About: Hi, I’m Elle! With over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for animals big and small—from playful pups and cuddly cats to goats, peacocks, and everything in between—I offer pet care that goes far beyond the basics. Whether your furry friend needs a fresh groom, a daily walk, or overnight companionship, I provide reliable, loving service tailored to their needs. I’ve built my business on trust, patience, and a true passion for animals. Pets aren’t just clients to me—they’re family. When you leave your pet in my care, you can rest easy knowing they’re in safe, capable, and compassionate hands. Caring for animals isn’t just my job—it’s my full-time passion. Because this is my main focus, your pets receive my full attention, love, and care. You can feel confident knowing they’re in experienced, trustworthy hands. I treat each pet like family, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort is my priority. During overnight stays, I offer baths, grooming, and cuddles—yes, they can sleep in the bed! I don’t use outdoor pens; instead, we enjoy playtime at the dog park and lots of indoor love. I care for each fur baby like they’re my own, giving them a safe, happy, and pampered stay.

“Dawn was amazing! She welcomed our two dogs into her home, allowing them space to become comfortable. Her dog was sweet and was patient with ours. She accommodated them with multiple potty breaks throughout the day and let them enjoy couch snuggles. We would recommend her anytime!”


“Laura was wonderful with our mini Bernedoodle! We felt so comfortable knowing that he was in a safe and happy environment. She sent us texts and photos throughout his stay so that we could keep up with how he was doing. We will definitely call on Laura the next time we are in the area! 5 stars!!”


“Stephanie and our pup quickly bonded, and our pup was given just as much love and attention as we would had she been able to travel with us. We very much appreciated that Stephanie only sits for one pet at a time, as our pup is very social with people and hates to be away from others or ignored. After our booking, our pup came back home with no signs of being starved for attention nor excess energy. She was calm and not frantic to leave. We will definitely look forward to future engagements with Stephanie when we can't include our pup in our travel plans.”


“I highly recommend Karen! She cares about my dog like she is her own. I love the picture and video updates I get throughout my dog’s stay. My dog Mellie loves playing with her other dogs and I plan to continue to take her to Karen’s anytime I need a sitter.”



“Allison did really great care of my Choco and Sadie. She is truly animal lover. She send me many pictures and reports even I didn't ask her. She understands how to treat and training dog. She understands dog owners thinking too. She is proffesinal sitter and responsible person. I also happy to hear and see pictures my dogs stay with her Jack. Jack is so sweet dog. I feel comfortable contact with her. Thank you so much. I definitely want ask her again.”


About: I’m a dog mom myself and I grew up taking care of animals! I treat every animal I encounter as if they were my own and give them all they love and kindness they deserve! I would be honored to help you with your furry babies and make them feel safe and loved while you are away! I’m a stay at home dog mom who loves taking my little guy out on adventures and he has never met a stranger when it comes to other dogs! We would love for your fur baby to join us on an adventure! If your fur baby is not that adventurous that is not a problem! I have a big fenced in yard and a fur baby of my own who would love to play with your dog. If your dog is not interested in playing with mine we have downstairs play room that is safe for your baby and has the freedom to play sleep and relax. There will be toys a bed and TV for he or she to enjoy and I will have access to them to take outside without them worrying about my dog interfering.

“Carmen took great care of our dog and provided updates while we were away, including sending pictures and videos throughout the week. We will gladly seek her care again and recommend her to others as well. Thanks!”


“Lori was great with Butterscotch!! This was an extended trip for us and the first time he was in someone else's care for over a day or two. Lori sent updates with pictures and videos of how he was doing, which helped relieve any questions about how he was doing.”


“Flower enjoyed her weekend with Donald! She was well taken care of and loved while we were gone. Drop off and pick-up were easy! Donald also sent several pictures of Flower while in his care and was easy to get in touch with while we were gone. We appreciated his care of Flower and will definitely use his services in the future!”


“Our Hubble is already counting the days until his next stay with Taylor! He is a bit timid, but warmed up quickly to Taylor. He also made fast friends with her 2 dogs and her cats. Taylor gave us daily updates and pictures so we were able to relax and enjoy our time away. Hubble often misses meals when he is away from us but he only missed a couple during his 6 days with Taylor, that says a lot about his comfort level with her and her pets! We highly recommend and will use Taylor again!”


About: My wife and I love dogs and would be happy to watch yours on the weekends. We have a half husky/catahoola leopard named Ryleigh who is 12 years old. Would prefer to be under 50 lbs. and non-shed. Pet care only available on weekends. Willing to watch Friday - Sunday. Will be available and home most of the day on the weekends and available for all your pets needs! Pets would stay inside most of the day unless we are out for an adventure! If staying with us, your pet would be able to sleep in the bed or the couch, whichever they prefer!

“Kara was so good with my pup Koda! She sent lots of pictures and videos during her stay. Kara walked her everyday like I do so she still had some normalcy. She made sure Koda was comfortable! I’m sure Koda will be excited to stay again with her. 10/10 recommend!”


About: Hello, pet parents! My name is Brianne & I am an experienced pet care provider with a passion for all creatures, big and small. What sets me apart from other sitters? Well, I have a wide range of experience caring for various animals, including chickens, goats, dogs, lizards, bunnies, and more. With a diverse portfolio of pets under my care, I understand the unique needs and personalities of different species. Whether your furry friend requires a leisurely walk or a cozy cuddle session, I am here to provide top-notch care tailored to your pet's individual preferences. Rest assured that your beloved animal companions will be treated with the utmost love, respect, and attention while in my care. So, if you're looking for a dedicated pet sitter who can handle any critter that comes their way, look no further! I can't wait to meet your furry, scaly, or feathered friends and become their new favorite caregiver. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate the specific needs and schedules of pet owners, whether it's daily dog walks, feeding visits, or any other pet care services required. I ensure that I allocate dedicated time each day or week to care for pets, providing them with the attention, love, and care they deserve. By incorporating pet care into my routine, I am able to balance my passion for animals with my work schedule, ensuring that furry friends receive the care and companionship they need while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize their safety and well-being above all else. Here are some steps I take to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your beloved animals: 1. Secure the Home: I make sure all doors, windows, and gates are securely closed to prevent pets from escaping or getting into hazardous situations. 2. Pet-Proofing: I remove any toxic plants, chemicals, or small objects that could pose a choking hazard to pets. 3. Supervision: I closely monitor pets during playtime, meals, and outdoor excursions to prevent accidents or injuries. 4. Identification: I ensure that all pets have proper identification tags with up-to-date contact information in case they were to wander off. 5. Emergency Preparedness: I have a list of emergency contacts, including your veterinarian's information, on hand in case of any unforeseen medical issues. 6. Regular Updates: I provide regular updates and photos to keep you informed of your pet's well-being and activities while you're away. By following these safety precautions and providing attentive care, you can trust that your pets are in good hands with me in your home.

“Allison was flexible with my schedule as I was driving back from Washington and got in later than I was expecting. She communicated promptly and shared updates about my fur baby! Highly recommend her 😊”


“Delihla took great care of Buddy, while I was traveling. She was wonderful about communicating about how he was doing, she sent lots of photos each day, and she was very flexible with me whenever I had some last minute changes with pickup timing. I would definitely have Buddy stay with her again, he really enjoyed his time there. Thank you! 😊”
