“Alisha has been my regular sitter for about 2 months now & I feel very lucky to have found her! My dog, Cooper, is treated like part of the family & is always worn out when he gets home. I feel confident that he is safe & I still get consistent updates on what they’re up to all day. She is one of the best you could find!”


“We love Wendy. My only regret is that I didn't find her sooner. We've moved too far away now, but she was so great to help us with last minute doggy daycare when we had a day of house showings before our move. We will miss her. She pampers the pets that stay with her. It's obvious that they become part of her extended family. You will not regret booking Wendy, I promise.”



“Anthony was great watching my dog. Very responsible and caring. I can tell Finnegan got plenty of play time by the photos and videos. Would not think twice about letting Finnegan stay there again. Awesome!”



“Booked doggy daycare for the day and as always Cassandra was great! My husband and I have peace of mind while we are away because we know our puppy is in good hands. Cassandra sends updates/pictures and stays in communication. Best part is that our puppy loves her and her family!”

“First time using this service and couldn’t be happier!! They are so responsive and kind! The reviews and ratings for them do not lie! Our pup was well taken care of with plenty of fresh air and love! They kept us up to date with photos and videos throughout the day! We appreciate you and thank you endlessly!”


“I couldn’t ask for a better sitter for Zoe! Heather and her kids treat Zoe like their own, always showering her with love and care. I appreciate the regular picture updates and great communication—it gives me so much peace of mind knowing Zoe is in such good hands. Highly recommend! Zoe feels right at home!”



“They are always so nice and very flexible with pick up times as we were paying tourist in Georgia. Thank you so very much for taking such wonderful care of both my babies/dogs as always!”


“My puppy is always excited to stay with Kelsey”


About: I have years of experience with animals, I have a lovely fences backyard and a nearby park to walk the dogs. Plenty of space to sleep freely in the house or if needs crated, I have. For dogs they would be walked daily as I am close to a nice park with a walking path. They will have plenty of time to play outside. For now I am home all day so I will be with pets constantly. For dogs I have a nice fenced yard to play in. For cats they are kept separately in the house from other animals. I do have one cat and one dog in the home.

“I had contacted Tom and Christine to take in my dogs sort of at the last minute. They were very accommodating and ready to accept them. Unfortunately I had gotten them confused with another provider and ended up bringing them to the second provider. After discussing this with them, they were very understanding and refunded their fee. It was very kind of them to initially accept my dogs and also to work with me after my embarrassing mistake. I would definitely recommend them for other pet owners in their area though!”


“Sasha was great, very caring her love for animals is obviously! THANK YOU SASHA”


About: My family and I have had 2 previous dogs and currently have a cat! We’ve had large dogs to small, so I’m open to all different kinds of animals. I’m not timid of animals at all! I’m currently completely free for the summer. At the end of summer I will be entering a nursing program, I go to the gym daily but that will be depending on the job! Dogs and cats will be monitored closely in my home. I have a large yard and an underground fence. Or I could use a leash to take them out!

About: I have had all kinds of pets from a young age, have a degree in veterinary technology, and have had several animal care jobs. Safety and communication are always my priorities! I am available full time for pet boarding! I take an occasional dog walking appointment but otherwise I am home 24/7. I have 2 years now of full time pet boarding experience! I have a half acre of fenced in area, and can separate my top and bottom floor of my home if your pet needs their own space! Outside play time is always supervised to ensure safety.

About: I'm passionate when it comes to top quality care of all animals. I live, eat, and breathe pet care/vet med. I'm a loving, kind experienced veterinary assistant with experience in specialty vet med. I have 2 medium well trained dogs that I share custody of, so I can accomodate more needy puppers or kitties if needed (they can go to their dads for sittings) I also have 3 cats. My first job as a kid in high-school was helping the local groomer wash dogs. I have pet sat, house sat, walked dogs, fed, bathed, clipped nails, admin'ed meds, etc. for over 20 years at this point. Because I have a background in vet med, I feel comfortable with pets who have some mild to moderate special needs. I work full time remotely, so I am available to sit in my home or at yours with short notice. I also have a very flexible schedule which allows for frequent potty/ walk about breaks. I have a spare room for pets overnight in my home. During the day they're allowed to freely roam the house and we will take occasional strolls to park, or on the trail, based on behavior and comfort level of all parties.

“I truly can't recommend her high enough. She was absolutely wonderful. Friendly, professional, communicative.... She's a wonderful dog trainer and we spent a little time helping me learn a couple of things. I really appreciated that. She was exactly what River and I needed.”


About: I was raised in a farm family and within my father's exotic bird business. I've been taking care of a variety of types of animals since I was a child. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their pets. I have experience working as a dog daycare and kennel employee. I have two dogs of my own and enjoy being an animal caregiver. I have experience rendering first aid. I know what it is to want peace of mind while away from my own pets and I enjoy providing that for other pet people. I love that working with animals teaches me about what it is to be human. I have a flexible schedule to focus on caring for your animal family member. I have plenty of time and attention to devote to spending time with pets. I will treat your service with the utmost professionalism and render the same care and concern to your pets I give to looking after the needs of my own.

About: Worked at petsmart for 2 years in college in pet care. Learned to care for cats, dogs, reptiles and horses at a young age. Have owned cats, dogs and reptiles. Knowledge of medications and how to administer. I work from home and my hours are flexible, am able to provide pet care that is round the clock, Monday through Friday and on weekends. For drop ins on weekdays, I can come in the morning or later evening. Large yard, locks on all doors and windows. Would keep animals separate from my own animals if at my house. Never leave animals unsupervised in the home

“We appreciate Emily's attentiveness to our senior yorkie. Very nice getting pictures of our boy resting comfortably in her home for doggy day care.”


About: I have had pets all of my life. I love animals. I currently have one dog and two cats but can show your furbaby all of the love and care that you would when you're away. I've had to have sitters for my pets when I've been out of town, and finding good reliable care is challenging and expensive. I can provide updates throughout your vacation in order to keep your mind at ease. I am available for drop-in dog sitting in your home as well as overnight boarding in mine. A meet and greet is required to make sure the dogs get along. Please provide all detailed information about your pet prior to making arrangements such as medications, likes and dislikes and personality to make their stay much more enjoyable. I have experience with disabled/blind animals as well, thanks! I also love cats and am available to check in on your beloved feline! I work from home so I am in my home 95% of the time to give your pet love and attention and take them for walks. I do not have a fenced yard but I don’t let them out without a leash and I don’t leave them in the yard alone, ever.

About: Hi! I have been an animal lover and owner all my life. Growing up, I rode horses and my family had numerous dogs (puppies), cats (kittens), goats, hamsters, amphibians and birds! As an adult, I lived on a farm for 11 years and helped with a herd of goats, rabbits and mules. I am entertained by chickens and have raised multiple flocks of them and ducks too. I've also had great opportunity to travel doing house and pet sitting experiences along the way. I am an active person and I enjoy ensuring animals have the proper space and time to exercise in all seasons. It is my priority to treat animals with respect and kindness, allowing trust to develop. It is so interesting to make new fur-friends and learn each of their individual personalities. I am currently working only a small amount of hours each week, so my availability is quite open. I also have the flexibility to come to your house. I currently live with my parents and their two super friendly Boston terriers. We have a fenced yard and plenty of space for nice walks. If I am in your home, I am very adaptable and will follow your instructions for what is best for your pets.

Melanie S.
“Melanie is one of the few people I completely trust with my home and fur babies. We have 3 dogs and 2 cats. On top of that the pets trust her as well, even my husbands blue heeler that only likes him trusts Melanie. She has housesat/pet sat for us countless times. Incredibly responsible, kind, good natured and caring. When she is not available we usually end up needing to get 2 people to take her place.”
