“Gabriella stayed with our two dogs for 8 days while we were out of the country. We felt very comfortable having her there with them and she sent us updates everyday. One of our dogs is hairless and requires a bit more work, especially going outside since he needs clothes and boots in the winter. We came back to happy and healthy pups. Thanks Gabriella!”

Sheena A.

“Jessica was dependable and communicated well during her stay. Ollie and Scarlet were well cared for and she maintained their schedule for meals. I would hire Jessica again and recommend her if asked.”

About: I’ve cared for many of my own pets, more than just dogs and cats. Family and family friends have relied on me to watch their pets while on vacay. One of which is on 2 meds morning and night. With puppies I can do simple training I’m currently unemployed, so my availability is open to care for the fur babies that can’t do it all for themselves. Your furbabies routine becomes my routine My fur baby, Milo gets fresh water daily, refill food as needed, scoop litter every other day. And when it’s time to clean up after him everything gets a good wash especially the litter box because I myself cannot let that get disgusting. He gets his nails trimmed by me, and bathed from time to time

About: Hi! I’m Kendal—an energetic, dog-loving sitter and future veterinarian with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Whether I’m walking high-energy dogs, comforting anxious rescues, or supporting senior pups with extra TLC, I always bring patience, empathy, and a vet-bound level of attentiveness. I’ve worked with animals through vet clinics, rescue organizations, and educational programs like Project Terrapin, giving me a deep understanding of canine behavior and health. I adapt to your dog’s needs—whether that means fetch in the yard, calm companionship, or help with routine care. Every dog has their own personality, and I’m here to meet them right where they are—with enthusiasm, respect, and a whole lot of love. I currently work off-site Monday–Friday from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM, which allows me to offer consistent, high-quality pet care during early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I currently provide pet care in clients’ homes, as I do not board animals in my own residence. My focus is on offering attentive, reliable care that keeps pets comfortable and supported in their familiar environment. In Your Home (Sitting and Overnight Stays): When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible. This includes timely feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of companionship. I keep your home clean and your pet happy, providing regular updates so you can travel with peace of mind. During overnight stays, I ensure your pet receives care in the evening, overnight, and morning, with a walk or check-in before I leave for work and attentive care once I return. Drop-In Visits and Dog Walking: For walks and drop-ins, I tailor the visit to your pet’s needs—whether that means an energizing walk, quiet company, or extra attention for nervous or senior pets. I make sure they have clean food and water, a potty break, and interaction that matches their personality and preferences. With a strong foundation in pre-veterinary studies and years of hands-on animal care experience, I offer thoughtful, dependable care for every pet I meet.

“Alyssa stayed at our home to watch our 12 year old German Shephered and 9 month old Belgian Malinois. We were very nervous about our Belgian as it would be the first time leaving her. Alyssa came twice to meet us and go over everything prior to the watch date. She communicated with us often and sent photos. We came home to our house in order and both of our doggies well loved. Highly recommend!!!”

About: Hi I’m Natalie! I love animals and have grown up caring for them my whole life. I’ve had a range of animal care experience from mice to sea turtles and everything in between. I currently have two dogs and two cats and a betta fish. I have experience with large dogs like my Saint Bernard boxer mix and small dogs like my frenchie. I’ve also had experience caring for an elderly dog the past feed years administering medication frequently and cleaning her ears. I also volunteered for three years at an animal clinic where I also interned granting me more animal care qualities! I usually let my dogs out in the mornings for breakfast and feed them and then again at night. I also have given them baths and groomed them regularly. I even have had to give my older dog medicine regularly throughout the day. I do not have a fenced in yard but I have a dog run that I will use and also have two of my own dogs to play with them.

About: Calm, relaxing, loving home for your pet! I work from home so am here almost all day and night. Safe and cared for while you’re gone. I have a huge fenced in yard, and additional acres to walk your dog leashed if you’d like me too. It’s quiet here. Your pet will be comfortable in his own space near me. We have no cats living here at this time but they are always welcomed! I will follow whatever walking, and eating instructions that you set for your pet, to keep their schedules as normal as possible to help relieve the stress of being away. Our home is their home! I’m fully insured and able to handle any needs your pet has! I was a certified medical assistant and phlebotomist (blood draws) so healthcare is in my background also. I am self employed and will be home with your pet. Your pet will be well supervised and treated as a part of the family. My home is private, quiet and safe. It is large and has a nice big fenced yard that I will walk your pet in. I will walk your dog every 2 hours and will not let your pet go outside without me. I have two dogs, Latte, a 40lb retriever mix that was a rescue, and is very sweet, but timid around people she doesn’t know, and Gracie Mae, Golden Retriever, that is 6 months old, 50 lbs, and learning to be a gentle not wild sister to Latte! I always safely separate dogs from different families.

About: Hi my name is Averi, I have been around animals my entire life but have the most experience with dogs. I do have a charcoal lab of my own who is now a certified service animal that travels around to nursing homes and comforts those in need of puppy love. I recently got back from traveling abroad and am looking for a side job to back up my part time job! I have a 11 month lab of my own so she gets 3 meals a day, plus plenty of exercise to tire her out at night. I make sure to take her on at least one big hike a week to make sure she is getting that experience, and am always taking her into public for socialization I treat others animals as if they were my own, I take pride that I treat animals very well and am always willing to do anything to make sure the owners is as comfortable as can be. I believe that in order to make an animal act right they need to feel comfortable and safe, which requires patience and a soft hand.

About: I have had pets in my home for as long as I can remember, and throughout my time in my childhood home I cared for 6 cats and 3 dogs. I have working experience caring for reptiles, birds, and fish, and currently own two cute kitties and two wonderful dogs I am currently between full-time positions and have plenty of time to care for your animals. Whether it is cats, dogs, or something a little more exotic, I am free weekdays and weekends to make sure your fur (or not!) family gets the care they deserve.

I send update texts during each visit and lock up tight when I leave so the kiddos are safe and secure.

About: I’ve owned pets my whole life. My children are also in love with dogs snd cats and are very good with them. There are many non busy streets, hiking trails and a dog park near me. Backyard is fully fenced. I’m working part time and am very flexible, punctual and organized. I also have a large Pacifica van for getting dogs to and from that can fit large crates. I love exercising and playing with pups and even cats. They say a good dog is a tired dog and I love getting out with them.

We’ve worked with pets with mild to moderate anxiety, but we cannot accept pets with severe separation anxiety or behaviors that require 24/7 supervision — those pets must be picked up immediately due to causing high-tension and stressful situations for both your pet, and our family.

That’s why we’ve set clear boundaries: to protect the peaceful, loving environment we’ve built and to prioritize clients who respect their pets and us — especially with a young child in our home. These policies aren’t meant to discourage who we service at our core - amazing loving pet parents. They simply help filter out mismatches so we can focus on what we do best: giving your pet a safe, happy, and loving stay. Thank you for understanding, and supporting care rooted in honesty, trust, and love.
