“Haylie took amazing care of our Millie girl. She sent updates each day and made Millie comfortable as it was her first time away from home. She came home happy and lively and I can tell she had a great time. I can’t thank you enough !”
“Adam has friendly dogs that played with our Hayden.. We were updated with videos and pics several times a day. I think Hayden enjoyed himself as much as we did on our vacay”
“Zarria did she great job. Good communication throughout their stay and lots of pictures! My boys loved the morning walls and were well taken care of. Thank you so much!”
“Sarah did a fantastic time taking care of our pet. While we were gone over the holidays. She had to deal with New Year's Eve and our pet being afraid of fireworks. There were no occurrences of panic and she came home completely at ease. Our pet did not show any behavior issues of anger that we went off and left her, so that is the highest compliment I can give. Thank you so much, Sarah and family!”
“Autumn was awesome. Our Sealia had an awesome time and was spoiled. I highly recommend Autumn’s services. Great price and flexibility makes her an awesome choice.”
“Elijah excellent this was the second time he watched Max was so understanding when I had to extend my days. Kept me updated with Max. I will have him sit with Max again.”
“I left my two frenchies with Tish for the first time for 3 nights. I could not have been more pleased with the way she took care of them. She sent lots of photos and made sure they were comfortable with their surroundings. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is as picky as I am with who my babies stay with. I will definitely book with her again”
“Leaving the country for nine days and what to do with your ninety pound loving chocolate lab who has never been boarded before? Try Ms. Abigail out you will not be sorry. We got a meet and greet several days before the booked stay. Abigail has a large property, one dog and a family with lovely kids who enjoy animals. While away we received pictures and updates of our pet’s boarding experience. Abigail made the drop off and pick up easy and she replied quickly to any communications. Our family recommends Abigail for pet boarding.”
“Sandra was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Alec! She took such great care of him during his 6-night stay and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated with plenty of pictures and messages, which I really appreciated and loved seeing. It was clear that Alec was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would definitely book with Sandra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter. Thank you, Sandra!”
About: Hi Everyone, My name is Penny and thank you for considering me as your Pet Caregiver. I have had pets (mostly dogs) in my life since a very young child.

About: An avid animal lover! I grew up with dogs. They loved me just as much as I loved them. My grandparents always had dogs since the time I was born. Their favorite one: German Rottweiler. They are beautiful dogs and so protective. I always helped my grandparents all the time with the dogs. We would have 6 or more dogs in the household all at once, so I have experience with having multiple dogs at once. Additionally, I can teach them tricks such as giving paw, sitting, laying, etc. I have experience from puppies to senior dogs as I know they required different type of care. I'll treat them like they are my own. I currently work full time during the weekdays, but I'm available after 6pm on the weekdays and all day availability on the weekends. I'll be able to provide the care they require. I don't have any dogs at home. However, I do have kids, so I understand the safety and how important it is to have a safe environment. However, currently not offering services to have dogs at my home at this time.

About: What sets me apart is the love and understanding I bring to every pet. I’ve had dogs my whole life, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors, and I’ve learned how to give each stage of life the care it deserves. I recently lost my dog of 12 years, who was truly my sidekick, and I miss that special bond every day. Being a sitter gives me the chance to share that same love, patience, and companionship with other pets while giving their families peace of mind. I work as a teacher Monday through Friday, so I’m available to care for pets before and after school hours during the week. On weekends, I’m completely free and can give your pets my full attention all day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. In your home, I make sure to follow your routines closely so your pet feels secure and cared for just the way they’re used to. I take extra care with things like feedings, walks, and playtime, and I’m attentive to details you share with me. If I’m caring for pets in my home, they’ll have a safe, loving environment where they get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. My goal is always to make them feel at home and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

They will receive love and feel at home and most importantly do everything I can for you and your fur baby to be comfortable. We have 3 acres fully fenced in, so plenty of room to let out energy and playtime 🙂

Besides my own pet sitting business, I have work experience caring for packs of dogs as I have worked at dog daycare facilities Camp Run-A-Mutt and Dogtopia in San Diego. I am trained in handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY: I am certified and trained in Pet CPR and First Aid through an in-person course with AmeriMed. It was very important for me to take this course in case of an emergency were to occur I know exactly how to help your pet quickly without any hesitation. In this course I learned how to: • Assess pets for a medical emergency. • How to treat common medical emergencies. • Perform CPR on cats and dogs. • Safe handling, restraint and transportation of sick and/or injured pets. I respond fast when you send in a booking request. Pets are apart of our families and I will insure you that your pet will be in good hands during our booking providing you photos of your happy pups and cats. I care for your pets as if they were my own making sure that they are comfortable and have everything that they need during our visit. I am currently running my pet sitting business Full Time!

I also have a very large 2 acre lot that is completely fenced in.
About: Calm, attentive care tailored to your pet. ☀️ Summer Safety Advisory ☀️ Due to Florida’s extreme heat and humidity, dogs are at serious risk of heat exhaustion and heatstroke in as little as 10–15 minutes of exertion during peak sun hours. Because of this, all walks during late spring through early fall may be shortened or adjusted for safety and replaced with enrichment-based activities, shaded sniff time, or indoor play when appropriate. Your dog’s health and comfort always come first. 🐾 Pet Care Experience I provide thoughtful, enrichment-focused care that’s tailored to each pet’s individual needs, energy level, and comfort. My goal is not just to “get through” a visit, but to make sure your pet feels safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a background in wildlife sanctuary rehabilitation and have served as an adoptions director, which means I’ve worked hands-on with animals of all temperaments, ages, and medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications ( just not injections), managing multi-pet households, and supporting shy, anxious, senior, or special-needs pets. My approach to pet care is informed by ongoing education in dog behavior, body language, and force-free, reward-based training. I pay close attention to stress signals, pacing, and environment, and I adjust each visit accordingly. Whether your dog needs structured activity, calm companionship, or space to decompress, I aim to meet them where they are. 🦴 Bonus Enrichment Option I also manage one of Gainesville’s top-rated private Sniffspots, The Zoomie Zone, located in Midtown. This fully private, reservation-only yard is ideal for dogs who benefit from off-leash play without the pressure of public dog parks. Many clients choose to incorporate Sniffspot visits into walks or drop-ins as a way to provide safe zoomies, sniff-based enrichment, or low-distraction decompression time. If you’re interested in adding a Sniffspot visit to your booking, feel free to ask. Returning clients can also receive discount codes for independent bookings. Whether we’re heading out for a structured walk, enjoying shaded sniff time, or keeping things low-key indoors, I focus on providing calm, attentive, and reliable care you can trust. 🗓️ Scheduling and booking process To make sure every booking is safe, smooth, and a good fit, I require a complimentary 15-minute meet and greet for all new clients. This takes place at the location where care will be provided and gives us a chance to review your pet’s routine, home setup, safety needs, and comfort level. **Meet and greet exceptions:** * Cats do not require a meet and greet unless there are medications, behavioral concerns, or a complicated home setup * Puppies under five months may be booked without a meet and greet when appropriate * Returning clients may fast-track future bookings Please schedule your meet and greet at least 72 hours before your first requested service so we have enough time to coordinate properly. After the initial meet and greet, you are all set for future bookings. If you move to a new home or apartment, you are welcome to schedule another visit so I can become familiar with the new layout, entry instructions, and pet-care setup. 🚶♀️ Dog walks and drop-ins I organize dog walks and cat drop-ins into efficient daily routes using flexible arrival windows. This helps reduce unnecessary travel time while still allowing me to provide thoughtful, attentive care during every visit. Dog-care windows: * Standard visits generally take place between 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM * Morning visits may begin as early as 8:00 AM * Evening visits may be available for dogs who need additional flexibility **Cat-care windows:** * My preferred cat visit window is between 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM * Visits requiring medication or strict timing will be scheduled around those needs whenever possible Dogs are generally prioritized earlier because of restroom needs, but every pet receives the same level of care, attention, and communication. 🐾 Premium boarding Boarding is a high-touch, in-home service for clients who want a fully hands-off experience while their dog is away. At this time, boarding is available only to dogs who already have an established walking, drop-in, or daycare relationship with me. This helps ensure your dog is already comfortable with me, my home, my routine, and my resident pets before an overnight stay. While boarding with me, your dog will: * Live inside my home as part of the household * Be my only boarding guest and receive individualized attention * Receive daily enrichment, engagement, and structured downtime * Enjoy supervised access to my private Sniffspot for play, sniffing, and decompression * Follow a routine tailored to their age, energy level, temperament, and physical needs Enrichment may include: * Frozen meals or food puzzles using West Paw Toppls * Sniff-based games, treat hunts, and low-pressure training activities * Nature walks or hikes at San Felasco when weather permits * Visits to quiet recreational fields when no other animals are present * Indoor play and low-impact enrichment during extreme heat or storms Most dogs return home happy, fulfilled, and very ready for a nap. 🚨 Boarding behavior and safety expectations The safety and comfort of my resident pets are a top priority. Dogs boarding with me must be safe around cats and respectful toward my personal dog. Dogs showing aggression, predatory behavior, severe resource guarding, or repeated unsafe behavior toward resident animals may not be eligible for boarding. If a boarding stay must be ended for safety reasons, care may be converted to drop-in visits at your home for feeding, potty breaks, and companionship whenever possible. 🚗 Premium pick-up and drop-off For added convenience, I offer pet transportation as an optional add-on. I can personally pick up or return your dog along my existing daily route, allowing you to leave your dog comfortably at home without coordinating an in-person handoff. This service is priced accordingly to reflect the additional time, travel, and personalized care involved. ⛔ Important booking policies * One complimentary meet and greet is included for new clients * Additional meetings should be booked as a walk or drop-in to cover time and travel * Every pet receiving care must be listed on the Rover booking * Bookings should be confirmed within 48 hours of the meet and greet or the requested time may be released * House-sitting and drop-in bookings follow a seven-day cancellation policy * Availability is not guaranteed until a booking has been formally confirmed by you. through Rover. If you have questions, a complicated schedule, or a pet with unusual care needs, I am always happy to talk through the details before booking. Care philosophy and communication: In my home, pets and plants are family, and every animal in my care is treated with the same level of respect, attention, and consideration I give my own. I understand that every pet has an individual personality and different needs. Some thrive on companionship, while others prefer play, structure, quiet encouragement, or simply having a calm person nearby. My goal is to be a steady, reassuring presence your pet can rely on while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in their own home or taking them on an enrichment field trip to The Zoomie Zone, I focus on creating a safe, engaging, and low-stress experience that supports both their physical and emotional well-being. During each visit, you’ll receive a detailed Rover Card with notes about meals, potty breaks, mood, activities, and anything noteworthy from our time together. If your pet gives me an especially great photo opportunity, I may also send along a favorite edited image. Unless something genuinely requires your attention, I will not interrupt your vacation, work trip, or conference. My goal is to be both your pet’s advocate and your peace of mind while you’re away. 🚨 Safety and stress policy Safety is always my top priority, both for your pet and for me. If a pet displays aggression, extreme fear, severe anxiety, or behavior that makes a visit unsafe, I will still make every reasonable effort to ensure their essential needs are met, including food, water, medication when safely possible, and potty access. However, I may modify or shorten the visit if continuing would increase stress or create a risk of injury. This is never done as punishment. It is a safety decision intended to prevent escalation and protect everyone involved. Any significant concerns will be clearly documented and communicated to you. 🛏️ Crate or confinement requirement for boarding For boarding stays, dogs must be comfortable resting safely in a crate, exercise pen, gated room, or behind another secure household barrier. This is a firm boarding requirement. At night, during meals when separation is needed, and anytime dogs cannot be directly supervised, boarding guests will be safely confined. This gives every animal appropriate space to rest and ensures all pets remain secure while I am sleeping, showering, completing household tasks, or briefly away from home. Crates and gated spaces are always used as calm, neutral resting areas, never as punishment. If your dog normally uses a crate, pen, gated room, or another confinement routine at home, please share the details with me so I can keep their stay as familiar and low-stress as possible. Dogs do not need to love being crated, but they must be able to tolerate safe confinement without panicking, attempting to escape, or injuring themselves. If your dog is not currently comfortable with any form of secure separation, boarding may not be the right fit at this time. In that case, drop-in care in their own home may be a safer and more comfortable alternative. This is non-negotiable.
About: I've taken care of animals since I was 19. I've gotten people who asked me to watch their pets, walk their pets, and clean their pets. I'm currently working part-time so I have time pet sit, walk your pet, and if they need a bath or need to be fed I can do a verity. I usually go to the clients house to take care of the pets. I can't take pets at my house because I have a dog.
About: Experienced in most breeds and love to pamper and adore your pet! I will spend time with them and make sure they enjoy themselves while you are away! I am a current graduate student at the University of Florida, therefore I have a flexible schedule and availability to be with your beloved pet longer than most! I understand that pets are a precious part of the family. They deserve love and attention even when you're away. I will be happy to care for them!
About: Serving Pets and their Owners for over 30 Years! I am Pet CPR certified. I provide the home away from home for your furry babies!! It is what I was born doing and have continued to do. Everything from dogs and cats, horses and exotics. From running other pet care facilities to vet hospitals to owning and running my own grooming and dog care business. I am currently at home fulltime to care and provide for your furry babies. I cater to the routine of each dog in my home. Knowing each dog individually helps me provide the best care/environment for their stay. I provide individual time with each dog and/or group play only with dogs that play well with other. I am also Pet CPR certified.
About: Unlike traditional boarding, dogs under my care stay in my home on 2.4 acres, where they receive personalized care, structured routines, and plenty of mental and physical enrichment. My goal is for every dog to have a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable stay while giving owners peace of mind. I'm a professional dog trainer with over 10 years of experience and an AKC Canine Good Citizen & STAR Puppy Evaluator. I specialize in obedience, service dogs, and behavioral rehabilitation, so I'm comfortable working with puppies, seniors, reactive dogs, and dogs with special needs. Pet care is my full time job. I own and operate Canine Collegiate, a home-based daycare, boarding, training, and grooming facility on 2.4 acres in Lake Asbury. Because we live on the property, the dogs get frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Dogs stay in our home, not in a traditional kennel. Because of this we do have vaccines requirements for kennel cough (bordatella), parvo, distemper and rabies, as well as a negative fecal test within the past two weeks. We keep a structured routine with supervised play, enrichment, rest breaks, and time outdoors on our fenced property. I'm a professional dog trainer with over 10 years of experience, so I'm comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, reactive dogs, and dogs with special behavioral needs. I maintain a clean, structured, and safe environment for all dogs in our care. We use a HEPA air purifier and require all dogs to be up to date on vaccinations. Each dog also receives a quick health check at pickup.
“Bud had a good day. This was his first doggy daycare, and it was a positive experience for Bud and his family. Haylie kept me updated throughout the day; she was kind and seemed to really enjoy taking care of him. It was nice for him to also have time with her golden doodle and child. Thank you Haylie”
“This is Louie’s second visit with Sarah. He was SO excited when we pulled up, his entire tail and lower half of his body was wagging and he was incredibly eager to go inside and play with the other dogs. And that is Louie’s review, which I believe would go something like this: “Mom, when can I go back and play?? Please??””
“Erica was very responsive to my inquiries and any questions I had. We needed a dog sitter for one day as we visited a national park. Erica was very friendly as she greeted us at her door. Her dogs were also equally enthusiastic to have a new playmate. Our pup went right in and did not look back as we left. She sent a cute photo midday of him taking a nap! This was our first experience with Rover and we would do it again!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and come from a very animal-loving family. We’ve cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and fish. I also have 5+ years of fostering experience, helping care for over 20 dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I’ve never lived without a pet, and currently I have one dog and an outside cat. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring for your pets, and I would treat them like family. I work from home, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day. I also enjoy going on multiple walks daily, so having a dog to join me would be wonderful. Your pet would receive lots of attention, exercise, and care. I provide a safe and loving environment for pets in my care. I live in a nice, walkable neighborhood that’s great for daily walks. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks to the beach boardwalk. I’m experienced with giving medication to pets, since I give medicine to my own dog daily. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and safe.
“Mary was amazing from the jump! I am new to the area and was worried about sending my dog off with someone I didn’t know but Mary immediately put me at ease. She asked questions, provided clarity, and wanted to make sure my dog and I were comfortable with everything. Would love to use her again!”

About: Hi Everyone, My name is Penny and thank you for considering me as your Pet Caregiver. I have had pets (mostly dogs) in my life since a very young child. The unconditional love they provide always makes my heart smile and I will always care for your fur babies as if they are my own :) I have spent the last 20 years caring for my own 4 very special dogs and unfortunately it came time for them to cross the rainbow bridge due to age. I miss caring for them and would love to now spend my time assisting you in caring for your Fur Baby. I have had the pleasure of caring for my neighbors animals (including chickens) while they have traveled and can provide references upon request. I look forward to meeting with you and your beloved pets 🐾 I am currently a caretaker for an elderly post surgical neighbor and have a lot of free time most days. I would love the opportunity to care for your dog or cat when you are unable to be at home for them :) I am trustworthy and reliable to take care of your precious fur babies on my down time. I will follow all of your instructions and give them all the love they need while you are away.
About: Growing up my family always had cats and dogs, so I’ve been around them my whole life. Pets bring so much love and fun into your life, they are a part of the family and they are so important. I will care for your pet like they are my own. I have a 6 year old poodle named Lola who I love with my whole heart. My qualifications- I’ve taken care of older cats for a neighbor, I’ve housesat for friends and family who have pets, and I volunteered at an animal shelter for over a year, where I would clean kennels, take dogs on walks, play with cats, and organize and paint the shelter. Thank you for considering me as your pet-sitter! ❤️ I have flexible hours, because I work as a door dasher, but pet-sitting/walking is my preferred job, so I can be available whenever I am needed. In my home, my dog Lola has access to food and water 24/7, and I take her outside every 4 hours or so during the day. She lets me know when she needs to go outside. In your home, I can provide any feeding/walking schedule that your pet is used to. I’m very easy-going and adaptable to anything.
About: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals, I bring a calm, confident, and loving approach to every pet I meet. Big dogs don’t scare me—in fact, I adore them—and my background as a vet tech in an emergency clinic means I’m comfortable handling medical needs, including administering medications. I truly love all animals, and I talk to every dog, cat, or critter as if they were my own. Your pets will be in patient, capable, and genuinely caring hands with me. I can work from anywhere and I set my own hours so I'm available for any schedule that you and your pets need, even if it's just a visit. In your home, I care for your pets just like my own. Our cat sleeps with us, Tank is on the floor on my side is the bed. I talk to them like they're my best friends. 😊
About: Hi, My name is Maarten and twenty-nine years ago, I applied for an internship at Artis, a zoo in Amsterdam. As luck would have it, I didn't get the job and life took me in a different direction. Now I am 45 years old and fate has finally delivered me to a spot where I can get back to my childhood dream of working with animals. I grew up in a household filled with animals: dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, rats and parrots. This nurtured a wide knowledge of animal care. Over the years, we've had 9 dogs, all of which I trained myself. At the moment, I am raising a 1.5 year old German Shepherd and a 6 month old BullMastiff mix. I want to say that over the years, dogs have grown especially close to my heart. To be honest, they have completely taken over. At the moment, I work part-time as a kennel attendant for S.A.F.E. Pet Rescue. Although I consider it a dream job, my long-term goal is to open up my own doggy daycare. Approach to Dog Walking: I believe that every dog is unique and deserves the utmost care and respect. I approach dog walking with a big smile and a warm heart. My goal is to create a fun and lively experience for your dog, making each walk a joyful adventure. During our walks, I'll ensure your furry friend's safety and well-being, while also encouraging positive behavior. Wednesday and Thursday I work for S.A.F.E. Animal Shelter. The rest of the week I am available between 08:00 and 15:30. Evening visits can be planned by special request. The safety of your pets and property are my main focus. Before you take me on as your pet profesional we will go over your dog's/cat's strengths and weaknesses to ensure a healthy happy and safe experience.
About: I have taken care of all types of animals ranging from dogs to chickens, as well as birds and horses, and have grown up with cats all my life. The dog breeds I have cared for in my work experience have been pitbulls, standard poodles, lab/hound mixes, golden retrievers, chow mixes, chihuahuas, etc. I am currently taking a year off from working as a full-time elementary teacher, so my availability has become much more flexible in regards to accommodating future clients' schedules. As a courtesy, however, a 1 week in advance notice is always preferred, so that way I may plan accordingly!😁 I would prefer to fur-babysit at my client's home just because it is where they are most familiar, and I want them to be comfortable. I love to capture my time spent with them and send you plenty of photos to ensure they are in the best care possible!

About: I've taken care of animals since I was 19. I've gotten people who asked me to watch their pets, walk their pets, and clean their pets. I'm currently working part-time so I have time pet sit, walk your pet, and if they need a bath or need to be fed I can do a verity. I usually go to the clients house to take care of the pets.

About: ◾️ When people ask if I'm a dog or a cat person, I say, "I'm an animal person!" I have a lifelong passion to care for nature and animals, whether cats, dogs, or other critter friends! I grew up with several pets who were part of the family, including a dog and four cats. Currently, I have a crested gecko named Savoovfy 🦎 and a mixed Jack Russell dog named Taro 🐶 , whom I adore. I'm also looking for a cat to adopt to join the crew soon! 🐈 ◾️ For many years now, I have been pet-sitting for family and friends. Last year I started pet-sitting professionally, and I have loved getting to meet so many incredible pets and spending time with them 😄 ◾️ I have had the joy of caring for a variety of pets of all ages, breeds, medication needs, and energy levels ⚡️, ranging from young to old, from chihuahuas to mastiffs to mixed dogs, from domestic shorthair cats to Maine Coons, and also including reptiles, birds, and fish. I truly look forward to every walk or jog, every drop-in, every moment with the pets. ◾️Outside of pet-sitting, I love hiking, photography, and art (often with my pup by my side! 📷🌳). Can't wait to meet your furbaby! 💕 ◾️ I am a full-time pet-sitter with flexible booking times, so I can accommodate a variety of times to best maintain your pet's/pets' routines! 🗓 ◾️ In-home pet care can work best for many pets, since they are in their most comfortable environment. I am happy to help care for your pet/pets in your home in the best way possible, depending on their needs and personality. I have fun taking dogs for short walks or for longer adventures 🌎, at a slow pace or jogging. I also always enjoy playing with dogs or cats 🎉, or just hanging out with them and checking on them if they're in a more chill mood. I walk dogs rain or shine and will dry their fur afterwards (as long as you and your pup are comfortable with the rain!) I always love getting to see multiple animals at once, and other cute critters like birds, rodents, reptiles, and fish are always welcome too! I am experienced in administering a variety of medications as well, and I am certified in delivering pet CPR and first aid. ◾️ Boarding pets in someone else's home can be a great option as well in some cases. I am unable to offer boarding at this time since I live in a small apartment, but my dream is to board all the animals once I have a house with a backyard! 🏡

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I worked as a veterinary technician in high school for 2 years, gaining hands-on experience with pets of all sizes—from tiny kittens to large-breed dogs, and even exotic pets. I’ve personally cared for reptiles, senior pets, and energetic puppies, so I’m confident handling all ages and temperaments. Whether your pet needs meds, extra patience, or just tons of love—I’m here for it! What sets me apart is my vet tech background and my calm, confident approach with all kinds of animals. I’m not just here to “watch” your pet—I truly care about their comfort and happiness. I understand body language, medical needs, and how to keep pets safe and stress-free. You can relax knowing your fur (or scale!) baby is in experienced and loving hands. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I’m a nursing student and currently work PRN as an EMT after working full-time in EMS since 2021. My schedule is flexible, especially during weekdays and weekends, and I’m great at time management. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I love having pet visits or walks as part of my day—it’s a welcome break from the chaos of EMS life! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. With my background as an EMT and former vet tech, I’m calm in emergencies, attentive to detail, and confident in administering medications or handling special needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I stick closely to their routine and make sure they feel secure and loved. I respect your space, keep things clean, and provide regular updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. You can trust that they’ll be treated like family.

“Haylie took amazing care of our Millie girl. She sent updates each day and made Millie comfortable as it was her first time away from home. She came home happy and lively and I can tell she had a great time. I can’t thank you enough !”
“Sarah did a fantastic time taking care of our pet. While we were gone over the holidays. She had to deal with New Year's Eve and our pet being afraid of fireworks. There were no occurrences of panic and she came home completely at ease. Our pet did not show any behavior issues of anger that we went off and left her, so that is the highest compliment I can give. Thank you so much, Sarah and family!”
“I left my two frenchies with Tish for the first time for 3 nights. I could not have been more pleased with the way she took care of them. She sent lots of photos and made sure they were comfortable with their surroundings. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is as picky as I am with who my babies stay with. I will definitely book with her again”
“Leaving the country for nine days and what to do with your ninety pound loving chocolate lab who has never been boarded before? Try Ms. Abigail out you will not be sorry. We got a meet and greet several days before the booked stay. Abigail has a large property, one dog and a family with lovely kids who enjoy animals. While away we received pictures and updates of our pet’s boarding experience. Abigail made the drop off and pick up easy and she replied quickly to any communications. Our family recommends Abigail for pet boarding.”

“We had a great experience with Labresha! Our dog clearly enjoyed his stay and came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and we felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands.”
“Our babies were so well taken care of! It was a long stay and Kelly provided regular updates, letting us know how much fun they were having and adapting. I highly recommend!”
“Samantha and her family gave my Riley lots of love and attention, even taking her to an event they went to!! She took her on walks and gave her lots of play time with another pup she watches during the week. I will definitely be booking again so Riley can get lots of loving when we go out of town!!”
“Natalie was great for Sadie, our Springer Spaniel. She sent photos and made sure that she was well cared for and looked good when I picked her up. We would do it again! Thank you Natalie and family!!!🐶”
“We are absolutely satisfied with our sitter experience for our girls! We had a meet and greet with Lisa prior to their stay and had an instant connection as she and her family have prior experience with Shih Tsu’s. We felt comfortable from beginning to end of stay. We appreciate the daily updates, pictures, and after-stay follow up! We will definitely book with Lisa again!”
“Whitney and her family were fantastic to my Lyra, highly recommend Whitney to anyone that’s looking for a safe and loving sitter. Lyra is already looking forward to going back in the future”
“Vanessa is WONDERFUL. She kept our dogs for the weekend at the last minute. She was accommodating and really listened to our instructions and adjusted to our dog’s needs while they were there. The dogs came back home tired and happy (thank you, Vanessa and family).”
“Erica was great with our dog! Since we got her as a puppy, she’d never needed to stay with a dog sitter or in boarding, so when we went on our long weekend trip out of town, we were nervous about leaving her with someone. From the beginning, Erica was extremely communicative, so I felt much better at the start with leaving our dog with her. When we went to drop our dog off, Erica and her family made our dog feel as if she was part of the family. She sent photos and text updates throughout the whole weekend while we were gone. We will definitely be asking Erica to watch our dog again when we have to go out of town!”
“My dog seemed to enjoy her stay with Trinity and Thomas. It gave me peace of mind knowing Trinity works as a vet tech and Thomas works from home, so my dog had plenty of attention. We also did a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure our dogs got along, which I really appreciated. It seemed like my dog got lots of playtime with their dog during her stay. I knew beforehand that their dog might tear up soft toys, so we only brought toys we were okay with parting with. However, one of my dog's hard toys and her food bowl also ended up getting chewed, which is not something my dog usually does. Just keep in mind if you bring any toys or food items that their dog may have access to, they may get chewed on.”
