Mac had a wonderful day with Robert and his pups. He had never been to a dog sitter before so we were a bit anxious about leaving him. We had a meet and greet before the day visit and when Mac got to Bob’s house on the day of the visit, Mac remembered that it was a place with people that he liked. Bob’s updates through the day made us rest easy that Mac was being well cared for. We loved the report card and pictures that we got at the end of the visit. We look forward to our next booking with Bob.

Julie was great. Offered a quick meetup to get Betsy Lou acquainted which was perfect. The next day, Betsy Lou went right up to her tail wagging. I was very comfortable leaving her with Julie. Everything in was smooth and easy, and most of all my dog loved Julie and her family!

My dog had a great time at Shelby’s house and big back yard. Shelby was very communicative and posted lots of pictures during the stay. When I’m back in the area I will definitely book again!

Kristen and Bobby were great! They were quick to respond and when I left my dog with them I immedietly felt like he was in good hands. You can tell they are dog lovers! They sent updates throughout the day and were patient and understanding of my dog as he got used to being at a new spot.

Chelsea watched our 4 month old puppy for the day and did a fantastic job. Our dog was comfortable being left with Chelsea and she sent us photos throughout the day to keep us updated on how things were going. We will definitely be reaching out to Chelsea again in the future to watch our pup!

About: Dogs, and Cats aren’t just pets in my home—they’re family! My twin brother and I have had dogs our whole lives, and we’re absolutely obsessed with them. In our house, your pup will be surrounded by love, care, and constant attention. Since most of my classes are online, my brother works night shifts, and my husband works during the day, there’s always someone home to make sure your furry friend is safe, happy, and cared for 24/7. I feel so lucky to have their support because, let’s be real—life loves to throw surprises our way! But no matter what, your pup will always be in good hands. And if you ask my family, they’d say they’re totally jealous because I get to spend the most time with the doggies! 🐾💖 From fun walks to cozy snuggles, I make sure every dog feels right at home while their humans are away. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and give them all the love they deserve! Having transitioned from a career in law to pursuing my passion in nursing school, I now have a flexible schedule with most of my classes being remote. This allows me ample time to dedicate to your pups, ensuring they receive plenty of play and care. I’m available for dog boarding on both weekends and weekdays, providing a reliable and loving environment for your furry friends while you’re away. Ensuring the safety and well-being of your pet is my top priority. Whether in your home or mine, I provide a secure and nurturing environment tailored to your pet’s needs: Safety First: I make sure that your home is pet-proofed, eliminating any hazards. For outdoor activities, I use secure leashes and ensure that gates and fences are properly closed. Personalized Care: I follow your specific instructions for diet, exercise, and routines to ensure a consistent and comfortable experience. Regular updates are provided, and I am always available to address any concerns. Trustworthy Environment: At my home, your pet will be welcomed into a warm and loving space. My sweet and playful Bernedoodle, Sophie, is friendly and makes a great companion. If your dog prefers not to be around other dogs, we have the flexibility to have Sophie accompany my husband to work, ensuring your pet has a quiet and undisturbed environment. Emergency Preparedness: I am trained in basic pet first aid and have a plan in place for any unexpected situations, prioritizing your pet's health and safe. With my experience and dedication, along with Sophie’s friendly nature, you can trust that your pet will receive the highest level of care and affection while you’re away.

About: Have raised two labs, so can handle all age spans. Recently have done senior care for my own dog, who passed at the age of 16.5. I am passionate and have a basic understanding in animal nutrition. I believe that the love and care your pour into in animal is what you get back in return. Im currently a stay at home mom to three loving girls, 10, 12, 14. I deeply love animals and have felt the emptiness of losing our lab in September. I would love an opportunity to love on your pet! I have a small unfenced yard currently, but live on a quiet street with an Amazing park at the end of the street, that is shaded and has many trees for sniffing. I am planning on being around most of the summer and can accommodate, walking, sleeping and cuddling needs. I currently have no pets in myhouse, so your pet will get the utmost attention. I will not only love, but can provide very focused and physical care. I can be as athletic as the pet needs t to be or as chill as the pet demands. I just want to make your pet feel loved and comfortable. If its just a walking service needed i can do that to, I am a runner and love being outdoors so can run or walk your pet wherever they might want to go.

About: I’m a licensed veterinarian in Brazil and I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. My father is a huge dog lover, so I grew up helping care for our family pets from a very young age. In Brazil, I had four dogs who are now happily living with my parents. Here in the U.S., I have my sweet mini Goldendoodle, Madalena, who is very friendly and loves having company. Because of my background in Veterinary Medicine and my lifelong experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, I feel very confident providing safe, responsible, and attentive care. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work at a coffee shop from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. After 3:30 p.m., I’m fully available for pet care, including walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. On Sundays and Mondays, I’m off from work and available all day for boarding, daycare, and other services. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I offer a calm, clean, and cozy home environment where pets can relax, play, and feel secure. My mini Goldendoodle, Madalena, is very friendly and gentle, which helps visiting dogs feel more comfortable and welcomed. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, I always follow their routine exactly as instructed—feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior to make sure each dog feels safe, respected, and stress-free. I provide constant supervision when I’m home, lots of love and positive interaction, and a peaceful space where dogs can settle in comfortably. My goal is to make every pet feel like part of the family.

About: I am a lover of all animals. I have experience with many different kinds of animals including horses, puppies, older dogs, and cats. I have taken care of/walked my friends, family’s, and neighborhood dogs on and off for 15+ years. I am looking to expand my business and make some extra money doing what I love most!

I live right near a park perfect for playing catch, meeting new furry friends, and having fun filled walks! I am currently a stay at home mom to a 1 year old so I can be flexible with my schedule I also have a 8 month old puppy that needs lots of exercise so he will most likely be on walks with us (if your dog is okay with other animals) I have a 8 month old puppy to keep your pet company!
