Dog Sitting Stow

About: I grew up with a dog from the age 3-16! My best friend has a Boxer and I've been taking care and watching him frequently since he was a puppy! I also worked at an office where the owners had two dogs, a small chihuahua and a greater Swiss mountain dog. I took them out for frequent walks & fed them, as well as watched them when the owners weren't around. I'm currently a Stay-Home-Mother. My son is 3 years old, so the pet must be toddler friendly. I am home most weekdays. I can be busy on weekends, but if I have an early heads-up, I can accommodate. I am flexible during the week and have a car to drive to my client's houses! I am willing to stop by and feed, play and walk your pet.

“Laura was great! She responded quickly when I had questions and kept me updated. I felt very comfortable leaving my cat in her care when I was out of town. Highly recommend!”

About: I have a lot of hands-on experience caring for dogs, especially high-energy breeds. I have my own dog, Roo, who is a Vizsla, so I’m very used to active dogs that need plenty of exercise, attention, and mental stimulation. Because of this, I’m comfortable with long walks, runs, play sessions, and keeping dogs engaged so they’re happy and tired by the end of the day. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs. Whether your dog loves adventures outside, structured walks, or just wants companionship and attention, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them most comfortable. I’m also used to maintaining routines with feeding, exercise, and basic commands to keep dogs feeling secure and cared for. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and understand the responsibility that comes with caring for someone else’s pet. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, exercised, and loved while you’re away. I’m a college student-athlete, so I spend most of the school year on campus, but I love dog walking and helping out when I’m home during school breaks and over the summer! I grew up with my dog, Roo, and have years of experience walking, playing with, bathing, and caring for her. I love being active outdoors and spending time with dogs, whether that means going for walks, playing outside, or just keeping them company and giving them lots of attention. I’m happy to coordinate scheduling around your needs while I’m home! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I make sure to follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific instructions from the owner. Keeping a dog’s routine consistent helps them feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and make sure the environment stays calm, safe, and clean for the pet. I pay close attention during walks, keep dogs securely leashed when outside, and always monitor their behavior to make sure they’re safe and comfortable. Because I have my own dog, Roo, a Vizsla, I’m very familiar with staying attentive to a dog’s needs, energy levels, and safety both indoors and outdoors. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to send updates and photos so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Zachary was great! He helped us out at the last minute and provided wonderful care to our big dog! Zachary was very attentive, he fed and walked Mischka and made sure he got his medication. He sent many pictures so that we knew that Mischka was doing well.”

“Eden is always wonderful with our shy, senior kitty. We appreciate her cute photos and lively comments that help us feel connected to him when we are away.”

“Franciane took great care of my cat, Bunny! She was respectful, responsive, and great about giving updates and pictures. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

“I highly recommend Kayla G. My dogs are very spoiled and do not really like people who do not live in our house, but they love her. I have asked Kayla back a few times so I could go away on vacation and she was very communicative and took great care of them.”

About: I just left my job after many many years. I worked in the addiction recovery sector. I have found myself still having so much in my heart to give I am retired and home so while I am babysitting your fur baby I will be sure to schedule things remotely. That way he or she will get the attention they need while you are away I take dogs on a walk regularly on a leash. Also, there is lots and lots of love to go around here for your fur baby while yo are away.

“Thank you so so so much! Carlos is awesome and communication is great. It made me feel better being away for so long knowing that Carlos was caring for them. Thank you again!”

“Diana is a star! She was great with our 2 pups who can be reactive to new people and her calm, confident demeanor put them at ease almost immediately. Diana is warm, highly skilled at handling big dogs who need special behavioral attention, and even trained the pups during her stay! She’s professional, communicative, and brings lots of good energy. The pups were noticeable calmer and very happy when we returned. Can’t wait to hire Diana again!”

Gina L.

“Virginia is absolutely amazing! She catered to all four of my cats. She adjusted perfectly to our cat’s particular needs. We have one shy cat who will not come out from under the couch for anyone, but Virginia was able to bond with her and give her the attention she needed. We will be using Virginia for all of our future “cat lovin’” needs!”

About: I am Cori checked, have experience working with trainers, I love to go for long walks with dogs and enjoy staying at the dog park and enjoying the sunny days! I work teaching hours and will be free when your kids are on vacation, We can go for walks and enjoy the fresh air in the backyard. It depends on the needs if they need meds but in general must feed, play, and go for walks! Have them sit next to me and cuddle!

About: I have been pet sitting for 10 years, I board and do in home visits, I sit for dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles and even fish! I prioritize animals safety while also providing proper enrichment, walks, hikes, playdates, and play sessions. I am also a Certified veterinary technician. I currently work at a doggy daycare, on days off i'm with pets all day walking and playing. During work days I walk dogs before work and then get a 3 hour break in the middle of the day where I hike with dogs and cats. I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat and a friendly dog at home to keep your pets company. I find hiking trails and safe walking routes to take pets on fun adventures!

“We feel so lucky to have found Sydney! Our dogs clearly love her, and it made our trip out of town so much easier knowing we had her help. Thank you!!”

About: I treat every dog like family-with love, patience, and attetion. I make sure each pyp feels safe, happy, loved and cared for while you're away. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I set aside time every day for walks, feeding and playtime. i enjoy spending time with animals and always make sure they are well cared for. During walks, I focus on the dog's safety and wellbeing. I choose quiet routes when possible, bring water if it's hot, and make sure they get exercise and simulation. I always treat them withcare and respect

About: I'm a veteran providing daycare and boarding, depending on the dog and owner, is generally filled with canine adventures including hikes in a forest and hills, and in the summer, play in dog friendly areas with might even include a pool party and ice cream social! Given the right environment and only with your permission, this can include off-leash time. Pickup and drop-off is almost always available. The quoted price is for a 15 mile range. Extra if farther. ----- Since I was 4, I've been caring for all kinds of animals, especially dogs. At one time as a kid, we had 4 Great Danes! I've had mixed breeds and purebreds, athletes and couch potatoes, puppies, seniors, and special needs. I've also trained them although I've never been certified. Something common that friends say after their dog has spent a week or more with me is "how come my dog is now better behaved?" Your neighborhood or mine, the local park, the dog park, or on dog friendly trails. One dog or many. Having had all kinds of pets, including a 23 year old cat who required daily fluids and Miralax because of kidney failure and old cat dry colon, a dog that suffered seizures, and others. I even had a big 7 pound black and white adult rabbit that I found dumped in the state forest; she was litter box trained, had the run of the house, used the big dog crate as her private home, and would take turns playing with and chasing the 93 pound dog. I've just always seemed to understand dogs in particular and vice versa. The same is usually true with other animals too. I even enjoy caring for dogs that are hyper! Just let me know first in case I've got low energy dogs with me. What you can expect: Boarding and daycare are usually canine adventure time with me. Assuming your pooch is up for it, they'll accompany us on an adventure where they usually be able to play with other dogs, swim, and go on hikes. When the weather doesn't cooperate, that usually means pack walks somewhere like Lowes or somewhere else inside. If your dog tends to be stressed around other dogs and not well socialized, they'll have fun, learn that they are safe and can enjoy themselves while learning to be social and resilient. This is also great for improving their fitness and overall health. I work remotely, set my schedule, and nothing makes me happier that being with and doing things with dogs. Dog park? Trails? It's field trip and adventure time, if your beast is up for it. Play dates? Why not! Up for playing with my dog who is vaccinated for probably everything and wants to chase and be chased? Not a problem. Special needs or a senior? Just let me know. I have a fenced yard and a happy, boisterous 6 year old, 57 pound dog who adjusts his play style to what other dogs like. If he's too much for your dog, he takes correction from them, no problem, or I can put them in different places. He even lets little dogs beat him up without protest and if your dog likes rough play, he'll accomodate. He's happy and loves people and dogs. He has zero resource guarding issues; if your's does, he'll give them space.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for years, both professionally and personally. I currently work as a veterinary technician, so I’m very comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. I have experience administering medications, caring for senior pets, working with puppies, and recognizing when something just doesn’t seem right. Before working in veterinary medicine, I also did dog sitting and dog walking throughout college, so pet care has been a part of my life for a long time. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet, and I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a huge animal person and treat every pet like they’re one of my own. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and plenty of attention so you can feel completely comfortable while your pet is in my care. Pet care is already such a natural part of my everyday life that it honestly doesn’t feel like work to me. I have several pets of my own, so my days already revolve around feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, medications when needed, and making sure everyone is happy and comfortable. Between caring for my own animals and working professionally as a veterinary technician, looking after pets has become second nature to me. Adding another pet into my routine feels easy and natural rather than like an extra chore. I genuinely enjoy spending my time with animals, so giving them the attention, exercise, affection, and care they need is something I look forward to rather than something I have to squeeze into my day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I live in my own three-bedroom home with a finished basement, so there is plenty of space to give pets their own area, quiet time, or separation when needed. I have two dogs of my own: a smaller senior dog who generally prefers to keep to himself, and a 6-month-old puppy who is crate trained. I’m able to manage introductions carefully and keep dogs separated when appropriate so everyone can stay comfortable and safe. Because I work in veterinary medicine, I’m very mindful of behavior, stress signals, health changes, and safe handling. I always supervise interactions closely, follow each pet’s normal routine as much as possible, and make sure they have a secure, calm environment while they’re in my care.

“Grayce was awesome with my cats!! She replied quickly to messages and left detailed notes during visits letting me know how my cats were doing and how much attention they were basking in while we were away! I would definitely book with Grayce again :)”

“I can not say enough about how awesome Melissa was watching our dog! She did an excellent job keeping us inform and sending pictures. Our dog will get sad when we go away she showed so much empathy and understanding towards him! I would highly recommend her to everyone!”

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have had dogs of my own, along with 10+ years of experience dog sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs and love getting them outside for a good walk, giving them some playtime and attention, or simply keeping them company during a drop-in visit. I’m reliable, active, and will treat your pup like my own! I have lots of availability over the next month before I start work, so I’m able to be pretty flexible with walks and drop-in visits! I’d love to fill my extra time with some furry friends and can work around your pup’s usual schedule and routine. Your pup’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll follow any instructions you leave for me, make sure they’re secure when coming and going, and give them lots of attention, playtime, and love.
