“She and her family were very kind. She took care of my dog and loved him as if he were her own. My dog also seemed very comfortable. She even surprised me with a thoughtful gift. Thank you for your kindness”
“Sandra is an excellent sitter! Our dog Chico was very happy to be with her! Definitely we will go back to her as needed and certainly highly recommend Sandra as a pet sitter!”
“He was ok. As a first time user i would have appreciated more pics/video updates. My leash was misplaced, although he offered to replace. I liked that he was patient w/ my puppy who was nervous to enter his home in the beginning.”
“Barbara did an amazing job taking care of our boy. She made sure he gets adjusted well. This was our first time with her. We now know where to keep him when we are away. There were regular pics being shared from her. We were at ease that he is in good hands. I definitely recommend her. Amenities at her place are amazing with a big yard for the pups to play and run around.”
“Claudia is a fantastic choice for your dog. Our dog,Esther, loved her visit and she got the best of care. Claudia set us updates and pictures. It was reassuring that Esther was in a very safe place. Claudia is a 5 star dog sitter.”
“Jen was amazing. She communicated throughout the booking with pictures and messages. It was obvious our pup was getting lots of love and attention during her stay. She came home happy and tired. We will be using Jen again!”
“Laura was a fantastic dog sitter! She was flexible with scheduling pick up/drop off, sent an update with a photo, and our pup seemed to have a great time with her. We will definitely use her services again!”
“We were extremely nervous with having our dog stay with strangers but meeting Jill and Thomas quickly changed our hesitation. As soon as you meet then you can tell they are dog lovers. We recieved photos all weekend and our dog was having a great time. We will definitely be returning as a client.”
“Lindsey took care of Sydney for a night. When I was there to drop off, the kids and the family welcomed Sydney and made her comfortable. Lindsey provided frequent updates which I greatly appreciate. Sydney had a great stay at Lindsey's.”
About: I've had dogs for over 25 years and most recently I'm caring for a dog with a seizure disorder. Everything from young energetic puppies to elderly dogs. I have worked with an organization called Missing Pet Partnership (an organization started by a police officer who trained scent detection dogs). I was trained to find lost pets and the psychology of dogs and cats including training in pet first aid and CPR. My previous career was as a special education teacher. I now work full-time from home. I would love to play with and care for your pup! No pet too big or small. I hope to hear from you, thanks. I am currently working full-time from home and I will have plenty of time to play with your for baby I'm available for boarding on weekdays, weekends, nights and even holidays. I work from home and have a very large fenced yard that is fully secure for the smallest dog and 5 and a 1/2 feet tall for larger dogs. My home is set back from the road on a quiet private street for your peace of mind. I have two small friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog if needed based on your preference and socialization with my dogs is entirely up to you. My home has separate areas to accommodate a variety of situations including multi pet homes that crate and rotate dogs, dogs with medical needs who need to be in separate areas, etc. For overnight stays I will tailor your dogs experience to ensure it is a home away from home.
“Couldn’t have had a better experience. Such a sweet, gracious lady. Sent pictures and communicated daily. Loved on my babies, not just “dogs sat.” Even allowed me to pick them up LATE as my flight was delayed! I have my new local “Rover-ine!””
“Elizabeth was great! She sent plenty of updates during our dog’s stay, which was greatly appreciated and followed all instructions when it came to him. She was also super sweet and her family was just as sweet, we felt very comfortable leaving Meechie with her.”
“I boarded my two dogs, Simba and Ghost, with Sunaina for five nights, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She took excellent care of them, followed all of my instructions to the letter, and kept me updated throughout their stay. It was clear that Simba and Ghost were comfortable and well looked after, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Sunaina to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive, and caring dog sitter!”
“Cocoa was in great hands with Susan. We were sent updates and pictures daily. It was clear that Cocoa was happy and comfortable in a new space. Susan figured out how sneaky Cocoa is and stayed one step ahead of her all week. Susan, thank you so much for taking excellent care of our girl!”
“Mark and Kayleigh were amazing, start to finish, while watching our sweet pup. They both clearly know and love dogs, their house and yard and wonderful and safe for pets. They were attentive to the dog, responsive to us while we were on our trip, and operate with respect and professionalism you’d hope for when letting someone watch over a part of your family. Can’t recommend them enough! Our Shiloh will absolutely be staying with them again on our next trip.”
About: I have had 3 dogs growing up so use to handling multiple at one time. Also my shih tzu that passed had severe skin allergies so I have experience with medical baths and diets. I work from home 3 days a week so home all day MWF, Tuesdays and Thursdays I am in the office but only a 10 min drive away and can walk them during lunch and be back home with your doggo before dinner! I live in a neighborhood with sidewalks and a park, personally have a well sized yard and back deck for lots of outdoor fun! Currently I own 2 guniea pigs but they’re quiet and kept on an elevated surface no dog has been bothered by them before. Lots of toys and 2 beds here to play with but encourage to bring your pet’s favorites here as well.
“The fact that Courtney is a vet was one of the reasons I reached out to see if she was able to watch Sunny for a weekend while I was out of town due to how anxious she can get. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. During the meet and greet, she asked about emergency vet info and offered her office as an option for urgent but non-emergency situations since I don’t have a primary emergency vet. She was aware of Sunny’s needs while she was there. Courtney also kept great communication and sent lots of videos and pics during her stay. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be booking services with her again when the time comes!”
“Awesome service! Above and beyond. My rescue is very skittish and warmed up immediately. Even got used to their dog. My other dog had the time of his life getting to play and go explore new areas on his walks. Made my vacation worry free. 10/10 will book again.”
“My Maltipoo stayed with Yvonne for 2 nights and was very well cared for. I'm sure she enjoyed the nice yard. Yvonne was very easy to coordinate with and sent lots of pictures and updates. Her dog was well mannered, and her house was well kept. We will definitely want to use her again.”

“Wow, she did a wonderful job. She kept in touch with me while I was on vacation. She sent me pictures every day. I can’t say nothing bad but you did a great job and I appreciate you being there. Thank you. Yes, I will rebook you again if I ever need you, thank you again for taking care of queen so well.”
“Ashley is awesome! She is extremely reliable and responsible. We can always count on her to take good care of our cat and continue to rebook her when she is available 😺”
“My kitties were well taken care of with Paige visiting. Additionally, she was very communicative, which is everything we were looking for in a sitter. Thank you so much!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! She was incredibly reliable, always on time, and kept me updated with lots of messages and wonderful pictures throughout the week, which gave me so much peace of mind. One of my cats is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day, while my other needs heart medication applied to the inside of her ear. She handled both with confidence and care and treated my cats like they were her own. I came home to two happy, healthy cats and would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!”
“As a pet owner, you simply want someone you can trust to give your pet the best care and create safety while you're away and we found that in Claudia! We needed a sitter to drop in on our cat Nala while we were away and Claudia was amazing from start to finish. She was on time and kept us informed throughout her time with Nala. Nala was so comfortable and happy with Claudia and we appreciated having someone we can trust! I highly recommend Claudia for any of your pet needs, we will definitely re-book her in the future. Thanks for everything!”
“Selena was amazing! She really took the extra time and effort to not only be the best sitter to our girl Olive but also to care for our home while cleaning up after our little one. She was so good with our pup and would choose her any day! Thanks Selena :)”
“Caitlin was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my two cats over the weekend. She sent wonderful photos and updates that my husband and I looked forward to viewing during our trip. Caitlin went above and beyond hand washing dishes which was greatly appreciated. I can’t wait to book her again for our next trip! If you need a cat sitter, hire Caitlin!”
“Susan was great with my cat, Gracie, while I was gone for a two week trip! She was wonderful with updates, always sending pictures and videos. Gracie can be picky when she wants attention and Susan was great with knowing when to give her space if she didn't want attention. Susan also went above and beyond by bringing in unexpected packages and cleaning up the house on her last day. I can't recommend Susan enough for taking care of your fur-kids”
About: I have pets of my own. I have owned cats, dogs and and small animals too. Currently I have one dog and his name is Max. There were plenty of times in my neighborhood that dogs will get out and I would take care of them until they are safe with their owner. I also have a years experience in dog walking I am a full time student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I am home most of the time but as for my schedule I have classes Monday/Wednesday/Friday from 11-2. Tuesday/Thursday 9:30-12:30. Currently I do not live with my dog so I can provide more one on one attention to the animal I am taking care of. My apartment is very spacious for the animal to play with toys, do tricks etc. Also I love to be out doors and go to Mack park. I have transportation so that shouldn’t be an issue.
About: What sets me apart is my commitment to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care for every pet. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies who need patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who require a gentler approach, slower walks, medication reminders, and extra attention to their comfort. I also prioritize clear communication by sending regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I am in school night time and am available during the day. I am free all day Saturday and Sunday's. I can come whenever you need me to. When caring for pets, I always follow the routine they’re most comfortable with. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, get plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. I also keep their living area clean, administer medications if needed and instructed, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed while their family is away. I respect my clients’ homes by keeping everything tidy, locking doors, and following any special instructions.

About: Need someone who can handle more than just a walk in the park? I was raised on a farm and have professional zoo experience. I have cared for many animals and can administer meds, handle large breeds and provide loving care. Currently a dog and turtle owner, I am a responsible professional looking to help you enjoy your travels worry-free. I am available anytime on weekends. During the week, I can provide care in the early mornings before 8:00 AM and in the evenings after 5:00 PM. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you are away. Drawing on my background in zoo and farm care, I am meticulous about following instruction whether that involves administering medication, adhering to strict feeding schedules, or managing specific turnout times. Because I work full-time, I structure my care around a schedule during the week: I provide quality care, exercise, and feeding before 8:00 AM and after 5:00 PM, while weekends are open for longer adventures and companionship. I treat your home with the same respect as your animals. I am experienced in maintaining a clean environment and can provide regular photo updates so you can enjoy your own adventures knowing your home and pets are secure.

“Sunaina was great with Loki! He had such a great time with her and her family. She sent us many pictures and updates periodically of him during his time with them. She listened to our instructions on his allergies and food timing, and took him out for walks. We were super happy that he was happy! Definitely will book again when we are back in the area!”
About: Dogs have always had a special place in my heart and require a lot of patience and attention. I have over five years of experience within dog sitting and in my care, they will be loved, respected, and given the enrichment they properly deserve! I'm currently working part-time with plenty of availability during the week! My flexibility allows me to properly care for all the needs of your pet!

“Susan is awesome! Mocha had a wonderful time. I really appreciated the updates throughout the day. Susan was very flexible which helped me tremendously. Mocha can’t wait until her next visit!!”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with Border Collies and have also adopted several dogs over the years, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy working breeds to laid-back companions. I've also volunteered at several shelters, giving me experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds. I work from home (as does my wife) so your pet will be getting consistent, attentive care. To be honest, our dog passed away last fall and we are missing the joy of being dog owners and having dogs around, but we need something a little more flexible for the time being. You are getting two sitters for the price of one and we will care for your dog as if they were our own :) As a former dog parent who has used Rover, my goal is to provide exactly what I was looking for each time I booked a walker/sitter: clear communication, limited hassle, and all of the assurances that you can rest easy and not worry...your doggo is in good hands! I work from home and call my own hours (as does my wife) so as long as we know your dog's routine we will make sure to incorporate it into our own. We have a fenced-in yard and a walking path near our home so walks are never a problem (we love walks). My wife and I both work from home so one of us will always be giving your dog attention/supervision. We have previously owned dogs who were flight risks so we have been conditioned to keep an eye out, keep doors closed, etc. We have a big fenced-in yard and have a little indoor gate/fence that we use in the house if need be to secure a hallway, etc.
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was young and have always loved caring for animals. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their furry family members over the years. Now that I have a mini Goldendoodle of my own, I’m always excited to welcome more pups to love and care for! My dog would love some new friends to play with, and your furry companion will always be safe, well cared for, and treated like family in our home. I’d also like to mention I have 2 cats and they are friendly and do their own thing. My schedule is flexible and I can work from home most of the time! That being said, your furry friend will get a lot of attention. I usually try and go for a walk in the morning and around lunch time. I have a yard; however, it is not fenced. I live toward the end of a quiet neighborhood and always keep a close eye on any dogs in my care. I spend a lot of time outside playing and going on walks, so your pup will get plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. My 3-year-old dog is friendly, playful, and also enjoys relaxing, so your furry friend will have a balanced and comfortable stay.

About: I’ve been enjoying helping my kids care for their dogs and cats creating a strong bond while having so much fun with their dogs and cats. I have a flexible schedule to care for pets while providing a safe environment to stay in and keep to their schedule like their own parents with me. I have a fenced yard under my supervision and have fun playing with my own pets! Any suggestions that your pet needs will be appreciated in order to create a bond and trust while you are not there will be perfect to make your pet’s and your day!
“Liza had a great time with Jen!! Jen is really caring and was really attentive to put Liza at ease, not always a simple task as Liza has separation anxiety. Jen was very responsive, took a bunch of pictures, and sent me lots of updates. I really appreciated it and highly recommend her!”
“Claudia is great with my little fur baby! She spends extra time with him and is very gentle with him. I can tell that he enjoys her company. I can tell that she is well educated when it comes to dealing with animals and has even taken the time to teach me some tricks and tips as I am a first time dog owner with crazy long hours at work. I will definitely be using her services frequently.”
“Courtney was great with our dog! We needed to find a sitter last minute and she was happy to help out. She was quick to respond to everything, provided updates throughout the day, and kept our dog in great care. Would highly recommend!”
About: I haven’t taken care of dogs professionally but I have always had a deep love for dogs. I have owned an American Bully and English Bulldog on my own and have had multiple family dogs growing up. Having my own dogs, I have gone through the process of training two different types of temperaments and am looking forward to engaging/learning about more! I currently work from home as an accountant M-F. I have the flexibility to leave and return as needed. I could take my laptop if I needed to be around for an extended amount of time. Otherwise, I have the ability to use my flexibility to be present. I have an open living room setup and an English bulldog of my own to keep them company as well. We go on multiple walks a day and I make sure to try and exert the energy of whatever dog I am with at the time (so they don’t have much time to miss their parents 😂). I have room to crate the dogs if needed and also a pet camera that helps with monitoring.
“Lauren is very flexible and understanding and really great with Chai! Great with updates and giving Chai lots of opportunities to potty and exercise. Chai also gets along great with Lauren’s own pups!”
“Mutig was so happy when we picked him up! I have been nervous about where to leave him during a vacation we have coming up, but I was put at ease after this stay. She sent so many happy pictures of Mutig and Quincy playing and sent me updates of how he was doing. Yvonne and her husband were very caring. She fed the dogs separately, took them out often, and showed a lot of care. We are so glad we found her to have piece of mind that we are leaving Mutig in good hands when we cant be there!”

“Nancy was fabulous with our dog! She was dependable and respectful. Our dog enjoyed her time with Nancy so much that she was upset when she left. I would gladly book her services again!”
“Destiny is seriously the best! If you want someone who can ancipate the needs/wants of your furry friend, then she's your walker/sitter. Thanks so much for your spectacular service to my dog these last few years, Destiny!”
About: I grew up with two funny little dogs, Kiwi (a Peekapoo) and Tegan (a Bichon Frisé), whom my mom and I trained from puppies. I’m now the proud cat mom to an orange tabby named Ari! I’m calm, patient, loving, and consistent with animals. I also have experience caring for a senior dog who required daily medication by injection, and I’m happy to provide that same gentle, attentive care for your pets if needed. Whether your pet loves to play, explore, or simply curl up for cuddles, I’m happy to follow their lead and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. :) I have a flexible schedule, so your pet will receive plenty of attention and companionship! I have a flexible schedule and am often available for same-day bookings! Starting in August every Thursday, I will nanny for a wonderful five-month-old baby while also caring for her family’s two dogs and two cats. Outside of Thursdays, my schedule is very open. Because of my flexibility, your pets can receive the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I keep my availability up to date, communicate promptly, and strive to make every booking reliable, stress-free, and personalized to your pet’s needs. Every pet is unique, so I always begin by following the owner’s instructions and learning their routine. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of potty breaks or a clean litter box, exercise and playtime, and lots of love and attention. I also pay close attention to their behavior to make sure they seem happy, comfortable, and healthy. If medications are needed, I’m happy to administer them as directed. Before I leave, I’ll make sure your pet is settled and I’ll send you an update with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Susan is amazing. She genuinely cares about her clients and their pets. She went out of her way to help my mother in law during off walk time, setting up a lead outside and showing her how to use it. We really appreciated her service during our temporary need for dog walks.”

About: I’m not able to have a dog of my own so it would be nice to have experience with different dogs throughout the week so I don’t feel like I’m missing out on spending time with pets. I’m a second grade teacher who is off for the summer and major holidays. I would like to have something else for me to do to keep busy during the long summer days. Being able to spend time with your pet would be an honor and I’m so excited to play with care for them in anyway you need me to. I’m also studying to be an elementary school teacher so if you ever need some babysitting I can do that as well. I work as an elementary teacher so I am available throughout the summer and major holidays. I can also make accommodations for Saturdays if needed. I am able to provide any care necessary if provided and shared by the owner. Just let me know everything you need to take proper care of your fur baby and I will make sure to deliver.
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life, big and small! I’ve bathed, feed, played with, and let dogs outside! Cuddles are a must! I attend Western Kentucky University but am home for the summer. I currently work part time at Brusters Ice Cream! My schedule changes weekly however I don’t work everyday meaning there is plenty of time for stopping by throughout the day! I will update clients on schedule changes to fit their needs and make sure all pets are taken care of properly. Most shifts are at night so I can stop by for feedings and bathroom breaks before work and after! Care begins with attention. Following clients instructions as every dogs and cats needs are different. Proper safety, comfort, and routine is important! Whether backyards aren’t fenced in or animals are fed at a specific time clients instructions are always important to follow!
About: 🛑 PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING🛑: I own 2 cats. Even though my Cats have their own room your dogs must be ok with or have been around cats and knows basic commands. If your dog is medium or large size you MUST bring a cage. I will only use the cage for when I'm at work and I need to let the cats out their room. But when i'm home the dogs have free range even on my bed 😂 Before 2021: I've been pet sitting/walking for friends/neighbors for 5 years & on certain occasions I've been a dog/cat boarder for them, but I've been a dog walker for 5.5 years. 2 of the recurring dogs that I pet sit has had health issues, so I'm able to follow strict instructions given by the owners to take care of their pets in the best way possible whether it's just for a walk or pet sitting. UPDATE JULY 2025: Sorry to any specific owners but unless you are one of the 4 clients I've had since age 20, I will NOT be pet sitting/dropping in on CERTAIN snakes and ALL spiders. My soul will leave my body. The only reason why that is, is because I have a good rapport with the 4 clients and known some of their snakes since they were either in an egg or as a baby so I know their temperament . I'm okay with other reptiles, certain snakes, & pet birds. Some examples are Bearded dragons, geckos, chameleons, Iguanas, African Egg-Eating Snake, Western Hognose, Children’s python, Kenyan sand and Rosy boa. DM for list since there's a caption limit. UPDATE JULY 2025: Depending on my boss I work from Mon-Wed 11pm-7/7:30am, Fri-Sun 6pm-2am, off days maybe Tuesday (after 7:30am), Thursday & sometimes Friday. I will communicate if I happen to work a double or if I'm late since I have to rely on other coworkers to relieve me from my shift. Due to work I will not be petting sitting pets that can't stay alone for more 4-6hrs anymore. But if you need drop-ins for your pets medicine time especially for some of my older clients on all the apps I've been on I remember I will gladly do that when I have time. This is mostly for the cats and small dogs I might be open for boarding. I do own two cats they are up to date with their shots. I know how they react to other cats since I had them for a year, but as for dogs I'm not too sure until I get my own dog. Also, for the most part my yard is fenced is just one side of the fence has not been fully fixed yet so when we are outside in the yard they will be on harnesses for the cats and dogs since I will be outside with them. I also have a an in ground pool that's covered. Also, there's a mix of stray and outdoor cats in my neighborhood and for some, they like to hang out in my front and backyard (they do get in from the broken side of the fence). Mainly for shelter underneath my porch since it's elevated and hides them from this ungodly heat. Plus it doesn't help that me, my dad and my neighbors, do occasionally feed them if we notice that they get too skinny and one of other neighbors bought one of those insulated and heated shelters for the cats to stay in during the winter last year. Fun fact that's how I ended up with my 2nd cat as pet.
About: My introduction to working with animals started when I became a sitter/walker in my free time during college. In addition to having my own pets- both cats and dogs, I have over four years of experience working with dogs as a groomer. It is safe to say I am an animal lover that treats any baby in my care like they’re my own. Whatever special care your fur baby may need, I am willing to provide! I am currently taking time off so I have open availability for drop-in visits and walks! I have availability for early morning walks/visits as well. It’s important to get to know your fur baby before coming into your home to build trust. Meet & Greets are an important part of getting to know your pet.
About: I have had 3 dogs growing up so use to handling multiple at one time. Also my shih tzu that passed had severe skin allergies so I have experience with medical baths and diets. I work from home 3 days a week so home all day MWF, Tuesdays and Thursdays I am in the office but only a 10 min drive away and can walk them during lunch and be back home with your doggo before dinner! I live in a neighborhood with sidewalks and a park, personally have a well sized yard and back deck for lots of outdoor fun! Currently I own 2 guniea pigs but they’re quiet and kept on an elevated surface no dog has been bothered by them before. Lots of toys and 2 beds here to play with but encourage to bring your pet’s favorites here as well.
“Veruchka has been fantastic with Holly! She was so pleasant and flexible when it came for the meet and greet and was readily available to come over to take care of our pup. She has been a joy and I love all the pictures she takes!”
About: I have pets of my own. I have owned cats, dogs and and small animals too. Currently I have one dog and his name is Max. There were plenty of times in my neighborhood that dogs will get out and I would take care of them until they are safe with their owner. I also have a years experience in dog walking I am a full time student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I am home most of the time but as for my schedule I have classes Monday/Wednesday/Friday from 11-2. Tuesday/Thursday 9:30-12:30. Currently I do not live with my dog so I can provide more one on one attention to the animal I am taking care of. My apartment is very spacious for the animal to play with toys, do tricks etc. Also I love to be out doors and go to Mack park. I have transportation so that shouldn’t be an issue.
About: Extremely flexible! I'm experienced in taking care of cats, dogs, turtles, bearded dragons, and fish. I would love to give your furbaby the best care possible! I am a recent graduate from the University of Delaware. My schedule is pretty flexible this summer, I am extremely communicative & love to care for pets. I live with 2 dogs & 2 cats. The cats & dogs are separated. I am very patient with animals! I am also extremely diligent with their care such as cleaning food/water bowls, scooping poop, changing pee pads, following feeding/medication schedule, and playing with animals.
About: I have the empathy and patience for even the shyest of animals. Respecting a pet’s boundaries is key to success. I love the satisfaction of gaining trust and building bonds! I’m a hybrid/remote employee with flexible work hours. In general, I have pretty open availability for providing the services you need for your furry friend(s)! In the past, I have owned cats and snakes. I kept them strictly indoors to ensure they were in a safe environment. In your home, I will follow all safety protocols to properly take care of your pet(s).

“Sandra is an excellent sitter! Our dog Chico was very happy to be with her! Definitely we will go back to her as needed and certainly highly recommend Sandra as a pet sitter!”
“He was ok. As a first time user i would have appreciated more pics/video updates. My leash was misplaced, although he offered to replace. I liked that he was patient w/ my puppy who was nervous to enter his home in the beginning.”
“Jen was amazing. She communicated throughout the booking with pictures and messages. It was obvious our pup was getting lots of love and attention during her stay. She came home happy and tired. We will be using Jen again!”
“Laura was a fantastic dog sitter! She was flexible with scheduling pick up/drop off, sent an update with a photo, and our pup seemed to have a great time with her. We will definitely use her services again!”
“We were extremely nervous with having our dog stay with strangers but meeting Jill and Thomas quickly changed our hesitation. As soon as you meet then you can tell they are dog lovers. We recieved photos all weekend and our dog was having a great time. We will definitely be returning as a client.”
About: I've had dogs for over 25 years and most recently I'm caring for a dog with a seizure disorder. Everything from young energetic puppies to elderly dogs. I have worked with an organization called Missing Pet Partnership (an organization started by a police officer who trained scent detection dogs). I was trained to find lost pets and the psychology of dogs and cats including training in pet first aid and CPR. My previous career was as a special education teacher. I now work full-time from home. I would love to play with and care for your pup! No pet too big or small. I hope to hear from you, thanks. I am currently working full-time from home and I will have plenty of time to play with your for baby I'm available for boarding on weekdays, weekends, nights and even holidays. I work from home and have a very large fenced yard that is fully secure for the smallest dog and 5 and a 1/2 feet tall for larger dogs. My home is set back from the road on a quiet private street for your peace of mind. I have two small friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog if needed based on your preference and socialization with my dogs is entirely up to you. My home has separate areas to accommodate a variety of situations including multi pet homes that crate and rotate dogs, dogs with medical needs who need to be in separate areas, etc. For overnight stays I will tailor your dogs experience to ensure it is a home away from home.
“Elizabeth was great! She sent plenty of updates during our dog’s stay, which was greatly appreciated and followed all instructions when it came to him. She was also super sweet and her family was just as sweet, we felt very comfortable leaving Meechie with her.”
“I boarded my two dogs, Simba and Ghost, with Sunaina for five nights, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She took excellent care of them, followed all of my instructions to the letter, and kept me updated throughout their stay. It was clear that Simba and Ghost were comfortable and well looked after, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Sunaina to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive, and caring dog sitter!”
“Cocoa was in great hands with Susan. We were sent updates and pictures daily. It was clear that Cocoa was happy and comfortable in a new space. Susan figured out how sneaky Cocoa is and stayed one step ahead of her all week. Susan, thank you so much for taking excellent care of our girl!”
“Mark and Kayleigh were amazing, start to finish, while watching our sweet pup. They both clearly know and love dogs, their house and yard and wonderful and safe for pets. They were attentive to the dog, responsive to us while we were on our trip, and operate with respect and professionalism you’d hope for when letting someone watch over a part of your family. Can’t recommend them enough! Our Shiloh will absolutely be staying with them again on our next trip.”

“The fact that Courtney is a vet was one of the reasons I reached out to see if she was able to watch Sunny for a weekend while I was out of town due to how anxious she can get. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. During the meet and greet, she asked about emergency vet info and offered her office as an option for urgent but non-emergency situations since I don’t have a primary emergency vet. She was aware of Sunny’s needs while she was there. Courtney also kept great communication and sent lots of videos and pics during her stay. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be booking services with her again when the time comes!”
“Awesome service! Above and beyond. My rescue is very skittish and warmed up immediately. Even got used to their dog. My other dog had the time of his life getting to play and go explore new areas on his walks. Made my vacation worry free. 10/10 will book again.”
“My Maltipoo stayed with Yvonne for 2 nights and was very well cared for. I'm sure she enjoyed the nice yard. Yvonne was very easy to coordinate with and sent lots of pictures and updates. Her dog was well mannered, and her house was well kept. We will definitely want to use her again.”
“Diane was great & I'd recommend her for your dog sitting needs. Cared for a senior dog with medication needs. Lots of walks! Kept us informed on how our dog was doing. A joy to talk to and was very friendly.”
“We had such a great experience boarding Moxie at Kelly’s house for 5 days! Before we left, she reassured us that she could confidently handle Moxie’s behavioral quirks (occasional possessive behaviors with other dogs). Moxie is an active dog and Kelly provided plenty of opportunity for outdoor time and play. She sent frequent updates and pictures and kept our pup safe during a tornado warning! We would definitely book again :)”
“Nala was able to visit Colleen before staying with her for the first time. I was able to talk with her as well which was perfect. Nala last stay went very well. Colleen took time to send multiple pictures and keep me up to date. Nala also has separation anxiety and Colleen was very attentive.”
“Totiyana is so patient and caring! Our Blu is a big ball of energy, especially around other dogs but she could handle him. Will definitely be using her services again! Thank you!”
