“Jenny and her family were absolutely amazing to our dog Nika. They gave her so much care, thoughtfulness, scarfs, and love. We would highly recommend to anyone who loves their dogs as much as we love Nika!”
“Amazing experience. I myself am brand new to letting someone new watch our dog. Shardae is incredible attentive to each of the animals in her care. She notes all details to provide thoughtful and thorough updates about your pet. I loved the pictures that she sent of my pup so happy. I would strongly recommend.”
“Beverly was great! Super responsive. She clearly loves dogs and seems to have a great relationship with all the dogs in her care. I love how welcoming her home is to her furry visitors. Our dog is a senior pup who has a few age-related issues, and Beverly was fantastic with him. I will continue to utilize her when needed as peace-of-mind when I’m out of town is hugely important :)”
“Tatiana was the sweetest! She took such great care of our baby while we were gone. Our dog took to her immediately and I felt comfortable leaving her in her care.”
“Our experience with Ms. Jami and her mom was WONDERFUL. Our doggy Yoddah acclimated to her and her welcoming home immediately at our meet and greet. Jami was assuring, VERY nice and accommodating to our extended need for dog sitting! Jami sent pictures and a video showing Yoddah comfortable and happy! Our dog was pampered and enjoyed his stay. We will definitely be rebooking in the near future. We wish we could give 10 ⭐️'s❣️ Highly recommended. -theBookmans”
“It’s my very first time looking for a pet sitter because I’m always so anxious about leaving my dogs with people that I don’t know but I can’t thank Stephanie enough for taking care of my puppies! It was a great experience, my dogs had fun, played with other dogs and she was so accommodating to their needs and also to my last minute changes! I was getting daily updates and pictures too! I was comfortable because she has so many years of experience and a lot of good reviews! I can fully recommend her and I would definitely be happy to bring my dogs again! Thank you so much!!!”
“Nicholas was great with our Ollie! We had a good meet and greet. They have a wonderful yard for sniffing and a system of gates to keep your puppy safe. We felt good about leaving our Ollie with Nicholas and Cora because they were obviously experienced dog owners. He asked good questions to make sure he was prepared for making sure Ollie was as comfortable as possible. Nicholas was very communicative and gave us good updates on Ollie. Will definitely use their services again the next time we need a sitter”
“Finny had such a great time with Sherry! He came home happy, tired, and honestly a little heartbroken to leave his new dog friends behind. 🐾 It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was being loved and cared for like part of the family. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Xenia was really great with my dog and I trust her as a loyal customer after my travel. She provided many updates and photos, kept a great walking/play routine, Gave his medication and and made me feel assured that my dog was having an excellent stay.”
“Annie is amazing!! She took such good care of my boy Kuma. She sent me tons of photos throughout his stay and gave him plenty of exercise by talking him for walks and playing with him. Kuma had a great time with her. I would recommend Annie to everyone!”
“Leaving your loved one to a complete stranger is not very easy. It is a terrible feeling. So you look, read the reviews and hope for the best. Now...you are reading this review so you must be needing someone to take care of your baby. Look no further. Haley is the best. Haley took care of my frenchie for 4 days and 4 nights. She sent me daily photos and communicated with me any concern or questions she had. Looks like my grandfur kid found a new home. Thank you Haley!”
“Angela is an amazing at caring for our skittish doggie, and she is even flexible enough to accommodate drop ins for our kitties! Can't rave enough about how good she is. She takes time to get our fur babies acclimated to things, is very patient, provides daily updates and even a "Pawgress Report" for us when the booking is complete! Simply awesome! 😃”
“I contacted Krissy for a last minute stay over. She responded quickly, was pleasant and professional. I love how Krissy pays close attention to detail. She wanted to make sure that she knew my little girl: from her treats and her routine down to the way she likes to play ball. I never worried a minute while I was out of town because she had everything under control. I would HIGHLY recommend Krissy and her pet sitting services to ALL my famiky and friends with furry people.”
“10/10 recommend. My pup looked like what are you doing here when I picked up. He loved his stay with Ashley. Normally when I come get him he’s hyperventilating and whinny. But Ashley took very good care of him cause he was all smiles. Thank u so much.”
About: I’ve been officially pet sitting consistently since 2024 and have built my client base through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat bookings. I grew up with dogs but through petsitting, have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, tortoises, betta fish, shrimp, and chameleons. Most of my experience is with overnight stays ranging from weekend trips to 1–2 week vacations. I’m detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout their trip. As a powerlifter and active person, I’m comfortable with both short and long walks and can keep up with high-energy & strong dogs. I work in-office during weekdays but am available mornings, evenings, overnights, and am fully flexible on weekends. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I work in an office Monday through Friday, so I'm most flexible on weekends. For pets that are comfortable being home during the workday, I'm available for feeding, bathroom, and walks before work, in the evenings, overnight, and throughout the weekend. I am detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m flexible to either board your pet in my home, stay at your home whether for drop in visits or overnight stays, whatever you and your pet feel works best for their comfort. Prior to the stay, (my home or yours), we will go over your pet’s routine and your expectations to make sure this is a good fit before moving forward.
“Vanessa was extremely accommodating for our last minute dog sitting needs! Chester is high energy and she was able to manage him well. She sent lots of pictures and updates that were much appreciated. Thanks Vanessa!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We left our golden retriever with this wonderful family and their golden while we were out of town celebrating our son’s birthday. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent and they made us feel completely at ease. Our dog had the best time — it was her very first time staying with another golden retriever, and the two of them clearly had a blast together! Knowing she was in such loving, attentive hands allowed us to fully enjoy our family trip without worry. The updates and photos we received were such a treat. This family clearly adores dogs and provides genuine, caring, home-away-from-home care. We are already planning to book them again for our next trip. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Shannon went above and beyond in caring for our two cats! I appreciated her for jumping in for our sort of last minute request and doing such a great job. She communicates well, asks great questions — and her updates and pictures gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. She also got the cats to warm up to her so quickly so huge plus. Highly recommend”
About: I have experience caring for young cats and truly enjoy understanding their unique personalities and needs. I’m highly observant of behaviors that could affect their health or safety, allowing me to act early and keep them well. I pay close attention to their nutrition and can prepare balanced, home-cooked meals when needed. I’m also very organized, responsible, and committed to providing a calm, clean, and safe environment. Your cat will be cared for with patience, respect, and genuine affection.
“Aileen is the best! I have cats, dogs, fish, and shrimp and she did a great job with all. She followed all my instructions and I really appreciated all the photos. Being away from your beloved pets is very hard and it really helps to have those photos and updates. She was even able to get my one indoor female cat to come out which is amazing. That cat is afraid of everyone, but she came out for Aileen. If we go on vacation again, I would not hesitate to call on Aileen. Thank you!”
About: I have taken care of cats since I was a child with my mom. Always have been having 2 cats.. I have had a dog only for fostering for 2 months but I love them too. I feed cats, clean the litter box and check their condition and brush daily.
“"I can’t recommend Leiah enough! She is professional, down-to-earth, friendly, and an excellent communicator. From our meet and greet, it was clear she truly loves dogs and knows how to engage with them. She is punctual and provides great updates (and awesome photos!) which gives me total peace of mind while I’m away. If you're looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like her own, Leiah’s the needle in the haystack you are looking for!"”
About: I’ve had many pets since I was a child, from cats to chinchillas! Cared for puppies to senior doggos and love them all the same. I own a boba cafe that doesn’t require me to be there from day to day so I have time to look after your fur children. Plenty of love and attention for those that need it. If yours likes to do its own thing that’s no problem as well but will still show love!
“Ashley was able to take care of our 3 cats last minute. She was quick to respond and super nice. She made sure the cats had everything they needed for the weekend and sent updates with pictures. We’d definitely book with her again!”
“Zulaiha did a great job caring for our babies and sending detailed updates and pictures during her visit. She was very helpful with stepping in last minute and making sure one of our cats got his medicine and special food. Would definitely recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals, including being a proud mom to two cats, one of which has three legs, and owning dogs throughout my life. I understand the unique needs of pets, and I provide attentive, loving care as if they were my own, ensuring each one feels safe and comfortable.
About: I have a senior dog of my own and treat her like my own child. I make sure to give the dogs I care for stimulating activities, essential exercise, time outside to ground themselves in the grass, frequent potty breaks, and a healthy and nutritious diet. Given their short lifetime and unconditional love, I believe they deserve to live a fulfilling life and provide that for any pet I take care of. I am able to accommodate requests, but please ask with reasonable notice preferably in advance. The weekends are most flexible and some holidays may vary. Maintaining the pet's regular schedule for feeding, exercise, and playtime helps them feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. Engaging pets in stimulating activities and providing a cozy space with their favorite toys ensures mental and physical well-being. Consistent updates to the client, including photos and messages, offer reassurance and peace of mind. Delivering attentive and affectionate care, along with respecting the client's home, creates a positive and loving experience for both the pet and the client.
About: I have always been a dog person after watching the movie Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Ever since I was little we have always owned a dog, my god parents gave me a beautiful little shitzu but unfortunately we had to rehome him but years later I bought my own little maltese poodle. I have quite the experience with dogs because I’ve always been around them whether it’s my own, my family’s or friend’s. I currently only work 3 days out of the week as a receptionist in a chiropractor’s office so I have so much free time for your pups! I will spend time with your fur babies such as taking them on long walks, perhaps even teaching them a couple new tricks, cuddle with them and bathe them if you feel comfortable with that.
About: I’ve only cat sat a mutual friend cat for a little over a year at this point but I’ve also worked in an animal shelter focusing with the kittens and feral cats! So I’ve dealt with cats with many different kinds of personalities and can assure you I can provide excellent care of you baby
“Definitely first choice, glad i went with her! Book this beautiful young lady people you won’t regret it i promise. We received daily updates and pictures(she even got our very scary kitty who’s by the way never been a people person…to pet her) a miracle in my eyes lol so shout out to her. I’ll definitely be booking again !”
About: My first pet was a cat at age 5, and I’ve been a cat owner ever since. I love all cats as my own. I love that each cat has its own personality and habits! Growing up with cats my whole life has taught me the importance of maintaining their schedules while in my care. Rest assured your kitties will be in the most experienced and loving hands while in my care.
About: Hi there! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. From a young age, I felt a special connection with them, and that passion eventually grew into a career dedicated to their health, safety, and well-being. I currently work remotely, full-time, for a nonprofit animal protection organization and have more than eight years of professional veterinary experience. I’ve worked in both a family-owned general practice and a specialty emergency animal hospital. As a companion animal owner myself, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your companion. Whether we’re going for a walk, enjoying playtime, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure your companion receives the attention, safety, structure, and affection they deserve. ❤️ Because I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Outside of occasional errands, travel, or personal commitments, I am generally available for afternoon and evening drop-in visits throughout the week. I am also available for in-home pet sitting, which allows your companion animal(s) to remain in the environment where they feel most comfortable and secure. PLEASE NOTE, for in-home pet sitting that falls on weekdays (Mon–Fri): As mentioned above, I work remotely and will need WiFi access throughout the day while caring for your companion animal(s). To help protect your network security, I recommend providing me with a temporary or guest password. Whether you’re out of town overnight or away for a few weeks, I am available to provide house and pet sitting in the comfort of your home. I believe it’s often best for companion animals to remain in their familiar environment, where they can maintain their normal routines and feel safe, secure, and comfortable. While you’re away, I will provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to your pet’s individual needs. This includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, enrichment, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection. I understand that trusting someone with both your companion animal(s) and your home is a big decision. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and regular updates, including photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your companion is safe and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Trained Nurse & Professional Chef Ready to Pamper Your Pup! HI there! We are Andres and Sherry, and we can’t wait to welcome your dog into our home. Andres is a trained nurse with extensive experience caring for both humans and animals. He shares a unique, natural bond with dogs—he has yet to meet a pup that doesn't love him, and he finds true peace in their presence. Sherry is a professional chef who coordinates our daily routines. Every morning begins with a slow, relaxed breakfast, a neighborhood walk, and feeding. Because of Andres’s medical background, we are highly experienced and comfortable administering any necessary medications or supplements exactly on schedule. When Sherry returns from work, she handles dinner, evening walks, and a second round of love and treats. As a chef, she even loves baking healthy, homemade doggie treats for our guests!

While at our home, your dog will enjoy daily walks and full access to our securely fenced yard. Plenty of snuggles, affection, and treat breaks are an absolute must! We always keep the water bowls fresh with the right alkaline water for dogs PH level and adhere to your dog's specific feeding and med schedules. We highly encourage pet parents to bring along anything that will make your dog’s transition easier. This includes their favorite bed, crate, bowls, food, treats, toys, and any necessary medications. Over the years, we have found that sending a piece of your clothing that smells like you makes a huge difference—it helps them feel secure and miss you less. Packing these familiar items ensures a much smoother, stress-free stay at our home!
“Bailey had such a blast at daycare with Liz, Ash & their dog, Miles! We knew our pup would be in great hands as soon as we met Liz & Ash, they are super friendly and extremely responsive. They made us feel comfortable right away and took such great care of Bailey while we were at work with frequent updates. They have a beautiful backyard that our dog loved so much - I think she had a hard time coming home afterwards! Their dog Miles is high energy (super great playmate) but is also very respective of our dogs boundaries when she didn’t want to play or share toys. He’s a very good boy! We definitely recommend Liz & Ash and Bailey will be back!!”

Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just keeping them company, your pet will get tons of love, attention, and patience while they’re with me. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work from home and have plenty of flexibility. I get regular breaks every two hours and a full hour for lunch, which gives me lots of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day.

My goal is to make their stay feel safe, familiar, and stress-free.
“This was his very first time at an all-day daycare, and I was honestly pretty nervous leaving him. From the start, Shardae made everything feel so easy and reassuring. She sent thoughtful updates and photos throughout the day, and every single one showed a happy, relaxed pup who was clearly being cared for and loved. Seeing him playing and comfortable truly put my mind at ease. All I ever want is for my dog to feel safe, happy, and loved, and that is exactly what Shardae provided. Total success. I would absolutely trust her again and recommend her to anyone looking.”
“Elaine offered the perfect dog day care for our boy! She sent photos throughout the day of Loki meeting and playing with new friends, meal time and rest time. She sent a report card at the end of the day so we knew how the day was for him. We will definitely bring him again for those long days when we aren’t able to be home with him!”
“Marco had a wonderful day! I really appreciated all the updates and photos throughout his stay. It was great seeing that he got a nice walk and lots of attention. He came home happy and relaxed, which is always the best sign. Thank you for taking such good care of him — I would definitely book again!”
“John and Miyabi were great sitters for my 1.5 year old pup! They communicate well, kept me updated during the stay and were extremely friendly to Affy. Thank you guys for taking care of him!”
“Kyle was incredible with my Coco! I could tell from our meet and greet that our pups would get along great. I am very selective with whom I trust my girl with, so it was nice to meet him in person prior to making final arrangements. Happy to report: he’s great! I was happy to see the photos of Coco’s day, and it was comforting knowing she was in good hands while I had to work to meet all of her demands. Coco was a happy pup and came home ready for bed! So I’d say she had time well spent. Will definitely continue to book with him!”
About: I was a dog owner for 15 years; she passed away about 3 years ago. Her beds are so big and comfy I didn't want to throw them away. I had proclaimed this to be a forever dog home! Since then, I began dog sitting for friends from my church. I knew if a dog came over, I would want it to be comfortable. I enjoy learning each dog's personality and needs because all dogs are different. My friend's dog doesn't like to be pet but loves to sit next to me. I learned that different dogs have different needs and wants. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs through walks, companionship, and learning each dog's unique personality and needs. Some dogs love affection while others prefer quiet company, and I respect and adjust to what makes each dog most comfortable. Dog sitting allows me to provide attentive, loving care while giving dogs a calm and supportive environment. I am working but I make my own schedule. I would take care of your baby just like my own, We would go for a walk at least twice a day. Ill feed once or twice a day, depending on instructions. My mom {Frances} lives right next door, and she is my emergency contact. She loves dogs too. She is a great help if I need to step out for a minute. I do enjoy seeing the dog happy and comfortable, the rest of the day will consist of making that happen. Your pet will get a one on one experience. I will care your pet just like I would do my own. Again, a home away from home. When I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is take my fur buddy outside. Next is breakfast and play time if it's preferred. I look for direction from the owner on specific things to know and look for to make my fur buddy comfortable. Safety is #1. Every decision is made with safety first in mind. Second is satisfaction for the pet and the owner.
About: Experience with older dogs and their needs, sometimes they may need extra help, For example. When my families geriatric dog No longer could climb the stairs we would have to carry her. I learned about diet changes as she got older. Since I am retired, I have time to share and spend with your pet, Snacks, Walks and playtime. They will have my full attention daily. I create a safe, Clean and Caring environment, home away from home for your pet, With access to their water, food and toys I'll make sure they're comfortable with their bedding and or cage.
About: There is always someone home, so even if I'm out, your dog will always have someone around. We're naturals at communicating with animals, which helps when a dog is nervous & unsure. This includes verbal communication & body language. We have decades of experience with animals, given thousands of dog walks & find dogs to be very therapeutic. We have a yard for exercise & play. If your dog(s) don't get along with my pets, there's plenty of room to keep them separate. We often have other other dogs around, such as our new housemate's dog, and those of friends and family who hang out here. Your dog will be around other dogs, and will not be bored. We require meet and greets to make sure your dog will get along, not just with our dog(s) but with any others who might come in for daycare and play dates. Dogs are our life. We're always taking care of an animal in some way. In addition to exercising & boarding, we also handle vet visits. Our home is on a quiet cul de sac with lots of trees. We have a fenced yard, extra rooms, & a large vehicle for your pet's comfort.

“I have a 63lb gentle dog who is cautious with new people. Aileen was referred to me by someone in my neighborhood. My first impressions of Aileen was her dedication to her existing clients, her professionalism and sweet nature toward my dog. She was also very accommodating and did/does her best to fit our needs. My dogs ultimate display of comfort and excitement to see someone is her happy growls which I’ve seen her do when Aileen arrives. As much as I love having Aileen my dog does too. I’ve hired Aileen many times now and wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”

I’m available all day on the weekends but only available all day on some weekdays. I’ll make sure all food/bathroom areas are clean and home is secured before leaving. I can follow instructions, no matter how specific or silly they can be.
“I have been meaning to leave a review for Allen as he’s been our regular dog walker for a while. Allen has been very caring with our two dogs, including one somewhat hostile chihuahua and one elderly chihuahua who is blind and suffering from cognitive decline. He’s been so flexible and understanding with our elderly dog’s evolving care needs and is always so communicative.”
“Mars was amazing! Mars showed up on time and also helped administer multiple types of medication . Mars was super communicative and very easy to work with! I would absolutely book again!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for the cats and dogs of friends and family — handling feeding routines, daily walks, drop-ins, and keeping pets happy and comfortable when their people are away. I’m calm, attentive, and treat every animal like my own. Your pet will always feel safe, loved, and right at home with me. Pet care is a priority in my routine, not an afterthought. My schedule is flexible and mostly open, which means I can show up consistently and give your pet the time and attention they actually deserve! When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Your pet stays in their own space, surrounded by everything familiar — their smells, their favorite spots, their routine. I follow your lead on feeding, walking schedules, and any specific needs your pet has. I match my energy to theirs — calm and quiet when they need to decompress, playful and engaged when they’re ready for it. Your home stays tidy, your pet stays comfortable, and you stay informed the whole time!
About: We personally have a working dog breed with endless energy. Our pup also deals with separation anxiety, so we understand how to provide support dogs who experience the same issues . With 10+ years of dog companionship experience, you can feel comfortable knowing your family member is in good hands. Your pup will always have company and supervision in our home. I work 4 days a week and my husband wfh full time. He does travel periodically. Please see availability on the calendar for the most accurate schedule. I understand deeply how important it is treat every dog specific to their required needs. Every dog will be treated like my own family member. Please provide any quirks your pup may have. Miles does seek dominance with other male pups, for now we are only accepting spayed females.
About: I’ve been working with animals for over 25 years, including 10 years as a veterinary technician and as a behavioral dog trainer. As a former vet tech, I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, topical, injectable), monitoring special-needs pets, and caring for both senior dogs and tiny puppies who need a little extra attention. My background in animal behavior allows me to read a dog’s body language, support anxious or high-energy pups, and create a calm, positive experience on every walk. Whether your dog needs structure, gentle reinforcement, behavior training, or just a patient friend, I’m confident, capable, and committed to their safety and comfort. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m currently not working a traditional job, which gives me plenty of time to focus on walking, caring for, and spending quality time with your fur baby. My schedule is very flexible — mornings, afternoons, evenings, and last-minute bookings all work for me. I love being outdoors, staying active, and making every walk a positive, enriching experience for the dogs I care for. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize comfort, consistency, and following your routine exactly as you outline it. I’m a detail-oriented and caring individual, so whether your pet needs medication, a specific feeding schedule, gentle reassurance, or extra playtime, I make sure everything is done just the way you prefer. My goal is to keep your pet feeling safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
About: I have hands-on experience working in an animal shelter, where I cared for pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable providing medication and giving extra attention to pets that require special care, including senior pets or those needing additional support. I also have pets of my own — a dog and a cat — so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and making sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always aim to provide dependable, attentive care. I am home for the summer, so I have full availability from June all the way to mid-August! Have a trip, weekend getaway, or last-minute date night? I will be happy to watch your furry friend :) I’m unable to host pets in my own home since I don’t have a yard, but I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable, and high-quality care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while following your routines and instructions to keep them comfortable and happy.
About: I've been a dog owner for 15 years and have also fostered puppies and kittens in the past 2 years. I'm happy to take your furbabies on walks, encourage them to socialize, and help reinforce training, if desired. I'm usually available for boarding on most days and weekends upon reasonable notice. I currently work a flexible hybrid schedule, which would allow me to work from home during the week on a need basis, just let me know ahead of time. We currently have an 8 month old pup at home. She’s well socialized, up to date on her shots, and lovesss to have guests over. I will treat your fur baby with the same care and attention I treat our Momo. I like to stick to meal schedules, dedicated play time, and routine walks to ensure a healthy diet and plenty of exercise time!
About: I have 4 years of experience in animal hospitals, love all animals, and provide attentive, loving care for puppies, seniors, and pets with medical needs. I'm a dedicated student with a super flexible class schedule, making house sitting and drop-ins easy. I love giving pets tons of attention, comfort, and reliable care! I always respect your home and routines to help your pet feel comfortable and safe. I follow all care instructions closely and keep things clean and calm. I give lots of love, watch for signs of stress or illness, and make sure your pet feels secure, whether it's playtime, feeding, or quiet company.

About: My experiences with animals have ranged from puppies to horses growing up. And I have previously dog sat for family friends over the last few years. I’m currently enrolled in college online. So I am available most of the week while working early mornings typically. Mornings, afternoons, nights. You name it. I like to keep a regular schedule for the pets, and I always make sure I’m there for the pet parents and their furry friends.
About: What sets me aside from other sitters is I’ve been a pet owner nearly my entire life. Before I learned to read I was a cat owner. By the time I was in middle school I was a dog owner. I love animals of all sizes, temperaments, and breeds. I strive to ensure all animals in my care are treated as my own. My pets are a big highlight to my day to day life, and watching yours will be a great addition to that! I am a construction worker, my work day starts at 5am and is over the latest by 1am. I am available weekends and also weekdays for overnights, drop ins, or partial days if needed. I am open to overnights as long as my work schedule is okay with you! I only offer my services in clients home. I offer overnight care and ensure that during my stay I leave your home as clean as it was left. If additional tasks are requested such as watering plants, gathering mail, etc, I’d be happy to do so!

“Amazing experience. I myself am brand new to letting someone new watch our dog. Shardae is incredible attentive to each of the animals in her care. She notes all details to provide thoughtful and thorough updates about your pet. I loved the pictures that she sent of my pup so happy. I would strongly recommend.”
“It’s my very first time looking for a pet sitter because I’m always so anxious about leaving my dogs with people that I don’t know but I can’t thank Stephanie enough for taking care of my puppies! It was a great experience, my dogs had fun, played with other dogs and she was so accommodating to their needs and also to my last minute changes! I was getting daily updates and pictures too! I was comfortable because she has so many years of experience and a lot of good reviews! I can fully recommend her and I would definitely be happy to bring my dogs again! Thank you so much!!!”

About: I’ve been officially pet sitting consistently since 2024 and have built my client base through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat bookings. I grew up with dogs but through petsitting, have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, tortoises, betta fish, shrimp, and chameleons. Most of my experience is with overnight stays ranging from weekend trips to 1–2 week vacations. I’m detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout their trip. As a powerlifter and active person, I’m comfortable with both short and long walks and can keep up with high-energy & strong dogs. I work in-office during weekdays but am available mornings, evenings, overnights, and am fully flexible on weekends. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I work in an office Monday through Friday, so I'm most flexible on weekends. For pets that are comfortable being home during the workday, I'm available for feeding, bathroom, and walks before work, in the evenings, overnight, and throughout the weekend. I am detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in following care instructions closely so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m flexible to either board your pet in my home, stay at your home whether for drop in visits or overnight stays, whatever you and your pet feel works best for their comfort. Prior to the stay, (my home or yours), we will go over your pet’s routine and your expectations to make sure this is a good fit before moving forward.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We left our golden retriever with this wonderful family and their golden while we were out of town celebrating our son’s birthday. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent and they made us feel completely at ease. Our dog had the best time — it was her very first time staying with another golden retriever, and the two of them clearly had a blast together! Knowing she was in such loving, attentive hands allowed us to fully enjoy our family trip without worry. The updates and photos we received were such a treat. This family clearly adores dogs and provides genuine, caring, home-away-from-home care. We are already planning to book them again for our next trip. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Michelle and her family were a 10/10. Miso had the best time with her and her kids and she was very well taken care of. She was also so good about sending so many photo and video updates and I appreciate her treating my girl like one of her own.”
“I’m so pleased with the service John and Milano provided. I received multiple pictures and videos throughout the stay to reassure me Elsa was good and happy. It looks like Elsa loved her stay. I recommend them. They made Elsa feel welcomed from the moment we dropped her off.”
“Boba loved his stay with Emily and Maple…. Maple is so gentle and friendly. Emily is very attentive to details,and sends updates and pictures…and lots of walk and play time… Boba came home clean,happy and well taken cared…. will definitely book again….

“Sylwia was amazing with Pico and Ziggy! She sent tons of updates of them playing and going on walks. They loved her large back yard! I’m sure they’re already looking forward to staying with her again sometime. Thank you again!”
“Marilyn is so professional and reliable, we are so happy to have found her. She took our dogs last minute and we have definitely found our fit! She has a very large yard which includes a huge portion of it dedicated for dogs which is separated by a fence, just what our furry friends needed, not to mention the care and individual attention that she provided. I would definitely recommend her, and I am sure we will be back. Thanks much Marilyn!!”
About: I’m a dog mom of 8 years, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Over the years I’ve helped family and friends with their pets—everything from energetic puppies and senior dogs to rabbits, cats, and even goats! I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just keeping them company, your pet will get tons of love, attention, and patience while they’re with me. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work from home and have plenty of flexibility. I get regular breaks every two hours and a full hour for lunch, which gives me lots of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day. I also don’t go out much, so I’m home almost all day—meaning your pet will have constant company, attention, and a calm, comfortable environment. Your pet won’t ever feel lonely here! In my home, your pet will have plenty of comfort and space. I live in a spacious home with room for your pet to settle in and feel relaxed. I also have a friendly dog who loves company and gets along well with other pets. You’re welcome to bring any of your pet’s personal items—beds, toys, or a crate—and I have plenty of room to set everything up exactly the way they’re used to. My goal is to make their stay feel safe, familiar, and stress-free.
“Thank you Bethany for a terrific experience. She met with us a week before since it was our first time having her board our dog. We received good updates and pictures during the stay.”
“Upon arrival I instantly felt comfortable leaving Louis with Gina! She was very welcoming, friendly & such a positive vibe! She instantly took a liking to my little guy & I knew they would hit it off & he would be well taken care of. She kept me updated throughout his stay & sent lovely pics. I was confident Louis was in good hands! Gina is very accommodating as I needed to extend my time last minute and I am grateful for her flexibility. Definitely will be using her again!!”
“I felt such a relief after meeting Stephanie when I had to go out of town two days after moving here. She kept me updated with photos of my sweet boy and he seemed so happy and comfortable with her. Will definitely be using her services again!”
“Leaving my dog on a holiday was heartbreaking for me, but I knew he would be well taken care of with Ron, and I felt better about it! I will absolutely board my Dillon with Ron again.”
“Brandie was a life saver and accommodated my pup last minute. Without preparation she helped her feel comfortable in her home immoderately. Sent good pics and updates, I would book again!”
