“Tatyanah & Everardo did an awesome job with my Pup Isla!!! My Pup is very timid around other pups, but Tatyanah, Everardo, and their pups made Her feel very welcome. I received videos and pictures throughout the time Isla stayed at their home. I asked them for feedback and tips on how I can get Isla more comfortable around other pups. I would definitely recommend them. Isla will be seeing them soon as I plan to bring Isla back! Thank you Tatyanah and Everardo!”
“Brianne took great care of our 19 month old Bernedoodle, Kona. She and her family welcomed Kona into their home with love and care. We received pictures and updates which put us at ease since this was Kona's first time staying with another family and dog. Our dog even forgot who we were when we returned after 6 days to pick her up. Thanks again, Brianne!”
“Angie was really great. She was easy to communicate with and replied to our messages quickly. She also sent pictures of Parker without being asked to. Would definitely book again in the future! Parker had a great time.”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog lover who understands how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone you trust. I’ll treat your pups like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, including senior dogs and pets who may need extra patience or attention. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, giving medications if needed, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages. I know every pup is different, so I try to match their routine and make their stay as stress free and fun as possible, whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, or just a calm environment to relax in. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I'm mainly a stay at home mom while working remotely a few hours/week so my schedule is very flexible! I'm available for doggy day care, boarding, drop-ins and walks! Our home's living area is a bit small so I understand if that does not work for the bigger dogs! But, as long as they don't mind, we don't mind! We have a fenced yard with a grassy area where your dog can relax outside. There is a small doggy door where the smaller dogs can have independant access to the yard. Larger dogs would not fit through the doggy door but since I'm home for most of the day, I will be able to provide outside access whenever needed. I have one small dog name Leo who is 9 years old. He is a Shih Tzu/Poodle mix. He is mellow and prefers to keep to himself. I can separate Leo from your dog if needed! Your pup's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to leave your pup with someone you can trust, and I do everything I can to create a calm, safe, and loving environment. I'm happy to follow any specific instructions, just let me know!
“First time we had left our Puppy, Button. We were nervous. Diane was so friendly and Button was a little apprehensive. She sent several updates and pictures and when we return to pick him up, he was happy and well cared for and loves Diane. Recommendation direct from Button - She took good care of me, played with me and took me for a walk in her stroller. See you soon. Button”
“I could not have left Milo with a more loving, caring, and competent person as Alina. She took excellent care of our dog and had great communication skills. I will definitely hire her again. THANK YOU ALINA!!!!”
“Our boys had a great stay. Caleb gave us updates whenever we asked for them, and overall it was a good, easy drop off and pick up experience. Just make sure you ask if other dogs will be present during your dogs stay because we forgot to do that and one of my boys doesn't always play well with others, and I worried there would be problems. Luckily all went well! Would book again :)”
“Kathryn and Matt were amazing. They have 2 other dogs that Gumbo was able to play with and the property was safe for him to have a good time.. They gave regular updates on how he was doing, walked him around the neighborhood and even snuggled him on the couch when he sat next to them. They were excellent caretakers.”
“Marta is the best host! She is very kind and attentive to ease our dog’s separation anxiety. Really appreciate the photo & video updates of the puppies playing and having a great time :)”
About: Animals have been part of my life since I was little — I grew up with six dogs and started caring for them on my own around age 10. It was never a chore. I genuinely loved it. Since then I’ve looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbors, and that same feeling has never gone away. I do drop-in visits, walks, and boarding. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where they’ll be treated like family — not just watched over, but truly loved. I give a lot of affection and I make sure every animal feels safe, seen, and cared for. I’m trained in pet first aid and CPR, can handle oral and injected medications, and have experience with senior animals and pets with special needs. Whatever your pet needs, I’ll show up for them. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel hard. I just want you to feel at ease — and I want your animal to feel loved while you’re gone. I’m currently studying psychology online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet real attention. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends, and I offer drop-in visits and walks in the morning or afternoon — any day of the week. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where everything is calm, clean, and safe. I can also come to your home if that’s what’s most comfortable for your pet. Either way, I’m respectful of their routine and give them plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I always clean up after myself and make sure your animal feels at ease the whole time you’re away.
“Diana has been such a great resource for me and my new pug. She has a wealth of knowledge and provides valuable feedback after each visit. The facilities are clean, spacious and safe. Diana’s attentiveness, organization and love for the pups in her care really shine through.”
“We had a great experience leaving our two dogs this past weekend with Karen and Steve, we felt very comfortable with everything after meeting them. They were especially wonderful with our nervous dog, he seemed to come out of his shell, which takes a lot of patience. We came home to two happy pups and look forward to booking with them again. We also really appreciate that they were able to accommodate our last minute request.”
“Faith is excellent. She is very communicative and update my dog status daily. She is very punctual and responsive. She offers convenient pick up/drop off and very flexible.I definitely will come back for future.”
“Lori is the sweetest, most loving care taker of Maverick, I am so so thankful I found her!! I know my fur child is being well cared for and has the best time with her & her hubby and her doggos - he literally doesn’t want to come home when I pick him up haha! Lori will be my go to daycare / boarding place from now on!! ❤️”
“Chris really did me a solid taking Marshall in for the weekend. He was always in communication, sent a few pictures during each day, and managed to keep on top of my boy’s endless energy. When I picked him up, my dog was trying to get me to stay there, which I take as a great sign for how much he enjoyed his stay with Chris.”
“Moon has come to my rescue once again. Always available last minute and so flexible. She goes out of her way to keep me updated, takes my pup on walks/to the lake/park/beach. Dolly comes home better behaved than when I leave her and I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t mind moving in with Moon and Nova 😉 thank you again ❤️”

“Emily was so incredibly kind!! I booked her on behalf of my Grandpa, who was going to be traveling for a week, so that someone could look in on his 17 year old cat. And Emily was fantastic! My Grandpa's cat warmed up to her so fast (and she is incredibly standoffish, so this was very special). She sent pictures with every visit, as well as an update on how Savannah (his cat) was doing. I would certainly book her again, and even recommend her to friends who are going out of town and need a pet-sitter for their cat/cats. Thank you Emily!!”
“Ana is very friendly and my cat warmed up to her as soon as they met! Sasha got a chance to go outside and Ana took care of her water/litter needs. I would absolutely recommend her to any furbaby in need of a friend!”
“Great communication and an instant positive connection with the dogs! She was amazing and I didn’t have any second thoughts or stress knowing my dogs were in such good hands. I highly recommend Jacqueline if you want a caring, punctual, and responsible dog sitter who is capable of handling any and all challenges thrown her way!”
About: Hello! My name is Crystal and I am a 25 year old teacher looking for a way to spend my afternoons! As a teacher, I carry a lot of patience which feeds into my pet caring skills. I adopted a tortie cat last year who required the most patience to have her come out of her shell and be comfortable in my home. There has always been a cat in my house and no matter what that cat got some love from me. Every morning I have to give my cat a kiss and pets because she is just so cute and deserves the world! Cats are the best pet and I understand that they have multiple personalities. I am willing to learn your cat’s personality and follow your wants and needs for caring for you pet!
“Kati is fantastic! She has a good head on her shoulders and knows the right thing to do without any fuss, but also follows all directions given. We will be booking with her again!”
“Amazing!! Definitely will be using them again for their wonderful service and personable personalities! Literally the ONLY reason I’d consider not giving them a 5/5 is so they won’t get so booked up that they couldn’t watch my cat again.”
“Loved my experience with Paris! She provided me with photos of my babies so i could see them while away, gave me updates to ensure peace of mind, and they left her home happy and well taken care of! she also provided me with a goodie bag full of treats and cat nip for my babies! couldn’t have asked for a better experience using Rover! Thank you Paris!!!”
About: I have been a cat owner and foster mom for many years. I am currently a mom to a very special orange cat (sharing the one brain cell). I am comfortable feeding brushing, and administering medicine.
About: I have experience caring for pets of different ages and personalities through both my own pets and pet sitting for friends while they’re away. I currently care for two pets of my own- an orange 9 year old tabby and a one year old kitten. I take the time to understand each pets personality and make sure they feel comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently a college student on summer break and work part-time, but I keep a flexible schedule and am especially available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I understand how important routines are for pets and make sure they receive the attention, care, and consistency they need while their owners are away.
“Rachel is the best! She was super responsive and communicative and my kitty loved her. She clearly has experience with animals. We will go to Rachel with our future cat sitting needs.”

“Thank you, Claudia! Claudia was great with our last minute request to help care for our puppy and adult dog. She was fast to respond and kept us informed. We would enjoy having her watch our dogs again!”
“Alicia was great with providing updates with Dino. He had plenty of enrichment being with Alicia and her daughter. It was great to have him with a fellow dog about his size and such great people to care for him. I would book with her again!”
About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I’ve helped neighbors and family with walking, feeding, bathing, and general care, and I’ve also fostered kittens. I’m experienced with pets of all ages and temperaments, including seniors who need a gentler approach. Spending time with animals means a lot to me, and I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m a full-time student with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or check-ins, I can adjust my routine to match your pet’s needs and keep their schedule consistent. My schedule is especially open during the summer, with even more daytime availability. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, their safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priority. I take the time to follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and any medications—so your pet feels secure and well cared for. During walks, I prioritize leash safety, stay aware of our surroundings, and choose calm, pet-friendly routes. In your home, I’m respectful of your space, keep things tidy, and ensure everything is secure while you’re away. For boarding and daycare, I offer a calm, structured environment with plenty of attention and supervision. I have a small fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I’m happy to take dogs to a nearby dog park if requested. I’m mindful of each dog’s comfort level and energy, and I tailor care to match. I provide consistent photo updates for walks, meals, medications, and playtime so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to offer dependable, thoughtful care that gives you complete peace of mind—and helps your pet feel safe, relaxed, and truly at home.
“Angie is awesome. She sent me a few update pics of Takoda while she was caring for her. I was so worried about leaving her with someone strange but Angie put those fears to rest. I would recommend her to anyone needing a sitter. Definitely using her again. ♥?”
“They were amazing with Moose! We had a last minute need for dog sitting and they were able to accommodate within 30 minutes. We felt quite lucky. They even provided their own leash, water bowl, bed, and treats so we didn’t have to leave his stuff at all. Thank you both!!!”
About: I love dogs and cats! I own one of each, and have fostered about forty. I have learned great leash-training skills, and behavior management of fearful dogs to help them feel more comfortable. I am fit and enjoy exercise, so I am happy to take your dog on long walks or even hikes! I can also administer treats on a walk if a dog needs some leash-training. Most importantly, I will treat your pup with kindness and affection. I am a teacher, so I have a lot of availability during the summer and holidays. For care in my home, I only live about five minutes from work, making it easy for me to check on animals during the day. For care in your home, I bring my own dog with me overnight. She is good with other animals. I am currently home full time for the summer. I spend a lot of time outside and love to take dogs for walks. I am also happy to chill inside and relax and give scritches. In my home, I have a secure fenced yard outside and a large crate available inside. At others’ homes I am respectful of my surroundings and treat all animals and property with great care.
About: Taking care of pets runs in my family big time. My grandparents would always have at least 3 cats at a time, plus would volunteer to take care of homeless cats and dogs. My childhood was full of rescue experiences thanks to the kindness of my parents' hearts. I am deeply committed to our furry family members and know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet when you're going on vacation. Luckily, I have lots of experience taking care of pets from birth to their very last days and everything in between (medication administration, special care, baths and much more). My goal is to be pet-centered and give them exactly what they need - whether it's more space and peace, or snuggles and playtime. I'm currently working remotely from home, so I'll be able to pay a lot of attention to your dear pet. The flexibility my job provides will allow me to meet the needs of your pets and adjust to their schedule if needed. I live in a house in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood perfect for walks. I also have a big crate in case your pet needs it.
About: We’re a loving family who adores dogs! Our friendly pup loves making new friends, and we’ll treat your dog like part of the family. Plenty of cuddles, playtime, and attention guaranteed! We have great availability for dog sitting! I’m home full time all summer. My husband works from home, so someone’s always here. Our chill dog, Cooper, loves to have doggie friends for company and playtime! We’ll provide a loving, clean, and happy home for your dog. Daily walks are part of our routine, and we spend lots of time playing in the yard. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, cuddles, and care to feel comfortable and safe. We’ll treat your dog like part of the family, making sure they’re happy, exercised, and well-loved during their stay!
About: Hi, I’m Niki! I’ve had over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and grew up in a household with them, so being around pets has always been second nature to me. Friends and family consistently rely on me for dog sitting because they know I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely love animals. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, my love for them has never changed. I’ve had my bunny for about six years now, which has only strengthened my patience, consistency, and commitment to caring for animals every day. I also volunteer doing dog walks and “day out” trips at the Humane Society, which has given me experience working with dogs of different temperaments, energy levels, and comfort needs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and support. I prioritize safety, routine, and creating a calm, comfortable environment so each dog feels secure, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work from home four days a week, which allows me plenty of time to give dogs consistent attention, supervision, and regular walks throughout the day. My flexible schedule makes it easy to maintain feeding routines, potty breaks, playtime, and exercise without feeling rushed. Because I’m home most of the week, I’m able to provide a calm, attentive environment and ensure pets feel comfortable and well cared for. I’m also available for weekend care upon request. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I focus on keeping pets comfortable while maintaining their usual routine. During walks, I ensure dogs get safe, structured exercise tailored to their energy level, along with positive reinforcement and attentiveness to their surroundings. Safety is always my top priority. For drop-ins, I follow feeding schedules closely, refresh water, provide potty breaks, playtime, and enrichment, and give plenty of affection so pets don’t feel stressed or lonely. I also monitor their behavior and overall well-being during each visit. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and always provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.
“Kathryn & Matt Took great care of Charlie. Charlie was always excited when we pulled up to their house. They have a nice setup for your pet to play in the backyard or go on walks in a nice neighborhood.”
“Aidni watched my dog after I created last minute plans. She was super accommodating and welcomed my dog into her home. My dog has an existing back/ neurological injury and normally after a dog sitter, his symptoms come back, but with Aidni, he returned home the same way he arrived. I will gladly book her again in the future and highly recommend her services!”
“Moon took great care of our Lab girl and even worked with her on some commands. Moon has a sweet pup that played with our girl and our pyp was returned to us happy and worm out for a good nap. We'll use her for future pet sitting”
About: I’m an animal lover through and through and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I have a 1-year-old spayed Rottweiler/Lab mix who is the biggest sweetheart and absolutely loves having doggy company. I’m happy to do overnight stays, follow your pet’s routine exactly as you prefer, and provide daily photo and update check-ins so you always feel connected. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, structure, or all three - I’ve got it covered. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day without rushing or long absences. I follow each owner’s instructions to ensure pets feel comfortable and safe. I respect routines, feeding schedules, and preferences while always adding extra love, patience, and attention.
“Renea and her family are the best! Everyone was so kind and welcoming to my pup Nya and made her feel right at home. It was my first time using this service and the pictures she sent throughout the day let me know that Nya was being loved and having a great time. I highly recommend her for daycare or overnights. Thank you Renae!”
“Marta is a great sitter for our pup, making sure that he feels safe and comfortable. She sends lots of picture updates as well, which is nice. We feel confident leaving our dog with her.”
About: I have over 15 years of experience walking and pet sitting, and I truly love what I do. Whether it’s a quick walk or a longer stay, I make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I run my own dog walking and pet sitting business and care for multiple regular weekly clients, along with one-time and occasional visits. Reliability and communication are very important to me, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Over the years, I’ve raised 9 dogs of my own, so dogs have always been a big part of my life. Your pup will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life. I run my own dog walking and pet sitting business, so my schedule is built around the pets I care for. My weekdays usually include regular walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I make sure to leave space in my day so I’m never rushed. I plan my week around my clients so each dog gets consistent attention, exercise, and love. This isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s what I do — so I’m able to be reliable, present, and fully focused on the pets in my care. It really depends on the service, but my goal is always the same — keep pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. In my client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and downtime. I spend quality time with them (not just quick in-and-out visits), give lots of attention, and always send photo updates so you know how they’re doing. In my home, pets get a calm, family environment. I make sure they have space to relax, regular potty breaks, daily walks, and lots of supervision. I do slow introductions with my dog and always prioritize safety and comfort. Whether it’s boarding, overnights, or drop-ins, I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on keeping their stress low and their routine consistent.

“Emily is a sweet young lady who immediately connected with our dog. She took him on several walks and he loved every one of them. She communicated well with pictures and a route of the walk so you know exactly where they went. We are looking forward to having her also dog sit for us in the future.”
“Heather walked our 1 year old Great Dane "ELLA" while I was laid up from surgery. Ella's a lot of dog and Heather did an excellent job. Ella loves Heather and I would highly recommend her.”

About: Pets deserve the best! Grew up surrounded by all types of pets, such as dogs, cats, turtles, and hamsters. Have had a cat of my own for 6 years, and I've constantly looked after my sister's dog since he was a puppy. I was the animal-obsessed one in my family, constantly taking in strays. I am a student at a University and have class on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. However, I am free on those days after 5 pm. On Monday, Wednesday, and the weekend. I am free at any hour. I give my full attention to the animal when I am with them and treat them as my own. I am always sure the animal is comfortable before anything. I love to treat other people's pets as my own, and know when to give them their space. Am respectful of others' homes and careful not to disturb space. Instructions are easy for me to follow, and I like to send updates with photos of your fur baby.
About: Hi! My name is Nadia, and I’m a graduate student in School Psychology with a background in education, behavioral support, and caregiving. I’ve spent years working with children, families, and individuals with diverse needs, which has helped me develop patience, reliability, and a calm, attentive approach in all situations. As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether your pet needs a leisurely walk, playtime, companionship, or extra patience and care, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of various sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m happy to follow specific routines, administer basic medications, provide regular updates and photos, and ensure your pet receives individualized attention. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and dependable hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently off for the summer break and have a very open schedule. I am ready to fit in time with your pets on your schedule. I take pet safety very seriously and always follow the owner’s instructions and routines closely. During each visit, I ensure pets have fresh food and water, a safe and secure environment, and the attention and exercise they need. I will be sure to carefully monitor pets for any changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or signs of illness and will communicate any concerns promptly. I also make sure doors, gates, and fences are secure before and after walks or outdoor time to prevent escapes. I want to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved in their own homes while giving owners peace of mind through regular updates and photos.
About: What sets me apart is that I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. Dogs have always been a part of my family, and I’ve had firsthand experience caring for them day to day—not just feeding and walking, but giving them attention, patience, and affection. I’ve also owned a cat, and it was one of the best experiences I’ve had, so I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I recently moved into my own apartment with my girlfriend, and while I don’t currently have pets of my own, I truly miss having animals around. Pet sitting allows me to give that love and care again while providing a safe, calm, and attentive environment for your pet. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and at home while you’re away. My schedule works very well for pet care. I work split shifts, which allows me to be available in the afternoons for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. I also return home in the evenings, so pets are never left alone for long periods. Additionally, my girlfriend works from home full-time, so there is almost always someone present to provide supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. This setup creates a calm, safe, and consistent environment for pets. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they’re in my home or their own. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I take time to build trust with every pet, especially those who may be shy or anxious, and I give them plenty of attention and affection. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family and are never left alone for long periods. My home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, and there is always supervision throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure pets stay comfortable by sticking to what they already know. I believe consistency, patience, and genuine love for animals are the most important parts of great pet care.
About: i have 3 animals as of writing this. 1 senior dog, 1 kitten and 1 cat. they all have wildly different personalities and health needs which i have no problem meeting at all. my pit needs diet restrictions, and my late german shepard coyote mix needed gentle emotional help as she had trauma from her past family, my male tuxedo kitten needs to learn to chill because hed set off a bomb then eat trash if he could, and my runt calico is very picky about what she eats and when you can touch her. all of this i happily handle as i pride myself on knowing animal body language and making sure they get the best care they can based on what they need. I am a full time university student so my schedule will change 2x a year BUT i am very flexible despite that. I make time for my own animals so i can absolutely make time for another’s animals to put your mind at ease. I provide my bets with necessary diets they each need, comfort they all need or want, play they need or want, and do my best to read body language to figure out something i cant immediately tell. I always have food and water out, multiple beds and blankets everywhere for them to sleep, and multiple treats to give when I come home to them.
About: I have tons of experience with all kinds of animals. I have loved and cared for: -kittens, senior cats, and pregnant cats -puppies, senior dogs, and pregnant dogs I’ve also had birds, fish, and bunnies. I have also volunteered with horses and other farm animals, although I’ve never personally owned any. I am currently a college student and a manager at an ice cream shop. I’m looking to help my community and fill my time! I work most days but, most of my classes are online. I am willing to be flexible! I am very particular when it comes to client care. I don’t believe you can “spoil” an animal because they’re our babies! Let’s take care of them the best we can together. Any requests for pet care are fine by me as long as the animal is safe and happy! My animals(I have 3 dogs and 2 cats) all get along well, are fed well, and regularly see a vet.
About: Proud owner of an Australian cattle dog named Roxy. Father of two. I'm professional communicative and honest. I show up when I say I'm going to and provide the best experience possible for your dog. I am available anytime 7 days a week. Day or night for house visits, and dog walks. I know how stressful it could be worrying about your pet when you are away. I always make sure your dog is happy and tired and ready for a nap after my walks. Some dogs need a little more exercise than others, and I will make sure that they are satisfied.
“Amanda is so sweet! She came to do a meet and greet and immediately treated my pets as her own! Pets and love within seconds! She even brought in the dog food from the porch (thank you so much btw, I know that thing is HEAVY!) I’m sure Hagen can’t wait for next time!”
“We had Kristen house sit for us and take care of our Golden Retriever. She was great - good communication in the planning stages and flexible with our plans. When we were gone she sent lots of photos and updates, which we appreciated. On our return, Kristen had stripped the bed and washed her bedding. Wow! We felt completely comfortable leaving our baby in her care and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.”

I’ll treat your pups like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, including senior dogs and pets who may need extra patience or attention. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, giving medications if needed, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages.

Larger dogs would not fit through the doggy door but since I'm home for most of the day, I will be able to provide outside access whenever needed. I have one small dog name Leo who is 9 years old.

“Tatyanah & Everardo did an awesome job with my Pup Isla!!! My Pup is very timid around other pups, but Tatyanah, Everardo, and their pups made Her feel very welcome. I received videos and pictures throughout the time Isla stayed at their home. I asked them for feedback and tips on how I can get Isla more comfortable around other pups. I would definitely recommend them. Isla will be seeing them soon as I plan to bring Isla back! Thank you Tatyanah and Everardo!”
“Brianne took great care of our 19 month old Bernedoodle, Kona. She and her family welcomed Kona into their home with love and care. We received pictures and updates which put us at ease since this was Kona's first time staying with another family and dog. Our dog even forgot who we were when we returned after 6 days to pick her up. Thanks again, Brianne!”
“Angie was really great. She was easy to communicate with and replied to our messages quickly. She also sent pictures of Parker without being asked to. Would definitely book again in the future! Parker had a great time.”

“I could not have left Milo with a more loving, caring, and competent person as Alina. She took excellent care of our dog and had great communication skills. I will definitely hire her again. THANK YOU ALINA!!!!”
“Our boys had a great stay. Caleb gave us updates whenever we asked for them, and overall it was a good, easy drop off and pick up experience. Just make sure you ask if other dogs will be present during your dogs stay because we forgot to do that and one of my boys doesn't always play well with others, and I worried there would be problems. Luckily all went well! Would book again :)”
“Kathryn and Matt were amazing. They have 2 other dogs that Gumbo was able to play with and the property was safe for him to have a good time.. They gave regular updates on how he was doing, walked him around the neighborhood and even snuggled him on the couch when he sat next to them. They were excellent caretakers.”
“Marta is the best host! She is very kind and attentive to ease our dog’s separation anxiety. Really appreciate the photo & video updates of the puppies playing and having a great time :)”
About: Animals have been part of my life since I was little — I grew up with six dogs and started caring for them on my own around age 10. It was never a chore. I genuinely loved it. Since then I’ve looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbors, and that same feeling has never gone away. I do drop-in visits, walks, and boarding. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where they’ll be treated like family — not just watched over, but truly loved. I give a lot of affection and I make sure every animal feels safe, seen, and cared for. I’m trained in pet first aid and CPR, can handle oral and injected medications, and have experience with senior animals and pets with special needs. Whatever your pet needs, I’ll show up for them. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel hard. I just want you to feel at ease — and I want your animal to feel loved while you’re gone. I’m currently studying psychology online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet real attention. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends, and I offer drop-in visits and walks in the morning or afternoon — any day of the week. Your pet is welcome to stay in my home, where everything is calm, clean, and safe. I can also come to your home if that’s what’s most comfortable for your pet. Either way, I’m respectful of their routine and give them plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I always clean up after myself and make sure your animal feels at ease the whole time you’re away.
“We had a great experience leaving our two dogs this past weekend with Karen and Steve, we felt very comfortable with everything after meeting them. They were especially wonderful with our nervous dog, he seemed to come out of his shell, which takes a lot of patience. We came home to two happy pups and look forward to booking with them again. We also really appreciate that they were able to accommodate our last minute request.”
“Faith is excellent. She is very communicative and update my dog status daily. She is very punctual and responsive. She offers convenient pick up/drop off and very flexible.I definitely will come back for future.”
“Lori is the sweetest, most loving care taker of Maverick, I am so so thankful I found her!! I know my fur child is being well cared for and has the best time with her & her hubby and her doggos - he literally doesn’t want to come home when I pick him up haha! Lori will be my go to daycare / boarding place from now on!! ❤️”
“Chris really did me a solid taking Marshall in for the weekend. He was always in communication, sent a few pictures during each day, and managed to keep on top of my boy’s endless energy. When I picked him up, my dog was trying to get me to stay there, which I take as a great sign for how much he enjoyed his stay with Chris.”
“Awesome guy! Communicated on a regular basis; he sent photos and videos on a daily basis and made us feel very comfortable leaving our little doggies with him while going on vacation out of the country. We will definitely seek his services again, if the need arises. 5 ?”
“Vanessa took really good care of both of our dogs for over a week in her home. She did well with their energy and excitement as they were getting used to a new environment with a great backyard during the first few days. They were in very good hands with her and her family. The dogs loved playing and snuggling with them during their stay. One of our dogs needed meds and limited activity despite wanting to play a lot, and she did a great job of balancing that. I appreciated the cute daily photo updates and the details she requested prior to the boarding to make it easier getting to know the dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Mindy and Brian took excellent care of my puppy! I enjoyed getting pictures of him and they were quick to respond when I checked in on him. They were very easygoing about timing. My puppy loved playing with their dogs, sleeping in their bed and getting lots of love and attention. Would absolutely book with them again.”
About: What sets me apart is that I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. Dogs have always been a part of my family, and I’ve had firsthand experience caring for them day to day—not just feeding and walking, but giving them attention, patience, and affection. I’ve also owned a cat, and it was one of the best experiences I’ve had, so I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I recently moved into my own apartment with my girlfriend, and while I don’t currently have pets of my own, I truly miss having animals around. Pet sitting allows me to give that love and care again while providing a safe, calm, and attentive environment for your pet. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and at home while you’re away. My schedule works very well for pet care. I work split shifts, which allows me to be available in the afternoons for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. I also return home in the evenings, so pets are never left alone for long periods. Additionally, my girlfriend works from home full-time, so there is almost always someone present to provide supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. This setup creates a calm, safe, and consistent environment for pets. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they’re in my home or their own. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I take time to build trust with every pet, especially those who may be shy or anxious, and I give them plenty of attention and affection.
