“We were so blessed to have Christina sit for the day and meet our 2 babies. She did an amazing job. We love that she called them 'the boys ' whenever she text us during the day, she was exactly what we were looking for we prayed for someone we could trust since I was in quarantine for over 1 year and this was a special day to get away and God sent a very great person who was responsible and respectful of what we asked for.”


“Jace was fantastic! He took great care of my pit bull Dottie while I was away. He kept me up to date with photos and highlights each day. He was friendly with my neighbors who witnessed him walking Dottie regularly. Jace was an excellent house guest who left the place better than when he arrived. I would 100% recommend Jace, he is a true animal lover. Thanks again!!”


“Jessica is fantastic. I had some concerns leaving Lucy after a not so positive previous experience of boarding her in someone else’s home. So I opted to do an ‘in-my-home’ service this time and it was exactly what she needed. Jessica was the perfect fit who understood my concerns and made sure this experience was very positive. Jessica made Lucy feel comfortable, loved and safe! She took her on walks, spent quality time with her and put up with Lucy’s quirkiness. She sent photos and updates and tolerated me being an overprotective mom. I already have plans to use Jessica’s services again and highly recommend her to all!! Seriously, the best!”


“Judy was amazing with our pups! She took our two dogs on lots of walks and they seemed relaxed and happy when we returned from our trip. She left our home clean and I know our dogs had the best time.”


“Chyna was amazing! She checks all the boxes for the perfect dog/house sitter. I was out of town for 5 days and she kept me updated every single day with pictures and videos. She let me know what she was doing for the day so I knew when she would be home with the dogs or how long she would be gone. My dogs needed medication during our stay and she was able to administer meds with no issue. When I came back home, my dogs were acting normal and I could tell they were being treated very well when I was gone. Best of all, she respects your home. She kept my place so tidy and clean and I came back home to exactly how I left it. Will definitely be booking with you again! Thank you so much! Book with Chyna!!?”


About: From tiny chihuahuas to great pyrenees mixes, puppies to seniors, I’ve cared for dogs across all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Some need playtime and belly rubs, others need special diets or a gentle routine. I’ve worked with both healthy dogs and those with mild medical needs, and I always adapt to meet their individual pace and comfort. My experience with pets spans years through volunteering, helping friends and family, and raising my own sweet girl Opal, who has since passed. Since then, caring for other people’s pets (and fostering a few) has become a way to keep that love present in my life. I work a regular 8–5 job, but I’m available most weekends and can often make weekday visits work with a little notice. Whether your dog needs a walk, company, or a cozy overnight sitter, I’ll show up with kindness, patience, and care. Availability • Weekends: Fully available • Weekdays: 4am- 7am and 6pm-10pm If alternative hours are needed, please feel free to share and I will do my best to adjust! I create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment tailored to their needs. I ensure they have plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention while maintaining a consistent routine for feeding, potty breaks, and exercise.

About: I’ve had a deep connection with animals for as long as I can remember. I currently share my space with my 3 companions, being my dog and two cats. Over the years, I’ve been entrusted by friends and family members alike to care for their beloved fur babies. My love for this work stems from my genuine affection for these animals, treating them with the same level of care and consideration as I would a person (perhaps even to an added degree). My current experience in pet care primarily consists of senior animals, each with unique health requirements. Though I’ve worked with many animals, I firmly believe that each pet has its own unique set of needs and distinct personality. I am committed to building a relationship with your pet so that I can learn who they are and what they love! I am currently available throughout all days of the week. Whenever your pets need someone to spend quality time with, I will more than happily be there to provide that for them. I am available 24/7 to your pets. I can adapt my routine to whatever their needs may be. Feel free to reach out at any time.

About: I’ve been surrounded by all kinds of animals throughout my entire life, and even raised my 3 current frenchies from birth! I learned a lot about the medical side of taking care of puppies & senior dogs, such as injecting / orally administering medications. Our family dog was a huge mastiff growing up, so any breed or size will not be an issue at all. Over the years I have provided petsitting to multiple family member and friends, always prioritizing the safety and comfort of all pets in my care. I am proud to have earned their trust and to consistently receive positive feedback. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which means your pet can always have my full attention. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I’m committed to providing reliable, 24/7 care. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I offer a fully fenced, dog-safe backyard for supervised play time or relaxation. My three small French Bulldogs can be securely crated or separated to provide a calm environment if needed. I also live near two parks with trails that are perfect for energetic pups who love extra walks and outdoor time.

“Alexis C. Is amazing❗️ We meet with Alexis two times before our travel. I was a bit nervous to leave Yuuki so I requested to have a meet and greet and then a short visit the day before we left. Alexis was agreeable to both meetings. She is very flexible and amazing with dogs. Our shy Yuuki excepted Alexis on the second visit. Yuuki wanted to play with her on the first visit but she couldn’t let her guard down. We were very pleased because Yuuki is slow to except new friends. Alexis is a dog whisperer. She is very quick to reply to messages. Alexis is very sweet, has a gentle disposition, and is very acomadating . After all of this we didn’t use Alexis ? because our grandson became ill and wasn’t able to take the trip, he was able to care for Yuuki. Alexis agreed to be on standby the complete week of our trip. Alexis stayed in touch and offered to come over for feedings and walks. Alexis showed such compassion. We will most definitely use Alexis for our next get away. Maria M”


About: Animal Care and service was my career and my passion for many years, since I was a child. I have had the opportunity to work with and learn from several Humane Societies and Animal Care Centers over the years. Loving, Caring for and protecting Animals have always been my passion as well as serving in my community. This is my opportunity to share my home, my passion and my love for animals with your (furry) family member and I am excited about that. I have always appreciated the trust, loyalty and respect given to me by the owners that love their dogs, simply put! It’s just a wonderful feeling to be around all that love. I am officially retired so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry family member, I also have a flexible schedule so that I can offer several Animal Care Services I have a gated front yard, fenced rear yard and a secure pool area if your dogs likes to have water fun, additional secure small Animal play Area (my Boston’s love it). The security cameras also give that little extra feeling of safety. I have crates, dog beds and private quiet rooms for the Animals to sleep or rest in if needed so your animal always feels totally at home. (because that’s the real goal!❤️).

About: I'm excited to offer pet sitting services to families in need of trusted and compassionate care for their furry friends. With a 1-year-old puppy of my own, I understand the unique needs and personalities of individual pets. Additionally, I have extensive experience caring for a variety of breeds and sizes. I am committed to providing safe, reliable & loving care for your pet, ensuring physical and emotional well-being while you are away. Whether it's administering medication, walks, or simply providing playtime and affection. I look forward to working with you and ensuring your babies receive the best care possible while you are away. I can also provide pictures/videos while I am with your furry baby. I’m currently a stay at home mom with an open schedule and have all the time to spend with your furry baby. Your pet will have my full attentive care and attention. I will take care of yours, as if they were mine. I can take care of yours dog in my home or yours. I live in a house with a fenced backyard. If you live in apartments, I have experience in walking dogs in that environment since I also just moved from a complex myself. I have a 1 year old puppy of my own that can help keep your fur baby company. Your dog doesn’t get along well with other dogs? No worries, I can make sure to keep them separated. Let me know what your fur baby needs. I also have experience in administering medicine. I can also provide a large crate in my home or yours, if needed.

About: I have several years of experience dog-sitting in a variety of settings. I’ve helped run flyball shows, which gave me hands-on experience with high energy dogs in fast paced environments. I’ve also done long term overnight dogsitting for families who were out of town for multiple weeks, making sure their pets were safe, comfortable, and well cared for. In addition, I regularly do daily drop-ins for dogs in my neighborhood and for families I used to babysit for, building strong and trusted relationships with both pets and their owners. Right now, I’m working a full-time job Monday through Friday, so my availability is limited to weekends for drop-in visits (not overnight stays). Starting in early August, my schedule will open up, and I’ll be more flexible and available for a wider range of dog-sitting services. My dog-sitting style is all about making each dog feel like they’re with family. Whether it’s my own pets or dogs I’m caring for, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible—feeding times, walks, playtime, and even their favorite spots to nap. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable by giving them plenty of attention, treats (if allowed), affection, and exercise. My goal is always to make them feel just as happy and cared for as they do when their family is home.

“Nicole house sat for us and took care of our 3 dogs and 2 kitties. Her communication is excellent and she showed so much care for all of our crew! She especially went out of her way to get our sick adult kitty his meds. She is very responsible and went above and beyond! We highly recommend her services!! :o)”


“Shawn took great care of my 2 dogs and 2 cats; especially my one dog who is reactive towards other dogs. He gave updates and pictures and made me feel better about leaving them with someone while I went home. He also was super helpful and flexible by being able to watch them an extra day when my flight had to be rebooked to the next day due to delays. If I didn’t travel for work (I’m only here for another 2 weeks) I would absolutely rebook with Shawn.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies for 12 years plus! I’m experienced with behavioral issues and can administer medications. Patience is what is key! I work from home permanently which allows me the freedom and flexibility to care for your precious fur babies during the week and weekends. Yes! I’m a professional and respectful of your home and I will treat and care and clean after your fur babies as my own fur babies!


About: I have been a dog owner my whole life. I currently have one 4 yr old male named ram. He is my life. We go on many adventures and we love having dog friends over! I am the best person to watch your dog guaranteed. I will love and cater to your dogs need as much as I do my own. I love watching animals and walking them and giving them proper love and affection. I am currently working Mon-Fri 8-1 as a chiropractic assistant. So I am available anytime after those hours. I am excited to take in a new pet and care for it like my own. I definitely have many years of qualified experience with animals. Ram and I would love to watch your dog!

About: I have been working with animals since the age of 10 where I volunteered at a family friend's dog daycare. I learned the basics of animal care there and went on to do great things in the field. I went on to do years of volunteer work as well as an internship at a Non-profit cat shelter and clinic. I worked for a few different dog day cares both here and in Reno where I spent a year. I have my own fur babies whom I love to pieces. I am Pet CPR and first aid certified. I also have grooming experience. I can cut nails, give baths, teeth brushing, and minimal hair trims. I also have knowledge in pet nutrition. Your pet will have a blast with me! I can guarantee dog park runs, getting to sleep in bed, and just an overall comfortable experience. Thanks for reading! Please note: My boyfriend will be accompanying me to any overnights. And if I am unavailable, he will take on clients as well. *Additional fees apply when outside of immediate location.* I work 4 days a week as a first responder and Brandon works 3 days as a first responder/teacher so someone is always home with pets and if we both have to leave, it won’t be for longer than an hour or 2. We have a fenced in yard, spare bedrooms, extra crates if needed, and always someone home with your pets! We always lock up food/meds to prevent any accidental ingestions.

About: I have been surrounded by a pet-loving family all my life and family and friends always rely on me to care for our furry family. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, and fish! Pet care fits well in my weekly routine as I do a majority of my work from home! Which makes it very easy to be out and about more often than others with the typical job. If need be, I have all necessities for dogs in my personal home. My backyard is well secured, I own a crate, elevated dog bowls, and have my own pup for company. If that does not work, then I can easily go by your own home and hang out with your furry friend and make sure they get activity, food/water needed, and give them a potty break! I also ensure to leave your home just the way I found it or better!
