“Karen did a wonderful job walking our dogs. We have one very high energy dog that can be difficult to walk until he releases energy and she handled him with such ease! Both of my dogs came back from each walk completely exhausted, it was perfect and exactly what we wanted! Karen was so lovely and we look forward to having her walk our dogs again!”
“Shera was absolutely fantastic! She communicated with us, sent us photos and updates each day, which really put our minds at ease. Our dog Oliver was well taken care of. We highly recommend Shera and would definitely book her again!”
“Cassie is awesome! My dog loves her, and she clearly enjoys being around animals. She is great at communicating and updating us. We will definitely be using her for a long time!”
“Jada is FANTASTIC! I'm working night shifts as a medical student on an away rotation and was so nervous about leaving my dog overnight alone. Jada offered to come do a meet and greet the day before. She arrived promptly and my dog loved her. She came for an hour every night to walk him and hang out with him. One night I forgot to feed him and she gave him his dinner. She took lots of pictures and videos which I LOVE. Can't say enough wonderful things about her!”
“Katie was awesome! She came over to meet my dog beforehand and he had three walks with her. I loved her detailed “report card” and getting cute photos of my dog. I feel super comfortable with her taking care of my dog and will be asking for her help again in the near future.”

Whether your pet has typical or special needs, I am here for you. I have 3 cats and 1 dog and have had a variety of animals throughout my life.

About: I love all animals. I lost my bull mastif/lab mix, Honey Bear, in February 2018. She was 12 1/2 yo. As well as my tabby, Eli, who was 19y/o, in March 2020. I am not ready for a new pupor kitten, so I thought this would provide an avenue to express my love for animals as well as help others. One of my favorites is dog walking. Because I work from home I am able to invest more outdoor activities for your furbabies. I do not have a fenced yard, however I am close to areas that can accomodate.

“Serena was absolutely wonderful. She was excellent with my dogs, followed instructions, and was very communicative. I’m grateful for her help and will absolutely rebook her in the future.”
About: Hi! My name is Katie. I am an emergency veterinary technician and have worked in animal welfare for the past ten years. I started working with animals in a boarding and day care facility, where I facilitated group and individual play times, and sent daily photographs and updates to pet owners. From there, I went on to work at my local humane society as a veterinary technician for two years, where I gained extensive experience working with cats and dogs with special medical and behavioral needs. For the past six years, I have been a veterinary technician at local speciality and emergency clinics, where I am constantly learning new things and using my experience to give my patients the best care possible. I am very comfortable interpreting animal behavior and assessing immediate medical concerns, and will take the time to be patient and understanding with your animals. I am comfortable administering medication, expressing bladders, preparing special diets, trimming nails, and so on. I am also trained and experienced in animal CPR. I will happily send frequent updates and photographs, whether it is just for a walk or an overnight stay, and will always be mindful to respect your pet's boundaries and make them as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I am currently only working part time on the weekends during the day, so I have open availability during the weekdays/nights to discuss further, and can work with availability outside of my working hours Sat-Sun if needed. While I don’t offer dog sitting in my own home, I do everything I can to provide calm, compassionate care in your home environment. I make it a point to follow your routines closely to reduce stress and keep your cat or dog feeling safe and secure. I always approach animals gently and with patience, especially those who are shy or have medical needs.

About: Hi friends! First let me say, thank you for considering me as a potential caretaker for your fur babies. I take my job very seriously with heart and compassion.

About: I’ve had dogs most of life since I was 10 but sadly am without a dog right now so looking to help others with their dogs. Have had small dogs (Boston terrier and French Bulldog) to big dogs (German Shepherd). I am currently a student and only have to be in class less than 3 hours a day so am able to help out other dog owners. I live in apartment that has a small dog park so I am able to take dogs on leashed and unleashed adventures depending on the request.
About: This girl. I'm that person at your party that spends the whole night playing with your dog instead of socializing. And while it doesn't win me friends, it makes me a great dog sitter for your pup. I've got two little guys of my own, Chachi and Mac. I love rescues (and really all dogs tbh) and both my husband and I work from home so we spend a lot of time together. I believe that as much as dogs need food, water, and bathroom breaks, they need attention and love, as well. So, that means I'll be making sure your pets meet their maslow's hierarchy of dog needs. And if those needs include a lot of pets, playing, and occasional treats--I'm your man. I work from home and make my own hours so am available to work around your schedule. Please provide as much advance notice as possible and account for proximity when booking. While I have a fenced backyard, it isn't very large. I don't recommend large excitable dogs that need a lot of outdoor space to stay here. Additionally, as stated before, I have two small dogs. All dogs staying my house MUST BE FRIENDLY.
About: I am health science major and also an active duty medic in the Navy.I have a huge love for animals an I am an outdoor geek and I love to cook for fun. I also am CPR and first aid certified.

I’m great with dealing with all types of sizes animals and moods. I have personally trained my dog, so I can handle any furry friend. I shower, groom, and cut my doggy’s nail.

I am available Saturday and Sunday all day and various times on weekdays. I have spacious apartment and wrap around patio and a dog park available in my apartment complex. And have the space to crate your fur baby if necessary.
About: While in boarding, your pup will have his or her own room with a queen bed to lounge on, split time with my pups out in the main house, at least 4 potty breaks a day, and plenty of attention. I'm an experienced dog caretaker and can cater to dogs with dietary, behavioral, or medical needs. Up to 3 dogs from the same household can share the room for overnight boarding. There is also room for crates if you would prefer your dog be crated for any portion of their stay. Our household is a quiet and low stress place for your pup to hang out where you'll know they are safe and well taken care of. For daily visits, I bring a calming energy and attention to detail to ensure your pet will be as comfortable as possible while you're away. Time can be spent sitting quietly, going for a stroll, or engaging in play with their favorite toys. Whatever they need to be happy and comfortable while their pet parents are away. My wife and I work opposite schedules so there is always someone home. We've got plenty of time to spend with your pups and they will rarely be alone. We have a 1/4 acre yard that is securely fenced. In the house, boarders are kept seperated from my resident dogs with closed doors and a baby gate to prevent any mishaps.

About: Senior care, kittens/puppies, special needs. I have had animals all my life and connect with them on a different level. I often hear people say that their dog or cat doesn’t like people when they like me. I’m flattered and appreciative of their trust. I understand what that takes & I return it with love. I am a corporate professional, currently going back to school, pursuing my dream of getting a degree in Interior Design. My classes are virtual which gives me a lot if flexibility. I spend my time with my 2 cats and dog while studying. I care for my fur babies like they are my children, because they literally are my kids. I have had several special needs pets, and know how to handle challenging situations. I love to meet new people and their pets. I often find myself stopping to say hello to a random stranger, bonding over their fur baby. It’s the constant connection in my life.

9. Holly B.
“5 Stars – Holly is the Best! Holly is a total cat whisperer! She took care of my fur babies, Tomi and Jovie, like they were her own—and honestly, I think they might be a little obsessed with her now. As a family friend, I already knew she was dependable, but seeing her in full pet-sitter mode was next level. She has such a genuine love for animals and a true gift for caring for them. She even mentioned how much she enjoys working with dogs and birds too—so basically, if it has fur, feathers, or whiskers, Holly’s your girl! She kept me in the loop with adorable updates and photos, which made me smile (and slightly jealous of all the snuggles she was getting). I could relax knowing Tomi and Jovie were in the best hands. If your pets deserve the VIP treatment, Holly’s the one to call!”

She is a compassionate person providing animals with constant attention, and loads of affection. Being adaptable she knows exactly how to take on the responsibility of various animals, making sure they are nurtured, kept out of trouble, and well behaved. When around animals she is filled with an immense amount of joyful energy, which undoubtedly can be felt by all the animals she comes in contact with. Between her and her dog, Anakin, there is a well established family bond, and I firmly believe that she would form a family like bond with any animal placed in her care.”

“Pumpkin and Ravin always have so much fun when they stay with Brent and David!

Much love for Brent and David!”
