“Brian has been absolutely fantastic to work with. We have 2 great danes who are moody. Brian has instilled confidence in his ability to manage the big boys, but also in his incredible care for them. We have nosy neighbors who have even reported back how he truly is playing and interacting with them the entire time he is with them. We have even had a day one of our boys was not feeling well and Brian went over a bit early just to give him more time with him ensure he was ok. My work schedule changes frequently and he has been so easy to work with and communicate with about those changes and updates. I appreciate his flexibility and understanding. He posts pictures or a brief update each visit which helps with the normal dog parent anxiety. Overall we are so grateful he was referred to us by another, he has been a lifesaver during a life change when we knew the impact on our dane boys was going to be a big deal.”
“Our Daisy fell in love with Emily the minute she walked in the door. I knew my fury friends would be in great hands and they were. I will definitely rebook with Emily.”

“Hannah did amazing with our dogs. She was either on time or early every time to go let them out and took very good care of them. She kept me updated every time she went over there and if she wasn’t sure about something instead of just doing it, she asked me what I would do which I really really appreciated. If you have the opportunity definitely book with her she’s amazing.”

“Jaime did a great job with our dog and cat, especially our dog who is very scared of strangers. Jaime clearly has lots of experience with dogs and knew just what to do to make Georgia feel comfortable. We'd definitely book him again for future trips.”

About: Hi! I’m Skylar and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from puppies to senior dogs. I’m comfortable with leash training, high-energy dogs, and pets that need a little extra patience or structure. I also care for reptiles, fish, and other animals, so I’m very attentive to feeding schedules, behavior changes, and safety. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, enriched, and well cared for while their owners are away. I treat every animal like they’re my own and I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and detailed reports. I work weekdays from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, so I’m available for evening walks, play visits, and check-ins after work.

I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and I provide updates and photos so owners can see how their pets are doing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard and experience caring for multiple dogs safely. Dogs are supervised during playtime and introductions are done slowly to ensure everyone is comfortable. I can also crate dogs for rest or feeding if needed. During weekend boarding, dogs will have a structured, safe environment with playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and safe.
About: I’ve always been around dogs my entire life and had many puppies I’ve had to taken care of and nurture after. I absolutely love dogs and all animals in general, a little more than humans, lol. This is a new account for myself but I have dog sitter multiple times with my mom for her clients and helped her out, so I am not new to this. I’m good with training and disciplining dogs, especially with behavior correction. I understand how to handle dogs of all natures, including puppies and senior dogs, dogs with different and special needs, and dogs that love attention. Professionally sitting other people’s dogs, I have about 3 years of experience but in general, dogs have always been apart of my life! As of now, I am currently unemployed as I am trying to get into my local police department. In the meantime, I would like to make some extra money and do so by doing the thing I love to care for most, animals and dogs! If you crate your dog, that will be done. If you want your dog out but need certain things done before hand, done. The safety of your animals are super important to me and making sure they are taken care of is top priority!!

“Abigail took fantastic care of my animals while I was out of town. She communicated well so I always knew how they were doing. I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

About: “Hi, I’m Andrew, and I can’t wait to care for your furry family members. I grew up surrounded by dogs, and after nearly 30 years of experience, I know how to build trust and comfort with every pup. I also care for cats and have a soft spot for sugar gliders—my little exotic companions! I’m available Monday through Friday for daily walks, check-ins, and more. I’ll treat your pet like family. Let’s connect—I can’t wait to meet you and your beloved animals!” “Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work a set schedule Monday through Friday, so I always have dedicated time each day for visits, walks, or playtime. I’m flexible to coordinate around your pet’s needs, so you can expect consistent, attentive care at the same times each week.” “When I care for pets in your home, I prioritize their safety and comfort above all. I take time to familiarize myself with your pet’s routine, ensuring they feel secure in their own environment. I follow all household rules, provide a calm, predictable atmosphere, and keep you updated with photos or messages. I make sure each pet feels loved, safe, and right at home, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.”

“Sharon has done so amazing with my Cleo, who isn’t very trustworthy of strangers. She easily won over her trust & updated with photos at each drop-in, and made sure she knew everything she needed to know to care for my fur baby. 10/10 recommend!”

About: I’ve always been a dog lover and grew up taking care of, training, and of course loving my family dog, Potter. I have three years of pet sitting and dog walking experience but well over a decade of experience if you count Potter! I also have volunteer experience at the SPCA and Humane Society with both dogs and cats. I know how stressful it can be to find the right person to trust with taking care of your fur baby when you’re gone away or even out of the house for long hours during the day, and I pride myself on always providing the best care I possibly can from sending lots of photos and updates to following all of the sometimes silly and seemingly overcomplicated little rituals and routines your baby is used to doing when you’re home with them! I’m a professional ballet dancer and currently in my summer “off season” so my schedule is extremely flexible and can accommodate whatever works best for you and your pets! I always like to do an in person introduction with you and your pets so I’m able to get to know exactly how you guys like do things, and of course to get to know your fur baby so I’m not a total stranger when I’m looking after them while you’re away! I have first hand experience with good and bad pet sitters for my own fur babies so it’s really important to me that both you and your pets are comfortable and feel confident with me before I take care of them!
“Second time I have used Sofia! She is AMAZING! Very kind and will take great care of your fur babies. I love my animals like children and the horror stories of rovers scares me! I am so thankful to have found a great sitter I can trust!”

Boarding: Cozy, supervised care in a home environment with lots of attention. Drop-Ins: Feeding, fresh water, cleanup if needed, and quality time with your pet.

For walks and drop-ins, I prioritize safe handling, secure leashing, and careful attention to surroundings at all times. In my home, pets are always supervised in a clean, safe space designed to reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I believe trust is built through clear communication, so I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away
