“Kiara and her family are so good with my pup! He is always so happy. She sends lots of pictures and gives us updates which we always love! I highly recommend booking with her:)”

“Kaitlyn and John took amazing care of my dog while I was away. This was the first time I left her at someone else’s home for an extended amount of time and it seemed as if my dog fit right in with their family and was given so much love and attention. They sent pictures and updates daily and my dog returned to me happy and healthy. I would love to have them watch my girl again next time I am in need of a pet sitter. Highly recommend!”

“Amanda has been wonderful with Hatcher! He’s stayed several times now and he comes home tuckered out. We love her open communication and frequent photo & video updates while he’s with her. She takes great care of our boy and we appreciate all she does so we can enjoy our time away from him without having to worry if he’s ok. Thank you so much Amanda!”

“Ashley was a great pick to watch our golden. She provided prompt communication, pictures and updates during the day, and made sure our pup had plenty of playtime. She even took her for a second walk early in the morning before we picked her up!”

“Tina made my dog feel right at home! Mini can be shy, especially with new dogs, but Tina, Molly, and Denali took wonderful care of her and made her part of the pack. I will definitely be sending Mini her way again!”
About: I’ve spent my life around dogs of all shapes and sizes, and caring for them has always been an important part of my life. With 3 years experience working in a dog boarding facility and 3 dogs of my own, I understand the importance of attentive care, structure and consistent routines! I provide structured walks, mental stimulation, and exercise to help keep your dog happy, healthy, and fulfilled, while reinforcing good manners and maintaining the training and routines you’ve established at home. For in-home boarding, your dog will stay in a comfortable home environment with a fenced in yard, heated garage for chilly days and a large, open living area for indoor activities and relaxing. All pets in my care sleep in kennels at night to ensure a safe, cozy place to rest. I currently have a flexible schedule and completely open availability, I have 3 dogs of my own and your pet will be treated as part of the family! I have a fenced in yard, and three friendly dogs who would love to welcome your pups into our daily schedule of play, walks and activities! Your dog will always be attended to, and have a safe kenneled space to rest in if ever unsupervised.

“Jessica was kind and welcoming for my nervous doggo! She took great care of him and helped him settle in quickly. She also sent me sweet pics of him every day. Will definitely be returning to Jessica for future pet sitting needs.”

“Sarah was amazing from meeting to pickup. She communicated so well while we were away from our doggo. She sent several pictures a day and kept us updated on how her days were going. She event sent us home with a special doggo treat, photo sticker and a doggie report card. The sweetest touches. Thank you again Sarah!”

“Huw and Jolynne took wonderful care of my two dogs while I was out of town. It was clear that they love dogs and want to make them feel at home. They were super responsive and provided updates throughout the week. Would highly recommend them to take care of your fur babies.”

“Trey was amazing, reliable and accommodating! She picked up our pup from the airport, he stayed with her a couple nights and brought him back to the airport for his final ride home! We are so grateful for her knowledge and attention to detail. She also sent us lots of pics/videos to keep us connected/informed.”

“Lindsey was great! My dog felt right at home with her two pups and was well taken care of. Looking forward to having Lindsey watch her in the future when I need a dog sitter.”

“Julie was awesome again. Finn had a great time. She always provides lots of pictures and was able to help my puppy through a bought of diarrhea while I was out of town. When I went to open the car door to load Finn up and go home after his stay, he ran back to their front door, sat down, and looked at me wanting to get back to his friends :). I will definitely reserve time with them again when I need it.”

“Justin was an amazing match for our pup and took wonderful care of him. We greatly appreciated his flexibility, responsiveness, and the updates he shared while we were away. We would absolutely recommend booking with him and hope to use his services again in the future. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pup was so well cared for.”

“Lisa and Jay took awesome care of my girl. Looks like the first day or two was a bit rough, but she quickly realized life was continuing as it always had. I really appreciated all the fun pictures during my travels and I was so relieved not having to worry about her. I’m sorry orca ate all of Lily’s food, she may have gained a pound or two as you said?😉 thank you again for taking such amazing care of my little Sheba.”

About: Hello! My name is Jenn. I have been pet sitting for over 10 years and have been fostering dogs locally since 2023. My family and I have pet-sat and fostered a wide range of pets; everything from kittens to cats, 8 week old puppies to senior dogs, dogs with little to no experience indoors to seasoned house pets. We currently have two cats, a dog, and chickens. I work from home, so I am able to spend most of the day with your furbaby. You can trust me to follow your rules and instructions carefully and fully. I also make it a priority to ensure pets get the exercise and stimulation they need. When taking care of other people’s animals, I send lots of photos and videos. I want you to feel comfortable and confident leaving your pets in my care. Please reach out if you have any questions! I work part time from home, meaning I am available to treat your pets like I treat my own. My pets are spoiled, but with foundational rules. For dogs - have a fenced-in yard for safe pottying. I have a friendly adult female dog - spayed, and two well-behaved cats. I have local trails available where I exercise my own dog. I typically have the dogs I sit sleep in a crate overnight, so I would love to know your dog's experience with crating. Also, since I have cats and chickens, I cannot accommodate a dog with a heavy prey-drive. For cats, I have an unused bedroom set up as a private suite, that my own pets do not have access to. This room has a window and plenty of cat-napping options. I live on a quiet street. I am available to give your cat as much attention as they desire.

About: I love animals and being able to help you with your pet care needs. I would love spending some of that time on your canine companions or feline friend. I have owned dogs and cats with a variety of personalities and concerns and love them all. My dogs have ranged in age from one to twenty and eight pound an to eighty. Every pet is unique and special. I have watched dogs and cats off and on for friends and family for more than ten years. I have also raised small animals and reptiles. I am friendly but firm and will treat your furry friend like my own. They will get lots of love, exercise, and petting. Please give me a chance to win over your pet. I am a teacher so busy during the school year and mostly free during the summer. During the school year I am available evenings and weekends. I have two fenced yards. A small one connected to the house with a dog door and a bigger one. I have chickens who live in the bigger one during the summer. I am not currently having doggie visitors overnight as my cats don't like it.
About: I've had pets my whole life! Mostly rescues, always with their own quirks and needs, and I've learned a lot along the way about helping them settle into a new space and feel safe. Being a therapist, I'm tuned in to the little cues animals give off, so I tend to pick up on what a nervous or shy pet needs before they even show it. I'm the auntie to many of my friends furry babies. I also love getting creative with how I engage with animals. I make my own enrichment activities to keep pets mentally stimulated. At home, I've got a Shetland Sheepdog who's an absolute angel- my adventure buddy. Your pup will be in great company. My partner and I both work from home, so pet care fits naturally into our day. That means your pet won't be alone for long stretches. I can offer regular breaks, walks, and check-ins throughout the day, and I'm nearby if anything comes up. It also makes scheduling easy. Because my partner and I work from home, your pet gets consistent attention and company throughout the day. My home is a safe, comfortable space where pets can settle in and relax. I stick closely to your pet's usual routine so things feel as familiar as possible while they're with me. We have a small fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and play, plus a secure balcony pets have easy access to for fresh air throughout the day.

About: I’m currently taking some time at home between careers, so I have plenty of time and attention to give your pup! I have a sweet, well mannered two year old pup named Levi who loves making new friends. We enjoy two walks a day, plenty of indoor playtime, and lots of cuddles. I also cared for dogs while I was in college, and it brought me so much joy so I’d love to start doing it again! I’m home throughout the day, so I can easily tailor my schedule to your pet’s routine and needs. I typically only leave for a hour or so a few times a week to go to run errands or pickup groceries so your pup will receive plenty of attention, and playtime! I have a fully fenced yard where we can safely play and enjoy the fresh air, as well as a deck where we love to relax together in the evenings. Inside, there is a comfy couch, or your pup is welcome get cozy on one of the many dog beds and blankets throughout the house.
About: With a strong background in working and high-drive dogs—especially German Shepherds—I bring a structured, intentional approach to pet care. I’ve raised and trained multiple dogs through advanced obedience and sport foundations, with a focus on clear communication, calm handling, and routine. My experience has shown me that not every dog thrives in chaotic daycare environments, which is why I prioritize individualized care, low-stress transitions, and purposeful engagement. Whether your dog needs stability, mental stimulation, or simply a quiet, well-managed space, they’ll be handled with the same level of consistency and respect I expect for my own dogs. Pet care is built into my daily routine from start to finish—it’s not something I squeeze in, it’s something I structure my day around. Mornings begin early with kennel checks, potty rotations, feeding, and a calm reset for the day. Throughout the day, I run scheduled rotations for exercise, engagement, and rest, ensuring each dog gets individual attention without overstimulation. Evenings include additional potty breaks, wind-down time, and a final check to make sure every dog is settled, clean, and comfortable. This consistent, predictable routine allows me to provide attentive, low-stress care while maintaining a calm and controlled environment for every dog. In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, structured environment designed to reduce stress and provide clarity. Each dog is housed individually and follows a consistent daily routine that includes scheduled potty breaks, feeding, rest, and purposeful engagement. I focus on calm handling, clean transitions, and one-on-one attention rather than group chaos or open play. Dogs are monitored closely throughout the day, and their environment is kept clean, quiet, and predictable. This approach is especially well-suited for working, high-drive, or more sensitive dogs who benefit from structure, routine, and thoughtful care.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs with different ages, personalities, and needs. I have two dogs of my own, including a senior dog and another who has a lifelong injury requiring extra attention and specialized care. Caring for them has taught me to be patient, observant, and attentive to the little things—whether that means adjusting activities, following specific routines, giving extra time and reassurance, or simply knowing when a dog needs to slow down and rest. I understand that every pet is different, and I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. As a work-from-home professional, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. I’m home most of the time, so your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. I enjoy having pets around while I work and can easily incorporate their needs into my day while still maintaining a reliable routine. Whether your pet needs extra attention, a midday walk, medication reminders, or simply someone nearby, I’m able to provide consistent, loving care. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I take that responsibility seriously. I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel secure and at home. I’m attentive to their behavior, routines, and individual needs, and I’m careful to maintain a safe environment both inside and outside the home. My goal is simple: when you’re away, you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and receiving plenty of love and attention.

Dog walking: I do my best to stick to your pets routines. If your dog is on a more structured schedule/obedience, I will keep them on that schedule. I will keep pets crated if told to do so. Walks will always start with greeting/leashing, then we head out for fun! Upon arrival back to your home, pups will get a treat, fresh water, and some love before I leave. Pet photos will be sent to the client after our walk. For house boarding & Doggy Day Care: all pets including my own dog, will always be crated upon leaving the home for their own safety. I will only allow dogs to stay in my home upon meeting the dog first, and making sure they're dog friendly and okay with cats. I prefer to keep only one other dog in my home at a time but will make exceptions for the right dogs/fit. dogs are expected to be well behaved in my home and not have destructive or aggressive habits.
