“Look no further! Joann was the greatest taking care of our elderly, special need, Jack Russell. Throughout her visits, she communicated appropriately and was very dependable. More importantly, she is very sweet, kind, and professional. It really meant a lot to know our baby was so well cared for. Without any hesitation, she is highly recommended! 🩶”
“This was my second time booking her, and once again, she was wonderful!

I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

About: Growing up around dogs and having two of my own, I understand the separation anxiety of leaving them at home for long periods or for vacations (been there!). I also understand if you have specific lists of needs as well (been there too!) So I will ensure your doggo is well loved and you get as much contact from me as you need to feel comfortable. I am currently a grad student, so most of my days are spent at home or being active outside (I like walking, hiking and I run 5-6x/week). This makes my days very flexible with what I can fit into my schedule. I can guarantee they will fit right in. If we book an appointment, that means my time is now theirs! I can stay over if your pet likes their home, or I have a fenced yard with a large doggie door for in/out access. I also have a separate doggie couch we can chill on and they are welcome to get on the bed at night (unless you have a no-furniture rule!) I do pick up backyard waste wherever they stay. It's no fun playing in poo...or coming home to a yard full of it! I just had to say goodbye to my beloved chocolate lab/vizsla from cancer who was a tripod, so your doggo would have the run of the house. This also means I can give medication and look after dogs that need extra care.
“Daizsha took great care of our cats while we were gone over the holidays. Clearly a very kind and thoughtful person, I would recommend her! She stayed in touch and communicated well, and interacted with the girls a lot. We really appreciate her.”
“Minh was terrific! She took great care of our pets, was a great problem-solver when a couple things didn’t go as planned and we would absolutely recommend her!”
“Nataly was absolutely incredible. I have a chihuahua and she’s extremely shy, but after a day she already trusted Nataly! Nataly was so patient and very communicative, I would def be using nataly’s services again in the future.”
About: With 4 years of hands-on pet care, I’ve worked with dogs of all kinds—from playful pups to rescues needing extra patience and structure. I’ve fostered dogs with fear-based behaviors, low socialization, and leash reactivity, and helped them grow more confident through trust-building, calm leadership, and positive reinforcement. I began basic training with both fosters, working on leash skills, handling, and commands to set them up for success in their forever homes. I also trained my own golden retriever from puppyhood using positive-reinforcement methods and a focus on building a strong, trusting relationship. He’s now a friendly, well-mannered pup who loves to play and welcomes other dogs into our home. I provide a calm, loving home where pups can relax, play, and feel safe. I work from home 2–3 days per week, which means plenty of companionship, potty breaks, and enrichment throughout the day. On the days I work away from home, I’m gone no more than 7 hours—and never overnight. My home is in a walkable area with no elevators and easy access to an off-leash dog park. There’s plenty of space for your pup to feel comfortable, plus a well-socialized golden retriever who loves having a playmate. I keep a clean environment with clear, consistent boundaries inside and on leash, ensuring your pup gets structure, love, and attention that meets their unique needs—whether they’re playful, shy, or somewhere in between. When caring for your pup in your home, I prioritize keeping things consistent and comfortable. I take the time to understand your routines, rules, and preferences so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. Every household—and every dog—is different, and I’m here to support your style of care. Whether that means sticking to a specific walking schedule, reinforcing house rules, or maintaining feeding rituals, I’ll follow your lead to ensure your pup feels safe, secure, and right at home.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds and personalities. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like they’re my own—whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet cuddle time. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have flexible availability throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins. Whether it’s early mornings, midday visits, or evening care, I can adapt to meet each pet’s needs reliably and consistently. For me personally, I take my dogs on a walk in the morning. When I get home we go for another walk. And before we go to bed, we go on another walk and have playtime. Whether caring for pets in my home or at the client’s, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comforting environment. I follow their usual routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. This makes them feel secure and happy. In my home, I provide a pet-friendly space with lots of love and attention. In the client’s home, I treat it with respect and keep pets relaxed in their familiar surroundings.

About: I grew up around animals all my life. My mother was a talented vet tech and with her I helped take care of many different breeds of dogs, cats and more! I have plenty of time in the afternoon and evenings to care for your pets well being. I work through the week so weekends are a great option too! I live in a safe and quiet neighborhood with other pet owners. My backyard has a secure fence so your dog can enjoy an outside play area. I also have a greenway close by that is great for walks!

Brett S.Star Sitter
“Brett cared for our black lab puppy Knox for a week this past summer. Brett stayed at our home and exceeded our expectations of the care we desired. He not only took regular walks and gave ample attention to our attention-starved puppy, but he also checked our mail and kept our outdoor cat fed. He had also returned the home to the way we had left it, leaving it clean and tidy as if he never stayed at our house. This is one of the best experiences we have had with pet care. We have used doggy hotels in the past, but our pets have come home with kennel cough or with withdrawal issues. We did not experience any negative issues in working with Brett. We would highly recommend him and plan to use his services again in the future.”

Gabriella K.
“I cannot recommend Gabriella highly enough as a dog sitter! She has watched my Great Pyrenees multiple times, and each time I’ve felt completely confident and at ease knowing my pup was in the best hands. Not only is she incredibly reliable and caring, but she is also exceptionally knowledgeable about dog behavior and training. Her experience with dogs truly shows—she understands their needs, communicates with them effectively, and always provides a calm, structured environment. My dog absolutely adores her, and it’s clear the feeling is mutual. From long walks to thoughtful updates, Gabriella goes above and beyond every time. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like their own and has the skills to handle any situation, Gabriella is the one. She’s a rare find, and I’m so grateful to have her as part of my dog’s life!”

“Edna is so wonderful. She always arrives on time and is really caring and excellent with my animals. I have two dogs and a cat. My animals love her and sometimes I think they love her more than me. She’s super dependable and anytime I’m in a tight spot I give her a call. She easily went from being my 2nd or 3rd option to always being my 1st call now. I highly recommend Edna!”
Phillip H.
“Phillip was amazing with my 4 dogs! He ensured they were comfortable and had plenty of playtime while I was away, in addition to caring for my bunny. He went above and beyond which gave me a great peace of mind. He seems to really love working with animals of all sorts and keeping in constant communication so you know what is going on with your babies while you are away. He is a reliable sitter that I highly recommend!”
