“Amazing! Picked up our dog and he was as happy as could be! They sent plenty of photos and updates! Nanuk had plenty of friends to play with and definitely did not want to leave!! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boy!!!”
“My dog spent 3 days of daycare with Elizabeth and she was more and more excited to get out of the car and run into her house each day. She came home tired after a good day of playing and it was clear she was well taken care of and had fun.”
“Sandy is great with my puppy! He is very high energy and I work long shifts but she makes sure he gets plenty of exercise so that he is tired when I pick him up. I am happy to have found her :)”
“Rosa and her family are so amazing! We had an emergency and she was able to book immediately. We don’t live in the area either so this was a big help! Also, my dog does not get along with bigger dogs, usually. But he loved her dog, Franca! if I could give her 1 million stars, I would. 💖. Thank you for saving our day!”
“Xada is so happy to go to doggy day care!! She is played out and the end of the day!!! Love the pictures of her play time! So happy to have someone reliable, trustworthy , VERSATILE and FUN!! 🐾🐾❤️”
“I am lucky to have had Vasumathy help me with pup-care. The pics and video Vasu sent me Day #1 showed me a happy dog. Day #2 confirmed it. My little guy was making his trademark excited noises from the car as we approached Vasu's house. Care included indoor play with toys, nice long walks, birdwatching from the window, visits upstairs with Vasu's husband, and, of course, meals and treats. TY so much Vasu (and Rajesh) for giving Bodhi such terrific care while I was at work. I felt totally at peace during his stay with you. :)”
“Wonderful experience for us and for Gus The Wonder Dog. We indicated at booking we would drop him off between 9 and 9:30 am and pick him up between 4 and 4:30 pm. We discovered before we dropped him off the first morning that our group would be eating dinner about 3 miles from the sitter's home. To pick him up at 4:30, return him to the B&B, and then drive back to dinner venue would have added about 15 - 18 miles of driving in somewhat heavy traffic. I asked if we could pick him up after dinner”
About: We are a family of pet lovers. We have three cats and a dog. I've been responsible for caring for pets since I was little and have always really enjoyed the company of animals and getting to know each individual personality. During my teens and early 20's I did a lot of house and pet sitting for friends and family who have described me as very responsible, caring, reliable and trustworthy. I am a photographer and work from home. Over weekends and in the evening my wife is also available to assists with taking care of your fur baby/babies. My latest available pick-up/drop-off time is between 7-8PM. I have a small fenced yard and a large home. Our home has three cats and one dog. We also have a sun room where "private dining" is an option for your pet, if needed.
About: I have had dogs my whole life and they are truly a blessing to the world. I have experience with big and small dogs. I have trained my own puppy as well as my childhood animals. I am currently working full time and can provide evening care for second shift workers during the week. I can provide morning-evening care during the weekends as those are my days off. I live in a small apartment so traveling to your home to see your baby is a must. I want your baby to feel comfortable in their own home as well!
About: I speak fluent 'large breed' – from Great Dane drama to Mastiff moodiness, I've been bilingual in Big Dog for decades. My credentials? A lifetime degree from the University of Oversized Paws, currently pursuing my Master's with Gemma, my 100-pound Husky/Akita mix who doubles as my quality control manager. She's basically my co-interviewer – if your pup passes the Gemma Test, they're golden. I get that XL dogs aren't just bigger – they're different. They need someone who understands that a 'small' accident involves industrial-grade cleanup, that counter-surfing is an Olympic sport, and that their idea of a lap dog is... optimistic. My setup? Spacious home with a 6-foot privacy fence (because nobody wants their Saint Bernard becoming the neighborhood's unwanted visitor), plus plenty of indoor space for those inevitable zoomies. Even Rogue, my 13-year-old cat, has made peace with the chaos – she just upgraded to executive suite living upstairs. Bottom line: Your gentle giant won't be treated like a small dog who hit the gym. They'll get the specialized, size-appropriate care they deserve – and the belly rubs that require actual arm strength. Pet care doesn't fit into our routine – it IS our routine. We're basically a 24/7 doggy daycare masquerading as a normal household. I work from home (translation: I'm the treat dispenser with Wi-Fi), and my husband is home full-time (aka Chief Belly Rub Officer and Emergency Ball Thrower). Your pup will have round-the-clock supervision from two certified couch potatoes who've perfected the art of simultaneous laptop typing and ear scratching. We're like helicopter parents, but for dogs – and with better snacks. No 'checking in every few hours' situation here. We're the couple who probably talks to dogs more than humans on most days, and honestly? We're not mad about it. Basically, your dog won't just be staying with us – they'll be joining our very committed, very ridiculous pack where someone's always available for the important stuff: immediate attention when a leaf moves suspiciously, emergency treat distribution, and professional-grade 'who's a good dog?' consultations. Safety first, fun second, existential crisis about how much we love your dog third. Our home operates on the 'Fort Knox meets Disneyland' principle – maximum security with maximum fun. That 6-foot privacy fence isn't just for show; it's our version of a velvet rope at an exclusive club where only the goodest boys and girls get VIP access. House rules are simple: gates stay locked (we're not running a doggy escape room), fresh water is always available (hydration is key to optimal zoomies), and Gemma serves as our live-in safety inspector – she's got a PhD in 'Is This New Friend Sketchy?' For boarding guests, sleeping arrangements include premium couch real estate or our actual bed (because let's be honest, you're not keeping a Great Pyrenees on a dog bed). Climate-controlled comfort year-round, with immediate access to emergency cuddles and 3 AM 'did you hear that?' investigations. We're basically helicopter parents who've extended our neuroses to include your dog. Every door gets double-checked, every interaction gets supervised, and yes, we absolutely will send you way too many photos of your pup doing absolutely nothing newsworthy. Think of us as your dog's personal secret service – vigilant, dedicated, and probably overthinking everything.
“Amber's husband took very good care of our Bisous. I was nervous leaving her because it was my first time using a dog sitter. Everything went well and he was very attentive to her. The other dogs were bigger than her but he made sure she was comfortable and that the dogs all got along well. They have a nice big fenced in yard which makes it nice on a sunny day for the dogs to be outside. I would recommend them to other dog owners.”
About: I am an Occupational Therapist currently working flexible part-time hours and am looking to make some new fur-baby friends! With the passing of our two 14 year old springer spaniels, my husband and I are finding ourselves with lots of time, energy, and love to give to our canine and feline neighbors. While our hearts are not ready to take on a new family member, we are still very much inclined toward the role of pet care (i.e., taking walks, energetic play, distance walking, etc.) Through the years, we have enjoyed raising and loving dogs, cats, guinea pigs, lizards, hamsters, ducks, turtles, and fish along the way. I have never met a dog or cat that I didn't love being around, and I'm sure your pet will be no exception! Animals really are man's best friends, and I would love to have the opportunity to give some special attention to your fur baby while you are away! I understand that care of your pet is a sacred charge. I am very willing to accommodate your pet's special needs. I would 100% be willing to meet with you prior to services to ensure that I am the right fit for your pet! :) I know all too well the stress associated with leaving your pet, whether it be for just a few hours or for an entire week. Rest assured that your pet will be in loving hands in my care. My husband and I work part-time and/or from home and would be available most of the day to take care of and be companions to your pet(s). We have a backyard that is not fenced, but we can leash walk your dog multiple times a day for toileting and exercise. We also have long leash tie-ups longer outdoor time. We have a crate in our family room that can provide your dog some calming quiet time if you choose. For cats, we have a sun room which gets plenty of light and has a variety of cat activities, including a 6-foot cat tree.
About: I recently had 2 years of experience working as a Veterinarian Assistant at an animal hospital, which provided me with a wide range of knowledge and skills working with animals. I also now have a pup of my own, named Harley! Additionally, I have grown up with dogs in my household who were the best pets ever. In terms of other experience, I have worked for multiple families to pet sit or dog walk for the last 10 years. Specifically, my best friend's family has 4 dogs, and more than 15 farm animals. They have trusted me multiple weeks and weekends to dog sit and house sit for their animals. It is the best and perfect job for me. I do work a full-time job, in-office Monday through Friday. However, it is very close to my home so I am available for drop ins in the morning, at lunch, and in the evening. Boarding/Overnight stays will be assessed based on location! If your pet stays at my house, I have a single floor, very welcoming home. I live in a quiet neighborhood where I am able to take your pets for walks (if requested) safely. In terms of bathroom breaks, I take dogs out on their leashes to use the bathroom in my yard. While staying in a clients' home, I will follow all rules and expectations as discussed.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats most of my life. I am comfortable with both small and large dogs as well as animals that have dietary restrictions, allergies, or need medication’s. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate special needs or requests, and last minute bookings. I maintain a crate in my SUV and can take your pets to appointments and run errands with them as well. I work from home therefore I can deliver many hours of one on one care for your pet, lots of walks, and lots of playtime

Lynn G.
“Lynn is a highly responsible, hard-working, and fun-loving pet caregiver. She has a knack with animals, and takes time to play with and care for each of my pets on their level. She is as constructive with meeting the needs of my high-energy springer spaniel as she is with lovingly reassuring his nine-year-old brother who is shy and slower to warm up to people. She is also great with my cat as well! She has been very willing to accommodate my pets' needs (including providing medications, post-surgical restrictions, favorite treats/toys, walks/runs, special snacks, etc.). I trust her implicitly and know that she genuinely cares about the animals placed in her charge. I have appreciated her consistent communication via texts and photo updates; she seems to understand the stress I feel when leaving my pets, and goes out of her way to make me feel comfortable via daily check-ins. I would highly recommend Lynn to anyone seeking pet assistance- you can rest assured that your pet will be in good hands under her care.”
Sneha V.
“She took great care of my pup, and she sent me a photo to give me an update. She took me on short notice and im thankful! I would definitely recommend!”
Samantha P.
“Samantha is an extremely reliable and friendly sitter. My husband and I have known her for years and always contact her to watch our lab, Cocoa. She goes above and beyond in care for Cocoa. I recommend anyone to book services with Samantha to watch your pets.”
Cathy M.
“Cathy will provide exceptional care to your pets. She is detail oriented and will take care of your pet as instructed. As a pet owner myself, I know that it can be stressful to leave and worry about your furry family at home. With Cathy, you will know your pets are well taken care of and cuddled during your time away. She is communicative and reliable. I would highly recommend booking Cathy to care for your furry family.”

Emma was so great with Zero, and he had a blast every time! She acclimated our short notice when we went into town for activities and didn't want our pup home alone. She has two great pups that got along great with Zero, and took him on walks and loved on him! Highly recommend!
Hannah was fantastic! Easy to schedule and communicate with. We felt safe and comfortable having our babypup in her care. He seemed tired enough like he had a good time but no so exerted like he was stressed all day. We look forward to utilizing her services again!
