“God/Goddess thank you for Katie & her hubby too. Quilly was so so happy in the pictures and when I came home. Incredibly trustworthy and friendly lady (neighborly too! ) to care for pup.”


“This a second review and want to acknowledge what lovely care Theresa took of my 2 dogs. They were extremely happy when we came home and I know they were well cared for in our absence.”


About: I would love to meet you and your pup! I am a patient, understanding, and experienced caregiver. I have cared for puppies, adult dogs, and older dogs. I am also experienced giving oral medication and ear/eye drops. I know how important your dog is to your family and I will care for them like they're my own! I have a very open schedule to care for your doggo! My only restrictions are working around an appointment or two each day. I have a reliable, dog-friendly vehicle and am ready to meet your family! The first thing I do is a visual check for safety and then see to your dog's needs. Then we can play in the yard, go for a "sniff walk", or do some enrichment puzzles/lick mats. I am also happy to do other house-sitting tasks like getting the mail, watering the plants, feeding the fish, etc. Lastly, I will always send a picture and update to your family!

“Elizabeth took great care of our dog while we went away!! She sent us pictures and gave us updates making our vacation enjoyable knowing we left our 4 legged kid in great hands! Definitely would recommend her care for your family pets 🐶🐶”


About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as friends and family dogs for years now. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, as well as all personalities. I am familiar with low energy and high energy breeds, and know how to cater to each of them. I also specialize in dogs that have anxiety as well as reactivity, and know how to monitor their behavior and understand them in a way that most humans and other animals do not. I currently work full time, Monday-Friday so all animals would need to be able to be home alone for around 8-9 hours during the weekdays. My current hours are 6:30am-3pm, so I make a point to be available in the morning before I leave for work, and then after I return from work. This also applies to drop-ins. I make a point to be fully available on weekends since I am away often during the weekdays, but am also home early enough during the week that I can spend the afternoon, evening, and night with your furry little ones. I will care for your pets by following the owners’ and pets’ needs, I never stray from instructions. I will ensure safety precautions are always taken, as your animals safety is my highest priority.

“Daniel is so lovely and took amazing care of our pets while we were away! Our high energy pups seemed so comfortable with him right away. From the first message he was so quick to respond and a great communicator — which is so important to me. Will absolutely book with him again!”


About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and began attending dog training sessions with my parents when I was just six years old. From age 6 to 16, I learned more than just commands—I learned how to connect with dogs, understand their behavior, and earn their trust. My mom always believed it was important to understand how dogs think, and that’s shaped how I care for animals today. Now, I share my home with Gracie, my sweet golden retriever, and two lovable female cats. Living with both dogs and cats has taught me how to balance different personalities and routines, and I love every minute of it. Over the years, I’ve dog-sat for friends and truly enjoy caring for all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup is playful, shy, high-energy, or a senior in need of some extra TLC, I’ll be there with patience, respect, and lots of love. I genuinely believe dogs are better than people—so your pet will be treated like family while you're away. I'm comfortable with all breeds, offer dog walking and overnight stays, and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. During the week, I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, but I’m completely open on weekends and available on all major holidays. Whether you’re headed out of town or just need someone to stop in and give your pup a walk or cuddle, I’ve got you covered. I have a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, but I never leave any dog unattended outside—supervision is always a must, even in a secure space. I believe in providing a safe, structured, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I share my home with my golden retriever, Gracie, who is super friendly and loves making new doggy friends. I also have two sweet female cats. All of my pets are spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, and used to sharing their space calmly and respectfully. Whether your dog is staying for a visit or just dropping by for playtime, you can feel confident knowing they’ll be safe, supervised, and treated like part of the family.

About: I'm available to provide the best care for all your furry (or fur-less), scaly, and or feathered friends. I understand that each pet has unique needs, from daily walks and belly rubs for dogs to creating the perfect habitat for reptiles and keeping your cat’s world enriched with toys and cuddles. I offer compassionate care tailored to your pet’s specific personality and requirements, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away. No matter the species, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, with lots of attention, patience, and of course, treats! I'm currently working and going to school part-time, but feel free to reach out and I'll see what I can do to help you out! I always prefer to provide care in your home, and will treat your home, property and of course your pets with the upmost respect. In addition to caring for your pets, I am happy to bring in the mail or delivered packages, and provide other random services at your request as needed. I may be able to provide boarding care in my home with notice on a case by case basis provided your pet is house-trained and gets along well with my personal pets.


“You could not find more thoughtful and caring people to genuinely love your pet than Kelly and Nabil. They prioritized Elmer’s health and happiness to the highest degree and made sure we received videos and photos every day. We feel very lucky to have them in Elmer’s life.”


“Tara sent beautiful photos of my girl, and it is obvious just how happy she is. Tara is knowledgeable about dog care, and identified a potential ear infection right away, and our vet told me she did all the right things and it cleared up the next day. I completely trust her with the care of my dog and my home and will definitely book with Tara again.”


“Kaleigh did an excellent job taking care of my fur babies! She gave me daily updates and kept in contact with me throughout my entire trip. Highly recommend kaleigh to anyone looking for an in-home dog sitter!”


About: Hi y'all! I am an all around animal lover. My girls and I take any dogs that we are watching on walks with us every night, we have lots of fun. Pets are allowed on the furniture, unless you state explicitly state you don't want them to be. I prefer not to kennel overnight, but there are always exceptions to the rule! I am able to help with puppies and older pups alike; age is not an issue. Please ask any questions you may have for me, thank you so much we can’t wait to meet you! I am currently working part time but I am always available for nightly drop ins or for any early morning stops on my way in. I am always respectful of your safety protocols, gates are always double and triple checked, doors are always checked to be shut correctly. Food and water levels are consistently monitored. Instructions are always followed to the letter.

“Lucy was perfect for our high energy but attention loving dog. She was respectful of our home and had great communication. We will continue to use her when she is available.”


“Angela took great care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats over a long weekend! She reported on their status frequently and sent lots of pictures. We have a dog who has some fear aggression with unfamiliar people, and she was patient and understanding and was able to earn his trust. Thanks so much, Angela!”


About: I've taken care of variety of dogs and cats. When living in California I took care of two senior Dachshund with a series of medications and injections. I am also great with younger animals, I love to play with them and work out their energy. I’m currently working full time as a health care worker Monday through Thursday 7:30am-4:30pm and 7:30-12:00pm on Friday. I am available for walks, feeds, pop ins outside of those hours. My time is more flexible on weekends! Ask me about a day and I will do whatever I can to make it work! I will make sure all the pets needs are met. Water bowl refills, plenty of play time, feedings if needed. Overall safety for your pet is my first priority! I have had digs of my own with tons of energy. I currently have a senior cat and a kitten (two ends of the energy spectrum) I will treat every animal like my own.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life — I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and currently have two dogs and three cats of my own. I started pet sitting and house sitting at just 13 for neighbors and family friends, and over time I built a small network through word of mouth. Over time I have taken care of many pets with many different needs and personalities. Whether it’s a cozy cuddle session or an energetic walk, I treat every pet like they’re my own. While I work full time during the week, I'm available after 4 PM Monday–Wednesday and after 5 PM on Fridays. My weekends are wide open so you can have worry-free coverage while you're away! When caring for pets I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being above all else. I follow any specific instructions you provide, from feeding schedules to medication administration, and keep a close eye on your pet’s behavior to ensure they feel happy and secure. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and make sure they get plenty of love, exercise, and mental stimulation. Communication is key, so I keep you updated regularly with messages and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s trust and safety are my top priorities.

About: I’ve had 2 Golden retrievers. One passed away in my arms. I can train puppies. I can take care of older senior dogs too. Specialize in friendly dogs, but I can work with any dog with any personality. I’m looking to make pet care a full time purpose driven endeavor. Right now working part time so I’m available for pet sitting TH, FRIDAY, SAT & SUN. In my home I have a fenced yard and my 8 year old golden, buddy. If needed I can offer in home services but I prefer to go to clients home.

“Stacey was wonderful! She was so easy to communicate with ahead of watching our dog and was also super self sufficient around our house. There was a bad storm when she was scheduled to watch our dog and we live in a pretty remote area and she had zero complaints. She was fantastic all around!”
