About: As an active dog lover, I know how important exercise and routine are for a happy pet. I have extensive experience handling dogs of all breeds, whether they need high-energy walks, gentle neighborhood strolls, or scheduled feeding and play visits. I take pride in providing reliable, attentive care so you have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands. I work from home so I am always here :) I currently have two small dogs myself. I work from home so I have all day with your fur- babies! I have a flexible daily routine, allowing me to give pets frequent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of playtime throughout the day. Whether hosting dogs in my home or handling walks and drop-ins, I easily adapt to your pet’s specific feeding and exercise schedule I live in a house with a securely fenced yard that features a cute mini bridge, offering a safe and fun area for outdoor play.
“We had Claire watch our cat for 3 days and she did a great job making him feel comfortable and even gave him his own room. She sent pictures and let us know how he was doing. We will definitely use Claire again if we need care for Midnight in the future.”
“Really, really sweet person and I do believe Spencyr and his family are major dog lovers. The night back, our Aussie was completely wiped out - a really rare occurrence. Cannot thank him enough for the exercise and care that an Aussie puppy needs.”
“Claire was our best Rover experience yet! She was super friendly and confirmed pick up and drop off and even set up a play pool for our dogs to cool off in during August. I could tell they loved hanging with Claire and her two sweet pups--we weren't the only ones who went on vacation :) 10+++”
“As most dog lovers know, our puppies are our babies. Paige and her girls loved my dogs like we would. It is so comforting to know our babies were well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her and will be using her again. Multiple daily updates and pictures. Thank you”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat dogs like family. I’ve been a dog mom to my two pups for the past 4–5 years, so I understand how important it is to have someone patient, attentive, and trustworthy caring for your pet. I’m very hands-on, affectionate, and mindful of each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and cared for just like I would want for my own. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine since I have two dogs of my own. My days naturally include feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of attention and cuddles. I’m used to planning my schedule around my dogs, so adding another pet into that routine feels very natural to me. I have two small dogs of my own, so your pup will have some furry company during their stay. I make sure introductions are slow and supervised so everyone feels comfortable and safe. I follow each dog’s normal feeding, potty, walk, and sleep routine as closely as possible, and I can crate your dog if they are crate trained or if that’s part of their usual routine. I’m also happy to keep dogs separated for meals, breaks, or downtime when needed. My goal is to make your dog feel relaxed, safe, and at home while they’re with me.
“Julie was able to accommodate last minute plans when I needed boarding for my Chewie. She provided excellent care and shared lots of pictures throughout the stay! Chewie had a blast playing with her pups. I definitely recommend booking with her :)”
About: I provide loving, attentive care for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to wise seniors. I excel at creating calm, joyful routines, ensuring exercise, companionship, and safety. House training? Patiently handled when needed. Every pup gets personalized love, attention, and care as if they were my own. Unless your dog has a special diet, kibble and treats will be provided 🐶 (if needed). Pet care is central to my daily and weekly routine. I structure my time around animal care, including my own pets, making availability and consistency a priority. Pets in my care are treated like family. I provide in-home care in a peaceful space with consistent routines, attentive supervision, affection, and respect for each pet’s unique needs.
“Corina and her family were a Godsend. In the midst of a family emergency and really hard week, Corina was quick and easy to book with and sent loads of photos and videos of my pups. She has a large backyard for playing, was careful with them in the heat, and I could tell my dogs loved her. She let them be part of her family during their time together and that brought so much peace during a difficult time. I'd recommend her to anyone!”
“Angel was wonderful with Rainbow! From the moment we arrived, Rainbow felt right at home. We had complete peace of mind knowing she was in great hands. Angel took such loving care of her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Dianne was extremely knowledgeable about dogs and cats! She was very caring to my pets and was interested in every detail. A week before our trip our cat had to be put on an antibiotic and Dianne was comfortable giving the medicine and also was attentive to any health changes. My cat and dog had a great time at her house. She kept me updated with videos of the dog walking adventures and updates on my cat. Dianne is a treasure and I will always use her! I knew my pets were in the best care ever!”
“Belle was well taken care of for the week we we were away! Loved getting daily updates on how she was doing and seeing all the new friends she made! Thank you!”
“Alicia looked after and cared for my dog. She gave me daily updates of how my dog was doing and how she was interacting with her dogs. Would highly recommend Alicia to anybody if they need their dog boarded!”
“I’m really impressed with her when she was watching my dog. She made sure to send me pictures and updates consistently throughout the time she watched my dog, Ruby. She took my dog on plenty of walks and even to the dog park which was much needed due to my dog being very energetic.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets as well as pets belonging to family and friends. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving lots of love and attention. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I’m patient and attentive to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’ll treat your fur baby like they’re part of my own family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care! 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have plenty of time to give your pup the attention they deserve. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, trips to the dog park, playtime, feeding, and lots of love throughout their stay. I’ll also do my best to stick to your pup’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and right at home. I live in an apartment with access to a dog park, so your pup will have plenty of opportunities for outdoor time, exercise, and play. I also have two dogs of my own to keep your fur baby company. I have crates available if needed and can accommodate your pet’s normal routine and preferences. Safety and comfort are always my priority, and I’ll make sure your pup receives plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and love while staying with me.
“I can’t thank Moshera enough for the amazing care she gave my dogs, Donna and Norman, while I was away. She treated them like her own—keeping them happy, safe, and loved the entire time. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in such kind and capable hands. Highly recommend Moshera to anyone looking for a truly caring and reliable pet sitter!”

I can’t recommend Daniella enough! She was so quick to respond when we needed last minute care for our puppy! She was super welcoming and incredibly kind and patient with our puppy Rocky. She was very flexible and understanding as well! Daniella is our official go to for our pet sitting!! If I could give more stars I would!!
Stella had an amazing stay!! From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in great hands. Stella immediately made a new best friend, Millie. Loved they were able to play with each other throughout her stay! Rileigh and Jackson clearly adored Stella and made her feel comfortable and safe. They sent updates and photos, and Stella looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I’m very grateful and will absolutely book again!!
We absolutely love LaRae! This is our third time trusting her with Winston, and we truly couldn’t ask for a better sitter. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s with someone who genuinely cares for him and treats him like family. She always keeps us updated, and it’s clear Winston is happy and cared for! We are so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our sweet boy!
Booked with Danielle and did not regret it. This is the first time we have left our little fur baby with someone since he was born. Danielle took very good care of our boy and treated him lile part of the family. He was taken for walks and had play and cuddle time every day. The communication and daily photos with updates definately put our minds at ease and was instrumental in the two of us actually getting to enjoy a trip away without having to worry. She treated our little guy with the love and attention as if we were there with him and that was priceless. Knowing we can spend time away and our fur baby is loved and cherished while we are gone is everything when you want to try to enjoy your own time away. I can't speak any more highly of the services Danielle gave or the freedom she has given us to enjoy ourselves knowing our little guy is in good hands. Do not sleep on this girl! She embodies the love you would want your little one to be surrounded by. We are so grateful. A must hire!
Kenna was great! She was super responsive, sent regular photo updates, and had patience for our two very differently-temperamented cats. She also was very flexible with us with our schedule changes even though we were a last-minute booking. Great job, would recommend!
