About: We absolutely love animals, and want to share our home and fenced yard with your pooch. We understand what it’s like to leave your dog with someone else while you’re away; we will treat your dog like a member of our family. I (Diana) grew up on a farm with lots of different animals and dogs, and understand how each one has their own fantastic personality. Just let me know what they need, and I can do it. We’ve had puppies, older dogs, big dogs, small dogs, and everything in between! My tween/teen kids are kind and fun with animals, and will provide even more love and attention for your dog while they stay with us. Thank you for trusting us with your favorite furry buddy! We primarily work from home so we can spend a lot of quality time with your dog. We have a Newfoundland-poodle mix of our own, so our daily routine is already focused on dog care (feeding, walking, letting outside, etc). Just let me know what your dog needs! We also have goats, chickens, outdoor cats, and a couple of feral peacocks that hang around the property. It’s a pet paradise. 😊 We have a large fenced yard and a big goofball named Hoagie to keep your doggy company. We will love and care for your dog as if he/she was our own, because that’s what we would expect for Hoagie while we’re away. We have extra pet beds, food and water dishes, etc. Our yard is perfect for a game of fetch, a sunbathing session, playtime with Hoagie, or just a great sniff. We’re happy to have your dog sleep in one of our bedrooms, take them for walks, and give them all the love.
“Koda and Sasha stayed with Grant for a week. Koda (lab) settled in right away, Sasha (basset/shepherd mix) took a couple of days, but the pictures tell the story; they appeared pretty happy and tired from playing. Grant is at the top of the list for the next time.”
“What an amazing experience! Kelsey took such great care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I loved all the photos and regular updates she sent. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Ruby does a great job and communicates well. The pictures and videos sent daily are wonderful. I would recommend Ruby for dog care and we hope to use Ruby’s service again on future needs.”
“Aaron was very responsive and easy to communicate with. He made sure our dog felt at ease during merry and greet and drop off. We will definitely utilize Aaron in the future!”
“We are glad we found Logan in town! We needed a petsitter for the weekend, and Logan was available! She was great, took them on walks, send pictures and updates! We’d definitely recommend her for anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. Thank you Logan for the great care of our pets!”
“Lainey loved her stay with Amanda! Amanda sent me lots of photos and kept in good communication. She took our dog out on walks and did lots of outside time with her. She was also flexible with pickup time for us!”
“Samantha was fantastic with our babies. This is not your typical boarding place. She described it as summer camp for doggies and it is accurate. The area she has set up for the dogs is well thought-out, clean, and meets all of their needs and more. She took lots of pictures (different subject but her pictures were amazing), kept me updated throughout the day and let me know when my dogs were tucked in for the night. My city dogs got to meet horses, goats, and pigs and I think they had a great time, because they slept for so long when they got home. Im looking forward to their next summer camp with Samantha!”
“Our puppy had a 4-day stay with Nicole and Jarrod and she really enjoyed it. Being a high-energy breed, they made sure to keep her engaged and exercised throughout the stay. She was visibly tired when we picked her up, which means she had a great time. It's clear that Nicole and Jarrod are animal lovers and they made sure to integrate our puppy into their family during her stay. We also appreciated receiving daily updates and photos while we were away. We are grateful to them both for taking care of our puppy and giving her plenty of love and attention.”
“Linda and Dan are wonderful, and their property is a Disneyland for dogs! I have a very attached dog and was very nervous to leave her. She did great, and Linda sent me lots of pictures and updates. I will always use Linda and Dan!”

“Debra was wonderful. I was half was around the world & never worried about my boy. She sent lots of pictures & updates, which kept my mind at ease & allowed me to enjoy my trip. I have trouble finding people to watch my boy because Chow Chow’s have a bit of a bad reputation, even though mine is sweet as can be. She didn’t hesitate & I’m so grateful. Would use her services again & again. 🐾”
“What an amazing experience! My puppy was so happy and came home almost sad to leave! The daily updates and pictures put my mind to ease! Thank you, Diane for treating him like family!”
“Pam took wonderful care of Susie !!! I couldn’t be more pleased with her and will definitely have Susie stay with her again. One of my favorite comments was that she treated Susie like a Grand Dog. That was just what I wanted to hear. I would highly recommend Pam !!!”
“I was nervous having to use this app for my dogs to stay the night at a strangers house. My original plans fell through. Hailey not only accommodated my last minute plans so I could still go on my trip, I completely messed up the booking and she had no clue problems accommodating this as well. She gave me updates throughout the visit. I was so happy to hear my dogs got along great with her dogs and kids. She used her best judgement on when she introduced the dogs which all I wanted was for her to be comfortable. I did tell her my dogs go to daycare 4 days a week so I know my dogs are well behaved but you still never know. I will definitely be using her again. She already said she would be happy to watch my dogs for my vacation in July.”
“Nicole went above and beyond to make sure my pup was comfortable and well adjusted to her home. She also went above and beyond with communicating with me! I’ll be booking again!”
“Jennifer was a pleasure to work with. She was always quick to respond and she sent lots of photos of our boy having fun with her pup. He came home exhausted, that's a good thing! We will certainly use Jennifer again! Thank you again Jennifer!”

“Sonya is a star! 🌟 I am so happy with her care and support of my fur babies. She was punctual, attentive and so warm and loving of my kitties. All directions were followed purrfectly, and she even brought a brushy glove of her own to love up on my cats with. I am super super pleased and will definitely be looking to request her to help us again in the future. I highly recommend Sonya for reliable, caring and loving pet services!! You will not be disappointed! 🐾🐈⬛💟💯☮️🐈🐾”

About: I'm a bit new to the cat owner world, but I love it! About eight months ago, my families cat gave birth to a litter of eight kittens. It was so fun to be able to watch as they grew and formed their own personalities. This made me realize how much I really love cats, and made the choosing between cats and dogs much harder!
About: Hello! Thank you for taking interest. I am an animal lover who is trying to make some extra money doing something I care about. I've been housesitting for about 4-5 years for mostly dogs and cats, but I have had the occasional snake or fish, even a pig once! I'm very excited to meet you and your pets!
“Yolanda is genuinely fantastic!!! First of all, she’s so kind and you can tell she truly loves animals and people. She came and met our furry family and was very attentive to the details of how to care for them. Prior to our vacation, she checked in and was very communicative and excited to come and stay. I sent a few videos via the app on some updated protocols with the kitty meds, and she was on it! While she was here, she sent sweet pics of our kitties and kept us posted. Our cats are “elders” and needs meds, and she did a great job handling all of it! She left our house spotless and communicated prior to heading out as well. I would HIGHLY recommend Yolanda to care for you furry family ❤️🙏”
About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid, and even had the opportunity to volunteer at a boarding place when I was 8 where I got to play with, help train and take care of the dogs that came through. I’ve being pet sitting for about 3 years now for friends, neighbors, and strangers I’ve met through others I have previously pet sat for. I’m currently a full time college student and have been needing some extra money to help me get through, so I thought this would be a perfect fit! I have a large fenced yard with two dogs and two cats who my family and I love dearly. One of our cats was actually a pregnant stray who we brought in, and had a litter of 7 kittens!
About: I've been pet sitting and farm/house sitting since I was about 14 years old and grew up with animals of my own on my parents' farm. I'm super excited and also very confident in my abilities to watch and care for your pet as if they were my own! I work remotely, so I'm able to cater my schedule to the needs of any pets I'm sitting. This could mean early morning and evening walks, mid day check ins, etc. I take notes on what the owner typically offers the pet in their normal day to day and incorporate that so the pet feels as comfortable as possible. However, I will ask if your pet (if a dog) is up for a daily hike as this is what I do by myself regardless. Secretly looking for a hiking buddy 👀
“Jillian was great! She ensured Sunny was well looked after and at ease during the fireworks, and she kept me updated with numerous photos of their brushing and cuddling sessions. It's clear that they had many exciting outdoor adventures, given that Sunny is an outdoor cat. Jillian ensured his food and water dishes were always full, provided plenty of tuna snacks, and even cleaned his litter box. Considering the way they interacted in the videos, it's evident that they share a special bond. I wholeheartedly recommend Jillian and will definitely hire her again.”
“Natalie did a great job of taking care of my 3 pups and kitties while I was away for the weekend. She was very caring and communicative, and clearly loves animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I am a cat lover! I have two cats of my own. My first one I found her at the “Dollar Tree” at 2 months old and took her under my wing! The second cat I adopted him at 5 months old. Growing up with cats and having my own I have a deep passion for them! Love working with any cat.
About: Taking care of animals is my second nature. I grew up with animals; horses, cats, dogs, birds, rodents my entire life. I naturally feel their needs and have an unconditional love for animals I am super flexible for the summer. Tell me where you and your pet need help and I'm sure that we can work it out. I have a dog myself who loves to join walks. He is very well behaved and has taught several young dogs the code of social and healthy dog behavior. Of course I will keep your dog on a leash or in a crate when necessary
“Colin did a great job taking care of our animals while we were on vacation. He was great with communication and always kept me up on how things were going. It was great to feel comfortable leaving on vacation and knowing our animals were well cared for.”
“Anna took excellent care of Bubba while we were away for a weekend. We came home to a happy, well-fed cat. The photos were great and we could tell he had a great time when she stopped by. Would recommend Anna anytime! Thanks!”

“We came to Nevada City for a wedding and needed to find daycare for our dog Buckeye. Aron had wonderful revues and lots of repeat customers, so we felt good about leaving Buck with him. It was a great experience and Aron was as wonderful as his revues. We especially enjoyed receiving photos of Buck enjoying himself in the wading pool while we were at the wedding. Buckeye had a great time with Aron and his other dog charges and was a happy and tired boy when we picked him up. We highly recommend Aron.”
“We were camping with our dog in June Lake and wanted to do a day trip to Yosemite. Unfortunately, being a national park, dogs are not allowed on most trails. Tanya was a great way for all of us to enjoy the day, and she's so convenient being less than 5 minutes away from Tioga Pass. We dropped Jake off a bit later than planned because a few in our group struggled with the early wake-up we had planned, but Tanya was understanding and accommodating. We had a full day in Yosemite and picked Jake up in the late afternoon. Highly recommended for anyone in the June Lake or Mammoth Lakes area who can't take their pup on a trip or just wants to give your dog a break.”
About: We loved our pound puppy from birth until he passed at year 13:(. We love all things dog. We saw him through the puppy years, daily walks, and the older years with wagon rides. We will love your baby as we loved ours. I am stay at home mom with two littles who love dogs!! We can’t wait to walk your dog several times a day and snuggle. We walk all the time, go to parks, have a fenced in area (10x10 area), snuggle. We are a responsible family, we eat healthy and feed our family/ pets the same. We enjoy the outdoors, non smoking, super clean people:)
“Nicole and Jarrod are amazing for doggy daycare. You know your dog has fun when they’re excited to leave not to mention the fun places they take the dogs. Thanks again guys”
“Leslie was my kind of people, AND my doggos' kind of people! She was patient with my anxious guy Walter and delighted in the antics of our puppy Dolly. She was lovely about my concerns and allowed me to sit with the dogs to ease into the stay and socializing with her dog Daisy, who was gracious about the energy my dogs have! We will definitely be back! Thank you, Leslie!”
“Shout to Stephen for providing responsive and professional care to my 4yo labradoodle Gracie. Stephen is patient and kind to Gracie and all her personalities, so we rely on him for weekly daycare which involves early drop offs, updates throughout care, and late pickups. Stephen responds quickly and is happy to help so hit him up for inquiries.”
“Louisa was extremely flexible and accommodating to our last minute needs. She was very sweet and kept us updated with photos which, as new puppy parents, we loved!! Thanks Louisa:)”
“Katya provided a safe, comfortable, happy play stay for our 20-month-old golden retriever. Mattie loved playing with Dewi and Mishka! Katya's calm demeanor put our girl at ease right away. You can tell that she is a dog lover who understands how to take charge while still having fun. Definitely will use her services in the future!”
About: Dogs are part of the family! I grew up with animals and have always taken our responsibility to pets seriously. I'm trained as a professional pet nutrition advocate and have experience not just feeding all the pets but truly healing thru nutrition with everything from making whole foods and supplements, to designing recipes and diets, including the treats, to training and socializing dogs of all ages and backgrounds. I've built my schedule around pet care including making the foods and minimum 2 walks a day. I'm happy to make time for the pets anytime! Whether I'm staying over with your dogs or they're staying over with me, I strive to keep them happy and healthy in every way with good nutrition, exercise and quality interaction.
“What a great environment for my dog. The backyard is a dog's dream, especially if your pup likes to run. Yolanda was very accommodating when I was delayed and kept me informed of how Beau was doing during his stay. I would highly recommend Yolanda and her Doggy Day Care.”
About: Hi, we are Molly, Massimo and Zali. We've had dogs in our families and had taken care of pets of all kinds since we were kids. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on us to walk, feed and care for their pets of all shapes & sizes. We use positive reinforcement for training and pride ourselves on having trained Zali & other dogs basic commands, to walk both on & off leash, plus some fun party tricks. Our favorite “trick” is to ring a bell to go outside. On rainy days, we play hide & seek games with toys & treats around the house to make sure we’re all still getting plenty of stimulation. We’re still unsure who’s more entertained, us or the dogs, when they’re are searching for their reward ;) We are enthusiastic hosts & look forward to meeting you & your pup! We work from home and begin each day with a good romp in our big back yard and a long neighborhood walk. Our yard has plenty of shade and running water. Doggos and humans alike love it here 💓🐶 We live on a 2 acre fully fenced lot and have a sweet, 5 year old female boxer mix that will keep your dog company. She happily shares her toys; playing with other doggo friends & sunny naps are some of her favorite pastimes. While she is a large and playful dog, she is able to match any dogs level of excitement and play.

About: I've taken care of all different breeds of dogs my entire life. As well as personalities. Whether they're shedders, have an anxious attachment, are seniors, babies, aggressive/reactive dogs.. they all need love. And I'm here to help! I'm 100% available for your needs. I've been helping with animals my entire life, but I am new to the area. So I am fully available and looking for new opportunities! I worked 5 years for a family walking their dog an hour and a half every morning. They traveled during the summers and he would stay at my place and go on a ton of adventures with me! Whether it was beach trips, hikes, dog parks, sleepovers with friends and family.. he always tagged along! I’m happy to find a similar situation in Northern California. I am available full-time! I'm adaptable and am happy to accommodate to your needs. I know animal parents also have their preferences when it comes to how their babies are treated, so I'm here to do whatever it takes to make everyone comfortable.

“Sonya does an excellent job! Not only is she great with my crazy pup, her background in animal nutrition has been an invaluable resource as I am working to improve my dogs diet. I appreciate her availability and wonderful care!”
“Elle has a kind and humble manner with animals, and was able to gain the trust of our shelter adoptee with mild separation anxiety, early on. Elle has been Kai's main handler for the past two weeks and has been very consistent with the schedule and very capable with some simply training commands that have been countering some reactive behavior. We are very grateful!”
About: I have had an array of pets my entire life. I am a true animal lover! I even grew up breeding, training and showing dogs with my Mom. Currently I have 9 fur babies who are my best companions. They love new friends, are up for new adventures and are very sweet and social butterflies. I would love to care for your well mannered fur baby while you are away or just need a day here and there for walks, etc. Note: For boarding in our home we require your fur baby is well mannered, potty trained and gets along with both cats and other dogs. My schedule is pretty flexible most of the time and I enjoy being home with all the fur babies! My home is very spacious and fur baby friendly! I have a large safe open area for daytime play as well as plenty of room for cozy cuddles at bedtime. I typically allow all fur babies on couches and beds as well.
About: I have my own dog, 2 cats, and chickens. I've cared for many dogs and cats in my life and treat every animal with love as if it were my own. I have a housecleaning business and will leave your home clean upon your arrival, including all linens and beds made. Most of my sitting clients are referrals off app, but I'm scheduling new clients and excited to make new connections. NOTE: My dog comes with me to all clients homes. He is a very friendly, well behaved, respectful, submissive boy who loves making new friends. He's great with cats and all animals. I work part time, but have a very flexible schedule that I can easily make arrangements. Pet sitting is very suitable for my work life. I don't offer this service unless it is absolutely necessary and your pets are comfortable around other animals. I live on 25 acres and have a dog, cats and chickens at my home. They all roam freely around the property and the dog and cats have access to the home through a dog door.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. I walk a malamute and husky a lot. I pet sit for smaller dogs too. I love walking dogs because it’s a good exercise for them I currently am still in high school I graduate in June so right now I’m available to walk dogs around 4pm. I drive so I can do a little far distance When walking dogs I walk them for an hour and I always bring water to make sure they get the water they need and don’t overheat
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. I am 52 years old and began walking my neighbors' dogs and housesitting for friends. When I lost my soulmate Layla after 14 years, I found a big void in my life. Being around animal energy is so fulfilling for me. This is when I decided to offer my love to others fur babies. I feel an immediate connection when meeting my new friends, I look forward to meeting your loved ones! I recently moved to Lake Wildwood from Martinez where I had built up quite a clientele. I work remotely which gives me ample flexibility for play time, potty breaks, cuddles and exercise. I love having company when working. I am told I am a wonderful houseguest as I have so much respect and honor the responsibilities of being a guest in your home. I will leave your home exactly as you left it. I work in the Fitness Industry so your pup is in good hands whether they need a short stroll or a long hike!
About: People often say I have a way with animals. They always seem drawn to me immediately, even when they are wary of others. I feel honored that animals feel this way about me because I feel the same about them! I have cared for many dogs of all sizes as well as owned cats. I have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand that has many disabled dogs as well as fostered cats/kittens here at home. I have a big fenced yard with both grass and forest to run and play. I don’t have multiple dogs staying with me at one time ( unless discussed in advance) so your baby will get all the attention. Although I will never replace you, I can provide love and safety until you return (and probably some treats and adventures too!) I'm currently not working and can dedicate my time to pet/house sitting and care. As you can see from my photo gallery, I love all animals and have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand, fostered kittens at home, and have seen very cool animals in the wild and at animal rescues/sanctuaries around the world. (I always vet them to make sure they are ethical and doing legit work) I have a large fenced yard and indoor space for cats or dogs. We have plenty of shade and are also willing to take pets with us on outings. I live with my husband and son and they also love and respect animals. As far as caring for pets at someone else's home, I can stay at your house or check in as often as needed. I will play with them, feed them, bathe them, take them places (if requested) and give them love. I know they miss their people and its not the same without you, but I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable.
About: Some of my earliest memories are of taking care of Queensland Heeler puppies in my outdoor playhouse. My parents were breeders & ever since then I’ve had a very special connection to dogs! I have taken care of many different types of furry friends from puppies to seniors, from chihuahuas to Belgian Malinois. I have also fostered rescues in my home from time to time. All while having two dogs myself! Looking to build a relationship with a few clients who need their pups walked daily/ boarded while they are away at work or vacation. I am a new stay at home mom so my schedule is very open & flexible! I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for your pet and mine to run and play! I can also provide a crate in a spare bedroom for your pet if they need their own space. I am also very big on walks, me and my dogs go on a walk everyday! Plenty of treats & pets will be provided as well as updates & photos to you!
About: I am a huge animal lover with a lifelong passion for pet care. Growing up surrounded by animals, I learned early on how to provide attentive, loving, and reliable care. Whether it's an energetic kitten or a senior dog who needs a gentle touch, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Animals I have experience with: Cats & Dogs: All life stages, from playful kittens/puppies to sweet seniors. I have an incredibly flexible schedule right now, which means I have plenty of open time to dedicate entirely to your pets! My days are wide open to focus on your fur babies, ensuring they get regular bathroom breaks, plenty of active playtime, and all the attention they deserve. I am highly accommodating for weekday routines. Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities when caring for your animals. Whether visiting for drop ins or house sitting, I treat your home with the utmost respect and follow your exact instructions to keep your pets safe. As an obsessed cat parent with two felines of my own, I am highly attentive to animal behavior, ensuring a calm, happy, and completely stress free experience for your fur babies right in their own comfortable environment.
About: With over 18 years of experience living and working with dogs of all sizes, I have developed a deep understanding and passion for canine behavior, particularly with Bully breeds. My experience extends beyond typical pet care; for four years, I had the privilege of working with a no-kill shelter, where I honed my skills in training, redirecting aggression, and managing over-stimulation. I specialize in rebuilding trust with dogs who have had rough beginnings, carefully helping them heal and adjust so they can thrive in a new home. Whether it's gentle guidance or firm redirection, my goal is always to create a calm, loving environment where dogs can feel safe and be successfully integrated for rehoming. I work part time which leaves me free most days to play with or train with my furry friends. Days of the week may change during to a fluctuating work schedule but there is always 1-2 weeks notice if I am available or not. At this time I am just available to come to your home, or local outings. I do have a crate and a mid-sized vehicle, if needed I can transport or go on field trips to the dog park or river.
“Natalie is kind, consistent and reliable. We’ve been very lucky to have her skillful, calm, presence assisting with daily walks and positive reinforcement training for our high energy pup, Kai.”
About: I love being with all animals and especially older and disabled animals. I have my experience from working in Animal Shelters for about 2 years, doggie daycares, pet crematories and also petsitting for different companies and myself over 25 yrs. I am a full time traveling pet/housesitter with my 15yr old pup. I have owned many animals throughout my life and have experience with meds, subQ fluids, end of life, aggressive dogs/cats and finicky pets. I'll treat your babies as if they were mine! I can also share many reviews from other platforms upon request. I am always available to help you out with your fur babies anytime! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. Everyday, any time. A typical day for dog care is a 1-2 hr walk/hike in the morning, chill/snack/play, and then one more 1 hr walk in the evening. We go to a different location for each walk! I will follow all directions given in writing on how to care best for your sweet baby. I can do walks, playtime, exercise, training, massage and reiki and anything else needed!
About: Taking care of animals is my second nature. I grew up with animals; horses, cats, dogs, birds, rodents my entire life. I naturally feel their needs and have an unconditional love for animals I am super flexible for the summer. Tell me where you and your pet need help and I'm sure that we can work it out.

About: I offer calm, attentive care for pets, with a steady presence that helps animals feel safe and settled. • Experienced with dog walking, feeding, and drop-in care • Calm, attentive, and intuitive with animals of all temperaments • Comfortable with routines, medications, and special needs • Reliable and respectful in both short visits and extended care Over the past several years, I’ve immersed myself in house and pet sitting, earning a reputation for reliability, cleanliness, discretion, and a calm, responsible presence. I’m often entrusted with extended and live-in care, and I take stewardship of both pets and home seriously. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals and situations, including long-term dog sitting for a couple over several years, from weekend trips to multi-week stays. Before a period of travel abroad, they even flew me to Portland to care for their dogs, Sana and Osa, and their cat Ninja during a three-week wedding trip to Mexico. Sana required extra sensitivity and daily car rides to a quiet cemetery to avoid overstimulation, which I was happy to accommodate. I’ve also house- and pet-sat for a senior couple, caring for two cats, two chickens, and managing a daily bird-feeding system for local avian visitors who were dear companions to the homeowner. In another sit, I tended to a rescue crow and her two cat companions for a full month while the owners were in India studying Vedic astrology. In many of these situations, I’ve also been responsible for watering plants, collecting mail, maintaining routines, and simply being a reassuring human presence in the home—keeping things running smoothly, lights on, and the house clearly lived-in while owners are away. I’m very comfortable accommodating unique requests and supporting both pets and homes with care and respect. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be present and adapt my day around your pets’ needs. I’m able to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, medication, playtime, and companionship, and I’m open to coordinating routines that support your pet’s comfort and wellbeing. I provide care in my clients’ homes, maintaining their pets’ normal routines and environment. I focus on calm, attentive presence, safety, and clear communication. I’m comfortable administering medication, managing feeding and exercise, and keeping the home clean, secure, and lived-in while you’re away. I treat each home and animal with respect, discretion, and care.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of fostering several dogs and caring for many different breeds. I’ve dog-sat for multiple clients and have references available to vouch for my care. In addition to pet sitting, I worked at a kennel for two years where I cared for over 25 dogs, handling everything from basic kennel duties, veterinary care, and some light dog training. I’m passionate about understanding each dog’s unique needs and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. Whether it’s a walk, a visit, or extended pet sitting, I’m here to ensure your dog gets the love and attention they deserve. Spending time with animals is truly what makes me happiest, and I’m committed to giving your pets the best care possible! I currently have a very open schedule, and am available at all times.

I’m well-versed in handling any emergency that may come up, with extensive experience in managing various medical situations.

About: We absolutely love animals, and want to share our home and fenced yard with your pooch. We understand what it’s like to leave your dog with someone else while you’re away; we will treat your dog like a member of our family. I (Diana) grew up on a farm with lots of different animals and dogs, and understand how each one has their own fantastic personality. Just let me know what they need, and I can do it. We’ve had puppies, older dogs, big dogs, small dogs, and everything in between! My tween/teen kids are kind and fun with animals, and will provide even more love and attention for your dog while they stay with us. Thank you for trusting us with your favorite furry buddy! We primarily work from home so we can spend a lot of quality time with your dog. We have a Newfoundland-poodle mix of our own, so our daily routine is already focused on dog care (feeding, walking, letting outside, etc). Just let me know what your dog needs! We also have goats, chickens, outdoor cats, and a couple of feral peacocks that hang around the property. It’s a pet paradise. 😊 We have a large fenced yard and a big goofball named Hoagie to keep your doggy company. We will love and care for your dog as if he/she was our own, because that’s what we would expect for Hoagie while we’re away. We have extra pet beds, food and water dishes, etc. Our yard is perfect for a game of fetch, a sunbathing session, playtime with Hoagie, or just a great sniff. We’re happy to have your dog sleep in one of our bedrooms, take them for walks, and give them all the love.
“Koda and Sasha stayed with Grant for a week. Koda (lab) settled in right away, Sasha (basset/shepherd mix) took a couple of days, but the pictures tell the story; they appeared pretty happy and tired from playing. Grant is at the top of the list for the next time.”
“What an amazing experience! Kelsey took such great care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I loved all the photos and regular updates she sent. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Aaron was very responsive and easy to communicate with. He made sure our dog felt at ease during merry and greet and drop off. We will definitely utilize Aaron in the future!”
“We are glad we found Logan in town! We needed a petsitter for the weekend, and Logan was available! She was great, took them on walks, send pictures and updates! We’d definitely recommend her for anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. Thank you Logan for the great care of our pets!”
“Lainey loved her stay with Amanda! Amanda sent me lots of photos and kept in good communication. She took our dog out on walks and did lots of outside time with her. She was also flexible with pickup time for us!”
“Samantha was fantastic with our babies. This is not your typical boarding place. She described it as summer camp for doggies and it is accurate. The area she has set up for the dogs is well thought-out, clean, and meets all of their needs and more. She took lots of pictures (different subject but her pictures were amazing), kept me updated throughout the day and let me know when my dogs were tucked in for the night. My city dogs got to meet horses, goats, and pigs and I think they had a great time, because they slept for so long when they got home. Im looking forward to their next summer camp with Samantha!”
“Our puppy had a 4-day stay with Nicole and Jarrod and she really enjoyed it. Being a high-energy breed, they made sure to keep her engaged and exercised throughout the stay. She was visibly tired when we picked her up, which means she had a great time. It's clear that Nicole and Jarrod are animal lovers and they made sure to integrate our puppy into their family during her stay. We also appreciated receiving daily updates and photos while we were away. We are grateful to them both for taking care of our puppy and giving her plenty of love and attention.”
“Linda and Dan are wonderful, and their property is a Disneyland for dogs! I have a very attached dog and was very nervous to leave her. She did great, and Linda sent me lots of pictures and updates. I will always use Linda and Dan!”
About: I love dogs, I love cats, and truly all animals. I treat every pet as family, offering dependable care, kindness, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible, so I can easily adapt to your pet’s needs. Mornings start with feeding, walks (if needed), and playtime. Throughout the day, I provide potty breaks, short walks, and attention. Evenings include dinner, exercise, and cuddles before a final bathroom break. Since I’m home often, your pet will get frequent companionship, and I can stick to their usual routine—whether that’s medication, training, or extra play. Weekends allow for longer adventures like park visits or extended play sessions. In My Home: I provide a pet-friendly space with scheduled feedings, walks, playtime, and cozy rest areas. Your pet gets constant attention, safe socialization (if approved), and a structured routine. I have 10+ acres of space to allow your pets to be free to have fun. In Client’s Home: I follow your pet’s normal schedule (meals, walks, meds) and keep their environment familiar. Includes updates, litter/yard cleanup, and extra cuddles to reduce stress while you’re away.
“What an amazing experience! My puppy was so happy and came home almost sad to leave! The daily updates and pictures put my mind to ease! Thank you, Diane for treating him like family!”
“Nicole went above and beyond to make sure my pup was comfortable and well adjusted to her home. She also went above and beyond with communicating with me! I’ll be booking again!”
“Jennifer was a pleasure to work with. She was always quick to respond and she sent lots of photos of our boy having fun with her pup. He came home exhausted, that's a good thing! We will certainly use Jennifer again! Thank you again Jennifer!”

“She was an awesome sitter . Never had an issue . Sent me photos and updates sometimes before I even messaged to check in on Lani. Lani seemed like she had a real good time. She even had Lani playing ball with her baby and having fun. Thank you Poulette , definetly will return when I need a sitter .”
“Kuro had a great time with Arwen and Mike! Their place is quaint and the property is amazing. They were very communicative with Kuro’s needs and we would highly recommend anyone who would need their dogs watched.”
“Olivia was super flexible and communicative. We needed to do a pretty early drop off and it was no issue. We got lots of great pictures throughout her stay. Our dog is coming home much happier than if she had stayed at a boarding place.”
