Elicia did an amazing job watching our doodle, Finley. She stayed at our house and made sure he was taken care of. I would certainly book with Elicia again.

We could not have been more pleased with Rhonda watching our 2 girls. She arrived on time, sent us pictures of how everything was going, and engaged with our girls. I would highly recommend Rhonda to watch your pets.

This was Ashley’s first time taking care of Annie and all was well. Annie can be fearful and timid but Ashley made sure Annie had everything she needed while I was out of town for a wedding.

About: Hi! My name is Quinn. Do you want a fun, experienced, and responsible dog sitter? than you've come to the right place! I am an 18 year old girl who is passionate about animals, dogs specifically! The dogs go on 6 or 7 walks every day around our beautiful neighborhood, and we love taking them down the bike paths and to a dog park! The dogs get to have exciting fun filled days of playing and going on walks. we own three other dogs, Millie, Kaia, and Greta that will love your furry friends. They are full of energy, and will wear your dogs out by running around the yard at full speed! Your dogs will love to play outside on our 20 acres of land. The dogs are always with me when we (my family or I) are outside. We go on long walks, as in over an hour! When we aren't walking with your dog, we will be playing in our yard or the playing inside the house. The dogs are part of our family and we treat them as our own. My family has owned dogs for 30+ years and I have had the responsibility of taking care of our dogs for 8+ years. Please provide the following for your friends before you leave them with us for their vacation: A crate. We understand that your dogs will need some time to themselves, so we always crate inside at night. This way you can sleep soundly knowing your dogs are safe, and they won't get in trouble while we're asleep. Your dog will feel more comfortable in his own crate. You can also bring a small blanket, bed or maybe one of your shirts that we can put in their crate for her/him. Food. Please provide an adequate amount of food that your dog normally eats. Please bring the kind of food your dog is used to eating, and let us know how much and how often your pupper eats. Toys, treats, a bed, leash, collar, harness etc. We can provide some of these things if you don't have them but if you have them, please bring it. Your happy dog, and peace of mind knowing that your dog might just be having a better vacation than you! Pet care fits naturally into my day-to-day life because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently don’t have a full-time job, which means I’m extremely flexible and available—perfect for dogs who need extra attention, consistency, or a customized schedule. I’m organized and responsible, so I can easily balance feeding, walking, playtime, and any special needs with the rest of my day. Taking care of pets adds something meaningful to my routine, and I truly enjoy every moment I spend with them. It’s not just a task, it’s something I take pride in. When dog sitting, I make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home. I stick closely to their regular routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions you provide. I give them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise to keep them happy and healthy while you’re away. I also monitor their behavior and well-being, and I’m quick to notice if anything seems off. Whether it’s giving belly rubs, tossing a favorite toy, or just keeping them company, I treat every dog like they’re my own.

About: I’ve had pets before I could even walk. Lots of experience with all types of dogs and cats of all ages. Your pets will be treated the same as my own with love and care. I currently work from home and do not work weekends. I have availability during the week during my lunches and after work and also anytime during the weekends I currently live in an apartment building that provides me and pooch with a long walking trail. My pets are treated as family in my home and yours will be treated the exact same way!

About: Throughout my life, I have been surrounded by a variety of pets, and my love for animals has only deepened with each experience. My deep love for pets, combined with my caregiving experience, allows me to approach each animal with the attention and care they need. I am dedicated to ensuring that their health and happiness are prioritized, treating them with the same love and respect as I would my own beloved dog, Buster. I look forward to the opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of pets and their owners! I’m currently getting my Master degree all of my classes are online which allows for my schedule to be flexible. I also caretaker for a girl with Down syndrome which has profoundly shaped my understanding of compassion, patience, and responsibility. This experience has taught me to approach every living being with empathy and respect, ensuring that their needs are always prioritized this is a vital skill in all levels of care taking whether it’s a person or a beloved pet. My own dog also feels like a person sometimes I’d do anything for him! In terms of safety and my home environment, I have an open yard where pets can play and explore freely in a secure setting. My home features two bedrooms, one of which can be designated as a quiet space for pets needing rest or can accommodate their crates if necessary. I also have a medium portable kennel that can be utilized for added comfort and security. My dog is friendly and well-socialized, but I believe in the importance of a proper introduction, so I would like to arrange a meet-and-greet before allowing any animal to stay over. Additionally, I'm more than happy to care for pets in their own homes, ensuring that they receive familiar and loving attention. Your pet's welfare is my top priority, and I am committed to providing a safe and loving environment tailored to their needs.

About: I walk, feed, bathe, play, and always give pups lots of attention! Dogs are my favorite and I always enjoy making new dog friends. I enjoy every little thing I get to do with dogs. I don’t work many hours during the week. I am available most days of the week so I am always able to watch dogs when needed. I am home every night so I can watch them overnight. I have a very friendly puppy who loves other dogs and can be around multiple dogs. I always make sure that anyones dog is in a safe environment. I hardly ever leave them unattended and unsupervised. We go for walks very often when it is nice out. I take my puppy outside to go potty at least once an hour if not more. I always make sure everyone is fed and happy.

She had excellent communication throughout the stay and definitely gave Maggie that "home away from home" experience. Will definitely use Sasha again if she's not already booked!

About: I have had dogs my whole life and I volunteered at a rescue walking the big dogs. I had tons of fun doing this because I love animals and playing with them. Pet care fits my daily routine because there are many time within the day I have nothing going on. My main hobbies are going to the gym so as long as I get there I’m happy! I take care of my dogs very well. We make sure they are feed twice a day and get daily exercise. We always make sure to use commands and treat them when they listen.

About: I’ve taken care of pets & cared for peoples homes ever since I was 12. I started in Wisconsin, by starting to pet sit one of our neighbors dogs- then we ended up moving around a bit & I eventually got more into it. I’m always wanting to meet people’s animals, it would be really nice opportunity to get back into pet sitting, walking, boarding, etc! I’m currently enrolled in college, however, i don’t start until september 5th. I just moved here, and my job got transferred over so i don’t have any hours just yet. They don’t give me many hours anyway, so i’ve been on the search for a couple more job opportunities. I really want to save some money! I have plenty of time for the next couple weeks! I care for pets depending on the service you’re looking for! I haven’t boarded pets before, I’d like to talk to you about it first before letting an unknown pet into my home. Anyways, no matter what service, I’m always gentle with animals and i’ll always put them first. I love getting to play with them & bonding with them!

Ella was fantastic and clearly a true animal lover. Her family lives on a property that would constitute a heavenly atmosphere for any animal lucky enough to stay on their property. We will continue to use Ella for our beloved Rufus as often as we need. We would like to thank Ella and the rest of the Rice family for the love they showed Rufus while in their care. It meant the world to us truly, and to him. ? Sincerely, The Palmers

About: I walk, feed, bathe, play, and always give pups lots of attention! Dogs are my favorite and I always enjoy making new dog friends. I enjoy every little thing I get to do with dogs. I don’t work many hours during the week. I am available most days of the week so I am always able to watch dogs when needed. I am home every night so I can watch them overnight. I have a very friendly puppy who loves other dogs and can be around multiple dogs. I always make sure that anyones dog is in a safe environment. I hardly ever leave them unattended and unsupervised. We go for walks very often when it is nice out. I take my puppy outside to go potty at least once an hour if not more. I always make sure everyone is fed and happy.

Sasha did an amazing job caring for Maggie! Loved all the photos and videos of our smiling pup! She had excellent communication throughout the stay and definitely gave Maggie that "home away from home" experience. Will definitely use Sasha again if she's not already booked! Thanks so much for the fun times and snuggles Sasha!

About: I’ve taken care of pets & cared for peoples homes ever since I was 12. I started in Wisconsin, by starting to pet sit one of our neighbors dogs- then we ended up moving around a bit & I eventually got more into it. I’m always wanting to meet people’s animals, it would be really nice opportunity to get back into pet sitting, walking, boarding, etc! I’m currently enrolled in college, however, i don’t start until september 5th. I just moved here, and my job got transferred over so i don’t have any hours just yet. They don’t give me many hours anyway, so i’ve been on the search for a couple more job opportunities. I really want to save some money! I have plenty of time for the next couple weeks! I care for pets depending on the service you’re looking for! I haven’t boarded pets before, I’d like to talk to you about it first before letting an unknown pet into my home. Anyways, no matter what service, I’m always gentle with animals and i’ll always put them first. I love getting to play with them & bonding with them!
