“We left our young puppy with Ashley for the first time and wasn't sure if she was going to want to come home or not. Ashley and her daughter spoiled her rotten and made leaving our baby for the first time a less stressful event.”

“Kiki can be an ornery cat; known to hide when uncomfortable and likes to hunt… well, Savannah and Dakotah made Kiki so comfortable, she refused to come home! Thank you for the pictures and she loves her Christmas gifts jingling all over the house … highly recommended pet sitter!”

“This is our first time using Jenny for boarding. She answered all our questions and even sent a photo of the space our dogs would play in before we booked. Jenny was quick to reply, shared photos of our dogs during their entire visit, and was very kind to our entire family. Her vet experience is a plus. Our dogs were all happy wags upon pickup and we will definitely book her for future requests.”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take pride in providing patient, loving, and reliable care. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, refreshing water, and following specific care instructions such as schedules or basic medications if needed. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get regular walks or playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m attentive and present, and I enjoy building pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I have a fenced in backyard where we can run around and play together. I can give medications, give baths, do any special accommodations, etc.

About: I’m a teacher, lifelong dog lover, and proud dog mom to two pups of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is simple: make your dog feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you total peace of mind. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, couch cuddles, or just a calm companion, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. I’m dependable, patient, detail-oriented, and committed to treating every pet like family. Plus, expect plenty of photo updates because I know how much we all miss our dogs when we’re away! I am a teacher so I am off for the summer. So I have lots of time to care for pets! Whether that is drop-in visits or going on walks. Available on weekdays and weekends. Please request to schedule in advance due to trips or dates J may not be available! Our house is a home to dogs only, as my husband and I are both unfortunately allergic to cats. Our dogs get yearly vaccinations and are free from fleas and heart worms, and they LOVE guests as they are very friendly and well-trained. I am available to have overnight sitting if your pet is comfortable with other dogs.
“Gabrielle did such a great job taking care of our dogs!! Excellent communication from beginning to end. We received a lot of pictures, videos and updates and our boys were very well taken of thanks to Gabrielle! We will definitely be using Gabrielle again and again.”

About: I have raised and taken care of pups and doggy's since I was 5. We recently lost our family dog of 15 years and have plenty of love and affection to give to any pets who need it 🥰 I have full availability and i love all animals sooo much. i have a 4 year old little girl who adores cats and dogs as well! My yard is not fenced in unfortunately, but I can gladly take your fur baby for as many walks and runs as needed!!! Just let me know.
“Keirra was amazing. She was quick to respond to my messages and sent me lots of pictures. My dog absolutely loved her and was very sad to leave Keirra. That showed me just how wonderful Keirra treated my dog. I would recommend her any day to anyone and will certainly use her again soon.”
