“Grant was very easy to communicate with and he sent pictures while we were away. It was the first time we boarded our dog so we were a little nervous, but she had a great time, and it was very easy to trust that Grant would take excellent care of her. His property is also ideal for dogs to explore, have fun, and exercise! Booking her next stay now!”
“Diama and Cody have a wonderful yard and home and were very welcoming to my 11-year old dog. I felt totally comfortable leaving her with them, and I know she was well taken care of!”
“Love having Lynn doggie sit. This go round I have a puppy and he came back to me a better well behaved dog. Highly recommend Lynn. She loooooves your doggie like her own. And she sends you regular updates and pictures during the stay.”
“It was our first time utilizing anyone to board our dog. we were pretty nervous but the very first day our dog was with her, she sent photos! I was not able to drop her off so I didn't get to go over the details but I wanted to and did not realize that my boyfriend had left several things out. That being said after multiple text messages she totally got a feeling for our dog and took it from there. While we were gone I received videos and photos and updates. When he picked her up he said he could tell she had a lot of fun. I was very impressed and would definitely recommend and re-book her for anytime we need someone to watch our dog. When we adopted her she was very skittish and Kelsey made her feel at ease and myself as well! Thank you so much!!!”
“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.”
“Our girl Amber is a little shy, and she had recently lost her brother, so she was a little hesitant to socialize at first. Aron did a fantastic job of making her feel comfortable so she could slowly integrate into the pack.”
“Fantastic. Excellent. Wonderful! I'm still in awe of the dog sitting experience we just had with Linda and Dan. They are so very caring, kind and warm, and they cared for my pup like he was a member of their own family. Their expansive grounds are absolutely stunning and the winding paths which lead down to the pond made me feel like I was away at camp. I was ready to board myself there! ? Linda was so good in keeping me updated with photos of my pup playing and running around. He always looked like he was having a good time and it didn't surprise me when I went to pick him up and he actually didn't want to leave. Thank you, Linda and Dan, for taking such great care of my fur baby. We look forward to seeing you again hopefully one day.”
“Nicole and Jarrod were very communicative and our pup seemed to really enjoy his stay. He is a nervous dog, but he was calm and happy when we picked him up. That tells us a lot about how well he was cared for. Will definitely book with them again!”
“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.”
“Julie was easy to communicate with & answered some last minute questions I had the day of his first stay. Drop off/pick up scheduling was easy & our dog loved his stay! Will definitely recommend for all future pet sitting needs!”
“Amazingly kind people with a great setup for taking care of dogs. I was very impressed with everything and loved the photos I received while I was traveling. Highly recommend.”
“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. 🐾”
“Alesya was wonderful! She sent us numerous pictures and communicated daily on Mia’s progress while she was staying with Alesya and her family. It’s obvious that Alesya cares deeply about the dogs that she watches.”
“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!”
“Nicole was awesome and Bailey had a fantastic time. She treated Bailey like she was her own dog and I couldn’t ask for more sent many pictures and updates and just love the fact that I have somebody that I can go to if I have to go out of town I highly recommend her.”
“Very nice experience for us. This was the first time I’ve had to board my dog and I was worried about her reaction to being alone. Samantha kindly reassured me that she would be okay. There is a large fenced area for off leash play time. Blondie was taken on long walks and was bedded down in a stall in a former stable. She had a cozy bed and a heater. When we picked her up she looked happy and comfortable. We are very satisfied with Samantha’s kind care of Blondie.”
“Thank you to Tara. Our dog Murphy was well taken care of during his time at Tara’s house. He was treated like a member of her family. We would definitely use Tara’s services again if we need to leave Murphy behind when we go away on a trip.”
“Haley is amazing. I’ve received lots of updates and pictures from her. She was very accommodating on my late pick up. Smokey even got a toy from her! I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. I’m willing to drive more than an hour as long as I know Smokey is going to be well cared for.”

“Excellent pet sitter. Really good at her job and really good with animals. Very meticulous and lots of pictures of your pet with updates while you're gone. Will definitely use again.”
About: I've had cats since I was 5. My grandparents also has a farm so I have lots of experience with farm cats and feral cats. I've also worked for 10+ years with a local rescue, raising kittens only days or weeks old until they are old enough to be fixed and adopted - feeding them milk on a regular schedule and then weaning them onto wet food, then dry food, also teaching them how to be a cat by interacting with my cats. During the course of my volunteering I have also been taught various first aid treatments as well as how to administer medications and injections.
“I’ve booked with her three times now. This time - for drop-ins with my cat, and she has been consistently great. She always makes sure his litter box is clean, his food and water are full, and she takes the time to play with him, which I really appreciate. It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands while I’m away. She does a wonderful job, and I’ll definitely keep booking with her!”
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.
“Alexis is literally THE best. She’s great at communication and made sure to send picture updates and visit updates twice a day, since that’s how often she visited our pups. Our dogs love her so much! And so do we!!!”
“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 ❤️🙏”
“We've used Kay several times now as a cat-sitter, and each time our cat is happy and healthy when we return, we get plenty of thorough updates, and our house is just as we left it. Thanks, Kay!”
“Jillian is so thoughtful and kind! I knew my little catdude was well taken care of and comfortable. She sent lots of vids and updates throughout and made sure he was well fed and had lots of treats. 10/10 experience!”
About: I’ve taken care and been around cats since I was little. I’m extremely in tune with their quirks and reading what they’re okay and not okay with. I’ve had 3 of my own cats, male and female. I know how to give oral medications and injections.
About: I never had cats growing up, so my first real experience with them was as an adult working at the Humane Society- I loved them immediately! Now I'm around cats all the time- the photo is of her highness Princess Meow Meow... but honestly, I don't know if she is my owner or the other way around? I'm also the bonus mom to a cat named Yojimbo, who is a hilarious furball of chaos. I worked with them at the shelter, as well as two different veterinary offices. I am comfortable cleaning litter boxes, clipping kitty nails, with restraint, and basic first aid. Cats are hilarious , and very much their own creatures... I like to take the time to build trust with them by going slow, letting them adjust to my scent, and my ability to submit to their leadership (of course).
About: You can trust me with your babies! With over 6 years experience I’ve raised and cared for a variety of doggies and cats. Ranging from tea cup pups to a great pyrenees!

We enjoy playing outside, taking walks, and cuddling on the couch.

Your fur baby will be able to enjoy their stay here as much as we enjoy them visiting. We offer a comfortable home like environment, unlimited bathroom breaks, walks if permitted, and low or high energy engagement based on preference of fur baby. I allow pets on furniture and free roaming throughout my home. *If you’d prefer kenneling and restriction to furniture please let me know* PLEASE NOTE: A KENNEL/CRATE IS REQUIRED FOR BOARDING TO ENSURE PETS ARE SAFE WHEN THERE IS NO DIRECT SUPERVISION. EX: NAP TIME, BED TIME, TRIPS TO STORE etc ***MUST GET ALONG WITH OTHER PETS BIG AND SMALL*** **** MUST NOT HAVE A HISTORY OF BITING, MARKING IN DOORS, & ANXIETY DEFECATION****
“Irene was a great kitty sitter! Harald was well taken care of (despite telling us he was starving to death, but he tends to be dramatic) and there were zero issues. Being able to ask her last minute for a holiday sitting job was great, too. We totally recommend her. :)”
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 👀

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.
“Olivia was great! I highly recommend her! We had a funeral to attend in the Yuba City area and our dog sitter wasn't available..Olivia agreed to watch Bandit with 1 days notice. She sent pictures & gave us updates throughout the afternoon. You could tell she loves dogs! We will definitely use her services again if we ever have a need again for a sitter in that area of California!”
“I was very hesitant in leaving my pup due to me never wanting to leave him with anyone , but today I had to leave town for the day.. I felt comfortable leaving macho with her. She sent me pictures and we talked through out the day! My pup never potty outside before , and today he did!! He must of had fun because he’s been sleeping since I got him back lol.”
“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”
About: My family has always had 1-2 dogs, and I have been watching other people's dogs for 6 years. My family once had 4 cats and farm animals, so l am also experienced with other animals. I love going on hikes and walks. My clients are always happy with my caretaking, often asking me to watch their animals again. I am able to watch your pet (s) at animals again. I am able to watch your pet (s) at you house, as long as it is clean, but l am also able to watch your pets) at my house, as long as they get along with my families' dog. :) I have watched many types and breeds of dogs (doodle mix, Chihuahua mix, Australian cattle dog, etc) I am currently unemployed, so I have lots of time to give your dogs attention, hikes, or whatever they need. I will only not be available June 8-19, and after mid August my availability will change. I have a fenced yard, and one friendly, smallish dog. I live on a ranch, so beyond the dance there is plenty of space for the dog to run around if they are okay off leash. I also have one cat, so it is preferable that your pet is cat friendly, but if not I may be also to make it work.
About: I grew up with a family of people and pets. I have always loved animals and always will. Often times my parents would leave the house for a get away. I am an only child so it would always be up to me to watch what was a big part of my life 2 cats and 2 dogs. It was something that was so natural to me being I grew up doing and my parents always trusted me with the duty. As of the moment I live alone with no pets and being lonely, would love to spend some quality time with a furry companion being I'm not allowed to own a pet in the apartment where I live. I have experience with both dogs and cats, small dogs, big dogs or any cat. Thanks.
About: We are a loving family with two young girls and a dog. We enjoy being outdoors and spend much of our time in the garden. Our property features a pond for dog-paddling, a lawn for ball throwing, and many trails for exploring. I am a stay at home mom so I’m able to give around the clock care. We usually go for a walk through the orchards after breakfast and spend most of our day outside, watering the gardens and doing work around the property. We also enjoy an evening stroll before bed. We live on 10 acres and have a perimeter fence as well as a fenced backyard for free play. We have a private, secure dog run if your pup is more comfortable in their own space as well. We are usually up between 6-7, we can feed breakfast then or after our morning walk around the property to feed the farm animals. We do a lot of outdoor play and work in the garden that our boarding dogs usually love. I am a stay at home mom and Michael works from home so your dog gets constant companionship. We have a fenced yard that attaches to our house and a doggie door so your dog can go in and out as it pleases. This area is the main place your dog will stay when we are not romping around the farm.
“Absolutely amazing! Dan always goes above and beyond to take great care of Kamora. He’s reliable, caring, and communicative. He always makes sure she feels comfortable and well cared for. I’m so grateful!”
“Great communication, including with a last minute booking. Daman is very friendly and clearly a dog lover. I felt at ease leaving our little guy with her for the day. Sure sent pics throughout and made pickup/drop off a breeze. Looking forward to working with her again!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them like they’re my own. Over the years, I’ve been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors to look after their pets, and I take that responsibility to heart. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including raising a German Shepherd who completed professional training, as well as helping with puppy training and basic obedience. At home, I have two cats, so I’m very comfortable with both dogs and cats and understand the different kinds of care and attention they need. My focus is always on making pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. For boarding, my husband and I create a warm, pet-loving home where animals are treated like family. We both have grown up around pets and genuinely enjoy their company. Your pet will be cared for with kindness, patience, and plenty of attention while they stay with us. When your pet stays with me, you can expect: 🐾 Reliable, attentive care 🐾 Regular photo and video updates 🐾 Plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection 🐾 Respect for your pet's routine and special needs 🐾 A safe, loving environment where they're treated like family Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship they need throughout the day. Since I already care for my own cats, I'm accustomed to maintaining feeding schedules, providing enrichment, monitoring behavior, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether it's walks, potty breaks, play sessions, cuddles, or simply keeping a pet company, I make time to give each animal personalized care based on their needs and routine. My husband and I work together to create a calm, loving environment for pets staying in our home, ensuring they receive plenty of supervision, affection, and attention while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always strive to keep them comfortable, safe, and happy. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection. I follow each owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication needs, exercise routines, and any special preferences to help pets feel at home. For pets staying with me, I make sure they have regular opportunities for exercise, mental stimulation, rest, and lots of love. My husband and I are both animal lovers and work together to provide a welcoming environment where pets receive plenty of supervision and companionship. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication administration if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they're away. My goal is always to reduce stress, keep pets comfortable, and give owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are receiving reliable, loving care.
“Wes did such an amazing job taking care of my boy today. Wes kept me up to date throughout the day and kept Cade entertained and happy all day. I would highly Wes to anyone looking for pet care services. Thank you again Wes!”
“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!”
About: I have a home full of love to give along with a big back yard for play! Plenty of grass as well as dirt areas for those who like to dig. My senior dog, Charlie, a female terrier mix is friendly and inviting, just as we like to be! I am a stay at home mom so your fur babies will never be alone! Just like my own kids, I understand routine is very important and promise to care for your pets as you would in your own home. There is nothing I wouldn't do to make your fur baby feel safe and secure, as I would accept nothing but the same for my own! About this sitter: A caregiver by nature, I have always had a lot of love to give! Grew up on a farm and can honestly say I have no memories of life without some kind of fur baby in my life. Now that I am creating a home for my own children, I want them to grow in the same atmosphere. Our home will always be open to help and care for anyone and anything in need! I have a pet friendly home with a large backyard to play. My senior dog is friendly and welcoming along with 3 cats who love to do their own thing (all are fixed and well behaved). From snuggling on the couch to crate training, depending on your preference, my home has it all. Not to mention a family of animal lovers to make sure your fur baby gets all the love they could ever want!
“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.”

About: I have had pets my whole life. I have experience with dogs from English mastiffs, to chihuahuas. I love cats, lizards, birds, literally all animals. I work/live on Beale AFB. I am very flexible. If you live on base I can go to your home on my lunch for a quick visit. Like I said I am an animal lover. I came on here after seeing how hard of a time some of our military members were having finding someone to take care of their furry friends. There are so many stressors associated within life that finding someone to genuinely care for your furry family members while away on vacation, TDY, visiting family- that should not have to be one.
“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: 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: I have been an animal lover my entire life. I am 52 years old and began walking my neighbors' dogs and housesitting for friends.

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!

About: I grew up here in Northern California with many different loyal pet dogs. After high school I joined the Army and got out of active duty in 2017. Long story short I moved to Alaska with my pet dog from Yuba City where I learned to be a dog musher and she learned to be sled dog. I’ve worked for various different high level sled dog kennels, thousands of different dogs, thousands of hours with dogs, thousands of miles with dogs, and even spent a year working at an Athletic & Longevity Canine Research Facility under the mentorship of some of best veterinarians and scientists. My knowledge and experience in general canine medical care, psychology, and training is advanced. I currently work from home & have a flexible schedule. I open to the special needs & care of your beloved pet from all ages. Each pet is individually unique when it comes to specific pet care, so I will work diligently with owners to best understand their pet. I have 1 spayed female 8 y/o Shepherd/Husky mix who is well tempered, a lead sled dog, well socialized to keep your pet company(friendly with both dogs & cats). I have a dog door that leads to a fenced in backyard. Regularly scheduled feeding, walks, & bathroom breaks.
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 the luxury of boarding dogs at my longterm housesit in Grass Valley during the summers. 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: I have had a variety of animals always in my life. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish and rodents. (All of which I've had at some point) I have also worked for a rescue charity for 7+ years which resulted in having learned basic and emergency care, as well as administration of medication. I am retired and looking to fill my time with love and cuddles. I have always enjoyed caring for the variety of animals I have and have had. I love learning all the cute special quirks and loves of every animal I interact with. I am very respectful of other people's space and items - my focus is on the animals in my charge. I can feed, walk, play and generally be a companion to any animal. I also respect the home and treat it even better than my own, ensuring that I leave the home as I found it.
About: My name is Secret. I am 31 and was a vet assistant for 5 years before medical issues forced me to stop working in vet offices. I've had animals my whole life, with and without medical issues so I'm skilled at giving medicine and injections. I currently have 2 german shepherd mixes that love making new friends. One is very energetic and pmayful and does best with dogs who love to play. In my free time I love to walk the dogs on pur 10 acre property or down to the creek we have, read, write, go to the ocean, and camp. And of course anything involving animals! Please feel free to message me if you need assistance! I work with any budget, so don't let the numbers intimidate you. All animals deserve the right care while you are away. I pet sit full time, so I am available full time for your pets! I can work with any household, and stay as much as possible with your pets! We have a fenced yard, and dogs to keep your fur baby company! I have full time care at our house for our dogs, so I am available full time for your babies whether I'm at your house or mine!

About: Welcome! The headline is true- I am mostly just a strange creature pretending to be human, which I've found animals tend to appreciate. A bit about me as a human working with animals: In the past, I have worked at the Humane Society in Nevada and have worked at two different veterinary offices. I am trained in animal restraint, medication administration, basic first aid skills, and have recently begun working on CPR training. I am equipped to handle all ages and all manners, though I'll admit that I do have a soft spot for senior dogs (I'm a big softie for all animals, so take that as you will). I have dog sat and walked countless times independently for years. I currently have a 15lb mixed-breed dog named Timber, who doesn't need to join on my adventures if you or your pet aren't comfortable with it. I'm currently not equipped to care for your critter in my home, but hopefully that will change in the near future! Please consider me when looking for someone to take care of your four-legged children (well ... however many legs your pets have, I won't judge). I will soon have a lot of availability on weekdays between 9am - 4pm, but am absolutely open to discuss different times you may need. I'm flexible and adaptable and happy to work with you to fit you & your pet's needs. Since it would be at your place, I'm happy to learn your routine to keep your fur-baby comfortable. Walks, adventures, crating, playing in your fenced yard... Whatever your preference. I don't judge- what works for you all works for me!
About: Not only do I have 2 fur babies over 75 lbs making me experienced but I also have done a lot of training with them both. King had extremely bad separation anxiety and after months of training he’s become a lot more independent and calm making us both much more happy. If you’d like me to do some basic training with your pup while you are away on vacation, I can definitely do so. No worries if not, I’ll give your fur baby lots of love and play time! I know how hard it can be to go on vacation away from your babies but I will be making this time for your pup so much fun with walks, play time, and love! I also have cared for chickens, ducks, reptiles, and would be open to learning how to care for more of your farm animals! i am available mostly every day, reach out and I can let you know if it doesn’t work for me but it most likely will! I can crate train if you have a crate in your home (I cannot provide). I can also do basic training (sit, lay down, stay, etc..) if you would like, you must provide treats as I know many have food allergies.

“Grant was very easy to communicate with and he sent pictures while we were away. It was the first time we boarded our dog so we were a little nervous, but she had a great time, and it was very easy to trust that Grant would take excellent care of her. His property is also ideal for dogs to explore, have fun, and exercise! Booking her next stay now!”
“Diama and Cody have a wonderful yard and home and were very welcoming to my 11-year old dog. I felt totally comfortable leaving her with them, and I know she was well taken care of!”
“It was our first time utilizing anyone to board our dog. we were pretty nervous but the very first day our dog was with her, she sent photos! I was not able to drop her off so I didn't get to go over the details but I wanted to and did not realize that my boyfriend had left several things out. That being said after multiple text messages she totally got a feeling for our dog and took it from there. While we were gone I received videos and photos and updates. When he picked her up he said he could tell she had a lot of fun. I was very impressed and would definitely recommend and re-book her for anytime we need someone to watch our dog. When we adopted her she was very skittish and Kelsey made her feel at ease and myself as well! Thank you so much!!!”
“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.”
“Our girl Amber is a little shy, and she had recently lost her brother, so she was a little hesitant to socialize at first. Aron did a fantastic job of making her feel comfortable so she could slowly integrate into the pack.”
“Fantastic. Excellent. Wonderful! I'm still in awe of the dog sitting experience we just had with Linda and Dan. They are so very caring, kind and warm, and they cared for my pup like he was a member of their own family. Their expansive grounds are absolutely stunning and the winding paths which lead down to the pond made me feel like I was away at camp. I was ready to board myself there! ? Linda was so good in keeping me updated with photos of my pup playing and running around. He always looked like he was having a good time and it didn't surprise me when I went to pick him up and he actually didn't want to leave. Thank you, Linda and Dan, for taking such great care of my fur baby. We look forward to seeing you again hopefully one day.”
“Nicole and Jarrod were very communicative and our pup seemed to really enjoy his stay. He is a nervous dog, but he was calm and happy when we picked him up. That tells us a lot about how well he was cared for. Will definitely book with them again!”
“Julie was easy to communicate with & answered some last minute questions I had the day of his first stay. Drop off/pick up scheduling was easy & our dog loved his stay! Will definitely recommend for all future pet sitting needs!”
“Amazingly kind people with a great setup for taking care of dogs. I was very impressed with everything and loved the photos I received while I was traveling. Highly recommend.”
“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. 🐾”
“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!”
“Nicole was awesome and Bailey had a fantastic time. She treated Bailey like she was her own dog and I couldn’t ask for more sent many pictures and updates and just love the fact that I have somebody that I can go to if I have to go out of town I highly recommend her.”
“Very nice experience for us. This was the first time I’ve had to board my dog and I was worried about her reaction to being alone. Samantha kindly reassured me that she would be okay. There is a large fenced area for off leash play time. Blondie was taken on long walks and was bedded down in a stall in a former stable. She had a cozy bed and a heater. When we picked her up she looked happy and comfortable. We are very satisfied with Samantha’s kind care of Blondie.”
“Delila did a great job watching our dog! She allowed us to come over to see their place and meet them before we made a decision. While we were gone, she stayed in contact with us and sent pictures. Our dog seemed very happy and comfortable at their home. We will definitely be using her again in the future! Highly recommend using Delila to watch your pups.”
“Jessica and Timare trully amazing. They were so accomodating to us during our wedding week and took care of our fur baby as if it was theirs. They are wonderful people and so sweet to our dog. We cN’t wait to come down to Sarasota and see them again. Don’t hesit”
“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!”
“My dog was well taken care of. She is shy but Sandra successfully pulled her out and made her comfortable. Lots of pics, lots of walks, and lots of cuddles. We’ll definitely use her again!”
