“I cannot recommend Shelby enough! She is a huge blessing to me and my pup. I have always left my dog with the vet’s boarding service, and he always returns anxious and upset. When I picked up Oscar from Shelby, he was his normal, happy, cheerful self. He was well loved in this home and I received plenty of pictures as proof! I’m so grateful I can leave town and feel at peace knowing my little guy is in such loving hands.”
“You can tell Julie has a heart for dogs; she sat with ours during fireworks on the July 4th weekend to try and comfort them. She was extremely accommodating on drop off and pick up times, which was greatly appreciated. On top of all of that, the accommodations are outstanding. We will definitely make use of her services for our next trip and are so glad to have found someone who goes above and beyond to care for our pups.”
“We could not be more happy with our puppy's stay with Heather!! She kept us up to date with pictures and messages the whole time Ivy was in her care and treated her as if she was her own dog! Very flexible with drop off and pick up which was extremely helpful to us as we were traveling and our plans changed a little bit. I could not imagine a better experience!”
“Zorro's time with Sarah was incredible! He had a wonderful time. She was very conscientious to make him feel loved and comfortable. Sarah knew this was his first experience with a new sitter and sent pictures and videos to show how happy and content he was. His appetite was good and he slept well through each night. I highly recommend Sarah and will schedule with her again when needed.”
“I can't say enough good things about Luke. I boarded my dog, JD, with him for 6 days while I was out of town, and the experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. I would 100% recommend Luke.”
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life and have about two years of pet sitting experience. I also have two dogs of my own, so I understand the level of care, attention, and trust that goes into looking after someone’s pet. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including puppies and seniors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and sticking to your dog’s routine, and I treat every pet like my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention and care they deserve. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays, and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or check-ins, I’ll make sure your dog gets consistent care, attention, and companionship. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who are used to being around other pets. I always prioritize safety by supervising interactions, keeping a clean and comfortable environment, and following your pet’s routine closely. I can crate your dog if needed and will make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times.
“Jessica was amazing! She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. He was so happy and comfortable with her that I don’t think he even missed me! 😂🐾 I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. 💕”

About: I am an animal lover. I have three dogs of my own, all small rescues. I love big dogs but can’t have them in our tiny house. I am a full time nurse practitioner but take care of animals on my days off. I know how hard it is to find loyal and trustworthy people to care for my animals. That is why I wanted to provide this service. Also, walking and playing with dogs and cats is fun. We also travel and are interested in keeping dogs during travel. My husband and I work together to make sure our dogs are outside regularly throughout the day. I will only be taking appointments on my days off, so my schedule is a little sporadic. For overnight stays, I need to have walked your dogs at least 4-5 times and/or completed a trial of doggy day care to make sure your dog gets along with my personal animals.

My schedule is flexible and allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits depending on your needs. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and strive to maintain their normal routines while you’re away.

As a registered nurse, I pay close attention to details and am experienced in recognizing changes in health or behavior.
