About: Hi! My name is Isabel and I truly love animals. I have several years of experience caring for pets for friends and family and I treat every dog like part of my own family. I provide a safe, calm and loving environment where your pet will feel comfortable and cared for. I enjoy walking, playing and giving dogs the attention they deserve. I always send photos and updates so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness and comfort are always my priority. During the week I am available in the mornings and early afternoons (8 AM – 4:30 PM). I attend classes from 5:30 PM to 8:15 PM, but I am available again in the evenings after that if needed. On weekends I have more flexibility and can work mornings or afternoons. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. When I stay in a pet owner’s home, I follow their routines and instructions carefully to keep their pets relaxed and happy. I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect, just like they were my own.

“I had a great experience with Rebecca. She was very thorough in explaining her process and showing me exactly where my dog would be kept. You could immediately tell she truly cares about dogs and is a genuine dog lover. I felt completely safe and comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Highly recommend!”

“Before I could even call to check on my fur baby, BJ sent videos & pictures of her & it made me feel so at ease. I really appreciated the last minute support for her & highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care and trained all sorts of dogs since I was a child! My mother and myself did Paws Woth A Cause training ever since I was 7 years old so I have 10+ years experience of training and have a golden retriever currently! I work part time so I have plenty of time to be home and care for your pet(s)! Boarding from Thursday-Sunday (24hour) and weekdays after 5pm! I have a fenced in backyard and a very safe neighborhood for walks! I also have a loving golden retriever to play with any dog here! If your pet needs to be crated we can talk about that as well!

“We had a wonderful experience with Cassandra! This was Cookie’s first time staying with a sitter, and she made us feel completely at ease. She was very kind, communicative, and sent us several photo updates throughout the day. Cookie enjoyed walks, spent time with Cayenne, and came home happy and relaxed. We would absolutely trust Cassandra with Cookie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. Thank you so much!”

About: I've taken care of every kind of dog over the years. Friends and family have relied on me to care for their fur babies and give them all the love while their owners are away. I'm currently working remote and looking for any reason to get my steps in, so I have lots of time and flexibility to care for your fur babies! I don't have any children or pets in my apartment currently. But have an amazing dog park, lots of walkable areas in my neighborhood, and even an outside dog bath!

“My dog, Harlan, is a rescue we've had for a year. We recently had an event at our house that included over 30 adults and children who he has never met. I decided a pet sitter. Was a good option. Harlan was very nervous when we got to Christopher's house., but Christopher gained his trust quickly. A feat still not accomplished by friends Harlan knows well. Would definitely recommend.”

Animals have always held a very special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I truly love and take pride in. I regularly care for multiple dogs and understand the importance of keeping each pet safe, comfortable, happy, and loved. I carefully follow every pet parent’s instructions,( I ask that you provide a written copy with there stuff upon drop off) We provide plenty of attention and playtime, and treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because they are never alone, someone is always home and available to give each pet plenty of attention. I plan my days around feeding, potty breaks, playtime, rest, and each pet’s individual needs, so they always receive dependable care and lots of love. Meet and greets are limited to 15 minutes. Please arrive on time for all meet and greets, drop-offs, and pick-ups, as frequent late arrivals affect my schedule. Late arrivals may need to be shortened or rescheduled. Thank you for understanding! We are extremely flexible and will work with you. We just ask that you understand we make our pet visitors as comfortable as we can, and some pet visitors dont do well with meet and greets. (We dont want pet visitors that are staying feeling overwhelmed.)During meet and greets we will put all pet visitors away in separate bedrooms to insure they all stay safe. As safety is our TOP priority. We thank you for understanding 🙏 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. We have a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and use dog gates when needed to keep everyone safe and comfortable. We do use crates for bedtime to insure the safety of all pet visitors. We do watch some without crates. And use gates to keep all safe throughout the night.

About: Hi! I’m a professional dog groomer who works with pups of all breeds, ages, and personalities every day — from playful puppies to sweet seniors and shy/anxious dogs. I’m great at reading body language and helping pets feel calm, safe, and comfortable right away. I offer boarding, dog walking, and home visits, and I keep pets on their normal routine so they feel at home, not stressed. My grooming experience also means I notice changes in skin, ears, coat, or behavior quickly and will always keep you updated. Lots of love, patience, and happy tails guaranteed — your pet will be treated like family while you’re away 🐾 I have a home base grooming salon. I work from home in my own grooming salon, so pets are part of my day! Whether it’s boarding, walks, or home visits, I make sure every furry friend gets love, attention, and a consistent routine. Flexible mornings, afternoons, or evenings — your pet will feel happy, safe, and cared for 🐾 I work from home in my own grooming salon, so pets are always in a clean, safe, and calm environment. I have a fully fenced yard for playtime and exercise, plus a separate, quiet boarding room where pets can relax and feel secure. For home visits or walks, I follow each pet’s routine, respect their space, and make sure they’re safe at all times. I also monitor behavior, health, and well-being, and keep owners updated so you always know your furry friend is happy and cared for 🐾

About: 🐾 Your dog will be treated like family from the moment they arrive. I know how hard it is to leave your furry best friend with someone else, which is why I make it my mission to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment where they feel right at home. I’ve spent over 20 years caring for dogs of all personalities and sizes, and I genuinely love every minute of it. Whether your pup enjoys playing fetch, going for walks, exploring the yard, or getting plenty of belly rubs and attention, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for throughout their stay. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is in great hands. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care, and I treat each one as if they were my own. I’d love to meet you and your four-legged family member, send me a message and let’s see if we’re the perfect match! I work from home, which means your pup will enjoy plenty of companionship, attention, and supervised time throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to provide regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of love. Like any family, I occasionally step out for errands or appointments. If your dog experiences separation anxiety or isn’t comfortable being left alone for short periods, I kindly ask that you provide a crate or let me know their specific needs in advance so we can ensure they stay safe and comfortable while I’m away. My goal is to make every pet feel at home while giving owners complete peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I care for both dogs and cats, and I treat every furry guest like a member of my own family. For dogs staying in my home, I provide frequent, structured potty breaks and exercise throughout the day. Since I don’t have a fenced backyard, dogs are taken on regular walks every 2–3 hours and again about 40 minutes after meals to keep them comfortable, active, and on a healthy routine. My home has an open-concept layout, and all pets remain safely on the downstairs level with a baby gate blocking access to the stairs, creating a secure environment where they can relax and play under supervision. For cats, I provide a calm, low-stress environment that respects their unique personalities and routines. Whether they’re playful or prefer their own space, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving them the attention they need on their terms. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet—and to have complete peace of mind while you’re away.

“Freya ADORES Melissa and Royce. Whether it’s one day, or two weeks, she’s happy to be there. She’s an anxious older dog but chills right out with Royce at her side, and always comes come exhausted from playing with him. ❤️ Melissa is super communicative and kind, the dogs spend lots of time outside and get lots of love. Finding a good place for Freya to stay has given us so much comfort and freedom!”

“Kristina is fantastic! She accepted our last minute request to watch our puppy on a holiday weekend was joyful and professional with us and our puppy. We would highly recommend Kristina to any family who wants the best loving care for a furry friend.”

About: I have plenty of experience caring for dogs of every kind – including dogs that lack training. I love giving furry friends my undivided attention through many walks/outdoor activities and cuddles! I currently work from home full-time, giving me plenty of time to care for your pet. I go on walks regularly throughout my day and if I leave my home, I always return within 2 hours. Your fur baby will rarely be left alone. I recently adopted Kira, a German Shepard mix (about 35lbs), who does great with other dogs. I live in an apartment complex that has plenty of room to safely play (on a lease) and a fenced-in dog park.

“Just wonderful! Ivy will literally play fetch until she croaks and unfortunately some people find it annoying when she keeps tossing her toys at them, but Stephanie said her kids absolutely loved playing fetch with her 🩷 when I picked her up, she fell asleep in the car on our 15 minute drive home which means she got all of her energy out which I’m thankful for! Will schedule again in the future 🥰”

About: I’ve been caring for my own cat since he was just 4 weeks old, and he’s now 3 years old. Raising him from such a young age has given me firsthand experience with every stage of a cat’s life; from bottle-feeding and socialization to establishing routines, monitoring his health, and understanding his unique personality and behaviors. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, enrichment, administering basic care, and recognizing when something seems out of the ordinary. I understand that every pet has a different personality, whether they’re playful and outgoing or shy and reserved. My goal is to make each pet feel as relaxed, loved, and cared for as possible while their family is away, giving owners peace of mind that their furry friend is in caring and dependable hands. Pet care naturally fits into our daily routine because either my husband or I are almost always home. This allows us to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and regular feeding throughout the day. The only time we’re both away is on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Outside of those hours, someone is home to make sure your pet receives the care, supervision, and affection they deserve. We enjoy maintaining a consistent routine so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re in my care. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special instructions from their owner. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and supervised care throughout the day. While I don’t have a fenced backyard, I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with a nearby dog park, and I’m happy to take dogs on regular walks to ensure they get the exercise and enrichment they need. I also have a friendly 3-year-old cat who is comfortable around other animals. If a pet prefers their own space or an owner requests it, I’m able to keep pets separated as needed. I’m also happy to crate pets if that’s part of their normal routine or allow them to roam freely if they’re crate-free at home.
