Chuck always takes good care of my three dogs. They had a lot of fun at doggy daycare and walk right up to his house now eager to visit. Chuck is always attentive to their unique needs and they adore him and his family. Thank you Chuck

Matt is great sitter! I was so nervous dropping Sammy off because it was the first time I let someone else watch him. My fears were gone when I saw how happy Sammy was. The next time I dropped Sammy off at Matt’s, Sammy was pulling on his leash trying to run up to Matt’s house. Sammy was so excited about the fun he was going to have. Matt does a great job running Sammy and taking him on walks. As a corgi, Sammy has a ton of energy so I’m glad Matt was able to accommodate that. Would recommend using Matt 100%.

Ethan and his dog Nico took great care of Yonder! I received updates and very good photos all day while he was in Ethan’s care. Yonder came back absolutely exhausted from playing in the yard. Thanks Ethan!

Molly has been amazing to my girl! She hosts her daily for doggy daycare with her crew of dogs and Finley fits right in. Throughout the day, Molly sends pictures to update me & even goes above and beyond by dropping Finley off home on the nights I work late. I am ecstatic that Finley gets to socialize with some furry friends during the day and I don’t have to worry about her while I’m working. I highly recommend Molly as she is passionate in caring for dogs and is very accommodating with her services!

We’ve been taking our puppy to Aliesha for a few weeks now and it’s been absolutely amazing. Our pup has very high anxiety and struggles in big daycares. Once we found Aliesha so much of our own stress has been relieved knowing Bruno is so happy at her place and his overall happiness has greatly increased. She provides enrichment activities, lots of yard playtime and even takes him to the nearby creek! I’m so grateful for her kindness to Bruno and for supporting him so well. HIGHLY recommend her for daycare!

Alyssa has been nothing but amazing! I first booked her for dog walking while we were out of town for a week and our friend staying with Sully worked long hours. I received multiple pictures everyday of their walking adventures; you could tell Sully really enjoyed his walks with her. Today he had his first day of daycare at Alyssa’s home and again I received multiple pictures and updates on how he was doing with her dogs. He has since come home and has been relaxing at my side. We are going to do weekly daycare with Alyssa and will definitely book her for pet sitting or walking when we are out of town again!! I cannot recommend her enough!!

About: I’ve had dogs of all ages and sizes in my life since childhood. I’ve trained several dogs and am very patient and loving to all. I’m currently retired and can work with just about any schedule. Please contact me directly to arrange a time that works best for your pup. I have a fully fenced back yard and currently no animals of my own. Summer I spend most my time on my deck and in my garden. Your pup is welcome to join me. I have recently became a grandma and occasionally am a babysitter. Your pup must be loving towards toddlers to join us unless it’s a short stay that my babies won’t be joining. Contact me for additional scheduling. Thanks for understanding. Besides a few trips to the store or an occasional appointment I am home pretty much 24/7 so I’ll become your pups new bestie 😁 I have a fully fenced backyard. Because we have so many bunnies in our area when we build our fence we attached chicken wire to the bottom of the fence and buried the end in the dirt. So even the littlest of pups are safe!

Kathy has been absolutely wonderful with my dog, Muffin. She is so kind, attentive, and so sweet with her. Muffin is a rescue and can be shy and slow to warm up to new people but Kathy has been nothing but patient, gentle, and loving from day one. It truly means so much to have someone who understands that and takes the time to make her feel safe and comfortable. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares and that makes all the difference. I would highly recommend her services!

Was very convenient and Kate kept in touch throughout the process. We were in an area we didn't know very well so it was a relief to get to Kate's house and see such a clean area for the dogs to play. It was awesome and she took our pup for just 3 hours while we attended a brunch. I would use her again but we live in AZ.

About: Hi, I’m Sierra and I would love to give your pets the quality care they deserve! I am a huge animal lover with many years of experience working with animals. I am very responsible and clean whenever I am a guest in someone's home. I am also insured and bonded through Pet Sitters Associates. I have more than 5 years of professional experience working in overnight pet boarding & doggie day care facilities. I worked 2+ years at Paws Crossing Pet Resort and I also worked 3+ years at PetSmart PetsHotel where I was a supervisor. I have been petsitting full time for a little over 2 years now and I absolutely love it. See my photo gallery for pictures of all kinds of dogs I’ve worked with over the years! On top of my professional experience, I have volunteered at animal shelters, petsat for friends and family, and cared for my own 2 doggies Mugsy and Marley. Throughout my many years of experience I have worked with all kinds of dogs from energetic puppies to older dogs that need extra special care, and everything in between. I have worked with every size and breed you could think of. I have cared for cats and even bunnies too. I have been trained on how to safely administer many kinds of medications and injections if necessary. Because of my extensive experience working with animals I am confident I can keep your pets happy healthy and safe no matter the situation. I have been trained on how to recognize signs of stress or any other signs of concern, and if I notice anything worrisome I will contact you immediately so we can form a plan of action together if needed. Note: I do not bring my dogs with me when I petsit (unless your pets are friendly and want to have a play date we can possibly work that out!). My roommate takes care of my dogs for me when I am not home, which is why I have an extra fee for overnight stays of 3+ nights. If you have any questions about my pricing or anything else please reach out!

Jennifer is amazing- a total dog whisperer. Our dog is always a bit nervous around new people and in new settings. He took instantly to Jennifer and was much more relaxed at the end of the day when I picked him up. We’ve worked with Jennifer several times now and she’s been responsive, incredibly reliable, and communicative. I’d definitely recommend her to any of my family or friends.

About: I have personally taken great care of many animals over the course of 30+ years. My care goes above the minimum of checking in on these animals and I truly love the opportunity to be with and around a variety of breeds. I am thoughtful in their environment with a good sense of needs each animal may require. I look forward to meeting your pet(s) and taking the time to make sure they are well loved and cared for in your absence. I have the ability to make certain they are safe and well taken care of during evenings and weekends. I currently work part time days and can make arrangements, within reason, to be available for potty breaks or check ins with your animals. As a responsible and attentive pet sitter, I provide not only basic care but also enrichment and companionship. I tailor every visit to your pet’s needs—whether that’s daily walks, play sessions, feeding, medication, or comfort during separation. I’m experienced with dogs, cats, and small animals, and I make sure they feel safe, stimulated, and loved. You can count on regular updates, clean spaces, and happy tails.

I feel so lucky to have found Chuck and Mary! I had a last minute need for a sitter for my dog, and they were willing to take him for the day. They are such kind people who clearly love animals, and they made my anxious guy feel safe and comfortable, which is such a gift. Plus their yard is the most amazing sniff park!

My dogs ran into their home and were very happy. Within the first 30 seconds, one pup was ready for tummy rubs from Vonnie and the other was seeking attention from Kevin. They made us all feel comfortable before I left and they communicated with me during the day with a picture and note. I am planning more doggy day care and longer stays in the future! Thank you Vonnie and Kevin for caring and loving my dogs
