“Sara was great to work with! She is very timely, took care of our kitties like they were her own, and checked in with pictures and updates. Our normally shy kitties came out to see her so that tells me only great things! We also felt that our home was safe and treated with care too. I highly recommend her and we will be using her again for future trips. Thank you so much!”

“Lindsey is the best! Our 2 cats enjoyed playing with her and even ran to greet her at the door each time she visited. She's super communicative and friendly-- definitely recommend her services!”

About: I've had a dog ever since I was 4 years old. I also used to own cats! I'm still working with and training my current 3 year old golden. I love dogs, cats, and pretty much every critter under the sun. I do my best to maintain patience and be a good human to my little guy, and every pet I meet in my day to day life. I have experience with elder dogs, elder cats and puppies and kittens. I also have experience with reactive and sensitive pets! I have a lot of free time! I work mainly part time and I would love to use some of my extra time to pop in and help out with your fur family. I will always defer to instructions left by the owner, I know nobody knows a dog better than its owner and I will make your comfort and your dogs safety an absolute priority of mine as long as I am in your home taking care of your pet.
“I could set my clock with Jenn’s timeliness. Always there for the entire agreed upon time, and she kept our Oscar fed, brushed and loved whilst we were gone. Thank you for being such a professional.”

About: I adopted my Daisy when she was a year old. The past few years she has been ill and I have cared for her with patience and love. My sweet Daisy has crossed the rainbow bridge. I want to help care for other people’s precious furry family members. I am available between 6-7AM during the week and in the evenings after 6pm. I am available on the weekends from morning until evening anytime. I will be happy to come to your home to care for your pet. Walks and playtime are important and will give your furry friend lots of attention.
“Valerie was great and very reliable. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation because I knew my cat was being well cared for. I would absolutely use Valerie again in the future.”

“Lauren took great care of our two kitties! She was really good at getting the shy one to come out and play and have her picture taken. Lauren also helped out with some unexpected deliveries. Thanks so much!”

About: I have taken care of pets for over 25 years. I have personally owned pets and I know what it takes to care for them. I am currently retired. I have free time on my schedule to care for your pet(s). I am also flexible with my schedule, if needed. I have a fully fenced in yard, with a nice grass area. My house is big enough for your pet to have space to roam around and play.
“Jeanne is very kind and organized. She makes your pets' care a priority, and my 2 cats love her. I would encourage you to book her, if you need someone with accountability and animal knowledge.”

“Andrew was fantastic keeping our cat, Zelda, for three nights!! He was incredibly responsive, always provided videos and images of her, and made us laugh with a few jokes too :) Our cat doesn’t take too well to men or new places but she seemed very affectionate with Andrew which is a testament to how great he was with her! We’ll definitely be requesting his services in the future.”

About: Hello! Shamel here! Thank you for taking the time in allowing me to introduce you and your pet to a home you can trust. Whenever my family, friends or neighbors would leave town, our home was always their first choice. All the pups that stay with me are welcomed to our home as family and they all receive the best care from us. I have grown up loving and taking care of dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes. While we don't have a fenced-in yard, we live in a private home on a dead-end street, which gives the pups the opportunity to be walked in a quiet and safe neighborhood. We have two levels your pups can board in; each level has only five steps going up or five steps going down. If you have a mini breed or older fur baby, their safety and knees will be at ease. Our beautiful landscaping and wonderful friendly neighbors will be one of the highlights for your pup's staycation. I truly love doing this so much! I enjoy long walks, feeding, playing, and cuddling with all pups. During their stay, the dogs are never left unattended. We are 100% committed to ensuring each pup has us close-by. Our open floor plan allows us to keep a close eye on everyone. Our lower level allows your pups stay to be as private as needed. We regularly go to the park and walk around our neighborhood. If you have any questions or want to meet and greet, please reach out. We ensure 24/7 service and care for your pets. We can guarantee the best stay, where you can trust we will provide the most love for your pets! We offer a full indoor open floor plan to ensure safety at all times during boarding. We have plenty of open back space where we ensure the pups will be supervised at all times so they can enjoy a playful stay. I have plenty of time set aside daily to play with your furry family member. My schedule is open full day, 7days a week. You will have no worries booking with me and in returning back as a loyal client. I am here at your service I have an open back play area and we live in a beautiful landscaped community. Your pet will enjoy their stay while you can be at ease during your time away. Feel free to bring your pets crate and supplies and we will take care of the rest :)

My expertise extends beyond canines to include horse training and ownership, as well as caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets and fish giving me a uniquely broad perspective on pet care. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience across such a diverse range of species. Training puppies has honed my ability to foster trust, teach essential behaviors, and create lasting bonds using positive, patient methods. Caring for elder dogs has deepened my understanding of their unique needs, from mobility support to tailored nutrition, ensuring their golden years are comfortable and dignified. My work with horses has refined my skills in handling large animals, mastering their training with a calm, confident approach that translates to all species. Meanwhile, my care for smaller companions like rabbits, guinea pigs, and parakeets showcases my attention to detail, from crafting enriching environments to monitoring their delicate health needs.

“Angela provided a safe, comfortable and caring home away from home for Frank. She communicated regularly and was responsive to any questions. Could not have asked for more.”


“They took such great care of our kitty during the holiday as well as our home! They had such great communication, quick responses and made us feel super comfortable throughout the whole process. We are totally booking them again and recommend them to anyone in our area. Thanks for everything!”

“During the most demanding time, Thanksgiving weekend, she and her boyfriend Tim took care of my cat Mani so well. I saw she was having fun time to play with him and never forgot his treats as I requested. Thank you for taking care of him so well.”

“Natalie was just fantastic! She came over for a meet and greet and my dogs instantly loved her. From the moment she met them I could tell she was a dog person and animal lover. Coordinating a drop in with Natalie was super easy. I really appreciate she was able to take my dogs for a walk with only a few days notice. You can't go wrong with Natalie!”

Angela was so great and accommodating! This was the first time we used a cat sitter and we were a little hesitant at first. Angela took the time to come and meet Hank prior to taking care of him. We also needed to do a last minute change due to a snow storm and she was great. Our cat Hank was so happy when we picked him up and almost didn’t want to leave. Thank you Angela for taking care of Hank!
