“Hannah went above and beyond taking care of our pup! We booked very last minute and she didn’t mind at all. She sent many pictures, videos, and updates throughout the day. Our pup loved playing with her dogs as well! I felt very confident when she showed me around, she has a very safe environment complete with lots of doggy toys! 😉 She was also very flexible with drop off and pick up time! Would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”
“First time ever leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, and she made me feel really comfortable trusting her with my boy and she did a splendid job of updating me and communicating with me.”
“Julissa is a wonderful dog sitter. She thoroughly read Danti’s feeding instructions and play time notes and double-checked with us before leaving him. She ensured we felt comfortable with her home and set up. Her home is wonderfully set up to care for dogs/animals, you can tell this is not her first rodeo. While away, she kept us informed daily of happenings and handled anything that came up with our pup—and our dog is no perfect angel but she handled every curve ball he threw. Julissa was also very flexible with us regarding pick-up times and understanding of our personal situations for which I am grateful. Once we picked up our dog, he seemed happy and energized and I could tell he enjoyed his stay as well. I would definitely recommend Julissa to anyone for future dog sitting. I hope to be able to rebook her myself.”
“My dog had an amazing time and I was kept updated with lots of pictures throughout his stay, Will definitely stay again!! would recommend to anyone who’s dogs love to play!”
“Francisca was amazing. We traveled from Memphis, TN to Hot Springs AR. To enjoy a day at the waterpark. She was very kind enough to meet us to pick up our fur babies to help us save time and gas. Thank you so much and I hope we criss paths again!”
“We were very lucky to find Lesa to watch our chocolate lab, Hank. For the seven days we were gone, I knew that he was taken care of and did not have to stress. Lesa sent us daily reports and pictures of Hank to keep us informed. Hank was even able to make some doggy pals in her labradoodles, Max and Skootch. Even though we did not come back until late to pick Hank up, she offered to meet us halfway because she knew we would be tired after a long day of traveling which was great. She is definitely a dog lover and we will surely be using her again for our next vacation. To add to that, the best rate! ”
“Marci is great! I’m a travel nurse and I got stuck at work a snowstorm. Marci was super accommodating and my pups were well cared for while I was away. Thanks!”
“Me. Joanne was so kind and patient with my poodle. My dog adapted to Ms. Joanne and safe environment like he knew her for years. She also kept us updated with pictures and letting us know how our dog was doing. We will definitely utilize her services in the future.”
“Madison is awesome. She sent us pictures almost every day of our vacation. We were extremely impressed with her care and compassion for our babies. We'll definitely be boarding with Madison again!”
About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for high-needs, large-breed dogs. I’ve owned and managed a giant breed with specific behavioral and care needs, so I understand how to handle dogs that require extra patience, structure, and attention. I am very comfortable reinforcing training, including basic commands, boundaries, and consistency with routines. I know how important it is to maintain the rules and expectations you’ve set for your pet, not undo them. I am also attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs, whether that means providing calm companionship, structured activity, or simply making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits into my routine primarily on weekends, when I have the time to provide focused, attentive care. I already structure my days around caring for my own pets, so I am very comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, routines, and giving pets the attention they need. Because I work full time and attend school during the week, my availability is limited to weekends for dogs but can do daily cat drop-ins. During that time, I am reliable, consistent, and able to give pets quality care through drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and check-ins. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and needs. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on maintaining consistency with feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, exercise, and any specific instructions you provide. I also make sure pets get attention and interaction, not just the basics, so they feel comfortable while you’re away. In my home, I provide a structured but relaxed environment. My own dog follows a routine with scheduled feeding, playtime, and rest, including crate time for sleeping, so I am comfortable maintaining similar routines for other dogs if needed. Dogs in my care have time to be active, as well as space to rest and feel secure. I am also experienced with administering daily medications and am comfortable caring for pets with additional needs. Whether I am in your home or mine, my goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible.
“Dominique was a fabulous and very responsive host! We can definitely tell our baby enjoyed his time and was well cared for! We will definitely trust Dominique again when we’re in town!”
“Amber was able to accommodate us with a last minute request. This was our second time to have our dog stay with her. He does well with Amber. I would definitely recommend Amber to anyone needing dog boarding services.”
“Charlene and her family made sure Ember felt right at home! She loved it and she was well entertained including playtime and walks. I would definitely book with them again!”
“Madi did an amazing job booarding my little Peanut! I was incredibly nervous leaving him while while going on vacation, but she did a great job with updating and sending pictures! I truly felt like they enjoyed having my pup! I will be continuing to use her in the future!”
“Ranee is fabulous. She treats our puppy just like she is her own. I never worry when we need to leave her with Ranee. I also like that she shares lots of pics while we are gone...very comforting.”

“Aulelei is so sweet and kind to our babies! She kept us well informed about our cats and sent lots of photos. Our cats seem to really love her, even our shy kitty. We've booked her twice and would definitely book again!”
“Rebecca was so great watching my cat for me while I was on vacation. I felt totally comfortable and didn't have to worry one bit! She sent lots of pictures just like I asked. Would absolutely recommend and will be using again!”
“Amanda was absolutely phenomenal! I was so worried about leaving my babies at home for a last-minute trip, as some of them are a little skittish, but within the first day or so, they all warmed up to her and were waiting for her cuddles and attention. I can’t recommend her enough — she went above and beyond, and comes with plenty of experience with both cats and dogs with varying temperaments. 🐶🐈⬛🐕🐾 (She also sent lots of great photos!)”
“We left the Country for two weeks and Madison came home to take care of our 4 pets. She did all the instructions given and was so careful and lovely to our babies. We are totally satisfied of her job, it has been so efficient and good. We recommend her to the people who have to leave their pets under care of pets' services. We are very thankful with Madison R.”
About: What sets me apart is my understanding that cats are very particular about their space and boundaries. I have experience caring for a very independent, almost feral-leaning cat, so I am comfortable giving cats the time and distance they need to feel safe and in control. At the same time, I love building trust with cats on their terms. I am patient and attentive, and I enjoy those moments when a cat decides they are ready for attention and affection. Whether your cat prefers to observe from a distance or curl up for cuddles, I will meet them where they are and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.
“We used Tristin for the second time and had as equally good experience as the first. We have a senior kitty and we worry about her but felt confident she would be well cared for while we were away. It’s so nice to not have to worry. Tristin is responsible and trustworthy, seems to love animals.”
“Samantha was referred to us and helped take care of our 4 indoor/outdoor cats for a week wheeled we were out of town. She agreed to meet our neighbor who showed her our cat routine and took great care of them during our absence. She took in some errant mail, made sure they always had fresh water and cleaned the litter boxes while sharing lots of photos and video updates. Thanks again for fitting us into your schedule!!!”
About: I can administer medications. Ear drops, topical, oral, and injections (I am a Registered Nurse). I can also bottle feed for those who are kitten rescuers/fosters like myself. I deep clean my own litter boxes once a week. So if that’s something you’d need done, it can be done!
“Tara is awesome with our dog! Very easy to work with and made our vacation a lot better by taking care and sending pictures of our dog! We will be using her as long as she is available!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have had my own for 6 years. I also have 2 cats I took in off the street. I've had high maintenance and nearly untrainable dogs. I currently have a regularly medicated bulldog. I also semi regularly do house/puppy sitting for family friends with a 110 pound American Bully. No animal is too stubborn or rowdy for me. I truly believe animals just need compassion to have a connection. I changed careers to have a more stable home life, which I needed. But it definitely created a lack of passion in my life. Id love to have the opportunity to do something I love. I work overnight, with frequent travel. But have most availability Friday through monday. With occasional weekdays, travel pending. I treat both animals and houses as if they were my own. My dog is my best friend and my baby, I couldnt imagine treating someone else's as anything less. I like to keep to myself when in homes, never been one of those people dying to know whats in the medicine cabinet.

I can sit/walk every day of the week with these restrictions: after 5:30pm M-Thurs, after 1pm Fr, anytime Sat-Sun. My husband works remote and can help during weekdays with pets who are needing last minute overnight/longterm care. Every other time is up for discussion! I have only one pet friendly cat living in the home! I can provide food for cats with no restrictions and there will always be treats! I typically spend time getting to know my new furry friend when I am at another house. I like to know their routine and personality so I can adjust to fit their needs!
About: I am a kennel/vet technician, and I have been working in animal care clinics since 2017. I can administer medications and insulin, give baths and toe nail trims, as well as anal glad expression! I am excited to work with your babies! I am available for all services I have listed any day of the week! I can’t wait to build relationships with you and your babies I have a 6ft wooden fenced in back yard, along with three friendly pups of my own. If for any reason they do not get along or if you wish for your babies to be separate from mine, my backyard is separated into two areas, so I can close one gate door and the pups will not see each other !
About: I have had a love for animals my whole life and have cared for a variety of pets, anything from fish to horses. I am honest and trustworthy, I will treat your furbabies as my own. I have a full time job but am able to work around any schedule because of the flexibility in hours. I will typically be available weekends and nights. I currently have one dog, I make his food due to his allergies, he is indoor and just about as spoiled as they come. I also make homemade dog treats that I will bring and share with your pups if you allow it. I can’t wait to meet your babies!
About: I've taken care of pets my entire life, whether it was my pet, a friend's pet or a coworker's pet, I am always excited to love on our furry friends! I want part-time work as an animal caregiver. I will retire June 30, 2025, and will be able to pet sit any day of the week. I provide a safe, comfortable, and happy environment for my babies, and I treat others' pets just like they were mine. They are loved on consistently.
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life. Whenever my friends are out of town I am their first call to watch their fur babies. I currently have a chihuahua/beagle mix so I am well versed in hyper dogs. I am in graduate school but when I am not in class I would love to meet your fur baby/babies! Let me take the stress of a hectic schedule off of your shoulders by making sure your fur babies are taken care of. Safety is my main priority. Before walking or visiting your fur babies I would love to know what their favorite things are and how you comfort them in order to make this a safe and fun experience for everyone.
“Samantha has done a wonderful job visiting the house and pets to go over their needs before she pet sits this coming week while we on vacation. She has alleviated all worries knowing she’ll be there with them!”
“Victoria did so great with my Daisy. She let her out when I was at work and played with her, which I’m sure she enjoyed the exercise and stimulation. She played games with her that I never even knew she was capable of 😂 She loved Daisy like her own, which is important to me. She left me details about their time together which I enjoyed reading about. She was reliable and was able to fit my needs into her schedule. Daisy and I are moving, but wish we could bring Victoria with us! We highly recommend Victoria.”

“Hannah went above and beyond taking care of our pup! We booked very last minute and she didn’t mind at all. She sent many pictures, videos, and updates throughout the day. Our pup loved playing with her dogs as well! I felt very confident when she showed me around, she has a very safe environment complete with lots of doggy toys! 😉 She was also very flexible with drop off and pick up time! Would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”
“First time ever leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, and she made me feel really comfortable trusting her with my boy and she did a splendid job of updating me and communicating with me.”
“Julissa is a wonderful dog sitter. She thoroughly read Danti’s feeding instructions and play time notes and double-checked with us before leaving him. She ensured we felt comfortable with her home and set up. Her home is wonderfully set up to care for dogs/animals, you can tell this is not her first rodeo. While away, she kept us informed daily of happenings and handled anything that came up with our pup—and our dog is no perfect angel but she handled every curve ball he threw. Julissa was also very flexible with us regarding pick-up times and understanding of our personal situations for which I am grateful. Once we picked up our dog, he seemed happy and energized and I could tell he enjoyed his stay as well. I would definitely recommend Julissa to anyone for future dog sitting. I hope to be able to rebook her myself.”
“My dog had an amazing time and I was kept updated with lots of pictures throughout his stay, Will definitely stay again!! would recommend to anyone who’s dogs love to play!”
“Francisca was amazing. We traveled from Memphis, TN to Hot Springs AR. To enjoy a day at the waterpark. She was very kind enough to meet us to pick up our fur babies to help us save time and gas. Thank you so much and I hope we criss paths again!”
“Marci is great! I’m a travel nurse and I got stuck at work a snowstorm. Marci was super accommodating and my pups were well cared for while I was away. Thanks!”
“Me. Joanne was so kind and patient with my poodle. My dog adapted to Ms. Joanne and safe environment like he knew her for years. She also kept us updated with pictures and letting us know how our dog was doing. We will definitely utilize her services in the future.”
“Madison is awesome. She sent us pictures almost every day of our vacation. We were extremely impressed with her care and compassion for our babies. We'll definitely be boarding with Madison again!”
About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for high-needs, large-breed dogs. I’ve owned and managed a giant breed with specific behavioral and care needs, so I understand how to handle dogs that require extra patience, structure, and attention. I am very comfortable reinforcing training, including basic commands, boundaries, and consistency with routines. I know how important it is to maintain the rules and expectations you’ve set for your pet, not undo them. I am also attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs, whether that means providing calm companionship, structured activity, or simply making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits into my routine primarily on weekends, when I have the time to provide focused, attentive care. I already structure my days around caring for my own pets, so I am very comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, routines, and giving pets the attention they need. Because I work full time and attend school during the week, my availability is limited to weekends for dogs but can do daily cat drop-ins. During that time, I am reliable, consistent, and able to give pets quality care through drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and check-ins. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and needs. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on maintaining consistency with feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, exercise, and any specific instructions you provide. I also make sure pets get attention and interaction, not just the basics, so they feel comfortable while you’re away. In my home, I provide a structured but relaxed environment. My own dog follows a routine with scheduled feeding, playtime, and rest, including crate time for sleeping, so I am comfortable maintaining similar routines for other dogs if needed. Dogs in my care have time to be active, as well as space to rest and feel secure. I am also experienced with administering daily medications and am comfortable caring for pets with additional needs. Whether I am in your home or mine, my goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible.

“Amber was able to accommodate us with a last minute request. This was our second time to have our dog stay with her. He does well with Amber. I would definitely recommend Amber to anyone needing dog boarding services.”
“Charlene and her family made sure Ember felt right at home! She loved it and she was well entertained including playtime and walks. I would definitely book with them again!”
“Madi did an amazing job booarding my little Peanut! I was incredibly nervous leaving him while while going on vacation, but she did a great job with updating and sending pictures! I truly felt like they enjoyed having my pup! I will be continuing to use her in the future!”

“Truly appreciative of them taking care of my fur babies…took pics of them everyday and keep me informed of how they were doing…definitely would recommend 😊”
“I can’t thank Asia enough for the amazing care she gave my dog. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. Rambo can be a bit much at first, but Asia went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and at home. She kept me updated with daily photos and messages, showing Rambo relaxing, playing, and getting lots of love. It was clear he wasn’t just being watched—he was being cared for like family. She even noticed his food was getting low and made sure he was still fed, and took the extra time to keep up with his routine. When I picked Rambo up, he was calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. It honestly felt like he had been on a mini vacation of his own. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again with her family—they are reliable, and very kind. Highly recommend 10/10!”
“Jackie and his family were amazing sitters! They took great care of our dog, Barry. He updated us daily with pictures. He truly treats the dogs he watches as family. I never had any concerns leaving Barry with Jackie! 🐶”
