About: I provide a calm, structured home environment along with attentive home visits. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’m home the majority of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention. Because of this, your pup won’t be left alone for extended periods. My home is clean, pet-safe, and designed for comfort. I intentionally limit the number of dogs I board at one time to ensure each pet receives attentive, high-quality care. Located in the desirable and safe Pembrooke neighborhood, I also provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

Laura was awesome! Chacco had a blast during his weekend sleepover and loved hanging out with the other pups. She took great care of him, and I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. He came home happy and tired—always a good sign! Definitely booking with her again.

About: I’ve grown up taking care of my own dogs both small and large breeds as well as cats. I’ve also taken care of pets for friends and family while they are out of town. I have been working in healthcare since 2019 so I har lots of care giving experience I currently work Monday through Friday and would love do drop in visits before or after work. Also would be available for overnight care on weekends. prioritize maintaining the pet’s home routine, diet, and comfort level, all pets in my care for overnights are offered free roam in a safe environment but am willing to cage pet if owner would prefer to do that as well.

When I picked up Jackson, I was not sure he wanted to leave his vacation with Kathryn and her wonderful family! Sure he was excited to see us, but, then he laid down next to Kathryn as if he was feeling pretty comfortable at her home! She sent photos and write ups daily and this made me feel so much better about leaving him in her care. It was like he knew the family forever! This was the first time we went away without him in 8 years so I was a bit anxious about leaving. I would have no problems leaving him again if I have another opportunity to do so. I highly recommend Kathryn and I know he was very happy being there and well cared for. He enjoyed his daily walks and never missed a meal and perhaps, Me!!!! If there were 10 stars I would click everyone of them!

Stephanie took such good care of our 12 year old yorkipoo, when we were out of the country for three weeks. She constantly sent updates and pics to show how he was doing. She even gave his meds every day and even got more meds from my vet as I didn’t give her right amount of meds. I cannot recommend Stephanie enough as a pet sitter. I will definitely use her again.

About: I’ve had dogs growing up my whole life, have two dogs, my 8 year old Pomeranian, Toby, and my 2 year old lab scout. We also have 3 cats; Finn, Sassy and sully I’m currently a stay at home mom raising my 14 month old son. He usually comes with me to do my rovers and does really well with animals as he has a bunch at home. He’s usually kept busy with toys or a movie while I do drop ins. We have house sitted before and he’s done well with that. My dogs are let out every two - four hours . My cats are fed twice daily once in the morning and again before bedtime but dry food is left out all day for grazing.

Ruby had a great time! Lots of individual attention and a safely fenced big yard where she could run around and play. Ruby was happy to see me but whined at leaving her new friends when we drove away. I'll definitely be coming back!

About: With 15 years of experience, animals aren’t just my job, they’re my world. I bring genuine love and dedication to every pet in my care, whether they’re a playful pup, a curious kitten, or a wise senior companion. Beyond standard sitting services, I offer full grooming care including bathing, brushing, nail trims, teeth cleaning, and ear cleaning, so your pet comes home not just happy, but fresh and well-tended. Having these skills in-house means less stress for your pet and more convenience for you. Cats and dogs both hold a special place in my heart, and after 15 years, I’ve learned how to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would at home.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Pet care is woven into every part of my day. My mornings start with feeding, walks, and making sure every animal in my care gets one on one attention before anything else. Throughout the day I check in on their needs, whether that is playtime, grooming, or just some quiet companionship. Evenings are for winding down together, because pets thrive on consistency and I make sure they always feel settled and secure. This is not something I squeeze into my schedule. It is my schedule. Animals are my priority seven days a week, and that kind of commitment is something every pet owner deserves to know their sitter has. Whether I am in your home or mine, my goal is always the same, to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. I tailor my care to each animal’s personality and routine, because no two pets are alike. When caring for pets in my home, they become part of my daily life. They sleep comfortably, play freely, and receive constant attention throughout the day and night. I keep things calm and nurturing so even nervous or anxious pets can relax and settle in. When visiting clients in their own homes, I follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible. Familiar surroundings make a big difference, especially for cats and older pets who do best in their own environment. I handle everything from feeding and walks to grooming and cuddle time, so your home stays in order and your pet stays happy. Either way, you can count on updates and peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in experienced, caring hands.

Was very appreciative that Donna took Kodi at the last minute when her usual border wasn't available. She seems so pleasant. Kodi was fine. I will definitely use her again if necessary. I gave her a cash tip which I always do so that they can get full benefit of it.

I can’t even begin to think Jaliah for what she has done for me! She was available last minute, my phone broke on my trip & I had no way of getting in contact with her but I wasn’t worried about my dogs one bit! My plane was delayed and still didn’t have a way to communicate with her but I still wasn't worried! She was amazing despite everything that was happening and my dogs were exhausting leaving her house and it feels like none of our training was lost either! I truly appreciate it Jaliah; thank you so much!

Christianna is absolutely wonderful and has been an incredible dog sitter for us over the years. She’s extremely flexible, easy to work with, and clearly cares deeply about the dogs she watches. Our dogs are always so well taken care of with her, and she even celebrated their birthdays while they were staying with her, which meant so much to us. I also accidentally had the wrong dates for our booking, and she went out of her way to accommodate us and take them earlier than planned. We feel very lucky to have found her and trust her completely with our dogs. We would highly recommend! 🐾

I could not be happier! My Luna is such a nervous dog. But Jennifer made her feel at home. She responded to my messages quickly, and set my mind at ease. Jennifer really treats your pet as part of your family! I recommend her 100%. Looking forward to Luna's next visit in November! Thanks so much for taking care of my baby!
