About: I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life, so caring for animals isn’t something I’m just trying out—it’s something that has been part of my life for decades. I’ve cared for pets at every stage, from energetic puppies and curious kittens to older pets who need a little extra patience, attention, and care. One experience that especially shaped how I care for animals was adopting a geriatric dog whose owners had passed away. Taking on an older dog taught me that sometimes the best pet care is simply being patient, paying attention to the little things, and making an animal feel safe and comfortable. What I bring to pet sitting is that same mindset. I want your pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away—not like they're being "watched" by a stranger. I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, quirks, and needs, and I treat every pet as an individual. Whether your dog wants to play all day, your cat prefers to observe from across the room, or your senior pet needs a slower pace and extra TLC, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time at home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and companionship. I’m happy to work around their normal routines, including meals, walks, playtime, medications, and downtime. When house sitting, I’m able to make your pet a priority while still maintaining a normal daily routine. I understand that every pet is different—some need lots of activity and attention, while others are happiest with a quiet, comfortable presence nearby. My goal is to keep their routine as close to normal as possible while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for someone’s pets and home. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show mine, and I follow the owner’s instructions and the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, feeding schedule, medications, and any special needs before their owner leaves. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior or anything that seems unusual, particularly with senior pets who may require a little extra observation. When house sitting, I keep the home secure, clean up after the pets, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and companionship. My goal is for both the pet and their owner to feel comfortable, safe, and confident while they’re away.
“What an awesome person and a great sitter! Ms. Deborah is very professional and will make sure you are up to date on how your puppy is doing. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Nicolas and his girlfriend were amazing. Always sending pictures and spoiling Benson, just as he was at home. I did not have to worry about him the entire time. I will definitely be rebooking soon.”
“Mary is great! She's watched my dog several times, and always sends lots of pictures and is very responsive. My dog gets excited when we pull into her complex. Definitely recommend!”
“Kathyrn was the best! She was so warm and attentive with Caesar and Halo, and I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care. She kept me updated and made it clear they were being loved on while I was away. I’m so glad I found her and hope she’ll be our permanent dog sitter!”
“Dayanna is super sweet and took great care of my golden retriever Penny. She’s very polite and professional in her communication, and she was accommodating with my change in time requests. I would definitely recommend and rebook with her in the future. :)”
“Ghost had such a wonderful time visiting with his new friends! They were very accommodating and welcomed us with a last-minute visit! Highly recommend this wonderful couple and would definitely use them again❤️”
“There are not enough words to thank Lynne, Luis, & the rest of the family for taking such good care of our fur baby! They were amazing about updates, pictures, and making us feel she was safe and well cared for while we were away. Thanks a bunch! P.S: Love, Frida 🐾🐩🐶”
About: I've cared for many animals over the years, but have the most experience with small dogs and cats. I am comfortable with feeding, routines, bathing, and medication needs. I'm especially fond of small dogs and understand how much consistency. patient, and attention they need to feel safe in a new environment. I keep boarding limited so each pet gets plenty of individual care, supervision, and affection. I work from home so have a flexible schedule. This allows me to build pet care naturally into my day. I'm home often so can provide regular feeding, potty breaks, playtime, supervision, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I prefer caring for a small number of pets at a time so I can keep their routine consistent and maker sure they feel comfortable and secure. My home is calm, clean, and comfortable, and I keep the number of pets I board small so I can supervise them closely. I follow each pet's normal feeding, potty, sleep, and medication routine as much as possible. I introduce pets carefully, keep an eye on interactions, and can separate pets when needed so everyone has a safe place to relax.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve worked professionally with dogs for over 12 years. I actually got my start through Rover, which led me into working at a pet resort, then into dog training, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Along the way, I earned my degree in psychology, which gave me an even deeper understanding of behavior, communication, patience, and creating trust — not just with people, but with animals too. I’m especially good at reading body language, helping anxious pets feel comfortable, and maintaining routines that keep pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or just wants calm companionship and cuddles, I tailor my care to their personality and needs. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always make sure owners feel updated and reassured with communication and photos throughout the stay. Pet care is something I genuinely love doing, and I’m excited to provide a safe, reliable, and positive experience for both you and your pets 🐾 As of right now I am unemployed and looking to make any extra money so I’m pretty open and available! Can do drop ins, walks, doggy day care at home, or house/dog sit! I’m very well versed in animal behavior and safety. So it’s easy to anticipate things I need to pay attention for according to each dog I’m with.
“Our fur baby felt right at home with Stephanie! He was treated like a king and was happy and relaxed while away from home. The daily updates and pics gave us peace of mind. We've already booked our next stay!”
“Sarah is gentle and kind! My dog instantly fell in love with her. She keeps you undated daily and genuinely cares about you and your dog! I would use her services again and again!”
“Christopher was amazing sitter for my Malcolm. He kept me well informed and sent pictures as well. My Malcolm is a pretty energetic baby and Christopher had so much patience with him. Thank You!”
“Elizabeth did such a good job taking care of our 2 Scotties. She made them feel right at home. They love her huge fenced yard to sniff in and play with other dogs. We feel very comfortable leaving them with her.”
“Anna is a gem!! She was very responsive and I was so thankful she accepted my last minute request. From the moment we walked in the door, she was very welcoming and let our dog, Watson, explore at his own pace. When they introduced their dog to him after I left, they got along so well. It was a perfect fit! Anna also provided plenty of updates, pictures, and videos throughout his stay. We will absolutely be using her again. If you have a small dog, I highly recommend her!”

Laura is the absolute best!! She provides our dog with great care and love! She sends pictures and a note every day. The pictures show that Hank is completely at home there and very well taken care of. He loves it there! I would give 10 stars if that were an option!!
We had an amazing experience using Adam and RJ! We left our two dogs for a week, and we were very pleased with how the stay went. They sent plenty of pictures and updates. Our dogs had lots of fun playing with their two Great Danes. You can tell Adam and RJ love dogs. We will definitely use them again and would recommend them to anybody!
Teddy had a great time with Giovanni. It was our first time leaving Teddy and Giovanni made it easier with many pictures and videos. Teddy enjoyed playing with other dogs and came home very happy and tired.!!’ we would definitely use Giovanni in the future and would recommend him to our friends.
Kathy was wonderful with my girls. She was always communicating with me and sending me daily updates and pics. She was very detailed with preliminary questions about preferences and their routines. A clean, well kept home and I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch them in the future.
I cannot recommend Lisa enough! She was very communicative from start to finish, always keeping us updated with photos and little check-ins that gave us so much peace of mind. She cared for Rocky like he was her own and paid attention to all the things that make him feel safe and loved. It’s really hard to find someone you fully trust with your pup, but she exceeded every expectation. Truly so grateful for her. Rocky adored her, and so did we! 🐾💗
