Kelli is wonderful. She came for an initial visit and our pup was at ease with her from the moment he met her. She is prompt and a great communicator. I would highly recommend Kelli.

Joemar is a gentle soul and has high morals. He loved walking my 2 chihuahua mix around his or my neighborhood. Once my babies passed away, he still retains an active lifestyle: jogging in the mornings or riding his bike everywhere, like doing groceries for his mom, which is when I usually see him. He’s conscientious and likes to be helpful when he can. When he’s at home, he’ll read a book, watch a movie or write to create a new recipe. He also likes to write plans and goals for himself to achieve in the next hour or by the end of the year. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, you will not regret giving Joemar a chance. He always does his best with his heart.

About: I love all animals, and have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and breeds. I've owned animals my entire life, and also worked for a doggy daycare for 8 years. I have experience feeding, medicating, and walking dogs. I have also pet-sat (including cats, fish, and rodents) for clients and friends/family. I'm working part time right now, so I have time in the early afternoons and evenings most weekdays and weekends for walks, playtime, or just plenty of treats for your best friend :) For pet-sitting reservations, I stay in the client's home as a double benefit - there is someone to watch over your house while you're away, and your pets get to stay in the comfort of their own home! I do at least one in-person home visit with new clients prior to booking so I can get to know you and your pets (and vice versa).

I have known Mark for many years. He has cared for our multiple dogs many times, including overnights. He is dutiful, trustworthy, and gives a lot of love to our dogs. He is a genuine animal lover. Our dogs look forward to him coming. He plays with them, engages with them, holds them, walks them, and gives exemplary care. He's knowledgeable, reliable, efficient and kind.. He reviews our care instructions and makes certain the specific details, and that gives peace of mind. He doesn't hesitate to contact us if there's an issue or a question. He's observant, mindful of safety, and he takes dog care seriously. I enthusiastically recommend Mark! .

About: I have grown up around dogs and I feel very comfortable around any type of dog! I am a very loving and care dog owner myself! My schedule is very flexible at the moment and I can fit daily and weekly routines into my schedule most likely! The only time that would be a problem is very early in the morning due to my workout schedule. I have a very safe and clean home which works great for caring for pets. My neighborhood is great for taking pets on walks as well.

Joelle is an AMAZING pet sitter. She has taken great care of all my animals (dogs and cats) and has been very receptive to my instructions, sends updates and photos, and is super communicative during the entire time I’m out. I typically have her stay at my home since my dog specifically has some anxiety so she also goes the extra mile by keeping an eye on my house. She’s great with my adult rescue who’s still learning his manners as she continues his training even while I’m gone! She’s comfortable with him jumping, barking, and playing rough as he’s still learning. He also has extensive health issues and administers his medication and keeps an extra eye on him. I fully trust Joelle to watch my fur babies and they love every time she comes over.

Kasey has walked my pit bull Robert a few times now and he absolutely loves her! Robert is always excited to see her, and I know he is in good hands. Kasey is incredibly responsible and I can trust she’ll be on time for pick up and drop off. Robert and I truly can’t thank Kasey enough!

About: Hi, I’m Maya! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—dogs, cats, and even horses—and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I started pet sitting for neighbors and family friends around age 15, and since then, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. I’ve helped raise playful puppies, provided comfort to senior pets, and everything in between. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, relaxing walks, or just a cuddle buddy while you’re away, I’m here to help. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. I take pride in being dependable, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about animals. I’d love to meet you and your pet, let’s set up a meet and greet soon! I am currently home from college for the summer and have a flexible schedule to fit your needs! I’d love to work around your busy schedule! I have a fenced-in yard and an extremely playful, friendly English Cream Golden Retriever who is two years old and loves playdates! I also have two cats of my own. Pets in my care get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection in a safe, loving environment. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel right at home. I’ve also had the privilege of caring for a three-legged dog in the past, which taught me how to adapt to special needs and provide compassionate, attentive care for pets of all abilities.

Savannah is basically my dog Pickle’s new best friend. I think he might like her more than me at this point, which is mildly offensive, but I can’t blame him. She’s like the dog whisperer, but with a better sense of humor. Every day, I got pictures of Pickle looking like he was living his best life—going on adventures, belly rubs on demand, and eating better than I do. If you’re looking for someone to spoil your dog rotten and make you question your own pet-parenting skills, Savannah is your gal. I’ll be booking her again just so Pickle doesn’t file for pet custody!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every breed and size since I was 16. As well as cats, as I have a kitten of my own (in another home). Neighbors, friends, and family often trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide companionship for their pets. I’ve also cared for senior dogs and puppies, and I’m confident handling energetic dogs as well as shy or anxious ones. Whether it’s playtime, medication, or just some extra belly rubs, I’m always attentive and gentle. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 6 PM. I can also accommodate early morning drop-ins and flexible walking schedules with advance notice. Your pet will be treated like family in a clean, loving, and supervised environment. I’m comfortable with crates, leashes, medications, and customizing care based on your dog’s specific needs. Your pet’s safety is my top priority!
