but he quickly felt comfortable around her. She also sent me many pictures of Kai as updates, which I really appreciated. Another thing I truly value about her is that she is punctual and always on time. My schedule is usually very busy, so I don’t have much time to waste. She even waited outside for me during pickups, which was incredibly helpful. I 1000% recommend her!
Lauren was great and communicative before actually meeting. This made drop-off easy, and she took great care of our little Moose with updates and pictures. Lauren was willing to drop off our dog at the end of the day, which helped since we had quite a busy day. I would definitely rebook with Lauren again in the future!
Diba is such a nurturing person to my WALL-E. The family opened their home up with great hospitality. She kept up with daily routines, photos and interaction throughout the day. I would recommend her to anyone looking for the best service needed for your fur baby! . Thank you so much Diba. WALL-E hope to see you in the future Quiana
Phobos had a great time at Jen’s! He loved playing in the backyard with his new buddy Henry, hanging out on the couch, and settling in for dinner. Jen took photos throughout his stay and was incredibly welcoming and kind to both Phobos and me. Thanks Jen, we’ll definitely be back!
Burrata stayed with Jessica today while my husband and I ran a race a couple hours away. She had such a great time! Jessica kept us updated with lots of pictures and Burrata got walks and treats and had fun! Jessica was wonderful and watched Burrata’s cues to go potty and she had no accidents which I really appreciate since she’s 5 months and still learning. I highly recommend Jessica and will definitely be using her in the future!
Nicole took great care of my dog and was very communicative when setting up booking and during his stay with her. My dog seemed to have a blast and had plenty of outdoor time and social interaction with Nicole and her animals; I know he loved all the attention! Will definitely consider Nicole’s services again in the future for my baby!
