About: Hi!! I’m a dog mom myself, and the BIGGEST animal lover. I will be more than happy to accommodate you and your pup, whether that be boarding at my own home or coming to yours to help your pet feel comfortable in their own space. I have been watching dogs since I was a teenager, and have an wide range of experience with different ages and breeds— from taking care of the newest baby pups to our beloved elderly furry friends, and from teacup chihuahuas to giant (but the biggest babies) breeds! I have a Doberman of my own, who loves making new friends. Though he can be what we call “socially awkward” at first, he quickly warms up to new pals. We have a spacious and clean home where he is allowed to roam free and do whatever he pleases, and I want to reassure you that your pet can do the same! We love pet snuggles and welcome them to make themselves comfy and at home. We also have a large fenced in yard that is perfect for fetch and playtime. We have a 1 year old infant at home as well! He LOVES dogs. We only ask that you are confident your dog is 100% comfortable with little children. Our son will want to pet and love on them just like he does with our doggo. I will be home 24/7 to be around your pet and ensure they are receiving all the love and attention they deserve— a perk you cannot get with a lot of others services and boarding companies! I would be ecstatic to help you and your furry friends in any way you need. I thoroughly enjoy taking my own dog on walks at the local nature trails or around our neighborhood, so I would be delighted to do the same for yours. I hope you consider me for any services you may desire and can trust me to take the upmost care of your loved ones :) I am at home full-time, so I am able to accommodate your pets needs on demand through the day and night. The only time I need to leave the house is for errands and other miscellaneous tasks. I will never be gone for more than a couple hours! I have a fenced in yard with plenty of play space. I also have a guest bedroom if needed for your pet to stay in if they do not do well with other pets or like to be alone for periods of time.
“Jessica is FABULOUS! Excellent communicator and fantastic with our pup! She was willing to go above and beyond in every way. Book her and you won’t regret it! We have already booked her again.”
“She was wonderful and helped me in a bind. Family emergency came up and she was able to step in and offer assistance. Very pleased with her work ethic and honesty.”
“Madison did an amazing job taking care of our 2 fur balls with her drop in visits. She always sent a handful of pictures with each visit and sent them right away. Would definitely recommend her and will definitely hire her again.”
“I feel like I just made a new bff. Meredith was amazing!! She sent pictures every day and at every visit. My furry kids loved her as much as I do! There are not enough words to express how great full I am to have her! I give her 10 million stars!!”
“What a great sitter Jasmine was!”
“Bailey was wonderful and the best experience we've had on Rover. From the time we met her, we were comfortable knowing our Leo (our dog) was in good hands, and we could tell that she cared for Leo and that Leo liked her back. She was very responsive and gave us frequent updates and pictures.”
“Jordan was great! Our dog took right to her and loved her! She was great at spending time with our pup and updated us regularly. Will definitely use her again in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Joni was absolutely amazing with my kitties! Lenna and Faris are usually timid around new people, especially Lenna, but they both warmed up to her over time. Joni was also extremely thorough in providing updates and pictures while I was gone on my trip. I don't know what magic she worked with my kitties, but she is highly recommended!”
“Brian did a great job with my cats!”
“Trevor is awesome! He took a great care of my cats, and my cats liked him. He always sent me pictures of my cats after his visits. It was easy to communicate with him about my cats’ needs. Highly recommended!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I've worked on horse farms since I was 16, earned my bachelors in equine science and have a masters of science degree. I currently have two dogs and two cats of my own. I also have a strong understanding of animal behaviors and body language. I am also very passionate in dog training as well. I have experience in administering IM medications and oral medications. I have worked for WAG! which is another walking/boarding platform where I would walk clients dogs on demand and also provided in home boarding. I am currently not working so I am home most of the day. A typical day for me starts between 8-10 am where I immediately let the dogs out to use the bathroom and then back in for breakfast. I occasionally leave the house to run errands but usually not longer than 2 hours. Can tailor to your dogs need if they can't be left alone. Throughout the day I will let the dogs outside as they wish and always with supervision. I feed dinner around 6:30pm. For drop in visits I am able to tailor for whatever your animals needs are and typically available for multiple drop in visits during the day if needed. I have a large fenced in yard. I have two friendly dogs and two friendly cats. I have multiple rooms if your pet needs so quiet time or space from the other animals. I am equipped with multiple crates and baby gates as well if needed. I have a backseat dog hammock and and dog seat belts if needed as well.
About: Howdy! I have been a dog and cat lover since I was a wee tot. I grew up with four labradors on a farm. Then I ended up caring for two stray cats. And now I am a proud owner of a pug, frenchie, and a rag doll cat (they live elsewhere at the moment). I love going for walks and ensuring my pets get adequate physical activity. I also take pride in how many commands my pups can follow. I have dog sat for many of my friends and neighbors (big and small dogs) and would love to care for any cats needing somewhere to stay. Additionally, I am very comfortable bathing and/or grooming pets. Currently I home visiting family, so I have a very flexible schedule. Your pets will get the same love and attention they did during the pandemic period when you worked at home. Typically I like to socialize with the pets as much as possible and go for long walks. But I will follow the rules you set for your pets (ex: no dogs on the furniture if that’s your home rule). I have a small fenced in backyard, but I live near a decent sized park where we will walk.
About: I’m dependable, always on time, and treat every pet like family. I focus on making sure your dog/cat feels safe, loved, and exercised while you're away. I have experience with dogs/cats of all sizes and temperaments, including seniors who need a gentler pace and extra care. I’m available every weekend, and you can count on me for consistent, caring service. Pet care is a meaningful part of my weekends. I set aside time every Saturday morning (and one Sunday a month) to focus fully on walks and drop-in visits. It’s something I look forward to—I love the routine, the connection with pets, and being outdoors. Caring for animals is a relaxing and rewarding way to start my weekend. When caring for pets in your home, I follow their routine closely—meals, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure they feel comfortable and safe by keeping things calm and familiar. Whether it’s a quick walk or a drop-in visit, I give each pet my full attention, keeping them active, loved, and stress-free while you're away.
About: I've taken care of my neighbors cat & dogs several times; two professor's dogs several times; a patient's (who became a friend) cat, dogs, & horses. My husband works full time from 6am-7pm. I am at home 95% of the time as we're expanding our family & are expecting our 1st bundle of joy November 2025. We're available most weekends. Our dog would love a playmate or two! I would prefer to board your pets at my house so they can have the best care possible as they will have my full attention!
“Emelyn is a gift to our dog Henry. She is kind and provides him companionship when we are away. Emelyn is also a highly professional, experienced sitter with great attention to detail. We highly recommend her services for your pet's needs.”
“Abigail was great! She was very receptive and followed all of my instructions to a T! The only thing is that she didn't send any notes or updates on how my dog was doing. She was always on time and sent me the walk data and pictures, but didn't send much information beyond that unless I asked for it. She was great with responding quickly though and always answered any questions I had! I would definitely trust her to watch my dog again!”

“I trusted Gabrielle watching my yellow lab rescue in my home while I was out of town. She was awesome. He is an older dog who required extra care and attention will his medication regimen and feeding. She also took him on walks each day, and sent me several picture and videos of their time together. He was a big fan of hers and I could tell he felt like she was one of his humans. That means the world to me, especially while I’m away.”

“I can’t thank Ben enough for the incredible care he provided for our two dogs while we were away. From the moment we met, it was clear he has a natural connection with animals and truly cares about their well-being. Ben was attentive, responsible, and kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dogs Banjo and Harper absolutely adored him. We came home to a happy, relaxed pups who had clearly been well loved and well looked after. The house was spotless, and Ben even took the time to tidy up toys and clean up after walks. I highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter. He went above and beyond, and I’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future. Thank you, Ben, for everything!”
