About: I've had companion dogs for most of my adult life. Usually two dogs at a time. My oldest dog was a Red Healer cattle dog who eventually became blind and deaf, living to be almost 19yo. I've also had Australian Shepherds (2) and Border Collies (2) and enjoy the smart dog challenge. I consider my experience well rounded from training puppies to caring for older dogs who have special needs. I love them all like they are one of a kind and deserve the best this life has to offer. Thank you in advance for considering me as part of your pet's care! I work during the day M-F close to home. Home on the weekends. Daily walks are provided with additional play time and potty breaks as needed. I have a fenced yard and usually accompany the dog outside so they are not alone in the yard. Play time also occurs in the fenced yard space. Dogs are free to roam the house and be part of our family while boarding but I also offer containment to an area of the house or crate if needed.
“Chris and Erica were very professional. They provided photos and updates at every visit. I was unexpectedly also listing my house and had potential buyers stopping by while I was gone They pivoted expectations easily and did not mind adding a few extra request last minute. I would recommend them to my friends.”


About: I love dogs and I have been around and worked with them for 20 years. I have been housitting since I was a teenager. I am always respectful and I am good at matching the energy of pets. High energy pet? I love to play! Shy or low energy pet? I love to be calm and give dogs the space they need to get to know me. I work full time M-F and am happy to spend the rest of my time with your pet. I am comfortable with both high and low energy dogs, and I'm comfortable with any medications or special diets that may be required. I am comfortable following the rules of your home and cleaning up after myself. On walks, I prefer going where your dog is comfortable (trails and neighborhoods they already know) and avoid other animals to keep your dog safe.
“My cat unfortunately he’s not always very friendly to other humans. She has diabetes and requires insulin shots every morning. Sinead has been so patient and willing to get to know Tiger. She has definitely gone the extra mile to make the visits successful!!”

“Olga has taken great care of our visually impaired cats every time. She is always reliable and is a great communicator. I would recommend her without any hesitation.”


“Ms. Catherine is a very kind person. Even after messing up the booking and needing her to visit are pets for a little longer. She didn’t hesitate to help us out. I recommend anyone to ask her to watch your pets if possible.”

“Rachel was amazing and professional and I felt totally comfortable leaving my pet in her hands! Would definitely recommend and plan to rebook! Loved all the pics and updates I got and it helped me relax knowing she was taking care of him”


“Shelley helped us out when I was in a pinch for a drop in on our poor pup who was in a cone after an injury! Shelley was great and took amazing care of Dash with his extra needs and kept me updated with pictures and updates”

“Sarah is great with my high energy dogs! It’s hard for me to find care for them because one of my dogs is scared of strangers, but Sarah made her feel comfortable and relaxed. Very thankful and looking forward to future appointments!”

“Jacob was amazing! He took great care of our dog Dex while we were out of town. He took care of everything just as we had discussed and even spent time with our cats during his visits. Our very moody cat who doesn't like many people even liked Jacob. I would without a doubt recommend Jacob to anyone.”

“She shows her compassion and love for animals each time she accompanies your pet! I was comfortable each visit she had with my pets. She sent many pictures and videos so I can see my fur-babies mood, they were happy and healthy. thanm you!”

About: I have mostly done drop in play and potty visits for family member's pets, but I'm looking to expand my horizons and do overnights and general petsitting as well! I have dealt with anxious dogs and cats. I do not prefer hyper dogs for overnight visits however I am happy to do drop in visits for them! I am a full time college student and have an inconsistent work schedule at a cafe. My classes are Monday-Thurs 8a-2:30p, and typically work at the cafe Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for 7 hours. Otherwise I can do drop ins and overnights during the week and for weekends! I have two miniature schnauzers at home, Piper and Daisy. They're both super sweet girls and love cuddles and movie nights. They have a fenced yard and a doggy door for potty and play.
“Brianne did drop in care for our dog and cat! She helped us out when we were in a pinch with a last minute booking. We were very happy with the care she provided our beloved pets! Highly recommend her services.”

“Thank you Teagan. She's the best and so reliable and our Yoshi warmed up to Teagan right away. Teagan helped us feel comfortable with leaving our baby with her. Thanks again. ♥️😁”

“Eric did an exceptional job! It was clear that he went above and beyond giving our cat some quality love and playtime, was communicative, and was generous with cute photos. During our meet and greet, he was punctual, knowledgeable, friendly, and curious about our cat's habits. We would highly recommend him.”

About: I truly enjoy bonding and taking care of our little best friends . I have patience and experience providing care for animals throughout my life. I am currently at working full time , my work is done 50% remote and I have a flexible in office schedule that allows me to come and go as I need ; this allows me the opportunities to provide consistent care . I take the time to individualize care based of what your animal needs , I currently do not have any animals of my own residing in my home which has been a positive when boarding doggos that need there own space .

Brianne provided exceptional care for my dogs during her drop-in visits. She is so kind and caring, reliable, responsible, and very easy to communicate with. My dogs get along with her so well and I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing someone to check in on their pets!

Meghan watched our two cats for a week and I could not recommend her enough! She took the time to write cute, witty updates and took plenty of photos (per my request). She was wonderful working with my extremely shy cat and had him running up to greet her when most sitters never see him the whole time. Meghan is reliable, friendly and went above and beyond gaining our cat‘s trust. I’m so happy I found someone who made traveling a little less stressful!
