About: Dog loving family with many years of experience owning dogs. We have one fur baby, 5 year old beagle mix named Chip. Chip is 26lb bundle of love and playfulness and gets along well with large or small breeds. We have a large fenced yard and I am home full time. I can offer daycare and overnight boarding. I will care for your fur baby as I expect mine to be, like a member of our family. I prefer dogs that are crate trained in case I need to run errands and prefer not to let them run free inside with no one home. We get lots of exercise and cuddle time. Tell me what will make your pup happy and I will do my best to accommodate. I look forward to meeting you soon! I work from home so my time away from your pup will be minimal. We take lots of outside breaks, but, we keep them inside to relax and stay comfortable during harsh weather. I have a large fenced yard and two dogs that play gently with other dogs. I watch them at all times even when outside. They are never left unattended except for short errands and they will be crated during my absence. I have lots of experience with senior dogs and can accommodate their special needs including injected meds. Mini photo shoot is also included with your pet’s stay! I am a stay at home mom so I am almost always at home. We get up early and serve breakfast, have potty and play time, or your pup can relax if that is what they prefer. I have a spacious fenced in back yard for running and playing and my home is pet friendly. Your baby will feel right at home and will be loved and cared for just like my own.

About: I have had pets my entire life whether I had a cat or a dog I always had one. My dad owns a dog breeding business that for a short period my husband and I helped at before moving. So we are very familiar with dogs and pet care. I am a stay at home mom who has a part time at home job. My husband also works part of the time at home. I am home most of the day and if I leave I usually only ever leave for an hour or two at a time. I have a fenced in yard for your pup to roam outside safely. We walk out pup twice a day. He is a old small shih tzu dog that can offer your pup company but would also likely leave your pup be because he sleeps all day. My kids love playing with pups and playing fetch and giving great pets.

About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner for my entire life, and caring for these incredible beings is more than just a job—it's my passion. Friends and family trust me wholeheartedly to love and nurture their furry loved ones when they’re away, and I pour my heart into every moment. Whether tending to lively puppies full of energy or comforting wise, elderly pets, my goal is simple: to keep those tails wagging with happiness and ensure each pet feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I get to spend plenty of time with pets each day. I usually don’t have to leave them alone for long periods, which is great! I’ve got a fenced-in yard and three super friendly dogs who just love meeting other pups! We enjoy taking neighborhood walks, playing fetch, and having fun tug-of-war matches right in the backyard.
“Youjin took good care of our puppy! She sent text, photos and videos through out the day; she even practiced and reviewed some commands with our pup. Will definitely return!”

“I highly recommend Michael for pet sitting/daycare! He did a tremendous job taking care of our dog and showing him the best time! He got along great with his dog and I received regular video and photo updates. Thank you so much Michael!”

“Damon and Danyale were amazing when I needed a last minute day sitter when our original sitter was not available. I’ve been needed to find a back up one close to home and definitely will be using again when needed. Damon sent many photos throughout the 2 days he was there. Highly recommend.”

About: Hi! I’m Daisy, a dependable and caring animal lover with years of experience providing attentive, responsible care. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog or cat with the same love, patience, and safety I’d want for my own. With a strong background in leadership, customer service, and trust-based relationships, I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, companionship, medication reminders, or overnight care, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m especially great with: • Daily walks & exercise • Feeding routines & medication schedules • Senior pets needing patience and extra care • Puppies who need consistency and positive attention • Regular updates, photos, and communication for peace of mind Your pet’s happiness and safety always come first. My schedule is structured around morning and evening care blocks with limited weekly availability. I offer consistent drop-ins, walks, and transportation during set time windows to ensure reliable, focused care for each pet. Advance booking is recommended for recurring services. My approach to pet care is centered on safety, consistency, and creating a calm, comfortable environment for each pet. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely to maintain the pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication, and any behavioral or household guidelines. I respect the home as if it were my own—keeping spaces clean, secure, and undisturbed. During visits or walks, pets are always supervised and handled with care based on their personality, energy level, and comfort. Leashes, harnesses, and doors are checked carefully to ensure safety at all times, and pets are never left in unsafe situations or environments. For transportation services, pets are secured appropriately for travel and monitored throughout the trip to ensure a safe and low-stress experience. If caring for pets in my home (boarding), I provide a calm, structured environment with a focus on routine, comfort, and minimal stress. Pets are given supervised time, rest periods, and individualized attention based on their needs. Safety is always the priority, including controlled introductions if multiple pets are present. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so pet parents feel informed and reassured while they are away. My goal is to create a trustworthy, consistent experience where pets feel safe and cared for, and owners feel confident and at ease.

About: I genuinely care about the pets I look after. I don’t just “watch” animals — I build a bond with them. Every pet has their own personality, routines, and little quirks, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away. I have experience caring for playful puppies who need patience and consistency, as well as senior dogs who need a little extra tenderness, slower walks, or help with medications. I’m especially good with pets that are shy, anxious, or adjusting to new environments — I move at their pace and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I’m very detail-oriented with feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and special instructions, and I always keep pet parents in the loop with updates and photos. You’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing — you’ll know they’re being cared for with love and attention. Your pet will be treated like part of my family, not just another booking. 🐾 Pet care fits beautifully into my daily routine because I’m a stay-at-home wife and attend school online, which gives me plenty of flexibility and free time. I’m home most of the day, so the pets I care for get constant attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love — not just quick check-ins. I’m able to build my schedule around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning routines, midday walks, medication times, or evening cuddle sessions. Because I’m not rushing off to an office or away for long hours, your pet gets the consistency and supervision they deserve. In my home, pets are never an afterthought — they’re part of my day. And yes, they usually become part of my heart too. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first in my care. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I follow your routines and instructions closely so your pet feels relaxed, secure, and right at home. At the moment, I don’t have any pets or children, which means your pet gets my full attention in a calm, quiet environment. My home is very spacious — it’s essentially an entire home just for the pets I’m caring for. There’s plenty of room to move around, relax, and play without feeling crowded or overwhelmed. I keep everything clean, pet-safe, and free of hazards, and I’m very careful with doors, leashes, feeding, and supervision. When walking dogs, I use secure leashes and stay alert to keep them safe at all times. In your home, I treat your space with respect and stick closely to your pet’s normal routine so they stay comfortable and happy. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: for you to feel completely at ease, and for your pet to feel loved, safe, and right at home.
“Toria and her family were SO good to our Dax, he didn’t want to leave his buddies. When we got home home he crashed from the fun filled weekend. I will definitely use Toria again in the future. Dax said to tell Pumba ‘HI!’ ?”

“I am more than pleased with Namita’s daycare services. She treated my Dusty boy as if he was her own. Her whole family was giving him lots of attention and affection and she gave me frequent updates and pics. I’m looking forward to continuing with her services. I would absolutely recommend Namita to anyone seeking daycare 😊”

About: I have been around dogs since I was 10, and for the past two years, I’ve raised a high-energy Husky. This has taught me the importance of structure, long walks, and patience. My Husky is incredibly friendly and loves the company of dogs big or small, making my home a great place for socialization. Whether your dog needs a vigorous run or a buddy to play with, I’m ready to provide a safe, fun, and active environment My daily life is already very dog-centric. Since I have a two-year-old Husky, we have a firm routine of morning exercise, backyard play sessions, and evening walks. Because I have a large, securely fenced backyard, I can offer guest dogs frequent 'zoomie' breaks and outdoor play throughout the day. Your pet will be seamlessly integrated into our active schedule, ensuring they never feel bored or restless I offer a secure and welcoming environment where your pet is treated like a member of the family. My home is set up specifically for the comfort of dogs, with plenty of room to lounge and play. Because I have a large, fully fenced backyard, I can provide a safe space for outdoor fun under my constant supervision. Having raised an active Husky, I’m very mindful of safety and keep all household items securely stored so your pup can explore their 'home away from home' worry-free.
