“Maus came back a happy and healthy girl. Crystal worked with me on last minute date changes and made a difficult time so much easier for me. Very quick to respond and lots of pictures”

“Pamela took really good care of our dog. This is our first time using Rover. Pamela made it very pleasant experience. She was very responsive, sent us dog pictures and gave him all the belly rubs. She has a lot of experience with dog care. Moreover her own dogs are very friendly and my dog played with them throughout the visit. They are very gentle. Thank you once again, Pamela. We definitely going to let Sugar with you often now.”


“Sydney was the best possible sitter for our wild and crazy pup. Our dog can be quite the handful and her dog got along so well with him and it was a great chance for him to have a playmate and a fun weekend while we were away. I would never leave him in a kennel/ boarding facility again after the wonderful experience we had with Sydney. ❤️ I’d give her 10 stars if I could.”

“Elise was absolutely amazing! Our pup didn’t want to leave! Elisa had great communication and even cooked eggs for him when he wouldn’t eat. Our pup got along great with Lennie too, I got so many pics of them playing! I highly recommend Elise and we will definitely be using her services again!”


About: I have a lifelong love for animals and 15 years of experience caring for pets. I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior and compassionate care to every pet I meet. I grew up with animals and currently have a three-year-old dog whom I trained myself, making me confident in basic obedience training. I have hands-on experience with dogs, including basic training, socialization, and understanding canine body language. I’ve also cared for multiple cats and appreciate their independent yet affectionate nature. From playtime and snuggles to maintaining feeding routines and administering medication when needed, I strive to make every pet feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own—with kindness, respect, and plenty of love. Whether your pet needs active engagement, gentle companionship, or a structured routine, I’m here to provide the care they deserve. As a full-time graduate student in a virtual program, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive and consistent care for your pets. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or overnight boarding, I have plenty of time to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. I’m available for boarding both during the week and on weekends, making it easy to accommodate your travel or work schedule. With the ability to be home throughout the day, I can ensure your pet gets regular companionship, exercise, and care. Whether they need structured routines or just lots of cuddles, I’m here to keep them happy and comfortable while you're away. I provide a loving and secure environment for pets in my home, with a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can play safely. I also have a friendly, well-socialized three-year-old poodle who enjoys the company of other dogs, making for great companionship if your pup enjoys socializing. I tailor care to each pet’s needs—whether that means plenty of playtime, structured routines, or a quiet space to relax. If needed, I can easily crate your dog for sleeping or downtime to match their usual routine. My goal is to make your pet feel at home while ensuring they are safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Being a fur mom, I always get worried leaving my dog. I am so glad I found Cindy. She took good care of my dog and go beyond to make him feel at home. She sent updates and pictures too. I am thankful of Cindy and I highly recommend her to watch your fur babies.”


“Gretchen is OUTSTANDING!!! Gretchen kept our 5 year old sweet pup for 15 days and by the pictures she sent me throughout my trip I could tell she made him feel right at home! He absolutely loves being outside and Gretchen’s yard is the perfect place for an outdoor dog. He also loves cuddles and I could tell he was getting his fix. Gretchen was so aware of our dog and his needs and truly cared for him like he was her own. He was extremely well taken care of and loved throughout his stay. I will absolutely be calling Gretchen in the future for more stays!”


“Drew was soo good with Gemma and so very easy and personable to work with. Gemma came home unstressed and a little tired, which tells me she was able to relax while I was gone. Made my heart so happy! Drew was both curious and attentive in our chats about Gemma before drop-off, discussing her personality, quirks, and handling intros with other dogs. She sent great updates each day, and I loved hearing the details on Gemma interacting with the other dog Drew was caring for. She obviously cares and it shows. 10/10 . Thank you, Drew!! Gemma has two new friends <3”


“Jenny is great to work with! She was able to watch my pup on rather short notice and I was so thankful for that. My frosty face Penny is pretty low maintenance except for being deaf, but that was no issue. Jenny has experience with all kinds of dogs including those with special needs. Your furbaby will be in good hands and welcoming paws with Jenny and her pups. I highly recommend Jenny and will definitely book her again in the future!”


About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I provide loving, attentive, and reliable pet care tailored to each pup's unique needs. I’ve worked with senior dogs, anxious pups, and dogs with medical conditions—including those requiring daily medication, injections, or special diets. I’m confident handling everything from post-surgery care to mobility support, and I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and cared for. Whether it’s belly rubs, slow walks, or a strict medication schedule, I’m here to give your dog the same level of care and attention I’d give my own. I work part-time, so I have lots of flexibility to spend quality time with pets during the day and evenings. Whether it's walks, hangouts, or just keeping them company, I can fit it into my weekly routine. I'm also open to overnight stays if your pup needs a buddy at night! I care for pets in their homes just like they’re my own—keeping their routine, giving lots of love, and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home while you're away.

“Shelby was wonderful with our dog Hattie! Hattie is a bit shy and slow to warm up to dogs and people. Shelby agreed with us to do a meet and greet and sent daily updates! Hattie seemed to be very comfortable at Shelby’s house and looked to have a great time. I feel confident leaving Hattie with her knowing she’ll give lots of cuddles and walks. Thanks for a great stay ?”


“Jessica was fantastic! Out Golden Retreiver Birdie had a great time and we felt confident that she was well taken care of. Jessica also sent many photos, which is always appreciated.”
