About: Hi! I’m Marianna, a lifelong animal lover offering drop-in visits, boarding, and overnight stays for both dogs and cats. Animals are truly part of my family. I share my home with my amazing Golden Lab, Phoebe, who is incredibly well-behaved, gentle, and adventurous — she goes paddle boarding, loves the water, and is even a diver! Phoebe is a Theraphy dog . She is a calm, confident, and friendly role model for other dogs. We also have two wonderful cats: Pharaoh (Abyssinian) and Phoenix (Scottish Fold). They are very social, affectionate, and used to being around dogs, so our home is a peaceful, happy, and interactive environment for all pets. I’m certified in Pet First Aid & CPR for both cats and dogs, so your pet’s safety is always a top priority. In addition to loving care, I also offer support with behavioral training and confidence building. I’ve personally trained my own 2.5-year-old pup to a very high level of obedience, and I enjoy helping other dogs feel calm, safe, and well-mannered. Our home features a fenced yard, a swimming pool (with supervision), and plenty of space to play, rest, and relax in a loving, low-stress environment. Whether your pet loves to cuddle, play, swim, or simply nap in the sun, they will feel right at home here. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and respect. I would be honored to care for your furry family while you’re away 🐶🐱💛 Ps . For safety, any signs of prey drive toward cats (staring, lunging, chasing) will result in immediate separation or early pick-up. That’s why Meet and Greet is a MUST for me. I keep a flexible schedule so your pet receives calm, unhurried attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and drop-ins on both weekdays and weekends, and I intentionally limit how many pets I take (1-2 great pets at a time ONLY) to ensure each one feels safe, relaxed, and truly cared for. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment in my home with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. Dogs are always monitored, kept on routine, and can be crated if needed. I follow owner instructions closely, prioritize cleanliness, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and cared for like family.

About: I am happy to provide a cozy and fun spot for your pup to hang out. My Pit mix and I spend a lot of our time in the garden, pool cage, or acre yard. My Pitty is very friendly, she has been purposefully and extensively socialized so that we can do this work together. The atmosphere here is serene and I’d love to share that with more pups in my neighborhood! Currently I work part-time from home and I’m hoping to supplement some lost income with something I enjoy. That will benefit my pup and my neighbors pups! Since I work from home I can offer my services any day of the week for boarding or sitting. I cannot help but empathize with animals. I love making dogs happy, they are such pure souls. While I make a point to set appropriate boundaries and keep an eye on everybody, I believe in leading with kindness. If you choose to have me stay at your home I am happy to do some cleaning or light chores for you while I am there.

Sarah was so good with Alina! Took her out for several walks and played with her. So nice to have someone who also was a vet tech as well just in case

About: I’ve taken care of and had dogs my whole life. I’m the first person my friends and family go to when they need dog care. I’ve been a sitter for many people for many years. Animals have been my passion for many years. I work in the evenings so I have the free time to look after your precious pups. I am willing to travel as far as you need to make sure you have no worries while you’re gone. I live on 5 acres of fenced in yard to have plenty of space for your fur babies. I also have two sweet pups if your puppy wants friends. I have the ability to crate your babies if you prefer that aswell.

Our 12 and 19 year old boys never even noticed we were gone! Eni stayed with them in our home while we were away. She was in touch with us about walk, poop, meal and medications in addition to the pictures she sent. We recommend Eni and hope to use her service again.

Jacqueline stayed overnight with my two cats. From our first contact she was so prompt answering messages. I’ve had other sitters and she is one of the few who actually showed up on time and was there when she said she would be. I returned to find my house in tiptop shape. I highly recommend her. She’s a real sweetheart!

We had a wonderful experience with John and couldn’t be more grateful for the care he provided. Leaving my senior pup can be stressful, but John made the entire experience feel easy and reassuring from start to finish. I also really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and thoughtful communication, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I will absolutely be booking John again!

Words cannot explain how grateful I am for finding Sumintra. I had never used this app before but she made it exceed my expectations. She was very caring with my babies, she was always communicating everything to me and sending pictures and videos. It made me feel so peaceful and calm. I recommend Sumintra 100%. Eternally grateful.

Katie was absolutely incredible and I truly cannot recommend her enough!! From the very start, I could tell Luigi felt comfortable with her which says EVERYTHING!! The moment she got out of her car to greet us, he immediately took to her and that is not something he does with everyone. She provided so many updates and pictures which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I never once had to wonder how he was doing. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was her honesty. Instead of just saying everything was perfect (which other sitters have said while I knew he wasn’t perfectly fine), she shared that Luigi definitely missed us. I appreciated that more than anything because it showed how in tune she was with him. Even better, she didn’t just leave it at that. She actively worked to engage him and get him moving which is so important for a dog’s mental well being. She took him on walks, paid close attention to his needs, and truly treated him like her own. You can tell Katie genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. Luigi and I are both so grateful to have found her!!!

Allison was able to extend her care for my dog when my return flight was delayed. She came in clutch in an emergency. She is conscientious, caring and kind. She adjusted to the routine my elderly dog was used to so things stayed consistent for him. It helped out a lot and he was clearly happy and well cared for.

About: I've taken care of cats, dogs, and exotics for many years. Well versed in pet care for any breed and kind of animal. Big fan and friend of all pets alike. I am currently an online college student, so I have plenty of time to play and care for your furry family members, with extra love! I have a very friendly but shy chihuahua who would be separated from your furry friend in my home. I can uphold any rules you may follow in your own home for your pets as need be.

Lily watched our pets while we went out of town for our wedding! She sent many photos and videos of our babies which made me feel happy to know they were okay and in good hands. She left the house very clean and even left a small wedding present for us which was very sweet and thoughtful of her! Lily is easy to get in touch with and very flexible. I would recommend her for sure!

About: I’ve taken care of my dog of 6 years since we got him as a puppy. I trained him to potty, do tricks, and play. I walk him 2-3 times a day and take him to the dog park, dog beach, and other dog social settings. I’ve also taken care of other dogs for multiple days. I work part-time during the weekends so my availability is during the weekdays! I am also a full time college student studying Biomedical Sciences but I’m fully online during the summer. I’m very playful with pets but I always make sure to put their safety first. I also always follow special instructions for each unique pet!

About: I walk dogs, cat sit, and house sit around my neighborhood and it’s my favorite part of my week. I once fostered a momma dog and helped her birth her babies and nurse them to health! I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else! I currently work part time as a dance teacher but when I am not teaching I am either dog sitting or house sitting, if there is a family in need of a sitter I can make it work! I easily can follow direction on security of the home and the dogs. The animals are my number one priority and focus when I’m on the job.

Gerald seems to excel at whatever does, this we learned after getting to know him. We took a short vacation, leaving our dog Babette in his care. He kept us fully informed with emails and photos. We returned home to find a happy and well cared-for dog. Thank you Gerald!

About: I have experience caring for puppies, sick/elderly dogs, and everything in between! My passion and love for dogs is undeniable and never wavers. Dogs have always been my life and I recently lost my dog, so I’m looking to love on other people’s fur babies for the time being. I currently work a full time job Monday-Friday, but my weekends are completely free. I am available all weekend long, week nights and very early mornings on week days. I am somewhat flexible and will try my best to work with your schedule. I provide only the best and most loving care for your animals. I can crate animals, help train, take pets for long (or short) walks to keep them active, and adapt to any routine you may have!
