When I say that Caylei is amazing, I really mean that. My cat, Tim, has special needs and can be temperamental/ really grumpy, at times. He has been fired from several boarding facilities for his bad attitude. Well, Caylei was willing to take him on and not only that, her care and patience was rewarded with a super happy cat all week! I am truly so thankful to have found her. She sent me updates, photos, and videos while I was gone, which really helped ease my mind. We have a few other trips planned that I wasn't sure we would be able to take if Tim misbehaved for her, too, but everything went significantly better than I ever hoped. Caylei is smart, caring, knowledgeable, and very competent in pet care, even in special circumstances. I can't recommend her enough.

About: I’ve been caring for pets and pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was young. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including larger breeds such as Pit Bulls, XL American Bullies, and Cane Corsos. I’m comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and safety. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just lots of attention and affection, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I promise to be dependable, responsible, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I am currently a college student home for the summer and do not have another job, which allows me to offer a very flexible schedule. I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding. If your pet is staying with me, I will be home for most of the day aside from occasional errands or appointments. This allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and companionship to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I live in a house with a yard and access to a dog park within my neighborhood, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, and enrichment. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions provided by owners and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I will provide attentive care tailored to their individual needs.

I was a bit nervous about leaving my Doodle with separation anxiety (for me as well as the dog) but Jonathan made it all good. The "meet and greet" at the dog park assured both of us that his and my dog were going to get along splendidly. I appreciated the great communication and pics that Jonathan sent to reassure me that all was well during the stay.

Annette was professional, communicative, and proficient. She took good care of my semi-senior Yorkshire terrier. I will definitely employ Annette’s services again, and I highly recommend her as a dog-sitter.

Emily was very patient with our stubborn English Bulldog. Her space was comfortable for our dog’s needs— added bonus of a fenced backyard. Emily is kind, compassionate, and responsive to communications. Would 100% recommend and use her services again.

Once again Stacy has provided the best home away from home experience. Maybe even better. My dogs love staying with her. They love her and her family and all of her 4 legged babies! So happy I found her. I completely trust her care and have total peace of mind when I drop them off!!

I had the pleasure of having Jess take care of my pup for 5 days. From the very beginning, it was clear that she truly loves animals. Stella (Sweet Pea) was well taken care of, and Jess kept me informed with updates and photos to give me peace of mind while I was out of town. Stella (Sweet Pea) has separation anxiety, and Jess helped ease the transition, gradually introducing her to the other pets and helping her to feel more at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and would definitely recommend Jess to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional pet care.

Xiomy is the greatest! My dog, Max, has the best time over there. She sends great pictures and videos every day. Max comes home worn out from playing well there. They also take him on walks and they have a great back yard. Their dog, Elma plays well with Max.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and lifelong experience caring for them. I’ve been watching and caring for dogs since I was 10, and I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same love and attention I’d give my own. I am a nurse but only work 3 days a week, and I’d love to help out on my days off! I have weekends off :) I provide safe and attentive care for walks and drop-in visits. I always follow your dog’s routine, ensure secure entry and exits, and keep them on a safe leash at all times. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy levels, and comfort, making sure they feel happy, calm, and well cared for while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and peace of mind are my top priorities

Sully loves going to Adam’s place and is always relaxed when coming home. He even eats when he gets home, which is a big sign for him that he enjoyed his stay away from me! Sully takes over Adam’s bed every time and I never worry about the amount of snuggles he’s getting while I’m gone!
