Ashley is amazing. Reliable, responsive, flexible, trustworthy and incredibly kind. She did drop in visits for us for a week while we were away and sent us updates, pictures and videos and made us feel so comfortable knowing our girls were being cared for. Will definitely book with her again!

We’ve hired Madison to dogsit a few times now and she is always so reliable and couldn’t treat our pups better! She’s a pleasure to communicate with and is always thorough with her updates on how the dogs are doing. We look forward to working with her more in the future!

Liz was perfect! I needed someone on short notice and she came through for stopping by to feed my cat while I was out of town for a few days. She even returned for an additional night when I was running late. Nothing but good things to say about Liz!

About: Hi! I am Kaitlyn! A Loving and dependable pet sitter experienced with dogs, cats (including seniors), and bunnies. I provide attentive, compassionate care and treat every pet like family. I have 2 dogs that live with me. They have lived with my family and i for the past 12 years. I am their primary caretaker, which requires me to do everything with them, walking them, feeding them administering medicine and of course, we cannot forget play playtime. In my home one of our senior dogs has diabetes and I have to give him insulin shots. Also he has to be taken out every 30 mins to a hour. In the past I have dog sat blind and deaf dogs so i have experience with that as well.

Sarah is absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond by checking in on both of my dogs, even though she was only required to check on one. It really shows her dedication and love for animals. My pups were so happy and well cared for, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

About: I’ve always been around pets as they have always given me a sense of purpose. The unconditional love they give is unmatched in the world we live in. The feeling I get to watch the wag of a tail or the purrrrr of a kitty is satisfying and fulfilling. Being an empty nest mom to my puppies is awesome. Knowing that we all have lives, yet want the best for our fur babies is where I found my niche. Giving them what you want to give them but can’t because of responsibilities is where I am able to make a difference for YOU and them. It’s enjoyment for me and piece of mind for you knowing that they are getting the BEST care and attention when you can’t be there As mentioned, being an empty nester and not having nearly as much mom related responsibilities, caring for pets is an everyday desire. I am flexible and available most times. I do not however embark in overnight sitting I will care for pets as if they are MY OWN and to the guidelines of the pet owner. My pets are disciplined and love to play and cuddle. I’ll care for all fur babies the same way as I do my own.

About: As a dog trainer, daycare provider, and dog mom myself, I know every dog is different and deserves care tailored to their individual personality, comfort level, and needs. Whether your dog loves to play all day, prefers a calm environment, needs extra structure, or simply wants a cozy place to relax, my goal is always to create a safe, enriching, and low-stress experience. I focus heavily on: • structured play & socialization • engagement & enrichment • clear communication • safe dog handling • individualized care Your dog deserves more than just a place to stay. They deserve to feel understood, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away 🫶 Dog care is my full-time career. As a professional dog trainer and daycare provider, my daily routine revolves around the dogs in my care. Each day includes supervised play, enrichment activities, potty breaks, structured rest periods, feeding routines, and individual attention based on each dog's needs. Because I work from home with dogs, guests are rarely left alone and are actively monitored throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys adventure, social time, training games, or simply relaxing in a comfortable environment, I strive to provide a safe and enriching experience from drop-off to pick-up. Safety is my top priority. I am a professional dog trainer with experience managing dogs of different ages, temperaments, and play styles. All dogs are carefully introduced, supervised, and matched appropriately. I use crates, gates, leashes, and rotations when needed to create a safe and low-stress environment for everyone. My home includes dedicated dog spaces for play, enrichment, rest, and safe separation when appropriate. Dogs are never expected to "work it out" on their own and are actively supervised during interactions. Cleanliness is also a major priority. Dog areas are routinely cleaned and disinfected using pet-safe products, and I maintain strict sanitation practices between guests. I take time to learn each dog's personality, preferences, and comfort level so I can provide individualized care rather than a one-size-fits-all experience.

Highly recommended! Could not have asked for better sitter. Justin took excellent care of both our dogs. Our dog Cas has special needs and can be a real handful for most people but not for Justin. Will definitely use him again!

About: Hello! I'm a stay-at-home mom with two dogs and one cat. In addition to taking care of my own pets, I have fostered numerous dogs of all sizes and ages. My specialty is medium to large, active dogs who need exercise. I enjoy running and hiking, so if you have a dog who needs outdoor time, please contact me! I also have experience with sick animals who need special care. I have nursed several dogs back to health, including fosters and the strays who find me. I'm available to visit your home for your pet's needs, to feed, walk, administer medication, as well as provide transportation to vet appointments. Our house has extra rooms to board and babysit pets. There is plenty of space in our yard and neighborhood for walks, running, and playtime. I'm excited to meet you and your pet to see how I can be there for you! I'm a stay-at-home mom to three older/independent kids and a baby. I am looking forward to getting out of the house to walk your dogs, provide drop-in care, and/or dogsitting and boarding at my home. I have worked with rescue dogs with violent backgrounds or stress from the shelter. I can read their body language and make sure they are comfortable with me and our environment. Your dog will stay on a leash unless we are in a fenced area. My backyard is fenced in, and I have a finished basement with kennels if your dog needs a quiet place. My two dogs are very friendly, so if your dog is interested in playing, they will be introduced. My dogs are up-to-date on their vaccines.
