“We absolutely love Chelsea & Derek. We have been using them for over a year now and am so happy to have found them. I would highly recommend their services.”


“Valerie was fantastic! We contacted her on short notice for day care for our pups while we were in town for the eclipse! She instantly made my pups feel welcome and comfortable in her home and took great care of them while we were out for a day of festivities. She sent lots of pictures, was extremely communicative, and was very accommodating/flexible with modifying drop off and pick up times at the last minute!”


“Jennifer is truly the best! She took such amazing care of our pup Suki. W honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the moment they met, it was clear she has a special way with dogs. Her updates were thoughtful, detailed, and full of love, which gave us so much peace of mind. Jennifer is a true dog whisperer and we’re so grateful to have found her! Highly, highly recommend. 🐾💛”


“Toktam was a loving, sensitive angel when it came to the way she took care of our little Puerto Rican rescue pup Maisie. Maisie is quite wary of new people, but to my delight and surprise, the second day we dropped her off Maisie smiled a doggie smile usually reserved for only three family members (me, my daughter and my husband) and happily rushed to Toktam's front yard gate to see her! Wow! That was a first. I have had really good experiences with Rover but this one was the absolute best because even though I am a worry wart and very protective of our sensitive, formerly traumatized little street dog Maisie, once I met Toktam, I was immediately comfortable, confident and relieved that she would be in the best of hands for her four days of daycare. Thank you Toktam!”


“Rebecca is amazing! I have a 5 month old puppy and an over 13 year old border collie and they were both very happy. I loved the pictures and updates that she sent.”


About: I've grown up with dogs since I was a kid. Currently, I have a dog that I got from a rescue over 7 years ago and he is my baby. You can trust me to take care of your dog like they are my own. I am caring and trustworthy. I have watched friends and family members pets before and looking to help out others! I have mostly open availability over the summer until mid August! I have availability mornings, days, and nights. I'm also available on weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced in yard and a dog that loves to meet new friends! I have extra crates and toys if needed. I can follow your dog's schedule and spend time with them to make them feel comfortable.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs, since I was a kid. I understand they are your children. I am comfortable giving oral meds, comfortable learning other routes of medication administration if needed. Currently will only board cats from the same home or young puppies (message for more details) at a time due to other animals in the house. Your fur baby will have their very Owen room with a gate door that is about 6ft tall to keep them safe and comfortable when I am not watching them or letting them out for play time. I will follow your set schedule for feedings and play time. If I am boarding an animal they are my soul focus till pick up time. I offer daily or every other day pictures/video updates of your pet, my phone is always on so you can always reach me about any concerns. I have one cat and two dogs in the house. They will remain separated from your animal at all times for safety and comfort of your beloved pet. All animals in the house are fully vaccinated including kennel cough. I will not accept boarding of unvaccinated cats & dogs for safety.

About: Animals have populated my life since childhood where I grew up with chickens, horses, pigs, cows, cats and dogs to adulthood with my own two cats and dog. I have baby/pet/house sat for countless families through word of mouth and professional organizations. My passion is fostering kittens through the SPCA, as well as pregnant/nursing mamas, puppies and dogs. I have experience administering medications, including insulin for diabetic cats. My animal family and I would love to give you peace of mind by caring for your pets when you need extra support. I am currently a homemaker, so your pets would be supervised for their entire stay and have lots of opportunities for walks, playtime and potty breaks. We own our home with a large fenced-in yard on a quiet street so your pet will have ample time outdoors to play and go for walks. My own dog LOVES every dog he has ever met and will be an excellent playmate. Our cats can be sequestered upstairs if your dog is not feline-friendly and my foster kittens/cats have their own separate space to keep everyone safe. I am comfortable with crates as well if your dog enjoys their own den.

About: Hi, I’m Grace! I love animals and have years of experience caring for pets. I treat every pet like my own, giving them lots of love and attention. You can count on me to keep your fur babies happy and safe while you’re away! Pet care is truly a part of my everyday life. Since I work from home, I’m available throughout the day to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. My routine is centered around making sure they are happy and healthy. We start the day with a morning walk, if you prefer that, where they can get plenty of exercise. Throughout the day, I ensure they have a mix of playtime, feeding, and rest, always keeping an eye on their well-being. I am home 90% of the time besides when I leave to go to the gym, not leaving more than an hour or two tops! In addition to outdoor adventures, my home offers a spacious, backyard where pets can run and play safely. I believe in creating a comfortable and engaging environment, so your pets will feel like they are part of the family. Whether it's a quick visit, daily check-ins, or overnight stays, I am dedicated to providing a loving and secure experience for your furry friends. I start my day early, around 6 AM, to let the pets out and ensure they get a good start to their day. I stay up until around 10 PM, making sure they are comfortable and settled in for the night. You can rest assured that with me, your pets are in caring and capable hands, enjoying a routine filled with love, activity, and safety.

“Sarah was very welcoming and understanding with my fur girl’s initial anxiousness in an unfamiliar environment. She offered much puppy love and reassurance that everything is okay....by mid-morning her charge finally settled down and laid near her towel.”


About: Hi there! I’m Erin — a full-time teacher during the school year and a full-time dog lover year round. During the summer, I have lots of extra time and flexibility to take your pups on long walks or stop by for drop-in visits when you need a hand. I’ve lived with and cared for dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’m calm, friendly, and always take the time to get to know each dog’s unique personality and comfort level. Whether your pup is high-energy or a little more shy, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Looking forward to meeting you and your best friend! For the months of July and August I am completely free 7 days a week all day long. During the school year, I work as a teacher so I am at work from around 7:30-3:30. However, my evenings and weekends remain completely free. I have a fenced in yard and 2 happy pups to keep your furry friend company! Dogs are allowed on the furniture and I am happy to let them either roam free downstairs or be put in a kennel when I am not home. I have a gate that keeps my dog from going upstairs when I’m not home, so that can be closed at any time during the day too. Let me know what you prefer and we will make it work in order to let your pet be as comfortable as possible!

About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds, mostly dogs. I am comfortable with messes, bathing, feeding, walking, and medical needs, ranging from small dogs to large dogs. This is my hobby and passion. Caring for animals (dogs) is my greatest joy. We are free to board on weekends or during the week. Please feel free to contact and we can discuss further arrangements. Thank you so much we look forward to hearing from you. Our family pets, are well cared for. They are all up to date with shots, they all have been given flea and tick medicine for health and safety purposes. They get fresh meals and treats, walks, baths, playtime inside and outside, along with rest time.

About: Transporting pets across the country has shown me how to properly tend and care for animals. Having owned and trained two dogs over the years, has also proven to show the nitty gritty details that you just do not receive when only working with them at a job. I hope in choosing me to take care of your precious pets, that not only will I prove to be the most calming and caring person that will put your pets at ease, but also one who can put you at ease with the trust that your pet is in good hands. I work at a pet store part-time for the local owner, Shaun, for the Lucky Dog Co. I am never there for greater than a 5 hour shift. I have multiple sized cages ranging from extra small, to large. I do not have a customized crate, however the largest size I offer is a 700 series sized crate. These will only be used when I am not home. Your pet will have a fenced in property. There will always be clean water to drink from. I will feed them depending on your preferences for feeding. Otherwise, once in the morning and once in the evening. I look forward to taking care of your pets. Thank-you for choosing me!


“Nancy was amazing! Our dog enjoyed her time playing and hanging out. Despite my being a class A jerk and arriving far past our agreed upon time for pickup after getting caught in a storm, they were incredibly patient and understanding. We were very happy with our interaction and overall experience and would absolutely come back (if they'd take us! ?).”


About: I have been dog sitting in my home for years. Mostly family and also friends. I treat them as family. Lots of love and care. I currently have time to board your pups during the week and on weekends or walk them after 3:30 during week. I could do weekend walks too in the morning. I have a nice home in the perfect neighborhood to walk dogs in. I do not currently have a dog I welcome dogs into home they are allowed on the furniture and in my bed. I filter my water which I would also give to your dog. You’re dogs will pampered and loved.

About: I am a mom of 2 little humans and a dog mommy of 2(now) senior pups and a military spouse. I have grown up with dogs all of my life! I currently have two dogs of my own, that we have had since they were 8 weeks old and they are now going on 9 years old. I pet sit for friends and neighbors regularly. My shiba Inu is diagnosed with glaucoma so I am capable and have been trained to give medications and eye drops. I am prepared to care for higher needs animals who may need a little extra love. My kids and I LOVE dogs and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with them. I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your dogs at home while going on a vacation or a trip back home to visit family when you’re unable to bring them. I strive to help other families feel comfortable having to leave them and lessen that anxiety while they get that much needed trip. I will care and love on your animals as they are my own. I have spent time fostering as well and have been around a diverse group of dogs. My children are both now in school and I couldn’t imagine spending my time any other way than loving on and caring for pets. My dream job once my husband retires out of the military is to own a doggy day care or start my own foster agency. I hope that you can trust me with your furbabies as this is something I’m truly passionate about. I am happy to accommodate any needs your babies will have. I am comfortable with all breeds! I can't wait to meet your babies! I am Free from 9:35 am-3pm and again from 4-10. I may be able to make special arrangements and rearrange my schedule depending on your needs. I myself, take my dogs for daily walks and have a large back yard with a fenced in yard and kids who love the interaction with fur babies! I attempt to include my dogs in the majority of activities and make my schedule around them! My dogs love going for car rides, walks, fetch, swimming in ponds, lakes and rivers. They love our camping and beach trips as well. I will give your dogs my undivided attention while I am with them. I will love and care for them as my own! Who wouldn’t want to make a dog feel loved and happy?! I will give them all of the pets and love in the world.I will play fetch, tug o war, feed them, walk them, cuddle, snuggle. All with permission from the owner, of course. Do they have a special diet restriction? I can help with that!

They were just as loved as they were with me. She was detailed oriented, caring, loving. She did exactly as asked and more.
