Ian was the absolute best! He stayed at our house with our 2 dogs for 5 days. I received regular updates and pictures of them- which was so appreciated and needed being so far away from them. I’d have Ian back in a heartbeat!

Our first time with Zach and hopefully not our last. He was punctual, reliable and so attentive to our older dog who needs some extra care and patience. Zach sent lots of updates and photos throughout his stay. He followed Kona’s schedule to a T and even came back for an extra walk last minute the next day.

I am experienced with caring for animals with special needs and behavioral issues. I know how to do dog baths & nails. I am Dog & Cat first aid/CPR certified. There is nothing I love more than caring for animals! I have very flexible availability. I can adjust my schedule to your needs. I have been incorporating pet care (whether with my pets or others') into my daily schedule for years! I am a very attentive pet sitter. I am very knowledgable of animal behavior and will always attend to your pets needs. I am an excellent communicator and will send pictures of your animal every day you're away from them.

David stayed in our house with our dog and rabbit for a week while we were traveling and I could not recommend someone more highly. He was attentive to the needs of our pets and took my dog out on long walks at the park on a daily basis. He sent us pictures and updates frequently and took excellent care of our house. He took out the trash and even vacuumed our house before we came home! David is a one of a kind sitter who goes above and beyond. I will definitely ask him to come back in the future!

About: I have grown up with dogs, mainly big dogs, but I have also cared for small dogs as well. My first dog I’ve ever had quite literally taught me how to walk. I care for two dogs At my home already and Have lots of experience with all kinds of dogs, including dealing with certain health issues and needing medication’s, your dogs will be safe happy and healthy with me!! :) I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets and make sure they are well fed happy, and have the most amount of attention they could possibly have. At my house with my own dogs, we have an electric fence, but I have also done multiple walks throughout the day and have used leeds I’ve potty trained two of my dogs and am familiar with the crating process as well if that is apart of their routine!

About: Hello! I went to school for wildlife management and conservation. Now looking and working to be a pro dog trainer to do scent detection work to save endangered animals. I spent three months in South Africa working with rescued dogs in this very field. Now I’m finishing my dog training course with so much amazing stuff I learned. This doesn’t mean I only like dogs though. I’v worked in nature centers as well, so I also have experience with snakes, turtles, and geckos. With more experience with rabbits and chinchillas! Not to be out done though I have worked with horses as well. As you can see I like to be everywhere and do everything! I love hiking, fetch, but not afraid to kick back on the couch as well with your pet children. I am also pet cpr/first aid certified, and wrapping up my dog training certification. I personally have two cats and two dogs(one is a rescue). For now I’m waiting to here about my hours to do my course work to finish my dog training certification. This will be updated as soon as possible. I take all tips and tricks to make sure they are comfortable. My energy matches so many types. I am happy to zoom and meet up in person before hand. Making sure that you can ask all that you want, and move up to a pre sitting date to get the full run down of the house and your amazing animals. This also gives them a chance to get to know me before they hang out with me while you are away. Something I do is send updates and photos, so you are never out of the loop.

About: I bring 12 years of hands on experience, basic training skills, and a passion for keeping all dogs happy, healthy, and entertained during my time with them. I currently have open availability all throughout the day during weekdays and during select hours on the weekend. I'm available early mornings and during lunch hours and dinner time as well. I care for dogs in their own home by following their usual routines and any rules the owner sets. I’m attentive with leash handling, experienced with crate training, and always focused on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy.

About: I have taken care of my family dogs since I was 15 years old and I have a dog of my own since I was 11 years old. My family has always relied on me and they know how much I really love pets, especially dogs. I will walk, feed, barge if necessary dogs when they need to and will give them exceptional amount of love. I’m currently working a part time job on weekends, and have classes throughout the week. My schedule does vary by week, but I will always make sure I will keep your pets priority if I am needed. If there’s any questions regarding my schedule don’t hesitate to ask! If pets are in my home I have a fenced yard, but there are some openings and I have an 11 year old dog. If I am at your home I will make sure your dog is always in a safe environment and they feel comfortable. Safety is very important, because many incidents do happen if not enough attention is divided. Puppies will have extra care since they are full of energy and wonder around a lot. I will try my best to always maintain a clean space for your pet.

About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs. I’ve cared for my own pets as well as family members’ and neighbors’ dogs, including handling different temperaments. I’m currently off for the summer, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need. In the fall, I may still have limited availability on certain days depending on my schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll treat your home with care, keeping everything clean, tidy, and organized. I won’t bring anyone over — just me and your pet, focused on keeping them happy and stress-free.

Nia did such a great job taking care of my pup that she (my doggo) didn’t even look like she missed me when I got back!! She updated me every day with photos, and it could show the dedicated time she put into looking after her. Coming home to a happy puppy and a clean home is the biggest stress reliever - definitely grateful.

Mia was amazing 10/10. We have difficult dogs and she handled them expertly. Mia knows dogs! We got to go on vacation and not worry one bit. She stayed at our house with the dogs and we came home to a spotless house and happy dogs.

We were out of the country for 6 days and Bradley took care of our 2 rambunctious rescue dogs. Bradley is a great communicator, emailing us everyday with a summery do how the day went and pictures. The dogs took to him rather quickly as well. My husband is a super nervous dog parent and he was put at ease immediately.

Amazing, fantastic, caring, detail, oriented, loving! I'm not sure that there's enough that I can say about how grateful I am for the fantastic care that she took of all of my animals. In fact, I think she did a better job than I would do. She sent pictures she sent walk routes she sent updates. She followed the routine. She followed the plan. All of my animals are very happy, very healthy and I think my dog already misses her. If you have a question about whether or not, you should hire her don't question it go ahead and meet her. She is invaluable and I'm so grateful for her.
