About: We are the typical pet owners who treat their "children" as another loved family member. Our large, fenced yard and our cozy, animal friendly environment is perfect for your "child" while you are away. Our pet (and yours) gets exercised 2-3 times a day, swimming is always allowed if ok with you, and someone is almost always home to play, love and protect your pet. As an owner of Doodles and Mutts- exercise is demanded on a daily basis- so your pet will reap the benefits of our energetic pups. Your pet will receive tons of attention and affection and will be cared for and loved as if they were our own. About this sitter: I am a self-employed woman with a penchant for dogs. I treat them as my children and ensure they are well exercised, loved and have plenty of fun. Why I love dog sitting I have had many dogs in my life and have often helped individuals train their pet. I have extensive (20 years) basic training experience and love to spend time making sure a pet is happy and healthy. About my yard I live on a full acre and my dog/house guests have access to almost every inch of it. There is plenty of room to safely roam the fenced 1/2 acre and also plenty of room to play ball, frisbee or just run about! Our world revolves around our pets and we will make sure your pet has everything they need to be a happy pet. If there are any special instructions, we will assure that things are done correctly and patiently. We will play and entertain them all day, maybe a swim, maybe a walk, maybe a trip to the park. Down time may include cuddles, Doggie YouTube to keep their brains stimulated. Hourly potty breaks.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion and natural connection with animals of all kinds. I grew up with Yorkies and cats, and I currently share my home with two retired rescue greyhounds. I've also spent time around large breeds like English Mastiffs, so I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have a calm, patient energy that helps pets feel safe and comfortable—whether they’re shy, senior, or full of puppy energy. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel at ease while you're away, and I’m fully committed to creating that sense of home and routine for them. From administering medications to taking gentle walks or just being a warm presence, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life. I start and end each day with walks and quality time with my two retired greyhounds, so caring for animals is woven into my routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, giving medication, or just sitting with them for comfort and companionship, I genuinely enjoy every part of it. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need—whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight stays, or weekend visits. Making animals feel loved and secure is something I take pride in, and it never feels like a task—it’s something I truly love. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible. I follow each pet's routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, and any special needs like medication or extra quiet time. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy and consistent, so your pet feels secure while you're away. I take the time to get to know their personality and provide calm companionship, play, and affection based on what they enjoy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a peaceful, pet-friendly environment with soft spaces to relax, lots of love, and a routine that helps reduce stress. Whether they need extra snuggles, slow-paced walks, or a little patience, I meet them where they are—physically and emotionally.

“Robyn was great with our high energy goldendoodle! She communicated very well before and during the drop-in and it is obvious she has a huge heart for animals. I will not hesitant to hire her again!”


“Kaci is great! We’ve used her a lot to drop in on our dog Roo. She sends cute photos and makes sure Roo gets enough mid-day exercise, along with treats and water. I would recommend her to anyone!”


“We're so glad we found Kevin! I always feel sad to leave my pets behind but after the meet and greet, I knew my dog was in good hands. Kevin sent me pictures of Carmel every visit and gave me updates on each visit. It definitely made our vacation more enjoyable knowing my dog was has having a good time as well. Highly recommended”


“We are blessed to be able to keep our boys in their home while away with Elizabeth and Stephanie’s great care!! Thank you both and we will give you a shout soon.”


About: I’ve been a vet tech for many years. I’ve worked emergency and general practice. I take pride in my care and in my work and strive for comfort.

About: My name is Amanda. I am a working mom of two and two step kids, but I work full time. I currently have two kids (14 and 12) and two step kids 50% (14 and 7) as well as one dog (medium size, named Bean and dog friendly). Other than my own pets I have experience watching family and friends pets for various reasons from boarding, to dog walking. I have experience with administering medication and insulin to those pets as well. My job is flexible. I work close to home full time with frequent opportunities for breaks, so I am available during a wide variety of times needed. While boarding I have opportunity for a number of walks a day. I have a fenced in yard. If I care for multiple dogs, I introduce them slowly, and always feed separately, to avoid any issues. There is opportunity for blended play/snuggles as well as 1:1.

About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes ranging from weens to rotties. I have experience training puppies up to 2-ish years on basic commands, crate training, and socialization. I dont mind spending time walking around the block, throwing the ball for extended periods of time, or lying next to them for a period of time so that they feel loved, heard, and cared for. I do not groom. but if doggo needs a bath or brushing, I can give them a bath and brush. Our family is a poodle family, so I know the importance of keeping up with brushing. I also have cat experience. Almost 10 years ago, the Cat Distribution System of the Universe granted me Tigger, my Maine Coon. Though her, I learned how much cats genuinely better our lives. I love all furbabies and will make sure that they are well cared for when you are away. I am a teacher by day and a pet sitter by night. I am available between the hours of 4pm and 7am, with fairly open availability on weekends and holidays. I can house sit during the week while I work in the school, coming back on my lunch and planning period to spend time with your fur baby, if you are comfortable with that, also pending distance from the school. Feel free to reach out. Since I live in an apartment, I am unable to take your baby to my home. Rest assured, I will make sure that your pooch is walked (pooped and peed), loved, fed, watered, medicated (if required/needed), and safe. My priority is your baby. I treat all furbabies like they were my own, so that means they come first on my visit.

About: I've had animals my whole life. I was taught that a pet is only a pet in the beginning. Then, they're family. Know that your baby will not only be safe, but also cared for when in my care. I have a flexible part-time schedule and take classes online, so I spend a good bit of time at home. Plenty of opportunities for cuddles and multiple potty breaks throughout the day. I have a fenced backyard. I can supervise outside, if preferred. I have 3 cats. The boys are interested and my come up to your pet, but that's all. My female cat will just ignore them. They're pretty docile.

“Nicole has been wonderfully attentive to our skiddish cats. She had checked in with me everyday and asked all the important questions. From our meet and greet, I could tell she was a kind and sincere person. Her background of working with animals is impressive. We will definitely be booking with Nicole again!”

Nicole has been wonderfully attentive to our skiddish cats. She had checked in with me everyday and asked all the important questions. From our meet and greet, I could tell she was a kind and sincere person. Her background of working with animals is impressive. We will definitely be booking with Nicole again!

Harper is a wonderful pet sitter!!! Her love for all my creatures and care of my space was evident in all her actions. She was kind, communicative and attentive. I would absolutely recommend her and book her again. Thank you for caring for my little family when we were away 💓

She came to our home twice a day while we were away, took amazing care of our dog and cat, and kept us updated with photos and messages after every visit. Both our pets were happy and relaxed when we got back — a true sign of the love and attention she gave them. Highly recommended and will definitely book again!

Adrienne has been a lifeline for me. With my schedule at work and personal life constantly changing she is always readily available to come look after my pup. She sends pictures and is always in communication with me which puts my mind at ease leaving. 10/10 would highly recommend!!!!

I couldn’t be happier with Ashley as my Rover! While we were away, she gave me complete peace of mind by checking in on my Doberman Pinscher daily and keeping me informed every step of the way. Her kindness and care for my dog really stood out, and I could tell he was happy and well cared for when we returned—it felt like we never left home. Ashley’s attention to detail and trustworthiness are unmatched, and I’m so glad I chose her. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer. Highly recommend!
