About: Hi there! I grew up with a dog by my side, and my family had a beloved pup until last year. My kids have been begging for another, but for now, we’ve decided to channel our love for animals into caring for yours! My kids and I are here to provide plenty of attention, belly rubs, and care while you’re away. Think of us as the fun aunt and uncle (and cousins!) for your pets—plenty of playtime, snuggles, and treats (with your permission, of course!). We can’t wait to meet your four-legged family members! Between my husband, who works from home full-time, and me being a stay-at-home mom, there’s always someone here to care for your pet. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, snuggles, or just having company throughout the day, your furry friend will never be alone for long. Our flexible schedules allow us to provide consistent care, making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. We have a spacious, fenced-in backyard, perfect for playtime and fresh air. Our neighborhood is also great for walks, offering plenty of safe and scenic routes. If your pet is crate-trained, I’m happy to accommodate that, but we also have the flexibility to let them roam freely in our home. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so whether they’re staying with us or I’m caring for them in your home, I’ll follow your routines and rules to make them feel as comfortable as possible.
“Ian and Alia,was great very patient with me being nervous about Rocko first day,definitely will be re-booking with them I highly recommend them thank you guys so much🤗🫶🏻”
About: I grew up around dogs all my life. I am confident with all dog sizes large and small. Dogs gravitate to me. I can sit or play or walk with any dog. Right now I have no dog of my own, but would love to share in the care of yours. Dogs are naturally migratory animals and I would love to spend time moving forward walking with your family member. I allow dogs to get to know me and win their trust with me at the dogs pace. The will have a calm confident caregiver to spend time with them.
About: Aside from growing up with animals, I have watched pets of friends and family since I was young. I also spent many years nannying kids & family pets. I’m a single mom of my dog-ter Kashi for the past 5.5 years. Being my own boss gives me tons of time and space at home to share my love and care with your beloved animals! I run my own company remotely and make my schedule, giving me tons of time to give love and attention to your pets. I go on multiple walks a day and can keep your pet healthy and active! I have my own space which is already prepped for animals as I have my dog here. I don’t have an enclosed yard but live in a complex with trails and tons of nature. I also have direct ground access on the first floor and a patio space with grass.
About: I have experience pet sitting for 20 years. I am familiar with dogs that require medication and can also administer insulin to non aggressive dogs if needed I work from home full time and can provide daily walks multiple times a day based on your dogs needs, frequent potty breaks, belly rubs, treats, and endless love to your dog. I own a home with a fenced in yard. I have three children between the ages of 8-13. I have yellow lab that’s approximately 2 years old and a 5 year old female Keeshond.
“Stephanie was great! Super friendly and timely. We really appreciated the pick up/drop off option. We can tell our pup had a great time and was well cared for. 100% will be going back the next time we need someone to watch Finn!”
“I had to book last minute and Joe was very responsive and took great care of our dogs (all 3!). We got a lot of pictures and he even recorded walks, bathroom breaks, and made sure each dog had their own bed. Would definitely book again.”
About: I’m a retired woman that has 30 years of pet care experience. I have raised two dogs and one cat. I have experience with chow chows, cats, and a west highland terrier. Since I am older now, I prefer smaller dogs that I can control while out on walks. My dog passed away 7 years ago and I miss having an animal around to take care of. My schedule is open for animal care since I am retired. My only commitments are my home duties such as cleaning, cooking, and weekly shopping. For boarding, I offer care in my suburban home. I live in a nice neighborhood with many trails and parks nearby. There is enough room in the house for dogs to move around and run if they need.
About: Welcome to Jack’s Place! 🐾 After 14 wonderful years with our beloved dog, Jack, we weren’t quite ready to stop having dogs in our lives—but we also weren’t ready to have another dog of our own. So we decided to open our home to dogs who would enjoy a comfortable, loving place to spend the day. We’re a family of four with a large fenced-in yard and a quiet, comfortable home. Both adults work from home, so someone is typically around throughout the day. Your dog will get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, outdoor time, and companionship, and won’t be left alone for long stretches. Our goal is simple: to give your dog a comfortable home away from home where they can relax and feel like part of the family. Jack was our first dog, and we cared for him from seven weeks old through every stage of his life, including his senior years and the medical and dietary needs that came with them. We also regularly interact with and occasionally care for my brother-in-law’s three pit bulls, who live just two houses away. Our school-age kids have grown up with dogs and are very comfortable around them. Because of our experience with Jack, we’re especially comfortable with senior dogs, special diets, routine medications, and other medical needs. We offer in-home dog daycare Monday through Friday, approximately 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Our home is quiet during the workday, and while we both work from home, I have occasional off-site meetings. At least one of us is generally home and around throughout the day. We can provide potty breaks every couple of hours, along with plenty of attention and opportunities for backyard play. Our kids leave for school between 7:40 and 8:20 a.m. and return home between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m., so the house is especially quiet during most of the workday. Your dog will have access to our main living area and our large fenced-in backyard. Neighborhood walks may be possible if specifically requested and if we can accommodate one around our work schedules, but walks aren’t guaranteed as part of daycare. A meet-and-greet at our home is required before any daycare booking. This gives you and your dog a chance to meet us, see our home and fenced-in yard, and make sure everyone is comfortable. It also gives us a chance to learn about your dog’s personality, routine, and needs.
About: My family and I had our own dog for thirteen years. She passed away a couple years ago and we are looking forward to having some dog joy back in our house. We have a twelve year old daughter that loves dogs as well. We live in a subdivision with sidewalks and would love to take your pup on walks. Your pup will have free roam of the house and be allowed on furniture and our bed (if that is what you would like). Your pup will be the only pup at my house at the time of boarding. I only allow one dog at my house at a time. They will be my top priority. There is nothing I would love to do more than take care of your pup. I am a teacher and work school hours during the year (7-3:30) and am home on the breaks and summer vacation. I am available all week and weekend and am flexible. I will follow your directions. I have a large back yard. I will care for your dog based on the instructions you give me. Your dog is welcome on any surface of my home. Dog must be potty trained to go outside (not accepting pups that use pee pads) and dog must be non shedding (our daughter had allergies).
About: 15 years of shelter volunteer work plus caring for my own dogs for 16 years. Frequently dog sit for both of my daughters and my son-in-law. After losing my last dog at 17, I would love to provide care, love and walks for yours. I work from home and set my own appointments outside of the home so I can determine precisely when I'll be home. Although I don't have a fenced yard we have a great neighborhood for walks. Dogs should be able to free roam as I don't currently have a crate; or you can provide a crate. Please bring any special toys, bed, etc. that will help your dog acclimate!
“Tiffany and Steven watched my Great Dane puppy this time and gave him so much love! He can be a real handful and I needed some space to get my home ready to sell. They treated him like their own and sent so many cute pics. He got to go on lots of walks, have the bed to himself (and the humans) , and got to play with all the toys he could find. Otto had a blast. I cant recommend them enough. Thank you guys so much!”
About: I love and care for all types of pets. I began dog sitting and walking for neighbors, friends, and family when I was 14, but I learned how to care for pets at home from a very young age. I grew up around dogs and cats, and my family has always had at least two pets at a time. I recently graduated with my master’s degree and started working in my field. My job is hybrid, with 50% of my time in the office and 50% working from home, so my schedule is currently very flexible. I also love hiking and exploring new trails! I’m excited to have my own puppy one day, but in the meantime, I would be more than happy to care for your fur baby so you can enjoy your vacation or work trips worry-free. I understand that every pet has different needs, and every home has different rules. I will make sure to carefully follow all safety instructions and house rules while caring for your furry baby/babies. My schedule is very flexible because I work a hybrid job, spending part of my week working from home. This allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend care, and I always make time to follow each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Safety is my biggest priority. I have been watching dogs for a few years now, and one thing I notice is every dog owner has their own definition of what safety looks like for their pet. I always try my best to keep the routine that the dog owners have already established for their pet, so that the pet does not feel unsafe or stressed.
“Mark and Nadine are a class act and do such an amazing job with our little pup. Our dog is excited to see them every morning that we drop her off. Thank you for being so amazing. I appreciate you!”
“Shelly was so sweet to our dog Pookie. Our plans got cut short so she didn’t stay as long as we expected but I still got a pic from Shelly of Pookie all snuggled up on the couch”

About: With over twenty years of experience rescuing and retraining 3 German Shepherd Dogs, and one Chocolate Lab.

Jomari took care of Cocoa for the day while my partner and I went to the Renaissance Festival. I could immediately tell that she was a pet person because Cocoa ran right to her and was excited to go inside. She was very responsive, and sent us cute pictures of Cocoa throughout the day. Cocoa came home happy and tired after a day of walks, playtime, and looking out her favorite window. I will absolutely book with Jomari again.
