“We can't recommend Julia highly enough! She is caring, considerate and responsive. Our rescue dog has enjoyed doggy day care and weekly walks with her. We appreciate the peace of mind we have leaving our sweet friend in Julia's care.”

“I love that I came across Jordan’s profile. She is the first person that truly understood my fur baby. She was very informative and she had a great spirit. I will be booking with her from here on out!”

“Shannon and her family were incredible with our pup. She came home happy and tired each day. We felt very comfortable leaving Lola with them and we got regular updates. Her kids and Lola became the best of friends! Thank you so much again for caring for her!”

We are open too watching any kind of dog as long as they are not aggressive !We can schedule a meet & greet before hand to make sure it’s a perfect match .Have any questions just ask !

“Nancy was Great!! This was our 1st time using Rover and we really didn’t know what to expect!! We had a meet and greet prior to booking and she made us feel totally at ease with leaving our Seeet Roscoe with her and her Family! She sent updates and pictures throughout his visit and he seemed to have a great time!! I will definitely use Nancy again when I am back in town and it’s really great to know that we have found someone who we can trust to love and take care of Roscoe just as we would ourselves!! Thanks again Nancy and Family!! It was a great experience for us as I believe it was for Roscoe as well!! ?❤️?”

About: Your sweeties are in caring hands 💛 ✅ Experience with pets of all ages & personalities. ✅ Work from home: Attentive to strict care plan. ✅ Happy to assist with training/manners 🐾. As a pet owner of 35 years and a life-long animal lover, I’ve cared for my own puppies, kittens, and elderly pets over the years. Their quirky personalities have brought nothing but joy to our home! I’ve also cared for exotic littles such as snakes, bearded dragons, hamsters, gerbils, chameleons, ferrets, parakeets, Sun Conure Parrots and farm animals (chickens, pigs, horses, “farm sitting”)! Don’t hesitate to ask if you need additional help. We have 2 dogs of our own: One loves to socialize and play with our guests, while the other usually searches for the sunniest window in the house, to nap until the next potty/treat break. Working from home allows me to be attentive to strict potty/medication and walk/play schedules (if your pet is in need of a regimented care plan). I offer drop-in play dates, walks, back-yard potty/play dates and feeding/litter changes, based upon your instruction. I’m also able to host your pets in my home, if you need a sitter. Before booking boarding services with new clients, I request a meet & greet, so that I can get to know everyone and have a clear understanding of your pet’s personality and needs 😁!

“Michelle was great! She was more than willing to accommodate last minute and very thorough throughout the day with how my dogs were doing. She has a perfect back room that is calm and quiet for pups!”
“I highly recommend booking doggy daycare with Jesseeka! Rockett and Wrigley fit right in with Coco and Benji. Thanks for a great week and keeping the pups active while I worked!”

About: Got a cavalier when kids left 20 years ago and have been in love with and taken care of pups for family and friends ever since! I work part time as a sub at a local school lunchroom. Consequently, I have a good deal of time to do what I enjoy most, spending time with and caring for pups!! (and on occasion, cats!) I live in a lovely neighborhood with a nice balance of open space and paths for walks. My husband (also a dog lover) and I have a fenced yard and pup bowls and leashes and toys and even a small crate (from Harley) if your pup feels better taking a nap in it! (and he fits!)
About: Hi! My name is Lucrezia, and I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free home away from home for your pets. As a nursing student and experienced caregiver, I am attentive, responsible, and patient with every animal’s unique needs and personality. Your pet will receive plenty of love, playtime, walks, and one-on-one attention throughout their stay.

I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I make sure each pet receives personalized care and follows their normal routine as closely as possible. I am also available for pick-up and drop-off services for added convenience. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. I always supervise interactions, keep pets secure, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is receiving the best possible care while you’re away.
“What a find! April had such a gentle nature. She and her dogs quickly won over my clingy Princess. She had a great time and came home tired from all the fun. A great experience!”

About: I enjoy having dogs, and started using this website when I went out of town. Because of this, I know the high standard of care I expect from my sitter, and what you should expect too. I will take the time and care you would for your own dog. I'll give them snuggles, playtime, and lots of outside time depending on the crazy weather we have here of course. Myself and my doggy friends love to take walks, play tug-of-war, fetch and other games your dog enjoys or might enjoy. If your dog comes to our house we have a fully enclosed backyard. It is a great big yard enough to play fetch with a few dogs at the same time. Some just like to sun bathe and watch everyone else run around. Your dogs will have so much fun, and will be well loved while they are here. When my doggie friends come back for a visit the owners tell me the dogs are excited when they turn down my street. I have a Yorkie named Jack, and 3 mini Bernedoodles named Elenor, Dahlia, and Franklin. I am not taking unneutered or unspayed dogs at this time. I have lots of available hours to spend with your pets. My schedule is consistent usually, but fairly open. In the past, I was walking dogs. Not sure if I am going to start doing that or not. I have a fenced in yard and 4 dogs to keep your dog company. We can play in the yard or hang out in the house. I have lots of toys and balls.

I have a friendly dog that loves company and would help your dog settle in for a fun baby sitting date. Safe uncluttered clean environment pet friendly. Walking paths available for the dog to enjoy for a potty break. Back yard available, spacious two floor.

I would love to get more but I will start by taking care of yours! Thanks! I make my own work schedule so I can work around yours!

Jordan was great, despite Nala being at daycare for the first time! No issues and she was attentive to sending pics and text when we asked her about Nala’s wellbeing. Nala has some anxiety and I felt Jordan dealt with that well. Overall, I would rebook her again!
