“Barbara is so great with animals and does a great job making them feel at home. Our dog had a great time and enjoyed her visit with the family. I loved all the photos to see how our dog was doing throughout the day. Wonderful job!”
“Candice is an awesome person! She gave my fur buddy so much attention and care that I was concerned that he might have wanted to stay with her instead of coming home with us. She continuously sent us updates and photos. We could see he was enjoying his stay with her. Seeing how happy he looked made our vacation more enjoyable not having to worry about how he was doing. Thank you so very much Candice. Looking forward to our next trip and Kekoa’s next stay. Be sure to book early so she has room for your pet!!!”
“My dog had such a good time with Jill & Thomas that he almost did not want to come home. Translation, he was very comfortable, felt safe and enjoyed the home's human and dog interactions. Great experience for us all!”
“Brittany’s home is an oasis for dogs. Our girls loved chilling out in their big fenced in yard which they could sunbath or hide out under the shade trees especially the beautifully willow. Brittany is very responsive and without a doubt a true dog and animal lover. Trust that this would be a great place for your furry friends.”

“Rackeem came in clutch when we needed a last-minute sitter for our little girl Piper over the Thanksgiving holiday! He took great care of her at his home, sent plenty of photos and updates daily, and was super flexible when it came to drop-off and pickup days and times. 10/10 would absolutely leave our little girl with him again!”
“Everything went well with my dog's overnight stay. She got her walks and Sandra communicated with me throughout her stay with photos. Much appreciated Sandra! Hope to use your services again. Lisa H.”
About: My name is Taryn and I have lived with animals all my life. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, horses, fish, chickens, and small snakes. I have two young adult daughters that live at home and share the same passion as I do. I do have a 7yr old mix of my own that enjoys playing with others. If your dog happens to not be dog friendly, no worries; I provide in home dog care, drop in visits and dog walks! My home is clean, quiet, and pet proof. I have a large back yard with plenty of room for your best friend to run and play. We even have trails nearby where we can go on fun adventures! Pets will have free roam of the house so they don’t feel left out, after all they are apart of the family. Your pet(s) will never be alone or feel scared with me as their sitter. I work full time during the week. But I’m available weeknights for drop-ins, walks, and daycare. I’m available Fri-Sunday for the above as well as in home and in my home boarding. I have a large yard and a friendly dog for your pup to play with. If needed, I also have a crate. I don’t like crating my dog so prefer not to crate yours unless instructed by you for specific reasons. Of course they’ll be let out often to use the bathroom and have unlimited access to water. In your home, your pet will be let out when needed/scheduled if they have one, played with, and loved on. No matter where we are, my goal is to make your pet feel safe.
“This was my first time boarding my 6-month puppy, but Claudia eased all my worries. I got tons of pictures and updates that gave me peace of mind. I could tell Stella had a great time. If you’re unsure about boarding your pet for the first time, you can trust Claudia!”
“Nikkita was excellent. She responds to texts quickly and kept me updated on possible problems. She sent me frequent photos as well. Winston seemed to like her and her family! Would definitely recommend.”
“Sadie had such a great time staying with Laura. She is very skeptical about new environments; however, she was very comfortable and showed no signs of stress. I will be asking Laura to watch Sadie again in the future.”
“Lindsey did a fantastic job caring for our 6 month old pup. She communicated a minimum of 2x per day and always provided pictures with each communication. We will definitely be using Lindsey again in the future.”

“Mike did a great job for us. We were away for an extended vacation. He kept us well informed about our cats but also things at our home. A neighbor left mail on our porch and an outdoor ornament blew off our house. He notified us on both issues. The ornaments were brought in and he checked our community mailbox to confirm our mail was being held by USPS. During our vacation we received a boil water notice; We informed Mike and he brought bottled water for our pets. It’s the second time we used him and I’m sure we will be using his services again.”
“Breanna was amazing with our little boy. He takes a while to warm up to people, but she made him feel so comfortable. She also gave in-depth updates and took care of all of his needs while we were gone. Thank you Breanna!”
“Tracie took care of our two elderly cats while we were away for the week. She went above and beyond to set our minds at ease...meeting them ahead of time, taking copious notes, and sending us photos/updates. I knew they were in good hands which freed us up to truly relax while away. Tracie even offered to take in our mail and water the plants. A professional through and through. I would not hesitate to book with her again. Thank you Tracie!!”

Whether your cat wants playtime, quiet companionship, or just someone to keep their litter box fresh and food bowl full, I’ve got you covered!

I’m very happy with the care my pets received with Delany and would love to have her care for my kitties the next time I travel.”

About: I own It takes a village animal rescue, though I am taking a 2 year break, I have had 451 dogs come through my rescue in the last 10 years. I can help with house training, and basic puppy skills. I have probably had about 100 plus puppies in the last 10 years. I have a facebook account for the rescue and you can see all that My Volunteers and I have done over the years. Dogs must be neutered or spayed. Pet care has been a way of life for me for the last 13 years, I own an animal rescue but am taking a 2 year hiatus, but miss having dogs around all day. I am home 90% of the time, so I am there to let dogs out who might not be potty trained or sometimes we just lay on the couch watching TV and getting rubbed. I have a fenced in yard with lots of room to roam. I also have Mr Donovan, 110 pound hound mix that lost his 2 playmates in the last 2 months, so he would love having another friend to hang/ play with.

We just ask that your pup is friendly with kids and dogs, and is comfortable being crated for short periods of time, if needed.

About: Dog owners and their dogs will love many things about the care that I provide. First, I have always shown love and care to every dog that I have met and all these dogs have responded in a positive manner. Second, I believe in a healthy lifestyle for my dogs (as well as myself, haha) and take my dogs for walks everyday, and feeding them their recommended portion of dog food with minimal people food.

About: I have 6 years of experience taking care of 4 cats and my dog!! I can feed, give water, take walks, scoop boxes, and entertain with toys. I am also excellent with anxious pets and those who need a little extra care and love. I have a gentle voice and will always try to be aware of your pets' comfort level before approaching. I am currently in college, so I go to class various times during the week! Because of this, I may need to adjust arrival times depending on my class schedule and what days you need me for. This also means that I am good for vacations and other short-term jobs. I will work hard to provide a safe environment for all animals in accordance with guidelines set by my clients. For dogs, I prefer a fenced in yard, but will consider leashed walks depending on the size of your dog.

About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals, including dogs, cats, and horses, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs, behaviors, and personalities. Growing up with pets taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and attentive care, whether that meant daily feeding routines, grooming, exercise, or recognizing subtle signs that an animal might be stressed or unwell. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, temperaments, and activity levels, and I approach every animal with kindness, reliability, and respect. My lifelong hands-on experience allows me to provide safe, loving, and attentive care, so pet parents can feel confident their pets are in capable and compassionate hands. I am currently in nursing school and work part time at two different jobs. Some weeks my school schedule changes so I might have more flexibility! I have a fenced in yard that I use for my dog. I am also able to crate animals as needed and will supervise all interactions.
About: About Me: I am a teacher, pet mom (to both dogs & cats!), and lover of all animals. I lead my life with empathy, which makes me an extremely patient and effective pet care provider. It is my mission to treat your babies with the same amount of love, respect, and compassion that I would hope somebody would give to my own. I believe that behavior management, if necessary, should always be rooted in consistency and positive redirections. My Experience: Beyond being a cat and dog mom, I have years of experience with long term cat and dog sitting. I am experienced and comfortable with any age of pet, from puppies/kittens to senior animals. I have some basic experience with training from my own pets. My Schedule: Until my summer ends, I am available almost daily. Once school starts, I am available on weekends and week day evenings. During these times, I can do check ins, feedings, walks, play times, or overnights. I am comfortable with week day overnights, if your pet is able to be alone during my typical 8 hour work day.

I care for and approach all animals as gently and lovingly as I do for my own. I am comfortable with many styles of pet care including crating, walking, outdoor and indoor play, anxiety management, and more. As a mom of an anxious rescue pup, I understand the importance of providing an animal a safe space. I make it my mission to help all pets feel comfortable and confident around me. I mold to your pet’s needs and personality, rather than making them bend to my own.
About: Growing up, my family has always had pets whether they were dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, hermit crabs or fish. This inspired me to receive my Associates degree in Veterinary Technology in 2024 at Del Tech then sit for and pass the VTNE to become an LVT (Licensed Veterinary Technician). I love animals dearly and would be happy to care for your pets during the day when their beloved ones are away from the house. I will care for your pet(s) as if they were my own! Whether we go for a walk together, run around the yard, give them a quick meal or just provide general companionship, I look forward to meeting your furbabies! I do have a full time job as a veterinary technician which leaves me unavailable every Monday and Friday but I do have availability other days of the week so be sure to send in a request so I can review it! I aim to be transparent and flexible with all customers about my availability. While at your home, I will watch your pets carefully to assure they are being safe while getting to spend time outside or just receiving some companionship. I will be sure to fill all food and water bowls (if applicable) before I leave to ensure your pets have access to basic needs.
About: I am a pet lover , i have had dogs and cats ever since I was a little girl , I love to take them on walks and play with them I currently have 5 Chihuahuas. I love all times of animals small big anything,I am amazing with animals I enjoy dog walking and am okay with dogs that have not been leash trained yet. I'm watchful and attentive of your pets so you don't have to worry about any cars or bumps , an bruises with other dogs. While I'm pet sitting it watching your dog they will have my full attention and help throughout the day or stroll! I look forward to enjoying time with each individual dog that may cross my path. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I have more than enough time for your pets to give them cuddles and plenty of play time. I don’t have a fenced in yard so my dog goes out on a long lead in the backyard so he has plenty of space to run and be free as he can be.
About: When I was around 8 I started volunteering at a barn simply because I loved to be around animals. I was constantly walking my neighbors dogs and my own. I now work at a boarding facility where I take care of dogs and cats. I love it and enjoy nothing more than making sure your pets are happy and cared for when you are not able to be there all the time. My friends and neighbors often ask me to watch their pets when they are away. My family currently has 3 rescue dogs, a cat and 3 horses. I look forward to the opportunity of caring for your fur babies!! I am going into my freshman year of community college and love the opportunity to be able to do something that I love in my free time I currently have 3 dogs that get along really well with each other and other dogs. I pay very close attention to how dogs act around each other and their environment to ensure they are safe.

“My dog had such a good time with Jill & Thomas that he almost did not want to come home. Translation, he was very comfortable, felt safe and enjoyed the home's human and dog interactions. Great experience for us all!”
“Brittany’s home is an oasis for dogs. Our girls loved chilling out in their big fenced in yard which they could sunbath or hide out under the shade trees especially the beautifully willow. Brittany is very responsive and without a doubt a true dog and animal lover. Trust that this would be a great place for your furry friends.”

About: My name is Taryn and I have lived with animals all my life. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, horses, fish, chickens, and small snakes. I have two young adult daughters that live at home and share the same passion as I do. I do have a 7yr old mix of my own that enjoys playing with others. If your dog happens to not be dog friendly, no worries; I provide in home dog care, drop in visits and dog walks! My home is clean, quiet, and pet proof. I have a large back yard with plenty of room for your best friend to run and play. We even have trails nearby where we can go on fun adventures! Pets will have free roam of the house so they don’t feel left out, after all they are apart of the family. Your pet(s) will never be alone or feel scared with me as their sitter. I work full time during the week. But I’m available weeknights for drop-ins, walks, and daycare. I’m available Fri-Sunday for the above as well as in home and in my home boarding. I have a large yard and a friendly dog for your pup to play with. If needed, I also have a crate. I don’t like crating my dog so prefer not to crate yours unless instructed by you for specific reasons. Of course they’ll be let out often to use the bathroom and have unlimited access to water. In your home, your pet will be let out when needed/scheduled if they have one, played with, and loved on. No matter where we are, my goal is to make your pet feel safe.
“Sadie had such a great time staying with Laura. She is very skeptical about new environments; however, she was very comfortable and showed no signs of stress. I will be asking Laura to watch Sadie again in the future.”
About: We have been a dog family for the past 11.5 years! We love our dogs so much! We have an 11 year old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix and a 2 year old Aussiedoodle. They are sweet and fun and love other dogs! We have 4 kiddos as well who love caring for the dogs including our 12 and 11 year old girls who love taking the dogs for walks! We are a homeschooling family so we are home most of the time and don't kennel our dogs at all while we are home! We have a huge fenced-in backyard that the dogs love to roam and run around in! Playing fetch in the back yard is a highlight in our home!

“Deanna was absolutely amazing, and we will definitely be booking with her again! We left Remi with her for a week while we were on vacation, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for. The daily texts and photos were such a wonderful bonus and made us smile every day. A special thank you to Deanna for being so patient, caring, and loving as Remi adjusted to being around other dogs and all the new sights and smells. We truly appreciate everything she did to make him feel comfortable and cared for. Thank you so much, Deanna—we couldn't have asked for a better experience!”
“This was our first time boarding our dog, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Chyann was incredibly sweet, attentive, and caring, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. She provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was well cared for, comfortable, and happy throughout the stay. She has a natural way with animals and made the entire experience stress-free for both us and our pup. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, trustworthy, and loving environment for their dog.”
