About: My wife and I had a successful dog-sitting business using a different app for years. Your pet will be well cared for. If they are on a special diet, no problem. I am organized and will ensure your pet is well-fed, walked, and playing. My wife and I are working from home so we will be happy to set your pet for you while you vacation or just want to take a little break. Your pet will be able to chill and relax or we can go to the near by dog park to get rid of that puppy energy. I have an open schedule. I work as a Lyft driver and have a side business. I have plenty of time to walk and play with the pets we care for. We ha e a fenced in large yard with plenty of space for the dogs to run and play in. They always enjoy playing and running in the yard.

“Despite the late request, Ross answered very quickly and was able to arrange a brief meeting the same night for Murdoch and his dog to meet. The day after, we left Murdoch with Ross and Ava and everything went monthly with a few pictures of Murdoch's day. I recommend Ross and Ava !”


“Elizabeth was amazing with Tater. He’s a puppy and, while the goodest of boys, takes some energy and a little patience. She even exposed him to her cat and gave us a full report on how he did with Miso so we’d know for future bookings. She was super flexible with our timing heading to/from Story Land with the kiddos and kept us up to date on what our littlest dude was up to while we were crushing the Polarcoaster.”


About: With over 7 years of hands-on experience as a devoted pet owner, I’ve cared for animals at every life stage—from the gentle needs of my senior toy poodle to the boundless energy of my young golden retriever. I specialize in creating a nurturing and safe environment, offering personalized care that includes potty training, leash walking, and reinforcing basic obedience commands like sit, stay, and recall. Whether it’s meeting the unique challenges of senior care or keeping active pups engaged, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a deep passion for happy, healthy pets. As someone who works from home with a flexible schedule, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m able to provide consistent attention throughout the day, from morning walks and feeding to playtime and enrichment activities. My flexible schedule ensures your pets receive the care and attention they need, with plenty of time for exercise, training, and affection. In my home, I provide designated spaces for my pets to rest and play, ensuring they have a comfortable and secure area. I also have a fenced yard where pets can safely enjoy outdoor time. Your pet will be safe and comfortable, and if they enjoy playing with other dogs, I can arrange playtime with mine. If preferred, I can keep pets separate or crate them if they are crate-trained, ensuring everyone feels relaxed. I follow a consistent routine for my dogs, including regular feeding, walks, and playtime, to maintain a sense of structure. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe and positive environment where pets feel at ease, with plenty of attention and affection throughout their stay.

“This was Deuce (my Yorkie’s) first dog care experience and it was a successful. Ethel was a great communicator and made this a great experience. Although this was the first time, it certainly will not be the last! Thank you Ethel!”


“Brodie had another wonderful stay with Raye! As always, Raye was communicative and shared lots of updates throughout the day. Thank you, Raye! We are so appreciative of the peace of mind you provide.”


About: I’ve had dogs all throughout my life (1 Husky and 1 Malamute) growing up and I’ve done pet sitting for dogs of all sizes since I was 13. I’ve even raised a Pitbull puppy from 8 weeks until they were 3 years old with a former partner until they had to move away for work with our dog in tow. I still see them sometimes and have missed him ever since! I work from home full-time 9 to 5 Monday through Friday with plenty of autonomy throughout my day, so caring for your pet is no problem! My weekends are largely free, and I’m quite a homebody other than my daily walks. I loved grooming my previous dog daily when I owned him with my previous partner. Also, I have a small dog park right downstairs from my condominium. I love giving dogs attention/playtime when they need it but am cognizant of when they need alone time!

“Deanna was friendly and caring, sent pics and video of our little guy. He seemed to have a good day hanging with her and her dogs. Her dogs are sweet and playful. Will definitely be back!”


About: I’m a lifelong dog owner who loves animals as much or more than people. A dog in our home becomes a part of the family. I have two little Pomeranians that are high strung, but very friendly with little and medium sized dogs. I have experience with senior pets, including medication administration and frequent potty breaks. We walk 3-5 times a day and have a large fenced in backyard. We like to hang out outside together or on the couch. All we’re missing is some company! I am home full time and pet care IS my daily routine at the moment. We are regular dog sitters for a few friends and are looking to add to our doggy friend group. We walk 3-5 times a day. We hang out in the backyard in the sun. We disperse treats. We cuddle on the couch. We take car rides to the park. We have occasional play breaks and/or nap time!

“Michaela's great! I contacted her the night before I needed a sitter for my 5 month old puppy, and she got back to me very quickly that she was available. She worked with my schedule and was a huge help in a pinch. I checked in with her a couple times during my pup's stay and she replied with updates and pictures. Thanks, Michaela!”

Miguel A.
“Miguel treats all dogs as if they are his own. He has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my dog. From the very first walk, it was clear that Miguel is not only reliable and professional but also genuinely cares about my dog's well-being. My pup always comes back happy, calm, and well-exercised. It's comforting to know that my pup is in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog walker!"”
