“Sabrina was absolutely wonderful and a perfect fit for my dog! She provided updates through pictures and videos of my dog and made me feel comfortable with the fact that I was away from my pup. She also took her for walks throughout the day, which I know my dog Eleanor just loved.”
“Todd & Maureen personalize our Raven’s care and we appreciate that. They love dogs and it shows. We feel completely confident leaving our dog, Raven, with them - even for 8 nights like we just did. Highly recommended.”
“This is the absolute best thing I could've stumbled upon for my little dog-child Rupert! He absolutely LOVES it there, gets to play with new friends, goes for walks, and even sleeps in the bed! I worry that one time he is not going to want to come home with me! Thank you Ed for keeping him so happy, and making me feel better about leaving him behind some days!!!”
“Emily was absolutely amazing with my puppy! She is only four months old (needs extra attention as most do!), is on a medication, and this was my first time having to leave her with someone else to care for her. When I got there, Emily already had a space set up for my puppy with a large play space and puppy pee pads (just in case haha). Emily sent me pictures and updates every day so that I could see how well she was doing. It made me happy to see her so happy. Then on my way home, I had flight delays, and Emily and her husband were MORE than accommodating to help me pick up my puppy from them quite late in the evening. I can’t recommend Emily enough. I will definitely look to her first when needing a sitter in the future.”
“If you are looking for someone to take care of ur little baby just like the way you do at home, Mariah and Max are the ones!! They took such excellent care of Jorge while we went on vacation and Jorge had an absolute awesome time with their dog tucker! They also did an awesome job sending us pictures and updates!! You know that they had a good time when they are sad leaving the sitters and that was def Jorge! Will def visit again!”
“Kumar took such good care of my dog! He was gentle, kind, fed him with very specific instructions and made my dog feel at home in his apartment. He sent photos and updates daily. I would highly recommend him as a dog sitter!”
“Claire did great with Sansa. She was accommodating for us, took great care of our dog, and sent us updates and pictures as well! Sansa came home and acted just like normal, so I knew she was perfectly comfortable and that says a lot for me. Would use Claire again for sure!”
About: I’m excited to offer a truly special experience that brings peace of mind to you, your family, and your dog. I'm opening my home, along with my family, to create a warm, loving, and enriching environment where your dog can feel safe, happy, and cared for. With daily two-mile nature walks, plenty of opportunities for enrichment and play, and the gentle companionship of children who are encouraged to respect your dog’s space and personality, your pup will be part of a home that feels like a second family. Whether your dog prefers to snuggle up in the heart of the home or relax in a quieter, separate room, there’s space for them to feel completely at ease. I can’t wait to welcome your dog into our home and hearts. I have a flexible, part-time schedule that allows myself to create a personalized boarding experience for your dog with lots of attention and care. With my own two friendly Golden Retrievers and a home full of love and adventure, your pup will feel right at home. Please note that while I am happy to accommodate a variety of schedules, I do not offer pick-up or drop-off on Friday evenings or Saturdays. For any Friday arrivals or departures, I kindly ask that they be completed by 4 PM. I'm committed to providing a calm, comfortable, and enriching environment for every dog I welcome, and I look forward to getting to know yours! I offer limited dog boarding to ensure each dog receives personalized attention and care. Your pup will join my two friendly dogs and my family, including children who are respectful and mindful of every pet's comfort. Your dog will be welcomed into my home as part of the family, with the freedom to lounge on the couch or retreat to a quiet, separate room if they prefer their own space. If you’d like your dog crated overnight, I'm happy to accommodate that as well. While I have a spacious property, all dogs will remain leashed for safety. This is short term while long term fencing is installed. I make sure every pup enjoys daily two-mile walks, tailored to their ability and with input from you. My home is focused on intentional care, meaningful playtime, and a peaceful, loving environment where your dog can feel safe and happy.
“Christina watched my two furry kids overnight. She loved on them during their stay and sent pictures of them. I would recommend Christina to others and not hesitate using her services again.”
About: From puppies and kittens. Senior dogs and cats and everything in between I have experience with. Uhm basically whatever their routine is just let me know and I can accommodate. Any special request just ask me and most likely will accommodate. I can give real time updates as needed just let me know. I treat someone's pet as my own. Please let me know your pets preferences. Thank you. Again pet care would fit into my routine via way of getting to know and knowing your pets routine. This will be my main focus. I take into consideration the pets needs and basically focus on that in an environment. Basically I just let them rest or do what it is they like to do daily.
About: Hi! Right now I currently dog sit for two dogs and I’ve had pets my whole life. I’ve had 4 dogs at one time with 2 cats. I love being around animals and have experience in watching dogs. I currently live in an apartment so I do not currently live with any animals. I have volunteered many times at the animals shelter by my home. I currently have a part time job so I can definitely fit watching pets into my schedule. I understand the need for care and am willing to try to fit your pet into my schedule I would provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for the pet. I would make sure the pet has water and food at all times. I would make sure the pet also takes all the medications if needed. Depending on the pets needs I would make sure there is time for exercise and play. For my home I would make sure the pet has a clean and safe environment. For the pet owners homes I would make sure to follow all instructions whether it’s feeding and medication instructions or behavioral techniques. I would make sure the animal is able to build trust and a good bond to make sure the pet is comfortable under my care.
About: I have a diploma in veterinary assisting, I’m very passionate about animal safety and all things to prolong animal living. I love spending quality time and forming genuine bonds with all animals. I’m currently working on everyday of the week but I am free anytime on Fridays and Saturdays. Enjoy your weekends no worries about the pets with me I will make sure I’m always following dietary needs and take the proper precautions when doing any activities with your loved pets. Anything that is told to me prior to caring for your animals will be main priority.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and apart from having my own, I’ve been lucky to have experience many others! From puppies to senior dogs who need medicine, I try to do as much as I can to make sure they’re comfortable! I have part time work and classes, so I’m very flexible in when I can walk or watch pets! If I know in advance, it’s pretty easy for me to move things around. I don’t have a dog in my current home, but I offer pretty constant attention to pets no matter what I’m doing. I also make sure to play enough to get them tired out for a good sleep!
“I had never used an online pet sitting service before. I was on a waiting list for two boarding kennels. Went out of town for the weekend and Cher was very accommodating. She seems like a genuine pet lover. She had two smaller dogs that my small Pomeranian got along with well. She sent update photos of Cody and responded quickly to update requests. I was totally satisfied with her services and would let her watch Cody again and will be utilizing her services again in the future. Cody’s temperament when back home was normal and not like the usual shyness after a traditional kennel. I know he got play time with other dogs and did not have fear/separation anxiety with Cher and her small dogs. Thank you Cher. I am totally satisfied with the experience.”

He has always made sure to put them on potty breaks when he was at my house. He makes sure that they are part of everything. For this reason I believe he would be a good petsitter.”

Rachel M.
“I can’t think of anyone more naturally gifted with animals than Rachel Meininger. From the time she was little, Rachel has had a deep love and connection with pets—especially dogs and cats. They are drawn to her, and she has an incredible way of instantly earning their trust and affection. When Rachel is home from college, our pets completely abandon us and become hers. They sleep in her bed, follow her everywhere, and soak up the extra love and attention she showers on them. She spoils them in the best possible way—with affection, playtime, and genuine care. Rachel is responsible, compassionate, and truly understands what it means to care for someone else's beloved pet. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, you won’t find anyone better.”
