The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”

About: I have been working in the medical field for over 15 years so I am very experienced in caring for people and providing excellent customer service. I am excited about walking your pet or stopping by to see how they are doing because I am eager to spend more time with animals. I know what it means to consider pets family. I am honored to provide these services to you and your pet! I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pup. I will not be away from the house for more than 4 hours at a time, typically. I have a large backyard and always supervise dogs when they are out playing. Since I do not have a fence I would keep your dog on a leash and take them for walks for exercise or to a dog park if appropriate.

My kitty is treated well, given care, and all her needs are met. When glitches happen at the house due to unforeseen circumstances, Julia is able to manage and inform quickly and address issues without fail. Thanks for your hard work and effort to make sure my kitty does well when we are away.”

About: I’ve owned and cared for cats my entire life and truly appreciate their unique personalities, independence, and charm. I understand that every cat is different—some are playful and social, while others prefer space and a calm environment—and I’m very attentive to those individual needs. Whether your cat enjoys interaction or likes to keep to themselves, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and respected in their own space. I’m experienced with daily care routines like feeding, litter box maintenance, and playtime, and I always move at your cat’s pace to build trust. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both you and your cat while you’re away, treating them with the same care and attention I give my own.
“Erin was incredible with my cat Fig! I don’t think I could have found a better sitter for my spunky girl. I am so appreciative she took such good care of her! First time being away and I was at ease the whole time! Thanks again !!”

“Left my baby for a trial stay. While it was hard to leave him literally crying Katie was so great about assuring me things had calmed down a few minutes later and all was good. I appreciated that peace of mind. Katie was also great about super responsive and timely communication. We would definitely reach out again.”
“Cruz Maria was so great with my dogs and with me! She is an expert dog person who catered to my dogs physical & emotional needs. I was in town for my high school reunion. Instead of boarding them for the weekend, Cruz Maria was flexible so that I could have them be in "day care" in the afternoon and evening. I was able to go to so many events for my reunion and still have my dogs with me at night. Thank you Cruz Maria!! You are the best!”
“MJ was absolutely wonderful with my pup! She kept me updated and sent the cutest pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. My pup was so excited to see her again the very next day, she truly couldn’t wait to go back! I highly recommend MJ to anyone looking for loving and reliable care.”

They kept us updated throughout the day and sent plenty of photos showing him playing, eating, and relaxing. It was such a blessing to have peace of mind knowing he was being taken care of and enjoying himself at that. We highly recommend and will definitely rebook in the future!”

“Karina was WONDERFUL! Our dog hasn’t been boarded a lot in her life, and has been nervous when she has, but she was comfortable as soon as we walked into the yard and so calm and happy when we picked her up! Karina was so communicative before and during her stay, and I appreciate how through she was with what to bring and making sure all the dogs in her care are up to date on vaccinations.

Janelle service is awesome and is the only person that I trust John with. Janelle is the best!”

About: I’m a responsible, caring and loving dog lover. Your pet will feel safe and will be happy in my home with a fenced in yard.

I have a one year old friendly, professionally trained soft wheaten who loves company to play with. We have balls, chew toys and treats. I go on long walks with them every day. It’s a pleasure having another playmate.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, and for the last 6.5 years, I’ve had the pleasure of raising my own fur child, Melli Rose. She’s a black lab (my favorite breed) and is the chillest girl to ever exist. She’s great with other animals. I recently got engaged and am looking to make a bit of money on the side to help pay for the wedding along with getting to meet new pets! I work on a hybrid schedule—3 days remote, 2 days in the office. When I’m remote, I take my dog on multiple walks a day and would love to have yours join! I firmly believe pets are royalty and deserve to be treated as such. Nothing I do could ever repay them for their unwavering loyalty and unconditional love, but I’ll spend the rest of my repaying them with my love and affection.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life and understand that every dog has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. As a current dog owner to my energetic 1½-year-old dog, I have hands-on experience with daily walks, exercise, training reinforcement, feeding schedules, and providing lots of love and attention. Growing up with dogs taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets can thrive. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. In addition to my experience with dogs, I have spent years caring for animals through my equestrian background, which has helped me develop strong animal-handling skills, attention to detail, and a calm, responsible approach to animal care.

I always make safety and comfort my top priority when caring for pets. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and routine so they feel relaxed and secure while I’m with them. I’ve grown up around animals and currently work around horses, so I’m very used to reading animal behavior and staying calm and responsible in different situations. I bring that same mindset to every dog I care for.
About: I have over 20 years of experience watching and carings for dogs. I grew up with dogs, and absolutely love them!

I am also available on weekends to care for your pup! My husband and I have two friendly pups to keep your dog(s) company whenever he or she visits. And in addition to our large backyard where the pups love to play, we also have plenty of safe roads and trails nearby to walk your dog for exercise and potty breaks.
“Priscilla saved the day accepting my request at very short notice. I had a 12 hour shift to work and no coverage for Louis. Additionally, I realized at the end of that 12 hour shift that I had no coverage for the next two days due (in no small part to a massive house move that had just occurred). Again, Priscilla came to the rescue and helped me for the next two days. She is a great communicator and a clearly dedicated professional.”
