“Nathalie was so great! Our pup had a wonderful time and Nathalie was giving us updates and pictures that really made us feel comfortable knowing our little one was happy and having such a great time! Will call Nathalie anytime we need a sitter and would highly recommend!”
“Jewel was so kind and detailed taking all the info I had for Luna since she is Diabetic and on special diet. Has a fenced in yard and walks the dogs. She brought out her two precious little princesses to meet Luna and they were so adorable. Her detailed text with pics of Luna’s daily events made my day. Thank you so much Jewel. I can see Luna was super relaxed since picking her up and her usual cry whining just didn't happen. It usually takes her three days to get chill again when I leave her. Thank you and your pups for her great stay away from home. 💖 You were the perfect pick for Luna.”
“Frances took such great care of my fur babies! I felt 100% confident leaving them with her. They were free to have full reign of the home as if they lived there. They also had a nice big back yard to explore if they wanted. She gave them extra perks like watermelon on a hot day (we talked in advance about treats) and a cooling mat to lie on. Don’t look any further! You’ve found a gem 💎”
“Stephany did a phenomenal job keeping our French Bulldog. She communicated throughout the day with pictures! She genuinely loves what she does. Highly recommend her. She has heart of gold.”
“Merve was absolutely wonderful with our dog — hands down the best experience we’ve had with a sitter. She was always prompt with her communications, took the time to understand all the unique things our dog needs for care, and was super warm and caring for our dog. Plus, she consistently proactively provided picture and video updates so we knew all was good. Would highly recommend Merve!”
“Nicholas was so awesome with my skittish girl. She takes a while to warm up to people but he didn’t give up and gained her trust quickly on our weekend away. He shared so many photos and videos to keep our minds at ease. Great sitter!!!!”
“Viktoryia was flexible and accommodating with our tight travel schedule and kept us updated with plenty of photos while we were away. Finn looked happy and well cared for. Thank you!”
“Marley was amazing with our little sweet Rosie. She was very gentle with the needs of her separation anxiety. Marley took care of all her needs and was very patient and gentle with Rosie’s nervousness. Would definitely use Marley again and highly recommend her!”
“Wonderful family and took great care of our golden retriever Oliver. Loved getting updates and pictures while we were away. They treated him just like family! Will definitely use them again on our next trip! Thank you!”
“Thank you so much Kari & Eric!! They took great care of our pup Nellie while we were on vacation. Plus she had so much fun with their dog Daisy. Really appreciate your help! It’s so wonderful to have you close by as a reliable sitter. We’ll be reaching out soon to schedule her next stay :) -Sarah & Devon”

“My dog Chip just had his second stay with James. He immediately got excited when we arrived and was excited to go inside. That’s all the reassurance I needed. My pup is happy arriving and upon pick up. Thanks for caring for my sweet boy!”
“Linda was a terrific nanny for Oscar! She responded very quickly to my request, had a prompt and positive meet and greet… and was kind and caring during Oscar’s stay. We received numerous pictures of his “making himself at home” and a happy reunion after 12 days. Highly recommended!”
“Deborah did a fantastic job! She communicated to advise if all was going well. Was very professional and in my opinion, is an expert in dog sitting. She has several dogs and is well equipped to manage a dog. Was pleasantly surprised how easy the process was and how my Lola enjoyed the stay. Great experience and will definitely use her service again!!”

“Kathy has dropped in multiple times this summer, and we are so pleased. Reliable, trustworthy and punctual. As a frequently traveling family, we highly recommend Kathy!”
“Kim was perfect taking care of my two cats for a week. I trust her completely and will ask for her services the next time I go away. When I got home I expected my cats to be waiting for me at the door like they usually do when they hear me, but they were so relaxed I had to go find them and wake them up to say hello. She sent me photos or video of them every day which was great. They like Kim a lot too!!!”

Along with dogs I have provided care for other animals such as: Cats, Fish, and Horses of various shapes and sizes. LGBTQIA friendly 💖🏳️🌈 I am currently a Freelance Character Designer and Illustrator, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Let me know what's up and I'll probably be down. I care for your pets as if they were my own. Your pets wellbeing and comfort is a top priority!

About: I’ve lived with and loved cats for as long as I can remember! Having owned and cared for many cats over the years, I understand that every feline has a unique personality—from the 'social butterfly' who needs constant chin scratches to the 'shy wallflower' who needs plenty of space and a gentle touch. I’ll treat your cat like royalty and send you plenty of photo updates so you can see exactly how they’re ruling the roost while you're gone!
“Ying took great care of Gabrielle and of our house. Several days she kept Gabrielle company a little longer than the agreed hour. Ying very thoroughly sent pictures to show us how Gabrielle was eating and doing her business. We recommend Ying for taking care of your cat while you are away.”
About: Welcome to my home-based dog boarding experience, where your pup becomes part of the family! I can offer a huge fenced-in yard perfect for safe play, exercise, and outdoor fun. Overnight boarding is available for potty-trained pets, and dog walking can be included as part of their stay. I'm experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs, and I strive to provide loving, individualized care for every guest. Solitary boarding accommodations are also available upon request for pets who do best in their own space (additional fee may apply). Because my home includes elementary-age children, all pets must be child-friendly. Your dog will be cared for by me and Melody — our lovable, mischievous 1-year-old rescue pup! Pet care is naturally built into our daily routine because animals are a big part of my home and family life. There is always plenty of love, attention, and activity to go around. Dogs in my care enjoy regular outdoor time in our large, fenced yard, walks, playtime, feeding schedules tailored to their needs, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Because I attend to other responsibilities during the day, I ask that your pet is crate or kennel comfortable to ensure their safety while we are away. Pets staying in my home are treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of supervised outdoor play in our large fenced yard, walks, playtime, feeding schedules based on your pet’s routine, and lots of affection and companionship throughout the day.

“Nicholas was communicative, and was available to help care for our fur baby in a last minute, emergency scenario. He was flexible with pick up/drop off times, and he went the extra mile and helped get our fur baby into a crate when he didn’t want to. Very thankful for his help during a challenging time.”
“Great sitter!! Pleasant. Communicative and personable. Very flexible with her schedule. Always checking in and checking out! — sent a lot of pictures. Highly recommended. Will use her again!”

“This was my first time booking with Stephanie. I am visiting from out of town. She kept my 2 Cavaliers for the day and all went very well. She sent me pics of my babies throughout the day. They got outside time in the big fenced back yard and they were happy and healthy when I picked them up. I was very satisfied and will book again.”
“Nicholas is our new favorite sitter! His relaxing easy going personality is a perfect fit for our two pups. I tell them on the way there that they are going to spend the day AT THE GREAT BIG YARD! So much room for activities! So many sniffs and smells and sights and yard to check out. Then, especially since it's summer, plenty of snoozing on the couch or cool tiles. Nicholas has been agreeable with some time changes and is super responsive when I have a question. We're new to Rover and will likely not look any further for a sitter now that we've found Nicholas and The Great Big Yard! Thank you, Nicholas!”
“I cannot say enough about my experience with Beth and her husband and their home, little dog and cats. I felt so at ease around their kindness. The best part is that my dog was more vibrant and playful after two days with them. They were keen to follow instructions and just be a loving presence for Zushi. That’s what we needed most! I will be booking with them again. And highly recommend them.”

About: Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, and bunnies, caretaking has always been second nature to me. As a former teacher, I am now leaning fully into my true passion, and bringing comfort and happiness to pets gives me so much genuine joy. Whether your family member is a high-energy pup, an independent cat, or a gentle senior who needs a patient touch and daily medication, I treat them with the exact same structure, love, and respect I would give my own. I can't wait to keep your furry best friends safe, happy, and thoroughly spoiled while you're away! Because my other part-time commitments total only 6 hours a week, my schedule is incredibly flexible, leaving me with plenty of open time to focus entirely on caring for your pets! Here is exactly when I am briefly away each week: Weekday Evenings (2 total): At a gym, I coach a few adult workout classes in the evenings. Sunday Mornings: I teach Sunday school to preschoolers for a brief session. Outside of these short windows, my days are completely open. This minimal schedule allows me to offer highly attentive, consistent care, adapt easily to your pet's normal routine, and provide plenty of companionship throughout the day! Whether welcoming a pet into my home or staying at yours, safety and clear structure are my top priorities. My home is a pet loving environment shared with my friendly dog and two cats. To ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable, I utilize sturdy pet gates to easily separate animals for quiet time or feeding, and I am more than happy to accommodate crating upon request. Because my part-time jobs take up only 6 hours a week, pets in my care receive constant supervision and a highly consistent routine. As a former educator, I am meticulous about following your exact instructions, maintaining strict safety boundaries, and keeping you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your furry family members are safe, respected, and thoroughly loved.

“Wonderful family and took great care of our golden retriever Oliver. Loved getting updates and pictures while we were away. They treated him just like family! Will definitely use them again on our next trip! Thank you!”
“Thank you so much Kari & Eric!! They took great care of our pup Nellie while we were on vacation. Plus she had so much fun with their dog Daisy. Really appreciate your help! It’s so wonderful to have you close by as a reliable sitter. We’ll be reaching out soon to schedule her next stay :) -Sarah & Devon”
“Deborah did a fantastic job! She communicated to advise if all was going well. Was very professional and in my opinion, is an expert in dog sitting. She has several dogs and is well equipped to manage a dog. Was pleasantly surprised how easy the process was and how my Lola enjoyed the stay. Great experience and will definitely use her service again!!”
About: Welcome to my home-based dog boarding experience, where your pup becomes part of the family! I can offer a huge fenced-in yard perfect for safe play, exercise, and outdoor fun. Overnight boarding is available for potty-trained pets, and dog walking can be included as part of their stay. I'm experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs, and I strive to provide loving, individualized care for every guest. Solitary boarding accommodations are also available upon request for pets who do best in their own space (additional fee may apply). Because my home includes elementary-age children, all pets must be child-friendly. Your dog will be cared for by me and Melody — our lovable, mischievous 1-year-old rescue pup! Pet care is naturally built into our daily routine because animals are a big part of my home and family life. There is always plenty of love, attention, and activity to go around. Dogs in my care enjoy regular outdoor time in our large, fenced yard, walks, playtime, feeding schedules tailored to their needs, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Because I attend to other responsibilities during the day, I ask that your pet is crate or kennel comfortable to ensure their safety while we are away. Pets staying in my home are treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of supervised outdoor play in our large fenced yard, walks, playtime, feeding schedules based on your pet’s routine, and lots of affection and companionship throughout the day.
“Sierra is excellent. She's professional and accommodating. She loves animals and will take great care of your pet. We highly recommend her and would definitely use her again in the future!”
“I'm so happy we found Antoinette to take care of our pup. She sent photos and videos to let us know everything was going well. She's quick to respond and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her. We've already booked another stay!”
“Alyssa was a great and quick communicator. She helped with my dog's medications, which were a few of them. It sounded like Klyo had a great time and had a chance to interact with other dogs for a change. Will definitely use again when needed.”
“Pamela is the best sitter we could ask for. Every time we go on vacation, Nico gets one too. He’s always so relaxed and happy being with Pamela and her family , you can tell he’s genuinely loved and cared for, not just watched. We never worry when he’s with her, which as dog parents is honestly the biggest gift. Can’t recommend her highly enough. Nico (and we!) are always so excited for his next stay with her.”
About: DOODLES ONLY PLEASE. I work from home. Had an Auzzie Doodle who lived over 15+ years and passed a year ago (in the profile picture). Dog friendly house - fenced in back yard. Primarily open to watch any kind of ...doodle. Doing it because I miss my old boy and have the time since I work from home. You and your doodle (and me) will be very happy. I'm available as I work from home and have always had a dog so I know how to bond quickly with them so they feel safe in my home. Like they were my own. Very calm environment. No other animals, no children. Just me and your dog. Nice neighborhood for long walks as needed.
“If I could give Morgan 10 stars, I would. We had holiday travel that had us away for 10 days. We found Morgan as an alternative to your standard pet resort. We knew we wanted the one on one experience for our yellow lab. Morgan provided that and then some. She goes above and beyond to make sure all the animals in her care feel like they’re at home. With daily photos and updates, we felt like we were right there in the action! This was our first visit with Morgan but most certainly won’t be our last!”
“Mylena is amazing! My dog Tessa has never been around children and let her know I was worried about that and she put me at ease the morning of drop off. This was my first time putting my animal in boarding before. Mylena texted me EVERY day with pics and updates. My heart broke leaving her for 2 weeks, but I knew she was in great hands. I will ALWAYS go back when I need a pet sitter. Thank youuuuu so much for making my girl feel right at home. Highly recommend!!!!!!!”
“Asya and her family did such an outstanding job taking care of my pups. She sent so many great pics and videos and I was so amazed at how my dogs were so integrated into her family. It is clear they were very well cared for. Definitely will use her again!”
“Our Yorkie Jack had a great 1st Visit with Charlotte. We received daily pictures and updates and when we returned he looked very happy and well cared for. Will use her again for sure.”
“Lucca our 11-year old cavalier has never had a pet sitter that wasn’t immediate family. Kelli offered to meet before our vacation and we were comfortable from then on. She asked extensive questions about his care & handled his somewhat complicated medication and food schedule like a pro. So happy to have found Kelli. She is very trustworthy and gave excellent updates every day. Lucca was so loved while we were gone & his transition back home after 5 days was seamless. I will be contacting her soon to help again. :)”
