“Kaitlin and her family took such good care of my girl! I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch her for a week. Communication was excellent and I know she was well taken care of!”
“Amanda sure knows Dogs! Grateful to have met her. I just picked up our girls after a week-long stay and they are happy and healthy. Fantastic!”
“Ashley saved my wedding trip and work travel on short notice after my normal dog sitter canceled on short notice. My dog was happy and in great shape when I picked him up. A+++”
“My two huskies were very happy spending a week with Kiara and her family. They were spoiled with tons of attention and all the couch cuddles they could hope for. Kiara was very communicative, understanding of each dog's preferences, and willing to accommodate needs for my senior dog as well. I would be happy to leave my dogs there again!”
About: In our home we have three trained hunting dogs, two Labradors and an English Cocker Spaniel. I have trained my own dogs for AKC hunt tests, my eldest dog has a Senior Hunter title and my middle boy has his Junior hunter title. I have spent years around boarding kennels and have experience caring for dogs other than my own. I work from home and your dogs will get to hang out with my own during the day. Your doggo can expect to walk and hang out on the back deck with us in the evenings. I work from home and have a flexible routine with my dogs. A typical day includes morning potty, then they hang out with me while I work with potty time during the day as the dogs need it. My dogs typically eat dinner around 6:00 PM, but alternative feeding schedules can be accommodated. After dinner the dogs have two additional potty times before lights out. I walk the dogs at least once per day, although the time varies from day to day. I have a fenced side yard and dogs will be walked to the side yard on a leash. Walks will also occur on leashes. Dogs are crated if I am out of the home. Unless there is a medical or training reason not to, fresh water is provided in their kennels at all time. My dogs may be out on a Halo GPS collar rather than a leash. Boarded dogs must be free of external parasites and communicable disease. I reserve the right to refuse dogs who arrive with flea, lice, or obvious communicable illnesses.
“Olga was a great sitter for my golden! I appreciated the frequent updates and pics, and she seemed happy and tired when I got back. Would definitely recommend!”
“Rufus dog loved his time at Faelyn’s house! Faelyn and her family were so wonderful to our dog! She took the time to meet us before our actual trip so Rufus could sniff around and meet her two dogs. That made us feel extra comfortable and allowed us to drop him off with the utmost confidence that he would be in a safe, caring, loving environment. We will absolutely be contacting Faelyn again the next time we are out of town. 10/10 recommend! Thanks, Faelyn!!”
“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.”
“Sarah was amazing! She sent daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was incredibly attentive and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Iggy absolutely loved his little vacation! He and her pup, Bunny, got along so well. They were adorable. I’ll definitely be booking with Sarah again!”
“Absolutely fantastic... constant communication... Bailey was obviously happy and completely comfortable... and sadly... probably didn't miss us because of how wonderful Jaymie was... HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER”
“Sely is an amazing dog sitter, she is very communicative, and sends lots of pictures and videos! Kane had so much fun at her house, he came home very happy and very much tired from lots of playing!”
“Ramona was seriously really great. We could tell she and her family were genuinely happy to have our dog Murphy at their home for a few days. We received several updates and pictures of Murphy. Murphy didn’t want to leave when we picked him up! We will absolutely be using Ramona in the future.”
“They were amazing with Loki. He did great with their family and their other pets. They loved him just as much as we love him if I ever needed another dog sitter I’ll definitely go back to them and I will definitely recommend them to anybody else that needs one.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Zhenya, was very accommodating for my large GSD. She has a large backyard for him to roam around in and she was nice enough to send updates each day. The plus side the big pup seems happy.”
“Tanner took good care of my family member and kept me in the loop about his goings on. Sent a photo too. He was quite responsive to my needs - a death in the family required an 11th hour booking. I appreciate him coming though in a pinch.”
“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.”

Cat caregivers near you - Chugiak
“We connected with Dorian for the first time recently, and are delighted to report that everything worked out well. Dorian stayed at our house for a week while taking care of our 2 kitties. He met both cats prior to our trip, and they (the cats) approved. All indications are that he was able to make friends with them despite the fact that they have been leary of strangers. They enjoy a catdoor, which they use extensively, and he was here for them even when they weren't around. Communiation with Dorian was strong and the house was left in very good condition Although our cats were very happy to have us back, they didn't appear to be stressed, as opposed to their reaction to some other sitters we have had. We will definitely contact Dorian again when the occasion arises. Hopefully he'll still be available.”
“Selena was incredible! She was attentive and caring for our kitties. She responded promptly and was very flexible with scheduling. I would absolutely love to have her again and highly recommend !!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have two corgis of my own, Chimi and Churro, so caring for pups is just part of my everyday life. They’re my little adventure buddies, and we love being outside together, going on walks, exploring trails, and soaking up fresh air. Because I’m used to handling my own energetic dogs daily, I’m comfortable with all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn energy, playtime, or slower, gentle care, I’m happy to match their pace and routine. My goal is lots of love, exercise, and a very happy dog. Im currently working at a dental office Monday-Thursday 9am-5:30pm. So I’m available most weekdays if you need a quick walk or drop-ins, if not I'm available Friday-Sunday with whatever pet needs you may have! In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and treat your space like my own. I make sure pets feel calm and comfortable by keeping their environment familiar and stress-free. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. On walks, dogs are always leashed and closely supervised. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions to keep things consistent and stress-free.
“Easy to contact and arrange meet up a few days before leaving; not to recommend last minute booking. Maurina took notes of verbal instructions and asked important questions. She followed through with just as requested. Maurina understands cat needs. She used good judgement, and was a pleasure to meet.”
“Tim did a great job caring for our fur babies. He kept us informed on how they were doing and followed our care instructions perfectly. So glad to have found someone to care for them when we are gone.”
“Katie was great with our cats and made us feel at ease. She was very professional and timely timely and kept us updated! I highly recommend working with Katie!”
“We’ve booked with Mikayla so many times, we’ve lost count. She’s incredible with both cats and dogs. She always sends loads of updates with photos. Also very accommodating and flexible. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! I have taken care of cats for a long time! I have 2 cats of my own and worked as a vet tech assistant in a veterinary clinic. I have plenty of experience pilling cats and making sure they are safe and comfortable. I have a lot of stray cats around my house that I love to take care of and watch over.
“Had a great experience with Ashley. She provided daily interactive pictures and was very responsive to messages. Would highly recommend Ashley.”
“Lindsey was fantastic! She followed our instructions and requests flawlessly, kept everything very clean and tidy, was very communicative, and did a great job playing with and loving on our little guy. Truly couldn’t have asked for better 😊”
About: I truly focus on keeping pets comfortable by caring for them right in their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I have a flexible part-time schedule, so I can give your pets plenty of attention and stick closely to their routines. I’m patient, confident, and experienced with a variety of temperaments—from playful puppies to shy or anxious dogs. My own dog is well-behaved, which has helped me learn how to reinforce good manners and calmly handle different situations. I treat every pet like they’re my own and pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and fully committed to giving your pets the best possible care. Because I work part-time, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to focus on your pets throughout the day. I’m available most afternoons and evenings during the week, along with full availability on weekends for boarding or drop-ins. Your pet’s routine will always be my priority. I have one well-behaved dog at home, but most of the care I provide will be in your home so your pets can stay in their familiar environment. I always follow your instructions for feeding, routines, and house rules, and I take the time to make sure each pet feels safe and relaxed. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.
About: Since I was 9, I have house/pet sat for countless neighbors and friends. Dogs/cats/birds/fish/hamsters/Guinea pigs/bunnies/lizards - the list goes on! I have a sweet, very active 3 yr old doodle who loves all animals/humans. I spoil animals and am “that person” that will ask to play with your dog when we cross paths 😊 Although I have only ever operated through word of mouth, I am new to the area so am here to build my clientele! Let’s connect!! As of May ‘26, I can be home full time. For boarding/daycare, I do prefer pets that have minimal to no shedding. If in your home, I’m open to any and all! :) I treat your pets just as you would - or better. It’s what I would want for mine. I’m flexible and will do anything you prefer, whether it’s using a crate, being strict with leashes (especially if they’re an escape artist), specific food/med schedules, etc. I am highly experienced with security systems, caring for homes, and watching out for issues like unlocked doors/leaks/etc. I take detailed notes and make sure to stay in contact - and I am not afraid to ask questions! As of May ‘26 - I am home full time! Dogs must be kenneled while I am gone. I’m open to puppies but they need to be pretty well trained (I.e. potty & crate) as I have a dog as well! My #1 priority is making sure pets are safe and secure at all times. Depending on the location, dogs are either leashed or fenced in - ALWAYS! I grew up with escape artist dogs so I learned the “do’s and don’ts” pretty quick :) I do my research on toys/bones and always monitor the pet while they’re “busy.” Animals are my best friends and I do everything I can to make sure they’re 100% safe, well taken care of, and HAPPY! That being said, I do highly prefer minimal to no shedding depending on the size of the dog and the situation.
“Michael, is an amazing dog sitter. He kept me informed on how the dogs were doing each time he dropped by. He sent me videos and photos of my “puppies.” My dogs instantly liked him and thoroughly enjoyed his company. I would highly recommend him to take care of your pets and I will be using him again.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Chugiak
“Ashley is a dime a dozen! My pup loves visiting Ashley and her fur babies. She is so kind and understanding when unexpected things come up and will work with you however she can. If you need someone to watch your babies she is definitely the perfect person! If I could give more than a 5 star I would.”
“Zhenya’s house is set up to be the ultimate pet resort! Left my dog there for daycare and he was well taken care of. Zhenya’s is a professional and you can definitely depend on her!”
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.
“Sage took wonderful care of Ollie who needed a quiet, loving environment while we went to dinner and a show. She showed great sensitivity to his special needs (he is recovering from surgery), and was very reassuring and professional with us throughout the process. We will definitely call upon Sage the next time we are in Ashland.”
“Faelyn was very careful with introducing my shy, reluctant dog to her two dogs. My dog loved playing in the large fenced in yard with her dogs and was welcomed like one of the family. I hope to use her services again.”
“Chelsea was amazing! Our dog is a big ball of energy and she handled him like a champ! We got updates with pictures and videos of Lefty playing in the huge yard with their dog, Tok and even the cat! He came home happy as can be! Thank you again!”
“Sharon has had our dog Sheldon for an overnight and doggy day care. Each time Sheldon has come home so happy, we can tell he really loves his stays at their home! Very thankful to have someone we feel comfortable leaving our pup with!”
About: I’ve owned animals all my life We have a large area and would love to make the fur babies fell welcome why Mom and Dad are gone. I’m retired and have every day and evening to take care of fur babies I love giving love and comfort while Mom and Dad are gone I’m retired and would enjoy doing care for animals I’m have a full day to care for them I did DayCare for 20 plus years and I miss caring
“Very appreciative of Trey's care for my dog! My dog Willow can be quite loud but she had a great day with her canine friends and I'm grateful for the patience she was shown.”
About: I’ve had cats most of my life but have also had dogs, fish, birds, hamsters, mice, and guinea pigs! Spiders are the only pets I can’t handle. I’m currently unemployed and haven’t been able to find full time work due to the bus driver strike. So, Monday-Friday I take my high schooler to and from school and am free to take care of people’s fur babies all day and night! I love animals and treat them as my fur babies! I spoil them with attention and make sure they are well taken care of and happy!
About: I have been caring for pets for my entire life. Knowing that your baby is as important to you as mine is to me, I will care for your furry friend as I would hope someone would care for my own baby. I’m looking to build my care community and availability so I will be able to help when needed. Currently Saturday and Sunday are fully available. Monday-Friday is mostly open with a few instances where I don’t have flexibility. I will care for your fluffy friends either at your home if that is your preference, or I can offer short term stays at my home. My preference is to keep animals where they are most comfortable.
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.
“Another wonderful week with Justin! Justin and his family take exceptional care of Felix. Cheerful communication, frequent pupdates, and what’s most reassuring: they are highly attentive to Felix himself, always noticing if he has a new lump or a weight change (realities of the geriatric doggie phase). So grateful for the care and attention Justin and his family give Felix. They tell me he’s “like part of the family”; could a dog-mom working long hours dream of anything more for her beloved old pup?! Thank you thank you to Justin and his family for the excellent care they give Felix. 10/5 stars! :)”
About: My name is Cameron, and I’m a dog trainer offering personalized training and boarding services designed around the unique needs of each dog. I take a thoughtful, intentional approach prioritizing structure, environment, and overall well-being so every dog in my care feels safe, understood, and set up to succeed. No two dogs are the same, which is why I tailor each stay to match their temperament, behavior, and needs whether that means building reliable obedience, working through behavioral challenges, or enjoying a balanced and structured day-to-day life. When dogs stay with me for boarding, they’re not just being watched they’re cared for with purpose. Each dog follows a structured daily routine that includes exercise, enrichment, rest, and play, all adjusted to their individual energy level and personality. I’m very intentional about creating a calm, controlled environment, whether a dog thrives in a social setting or needs more one-on-one time and space. A big part of my program includes getting dogs out into the real world in a safe and structured way. We incorporate long walks, hikes, and adventure-style pack walks to build confidence, improve behavior in new environments, and allow dogs to decompress in a healthy, fulfilling way. These outings aren’t just for exercise they’re intentional training opportunities that help dogs learn how to exist calmly and neutrally around new sights, smells, and distractions. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of dogs, from police K9s and sport dogs to beloved family pets and rescue cases. That experience allows me to confidently adapt to different drives, temperaments, and challenges. At the end of the day, my focus is on building clear communication, confidence, and trust so both you and your dog feel supported every step of the way. For the past four years, I have immersed myself in working with dogs across various fields, from pet dogs to police K9s and protection dogs. This diverse experience has enriched my skills and deepened my passion for canine care and training. My part-time job provides me with the flexibility to dedicate ample time to these incredible animals, allowing me to focus on their training, well-being, and development. This journey has been immensely rewarding, fostering a profound connection with each dog and enhancing my expertise in handling and training them. Ensuring the safety and well-being of dogs in my care is my top priority. I implement strict safety protocols, including secure environments, proper nutrition, regular health check-ups, and personalized training programs tailored to each dog's needs. I vigilantly monitor their behavior to prevent any potential issues and provide a nurturing atmosphere that promotes their physical and emotional health. By fostering a routine that balances exercise, socialization, and rest, I create a harmonious environment where each dog can thrive safely and happily.
About: I have 20 experience taking care of pets, from small rodents and reptiles to large breed dogs. I have an occupational endorsement for veterinary technicians assisting from MSCU. I foster cats and dogs for local Rescues. I have a small zoo at my house that includes chickens, rabbits, cats, and dog and several reptiles. So I am open to care for more than just your dogs and cats. I am a SAHM of 3 children(ages, 12, 15, and 19) and 20 plus pets, including our fish & chickens😁. Looking to add some income doing what I love most. Caring for animals. I have a large home to accommodate pets of many varieties and sizes. I have a large yard with a heavily wooded area surrounding the rear and lined by a fence on one side and a large hill on the other side. I have experience in emergency care for pets if ever needed. I frequently foster pregnant cats and dogs so they have a safe space to deliver and care for their litter’s until we can find them living forever homes.
About: What sets me apart is my depth of hands-on experience caring for dogs with many different personalities, temperaments, and needs. I’m very comfortable managing multiple dogs, reading body language, and creating a calm environment where dogs feel safe and settle in quickly. I have experience with puppies, including potty routines, crate training foundations, and helping young dogs adjust to new environments. I’m also attentive to senior dogs and those who may need a slower pace, medication, or extra comfort and supervision. Because dogs are such a big part of my daily life, I naturally pay attention to safety, structure, and individual needs. I understand how to introduce dogs carefully to new spaces, prevent overstimulation, and maintain routines so they feel secure while their owners are away. I only accept one household at a time, which allows me to provide personalized care, close supervision, and plenty of attention. My goal is always for dogs to feel relaxed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for-not just watched. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m home frequently throughout the day and dogs are already a central part of my life. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I plan my schedule around the dogs in my care so they aren’t left alone for long periods. I’m able to maintain feeding routines, exercise, and quiet rest time so they feel comfortable and settled. Because I only accept one household at a time, I can focus on their individual needs and make sure they receive personalized care throughout the day. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I create a calm, structured environment where dogs can settle in and feel secure. I only accept one household of dogs at a time, which allows me to provide close supervision and individualized attention without overcrowding or unnecessary stress. I introduce dogs to new spaces gradually and pay close attention to body language, behavior, and comfort levels so I can adjust care to their needs. Dogs have access to comfortable resting areas, regular potty breaks, and supervised outdoor time in a secure space. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, routines, medications, and exercise to maintain consistency. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for during each visit, and I provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident while they are away. My goal is always to create a safe, low stress experience where pets feel relaxed and owners feel complete peace of mind.

About: Been feeling stressed about your dog cooped up at home? Want your cat to judge a new caretaker in their life? Look no further! I come from an agriculture background, which has allowed me to care for all kinds of pets. Most importantly, I’ve cared for cats & dogs during all their life stages. From puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats — I know what it takes to administer love and care during all developmental stages of life! My heart is full when I get to see either a happy dog tail-wag or a purrfectly content cat make biscuits.

About: I am a HUGE animal lover! I have had dogs all my life and currently have 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 lizards, and 1 tortoise with one of the dogs being on a lot of medication. I also worked as a vet tech assistant so I have a lot of experience medically with animals! I am a full time student but I am happy to make time for your animal. Most weekends I am completely free and I have time between classes to drop in or take your dog on a walk! I have house sat for many years growing up. I have many references that I have gone back to for many years. I am happy to come over whenever you want me there, whether it be all day or just dropping in!
About: Hi, I’m Sarah and I’m a lifelong Alaskan. I have a small dog of my own that will welcome your best friend as one of the pack! I grew up with pets, I’ve attended dog behavioral training and first aid courses, and there’s never been a time in my life when I didn’t have a dog. I have a fenced property with a big yard in a convenient midtown location. We’d love to have your dog stay with us! I am now home and dog sitting full-time every day. I can accommodate almost any schedule necessary and can work with your needs for drop off and pick up. I have a fenced property with a large yard for your dog to enjoy. Typically I don’t use crates unless requested by the owner and your pet is welcome to make themself at home. I also love taking photos so you can expect lots of pics of your pup while they’re staying with us.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends and family. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I make sure every animal gets plenty of exercise, affection, playtime, and care while their family is away. I love creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for every animal I watch. I am great with any communication requests/requirements and I hope to help make this process easy and smooth :) As a General Manager in retail, I have a very flexible schedule and am able to create my own work hours. I can adjust my day as needed and take breaks when necessary, making it easy for me to return home for feeding times, potty breaks, exercise, and general care. My schedule typically ranges between the hours of 9am to 9:30pm, but I have the flexibility to structure those hours around the needs of my pet. I worked in child care for a couple years and I am the oldest four siblings. I also grew up with our family dog named Pookah. While I understand that caring for humans and dogs are different, I have experience caring for others with the upmost respect, care, kindness, and patience. I love taking walks and getting outside. Overall, I strive to create a very warm and fun environment for any pet I care for.
“First time using this service and was super happy with the results! Our boy was nervous at first and it was our first time being away from him. Come the second visit, he was ready to go and happy to see Lindsey! Thanks so much ☺️”
“Tim did such a great job with my dog Kiska. He played ball with her the entire time he was here, making her one happy dog! Tim was great with communication and I will definitely be using him again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I have puppy sat for a couple years now. I love all animals and I’m very physically fit to take care of them. I can’t have a puppy of my own right now so I love taking care and spending time with them when I can. I’m available 24/7 right now. Animals can’t stay at my place, but I am free to stay with them overnight or whatever is needed. I can stay weekends as well. I can stay with the Dog/pup 24/7. I can stay overnight, take them on walks, any kind of care that is needed I can take care of.
About: Spreading love and care to my community is a privilege I take seriously. I’ll take care of any animal as if they were my own. I’m available daily to care for any pet needs. I’m available during the week and weekends. Let me know your pets needs and I’ll be happy to provide loving care. My past pets are spoiled rotten. Your fur babies will be too. All fur babies will be nurtured and cared for to a T as if they were my own.
“Sharika is great with my 5-month old Samoyed puppy who can be very disobedient and stubborn at times. She is incredibly accommodating in terms of walk times, and is flexible which I sincerely appreciate. Would recommend Sharika 100%!”
About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician with many years of experience in the veterinary field and a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, giving me a strong background in animal care and behavior. I have raised and cared for dogs for over 20 years and love playing, walking, pottying, and spending quality time with them. I am also trained to help animals in emergency situations. My dog, Pico de Gallo, is the love of my life, and I would treat your dog/cat/animal with the same care, patience, and love as if they were my own. I work for myself, so any animal that needs care would be worked into my schedule. I can do stop-ins, walks, play time, anything that is needed for your pets to be taken care of. As my calendar fills up, I ensure the times requested for pets come first before overloading my schedule. I would take care of pets in my clients' homes. I would do potty breaks and ensure the house was not used. I would take the dogs for walks and play with them to burn off some energy before bringing them back home, if the owner allowed it. I would also feed and make sure they drank water before I left, updating the owner on how they are doing. Otherwise, I would utilize the spaces given to me ( a fenced yard, etc.). For cats, I would check in on them and make sure they are fed and watered. i would play with them with their toys and then update their owner on how they are doing.

“Kaitlin and her family took such good care of my girl! I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch her for a week. Communication was excellent and I know she was well taken care of!”
“Ashley saved my wedding trip and work travel on short notice after my normal dog sitter canceled on short notice. My dog was happy and in great shape when I picked him up. A+++”
“My two huskies were very happy spending a week with Kiara and her family. They were spoiled with tons of attention and all the couch cuddles they could hope for. Kiara was very communicative, understanding of each dog's preferences, and willing to accommodate needs for my senior dog as well. I would be happy to leave my dogs there again!”
About: In our home we have three trained hunting dogs, two Labradors and an English Cocker Spaniel. I have trained my own dogs for AKC hunt tests, my eldest dog has a Senior Hunter title and my middle boy has his Junior hunter title. I have spent years around boarding kennels and have experience caring for dogs other than my own. I work from home and your dogs will get to hang out with my own during the day. Your doggo can expect to walk and hang out on the back deck with us in the evenings. I work from home and have a flexible routine with my dogs. A typical day includes morning potty, then they hang out with me while I work with potty time during the day as the dogs need it. My dogs typically eat dinner around 6:00 PM, but alternative feeding schedules can be accommodated. After dinner the dogs have two additional potty times before lights out. I walk the dogs at least once per day, although the time varies from day to day. I have a fenced side yard and dogs will be walked to the side yard on a leash. Walks will also occur on leashes. Dogs are crated if I am out of the home. Unless there is a medical or training reason not to, fresh water is provided in their kennels at all time. My dogs may be out on a Halo GPS collar rather than a leash. Boarded dogs must be free of external parasites and communicable disease. I reserve the right to refuse dogs who arrive with flea, lice, or obvious communicable illnesses.
“Olga was a great sitter for my golden! I appreciated the frequent updates and pics, and she seemed happy and tired when I got back. Would definitely recommend!”
“Rufus dog loved his time at Faelyn’s house! Faelyn and her family were so wonderful to our dog! She took the time to meet us before our actual trip so Rufus could sniff around and meet her two dogs. That made us feel extra comfortable and allowed us to drop him off with the utmost confidence that he would be in a safe, caring, loving environment. We will absolutely be contacting Faelyn again the next time we are out of town. 10/10 recommend! Thanks, Faelyn!!”
“They were amazing with Loki. He did great with their family and their other pets. They loved him just as much as we love him if I ever needed another dog sitter I’ll definitely go back to them and I will definitely recommend them to anybody else that needs one.”
“Zhenya, was very accommodating for my large GSD. She has a large backyard for him to roam around in and she was nice enough to send updates each day. The plus side the big pup seems happy.”
“Tanner took good care of my family member and kept me in the loop about his goings on. Sent a photo too. He was quite responsive to my needs - a death in the family required an 11th hour booking. I appreciate him coming though in a pinch.”
“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 is completely awesome. I had an urgent trip to go on and he took me in right away and was very flexible with me on bringing my pups in. He watched them for 5 days and he made sure my pups were being good. He sent daily updates on and pictures. I would highly recommend Justin!”
About: My name is Cameron, and I’m a dog trainer offering personalized training and boarding services designed around the unique needs of each dog. I take a thoughtful, intentional approach prioritizing structure, environment, and overall well-being so every dog in my care feels safe, understood, and set up to succeed. No two dogs are the same, which is why I tailor each stay to match their temperament, behavior, and needs whether that means building reliable obedience, working through behavioral challenges, or enjoying a balanced and structured day-to-day life. When dogs stay with me for boarding, they’re not just being watched they’re cared for with purpose. Each dog follows a structured daily routine that includes exercise, enrichment, rest, and play, all adjusted to their individual energy level and personality. I’m very intentional about creating a calm, controlled environment, whether a dog thrives in a social setting or needs more one-on-one time and space. A big part of my program includes getting dogs out into the real world in a safe and structured way. We incorporate long walks, hikes, and adventure-style pack walks to build confidence, improve behavior in new environments, and allow dogs to decompress in a healthy, fulfilling way. These outings aren’t just for exercise they’re intentional training opportunities that help dogs learn how to exist calmly and neutrally around new sights, smells, and distractions. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of dogs, from police K9s and sport dogs to beloved family pets and rescue cases. That experience allows me to confidently adapt to different drives, temperaments, and challenges. At the end of the day, my focus is on building clear communication, confidence, and trust so both you and your dog feel supported every step of the way. For the past four years, I have immersed myself in working with dogs across various fields, from pet dogs to police K9s and protection dogs. This diverse experience has enriched my skills and deepened my passion for canine care and training. My part-time job provides me with the flexibility to dedicate ample time to these incredible animals, allowing me to focus on their training, well-being, and development. This journey has been immensely rewarding, fostering a profound connection with each dog and enhancing my expertise in handling and training them. Ensuring the safety and well-being of dogs in my care is my top priority. I implement strict safety protocols, including secure environments, proper nutrition, regular health check-ups, and personalized training programs tailored to each dog's needs. I vigilantly monitor their behavior to prevent any potential issues and provide a nurturing atmosphere that promotes their physical and emotional health. By fostering a routine that balances exercise, socialization, and rest, I create a harmonious environment where each dog can thrive safely and happily.
“Our dog seemed to enjoy her stay. Great yard for play, and neighborhood for walks. Kaitlin gave great updates during the stay and was flexible with us for drop off and pick up.”
“Kassandra was amazing with our dogs. She took the time to introduce them to her, then her home, and then her dogs so they felt comfortable and safe. We can’t wait to use her again!”
“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.”
“Mia was amazing with both of our pups. She provided frequent updates for us so we knew what they were doing. She was very patient and understanding of our youngest dog who we now have confirmed has separation anxiety. She is also very perceptive to dog behavior and encourages a pack mentality. We would absolutely recommend her and use her again.”
“Nari was happy and healthy with Paula. She kept me informed as he was adjusting to being with her. Nari comes to work with me every day and hangs out in the car when I'm at work. Paula did the same with him to keep it as normal for him as possible. Will definitely re-book with her in the future.”
“Excellent excellent! Sharon and Mike went above and beyond to make my shy (not fully trained) puppy feel at home. They provided video updates and were very professional and easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend them to all of my friends”
