“Andrea was so good with our dog Emmy! Emmy loved her! It was such a relief to know Emmy was happy, safe and well taken care of while we traveled for the holidays! She provided regular updates with pictures and videos that helped me know Emmy was doing great! I highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a sitter for their dog!!!”

“We were nervous about getting a pet sitter for our dog, Daisy. She can be dog - and people - selective, and can be skittish around new people, or even a bit sassy if she doesn't like them. She is also a "velcro" dog who has separation anxiety when we have to leave her. She took to Tobi and her family right away, and even liked Tobi's dog, Rocky. She was content to sit with her "new pack" on the couch and even slept with them in bed! She also loved Tobi's back yard and garden! I am so glad that both Daisy and Tobi had a good experience. We will definitely book with Tobi again, and recommend her, especially for small, anxious dogs!”

“Took fantastic care of Mimi! Mimi can be an anxious dog but she warmed up to Kelly real quick🩷. The frequent updates kept us reassured during our trip that she is in great hands.”

“Amanda kept me informed with updates and a lot of pictures. It was the longest I have ever left my dog (10 days) and I felt very comfortable having her at her home.”

About: Hello! I’m a lifelong animal lover with more than 55 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. Growing up and working on a farm, I have raised and cared for dogs and cats my entire life. This experience taught me how to understand animal behavior, recognize their needs, and provide safe, compassionate care. Dogs and cats have always been part of my family, and I have extensive experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I am a longtime follower of Cesar Millan's principles of calm, confident leadership and believe that consistency, patience, exercise, and positive interactions help pets feel secure and happy. Whether your pet needs a walk, companionship while you're away, or attentive overnight care, I will treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where your pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits very well into my schedule because I am semi-retired and have significant flexibility and control over my time. I can adjust my daily activities to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and overnight care as needed. Because I manage my own schedule, I am able to provide reliable, attentive care and can often accommodate last-minute requests. I enjoy spending time with animals and appreciate the opportunity to stay active while helping pet owners feel confident that their pets are receiving the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Dogs in my care are treated as part of the family and are welcome on the furniture if boarding in my home. I believe pets are happiest when they feel included, comfortable, and surrounded by positive attention. My home is located next to a beautiful waterfront walking path, providing a safe and enjoyable setting for regular exercise and outdoor time. All dogs are walked on a leash to ensure their safety while exploring the area. I carefully monitor each pet's needs, energy level, and comfort to make sure they receive the right balance of activity, companionship, and rest. I understand the trust pet owners place in a caregiver, and I am committed to providing dependable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
“Kristin was beyond amazing. My hubby & I boarded our pit bull Weatherly for a night with her. Our dog is reactive towards other dogs, and a pit bull, so trying to find someone to watch her that doesn't feel uneasy can be a bit hard. We did a meet & greet, and I instantly knew she was the one to take care of our dog Weatherly. Kristin is very personable, within 5min of talking with her she felt like a long time friend. She has great communication, my hubby & I got picture updates. Her & weatherly hit it off from the beginning, and Kristin was super attentive to Weatherly's needs. We love Kristin so much, we actually rebooked. Weatherly will get to hang out with Kristin for 5 days, while my family & I are on a trip. She's our go to person!! Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby!!!”

“Thank you so much for taking care of Timmy when we are on vacation!! Timmy loves his vacation in your Birdie Daycare!!! He loves to go on walk and play with Birdie. We appreciate you sending us photos of Timmy having fun with other dogs while we are gone. Thank you Win May🙏🏖️”

“Jennifer watched my pup Phinney this weekend and it looked like he had a blast!! She was responsive and kind, making time for a meet and greet before. We will definitely be reaching out in the future and are so appreciative for her (and Argus!!) who took great care of our fur baby.”

“Highest Reviews for Jennifer. most sitter were very prompt in getting back to me none could accommodate my schedule. Jennifer said yes and was very prompt with all of the follow-up replies. great location and setting. I will recommend her to anyone and will use her services again when needed. Thank you very much.”

“I adore Vicki and her hubby. They both show a lot of love for canine critters and take such good care of them. They have a great backyard for the dogs to explore, and I never worry one bit about my dog!”

“We feel very lucky to have found Rose and her family. They welcomed Auggie right in, and we could see the mutual affection when we picked him up. Auggie is going to miss all of his friends at the Pawlace, but we will make sure to visit again soon. Thank you for taking great care of our Juicebox, Rose!”

“Jennifer is just the kindest sitter ever. She and her doggie Champ are wonderful and kind humans. My little guy got his paw injured before I left on my trip and she did his best to help coordinate his care. She regularly communicated how he was doing to me, and when he needed to go to urgent care she was wonderful about getting him to a trusted family member to continue his care elsewhere. We love Jennifer and Champ and hope to see them again when Cosmo is all healed up!”

“Dani’s care exceeded any expectations we had. From introductions, communication, follow ups, there were so many details she provided. We received updates and photos of our pup, a nice treat for us. We thought pup may not want to come back as she was living her best live ever. Definitely will recommend Dani, and she will be our first thought for future care.”

“Mariana took such great care of my babies! Dachshunds can be a difficult breed- and she got two of them, a puppy and a senior. She sent regular updates and pictures of them throughout their stay with her. After picking my babies up, they seem happy and healthy. Highly recommend Mariana for boarding!”

About: Hello! My name is Megan, and I want you to know you can trust your animals with me! I will treat them like they are my own. I have cared for both cats and dogs before and been a proud owner. I promise your pets will be in good hands. I am also very flexible, and am willing to work around any schedule. I do currently have a dog in my household, but she loves all animals and is very good with them. If there needs to be separation, that can be easily done. I hope you will choose me to watch over your furry friends! I can ensure to keep open communication while your pet is in my care and will send you lots of pictures as well! I am currently a stay at home mom so I have super open availability. I am willing to work around a schedule that works best for you and your furry friend I have a very friendly puppy named Maggie at home. She loves to play and make new friends. However, if your fur baby is not too fond of other animals I can have Maggie stay with family.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! They took such amazing care of my dog over the 10 days I was away, and it truly gave me peace of mind the entire time. It was clear from the start how much they genuinely care about animals. One of the things I appreciated most was the regular updates—they consistently sent videos and messages, which made me feel connected and reassured. Seeing how happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for my dog was in those updates meant everything to me. It was obvious he was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. When I returned, my dog was happy, healthy, and clearly had a great time. It’s such a relief knowing I can trust someone to meet all his needs so thoroughly. I’m incredibly grateful for the care and dedication they showed, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive dog sitter!”

Once again Kenai had a wonderful, caring, enjoyable visit with her favorite dog sitter, Andrea. ;:@) I’m so thankful to have a sitter for Kenai whom she loves seeing and being with. Kenai gets sad when she sees me haul out the suitcases and pack for vacation. But when I drive up to Andrea’s to drop her off she gets so excited and is a happy gal to see and stay with her. Andrea follows all Kenai’s care instructions and gives her extra loves plus daily walks and photos. Thank you Andrea from me and Kenai.

We had been struggling to find the right boarder for our anxious dog, and we’re SO glad we found Tobi. We really appreciated that she checked in with updates as he settled in, and before long, he was clearly happy and relaxed! He usually takes a long time to warm up to strangers and isn’t a big snuggler, so it’s a testament to their skill with anxious dogs that I got multiple pics of him snuggling with different people on their big cozy couch. We loved the photo updates, and we had a relaxing trip knowing he was in good hands. We will definitely rebook!

Very please with using Dorian to watch our dog. I have zero complaints. We have a very active pit mix puppy. He had no problem calming him and making him feel at home. Took him for walks often and treated him kindly. Will definitely be the first person I ask next time I need someone.

Absolutely outstanding dog sitter! Reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. Communication was excellent, and our dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned. I especially loved receiving the happy photos of Gunner while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing everything was handled so well. Highly recommend on every level!

Jess and Vince are AMAZING! They went above and beyond to make sure Nova was happy and comfortable. We loved getting daily updates and pictures, it made being away so much easier. Their backyard was a dream for fetch and playtime, and they even walked her every day. Nova was spoiled with love and attention and felt right at home. Bonus points for only taking one dog at a time, which was perfect for our puppy. We’ll definitely book with them again!
