“Koda stayed for an extended visit and everything went really smoothly. I got videos regularly, which made me feel totally at ease while I was away. He clearly had a blast — especially making new dog friends. He came home happy and tired in the best way. I’d definitely book again.”

About: What sets me apart is my mix of genuine love for animals, dependable professionalism, and hands-on experience with pets of all ages. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies who need structure and training reinforcement, as well as senior pets who require a gentler pace and extra attention. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique routine, personality, and needs—whether that means daily walks, playtime, medication administration, or just extra snuggles. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind that they’re in caring, capable hands. My husband and I both work from home so we are always with the pups. We have a huge yard which our Golden Retriever loves so he can play with his ball! We have a separate section for our Chihuahua so he can nap. We make your fur-baby feel right at home! This is the ultimate stay-cation for them! Walks! Treats! And LOTS of play time and snuggles! Your baby is welcome on furniture and has access to a huge fenced in yard!
“Caroline was truly amazing at keeping me updated on how my dog was doing! She would send me pictures and give me an update of their day. My dog was doing so great with her! She definitely is someone to trust when it comes to leaving your pet with her.”

“Rolanda and her family took such wonderful care of my two pets during their long stay. Roma enjoyed the fenced yard and all the loving attention, and they were incredibly patient with Ollie, who started out shy and needed extra time to feel safe. The updates Rolanda sent during the week gave me real peace of mind, and it was clear my pets were treated like part of the family. I’m truly grateful for their care and will definitely book again!”

“Confesora did a great job with our dog. She was quick to respond to messages. She sent multiple photos and kept us up to date on how our little guy was doing. I would highly recommend her and would use her again.”

About: I’ve been trusted by family and neighbors to care for their pets, and I always show up with patience and love. I provide consistent care, walks, feeding, and lots of attention. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I also respect your pet’s routine and home, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently in school and usually out for about 4 hours for classes. Outside of school, I’m very active and enjoy going on walks, which fits perfectly with dog care. I plan my schedule to make sure pets get attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship. I’m reliable, organized, and communicate clearly with owners to ensure their pets’ routines are followed. I have a fenced yard where your dog will be safe, secure, and well supervised. I also live near parks where I can take dogs on enjoyable walks. I adjust to each dog’s needs, routine, and energy level to provide the best possible care. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets receive attention, exercise, feeding on schedule, and lots of affection.
“My doggies stayed several days with Ashley, Jacob and E and were outstanding sitters. My dogs were well taken care of, having plenty of playtime, belly rubs & cuddles.”


“The reviews of Bruce's services may seem too good to be true, but they aren't. I left my two girls Nelly & Krystal in Bruce's care for 10 days. He sent photos of them on a daily basis so I could see them and get a glimpse into their day. For the most part, it looked like a typical day at home for them, though I think they probably got outside a bit more than they normally do. I loved seeing them snoozing on the couch or walking around the yard instead of cooped up in a kennel all day. Bruce is a wonderful caregiver who is very conscientious and cautious to ensure his doggie guests have a safe and enjoyable visit. Will definitely book my girls with him again the next time I have to board them! Thanks, Bruce!”

“Amanda is super friendly and we liked her from the time we initially met her. When we came to pick up our pet, he didn’t want to leave her home. Great service and communication and would re-book with Amanda in a heartbeat.”

About: As a long-time owner and caretaker for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities (from high-energy dogs to independent cats and even the occasional reptile in between), I understand how much trust it takes to leave your baby with someone else, and that is a responsibility I do not take lightly. I have hands-on experience with everything from everyday routines to more complex medical and behavioral needs, so I’m comfortable handling a wide range of situations calmly and confidently. I’m very attentive, reliable, and focused on making sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. At the end of the day, I treat every pet like they’re my own—and work hard to make sure you feel just as confident and at ease as they do! I work remotely, so thankfully I’m able to fit pet care naturally into my day. I’m around to make sure they’re cared for consistently—whether that’s walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks or anything else they might need. I’m intentional about the bookings I accept and only take on clients when I can provide their pets the level of care and attention they deserve. My goal when caring for your pet while you’re away is always the same—to create a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home, while also giving you, their pawrent, complete peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands.
“Amber was great with our two pups, taking extra care to make sure they acclimated well. She was very good about sending pictures and updated every day. We would definitely use her services again!”

“I could not recommend a better family to care for your fur babies! David and his wife loved our Bee girl as their own, took lots of photos, and treated Bee as their own. They truly love dogs, and I will be using them again.”

“Brett and his girls did an amazing job taking care of my dog. Brett sent photos throughout the stay and I felt confident that she was in great hands and being taken care of like she was there own. I will definitely be asking them again in the future.”

“Thank you so much! 😊🐶This was Bono’s first time staying with her, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout, which I really appreciated. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear that Bono was in great hands. I’m definitely planning to book with her again whenever I need someone. Highly recommend!”

“Overall great experience. Quick to respond and took the initiative to send pictures everyday. The home was beautiful and I felt very safe leaving my puppy for a few nights.”

“Leslie and James are amazing! They took great care of our dogs and sent pictures of all the fun they were having. I will definitely be using them again for any dog sitting needs!”


“Sara was a great fit for our Portuguese water dog Chris. We felt comfortable leaving him with her and her family. Sara has a great set up for her dogs and ours as well. We knew Chris would have fun plying with her Kids and also her dogs. Sara was prompt in contacting us. She sent us pictures of Chris having fun. We would definately send Chris to her house again when we go away again. Thank you Sara!!!”
“We are always very at peace to leave our Zoey with Carmine. Zoey walks in, as if she lives there. Zoey eats, poops, and sleeps well. Carmine sends us pictures during Zoey’s stay. Carmine goes out of her way to make sure Zoey is safe. This time she cushioned Zoey’s ramp with pillows to make sure Zoey was safe using the ramp to sit on Carmine’s couch. Carmine is also very organized. She created a checklist of all Zoey’s belongings. At departure, Carmine had everything packed including the checklist of belongings. She also made sure Zoey smelled pleasant. Carmine’s home is clean and tidy. She makes the doggy care transitions easy by having a bed, gates, bowls, and pillows on hand. Overall, I feel that Zoey receives lots of love and excellent care from Carmine. I highly recommend, Carmine.”

“My dogs love going with Daniel, and the family, it's like their second home. He's great with my big mastiff and small dogs. His dogs also make great companions for those who stay as well. I highly recommend”

Just what we needed, and then some! Our dog Murphy was well taken care of and even pampered while we were away. I’m sure he loved making some new doggy friends, and as a very food-driven guy, is probably still dreaming of all the special treats he enjoyed. Elizabeth sent us pictures and updates, which made us smile to know how he was doing. We definitely plan on bringing him back in the future!

Absolutely amazing dog sitter! They treated my dog like family and kept me updated with photos and messages the whole time. My pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Reliable, kind, and professional — I would trust them again without hesitation. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone who truly loves animals!

Holly was absolutely amazing. She took my dogs in last minute for 3 days and nights without hesitation, which meant more to me than she probably knows. From the moment I left them with her, I felt at ease. She sent pictures and videos constantly throughout the day, including updates from every walk. She took them on multiple walks daily and kept them very active. She even cooked food for them and treated them with so much love and care — like they were her own children. That level of attention and accommodation is rare. I’m beyond impressed and genuinely grateful. Holly has such a vibrant, kind personality and it shows in how she cares for animals. My dogs clearly loved her, and that tells me everything. I would trust her again without hesitation. Highly recommend.

Theresa and her entire family take such good care of Senga! (who is "selectively social") Additionally they have an instinctual ability to know when certain dogs are good to play together and when they may need time alone. I can relax and enjoy my vacation knowing everyone is happy and safe!
