“Raelee was fantastic! She took care of our easily excited dog with care. She took care of our house while gone like a pro. She took the time to clean up after some accidents and even wiped muddy paws! Sent plenty of pictures and updates of their daily exercises out in the yard. More than I can ask for!”

“Brandi watched our two large dogs for over a week and was absolutely amazing! She is kind, thoughtful, and responsive with her communication/feedback! She was sure to send pictures of our doggos and give us updates through the week which we absolutely appreciated. We could see our dogs smiling and so comfortable around her. Especially since it was a long trip, they thought they could go on hunger strikes but Brandi was able to coach them to eat and be comfortable!

About: I have adored dogs since childhood and have experience in fostering, training service dogs, and providing enrichment to pit bulls at the local humane society. Currently, I own a golden doodle and understand the significance of your dog. I promise to care of them with love and dedication! As a dog parent myself, I understand the guilt of not being able to walk or hang out with your dog as much as you would like! That is why I offer flexible dog walking, boarding, and day care services to take that stress off your plate! I am available for reliable all of these services on a daily, weekly, or bi-weekly basis I have ample experience in walking all kinds of dogs, from energetic puppies to elderly or disabled dogs. Your dog's well-being is my foremost concern, whether that means going for a run or leisurely strolling and sniffing around. My goal is to ensure that your dog receives enough exercise and enrichment in the beautiful outdoors, which is undoubtedly the best part of their day!

“Anabeth was great!! She did overnight stays with our boys for a long weekend. She sent us plenty of pictures and kept us updated everyday. She left the house cleaner than when we left too! Will definitely rebook her again in the future!”


About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years — from my own pets to those of family, friends, and coworkers. My heart has always been with animals, and this fall, I’ll be starting my own animal rescue. When your pet is in my care, you can trust they’ll be loved, nurtured, and spoiled! I am currently working a full time day job from 8-4pm Monday through Friday. However, I am available every day from 5-11pm! Weekends I am free from 4-11pm as well! My priority is always to understand your pet’s unique needs. I start by asking what your pet likes, dislikes, and if there’s anything specific you’d like me to do during my visit. While I’m there, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, and get a potty break before I leave. The rest of the visit is dedicated to enrichment—whether that’s playtime, snuggles, training, or exercise—so you come home to a happy, well-cared-for best friend.

“I cannot say enough good things about Alecia! One of our dogs is not always friendly to strangers and Alecia was so kind and understanding of the situation. She kept me updated on them while we were away and did everything she could to put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter…. She will give your fur babies l the love and attention they want!”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for quite sometime and even have experience with giving dogs pills as well. I’m willing to not only stay and house sit but ensure the animals have a good time. I work part time and have a lot of gaps in my day for side jobs. I live an active lifestyle so there’s no such thing as too many walks or too much playing! I make sure water is full all the time and food arrives on time with no fuss. I can easily pick up after any animals ensuring a clean lawn as well as a clean home. No pet goes unloved!

“I cannot recommend Jason enough as a dog sitter! From the moment we met, he made me feel completely comfortable leaving Dax in his care. Jason was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure both Dax and I had peace of mind. He kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, which showed just how much Dax loved his time with Jason—especially all the playtime! It's clear Jason truly cares about the dogs he watches. If you're looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely kind, Jason is your person. Dax and I are so grateful for him!”


About: For over 10 years, I have taken care of others pets as well as my own to include: going on hikes, swimming, visiting the dog park, simple training and play, administered medicine, bathing/brushing and cleaning kennels. On the weekends my husband and I stay active and frequent trails or the dog park. We love animals and don’t mind looking after them in our spare time. Our two dogs love making friends! I have an unfenced yard and live in an area with lots of safe sidewalk mileage for potty breaks and long walks (or runs). I have two well behaved dogs that can be socialized or kept separate with plenty of room in my home. We keep lots of toys around and are very attentive.

About: I have 3 dogs and 2 cats that mean everything to me. I love all animals and want to help care for your fur babies! I am currently a college student and working part time! I am available on weekends and some weekdays and available most nights! Would love to help out! I have my own dogs and cats and know how much they mean to me. I would love to care for your animals like they are my own!
