“Chantel was very easy going and flexible. She sent me daily photos and videos. My dog loved her dog, and she will miss her buddy. My dog is a high energy beagle puppy, who loves to follow her nose and could be a runner. She came back to me safe and sound so I am happy.”

“Shayne and Jessica were 5 star sitters. This was our first time leaving our dog with sitters for 18 days. He was treated like family and fit in well with their two kids. They communicated well with us while we were gone. They sent us much appreciated pictures and videos on how he was doing. He enjoyed their fenced backyard and enjoyed sunning himself on their deck.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve owned dogs and cats, and I’ve been pet sitting for the past 15 years, caring for animals of all kinds and personalities. From energetic dogs to independent cats, I’m comfortable adapting my care to what each animal needs. I take pet sitting seriously and focus on making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to do walks and drop-ins during the day, morning, or at night. I also work from home, which allows me to provide consistent attention and flexible care throughout the day. Because of this, I’m able to board pets anytime and make sure they’re never left alone for long periods. I prioritize safety, structure, and individualized care whether pets are in my home or theirs. In my apartment, pets are always supervised and kept in a calm, secure environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific care instructions provided. Living in an apartment allows me to take dogs out for multiple structured walks throughout the day, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and bathroom breaks.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of care, experience, and attention I bring to every dog as if they were my own. I’m a longtime poodle mom to three senior dogs—Milo, Moose, and Millie—so I’m especially comfortable with senior care, slower routines, special needs, and lots of patience and affection. I have 9 years of pet ownership and sitting experience and understand how important it is to follow routines closely, notice small changes, and communicate clearly with owners. I’m detail-oriented, attentive, and reliable, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, or making sure your dog gets the right balance of exercise, rest, and enrichment. I’m comfortable administering medications and caring for dogs who need a little extra support or monitoring. My home has a secure, fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor time, and inside your dog will find a calm, cozy environment—with plenty of couch snuggles and one-on-one attention (my favorite part!). I truly love animals and take pride in providing thoughtful, loving care. You can trust that your dog will be safe, happy, and treated like family while you’re away. My schedule is flexible and I can adapt to the needs of your dog. At a minimum, I offer daily walks, ample backyard time for exploring, and lots and lots of snuggles! My house is extremely dog friendly. I can let your dog lay around with mine during the day on their cloud beds or keep him/her separate based on your preferences. I do have a crate if needed. My backyard is fully and securely fenced.

She was great about sending daily updates (with photos), and I could tell how happy he was the entire time, feeling right at home :) I cannot recommend Arden enough - thank you again!!!”

“Kayla is nothing short of fantastic! From the first communication, to the introduction meeting, to the stay, and everything in between, she was nothing but kind and respectful. My baby boy, Vegas, felt right at home to moment he met Kayla and Bentley. Her home was cleaned and organized. Throughout my time away, she sent me updates and photos, and even took my baby boy to see Santa (which absolutely made my day)! This was his first stay with someone other than family, and I can say that Kayla will be our dog sitter for all future trips. If you are looking for a sitter, I would highly recommend Kayla and Bentley!”

“Kelly was fabulous with my two doodles. I had never left them with somebody before and because my oldest dog has sight issues I was very nervous, but Kelly put me at ease immediately. Every day she would send me photos or videos with a little snippet about how things were going. I looked forward to seeing the photos and I could tell that they were having fun running around her yard. It is obvious that Kelly loves dogs and I will definitely use her again.”

Emily is absolutely wonderful. We’ve used her before and have complete confidence every time we leave our senior golden Charlie in her care. He knows her well and is always so happy to see her, which tells us everything we need to know. We are so grateful for Emily and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving sitter.

Arden was a great sitter for Rooney. We felt very comfortable knowing Rooney was in good, safe hands the whole time. Arden sent us lots of photos and kept us updated on how Rooney was doing, including their daily walks and activities. We would absolutely recommend Arden and will definitely reach out to her again whenever we need someone we trust to watch Rooney.

Bonnie had a great time at Austin and Morgan’s! I was thankful they were available to help watch her while my husband and I had last minute work travel come up. I felt very comfortable leaving her at their home and I glad she had their dogs to play with. They were respectful of Bonnie’s routine and sent us frequent updates and pictures both days we were gone. Thank you Austin and Morgan for taking care of our sweet girl!

Sarah and her husband Doug were fantastic sitters for our dog, Rooney. We had absolutely no worries during the entire week she stayed with them. They were extremely easy to communicate with, consistently responsive, and provided plenty of thoughtful updates that kept us at ease. They also really took the time to understand Rooney’s quirks and personality, which made a huge difference. It was clear she felt comfortable and well cared for in their home. Their own dog, Duke, is incredibly sweet, and they got along wonderfully. We would be very happy to use their services again and highly recommend Sarah and Doug to anyone looking for reliable, warm, and attentive sitters.
