“Briana and Jamal were absolutely wonderful with my senior dog. They were responsive, sent great updates, and were very timely with their visits. Will definitely be hitting them up for help with my girl again.”
“Dee Anne did a wonderful job watching our kitties, she sent photos everyday, played with them, and made sure they were well taken care of. We will definitely use her whenever we go out of town again, and we would highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet care while they are away.”
“Micayla is great! She stepped in when my regular sitter was unable to cover a couple of long days and the pups were well taken care of and I was totally able to trust all was well. Will absolutely book Micayla again and recommend choosing her for your furbabies.”
“Qing is a real STAR and very very patient! She responded very fast within minutes, provided me peace of mind, and handled my senior cat with mobility and litter box issues. Her notes were professionally written and gave me tons of details and amazing pictures which I enjoyed the MOST 💜”
“Sierra once again kept our kitty safe, well fed and happy for us. Always reliable and excellent with our cat. Continuous pictures and cat updates the entire time. Thanks so much!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 20. I have personally had 9 dogs, 2 of which are still living. They are a German Shepherd and a mixed hound. I also foster dogs from time to time. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages, with dogs that need any special medication, as one of my dogs was a diabetic and blind. Also, I am comfortable with dogs that have aggression issues, as long as we work out how to address them before your dog stays with me, and no one gets hurt. Two of my German Shepherds have aggression issues that I had to work through. A little about me: I am going back to get my master's and teach. Currently, I am substitute teaching, and we undergo a very thorough background check, including fingerprints and a check with the FBI. I am willing to provide long-term boarding for deployments or similar situations. That is the case; we can discuss the details and the long-term care rate. I have a very large fenced yard that gives the dogs plenty of room to run and play. It is 1/3 of an acre. I have radiant heat in the floors of my house, and most of the time, the dogs lie on the nice, warm floor. I do have a camera in the backyard. I can give you access while your dog is staying here with me. :) I’m sorry, I cannot take any more neutered dogs. The few I have had have been working all over my house, and it doesn’t matter how much cleaning you do, or how special the treatments are, they don't work. It’s a big problem with unneutered dogs. I do hope you consider neutering your dog. I am currently working to go back and get my masters and education to be a teacher. I am available all days right now and flexible on times. I have a large yard that is fully fenced with a 6 foot fence. I treat pets as part of my family but keep them well behaved and mannered. I have fostered dogs before too, and I always try to meet the dog where they are at whether they are stressed, fearful, or have a lot of. For example, if they need a lot of exercise we go on walks and play several times a day. I find a happy dog is a happy life.
“Misao took amazing care of our cat while we were out of town. She was very conscientious, gave us regular updates, brought in our mail and packages, and left the house cleaner than when we left. Not only was she incredibly sweet, she was timely, followed our detailed instructions perfectly and was overall a great pet sitter! Highly recommend and would hire again :)”
“Tiffany was amazing! She took such good care of our 4 dogs while we were out of town for the week. She kept them on schedule and in their normal routines, it's like we were even gone! She went above and beyond to make sure we came home to a calm house.”
“Howie hasn't had a lot of interaction with people and can sometimes be confused about how hes supposed to act. Jasmin did an amazing job with him and by the end of my vacation is was sitting in her lap getting some pets.”

About: I will make my home your pets away from home. I strive to provide loving care to your furry family member. I have been around furry friends my entire life. I have nursed puppies that lost their mom when I was 8 years old, helped our senior dogs pass over the rainbow bridge, and in my adult life I have rescued 3 adult dogs and raised a puppy. I currently have 2 small pets that live here and are very calm and friendly. I am experienced with senior dogs nearing the end of their life. by providing fluids, medication, special diets, and extra special care and love. Your pets have access to a fenced back yard with potty breaks every 2 hours (unless your dog needs more breaks in cases of puppies or senior dogs), daily walks, and furniture. Please consider me when booking your next home away from home for your furry family member.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life ranging from small dogs such as my current dog Mochi, to large dogs. Being around animals especially dogs has always been something that I’ve enjoyed and have had lots of experience with growing up. My experiences range from the needs of puppies all the way to elderly dogs with their healthcare needs, which makes me more than willing to provide care for your pet. I’m currently available at all times for taking care of your dog during the day, coming by to check in and let your dog out for bathroom breaks, and taking them on walks. When walking your dog I’ll make sure they are well supervised and kept safe while also following any given instructions to ensure they have an enjoyable walk. For care at your home I’ll follow your pets regular routine and any specific needs or rules for them.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I truly love spending time with dogs, playing, going on walks, and making sure they feel safe and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and affectionate, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently home full-time, which allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day. I manage my home and have a very flexible routine, making it easy to adapt to your dog’s schedule for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I’m originally from Brazil, where I earned my Law degree, and I’m a U.S. Army spouse. At the moment, I’m focused on studying English while staying at home, which gives me the availability and consistency to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care for your pet. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and organized environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I closely supervise them at all times and make sure they follow their usual routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I respect your space and maintain your pet’s routine to minimize stress. I ensure doors are securely closed, food and water are fresh, and your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and supervision.
About: Hello! My name is Kenzie and I am excited to be your pets friend!! I have experience with many different types of animals, as I’ve worked with neighbor and friends animals as well as at a petting zoo that over the last 14 years. Within that experience I have handled reptiles, rodents, small pigs, dogs and cats! There are obviously many animals I have yet to have a lot of experience with, but I am amazing at following well detailed instructions. I am happy and excited to get as many photos or check ins as makes each individual pet parent happy and comfortable. As an added bonus, my eldest cat has been on insulin shots twice a day for four years now. So I am familiar with handling animal’s for shots, and I’ve also had to administer pills as well. Thank you for your time and consideration! I have a fairly flexible schedule and am more than willing to work with pet parents on days and times that work for them. My availability on the weekend may vary, but I am usually pretty open during the week. I do not plan to bring peoples animals into my home for the time being as I have special need animals of my own that would not fair well with it
“Very diligently took notes during the initial home walkthrough, very communicative during each of her visits with the kitties. Overall, a stellar pet-sitting experience and will absolutely be booking her in the future.”
“Sarah was extremely communicative and patient with my nervous boy. I appreciated her diligence in keeping me updated with texts and pictures while I was out of town! Hopefully over time Griffey will warm up more!”
“Very communicative and friendly. They left my house clean and smelling good despite the new wet food diet the cats are on. Yuck! No wet food smell or litter box smells! We came home to happy cats. Thanks!!”

Tatiana was wonderful! She took great care of our cat and dog over the weekend and kept us updated throughout each visit with detailed notes and photos. It was such a relief to be away knowing our pets were in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Kim is a fantastic sitter. I’ve tried several sitters for my two pups that both have very differing needs, Kim is by far the best. She understands dog’s needs. Leaving the dogs with her adds a level of relaxation to our trips knowing my precious pups are being well cared for.
Bella showed a polite professionalism when it came to the care of our dogs. She did research on handling techniques better suited for our specific dog breed and came up with ways to make them more comfortable around her, in a short timeframe mind you. She went above and beyond our expectations and we will surely try to book her in the future!
Angela was nothing short of amazing. My corgi, gizmo isn’t the easiest dog to deal with due to his past in his last home he was in. She walked my little man a lot and made sure he was taken care of. 20/10 would recommend to have her take care of your fur family
Noah is a fantastic pet sitter. Communication is timely and straight forward. Even our shy pets are interested in playing and interacting during visits. Reliable, caring, and attentive. After hiring Noah on multiple occasions over the years, we’ve not had a single issue or concern. Highly recommend!
