“Dorothy was great to work with! She was very communicative with her visits, and our cat was happy to see her when she stopped by. We came to a well taken care of home and kitty 😊 Would recommend and book with her again!”

“This was our first time having Jacob watch our dogs. I would highly recommend him. Communication is A+. Our older dog can be a bit bossy and he handled her just fine.”

About: I love dogs of all shapes and sizes! I had two labs growing up and another lab in my early twenties who I still grieve for today. I currently have no dogs of my own so I pour all my love into my friend’s dogs. The dog I had my twenties had behavioral issues and required patience and understanding in a short amount of time he went from being withdrawn and antisocial to a complete love bug! I’m unemployed but I take care of my disabled mom. Because of this I have a very flexible schedule. I have always loved dogs and miss having one of my own. I’m always excited to spend time with my friend’s dogs. I don’t plan on boarding any dogs at my own home. With how my mom’s health is now it wouldn’t be a good idea to do so.

“Katrina was great! She came to meet Oliver before we left and was very communicative while we were away. We would love to use her again in the future!”

About: As a proud dog mom of three, I know firsthand that dogs are family! I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, from energetic pups to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. My own dogs include a Labrador mix, a Pitbull rescue, and a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix, so I’m very familiar with different energy levels, temperaments, and exercise needs. I understand the importance of safe walks, consistency, positive reinforcement, and paying attention to each dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog loves a brisk, adventurous walk or prefers a slower stroll with plenty of sniffing, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every dog with the same love and respect I give my own. I also understand how important communication is, so you can expect updates and photos while your furry family member is in my care! As a proud dog mom of three, caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday life! I understand the importance of regular exercise, consistency, and giving dogs the attention they deserve. I enjoy being outdoors, staying active, and making sure every dog gets the physical activity and mental stimulation they need. Dog walking fits naturally into my lifestyle, and I love the opportunity to help other pet parents keep their furry family members happy, healthy, and well cared for! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. As an experienced dog owner, I understand that every dog has a unique personality, comfort level, and routine. When caring for your dog, I follow your instructions closely, use secure leashes and harnesses, and stay attentive to my surroundings during walks. I’m mindful of weather conditions, traffic, other animals, and each dog’s individual physical abilities.

About: I've had pets all through late childhood and into adulthood. I currently live in an apartment that makes owning pets difficult, but I love nothing more than to snuggle up on the couch with a fluffy friend and a book. I've been able to get my "puppy fix" by petsitting for friends and family. I'm the one they call when they'll be out of town or working late to take care of their fluffy family member. I'm looking for more dogs and cats to add to my life long friend list. I currently work full time, 1 evening a week. I don't have any pets of my own to take care of, so I'm pretty flexible when it comes to taking care of others' pets. I love taking dogs for walks or hikes. I'm available to come and visit a pet to give companionship, meals, potty breaks, etc. I have experience with puppies as well as senior pets.

About: I've been around dogs since I've had a working memory. From friend's, family's, neighbor's to my own I've watched and cared for many different dogs of many different sizes and needs. Dogs are a joy and a privilege to care for and deserve the best. I've worked with pups to pops and enjoy both :) I currently work part time in the mornings. Whether your pet/s need to be fed/let out, walked or just needs company I know I'll find time to give them the attention and care they deserve. If I'm pet sitting, I'm able to stay in you're home and give your pets all the attention they could dream of. Chill, lazy dog? Nothing like relaxing outside or watching TV getting pets and cuddles. Adventurous hounds? Lots of walks and play. I tailor the pet care your fur babies need to fit their lives and personalities. I work 1:1 with pet families so that your pets get all of my attention.

“Roxy loved Haley and Alex. They took time to play with her and give her lots of exercise. They were prompt, sent pics, and communicated frequently. Definitely recommend.”

“Thank you so much Christopher. I can totally picture the excitement they must of had when they saw you. They're good boys with a lot of love and energy. I'm glad they could share some with you. They'll be happy to see you again in the future. Have a great weekend.”

About: I have cared for all kinds of pets at all ages… Will accept special circumstances, I have been there with my own pet a time or two. my young son is at school until mid afternoon every day so I have extra time to help you and care for your pet.

I promise to care for your pet as I do my own..extra praise, extra scratches, extra cuddles, extra nicknames & definitely more conversation.

“Miranda was fantastic. She stopped to meet Zelda before the scheduled walks. She kept me updated and everything went perfectly. Zelda feels comfortable with her already and they get along great. Highly recommended!”

About: I've been watching dogs for family and family friends for 15 years now, before I could drive myself. I've watched many dogs with special raw Diets, and dogs that have needed insulin shots. I have never encountered a scenario I couldn't handle. I'm working full-time, but have great hours, and would spend most of my time with the animals. I'm around and available all weekends. My wife and I spend most of our time home on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs of my own. All of which are really friendly. We often have family member's pets over to visit. I also stay at others homes, as that is normally where animals are most familiar and feel the most safe!

About: I’ve cared for my own dog for 11 years and have also dog sat for others multiple times, including overnight stays in their homes. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, bathroom breaks, and following each dog’s individual routine. I’m responsible, dependable, and understand the importance of treating both your pet and your home with care and respect. I’m also happy to provide pictures and updates throughout the stay so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the week. I’m available for overnight stays, including weekdays and weekends, and can work around each pet’s normal feeding, walking, and bathroom routine.

When staying in your home, I’ll carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and household rules. I’ll keep your home clean and secure, give your pets plenty of attention, and provide regular pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

“Kelsey watched our cat for a week while we were out of town. She was always on time, took great photos and took excellent care of “our boy.” An issue came up with our garage door opening on its own, and Kelsey quickly got in touch with us and manually closed the door. And she made sure our house was secure. She made us feel completely secure knowing our house and our cat were being taken care of. We would definitely use Kelsey’s services again.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds — playful pups, mellow seniors, and everything in between. My experience started with helping my sister care for her dogs, and over the years, I’ve walked, fed, and looked after dogs for friends, neighbors, and family. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. I have a quiet home and a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely explore, relax, and enjoy the fresh air. With me, your dog will be loved, understood, and truly cared for — just like they deserve. I mostly work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pup throughout the day. I’m available for daytime check-ins, boarding, and doggy stays at my place. I can also pick up and drop off your dog if needed — making things easier for you. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a cozy place to stay while you’re away, I’m here and happy to help. I offer a calm and loving environment with a fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and relax. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and routine, whether they need space or lots of cuddles. I can easily crate your dog if that’s part of their routine. My goal is always to make your dog feel secure, understood, and cared for — just like they would at home.
