“Francena is a loving, caring, and knowledgeable provider! She treats my senior Bichon like her own. She took prompt care of him when he was anxious (which he always is now that he is senior). She kept me posted and was very patient with his senior habits! She really knows dogs with all her experience in showing, breeding, grooming, and vet industries. I'm so happy to have found her!❤️”

About: We don’t currently have pets of our own, but my experience with animals spans their entire lifetime. I raised both a Shih Tzu-Poodle mix and a Tibetan Terrier from puppies into their senior years. They were truly part of our family, and after losing them, I’m not emotionally ready to adopt again. Pet sitting feels like the perfect win-win your pets will be showered with love, attention, and care, while also bringing that special furry companionship back into our home. I’m experienced in daily pet care, including brushing and coat maintenance. Since both of our dogs had coats that matted easily, daily brushing and regular grooming were essential, and I personally maintained and trimmed their coats myself. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve pet sat for friends and family during vacations, often caring for their pets for weeks at a time. I also worked as a nanny for several years, where I regularly cared for a German Shepherd who became one of my favorites. We took daily walks to the park, and I helped maintain his coat, especially during shedding season. My love for animals began growing up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and frequent litters of puppies and kittens. Being able to witness and help care for animals from such a young age gave me a deep appreciation for them and taught me patience, attentiveness, and compassion. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will always care for them as if they were part of my own family. My schedule is very flexible, I work from home in the evenings, the timing is perfect for winding down, they can relax in my office while I work or in our living room or room. In my home: Safety is my top priority. I have a large, fully fenced backyard, that connect directly to our lower living area allowing for secure and easy access for potty breaks. For variety i can take them around our neighborhood for walks and can utilize a large park at a nearby school for additional play time. Pet not good on walks, NO PROBLEM: Having owned a Tibetan Terrier who was incredibly loving with family and children, but reactive to other dogs on walks I deeply understand that every dog is different. If a pet is anxious or not good on walks, we can stay withing our private back yard. In the clients home: I follow the owners established routines and instructions to keep the pet safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, including tailored neighborhood walks.

“Han is outstanding! She was so kind and understanding to my very anxious pup. I was worried about a new babysitter and if he would get along with her doggos and I was more than happy to see him fit right in to the pack! A very calm and safe environment for my little boy, such a great find.”

I went home for Christmas and was gone for nearly two weeks, when I got back my pup had been so spoiled and was such a happy girl!! I will definitely be bringing my Riley girl back next time :)”

“Gino is awesome! He's incredibly reliable and our dog, Brandi, absolutely adores him. Gino goes above and beyond to ensure that Brandi is happy, healthy, and well-loved while we're away. His communication is top-notch, and we always feel at ease knowing our pup is in his capable hands. His responsiveness is unmatched and I enjoy his updates of photos and videos that he sends throughout the day.”

“Doreen is a great dogsitter. She is easy to get in contact with and responds very quickly. My puppy was so happy to be able to play with her dog Diesel and go out for walks. She is always sending updates. I already used her services three times and my puppy came back home tired and happy. She treats my puppy as her own. I recommend her services and I'm now a recurring client. She's adorable. Thank you Doreen.”

Tessy B.

“Our dog had such a fun time playing in Adrienne’s huge fenced in backyard. She took very good care of him and sent us a bunch of fun updates! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve spent my entire life with dogs—from childhood through today. I’m the devoted parent of two spoiled, deeply loved Chinese Crested dogs. I have experience working with different breeds, personalities and individual needs, including senior dogs. I have a flexible work schedule, and will have plenty of time to care for, play with and walk your dogs while they’re in my care. BOARDING In my world, dogs are family, not pets. Your furry family member will get the same love, attention, and yes, spoiling, that my own dogs enjoy every single day. They are welcome to sleep in the bed, on the couch or in any place that gives them comfort. I have a fully fenced yard that they can enjoy as well. I’ll follow your specialized instructions for feeding and other routines. You can expect to receive photos and updates while they’re with me. DOG WALKING I offer flexible dog walking services tailored to your pup’s needs—whether it’s a quick potty break, a leisurely stroll or an adventure. I will make sure they get the exercise, fresh air and attention they deserve while staying safe. DROP IN VISITS I’m able to handle feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care while keeping your pup happy and comfortable at home. You’ll get photo updates with each visit for peace of mind.

About: I’ve been caring for cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies for over 12 years. It started when I was young, helping family and friends with their pets, and naturally grew into fostering both puppies and adult dogs. Today, I live with a ragdoll cat, two mini schnauzer doggies, and regularly foster dogs. My 2 senior cats that I grew up with currently live with my mom. Every dog or puppy I foster and have in my home learns routines and tricks based on their needs. I’ve helped with leash training, crate and potty training, managing toy reactivity, and teaching commands like sit, shake, and touch. My pets get plenty of playtime, structure, and love and yours will too. I’m careful with pet introductions and always prioritize comfort and safety. I understand every animal is different and will listen closely to your concerns to provide personalized care. I also love sending regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I work from home, and I am pretty flexible on ensuring the care needed for your pet. I have a lot of time to spoil your pets! I have a fully fenced yard, and monitor pets when they are outside. I introduce pets slowly with positive association and ensure each pet is comfortable. I also have a fence to separate pets indoors if needed. When caring for friends/family's pets, I always ensure pets do not bolt out the door both when coming inside and leaving. When walking a pup, I always ensure their harness/collar is on correctly and have high reward treats/toys to ensure focus stays on me if there are distractions. I never overwhelm an animal and understand they take time to warm up, especially when it is my first time meeting them.
