“Austin was great. This was my first time ever boarding my four-year-old American bully. She does have some anxiety and stress issues. He was Fantastic with her from the start and made it easy for me to start the booking right from the beginning I would definitely recommend him. He kept me updated throughout her stay, which was a full three days and answered any concerns and questions I had along the way. I will definitely book again with Austin.”
“Fantastic dog sitter! She is compassionate and takes fantastic care of your pet. My dog was happy and comfortable the entire time she was away and the level of care is even better than a professional facility. She even sends daily pictures and videos and that is great when missing your pup. Next time I need to leave my dog I will definitely be sending her back over Nathalias!!”
“Rebekah was so wonderful, her and her daughters instantly welcomed my kitty the moment she arrived. She was so accommodating, and always sending plenty of updates with adorable pictures during her stay. I would absolutely send Pyper to her again and recommend her to anyone looking.”
“Kathy was amazing with my dog Penny!!! Penny is a 1yr old Jack russell mix and has lots of energy, but Kathy played with her, went for walks and gave Penny lots of snuggles! Kathy was professional, caring, responsible and made me feel 100% comfortable leaving my dog with her. She sent pictures throughout the boarding process along with updates of how Penny was doing. I can’t wait to rebook with her & highly recommend her! 🐶😊”
“Taylor was great. She was very flexible with us, responded quickly, and was so helpful! She was great at drop off and made us feel very comfortable, and continued that throughout the stay with lots of pictures and messages!”
“This was my first time using a dog sitter and I'm so very happy with finding Savanna. I've boarded twice in the past and it's not a good fit for my dog who isn't social with large groups of dogs and prefers sleeping and resting inside or sunbathing outside in the warmth. Savanna provided daily updates, photos and videos, so I could relax knowing my dog wasn't stressed out or hiding in a corner. She found out first hand my dog is a bed hog and is obsessed with peanut butter toast AND still loved Dublin and took care of her. All of Dublins needs- medicine and feeding and care, was taken care of. We really lucked out finding Savanna, who had a fenced yard and no children and was an easy drive. I will use her in the future if I ever need to go away!”
“Taylor was great! She provided updates each day Clover was there and Clover warmed up to her quickly! Taylor is so kind and reliable. I'm looking forward to bringing Clover back and, hopefully, my pup, Flora!”
About: I’ve been working in the veterinary field for 5 years. All my life I had a soft spot for animals. Big or small. I would be the perfect person to babysit ( yes I said baby sit because they are our fur babies ) your pet because your pet would have my FULL attention. I will treat your pet as if he or she was my own. Animals hold a special place in my heart. Every time I see one it’s like love at 1st sight. “When I look into the eyes of an animal, I do not see an animal, I see a living being, I see a friend, I feel a soul” I do work at a vet hospital, I will try to rearrange my schedule the best I can ! And when I’m not working I will be with your pet ! I will care for your pet as if he/she is my own. From experience I know pets get flustered when routines are messed up just like we do ! I will follow any routine you have so they don’t miss a beat.
“I’m pleased to have left my dogs in Kevin’s care. At first I was nervous because my dogs are anxious whenever I leave. Despite that, Kevin was super caring and helpful during my time away from them. He sent me updates about my dogs including lots of pictures of them that helped put me at ease.”
“Renee was so patient with our toy poodle. Our pet easily warmed up to her. She was prompt in her responses to texts and accommodated all requests. We will be repeat visitors and recommend Renee as a pet sitter to anyone.”
About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician with clinical experience caring for dogs of all ages and medical needs. I can provide everything from wellness care, to post-surgical recovery, medication administration (oral, topical, and injectable), and specialized support for pets with chronic conditions. I also provide hospice and comfort care, supporting pets and families through their final stages with compassion. I bring the same level of professional knowledge and heartfelt care into the home.

I am available during the weekdays between 9am and 3pm. However, I can be flexible if needed. If you need care outside of these hours, please message me and we can try to work something out.

I follow routines carefully, administer medications when needed, and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure.
About: Dogs and cats are better company than humans most days! I would love to hang out with your animals and keep them company. I’m a college student who misses her animals at home so I’ll be happy to spend as much time with your animals as you need. I have two dogs and two cats at home, and have always had animals in my home. I’m pretty comfortable with cleaning up after potty training accidents. My aunt had four Great Danes so I have experience around big dogs. No dog is too big or small for me! My last dog lived to 18 so I have experience with old pups, and puppies also. My schedule is open. During the fall and winter, I will have less time. Weekdays, during the morning and afternoon are open! As the fall and winter progress, I will update my schedule since I will be going back to school. My partner and I are currently renovating our home so our house is not open for care. I would be more comfortable with walking your furbaby, or caring for them at your home once we have met!

“Victoria was great with our dog Rosie. It was the first time we had ever left her with anyone. Victoria kept us posted with texts and pictures of how Rosie was doing which helped us feel comfortable being away. Rosie did great and loved playing with Victoria’s dog. We are using her again for our next vacation.”
“We are so grateful Michelle was available to care for our extremely large puppy Willow. It gave us peace of mind to enjoy an unexpected overnight away. Willow played a lot, Michelle sent pictures and updates, and communication was great!”
“Melissa took great care of our dog while we were away for a wedding! Easy to communicate with, sent regular pictures and updates, and our pup came home nice and tired from all the fun!”

Rosie just stayed with Victoria for the third time. She always had a great time there. She gets plenty of attention and we get updates with pictures so we can be at ease as we enjoy our vacation. I would highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
Taylor and Ryan were wonderful. My Dogs were very happy and healthy when we picked them up. Taylor kept me well informed when were away as to how they were doing. The yard is perfect for dogs and I had now worries of them getting free. Taylor and Ryan made our vacation worry free. Sherrie
I recommend Michelle and Colin very highly. They were attentive and caring beyond my expectations. Michelle is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and has had years of experience working with them. My dog has many special needs and they attended to them all with great care and love. Many thanks Michelle and Colin.
