Billie is a high-energy dog, and they provided such an active, loving, and supportive environment that she immediately felt right at home. Nicole kept me updated every day with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I especially loved the thoughtful little touches—like playing Billie Eilish songs for Billie! It was clear that she was treated like part of the family and received lots of attention, exercise, and affection. I am incredibly grateful for the care, communication, and kindness they showed. I would absolutely trust Nicole with Billie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their dog as if it were their own.”

I truly could not have asked for a better experience. The next time we leave town, I already know who my dog sitter will be. I HIGHLY recommend Andy if you need someone to watch your furry family member.”

I have complete peace of mind when I'm traveling. My dog has diabetes so her care is very specific and I always feel confident she's well cared for.”

About: From an early age I began petsitting a variety of dogs in my neighborhood, family, and of friends. From Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Jack Russells, Dachshunds, Beagles, Hounds, Dobermanns, and more I have experience with a range of breeds. I often used to petsit for my neighbors who had five dogs. I also have owned a Rottweiler, Rhodesian Ridgeback and Bichon Frisé.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, attentive dog sitter who treats every pup like part of the family. I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so my goal is simple: keep your dog safe, happy, exercised, and loved—while keeping you updated and worry-free. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities—from couch potatoes to zoomie champions. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medications, leash manners, and sticking closely to your dog’s usual schedule. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, calm companionship, or all of the above, I adjust to what they need. You can expect: • Lots of one-on-one attention • Regular photo and video updates • Respect for your home and your rules • Clear, prompt communication • A sitter who actually enjoys hanging out with your dog I understand dogs communicate in their own ways, and I’m patient with shy pups, seniors, and dogs who need a little extra care. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first. If you’re looking for someone dependable, calm, and genuinely dog-obsessed, I’d love to help care for your pup while you’re away. I am a dog Mom of 3 (small, medium, & large LOL) with a strong support system at home allowing me to assist you with your dog sitting needs. Having recently resigned from a very stressful corporate America role, I am ready for a meaningful, positive experience that gets me excited to go to work and take the best care of your fur babies having 3 spoiled pups of my own. I also have several years of experience with cat care for my neighbors who travel often. Keeping pets on schedule is very important to me and my pups. Following client instructions regarding feeding times, walks or time in the yard, applicable medications and/or treats, playtime, bedtime or whatever is needed for the best experience for the owner & pet!

“Words cannot express my gratitude for having been referred to Aaron. This man is amazing. This was my first time boarding my puppy and along with her were my daughter’s two large dogs. In just a few short months, I became very attached to my little girl Sadie and had such reluctance to leave her. My friend, who uses Aaron exclusively, assured me they would be in good hands. He took his time to show us around after I drop them off. The property is well suited, and I felt good. Received daily updates and photos which just reassured me that she was where she was supposed to be. We’re planning on a getaway in the summer and feel good that Sadie found a safe place to play and be. Again Aaron, you were wonderful thank you.”

Our dogs are always happy to stay at her house and visit with other canine friends. Definitely recommend her!”
