Myle was great at taking care of my dog! She made sure he was comfortable around her other dogs. Myla also kept me updated on how he was doing and sent lots of pics and videos of him throughout the day. Will definitely book with her again! Thank you again Myle!!

Our Maisey LOVED her time with Makenna and Ming. They were very responsive when I wanted to book with them and answered my questions quickly. You can tell that they really love their own dogs and really provide a safe and nurturing environment for all the puppies in their care. Thanks for taking such good care of Maisey!

Fabio is having a wonderful time at Jessica's (and Piper's) place! He comes back exhausted and content from a big day of playing and fun and it's great to see him excited for the next time when I drop him off in the morning for Daycare. I would recommend her.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, also caring for other people’s. Between my five children, I have 10 grand dogs, with weights ranging from 15 pounds to over 100. We are a very pet friendly family with dogs, cats, and Guinea pigs! Each and everyone are not just our pets, but family, This is exactly how I treat other people’s fur babies in my care. I’m currently retired with a walking trail behind my house. I walk 6 to 7 miles a day and really enjoy it when I can have a fur baby along. I are home all day, so I have plenty of time to love on your pets. I let them up on our furniture and in my bed. I always treat them as family, just like all my own pets were treated. I have a large yard, so plenty of space to run. There’s a walking trail right behind our home. With permission, there are dog parks close by. Pets are welcome anywhere in my house. I’ve cared for dogs from 10 pounds to over 100, all loved just the same.

About: Family and Friends have called me the “dog whisperer”, because I am able to connect with their pets so easily. I feel pets are such a big part of your family; your baby, your little one, or your child almost. You would be entrusting me with the care of this most precious part of your family. I love to be down on the floor giving the fur babies my undivided attention … whether it be petting, playing, belly scratching, brushing, or loving on your fur baby. I Love to be face-to-face and making a connection with the pets. I am also a walker myself, so I I love to be outside walking your pets. I work from home and my schedule is extremely flexible. My schedule is able to be put on hold for periods of time, if more time and attention are required or needed. I am able to leave to walk your fur baby, pet-sit at your place, or take care of your fur baby at my home. Pet care is as on-hands and giving as much attention to your fur baby as you wish. I am ready to love them as much as they want and need. I do live in an apartment with places surrounding the building to take dogs outside to potty. There is a new dog park just a block from where I reside. My building is a secure building that is locked with cameras everywhere in the hallways. There are long hallways in my building with very few residents and lots of room to run inside when weather outside is not good. I am able to leave as often as needed to walk dogs. Also, I am able to care for your fur babies in their own home or at my residence.

About: Hi! Caring for your pets like they’re my own, I thrive in a busy, happy home with three kids! I’m experienced with puppies, energetic adolescent dogs, and the gentle care seniors need—including medication support. I’ve been trusted with pets and people alike, always caring for the ones you love most. My kids love playing and snuggling with pets who enjoy children, and we also have a cat who keeps to himself and a chill lizard who stays out of the action. With a large fenced yard, flexible schedule, and short-notice availability, your pets get attention, walks, play, and plenty of love in a safe, fun environment. Best fit: Pets who thrive with energy, interaction, and lots of affection! If you’re unsure whether I’m the right fit, please send me a message—I’d love to discuss it with you. I’m currently a homemaker with 3 kids (1 in school full time, 1 in half-day school in the mornings, and 1 home all the time with me). I’m available 8:30 am to 10:30 am and 11:00 am to 3:00 pm most week days. I can be fairly flexible with that, so if your needs fall beyond that, please send me a message to see if we can make something work! I have a fenced-in yard that is directly accessible from my back door. I have an XL kennel if needed. Baby gates and closed doors keep your pet in a safe, supervised area and my cat’s needs well out of reach. My home has a mix of ceramic tile, hardwood, LVP flooring and a large area rug.

About: Hi there! I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and personalities for years — from playful puppies to sweet senior companions. My experience started with fostering young dogs (puppies to 1-year-olds), where I focused on building good habits through positive training and structured play. I now have a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m no stranger to puppy energy, consistency, and enrichment! He currently is at Hunt Test training and most likely will not be home. Before that, I cared for my elderly family dog, learning the patience and attentiveness needed to support dogs through every life stage. I believe every dog deserves more than just a walk — they deserve time to think, play, explore, and bond. I love incorporating brain games, problem-solving toys, and active play to keep dogs mentally sharp and physically happy. Whether it’s a fun training session, a sniff-filled walk, or cuddle time after a good play, I make sure each pup feels safe, stimulated, and loved. I currently work from home, which helps me keep an attentive eye on your pup! My office is set up with a kennel so that your pups can play or snooze right next to me. Working from home also means I’ll be able to work from your home if that is desired! I am able to shift my working hours in the day, so if we need a nice hour long lunch walk, that’s no issue! Right now, my dog Bo is away at hunt test training, so your pup will have my full attention during their stay or visits. If Bo comes home from training, I’ll always check with you first to make sure you’re comfortable before any introductions or playtime together — your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At home, I have a secure outdoor play pen where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and playtime. I’m also in the process of having a full fence installed within the month to provide even more freedom and security for outdoor fun. I take pet safety seriously — from watching for heat and hydration during play to using safe, durable toys. During walks, I make sure each dog is properly fitted with the right collar or harness for their comfort and control. I’m also experienced in using pinch/prong collars correctly and safely for dogs who are trained with them, ensuring a calm and confident walking experience. No matter where I’m caring for your dog — in your home or mine — I strive to create a secure, trusting, and enriching environment where they can relax, play, and thrive.

Emily was super great with my pup! She took him early in the morning and she & her dogs wore out mine! I have never seen my 9 month old dog so tired and worn out. She took lots of pictures and replied quickly throughout the days!

About: I've always been passionate about dogs and can hardly remember a time when I didn't have one of these amazing, loyal companions by my side. I've been dog sitting for friends and family members for years, and I enjoyed it so much that I decided to branch out so that I can meet even more fur friends. I also do dog training/owner coaching, and I believe it's never too late to teach a dog new tricks. My schedule has changed where I no longer work remotely, which means my availability is limited. However, that hasn't changed my love of dog sitting, and so I will still watch my fur friends on a part time basis, schedule permitting. I have a huge back yard with a 6 ft privacy fence for ample room to run and play and even a doggie pool to splash around in to stay cool. My house is a couple blocks down from the trail for my fur friends who love to go for walks to get some of that extra energy out.
