“We loved using Lauren for our dog’s weekend stay! She provided daily updates and accommodated our dogs needs really well. Will definitely use her services again!”
About: Ever since I remember, I was always surrounded by multiple pets, as my mom rescued many different animals. When I got old enough, I helped her caring for all the pets, and she taught me, how to be responsible while caring for animals. When I was 14, I started to pet sit for other people, and they were all very satisfied with the care their pet received. I am comfortable and confident around dogs of every size and breed, and cats. I have plenty of experience with dogs who require special care, including senior dogs, high energy dogs and anxious dogs. I am comfortable administering medication to cats and dogs. Caring for animals always brings me so much joy, and I hope to meet your furry child soon! :) I am a college student, who is currently on summer break and works part-time. If your pet needs company all the time, I can typically work around it! :) I am a responsible pet sitter, and have plenty of experience caring for animals in my house and also in the owners’ home. I have a fenced yard, and I go on multiple walks every day with my dog, Baldur. He is friendly with dogs and cats, but due to his age, he is not very playful anymore. However if your dog wants to play with other dogs, I often have other dogs I am pet sitting in my house, so it is likely, that your pet can meet new friends during their stay. There is also a dog park near to our house, where I am willing to take your dog if they require playtime with other dogs. If your dog is shy or more reserved, my house is big enough to provide a separated room to hang out! In our home, dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed, and most of the dogs I sit before slept with me on the bed! :) If I pet sit an animal in the client’s home, I always ensure to follow all the instructions the owner gives me about their home, and I always make sure that when I leave, the pet stays safe in their environment. I am familiar with pet CPR and First Aid, and my partner, who lives with me is pet CPR certified. When I go for longer walks with dogs, I always have water and a transportable bowl with me, so I can make sure, that your dog has always access to water, even during walks. We have air conditioning in the house, so if it is too hot outside, I can just chill with the dogs inside the house and make sure that they do not overheat.
“Kyle and his family took wonderful care of Koko! They took him on long walks and sent plenty of photo updates, which I really appreciated. They were even patient enough to spoon-feed Koko when he was being a picky eater. Kyle is very responsive and flexible with timing. I will definitely book with them again!”
“Earl was great to work with! He is easy going and great with animals. He was flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would definitely recommend this provider and we will surely be using him again in the future.”
“Katy is a fabulous sitter! Even though she had a busy weekend, she bent over backwards to make sure Pippin was a good fit with her sweet dog, Vision, and would be comfortable in her home. She was friendly and hospitable to us, and loving and attentive to Pippin. She will be our go-to sitter from now on!”
“Couldn’t be happier with our experience with Marina. She was very kind and accommodating. She took great care of Finn and took him for walks. It was so nice to get pictures and videos. It was easy to communicate.”
“Shelia took such great care of Leif with a last minute booking. She sent photos so I knew he was happy and cozy. She even took time to brush him and play with toys, and recommended senior supplements she used for her dogs. Looking forward to boarding with her again in the next couple weeks!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my families puppy and my own kitten for about 2 years now ! Ive taken care of other peoples dogs in the past as well! I’m efficient and competent. Im currently a college student, so I spend most of my time at home and just in general I’m a home body. So, I have enough time to care and tend to pets and their needs. I’m very attentive to my own cat and families dog. They both have feeding schedules and are potty trained. I’ve taken my time to make them good pets. I’ve showed the same amount of attention and affection to other peoples pets as well.
“Brandi was great! I felt my dogs were so well taken care of that I didn't worry one bit while I was gone. She posted pictures and sent updates throughout their stay. I would definitely have Freckles and Roxy stay with Brandi again in the future!”
“Our dog had a medical problem during his stay. Lindsay let us know and helped us arrange treatment. We are 1000% pleased with our dog’s treatment. When we picked him up he was relaxed and happy.”
“Ana and her husband work from home, so they are able to be with your pet 24/7. My 12 year old cockapoo, Mazie, had never stayed overnight anywhere. We were gone for 5 nights! Ana made me feel at peace leaving my pet with her and I never felt worried. She sent photos so I could see that all was well. I don’t think Mazie ever missed me. I highly recommend Ana!!”
About: I have 36 years of experience caring for various animals, mostly dogs and cats. I love not only animals but all of the things about pet sitting. I enjoy walking, meeting new people and pets, and the flexible and ever changing schedule. I am happy to feed, bathe, walk, administer medications, over nights, pet sits, train, and simply spend time or play with them. I am completely available during the days or evenings for cuddling, sitting, and both scheduled and last minute walks! Great to meet you, my name is Jennie It is important to stay within the pets already established routine, and provide a warm loving environment for the time that I am with them.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was small. Was raised on a farm so have always had a heart for all four legged friends. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday routine. I’m home often throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I structure my day around the animals in my care—morning feedings and walks, daytime check-ins, enrichment activities, and evening wind-down time. Because I’m already used to caring for pets and managing a household, integrating your pet’s needs into my schedule is easy and enjoyable. Their comfort and routine always come first. When pets stay in my home, they get a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play, relax, and get plenty of fresh air. I also take pets on regular walks and, if the owner is comfortable with it, we enjoy outings to local dog parks for extra exercise and socialization. Inside my home, pets are treated like family—lots of affection, playtime, and a calm, clean space to rest. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs, and any special instructions. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their normal routine and make sure they feel secure in their familiar space. I provide regular walks, feeding, potty breaks, clean water, playtime, and lots of attention. I also keep owners updated with messages, photos, and notes so they always know how their pets are doing.
“Sherry is fantastic. She made my pup feel right at home and provided excellent care. She sent lots of pictures and videos, which we loved. She took walks and had dog park time. Also, Sherry's pup, Deja, is so easy going a loves having playmates. We can tell our pup had a good time and enjoyed her stay. We highly recommend Sherry.”
“Caren was great! My dog seemed very happy there and she seemed to take great care of her. Her house is in a nice neighborhood and my dog’s age got a lot of good walks and visits to the dog park, etc. Would definitely recommend Caren!”
“Heather and Calob took such great care of our dog Mochi when we went on a trip. My dog can’t see in one eye, and needs to take medication daily. They asked for detailed instructions and sent daily updates and pictures. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing that my pup what cared for with love. I would definitely book with them again!”

Delilah had a nice little vacation with Lindsey and Hawk while I was away. I always know she is in great, capable hands with Lindsey. I look forward to the pics and check-ins from her every day. Delilah is always so tuckered out from her active and adventurous stay with Lindsey!
Kyle and his family took wonderful care of Koko! They took him on long walks and sent plenty of photo updates, which I really appreciated. They were even patient enough to spoon-feed Koko when he was being a picky eater. Kyle is very responsive and flexible with timing. I will definitely book with them again!
I booked with Earl super last minute so I really appreciated him getting back to me and watching Norma. She stayed for one night and seemed very relaxed when I got her back which I thought was awesome. Earl sent me some photos of her during her stay to keep me updated. Will definitely book again :)
Stacie and her family were amazing! They took such great care of Ginger and gave her so much love and attention. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was safe and happy with them. Stacie was always quick to respond and sent photos while we were away, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.
Katy provided a true at home experience and sent daily pictures of our Schnauzer cuddled up next to her lovely daughter. When we picked her up, Stella ran to members of Katie’s family as well as us. She was clearly comfortable with them. My husband was afraid she wouldn’t want to come home with us! We booked late on a holiday weekend and ended up rescheduling our pick up time to a couple hours later. Katie was totally accommodating. We had a perfect boarding experience! Thanks Katie and also to your lovely family. We hope to see you again soon!
Madison was amazing! She accommodated me at short notice and took very good care of my baby. My doodle has seperation anxiety and she maneuvered through it very well. Provided a crate and toys of her own just to make him comfy. The pics and updates she sent let me know my dog was happy and felt safe in her care. I look forward to her caring for my dog in the future.
