“Genae was amazing with Winnie! She sent pictures, kept me updated and was so patient with her the first few days as she was nervous and acclimating to her new environment. This gave Winnie a chance to socialize with a bunch of other dogs and I can tell she was well taken care of while I was gone!”
“Nancy and Don were extremely nice and accommodating. Bean had a great time playing and staying with them. I would highly recommend boarding or any other dog care with them.”
“Jennifer is really nice and accommodating. She even took care of our pit Jada with short notice. She provided daily updates for Jada including photos of their activities. We found the perfect dogsitter for Jada in the Redding area, and we look forward to her dogsitting Jada in the near future. Thanks again Jennifer!”
“Aimee and her family were amazing! They took in our pup on short notice and he had a wonderful time playing with Flynn and the family. They were very responsive and sent daily updates. Looking forward to using them again!”
“Our dogs love staying with Ashley and her sweet family. It really takes the worry out of travel knowing your dogs are being spoiled and loved. They even received Christmas toys. Thank you thank you!!”
“I feel so blessed to have found Carley! My pup Faith has special needs and I never leave her with anyone but Carley.. it's so wonderful to know that she is being taken care of just like she's at home with me, so I'm not worried and I can have fun. Faith loves her time when she gets to stay with Carley and her friends!”
“We cannot recommend Jared highly enough. From our very first interaction, his attention to detail and professionalism set him apart. He took the time to ask thoughtful, specific questions about our dog’s routines, preferences, quirks, and health history—everything from feeding schedules and portion sizes to behavioral cues and comfort habits. It was clear he wasn’t just “watching a dog”; they were committed to understanding and caring for our dog. Communication was exceptional throughout. We received consistent updates—photos, positive words about our dog’s behavior and how much he enjoyed watching our dog. Every message reassured us that our dog was not only safe, but genuinely happy and engaged. His knowledge of dog care was evident in both small and significant ways. He demonstrated confidence in handling, situational awareness on walks, and an understanding of canine behavior that gave us complete peace of mind. He was proactive rather than reactive, anticipating needs before they became issues. Our dog can be particular, yet he adapted seamlessly and respected established routines while building trust. What truly stood out was his authenticity. There was nothing transactional about his care—it was thoughtful, warm, and sincere. You can tell when someone genuinely loves animals, and that sincerity showed in every interaction. If you are looking for someone who blends professionalism, knowledge, attentiveness, and heartfelt care, his is extraordinary. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found him and highly recommend Jared to anyone looking for an outstanding pet sitter.”
“Lorrie is a wonderful pet sitter. She communicated with me daily and sent wonderful videos of the dogs. I highly recommend her if you want a great dog sitter. She also has 2 acres for your pups to explore and play. I can’t thank her enough for making my vacation worry free about my fur babies.”
“Jess was a wonderful host and her property is a perfect dog retreat. Jess sent regular updates and photos showing how happy my dog was. My dog got lots of exercise and attention. He loved hanging with her dog and her family. Jess also has a lot of dog experience as a breeder which I appreciated. Thank you so much Jess!”
About: I grew up with dogs. I have been living in a house now with 4 Shih Tzus ranging from 1.5 years old up to 16. I've gone through potty training all the way to eye drops. I am also owned by 5 cats so I am well versed in litter boxes and finicky eaters. I work full time Saturday through Wednesdays from 7am to 3pm. My housemate and partner works Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm. There is almost always someone home to take care of the dogs. It is no issue for me to stop by before and after work for potties and so on. I am pretty much a low key person so hanging with the fur kids is about as exciting as I get. When I am sitting in someone's house I like to spend time with the pet. I make sure that when I leave the house I secure the doors, windows, etc. I am respectful of belongings and space. I like to make the fur kids feel like nothing is all that different as much as possible. If I'm just dropping in for walks/potty time I like to spend time with them for their comfort and stimulation. I'll make sure water is refreshed and food is full and boxes are emptied.
“My sister and I were both hesitant to send our cats somewhere because cats are so particular and get stressed easily. We were happily surprised when we walked in and they had a room setup just for the cats and it was perfect. They had a great time and just napped when we got home. Will definitely be contacting Isaiah and Alyssa in the future!”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for multiple pets at once, including different breeds, ages, and personalities.

I treat every pet with the same care and respect I give my own, and I work to make each visit predictable, safe, and worry‑free.
“Thank you so much, Jean, for coming to our rescue during a last-minute emergency, and caring for our two very spoiled pups for three days in a row! Our dogs are not used to being away from us, but Jean is such a natural that they settled in right away. The photos she sent throughout the day showed their quick comfort and the sweetest moments of them cuddling with Jean and her husband, as well as gradually bonding with her own friendly dogs. On the third day, when an unexpected situation kept us out much later than planned, Jean was incredibly flexible and understanding, making the whole experience completely stress-free for us. She truly went above and beyond, and we honestly feel like she saved us. We’ve found our go-to sitter. No need to look anywhere else.”
“Rionnagh was incredibly responsive, friendly, and communicative throughout our experience. She kept us updated with frequent messages and photos of our dog, which we greatly appreciated. When we needed last-minute accommodations, Ri was accommodating and made the process seamless. Though her location was a bit out of the way, we’d happily use her services again for her excellent care and reliability.”
About: 3 fur baby of my own a German Shepherd (Kira) and my cats (Biscuits and Gravy) I believe that pets are part of the family just as much as anyone else. I will love and care for your pet as if they are my own and with 3 kids your pets will have the proper care and attention they deserve. We enjoy most days in our backyard playing fetch and running around exploring the neighborhood. I believe our fur babies should be included in our day to day activities and shown they are loved and part of this family. I hope you find me to be the right fit to care and love your fur baby so you do not have to worry. I am available throughout the day for drop ins and walks. I am very flexible to have your pet stay with me at my house. I have a fully fenced backyard or am capable of crating if needed. They will sleep inside every night and will never be left outside.
“I was super nervous to leave my tripod pup with a stranger, but Jason really made us and our pup comfortable. We met at a local park to make sure everything was a good fit. He asked all of the right questions to make me feel he would take care of my pup. During Ollie's stay he sent tons of videos and pictures. My dog was wagging his tail in everyone. My dog was so happy and we will definitely be return visitors.”
About: I have had a dog since I was born. I started caring for my dog by the age of five. Then, I did overnights with a diabetic dog, with whom I had to administer medicine. Now, I have two dogs of my own who are very special. I currently work from home, so pet care fits in seamlessly with my routine. I also have a fenced-in yard, so potty breaks can be taken frequently. I am very attentive with care for pets in my home, and I’m my clients home. I always ensure there is fresh food and water. I make sure they have toys or chew toys to keep them occupied. I am always available to take time to play, and go on potty breaks.
“Jessie did a great job taking care of my pup while I was away. Jessie was friendly as were her dogs. I got photos daily and updates on what Jovi was up. I appreciated the quality care and highly recommend Jessie and her "pack" to anyone looking for dog care.”

About: I have been around animals my whole life and always had a soft spot for cats. I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, whether they are playful and social, a little shy, or just prefer their own space. I’m comfortable providing whatever care your cat needs! My dad’s cat just recently had 4 kittens that me and my wife helped raise! We took care of them when they were four days old and had flees, and really grew to bond with all 4 of them. Watching their personalities develop was such a special experience.

“Regena was amazing! She let us know what was going on with our boys each time she visited and the pics were great! We felt they were cared for well while we were away! We will definitely request her again!”
About: I grew up on a farm, so animals have always been part of my world—feeding chickens before breakfast, brushing horses after school, and getting covered in dog hair in between! I’ve looked after everything from bouncy puppies to mellow senior dogs, and I’ve always had an easy, natural connection with animals. They seem to sense that I’m one of the good ones. I’m great at picking up on their vibes—whether they’re in the mood to zoom around or just want some chill cuddle time. Taking care of animals is second nature to me, and honestly, it’s one of my favorite things to do. I live a flexible lifestyle and am fully available to care for your pets. Since I’m not tied to a traditional job or schedule, I can offer your fur babies lots of time, attention, and consistency. Whether it’s daily walks, extended stays, or last-minute needs, I’m here to help and happy to adapt to your routine. I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing environment wherever I’m staying. I care for pets in their own familiar space, which helps them feel secure and relaxed. I’m attentive to routines, respectful of your home, and can adapt to any special needs your pet may have—whether that means crating, administering medication, or extra cuddle time.

“Jennifer was able to work with my long hour work schedule and picked up right away when I texted. That’s a big thing for me cause my hours are difficult to find someone. She kept me updated as well and took good care of my baby.”
“Carley is amazing. Loves our pup like her own and goes the extra mile with everything. She sends photos of all the fun they are having while she’s at her house. Will definitely rebook!”

“My pups had a great day with Genae. She has a nice big fenced yard which they enjoyed playing in with her little dogs. She always responded quickly to communication. She is kind, attentive & loving with the pups in her care.”
“Dylan was absolutely wonderful with Charlie. He accepted him right away during our meet‑and‑greet, which instantly put me at ease. He’s incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, attentive to details, and genuinely easy to talk to. Charlie had a great time with him and the other dogs — he came home happy and relaxed. Dylan’s home is clean, organized, and clearly set up with care. His wife Julie was also very supportive and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I’m so glad I found them. I highly recommend Dylan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“We are very happy to have found Rio. She has been so supportive and accommodating by visiting and practicing at home and even at her place with our puppy before our vacation. She is great with him and for such a young pup who doesn't like to be left alone, he has bonded to her very quickly and I am feeling like I will get to have a vacation without worry! She is very knowledgeable and caring.”

“Needed daycare last minute for my spoiled and somewhat dramatic doodles and they had a blast with Lorrie and her pack. The property is amazing, lots of shade, secure fence and sweet doggie friends to explore with. Bonus - Lorrie’s granddaughter was visiting and spoiled my guys even more. We are in town occasionally and I will happily book again.”

About: My first dog sitting job was at 9 years old, took a lot of neighborhood dogs for walks, started training them, loved it so much. Lived on a ranch caring for a wide variety of animals: dogs, cats, horses, birds, reptiles, etc. I have experience with all types of animals! I am currently retired, would love to play with your pets on weekdays and Sunday! I am very responsible, let's try a schedule! Thank you I will do a drop by, overnight, dog walks, etc. I have experience working with animals for over 48 years! Enjoy keeping them happy, maintaining the diets they require, have experience administering medications, and stick to rules you require!
“Jessie is very accommodating. She’s very good with communicating and sending pictures. Cleo was in very good spirits when I got her back and she was very tired because she just played the whole time. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. Fair price, good communication and overall really good with animals.”
About: I have worked as a detection dog handler and gun dog handler for a few years now. I have also trained my own dog to complete multiple tasks for different purposes. I know how to get your pup tired mentally and physically while having fun and have the patience necessary to help them learn new tricks and become familiar with a new place! I have a flexible work schedule so rest assured that your pup will get plenty of exercise and will play fun games throughout the day! I also live very close to a fenced tennis court (if your pup is into tennis balls and fetching) and a fenced park with soccer fields. I provide a safe and clean environment with a fenced yard and a friendly and playful dog to keep your pup company. I have an extra crate (size XL) if your pup is crated-trained. I also have lots of room to accommodate your own crate inside my living room. I have a doggie treadmill (Dog Trotter USA Inc), which we use to keep our dog active during very hot weather, and can use for your pup as well if interested! I always follow the owner’s instructions closely. Dogs are never unattended for long periods of time, and I always monitor them to make sure they’re feeling safe and comfortable at all times.
“While traveling through the area and we needed a sitter for our puppy for the day. Shawna was very warm and welcoming to us an our puppy.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, so I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want for my own. I’m a college student who works part-time, and pet sitting fits perfectly into my schedule. I’m available Wednesday through Sunday and make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, and sticking to your dog’s routine are something I genuinely look forward to. I care for pets by keeping them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. In my clients’ homes, I follow feeding schedules, provide walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, and make sure your pet feels secure while you’re away. I also keep the space clean and send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Hi! A little about my pet-care experience: I’ve been caring for my own pets, as well as my neighbors’ animals, since I was a child. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and mice, and I also have some experience caring for cows and chickens. I’m comfortable administering medications to dogs, including pills, liquids, nasal drops, and topical medications. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, as I currently have two senior dogs of my own. I understand the extra patience, attention, and care that senior pets may need. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and will treat your pets like they’re my own! 🐾 I work from home and run an online business so I have plenty of time to checkin, play with, walk, and snuggle your fur babies. I am flexible with hours and open to a long term set schedule. I am open to caring for dogs in my home depending on size, breed, and demeanor. I have two small senior dogs who aren’t in the mood for high energy at this time in their life. I do have a fully fenced yard with grass, lots of shade, and a small doggy door to go in and out as they please (if they fit). I’m walking distance to the river trail and Caldwell Park. Please reach out for inquiries and questions regarding overnights. In your home, you can expect respect and care for your space and your animal(s). I will follow your instructions and cater to your animal(s) needs, whether that be walks, play time, medications administered, food, accident clean up, or snuggles..or possibly all of the above :)
“Beau immediately liked Shannon when she came over for a meet and greet. I booked her for that following Saturday for a walk. I let her know Beau doesn't like to walk when it's hot out and so she came later in the day which was perfect. She sent me a few pictures of Beau while they were out on their walk. I will be booking Shannon again!”

My goal is always to create a predictable, low‑stress environment where your pet feels secure and understood. In your home: I follow your routines exactly as you describe them, feeding schedules, walking routes, litter box setup, household rules, and any special instructions. I keep doors and gates secured, double‑check that pets can’t slip out, and maintain a clean environment throughout each visit. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and comfort so I can spot changes early and communicate them to you. For cats: I move slowly, respect boundaries, and let them approach on their terms. I’m experienced with senior cats, mobility challenges, and monitoring litter box habits. I keep their space tidy, refresh water and food carefully, and maintain a calm atmosphere that helps shy or anxious cats feel safe. For dogs: I use steady, confident leash handling, stick to familiar walking routes, and avoid overstimulation. I watch body language closely, support positive behavior, and make sure they get the right balance of exercise, structure, and comfort. Safety is always the priority, secure harnesses, controlled entrances/exits, and mindful interactions. Communication & trust: You’ll receive clear updates, honest notes, and photos every visit, so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I give my own, and I work to make each visit predictable, safe, and worry‑free.
About: My family has always been passionate about giving animals the best possible life & experience that we possibly could. I have owned multiple dogs of different sizes and owned for multiple kinds of reptiles. I have experience carrying for special needs dogs as two of our dogs needed extensive medical care and medication administered multiple times of day as they near the end of their lives. I consider myself to be very calm and respectful of people’s fur babies and home. I’m currently working part time, just 10 hours a week and I spend most of my time when I’m not working doing schoolwork. I’m a local college student and avid pet lover. Im passionate and safety oriented. I’ll spend most of my time caring for your pets and reading my textbooks. I’m a quick learner and can follow any instructions you set for me. I have experience administering medications to dogs as my previous dog required multiple bouts of different medication throughout the day during the end of her life. I also have experience with reptiles and heating requirements and general feeding schedules.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life as well as two little ones of my own at the moment! I would love to take care of your animals while you’re away, or take them on walks!! I have three dogs as well named Cheeto. I found him in a bush at 2-4 weeks old, so he’s my baby boy. I have experience with a kitten that needs formula and around the hour care. I also grew up and have a ton of experience with horses and horse care, so if you have any other livestock I’m your girl! Currently living in a home with a fenced yard. I love to take my dogs to Nur pon when it gets hot or on walks along the river near Caldwell park. I work part time, and I would love to fill my extra time with helping take care of your fur babies! I have an extremely flexible schedule as of right now. I’m currently looking for another part time job but as of now I’m completely available. Right now I unfortunately don’t have a big enough yard to want to house other pets. I do however provide great housesitting and pet care. I’ll always be quiet, make sure everything is cleaned up, and give your pets the attention and care they need while you’re away!

About: My wife and I have grown up loving dogs and have always had a special connection with animals in general! I grew up with two small dogs, and my wife had two big dogs, we love them more than anything. We honestly can't imagine life without them. Caring for them has given us so much experience understanding the needs, personalities and routines of different dogs. Our experiences as dog owners has taught us the importance of patience, consistency, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable and loved while their owners are away! I'm currently self employed, and work from home! I make my own schedule so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priority.

I will always take the time to learn your pets routine, personality and individual needs so that they feel comfortable and secure while you're away.
About: 3 fur baby of my own a German Shepherd (Kira) and my cats (Biscuits and Gravy) I believe that pets are part of the family just as much as anyone else. I will love and care for your pet as if they are my own and with 3 kids your pets will have the proper care and attention they deserve. We enjoy most days in our backyard playing fetch and running around exploring the neighborhood. I believe our fur babies should be included in our day to day activities and shown they are loved and part of this family. I hope you find me to be the right fit to care and love your fur baby so you do not have to worry. I am available throughout the day for drop ins and walks. I am very flexible to have your pet stay with me at my house. I have a fully fenced backyard or am capable of crating if needed. They will sleep inside every night and will never be left outside.
About: Hi, I’m Grace! I love all animals and grew up surrounded by them and have many of my own at home! I currently have 3 dogs,3 cats, parrots, and chickens who I take care of. I have even volunteered at Haven Humane many times, so I have lots of experience with feeding, walking, playing, and grooming! I also learned how to read pet body language and manage animals with different temperaments as a volunteer. I’m good with both young pets and older ones, and am even comfortable with administering medicine if needed, as I have pets that need regular medications. Whether you have an energetic pet who needs lots of attention and walks, or one who just wants to cuddle and needs someone to sit around at home with, I will take the best possible care of them! I’m currently working part-time usually Thursday through Sunday, though my schedule varies. I’m typically available in the afternoons or evenings on these days, so I can do walks or play dates. I’m free to house sit Mondays through Wednesdays and can even stay all day if needed. When staying at your home, I always make sure to never leave pets unattended for long periods of time, always keep them leashed while on walks, will send updates and often as possible, and carefully follow all instructions including feeding or medication instructions. I will also treat your home with the most care, and make sure everything is kept clean and secure.
About: I have 20 plus years of experience taking care of my own and others fur babies. I have experience from volunteering at an animal shelter. I watched family and friends dogs on a daily basis for years as well. I’ve taken care of a range of fur babies. Puppies to aging adult dogs. Pet sitting has brought my family and me so much joy! I live a very active life and walking dogs is a delight! I have a very flexible schedule and I am home during the day. I have the ability to take dogs for a walk during the day and meet needs as they arise I have two children. They both know animal etiquette and care, but dogs must be comfortable around high energy children. I have a smaller, but well secured backyard. Big enough for small to medium/large dogs to have space to run and/or lounge in the sun or shade. Half of the yard is shaded 90% of the day. I lived across the street from a very nice park with a lake I can walk them around weather permitting. My main floor of the house is completely tiled, so occasional accidents are no big deal.
About: I grew up on a farm, so animals have always been part of my world—feeding chickens before breakfast, brushing horses after school, and getting covered in dog hair in between! I’ve looked after everything from bouncy puppies to mellow senior dogs, and I’ve always had an easy, natural connection with animals. They seem to sense that I’m one of the good ones. I’m great at picking up on their vibes—whether they’re in the mood to zoom around or just want some chill cuddle time. Taking care of animals is second nature to me, and honestly, it’s one of my favorite things to do. I live a flexible lifestyle and am fully available to care for your pets. Since I’m not tied to a traditional job or schedule, I can offer your fur babies lots of time, attention, and consistency. Whether it’s daily walks, extended stays, or last-minute needs, I’m here to help and happy to adapt to your routine. I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing environment wherever I’m staying. I care for pets in their own familiar space, which helps them feel secure and relaxed. I’m attentive to routines, respectful of your home, and can adapt to any special needs your pet may have—whether that means crating, administering medication, or extra cuddle time.

Although I don’t usually offer this service, exceptions are always welcome for consideration.

“Nancy and Don were extremely nice and accommodating. Bean had a great time playing and staying with them. I would highly recommend boarding or any other dog care with them.”
“Jennifer is really nice and accommodating. She even took care of our pit Jada with short notice. She provided daily updates for Jada including photos of their activities. We found the perfect dogsitter for Jada in the Redding area, and we look forward to her dogsitting Jada in the near future. Thanks again Jennifer!”
“Aimee and her family were amazing! They took in our pup on short notice and he had a wonderful time playing with Flynn and the family. They were very responsive and sent daily updates. Looking forward to using them again!”
“Our dogs love staying with Ashley and her sweet family. It really takes the worry out of travel knowing your dogs are being spoiled and loved. They even received Christmas toys. Thank you thank you!!”
“I feel so blessed to have found Carley! My pup Faith has special needs and I never leave her with anyone but Carley.. it's so wonderful to know that she is being taken care of just like she's at home with me, so I'm not worried and I can have fun. Faith loves her time when she gets to stay with Carley and her friends!”
“We cannot recommend Jared highly enough. From our very first interaction, his attention to detail and professionalism set him apart. He took the time to ask thoughtful, specific questions about our dog’s routines, preferences, quirks, and health history—everything from feeding schedules and portion sizes to behavioral cues and comfort habits. It was clear he wasn’t just “watching a dog”; they were committed to understanding and caring for our dog. Communication was exceptional throughout. We received consistent updates—photos, positive words about our dog’s behavior and how much he enjoyed watching our dog. Every message reassured us that our dog was not only safe, but genuinely happy and engaged. His knowledge of dog care was evident in both small and significant ways. He demonstrated confidence in handling, situational awareness on walks, and an understanding of canine behavior that gave us complete peace of mind. He was proactive rather than reactive, anticipating needs before they became issues. Our dog can be particular, yet he adapted seamlessly and respected established routines while building trust. What truly stood out was his authenticity. There was nothing transactional about his care—it was thoughtful, warm, and sincere. You can tell when someone genuinely loves animals, and that sincerity showed in every interaction. If you are looking for someone who blends professionalism, knowledge, attentiveness, and heartfelt care, his is extraordinary. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found him and highly recommend Jared to anyone looking for an outstanding pet sitter.”
“Lorrie is a wonderful pet sitter. She communicated with me daily and sent wonderful videos of the dogs. I highly recommend her if you want a great dog sitter. She also has 2 acres for your pups to explore and play. I can’t thank her enough for making my vacation worry free about my fur babies.”
“Jess was a wonderful host and her property is a perfect dog retreat. Jess sent regular updates and photos showing how happy my dog was. My dog got lots of exercise and attention. He loved hanging with her dog and her family. Jess also has a lot of dog experience as a breeder which I appreciated. Thank you so much Jess!”
“My sister and I were both hesitant to send our cats somewhere because cats are so particular and get stressed easily. We were happily surprised when we walked in and they had a room setup just for the cats and it was perfect. They had a great time and just napped when we got home. Will definitely be contacting Isaiah and Alyssa in the future!”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for multiple pets at once, including different breeds, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and routines. I work remotely, which means your pet will have constant supervision, and attention throughout the day. I treat every pet how I would want mine treated and strive to provide a calm, loving environment while you’re away. I work from home and have for over 5 years. This allowed the time to really watch over your pet and being able to handle anything they need. I have a fenced in small back yard. My apartment also offers locations to walk dogs and allow them to poop and get some extra room.
“Thank you so much, Jean, for coming to our rescue during a last-minute emergency, and caring for our two very spoiled pups for three days in a row! Our dogs are not used to being away from us, but Jean is such a natural that they settled in right away. The photos she sent throughout the day showed their quick comfort and the sweetest moments of them cuddling with Jean and her husband, as well as gradually bonding with her own friendly dogs. On the third day, when an unexpected situation kept us out much later than planned, Jean was incredibly flexible and understanding, making the whole experience completely stress-free for us. She truly went above and beyond, and we honestly feel like she saved us. We’ve found our go-to sitter. No need to look anywhere else.”
“Rionnagh was incredibly responsive, friendly, and communicative throughout our experience. She kept us updated with frequent messages and photos of our dog, which we greatly appreciated. When we needed last-minute accommodations, Ri was accommodating and made the process seamless. Though her location was a bit out of the way, we’d happily use her services again for her excellent care and reliability.”

“I was super nervous to leave my tripod pup with a stranger, but Jason really made us and our pup comfortable. We met at a local park to make sure everything was a good fit. He asked all of the right questions to make me feel he would take care of my pup. During Ollie's stay he sent tons of videos and pictures. My dog was wagging his tail in everyone. My dog was so happy and we will definitely be return visitors.”
“Jessie did a great job taking care of my pup while I was away. Jessie was friendly as were her dogs. I got photos daily and updates on what Jovi was up. I appreciated the quality care and highly recommend Jessie and her "pack" to anyone looking for dog care.”
About: I have worked as a detection dog handler and gun dog handler for a few years now. I have also trained my own dog to complete multiple tasks for different purposes. I know how to get your pup tired mentally and physically while having fun and have the patience necessary to help them learn new tricks and become familiar with a new place! I have a flexible work schedule so rest assured that your pup will get plenty of exercise and will play fun games throughout the day! I also live very close to a fenced tennis court (if your pup is into tennis balls and fetching) and a fenced park with soccer fields. I provide a safe and clean environment with a fenced yard and a friendly and playful dog to keep your pup company. I have an extra crate (size XL) if your pup is crated-trained. I also have lots of room to accommodate your own crate inside my living room. I have a doggie treadmill (Dog Trotter USA Inc), which we use to keep our dog active during very hot weather, and can use for your pup as well if interested! I always follow the owner’s instructions closely. Dogs are never unattended for long periods of time, and I always monitor them to make sure they’re feeling safe and comfortable at all times.
“Stormy loved staying with Lisa for two nights! She has a large backyard and a wonderful, sweet dog that Stormy enjoyed playing with. Lisa kept us up to date how things were going, including photo. Would highly recommend her services.”
“Shawna and her family made our fur baby feel right at home! Our dog is a large breed and has tons of energy. Shawna handled her well and we left on our vacation feeling at ease and confident our pet was in good hands. We will be booking any future stays with Shawna for sure!”
About: I have years of experience with my personal animals along with friends, I care for animals as if they were my own. They get the rule of the roost, and sleep in my bed! I often work 4 days a week so I have the long weekends to pet sit. If you need during the week it’s possible, as I have a doggy door and a 6 foot-dug into the ground fence, but would need to be the right fit while I’m at work, I have cameras to check on them too. Pets will get ample play time, walk/run and couch time too. The dog door is helpful once they figure it out, they can come and go as they please.
