“Jana was very sweet. She came out to my car and helped me bring my doggos in to meet her little Oreo. We talked for a little bit and that made feel more comfortable in regards to leaving my babies with her. She was very easy going and flexible with our schedule. I got great daily updates to include pics. Great experience, we've already requested another date for a future trip we have coming up. I would highly recommend her.”

About: As a former veterinary technician, I bring professional experience, genuine compassion, and a deep understanding of animal care to every pet I look after. I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, comfortable, and truly cared for while you’re away. I offer personalized dog boarding, sitting, and basic training tailored to each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, prefers a quiet environment, needs extra patience, or simply loves some extra attention, I strive to make their time in my care feel like a home away from home. 🐾 With my veterinary background, I’m also comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or signs that something may not be quite right, giving pet parents an added level of reassurance. My goal is more than simply watching your dog — it’s providing them with loving, attentive care while maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. I have many long term established clients that would love to reach out to you if you wish! I currently provide full-time dog boarding and training from my home, where caring for animals is what I love and do every day. My mornings start with my furry guests, and my days are centered around making sure each dog feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for. 🐾 Every dog has their own unique personality, routine, energy level, and individual needs. I plan my days around each guest so I can provide personalized attention and care while also respecting the specific routines and preferences of my clients. While staying with me, every dog receives plenty of outdoor activity, exercise, playtime, and socialization, with opportunities to interact with myself and other dogs staying in my care. I also have a strong veterinary background from my previous experience as a veterinary technician, giving me additional knowledge and confidence when caring for dogs who require medications, special routines, or extra attention. Dogs with special medical or individual needs are always welcome, and I’m happy to work closely with their owners to make sure those needs are properly accommodated. My goal is to give every dog a comfortable, enriching home-away-from-home experience while giving their owners peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced and caring hands. ❤️🐶 When your dog is in my care, **their safety and well-being are always my top priority.** Dogs staying in my home are supervised throughout the day, both indoors and outdoors, and I strive to provide an environment where they can feel comfortable, secure, and included. I have a spacious, beautiful backyard where the dogs can enjoy plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and play. Inside the home, I provide safe, appropriate toys and activities based on the individual dogs and the dynamics of the group staying with me at the time. I’m mindful of each dog’s personality, play style, size, and needs when deciding what activities and toys are appropriate. On the rare occasion that a dog needs to be left unattended for a short period of time, I offer **large, secure crates** for owners who prefer their dogs to be crated. If an owner prefers that their dog not be crated, I have a designated, dog-safe area of my home where they can relax comfortably and safely while I’m briefly away. In many cases, dogs are even able to **join me when I leave the house**, depending on the owner’s preferences and what is appropriate for their dog\. My own dog is with me nearly everywhere I go, so I’m happy to include boarding guests whenever possible\. Every stay is personalized to the owner’s wishes and their dog’s individual needs\. My goal is to make sure your dog feels like part of the family while you’re away — with plenty of attention, activity, supervision, and, of course, lots of love. 🐾❤️

“Tiffany took excellent care of my Frenchie, Walter 💕 I did not have to worry at all and she gave great updates! I would absolutely use her again and recommend her help!”


About: I grew up on a farm and I've trained/cared for many different kinds of animals for over 20 years. I love animals and am excited to meet your fur baby! I own and operate my own business out of my house. My boss is me and I set my own schedule! So last minute changes are a-okay! I'm happy to exercise and feed and care for your sweet fur babies! I've cared for lots of different dogs and cats and am confident I can take care of yours!
“I had such a wonderful experience boarding my puppy, Bane! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt confident that he was in great hands. Lindsay and her husband were incredibly kind, attentive, and clearly passionate about the animals in their care. Bane can be a little shy at first, but they made him feel right at home. I received regular updates, including photos and messages, which really helped ease my mind while I was away. It was so comforting to see him happy, relaxed, and even making some new furry friends! When I picked him up, he was in great spirits and clearly well cared for. It's such a relief to know there's a place I can trust to take care of him like family. I will definitely be bringing Bane back for future stays—thank you for treating my boy so well! 🐾”

“Lovie was an awesome sitter! She was super communicative, responsive, caring, and kind. She provided us with many updates and pictures during our puppy’s stay. She took her to the dog park and did activities to keep her engaged and fulfilled. She loved our dog so well while we were away!”

“Savannah was quick to respond and professional! She sent pictures and updates frequently. My dogs were dealing with some anxiety due to being in a new environment during their stay and they she was very patient with them! 🩷 Her ability to take good care of my dogs while I was out of town gave me a peace of mind”


“Katie & Mario were AMAZING. They made Brownie feel right at home and sent us plenty of pictures every day to keep us updated on how she was doing. They are fantastic sitters who we will absolutely trust with Brownie in the future.”

About: Hi, I’m Dustin! I bring 33 years of hands-on pet care experience and a lifelong love for animals of all shapes and sizes. I currently share my home with a sweet dog, two cuddly cats, and two wonderfully curious rats — so I’m no stranger to different personalities, needs, and routines. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, goofy, or needs a little extra patience, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and understood. I treat every animal like one of my own, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. From belly rubs and playtime to calm companionship and reliable care, your pets will be in gentle, experienced hands. Looking forward to meeting your furry (or whiskered!) family! I work full-time, but I still make plenty of room in my schedule for quality pet care. I’m available early mornings, late afternoons, evenings, and nights, as well as weekends, for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I make sure each pet gets reliable attention, consistent routines, and lots of love — even with a busy workweek. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can relax, play, and follow their usual routines. I provide plenty of attention, supervised time, and cozy spots for resting. For drop-ins and walks, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their own space — feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up, giving medication if needed, and spending quality time so they feel secure. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them, I always treat every pet with the same care and kindness I give my own.

About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have cared for my own dog for the past four years. I also have experience walking friends’ dogs and helping my sister, who is a Rover sitter, care for the dogs she watches. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re with me. I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day, so your pet will get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I’m available throughout the week and can easily stick to your pet’s normal routine. Since I’m home most of the time, caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, follow all care instructions, and provide a calm, loving environment. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know how they’re doing.
“Fantastic dog sitter! Very reliable, great communication, and truly caring. Our dog was happy and well looked after. From regular updates and photos to sticking closely to our dog’s routine, everything was handled with professionalism and kindness. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned, which says it all. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Anthony, and I’d love to welcome your dog into our home! 🐾 I have a friendly, high-energy dog of my own who absolutely loves playing and interacting with other dogs, so your pup can have a built-in playmate during their stay. Of course, I always take each dog’s personality and comfort level into consideration—some dogs want to play all day, while others prefer their own space and plenty of relaxing time. When your dog stays with me, I want them to feel like they’re on a little vacation of their own. They’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and time to relax in a comfortable home environment. I know leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful, so I’m big on communication. I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your pup is doing while you’re away. I’m especially excited to care for dogs who enjoy playing, being active, and having a canine companion around. Whether your dog wants to spend the day running around with my pup or curling up somewhere cozy, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog beforehand so we can make sure it’s a great fit! 🐶
“100% recommend booking with Aleisa! Trevor and her treated goose like he was their own dog and she went above and beyond to make Goose's experience a good one. Aleisa making premade frozen peanut butter kongs for Goose and her dog just shows how well prepared she is for any dog and the special care your dog will get staying with her! She also has her own dog that is super friendly and allowed for Goose to get his socialization and play out of his system. She sends updates of your dog walking, playing, sleeping, etc so you never have to worry about how your dog is doing. Great choice for your dog to stay at and highly recommend!”

Jill and her family are amazing. I was nervous about leaving my fur babies with someone they didn’t know. But Jill and her family took care of them as their own. Tonight I booked them again and my dogs went right in and seemed to be at home. I highly recommend her for your fur baby
