About: I have grown up with dogs around my whole life, from the puppy stage up to the old age. 3 years ago I got a dog of my own with that I fully got to learn how to care for. With that administrating medicine, long walks, puppy stage and training I have gotten to learn. I would fully treat your dog as my own and make sure they are the absolute most tail wagging version of them selves wether that be playing fetch, going on a long walk, dog park or even laying on the couch I am ready for whatever it is!! I am currently working Monday-Friday, the latest I work is 3pm I would always be able to take time off if needed if I have a week ahead notice! I offer whatever you would like, if you want your pup to have a long walk, a play time in the backyard, a trip to the dog park, or just a friend to hang out with!
“Cher is amazing. We’ve booked her twice now. She goes above and beyond and provides updates. Our travel plans changed quite a bit due to weather and she was flexible and easy to work with. I never like leaving our cat when we travel, but it makes it easier knowing she is in good hands.”
“Very detailed with Hanks and let me know everything was going on and if anything seemed different so he wasn't afraid to call and double check everything with my pup. Highly recommended”
“Amy is wonderful! She went above and beyond to care for our pets while we were out of town- she even brought catnip! She is communicative and kind. We are so grateful that we could get away knowing our pets were getting the best care possible.”
About: I have been proudly owned by dogs since I was 7 years old. I love dogs. My dogs. Your dogs. Everyone's dogs. I am currently the proud dogmom of a sweet, loving, mostly deaf, senior female Cocker Spaniel. PaTutti is almost 15 years old. She is a sweet old girl that sleeps most of the day. She was recently diagnosed with lymphoma. She's handling it like a champ. Seniors rock!! 🩷 I have rescued my last several dogs from my local animal shelter, and I especially love senior and special needs dogs. My two most-senior boys (both 15+ years old) peacefully crossed Rainbow Bridge over the past two years. And, I recently said goodbye to Trubby, who peacefully crossed Rainbow Bridge in October, 2024. We cannot let those we love the most suffer, no matter how much it breaks our heart to let them go. I'm experienced with diabetic dogs, (my blind English Setter was diagnosed diabetic at the age of 12; and, he lived to the ripe old age of almost 15) and I can administer insulin and other medications. I know all of the "pill-giving secrets." I am retired and have all day to love your dog and make them feel at home. Several of my rescued dogs have been seizure dogs, so I am also experienced with seizure events. I have a fenced-in yard and my lawns are always pesticide- and fertilizer-free. (I might have some dandelions, but they make the bees happy!) 🐝 I will gladly provide a 10% discount to all active duty military, veterans, and first responders. Please ask for your discount before you book, so I can modify your rate. (Proof of eligibility will be required. ) I do require that your dogs be fully vaccinated, including flea and tick topicals. And I would also like to meet your pet(s) before they stay in my care. (Since I have a senior dog of my own, I would like to assess the personalities of all new dogs coming into my home for boarding and day care.) I am home all day long. Dogsitting is my ONLY job. I will be able to give your dog(s) all of the love and attention they need. Your dogs will live in my home as one of my dogs. They are on my couch with me; they follow me from room to room; they hang around the kitchen when I'm cooking dinner. My house is their house. We all live together as one big happy family.
“Anna is such an excellent petsitter. She handled our elderly male feline with ease and obvious experience. Her communication is exemplary and so much appreciated. The photos she provided gave us joy and peace of mind that our furbaby was in good hands ! We are looking forward to her stopping by our house now that we are back home ! Thank you Rover and Anna !”
About: I have cared for dogs my entire life. I currently have 4 of my own. 1 cat. Also love exotic animals as well! I can administer shots and pills for medication. I love all animals and would be willing to pet sit any species! I also have 3.5 years experience in working at a daycare/ boarding facility where we catered to dogs and cats. I love one on one play time, but can also try my shot at any "special case" dogs with an attitude😅👍🏻 I have handling/ behavior experience in working with difficult dogs and have successfully made friends with all of them so far! Please message my profile if you'd like to get more answers that you may need before booking! I would be happy to accommodate any pet's specific needs!

About: I have taken care of cats my entire life at my own home & my grandma’s home. I have also dog sat over weekends many times at peoples houses. I currently only have one class M/W and two classes T/TH, so I have a lot of free time in my hands to make sure your pet is getting the attention and love they deserve! We have a fairly large backyard area that could be great for going potty, and an unused fenced in soccer field across the street for more free play time!
“Jess was very thorough in her messages about my dogs’ well being, and asked appropriate questions regarding their behavior, as well as for clarification on changes to instructions. In the pictures I received, both my dogs appeared to be happy and well taken care of. I will ask Jess to take care of my girls in the future.”
“Stephanie did a great job taking care of my cat George. He can be a challenge because he has separation anxiety, but he was not stressed out when we got home. She has good communications and sends some reassuring pictures too.”
“Louis our boys loved having you drop in. They told us how much they enjoyed playing with you. As parents of these playful boys we were very anxious about leaving them overnight. You made us feel comfortable Enough to schedule again! Thank you for caring for our boys!”

“I can’t recommend Allison enough! She has such a natural way with animals—patient, gentle, and genuinely attentive to their needs. Whether it’s going for long walks, giving belly rubs, or just keeping pets company, she treats every animal like they’re her own. I’ve seen firsthand how quickly pets warm up to her and how happy and relaxed they are in her care.
