“Howard was so helpful to us with a last-minute booking and early morning drop-off for daycare for our Cavalier Coco. He was also responsive and kind. Thank you!”


“Jieun and Ollie thank you! It was such a wonderful experience to leave my dog with Jieun. I met Jieun and Ollie on video chat the night before and sent over some questions and request to have a long walk or time to run around outside since I was going on and 2 hour drive after picking her up and she offered to take my dog to the dog park! I received pictures throughout the day ❤️ Very grateful to have found someone I trust completely with my pup! Will definitely book again! Also Ollie is the sweetest!”

“Jill is great! We did a meet and greet and then later, I dropped my pup off for a full day. Ollie loves playing w her dogs and even met cats for the first time! Jill has the perfect yard for a lot of running and chasing and she even has a kiddie pool out for the dogs. When the weather is bad, she has a room for them to chill out in. We will definitely be using Jill again!!”

During my high school/college years my mother trained 5 different dogs for guiding eyes for the blind which I helped in the training process as well while home.

“Princes Leia had a great stay at Maxi's. We got pictures of her playing and she was super tired when we picked her up.”


“Mary-Ellen took care of our blind Shih Tzu, "Peanut" for the day in her home this past weekend and was just AMAZING with her! She was so interested to find out all the little details ahead of time to ensure that they had a fun and comfortable day. Because of Peanut's special needs, my boyfriend and I are very nervous about leaving her with sitters, but after meeting Mary-Ellen, we felt sure that she would be in the best of hands. Mary-Ellen sent updates throughout the day along with several photos so I could see what fun they were having. Mary Ellen's home is adorable and sparkling clean, and as an added bonus, her daughter and Peanut really hit it off and had a wonderful time together. We would highly recommend Mary Ellen to others and will definitely book her again in the future.”


“Great individual that was very caring of my pup. He taught me a very valuable lesson when walking my dog. Walks are WAY better now. Thanks again Roger.”


About: I I have a unique background in dog sitting that sets me apart from others. For years, I’ve lovingly cared for my own 16-year-old rescue dog, who had special needs. This experience taught me how to provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each dog’s individual requirements, especially senior dogs who need a little extra support and patience. In addition to senior care, I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, gaining valuable insights into their different needs and personalities. I also have hands-on experience with puppies, ever since I adopted my golden retriever as a puppy—she’s now 2 years old and absolutely loves other dogs. Living within walking distance of the beach, I’m always excited to take dogs on outdoor adventures, making sure they have a fantastic time during their stay with me. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, playtime, or simply extra snuggles, I’m dedicated to keeping every dog happy, comfortable, and safe. I am currently self-employed and work on my own time virtually. I am pretty much home all day everyday! I love being outside and going on long walks with the dogs I sit for. I have a yard with a stake for safe outdoor time, and I live within walking distance to the water—so the dogs will be going on plenty of walks and adventures.

About: I’ve been caring for animals on a farm and riding horses since I could walk. I’ve went to animal and plant science classes and AG mechanics and I’ve walked dogs in my neighborhood since I was 8. I’m comfortable feeding and walking neurological disordered animals since fosters and customers gave me experience and knowledge in. I love reptiles and have much knowledge in caring after fish and I love connecting to these charming and amazing animals. I have a seasonal job, and I love working with animals and caring for fosters when needed so I’m happy to work with your schedule ! I give my pets the best unprocessed food and I follow instructions for the feeding and understand my pets necessities. I love going for hikes and walks or playing with the pups. I would do overnight stays to keep them company and look after the house.


About: I am an animal lover and have been since I was hatched! That's a long time. I have never not had at least one dog, cat, or fish. Presently I have 2 dogs, 2 cats and 2 fish. I have socialized feral cats, raised raccoons, rabbits, turtles, ferrets, cats, dogs of all kinds. I currently babysit part time, my kids are grown and I have plenty of time to devote to your petcare needs. I have been a paid pet care giver for over 20 years. I have the best behaved dogs on the block (because they trained me correctly). I do not spoil my dogs or treat them like children and I wont do that to yours, unless you really want me to. If you want them on your couch or your bed, that's what will happen. I will not spoil them by allowing them to do things that are not normally done. If I stay at your home, you can be rest assured that you will come home to a house that looks the same or is even cleaner than when you left! Whether your pet stays with me or I come to them, I promise that they will be care cared for, loved and treated with kindness and respect. I have relevent references. I am a college graduate, a good driver, physically able and I do not smoke. Please consider me for your petcare needs.
