“Roree is the best! I’m new to the area and was nervous about finding a new sitter to care for my rescue pitbull. However, Roree immediately gave me a peace of mind. She’s an absolute delight! She communicated lots, sent pictures, and I came home to a healthy and happy little pup! She took great care of my place and was very reliable. I will absolutely be booking with her again! 💖”

“Shani was a wonderful! She took very good care of our 3 dogs! She kept us updated and sent adorable photos of all 3 dogs! We would definitely ask Shani to sit for us again!”

“Susanna was great. She was considerate of my dog, family and home. Her care allowed me to focus on my work away from home. Dasher welcomed me with ease upon my return which to me means he was not frantic with anxiety while I was away. Peace of mind for me and my boop.”

About: I have always loved dogs. I grew up with a black lab (age 5-18), and when I was in high school I frequently watched dogs and cats in a pet sitting capacity. Pet sitting for neighbors and friends was my first job, and as soon as I got my drivers license, I expanded my pet sitting clientele. As an adult, my husband and I had a rescue dog (Pitt/lab mix) who was our fur baby. When we adopted her, she had separation anxiety and resource guarding issues. We worked with a trainer to help her overcome those issues, and were grateful for the wonderful years we enjoyed with her. Unfortunately, she died in early 2025. While we are not in a position to have our own dog right now, we would love to continue to snuggle and support local dogs through pet sitting. We do have a toddler at home. She loves dogs and we would never leave her unattended with any animal. While we will be careful to ensure any dogs in our care are set up for success by being separated from our toddler with baby gates, etc., we are only able to host dogs who are comfortable around small children. I am a middle school teacher, so I have full-time availability during school breaks and the summer. I am also available to drop in before and/or after my work, depending on the location. My husband, Cristopher, works from home and loves having a dog as his co-worker to be let out on demand. As dog owners, we never left our own dog home alone for more than 4-5 hours, and we will only accept a boarding booking if our schedule allows the same time commitment to your dog. We treat all dogs like they are our own. As a former pet parent, I know that I can never replace you, but I will do everything I can to make sure your dog feels comfortable and safe in my care. We have a fenced yard with no animals in our home (except for the occasional wild bunny). Our yard has plenty of space for dogs to run around and play.

About: I have had pets my whole life. I'm very comfortable with any size and breed. I have also had and taken care of special needs dogs and cats. I am not currently working so I am available for walks and sitting most days. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. I have lots of time to focus on and give your pets all of the exercise, cuddles, and pets they need! I would love to boop YOUR pet's snoot!

“Lilly was very attentive and when she had a question she would always contact me . I really appreciated that.Also left the house in nice order.”

“Annemarie is wonderful. The dogs loved her she even cleaned up the house and walked the dogs every day! We have invited her back in September.”

“Kylie did an amazing job watching my girls!! She took good care of them and provided me with updates whenever I wanted and checked in with me on her own (including sending photos). She left my house immaculate (especially being here 2 weeks) and she is incredibly kind and thoughtful! I highly recommend her for others looking for a pet sitter and will definitely request her when I need a pet sitter in the future!”

“Dylan was flexible, communicative, and knowledgeable. I really appreciated his ability to roll with scheduling changes. Ace and him seemed to really hit it off which is the most important to me!”

Cortney R.

“Brooklyn did a fantastic job watching our two morkies over a weekend period. We especially appreciated her proactive style of communication, her calm when dealing with any issues, and of course all the pictures of our pups throughout the day while we were away. Would definitely recommend her services and book with her again. Thanks Brooklyn!”

Jesse S.

“This was our first overnight with Erin and it was great! Clearly our dog Candy took to her, which was a real relief to this anxious dog mom. Thank you Erin!”

Donna M.

“Rachelle took great care of our active dog, senior cat, and our home while we were out of town. She came over on her own for a pre booking meet and greet, checked in with us regularly while we were away, sent photos and kept us updated, and left the house clean and respected the space. We'd def book her again. Thanks Rachelle!”

Jacquelynn Y.

“Breauna was amazing with our dog Joey! He has some anxiety especially when he's separated from us but she did a great job of taking care of him and making him feel secure. She exceeded expectations by taking him on walks that were not necessary and sending us lots of pictures and updates! She was also very respectful of our home and we came back to the place just as neat as we had left it. Very kind and amazing vibes, well definitely be using her again!! Thank you so much!!!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who works from home with a relatively flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pets plenty of time and attention. We don’t currently have a dog of our own, which gives us the freedom to travel occasionally and makes it easy for me to focus fully on caring for your pets. I grew up with all kinds of animals and have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including high-energy pups. I’ve cared for pets for friends and through Rover, and I’m comfortable reinforcing good leash manners and adjusting care to match each pet’s needs. At home, I have two barn cats who came to us feral and are now happy lap cats. That experience has taught me a lot about patience, trust-building, and caring for pets who may be shy or slow to warm up. I’m happy to care for dogs, cats, and other small critters, and I treat every pet like my own with thoughtful, attentive care. I’d love to connect and see if I’m a great fit for you and your pets! I’m self-employed and work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to build pet care naturally into my day. I’m happy to accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits. I prioritize consistency, trust, and a sage environment when caring for pets. I follow routines closely, watch body language, secure doors and leashes, and provide calm, attentive care.

“Michaela, unfortunately, had to deal with a broken nail on one of our dogs that happened the night before our trip, and she handled it extremely well - she kept us informed and took the right precautions to let it heal. Our house was spotless and pups were relaxed and clearly cared for upon our arrival. Michaela’s communication was honestly perfect for us. She sent a picture and a message, daily, and it was plenty (sometimes it can be a bit too much from sitters). We’d definitely let Michaela care for our pups and home again :)”

“Our family needed Jacob during a very difficult time. Jacob was kind, prompt, and immediately hit it off with our girls (Bear and Tookie). He was available to provide last minute care for our fur babies and sent updates daily on their well-being. We will definitely utilize Jacob‘s services in the future. He comes highly recommended by all our family members!”

“Shane was awesome. We felt very comfortable after meeting him that he would do a good job taking care of our dogs. He even took out our garbage and recycling cans for pickup and brought in the mail. Thanks Shane!!”

Mitchell D.

“She was amazing went above and beyond what I asked for I could not have asked for a better person. Not only will I be asking her again but I will be sending her referral to all my friends and family”

“I don’t even know where to begin. My husband and I rarely go on trips together. We have three dogs, they are all different ages with different care levels, and finding someone to care for them has always been challenging. Our family planned to go on an Alaskan cruise, and we decided to join them. We reached out to Karen and she was SO responsive. She got back to us quickly and agreed to do a meet and greet. Our dogs LOVED her immediately. We have a 6 year old street dog whom we rescued from Mexico. He is very sweet but is slow to warm up to people. Within a few minutes of Karen being at the house he was begging her for pets. It was decided right then that Karen would be watching our fur babies. Fast forward a few weeks and we are all lined up and ready to go on our trip. We’ve done a pack walk with Karen and have walked her through their daily needs. Karen is very thorough and wants as much information about your pets as she can get. To make sure everyone was good to go, my husband and I took our senior dog to the vet to get her arthritis shot. We wanted to make sure she would be comfortable while we were gone. At the vet appointment, we got heartbreaking news. Our veterinarian had a difficult and honest conversation with us about our dog’s health and quality of life. Our senior was 19 years old and had started experiencing some cogitative decline and mobility issues. After several long discussions and uncertainty about our pup’s health while we would be gone, we decided it was time to allow our sweet baby to cross the rainbow bridge. We were devastated and, as you could imagine, were experiencing some anxiety and uncertainty about leaving the other two dogs. When we explained to Karen what happened, she provided so much comfort and security. She let us know that there wasn’t any pressure to go on the trip and assured us that if we did, she would make sure our dogs were well loved on. We ended up going to Alaska. During our trip, Karen sent us photos and videos, and made sure to give us daily updates. If we request additional photos or videos, she always sent them no questions asked. She went out of her way to make us feel at ease, and it really helped give us the space and peace of mind to process everything that happened. Having Karen care for our fur babies not only allowed us to go on a family trip, it’s also allowed us to grieve our loss without having to carry the stress of the day-to-day and making sure the other dogs were taken care of. It goes without saying, but we will definitely book with Karen again. If you’re considering hiring Karen for your pets, I highly recommend it. You will be a so happy you did. Thank you Karen. We truly appreciate you, and the love and care you extend to Doodle and Wendi while we were gone.”
