Tracy was absolutely amazing with our Beanie!! I would most definitely recommend her to anyone needing services for their fur babies. I will be using her any time we will be out of town from now on (if she's available).

Madison was perfect for my pups! She was flexible, professional, and best of all my dogs loved her! My Dixie girl can be hard to warm up to at first but Madison did not like that intimidate her and warmed up quickly. As a petsitter myself, I am extremely particular so I’m very happy I found Madison to do my personal pet sitting, I highly recommend her and will be calling on her again for sure!

Sophie was wonderful for my anxious girl, Roxie! I felt very comfortable leaving her in Sophie's care, and she was very willing to do all the little things that I told her would make Roxie feel more cozy and safe, and even spent some extra time playing with her! If you have a dog that has anxiety, or has any issue that requires a little extra care, Sophie will go the extra mile for you!

About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years, starting with walking neighborhood dogs and growing into house sitting and boarding. I’ve also had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m experienced with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or sticking to their routine, I treat every pet like my own and give them plenty of attention and care! I’m a college student with mostly online coursework, so I have a flexible schedule and am home often. I also care for my two fur babies daily, so pet care is already a big part of my routine! I’m available most days, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. I have two friendly dogs of my own and always make sure introductions are done safely and at a pace that’s comfortable for everyone. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, I keep dogs active and engaged with regular walks around my neighborhood and supervised time outside. I always follow your instructions closely, stick to your pet’s routine, and provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away!

Kalie was wonderful with my high-energy, quirky & sometimes anxious pup! Capone was well cared for (fed, watered, played with & loved) and I came home to a happy boy after my trip. Kalie was on time for all appointments and spent the entire time I asked for with Capone. I enjoyed the photos she shared with me, and I would recommend her highly to care for your furry family members!

About: Hello. Call me Kathy. I love all animals especially dogs and I have raised and cared for many over the years. I enjoy having other dogs in my home so that my own Teddy can socialize and make new friends. I have lots of time for long walks or lazy snoozes on the couch with my pooches. I love all breeds and most of my friends have a furry family member. When they go away they depend on me to care for their precious pets because they trust me and they know I will love and care for their pets just like I do my own. I am dependable and reliable and enjoy having fun with the dogs and teaching them new tricks. I live in an apartment but the property has lots of places to walk and run including a large, fenced-in dog park where the pups can run and play leash-less and carefree. This is a great opportunity for the dogs to meet and greet other pets in the area and just have fun together. Plenty of water is made available for the pooches as well as balls and toys. So, if you are looking for a place to leave your precious friend when you go away, trust Comfy Canine Care to give your pets the love and “at home” experience that you want them to have. So, reserve a spot for your furry friend today at Comfy Canine Care. I am retired now so I have lots of time for pet sitting and walking around the neighborhood and to the dog park on a regular basis. The dogs are allowed anywhere {including furniture but only if it is allowed in your own home}. Please let me know if there are any restrictions.

I am also available on most federal holidays. I'm happy to provide photos delivered electronically for each visit. I am clean and you can trust that your pets and welfare of your home are my top priority.

About: I have three years of experience providing loving and reliable dog sitting, caring for dogs of all ages and needs. I’ve fostered puppies through the Humane Society, gaining hands-on experience with young dogs and their unique care requirements. I’ve also cared for senior dogs and those needing medication, ensuring they stay comfortable, safe, and well-cared for while their owners are away. My goal is to provide compassionate, attentive care tailored to each dog’s individual needs. I incorporate pet sitting into my daily and weekly routine by balancing my schedule to ensure each dog receives the attention and care they need. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I prioritize each pet’s routine. I plan my week around their needs, making time for feedings, medications, playtime, and any special care required. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable and consistent care, ensuring pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I prioritize maintaining their routine to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any necessary medication according to their specific needs. I also offer companionship, keeping pets engaged and reassured while their owners are away. Additionally, I respect my clients' homes by keeping spaces clean and following any special instructions to ensure a seamless experience for both pets and owners.

My cat is very shy and I was worried he would not come out of hiding to socialize while I was gone, but Scout was so amazing and patient with him! She gave him the time and space he needed to be comfortable and he liked her so much he even let her brush him! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my baby! I highly recommend!

Cannot say enough good things about Caitlin. She was precisely on time for the meet and greet as well as all drop in visits. Didn’t just run in and out but spent time with our fur baby. I highly recommend her and look forward to using her again for our future pet care. It’s nice when you’re out of town having someone you can depend on like Caitlin. Makes for a more relaxing trip when those drop in visit alerts go off right on time.

Melanie was quite literally an answered prayer for us! I have so much anxiety about leaving my babies with strangers, but she went above and beyond in her care and attention to detail with each of them. Her reports each day made us chuckle often and she was incredibly patient and attuned to the needs of each one. This is the most comfortable I’ve ever felt with someone caring for my little family, and we will absolutely be calling her again for future care.
