“Pam was great with my Golden and is kind and compassionate. She was patient with me when I needed to adjust dates and times and was very thorough in gaining an understanding of my dog's needs and schedule. I highly recommend Pam and will be using her again soon!”

“Laura was a great sitter for my 4lb poodle, Weston. From the start, she was attentive, kind, and clearly experienced. Weston can be a bit timid, but he felt comfortable with her right away — which gave me so much peace of mind. She kept in touch throughout his stay with thoughtful updates and sweet photos, and it was clear he was in caring hands the entire time. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found Laura and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.”

“Kailyn went out her way to buy Mylo some pee pads and she also made sure he ate and drank lots of water throughout the day. Kailyn and her family took such good care of Mylo, always kept an eye out for him. She has such a beautiful house, big backyard with lots of space for the pups to run around, including a couple doggie pools for the summer time. Mylo left Kailyn's house very happy, excited, and in good spirits, I can tell Mylo enjoyed his stay! She answered all my text messages and any questions I had right away. Seems like she has lots of experience with pups, she also works at a doggie daycare which is awesome. Mylo will most definitely stay again in the near future.”

“Mike and Kelly were outstanding! Just days before our scheduled boarding, our dog Duncan had to undergo emergency biopsies. Despite this, Mike and Kelly graciously took Duncan in, administered his medications, and ensured he was safe and happy. They kept us updated with photos and regular communication about Duncan’s health. I highly recommend their services—in fact, I already recommended them to a neighbor this afternoon! Thank you Mike and Kelly for taking care of our Duncan!”

About: Experienced Dog Owner & Sitter – Reliable, Active, and Caring Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I grew up with a terrier mix and a black lab, and as an adult, I've cared for a German Shorthaired Pointer and now my current companion, Reggie—a 1.5-year-old Basenji. Reggie is friendly, well-socialized, and loves being around other dogs. I’m especially experienced with puppies and enjoy the energy and patience they require. Reggie and I stick to a consistent daily routine that includes at least a mile of leash walking each day—usually split into multiple walks, with outings early in the morning (as early as 5–8 AM), mid-morning, an afternoon potty break, and a longer walk in the evening. Our home is dog-friendly, safe, and has a fenced-in yard perfect for supervised play. We welcome only one guest dog at a time to ensure plenty of individual attention and a calm environment. I house- and dog-sitting in as well as , I currently offer drop-in visits. At the heart of everything I do is a commitment to your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being. I’m 35, responsible, and passionate about dogs—I treat every pup like family. Flexible & Reliable Pet Care – Full-Time Availability I offer full-time availability for pet care and am happy to accommodate a variety of schedules. Morning walks are part of our daily routine—typically between 5 AM and 8 AM and ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 miles. In the afternoon, I provide a potty break, followed by an evening walk of 0.5 to 1 mile. This schedule works well for my own dog, Reggie, and any pup we’re hosting. I'm available for: Scheduled or short-notice dog walks Drop-in visits Daily or multiple-times-a-day walks Weekly routines or one-time services Short-notice check-ins (with a fair, convenience-based fee) Whether your dog needs regular walks, occasional visits, or last-minute help, I'm here to provide safe, loving, and dependable care. Safety-First, Thoughtful Pet Care in a Calm and Controlled Environment For every pet care job—whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or in-home hosting—I approach each responsibility with a safety-first mindset. I begin by assessing the environment, checking for any potential hazards, and observing the dog's temperament, energy level, and overall health to ensure they’re set up for a positive experience. I come fully prepared with all the essentials: leashes, treats, food (if needed), cozy beds and blankets, separate water bowls, poop bags, and anything else your pup might need to feel safe and comfortable. I believe dogs thrive in calm, predictable environments. As the walker or sitter, I take the lead in maintaining a peaceful, structured atmosphere where your dog can feel secure, enjoy their time, and have fun—all while staying under steady and attentive supervision.

“Christine watched my dog for the first time. I felt completely comfortable leaving him for 5 days. She kept me updated with pictures. I picked up a happy boy at the end! Will definitely be using her again.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep focus on building trust and creating a positive, comfortable environment for the pets I care for. I'm skilled in handling a wide range of pets, from playful puppies to more sensitive senior dogs, and I have experience with special needs animals as well. For puppies, I focus on positive reinforcement techniques to help with basic obedience and crate training, which helps set up a great foundation for their future. For senior dogs, I’m attentive to their health needs, like managing medication schedules, joint care, and providing extra comfort and gentleness when needed. Additionally, I always take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, routines, and preferences, so they feel as safe and loved as possible while you’re away. If you’re ever unsure about something, I’m always happy to provide regular updates or make adjustments to better suit your pet’s needs. My husband works full time as a state police officer. I am a homemaker and love taking care of animals for fun and as a career. In my home: I ensure that my space is pet-friendly! I also have a gated yard where animals can play without running off. In a client’s home: When I’m pet-sitting in a client’s home, I try to maintain as much of the pet’s routine as possible to minimize stress. I’m respectful of the home environment, ensuring I keep everything tidy, and I’ll follow any specific instructions left by the pet owner. I also make sure to spend plenty of time with the pet—whether it’s playing, going for walks, or just giving them attention and affection. If there are particular rules the pet is used to, like staying off furniture or only having access to certain rooms, I’m careful to maintain those boundaries. No matter where I’m caring for the pet, my goal is always to create a consistent, loving environment where they feel safe, happy, and cared for

“Nani took great care of our Max during our vacation. She asked many questions about his needs and was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. She communicated often during Max’s stay and even sent videos for us to enjoy. Would definitely recommend her for your doggy boarding needs.”

“Jen and Jon were wonderful sitters for our dog. This was the first time leaving her with a sitter and they made me feel very comfortable. I could tell Tootsie was well taken care of and receiving lots of love with each daily update. Drop off and pick up was easy and Jen responded quickly to any questions I had.”

“This was my first time using a pet sitter other than my family so I was very nervous. Geof was very patient and caring. I received daily updates and my girls had a wonderful time!! Nice pet friendly home with large fenced in backyard that Pickle and Millie enjoyed. I couldn’t have asked for better. I definitely would feel comfortable using Geof again next time.”

“Stephanie was the absolute best. Our dog loved being at her house. First time using Rover could not have been any better. Plus we received pictures all weekend. It was wonderful!”

About: As a recent college graduate working remotely from home, I’m looking for a dog fix while also helping those who need a break! I’ve grown up with a Chocolate Lab and a Rat Terrier which gave me various experience with little dogs and big dogs. Unfortunately they are not with us anymore which made me want to pick this up on the side! Remote every week day, except Wednesdays. Will be able to give care at any point in day/night except for my 30 minute meetings 3x per week. I have a big room in my office where the dog can play while I work, they will never be alone. The room has lots of natural sunlight and leads into a big backyard!

“I highly recommend Ashley and her husband Nick. This was the first time leaving my 2 puppies and I felt comfortable the moment I met them. They were so kind, friendly, and welcoming to my 2 puppies and also to me. Ashley kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and I could tell that my puppies were having the best time.”
