Matt recently watched our girls, and we were very pleased with his visits and attention. He sent lots of pictures and they were very well cared for.

Tiffany was super friendly and took great care of my dog while I was at work. I really appreciated the updates, pictures, and the peace of mind knowing my pup got some fresh air and attention during the day. Will definitely be booking again—highly recommend!

About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience working with dogs through both training and in-home boarding. My background as a professional dog trainer means I understand canine behavior on a deeper level, allowing me to provide structured, safe, and low-stress care for every dog in my home. I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs—from young puppies to more challenging cases—and prioritize clear communication, consistency, and meeting each dog where they’re at. Whether your dog needs structure, confidence building, or just a calm and reliable environment, I tailor my care to fit their individual needs. Dogs in my care are part of a structured, trainer-managed environment. During the day, they are integrated into my routine and pack, allowing for appropriate socialization and calm coexistence. With board & train dogs on-site, I maintain a high level of supervision and structure to ensure safety and balance for every dog. All dogs are crated at night to promote rest and maintain a secure environment. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. With over 5 years of professional dog training and boarding experience, I’m very intentional about how dogs are introduced, managed, and supervised in my home. Dogs are never left unsupervised together, and all interactions are based on temperament and comfort level. I have experience reading body language and preventing issues before they arise, creating a calm and controlled environment. At night, all dogs are safely crated to ensure proper rest and security. My goal is to provide a space where your dog feels safe, understood, and well cared for at all times.

About: Since I can remember, I have been caring for animals. If people know me, they know there is no Emilee without pets. Whether it's caring for the 3 dogs of my own, my cat, or a friend's/family's/colleague's animals, I am always excited for bonus time around fury loved ones. I have a background and degree in Animal Science and specific skills pertaining to diabetic animals. I am comfortable with all breeds, ages and sizes. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I am able to take on new clients for one-off visits, or daily/weekly/monthly needs. I realize things come up unexpectedly, so I am happy to be an immediate resource for you if my schedule allows! My personal philosophy has always been, "What would I think if it were me?" If someone were entering my home, or taking care of my animals, I would want full confidence that I can 100% trust that person without a single doubt in my mind. Whatever your needs & preferences are, I can promise I will execute them on every level.

Patten was a God send, since I had to pull last minute shifts with the wife being away for work. Daisy took to her so well and she really made sure to keep Daisy company and not just feed her take her out and leave for the day. She truly cared enough to play with Daisy and make sure that she ate all her food before she would take her out. Again cannot be more grateful how helpful and caring she was to Daisy.

About: I’ve spent the last 20 years caring for cats and kittens of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I treat every cat like my own—respecting their routines, earning their trust, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for in their home. While I travel a bit for work, I have several home office days and weekends free to help your cats have a great time while you are away. I take great care of your cats in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I follow your routines closely, keep spaces clean and calm, and make sure your cat gets the right balance of attention and independence. Your cat’s comfort, health, and happiness are always my top priorities.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have personally cared for dogs since 2009. Over the years, I’ve had hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments — from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and specific needs to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, administering basic care, or just providing companionship, I treat every dog like they’re my own. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority! I’m currently working at an Elementary School full-time, but I always find time to take care of fur babies! I am available full time on the weekends, and available after 3 pm on the weekdays. I have one cat, he is safe around other cats, and is all up to date on his vaccinations. I have been pet sitting for about 4 years and have reliable references, if needed!

About: I have over 25 years of dog breeding experience and I would love to care for your loved ones in our home. Large home and plenty of running room in our spacious yard. I cannot take care of male dogs over 30 lbs due to a female dog in the household. I can take care of female fur babies of less than 30 lbs. I work from home and have plenty of time to give your fur baby the attention he or she needs. Taking care of dogs are my specialty. I have a fenced in yard and a female lab who loves to go for walks and play. Your fur baby will have plenty of friends caring for him or her.

Larissa took really good care of our 2 outdoor cats. One cat had a special diet and she took good care of her and kept me apprised of how she was doing. The weather was even bad one day. I told her if bad weather comes, I could call my neighbor. But, she came anyway. She is very responsible and dependable, and takes into consideration what is best for the pet.

Thank goodness for Matthew!!! My dogs love him, even my quirky one. He takes his time with each dog and makes sure they all get lots of attention. He kindly also checks in on my cats. He sends me updates letting me know how things went which makes my day go smoother because I don't have to worry about my animals. Plus, he's been able to be flexible with his schedule when I have to make changes. I highly recommend Matthew!
