“Easy 5 stars. Abigail was awesome! Great to work with, great with my pup. I needed to pop up north for the weekend and am so thankful I found her. Ranger had a blast being watched. He was played with and cared for really well. I recommend Abigail to anyone in the area who needs a trustworthy dog sitter.”

“Elizabeth was amazing, great at communicating and overall Mylo seems happy after picking him up! I was very nervous about spending a long trip without Mylo but Elizabeth helped with any nervousness and highly recommend her!”


“I felt very comfortable leaving Cassie with Kyndra. She treated Cassie like part of her family. I loved receiving all the videos and pictures she sent me while I was on vacation. When I returned Cassie was in high spirits and seemed more playful. Thank you so much Kyndra”

About: Reliable, experienced animal caregiver with a lifetime of hands-on pet care experience. I provide loving, attentive, dependable care, ensuring your dog feels safe, happy, exercised, and loved. 🐾 I'm a personal nutritionist and I work from home and in private settings, and I make my my own schedule. I have 2 dogs that are my life and go everywhere with me. I kayak in the ocean, enjoy hiking with my bigger dog, volunteering my extra time to needy organizations, and living a life of pleasantness within. I'm a personal life coach who helps others realize their potential in life. Caring for my animals is a very easy flow routine. We wake at 6am and eat by 7:30. We walk, and have potty time immediately afterwards, and play time is always happening. My animals are allowed on my furniture because they are part of my family, not just a pet. I keep them clean regularly.
About: I care for your animals as though they are my own. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, including training, basic grooming (nail trimming, baths and similar care). I have had cats and dogs all my life, (and also have lived with goats, horses, chickens, and cows.) I am passionate about animals and making sure they are as comfortable and happy as possible! I do have experience caring for reactive or nervous pets, as well. I also have a dog training certification, and am actively pursuing additional certifications for more specific skills, commands, and situations. At the moment, I have pretty open availability. I might respond asking if a booking can be an hour or two later or earlier, in some instances. The needs of each pet are different, and I aim to make all of them as comfortable and content as possible. I sent photos with all of my bookings, as well as notes of anything of note that occurred. I want you all to be comfortable as well! If I take the pets on walks, they will always be kept on a leash unless in a specific situation previously discussed with their owner. In bookings at my house, I have a fenced in yard where I supervise, as well as most of my home. I have a few rooms shut off for safety purposes.
“I can’t even begin to express how grateful we are to have found Dorthy to watch our sweet fur baby, Pippy! They took fantastic care of her with updates and photos the entire time. Our sweet girl took a doggy vacation while we were away with nature walks, fun with the other dogs, play time, long naps, and brushing her out. She was one happy girl all weekend long! Thank you so much for loving our girl and playing with her. It brought us a lot of comfort knowing she was having a blast and safe. I am excited for our next trip and more puppy vacations for Pip! This was better than leaving her with our family!”

“Aimee and Andrew have a huge fenced yard, a playful Doodle and 2 great kids that made me feel like Jackson was visiting friends, rather than just being boarded. I really appreciated daily updates and cute photos that let me know my Jackson was having a great time. Highly recommend to anyone needing a dog loving family setting for their dog when they travel.”


“Avram was incredible at watching my pup! He took him out every day hiking, swimming, and walking. My dog came back happy and exhausted, and I could tell he had a great time. Thank you Avram! Will definitely be booking again!”

“Kristen and Estevan were so wonderful with our dog Webster. It was a longer stay (10 days) and he is a very active dog, but it was more like a doggy spring break than a simple boarding experience. Lot's of fetch, lots of cuddles, lots of pond swimming and enjoying their beautiful property. I got regular of photos of a very happy dog, 10/10 would use them again!”


About: I've been an animal lover my whole life and have always had at least one dog or cat in our home, as well as others often like fish and reptiles. I even lived and worked on a goat farm for a while and milked and cared for the goats. I'm an avid hiker and am happy to walk your dog for any length preferred on trail or road. In my other work I have over 15 years of experience as a healer (massage therapy and energy work) and meditation/yoga instructor and bring the calm this field has taught me to pet care. I'm used to hearing pet people tell me that their pets are so calm around me. I seek to form a connection based on trust and understanding with your pet. I am, without a doubt, a cat lady having had cats in my life since the age of 5. I currently have a sweet and sensitive Calico, who has lived with me for the past 11 years. She is a finicky eater and often deals with digestive issues, so I've had plenty of experience with various food regimes and giving supplements. We also have a sweet, playful, young male cat in our home (my daughter's cat) and a beloved bearded dragon. I offer pet care as a side gig to my other work and love any opportunity to connect with your furry friends and other pets. I offer pet care part-time in addition to other work I do. I'm happy to walk dogs most weekdays/weekends between 8 am-3 pm and I can do pet check-in's most weekdays and some weekends and holidays with 1-2 weeks notice. I am sometimes available for overnight pet stays in your home with ample prior notice. When coming to your home, I follow what usual routines you share with me for your pet and treat your home with utmost respect and care. If you have a preferred route to take your dog on a walk or favorite dog park, I'm happy to go with whatever your norm is and will make your dog most comfortable.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have had my fair share of dog sitting experience for friends, neighbors and in addition to babysitting (which is a challenge in itself). I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and would love to help in any way I can! I’m currently working a 48/96 schedule so I have consistent rotating days but am available most week days for extra help or on some weekends! I have an apartment within walking distance to parks and am on the first level so it is easily accessible for older pups. I don’t have a fenced yard.
“Desiree was amazing watching my dog Stella. She sent so many picture updates which made me feel so comfortable leaving Stella. She also made me a video of Stella’s stay with her!! She went above and beyond, will definitely book with her again in the future.”
