I went to Europe on a cruise. I’m so happy I found Stephen! He took excellent care of Molly and Cher in his home. He sent me pics every day! I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a dog sitter. Easy drop off and pick up.

Jamie was very kind and took great care of our dogs. She sent pictures of them and kept us updated while we were gone. They liked her and had a great time. We would definitely come back again.

Rick is absolutely the BEST! Our fur baby means everything to us and Rick takes as good of care of him as we do. Can’t imagine what we’d do if Rick wasn’t listed on this site..

This was Luckys first stay over with Dyshyn and definitely not our last. Lucky was there for one week. You can tell by your fur babies actions if things went well or if your baby is still hesitant with someone. Dyshyn sent pictures and videos during our stay which made us feel comfortable knowing that Lucky was on a great vacation away from home. The comfort Lucky showed at pickup also told me a lot to know that my baby was in great hands. I highly recommend and will plan to contact Dyshyn in the future.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I have experience with everything from playful puppies to seniors needing extra care and attention. I understand how important routines, patience, and love are when it comes to making pets feel safe and happy. Your pets will be treated like family in my care. I offer flexible boarding for pets who are comfortable hanging out at home during the day. I make sure everyone gets their energy out in the mornings, has a safe space while I’m at work, and then gets lots of love, potty breaks, and playtime in the evenings and on weekends. I treat every pet like family and make sure they’re safe and happy while you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or just a calm place to relax, I’ll make sure they’re cared for like one of my own.

My pug, Pickles, has stayed with Ashley several times now and he absolutely loves it! I love how she provides pictures and updates throughout his stay. She gets super creative with him and keeps him entertained the whole time. 10/10! ⭐️

The boarding experience was great. I was very pleased with the entire process. Leah took great care of my Lola. I will definitely book again and would suggest if you need a pet sitting service to use Leah. She is great with communication and sending updates during the stay.

Ashlyn was great with my dog and very accommodating when I missed my flight on the way home and picked up late. She was also able to groom my dog during her stay and did an excellent job

Stephanie is amazing!! After meeting her and seeing her lovely home and great yard, along with her flexible schedule, I was willing to drive about an hour from my home because I knew my dogs would receive excellent care. Stephanie was totally worth it!! She provided daily updates and photos, and I could see my dogs were happy. Then something happened that makes Stephanie the best dog sitter I've ever had: I was stuck in Houston during hurricane Harvey, and could not get a flight back home for 5 days. I reached out to Stephanie to see if I needed to arrange for someone to pick up my dogs from her, but she agreed to extend the stay until I could return!!! This was also Labor Day weekend, so I was amazed by how accommodating and understanding she was. I picked up my dogs as soon as I got back, and they had clearly loved their time with Stephanie. I can't thank her enough!

Jodie’s home was perfect for my 12+ year old lab. Very dog friendly home, few steps, fenced yard and perfect walking neighborhood. Jodie cared for dog as it was her own.

Chelsey took excellent care of my dog. She sent lots of pictures and updates on how she was doing. My dog had tons of fun with Chelsey and honestly seemed sad to leave her. I would definitely book her again !

About: What sets me apart is that I’ve grown up always having three or four dogs at a time, so caring for animals has been part of my life from the start. I also have experience raising my own puppy, which has taught me patience, consistency, and how to keep pets busy with walks, games, and basic commands. I’ve spent time around senior dogs, so I know how important it is to slow down and focus on their comfort. On top of that, I care for a few exotic pets, which has taught me to be extra responsible with routines and special needs. I’m also a CNA, so I have experience providing care, paying attention to details, and being responsible for others’ well-being. Overall, I’m reliable, attentive, and make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. Pet care is built into my daily routine. I have a dog and a few exotic animals, so every morning and evening I make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and safe while I’m at school. When I get home, I take my dog on walks, play memory games with him, and practice simple commands like sit, lay down, and shake. I’m not a trainer, but I like to keep him mentally and physically active. Each week, I also spend time cleaning enclosures, checking on my exotics, and making sure everyone has what they need. It’s just part of my day-to-day life In my home I make sure pets are safe and comfortable. I don’t have a fenced-in yard, but I do have an in-ground lead for outside time if needed. My dog doesn’t love it since he likes to stay close to me, but I keep it just in case for safety. I also have a kennel if I ever need to separate pets, though I don’t like to use it unless it’s really necessary. My dog is a puppy and super friendly—he even gets along with my mom’s ankle-biting chihuahua—so he’s used to being around different personalities. I know it might sound concerning that I’m in school, but don’t let that worry you—my pets are always well taken care of when I’m gone. Day to day, I focus on giving pets attention, playtime, and making sure their needs are met so they feel at home.

About: I am a pet lover of my Bichon Frise companions for 30 years now. My original beloved "Buster" was a special needs dog with constant care due to his epileptic seizures. With this past experience, and senior care to the end of his 16 year life, I am more aware of a pets needs than most caregivers. I have also had pets such as cats, birds, and my current lionhead bunny; Cadbury. I am flexible with your pets daily routine requests. I can accommodate morning and evening walks and will be available throughout the day as needed. I have a large yard for their bathroom breaks and my dog Gracie can accompany. There are also several dogs in the neighborhood to socialize with during their walks.
