“Heather is the absolute best! She took wonderful care of our baby, and we can’t thank her enough. Great communication, and she took the time to send us daily pics to let us know how our pup was doing while we were gone.”

About: Animals have been part of my life since birth, and caring for them has always been one of the greatest joys of my life. I grew up in a home that always had dogs, and when I got my first dog in my early twenties, I continued owning and caring for dogs for nearly 31 years. While I currently share my home with three beloved cats, I’ve spent a lifetime around dogs and understand their needs, personalities, and the importance of making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. For the past five years, I’ve also hosted guests through Airbnb and regularly cared for their pets, giving me experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something that comes from the heart. Your pet will be treated with the same love, patience, and attention that I would give my own family. I work for myself, I have a very flexible schedule and can adjust my time to meet your pet’s needs. This allows me to be available, reliable, and fully present for your pet. Whether it’s daily visits or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they are cared for, comfortable, and never feel alone. I treat every pet like my own, with safety and comfort always coming first. I live on a private five-acre property with a large, securely fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and enjoy plenty of space. Inside, pets have a calm, clean environment with cozy spots to relax, along with toys and attention. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and truly cared for.
“Aly was so communicative and took extra care to interact and snuggle with our cats. We really appreciated her willingness to sit for us last minute and enjoyed our trip knowing she was updating us with pictures of her sleepovers with our girls and Pookie. She was able to administer insulin for our diabetic cat and ensure her dietary needs were met. We were so lucky to find her!”

“This is my second time using Lauren for in-home overnight stays for my two (very spoiled) Schnauzers. I could not be happier! I felt so comfortable after the first stay that I didnt hesitate booking a weekend getaway. You will not be disappointed!”


About: Hi! I'm ava and I've grown up with animals my whole life, i'm used to taking care of senior dogs with disabilities like blindness, deaf dogs/cats or joint problems, I'm also good with puppy's kittens and older cats, with or without disabilities. I now own 2 of my own cats, honey and astra, and 1 dog named milo❤️. I love animals so much, I'll take care of your animal as if they are my own, and make sure they always feel loved! I also am good at tricking dogs and cats to take their medicine if needed!😊 I am available any day and almost anytime! I am currently trying to start my own small business selling art, So I can adjust my schedule very easily! I will have dog or cat treats always with me to: gain trust, teach to sit, and any other circumstances! When walking animals I will keep my eye open for cars and other animals to keep your animal safe at all times!
“Jennifer was a doll! She was so kind and caring. She even sent pics of our babies while we were on vacation and kept in touch with us. We can’t wait to call on her for next time!”

“Michael was great... he kept me updated with photos and was in and out as if he was never there! Followed my requests for my dog to a T! Highly, highly recommended! Very responsive. Thank you, Michael!”
“Linda was a life-saver and took such great care of our pets and house so we could attend to a last minute family emergency. She did a fantastic job and we will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Kristine is a warm and caring individual and my dogs picked up on that immediately. She was fantastic with our three German Shepherds. She took great care of our dogs and our home while we were away. She was respectful of our property, cleaned up after herself and the dogs, and went above and beyond by mopping up after a rainstorm and even throwing linens in the wash before we returned. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was being handled so thoughtfully. Great communication, too. I would absolutely book Kristine again and highly recommend. Kristine, if you’re reading this, thank you so much for putting up with all the shedding, the Shepherds were dropping their coats like crazy.”

About: I am ready and able to handle anything your dog throws at me (figuratively and literally). I love to hike with my two pups and they have two widely different paces, so I have alot of experience with different styles and activity levels. I am comfortable with any breed and size. From talkative beagles to slobbery Newfoundland's. I have sat and walked for neighbors and friends and this has brought great experience. Cat dad at home 🐈 🐈⬛️ Taking care of your pets is my top priority. It is a passion of mine to make sure they are well cared for and loved. I have a deep affection for all dogs and form strong connections quickly. I have a fenced front yard as well as a larger field that is also fenced. I have mowed trails so we can go on little nature walks.
“Aubrey was wonderful!!!! She took great care of our babies and send a ton of pics to keep us updated. When we got home the dogs were super excited to see us but after a few minutes they were right back at Aubrey’s side. That’s a great sign!”

“Lauren was great with our pups! We have three big dogs and she sent updates on each one when she let them and fed them! It made it easier on me being gone knowing they were well taken care of. We came home to three happy dogs!! Will definitely be using Lauren again in the future.”


About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I fostered a dog for five months, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to help a dog feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I have also spent years pet sitting for family and friends while they were away, providing reliable care, daily walks, playtime, feeding, medication when needed, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog is unique, and I strive to make each pet feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a calmer routine, I will treat them like they are my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have cared for dogs my entire life and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I am able to provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet's regular routine and will do my best to keep them comfortable and happy while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being at all times. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I provide a clean, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel secure. I also believe in regular communication and am happy to provide updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and got into dog training 2 years ago. I assisted a dog training company with the dogs they would board and care for, and assisted with multiple training outings. I also raised and trained my own service animal. I’m currently working part time, and will focus solely on providing care for your pet and home. They are my number one priority and love to do things with them. I will take them on long walks and do training with them to get their brain going. I’ll make sure their meals are extra tasty and made with love.

“Day was truly a blessing! She took such great care of my senior dog Zeus and my home while I was away. I appreciated her communication and all of the photos she sent. So grateful I found her!”

About: With 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I'm passionate about keeping them happy and active with fun walks. I also have experience managing multiple dogs on walks. I’m currently in summer break so I have more free time than usual and I always wake up early to take my own dogs out. I always take my dogs out 3 times a day morning, evening and night. As well as giving them ample food and water in the mornings and evenings. And of course we can talk more about how I can better take care of your pup.
