“Jordon is fantastic. He watched out three Aussies for two consecutive days while we saw plays at the Festival. He connected immediately with our high energy pups. His communication throughout the booking process was perfect. We highly recommend Jordan to watch your dogs.”

“Great couple! They made my dog feel extra loved. They went above and beyond and even took him on a camping trip, which Dexter really enjoyed. They provided photos and kept me updated while I was gone. I will definitely have them watch Dexter again :)”

“Julianne & Ragen took great care of our pup! They exercised our high-energy buddy and made sure he had a good time. We even got a cute little doggy day camp report card when we picked him up. It warmed our hearts. Can't wait for his next visit with Julianne & Ragen.”

“Anika was very flexible and cared so well for Bruce. She sent several pictures every day and Bruce couldn't be happier. On the walk home he kept looking back for her or perhaps her dog Maisy! Anika is very welcoming and has a beautiful home with a yard for the doggies to play in! I would definitely think of Anika again next time I go out of town.”

“We were so happy with Jennifer and her girls taking care of Vinny. She sent us pictures and really helped us feel comfortable about his stay. We would definitely use Jennifer again.”

About: With over 15 years of experience in dog sitting and walking, caring for animals isn't just a job, it's a passion. I believe pets are family and should be treated with the same love, attention, and care we give to our closest loved ones. Whether it's a long walk, playtime, or a cozy cuddle, I make sure every pet I care for feels safe, happy, and truly spoiled with love. With over 15 years of experience in dog sitting and walking, caring for animals is second nature to me. I work remotely full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. My own dog and I enjoy a routine of morning, lunch, and evening walks—and on weekends, you’ll find us hiking or exploring local parks I have a fully fenced yard that's perfect for safe outdoor fun, plenty of toys to keep dogs entertained, and a pet-friendly home where pups are welcome on the couch for snuggles. Whether it’s playtime, nap time, or just keeping your dog company while you're away, I make sure every pet feels happy, relaxed, and spoiled with love.😊

“My pup, Red, had a great time with Silvia! He stayed with her for nearly a week. Silvia sent lots of pictures so I could follow his adventures. It was clear he was given lots of love and attention during his stay. I highly recommend Silvia. She will take care of your pup(s) like they are her own.”

About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember! I have 2 dogs and a cat now and understand the stress of finding a caring home while on vacation. I have experience with the extra care needed for senior dogs (our senior just passed this year. 😢) I work from home and can provide potty breaks for puppies and seniors that can’t hold it like they used to, as well as walks and play time. Being home means full supervision as well as plenty of check in pictures of your special fur baby. I have 2 dogs that will keep your pup company. We also have crates if reinforcing your current crate training routine is required. I do not have a fenced in yard, but live in a quiet community where I take my dogs for frequent walks.

About: Dogs have always been part of my life, we always had a family dog or three growing up. After college I adopted a rescue into my own family. Our current dog Poppy was rescued at 6 months old, and just turned 9 years old. She's been professionally trained in truffle hunting. I'm a retired safety engineer and run a bed and breakfast on our property. This allows me take care of the dogs and the property all day long. We live on a few acres with our rescue dog Poppy. There is a fenced area where the dogs can play safely outside. There's also a large deck that the dogs love watching the wildlife from. I only accept up to two other dogs at a time so it's a quiet and relaxing setting in the country.

About: I started my first pet sitting business when I was just around 7-8 years old. I used to pet sit out here in the same area of Ruch. I grew up out here. As an adult now, with many of my own animals, I am now offering my services again. I rarely go anywhere because I do not like being away from home and my animals. I'm almost always available and close by (servicing only Ruch). I grew up with, and took care of, many kinds of animals; horses, donkeys, goats, dogs, cats, ferrets, birds, rabbits, etc. Being around animals gives me life and I love to help make animals feel special while their humans are away. It's already stressful for them, and for you too, so make it easier with someone who talks to them and makes sure that they feel special. I live at home with my hubby and he is adored by every animal that meets him. He even stole my main doggy daycare client! Know when animals are here, they're cherished by both of us. I have my own small businesses that I can work on anytime I feel like it from home, which gives me great flexibility. I am available to take care of critters in the Ruch area almost any day, minus some appointments that I have sometimes. When I'm not here, hubby is here to watch them. In my home: To protect my own cats and dogs, I need to ensure that your dog is friendly with my animals, vaccinated, and protected from fleas and ticks. Outside is fenced in with no climb fencing and acreage for roaming around our house, they get to let me know when they want to go outside, or come inside. My dogs knock on the door and tell me what they want (in or out). I'm sure they will teach your dog to do the same. When inside, we read, nap, cuddle on the couch, floor, in front of the wood stove, or in a crate if your dog desires. Outside, there are a couple of acres to run and explore. I spend all day tending to my dogs and can do this for yours too.

“Serena was absolutely incredible with my dog Oliver! He was instantly happy to meet her and her family at the meet great and had a wonderful weekend getting spoiled with lots of cuddles and walks everyday! Will absolutely be booking with Serena in the future!”

“Capri was flexible and took excellent care of Barley. He was only with her for 5 hours but walked him and then he slept. We did not ever feel uneasy and it was nice to attend the theater knowing Barley was in good hands. Thank you Capri.”

“Shelly was a life saver. She took both of our dogs who have never been left with anyone but family. She sent me videos and pictures to ease my mind. I will be using her again and I recommend you do as well!!”
