“Ajax always has a great time staying with Kristin and her family!! He is well cared for, given tons of attention and has a great time playing with his new friends.”

“My dog, Bear had a great time at Emily’s house. She was accommodating with my schedule and took great care of him. She sent pictures and videos. I will definitely request her again. She was amazing!”

“Amber and her family were great with my Mika. She sent me updates on how Mika was doing and was flexible as my schedule is a bit all over the place right now. I will book with her again as this was a fantastic experience!”

“I am so happy with Ashley’s caretaking of my boy, Sage while I was out of town. She sent pictures with cute updates. It was clear my dog was so content and happy with her in her home. I’m definitely making her my go to sitter!”

“Nancy boarded our 2 dogs for 2 weeks. She’s wonderful to work with and appears to have a great deal of experience. Our boys came home tired and happy! We would definitely use again as our dogs would feel right at home.❤️”

“Tracie and her family are all wonderfully thoughtful and kind! Nala felt comfortable right away and enjoyed her stay thoroughly! It was so very sweet of Tracie's daughter to draw me a picture of Nala to take with me! I will cherish it!”

“Ana was great with my Maltese/shih Tzu. This is the first time she’s stayed with anyone more than two days, so we (me & dog) were both a little nervous for this weeklong stay. But Ana sent me a picture and video so I was able to relax and enjoy my time away. I’ll definitely use her again. Very pleased!”


“Extremely happy with the care and attention JoJo received from Lynn. He had so much fun playing with her friendly dogs. And she kept me updated on Jojos daily antics with photos, videos and reports 😄. Lynn is an experienced dog person. I had absolutely no hesitation she could confidently handle anything that could possibly arise whilst I was out of town. It’s nice to know that someone is not only taking good care of your dog, but is actually enjoying them being there. 10/10 recommend, and will be back for sure!”


“Rachel took very good care of our 2 dogs. One of our dogs tends to get very anxious when we leave and Rachel was able to give him the extra attention and love he needed. I could def tell the difference between bringing them to a boarding facility and then this time to Rachel. So happy we found her!”

“Hailey did a wonderful job, giving our Mini Schnauzer the opportunity to become acclimated to her and the surroundings. She asked about feedings and outside time. She provided us with updates and pics throughout the day. I would heartily recommend her to anyone, but she is especially convenient to those visiting the Ark Encounter!”


About: I’ve had my own dog for 9 years, so I understand the daily care, attention, and love dogs need. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m especially patient with puppies and understand their energy, training needs, and routines. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays, and I can work around your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with access to an on-site dog park, so your pup will still get plenty of exercise and outdoor time. I make sure dogs get regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. I also have two friendly dogs who are used to being around other pets. I can crate your dog if needed and will always follow your instructions closely to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel at home.
“Alex and Martha have a clean home, a gorgeous backyard and multiple sweet, furry friends that Calliope LOVED to play with. They were communicative and very accommodating - I got picture/video updates every day, and I could tell Calliope was having a BLAST. Will absolutely reach out when I need someone to watch my Gremlin Princess again :)”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years and have experience pet sitting for multiple families, including drop-in visits and overnight care. I’ve cared for cats regularly over several years, watched dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I also volunteer through Doggy Day Out at the shelter, where I help walk and socialize dogs, and I grew up with a family dog, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience incorporating caregiving and pet care into my daily routine and enjoy creating consistent schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I am organized, dependable, and make it a priority to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My schedule allows me to provide regular walks, check-ins, enrichment, and quality time, and I always work to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. I spend a lot of time at home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, and receive plenty of attention, enrichment, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and outdoor areas secure, being attentive during walks and potty breaks, and cleaning litter boxes as needed. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel informed, reassured, and connected while away.
“Alyssa was wonderful to work with. She has an obvious love of animals and was very thorough in gathering information about our pet in order to care for him well while in her care. She sent photos and communicated often on how he was doing. We will definitely continue to use Alyssa in the future!”
