I’m incredibly grateful for the peace of mind he provided and would highly recommend Chandler to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet.”
“Peggy was a complete life saver and I will recommend her to everyone I know! I messaged her the night before our week long vacation, frantically trying to figure out a plan for our 7 month old Golden. She was available, responsive, and super helpful with getting everything set up. We dropped our sweet girl off the next morning, which was very easy and she was very welcoming. During our vacation, we would get pictures and updates.. she was basically part of Peggy's family. Knowing our Luna was in great hands 100% made our vacation stress-free and we were so appreciative!! Luna even came home with a new stuffie that hasn't left her side. Thank you SO much, we will absolutely use you again!”

About: I grew up on my dad’s hobby farm and always had different breeds of dogs to take care of. I trained the dogs to do simple tricks. Sit, stay, shake etc. I work a fully remote job from home. I’m at the house until 6:15pm on a normal day and will come home around 9pm. Not gone for long. I let pets in the house, I have a fenced in back yard and a dog crate for when I need to step out for a little bit.

About: Animals truly make my day! I’ve had dogs, cats, pigs, horses, cows — basically the whole farm — since I was little, so caring for animals is second nature to me. I’m currently a proud pup mom to a Dutch Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix, so I understand high energy, smart breeds, and the importance of structure and love. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own — with lots of affection, playtime, and safe, dependable care. Whether your baby needs long walks, belly rubs, or just a calm, reassuring presence, I’m your girl! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, and playtime without feeling rushed. Being home also means pets in my care get plenty of attention, supervision, and consistency throughout the day. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a midday walk, or overnight care, I can easily adjust my schedule to make sure each pet gets the time and love they deserve. I care for pets the same way I care for my own — with structure, attentiveness, and lots of love. In my home, pets receive a safe, clean, and calm environment with supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, walks, feeding on their normal schedule, and plenty of affection. I’m mindful of energy levels and personalities, whether they need extra exercise or a cozy, quiet space. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping your pet’s routine consistent to reduce stress. I follow feeding instructions carefully, refresh water bowls, provide walks and enrichment, clean up after them, and give updates with photos so you feel connected and confident while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel secure, cared for, and completely at ease.
“Nicole was so nice and cared for my two Aussie babies for two nights while I was out of town. I loved getting pictures throughout my trip. She took them out for walks and they looked so happy and comfortable with her. 10/10 recommend! Will definitely be back💕”
“Thank you, Kelly, for taking such wonderful care of Lucy and for letting her snuggle with you! I appreciate the updates and photos and great communication regarding pick up and drop off!”

“Felicia was amazing!! God she did me such a tremendous request, looking after my cat last minute for a week, was so kind and patient with me as a new customer (and as someone who was a mess and under a lot of stress lmao); she is fantastic!! I would recommend her to anybody!! And my cat is in perfect health, happy, and taken care of!! If you want somebody professional while also courteous and thorough, Felicia is the gal!! Thanks again girl ;^D”
“I am so blessed to have found Stacy! I have used her three times now for extended vacations and she has taken such excellent care of my cats each time. It's such a comfort to know they are in good hands so I can relax and enjoy my vacation! Highly recommend Stacy!!”
“Roxanne is wonderful! She did a great job taking care of our two cats and house! She was always on time, communicated every visit, sent photos of our fur babies and even did a few extra things like taking the trash out and bringing in packages! The cats did wonderful and were not stressed at all! I plan on using Roxanne again for our next trip!”
“Jeily was stellar in her care and concern of my sister’s cats. She was on time and efficient, always making sure both cats were cared for, fed, and given treats. Ipo is a shy kitty, but Jeily was able to get her to come out and make sure she got as much attention as Sushi. Will definitely contact her again if needed, and definitely recommend her.”
“My cats are skittish and not sociable with strangers, so I was hesitant on boarding my cats with a someone for a week. I have used Rover before, but it was always someone coming into my home where the cats were at least comfortable. This time I’m currently in a RV and wasn’t comfortable leaving them in a ‘tin can’ for a week with drop in visits. I haven’t been in a camper long and not sure about the temperature regulation while I was away on a cruise, so I decided to look for boarding and found Ashleigh. She agreed to take them so I booked with her. I reached out to Ashleigh the day before and found that there had been a misunderstanding on my part, but Ashleigh was great at explaining and offered a solution to put my mind at ease. Ashleigh made the most important part of the trip (boarding the babies) easier than I thought it would be. She showed the girls attention and sent pictures daily showing they were relaxed and comfortable ❤️”
“Reanna provided drop-in services for my Senior Weimaraner and I couldn’t have been more satisfied on all levels - from her positive attitude, to the coordination, her love and knowledge of animals, and the updates she would send to me while I was away. It was comforting knowing I had someone I could trust to take good care of my Weim. I will certainly use her services again when needed. Thanks Reanna!!”
“Poet was absolutely amazing with Bernoulli and Sunni. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and treated them like her own. She kept us updated, made us feel completely at ease, and our pups came home happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for her and would trust her again in a heartbeat 🤍”
“Melanie continues to be an excellent and reliable sitter! Great communication and wonderful to our pets. We don’t know what we’d do without her. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further!”
“Once again Talia provided excellent care of my babies. She was always on time and was very attentive to them. She was in constant communication during her visits and shared plenty of photos. I highly recommend Talia!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Gonzalez
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. I treat every dog like my own—with patience, love, and consistency. I have experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs. Pet care is a top priority in my daily routine. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, play, and cuddle sessions to ensure every pet feels loved, safe, and cared for. I work from home, so your pet will never feel alone or neglected. I create a safe, calm environment where pets feel at home. I have a doggie door and a fenced in yard. I follow their routines closely, keep a secure space (no open doors or hazards), and give lots of love and attention. Their comfort and safety always come first.
“Absolutely loved having Hannah watch my fur babies! I felt safe leaving them with her and her family. She sent pictures and videos of my dogs playing and lounging, she even logged potty breaks. I appreciated everything she did and was great with communication. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jeily is a wonderful sitter! Not only did she take Grizzly on short notice, but she allowed him to stay a few extra hours do to unforeseen circumstances. Grizzly had so much fun with her than he forgot he has separation anxiety! He got his medications on time and was only given what is on his special diet. I will definitely book again the next time I need a sitter!”
About: Hi! My name is Lianna and caring for dogs is truly something I love. I have over 5 years of experience fostering and working with dogs, and I’m also comfortable with basic training and handling dogs with different personalities. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes—from tiny 5 lb pups to large 100+ lb dogs—and I’m comfortable with all breeds. Because of my fostering experience, I’m used to reading dog body language and helping dogs feel safe, calm, and comfortable in new environments. When your dog is with me they will get: • Lots of love and attention • Safe, attentive care • Plenty of playtime and potty breaks • A calm and comfortable environment I treat every dog like they are my own, and my goal is always to make sure both you and your pup feel happy and stress-free while you’re away. Your baby will be in caring and experienced hands with me! Since we recently moved here for my husband’s military assignment, I’m currently home full-time, which allows me to give dogs my full attention throughout the day. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine, and your pup will never feel like they’re being squeezed in between other commitments. I live in a large, dog-friendly two-bedroom apartment with a dog park right downstairs, as well as a large park and walking trail just up the street. This makes it easy to give dogs plenty of exercise, potty breaks, and fresh air. Throughout the day I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playtime, and (with your permission) trips to the dog park so they can burn off energy and have fun. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship, making sure your dog feels comfortable and happy while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With over 5 years of experience fostering and working with dogs of all sizes and breeds, I’m very comfortable reading dog body language and making sure each dog feels calm and secure in a new environment. My home is a clean, calm, and pet-friendly space where dogs can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive about supervision, safe walks, and proper introductions with other dogs if we visit the dog park. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, training routines, or special needs. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident and relaxed knowing your pup is in good hands.
“Sami was available last minute for me and it was great! Communication was wonderful. I received several updates on my dog as well as many adorable photos. I felt very safe with my dog in her care! Thank you!!!”
“We had a great experience leaving our puppies with Kemarie! She provided excellent care in her home, and our pups were clearly well looked after while we were away. Communication was easy, and the whole process—from drop-off to pick-up—went smoothly. We truly appreciate her reliability and would definitely book with her again!”

About: I love dogs i see them as our fur children, I think they have just as much awareness as a human and should be treated as such. I've grown up with a dog since i was born and I've had 7dogs through my life and couldn't see myself without one. I would treat your fur baby like my own. I love caring for dogs they bring me such joy and happiness. I hope to meet you and your fur baby in the near future. I work from home during the week, so if I’m boarding your pet then they will be given plenty of potty breaks and rarely left alone. On weekends I am fully available for care. I have a large fenced yard with 3 pups of my own. Two are young and playful and ready to have more friends. One is an old guy who is usually hiding and leaves everyone alone.
“Benae was amazing! She loved and spoiled my baby during her Daycare stay! Also, she was so patient with this ridiculous fur mom that was leaving her fur baby for the very first time with a “stranger”🤍🙌🏼 She communicated well and with transparency, and kept you posted during the day with pics & videos. You could tell that she and her family are real animals lovers and enjoy what they’re doing. I definitely recommend her for taking care of your babies🐾❤️”

About: Taking care of and loving animals has always been a true passion of mine. Ever since I can remember, I’ve felt a natural connection with pets and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m comfortable around both cats and dogs of all personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or more calm and shy, I take the time to understand their needs and adjust my care to match their routine and comfort level.

I love taking dogs on walks and trips to the dog park (if permitted), making sure they stay active, stimulated, and happy.

From quick check-ins and playtime to longer stays, I truly enjoy it all and treat every pet as if they were my own. You can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and caring. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving hands while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible, with mornings and mid-days working best for walks and drop-in visits. I’m consistent and reliable, so your pet will get the care and attention they need right on time. I’m happy to work with your routine to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible to keep the pet comfortable and stress-free. I make sure doors are secured, water is fresh, and the environment is safe before and after each visit. During walks, I use secure leashes and stay alert at all times to ensure your pet’s safety. I avoid unsafe areas, watch for other animals, and pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and comfort. I always treat your home and your pet with respect and care, as if they were my own.

About: I have had pets my whole life and have always been the one to call to babysit my friends, family and neighborhood dogs and cats. I currently have a chocolate lab named Daisy and a Rescue lab mix named Buddy! I’ve been trusted to take care of all types of dogs and their needs. I’ve had the opportunity to care for an elderly blind boxer for a few years which required around the clock care. Making sure she was able to navigate through her home safely . I’m very comfortable with giving my undivided attention to any dog and their specific needs. I’m comfortable with taking dogs on long walks, playing with them to get their energy out, and giving any required medications I have just recently moved to Florida due to my husband’s job. In the meantime while I’m on the job hunt I’d love to care for your dog! I just moved to the area due to my husband being in the military and am currently looking for my full time job. So in the meantime when not searching for a job, I have plenty of time to take your dog(s) on walks and give them all the attention they need. I am free anytime of the day to take your dog on walks and or go visit and love on them while you are away. If your dog is staying overnight with me I have a 4 year old chocolate lab named Daisy, who is very playful and friendly. Daisy loves to play with other dogs. So your dog will not only get walk time, but have plenty of play time. Our yard is fenced in but I am always outside watching the dogs play.
“Maria is just wonderful to your fur baby. Hunter was so happy to meet her and her ‘kid’. He played the whole day and learned how to go up/down steps. Maria has a magic way of communicating to your dog. I don’t think he wanted to leave do to the great time he had 😀. He’ll be back!”
“Alena has taken care of my dog twice for doggy day care and she is wonderful. My dog truly likes her and was happy to stay with her. She had fun playing with Alena's dog and acted comfortable in Alena's house. She is normally hesitant with men, but liked Alena's husband too. I'd highly recommend her.”

About: Hello, my name is Michelle and I have taken care of animals all my life. I will love and care for your pets like they are my own. I currently have two dogs and a cat, Gus, Chiggy, and Helmut. Gus was a rescue who is a heartworm survivor. He has been with our family for four years. Chiggy is a foster fail who is going through HW treatment. She has been with us four months. Helmut came to us as an abandoned kitten. After bottle feeding him and getting him strong and healthy, he fit right in with our furry menagerie. He has been part of our family since 2017. My husband and I foster with local groups wherever we find ourselves. I understand how much you love your fur babies and I will provide top notch care and provide you peace of mind.

About: I grew up in Vermont around farms and have always loved animals. In 2015 I became a certified professional dog trainer and owned my own successful business for many years. My services beyond training include house sitting (with my dog Layla) drop in visits, dog walking and more. I am available for jobs any day of the week. This includes dog training, pet sitting, dog walking, drop in visits, and more. I am excited to give you peace of mind knowing your beloved fur baby is in good hands while you are away. Every animal is an individual and deserves unique care regarding their specific needs and personalities. I care for animals with patience, care and kindness. I will not overwhelm them with unwanted attention unless they seek it out themselves. I respect their wishes and have proven certifications for understanding dog body language. I am empathetic to each animals needs and desires and am happy to oblige to anything they want.

About: Hi! My name is Lianna and caring for dogs is truly something I love. I have over 5 years of experience fostering and working with dogs, and I’m also comfortable with basic training and handling dogs with different personalities. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes—from tiny 5 lb pups to large 100+ lb dogs—and I’m comfortable with all breeds. Because of my fostering experience, I’m used to reading dog body language and helping dogs feel safe, calm, and comfortable in new environments. When your dog is with me they will get: • Lots of love and attention • Safe, attentive care • Plenty of playtime and potty breaks • A calm and comfortable environment I treat every dog like they are my own, and my goal is always to make sure both you and your pup feel happy and stress-free while you’re away. Your baby will be in caring and experienced hands with me! Since we recently moved here for my husband’s military assignment, I’m currently home full-time, which allows me to give dogs my full attention throughout the day. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine, and your pup will never feel like they’re being squeezed in between other commitments. I live in a large, dog-friendly two-bedroom apartment with a dog park right downstairs, as well as a large park and walking trail just up the street. This makes it easy to give dogs plenty of exercise, potty breaks, and fresh air. Throughout the day I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playtime, and (with your permission) trips to the dog park so they can burn off energy and have fun. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship, making sure your dog feels comfortable and happy while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With over 5 years of experience fostering and working with dogs of all sizes and breeds, I’m very comfortable reading dog body language and making sure each dog feels calm and secure in a new environment. My home is a clean, calm, and pet-friendly space where dogs can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive about supervision, safe walks, and proper introductions with other dogs if we visit the dog park. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, training routines, or special needs. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident and relaxed knowing your pup is in good hands.
“Jessica was a last-minute reservation to keep Shelby for me as I had to fly out of the country. She gave me updates daily on him with pictures of how well he was doing, and I’m amazed because Shelby is such a mama’s boy that it’s too funny that he adapted to other people as well as he did I will definitely”
“I cannot recommend her enough!! Leaving my 9-week-old puppy with someone for the first time made me so nervous, but she completely exceeded every expectation I had. From the moment I dropped my puppy off, I felt 100% at ease. She provided constant updates, and photos which meant so much to me and really showed how much she genuinely cares. My puppy had the absolute best time playing with her resident dogs and was so happy, stimulated, and loved the entire stay. Honestly, I don’t even think my puppy wanted to leave! That alone says everything. It’s clear she creates such a safe, fun, and loving environment for the dogs in her care. It is such a relief to have found someone I fully trust, and I will absolutely be booking with her again. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, she is the one!”
