“We loved leaving our dog with Morgan! She sent daily updates with pictures and made sure he had a lot of playtime outside and in the pool 😊 will definitely bring him back!”
“Marcela is the best hands down. My dog gets excited to her when we pull in driveway. She takes great care of my dog Charlie and he loves her. Never worry while I’m gone because she sends pictures and videos everyday!”
“Jewell is a true jewel!! My nervous pup flourished with her and her sweet pups. My dog is a singlet and isn’t around dogs a lot !Jewell’s pups welcomed her into their home and became great friends with my pup. I appreciate the socialization she received while staying with Jewell. We will be using her again. She is amazing, her home setup is perfect. Jewell is fantastic for nervous dogs. Highly recommended!”
“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!”
“Lori and Jim has been an absolute gem when it comes to taking care of my fur baby! From the initial meet-and-greet, it was clear that they genuinely love animals and know how to care for them. They were punctual, communicative, and sent daily updates with photos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. My pet adored them- Zoey looked so happy and relaxed when I went to pick her up. Highly recommend Lori & Jim to anyone for a reliable and loving care for their pets!”
“Linda and Brian have the sweetest dog and my dog just loved them all. He normally is very anxious but he even fell asleep beside Brian and his cute new friend Carmi! I would highly recommend this place!”
“She sent lots of pictures and was very accommodating with sh l schedule for pick up and drop off, as well as a meetup to make sure the dogs got along with her dogs. Plenty of space for the dogs to run around and play outside including a nice shaded area with a koi pond. Thank you for taking care of our dogs while we were away for the weekend.”
“I’m so grateful for the amazing care Marley gave to my dogs, Wiley and Coco. From the start, it was clear she truly loves animals and knows how to care for them with kindness and attention to detail. She sent me regular updates with photos, which made me feel totally at ease while I was away. Coco can be pretty high-energy, but Marley handled both dogs with ease. They were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for when I got back—and the house was spotless, too! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Marley to anyone looking for a dependable, loving dog sitter. She went above and beyond, and I’ll definitely reach out to her again next time I travel. — Shannon Doell 🐶”
“a much longer away from home than usual, 2 weeks. but Thelma came through again and kept Layla safe and HAPPY. great communication while we were on the road. highly recommend ....”
“Jennifer provided excellent care of our dogs while we left the area for some vaca! The excellent care included things like instilling eye ointment to our shih tzu, providing us with updates and even sending us videos of their day. Would definitely recommend her when needing your fur babies left in exceptional hands which reduces your stress while on your retreat or staycation.”
“Though it was the first time our pups stayed with Tara&Justin and we went on a pretty lengthy trip, Tara made the experience so comfortable! With almost daily pictures and updates our minds were put at ease. They cared for our pups like their own and I know both dogs cant wait for the next time they’ll be staying with Tara&her family again. Couldn't have asked for a better experience after being reunited with our two very happy and cared for pups!”
“Eddy had the best time with Viktoryia and her family! I received daily updates and pictures of Eddy which was awesome! I will definitely be booking with Viktoryia again when we travel!”
“Dana accepted our request within a week of the stay, so we were so thankful she could fit us in last minute. Our cat is very nervous around new people and hides the first couple days but Dana let us know that she came out to eat and sit near her which doesn’t happen everytime. We felt a good energy the moment we met Dana and felt comfortable leaving our baby there with her. She sent us photos and words each day of the stay, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out again if needed. Thank you so much Dana!!!!”
“I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with them over the holidays. I received great communication and beautiful pictures. I was able to enjoy my holiday knowing he was in good hands. I highly recommend!”
“This was Buddy's first visit with Monica. Went extremely well. Monica's communications were excellent with daily pictures provided. We plan to request Monica for future visits.”
“Floyd and his wife did an absolutely wonderful job caring for our Rosy. They provided daily updates and pictures which were so appreciated. Their home is clean and has a great fenced in yard. Rosy seemed so happy there and may have been happy to stay there forever ? Highly recommend!”

About: I have been working with pets since 2023! I have done everything from walking dogs at the Humane Society to pet sitting to working at my current job which is a Pet boarding facility! I love animals and am so excited to get to know your pets!
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life. I love all animals but dogs are my passion. I am a professional dog groomer and I have trained many dogs. Im currently working part time so I have plenty of free time throughout the day and night to spend with your pups!! Im also free the entire weekend! I have a fenced in yard and a 1 year old doodle myself that loves to play. I let the dogs free roam throughout the house.
“Jill is awesome!!! She took great care of our sweet pets while we were away. She kept us informed and is very reliable! Already have her rebooked for two more trips! 5 stars all the way!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I was active in 4h and FFA, have taken care of many animals from small to large. I have 4 dogs. Love them so much❤️ I am a college student, but I do online, so during the weeks days, and some weekends works for me. I am usually free later in the day. However if you need all day I can also do that too. I can’t bring pets to my house due to all of the animals we have, however I can watch them at your own home , I can come over as many times as needed
“Channing did a great job of taking care of our cat for 3 weeks. She was very easy to communicate with if we had questions. When we returned, the room where we keep the cat bowls and litter box was very clean! 🥰”
“We can leave our cat Charlie knowing he will receive great care from Alana. She is responsible, always shows up on time and stays and plays with Charlie. She administers medication and is responsive to my concerns. We couldn’t get back due to the hurricane, no worries, Alana just extended her time caring for Charlie . Charlie is a shy cat and is reticent of people outside our family. Alana has built up trust and can easily pet and play with Charlie. A five star rating doesn’t cover her passion or dedication!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine life without them! I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities — from playful puppies to calm seniors. Over the years, I’ve watched many dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, and they always know they can count on me. I’m reliable, patient, and make sure every pup feels loved, safe, and happy while their owner is away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles, I treat every dog like my own. 🐾 I’m a full-time hairdresser, but my schedule is flexible and I’m happy to work around it to fit your pet’s needs! I often have mornings available and weekends! If you reach out with your dates or times, I’ll do my best to make it work. I always make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, walks, and care during our time together! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first with me. I take the time to get to know each dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel secure and cared for. I follow all instructions carefully, from feeding and medications to walk routes and playtime rules. You can always count on regular updates and photos while you’re away, so you know your pup is happy and safe. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they’re in a calm, loving environment at all times. 🐶💛
About: Your dog will be given lots of attention and love. I treat all dogs as a part of the family, like "furry children." I find that dogs tend to feel most comfortable in their home environment with a caring human to keep them company. Feed, water, walk, exercise time, play time, medication as needed, and companionship time are included. Feel free to contact me to discuss you and your furry friend's needs while you're gone. I've had dogs of my own my whole life, and I love them just like family. My experience administering medication Yes, very comfortable.
About: I have experience in taking care of the smallest of critters to large beasts. I grew up on multiple acres and had the chance to take care of cats, dogs, horses, chickens, everything and anything. I am a kind soul who will do anything I can for any furry guests. I have watched dogs and cats all over the states. I watch them in my home and also don't mind being mobile if needed. I am currently working from home. I am able to take care of animals needs throughout the day or night. I am able to engage all hours of the day. I am on an .50 acre. I have a very large front yard. That includes some grass and some shell. I am a street away from the celery fields.` I am open to having animals in my house and traveling to others if needed.
“Filip was a great cat/house sitter!!! We came home to our cat not being that excited to see us, which means he had a good week and got lots of love while we were gone <3. We really appreciate Filip's willingness to watch our cat at the last minute, it saved our vacation! We will definitely be booking Filip again.”
About: I have volunteered with animals since I was 10 years old. I have been a cat owner for the past 6 years. I am familiar with medicating difficult kitties. I give my cat allergy medication daily. I have also administered antibiotics and anti anxiety medication. I love animals and I do all that I can to make the miss you a little less while you are away!
“Christine was awesome! She always came around the same time, which and important because our cats liked their daily treat at a certain time, did all the things we asked of her and spent time with our cats. We are so appreciative of her visits and felt confident with her caring for our cats. Will definitely utilize her service again in the future!”
About: Having Lake Champlain in my back yard is a huge advantage on these hot summer days! If your dog doesn`t like to swim, we can play catch in the fenced-in yard while enjoying the lake`s breeze. Living on a private, dead end road helps provide a great dog-walking environment. Having a pup of my own who is extremely dog-friendly, gives your dog a playmate to accompany their exercise if wanted. Living just outside of Burlington allows access to many walking paths such as; the bike paths, waterfront, airport park, and the causeway. These locations are more social and get dogs out of their everyday environment to make for a more enjoyable experience. Don`t want anything fancy? Coming to your home is just as fine with me! My open schedule allows me to be flexible, so let me know how I can help you best!

“My pups had an awesome day on the ranch with Morgan! She returned my inquiry text within minutes and set up a meet and greet. She was very thorough with her questions about my dogs and their habits, preferences and rules. She asks about your dogs' play style, if your dog is allowed on furniture, are they allowed to dig, are they allowed to have sticks and treats. My dogs have essentially no rules, but that was fine too! She was sweet and friendly and also professional and knowledgeable. I was very confident leaving my dogs with Morgan for a day of daycare while our usual sitter was out of town. She was flexible with my early morning drop off and flexible with pick up since I didn't know what time exactly I would be done with work. Most importantly, my dogs had a great long day with new friends! They spent time inside (snoozing on the couch in the AC) and outside very long leads so they could sniff and explore. The pups said they had a great day and can't wait to come back! We'll definitely be back when we need a backup and possibly for boarding. Thank you Morgan!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets of all kinds. I take pride in being a responsible, dependable sitter who treats every pet like family. As a local resident and mom to a sweet 4-year-old daughter who also adores animals, our home is full of love, care, and gentle energy. I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are in safe, capable hands, and I always go the extra mile to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime in the afternoon, or evening cuddles, I always make time for animals throughout the day. My daughter and I love spending time with pets, so caring for them fits seamlessly into our family’s rhythm. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, administering basic care, and giving plenty of attention and love. Because I work locally and have a flexible schedule, I’m able to devote consistent time and energy to each pet I watch, making sure their needs are always met and they feel safe and happy. In my home, pets enjoy plenty of space to play and relax — I have a large home and a fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time. I keep to each pet’s usual routine with regular walks, feeding, and lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. No matter where I’m watching them, I treat every pet like part of the family.
“Beth was a wonderful host for Teddy. He can be very anxious on his first visit, but Beth obviously knew how to handle him and make him calm. She opened her home and sent a picture as they sat together. He was so relaxed on the ride home, I could tell he enjoyed the day with Beth and Snickers! Thanks Beth for going the extra mile!”
About: Hi, I’m Kaitlin! I will take care of your furry baby as if they are my own. I am a Nurse-Practitioner student who has a strong passion for animals. My healthcare background ensures attentive service for your pets. I have years of dog and cat sitting experience. I provide dog walking, day drop-ins, and personalized care to keep your furry companions safe. I am in graduate school with a flexible rotating schedule. Please let me know your needs and I can do my best to accommodate you and your furry friends. As a nurse with high acuity medical experience, I’ll respect your home and pet’s needs when walking or feeding your pet. I will follow instructions, leash your pet safely, provide water, food, or treats as needed, and ensure your space is left tidy. Your furry baby will be attentively cared for.
About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and a veterinary technician at BluePearl Pet Hospital. Caring for animals is both my career and my passion, so your pet will be in experienced and loving hands. I have two dogs of my own. Toby is my sweet 9-year-old basset mix who is a tripod. He’s the king of belly rubs and spends most of his day happily napping. Luna is my 4-year-old doodle who has the opposite personality—she loves to play, run around, and dig in the backyard. Both dogs are very friendly and used to being around other animals. I do have children in my house - two boys. They will not be assisting with care but they do love animals and will be happy to give snuggles and pets! Because of my veterinary background, I’m comfortable caring for pets with medical needs. I can administer medications, including eye drops, insulin injections, fluids, and can check blood glucose levels when needed. I’m happy to help with pets who need a little extra care. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re here—just like part of the family. A big perk of staying with me is while I can still an active veterinary technician at Blue Pearl pet hospital, my husband is always home if I am not. Your pet will never be left alone more than an hour for a quick errand. I only work two days shifts a week, so I’m around quite often. Because of our work schedules, your pet will rarely be left alone. I only work four days a week, and my husband works from home, so there is almost always someone at the house to let the dogs out, feed them, and check on them throughout the day. Your pet will get lots of attention, supervision, and frequent potty breaks. I also know how important updates are when you’re away from your pet, so I make sure to send regular photos and updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel comfortable while they’re staying with us. We live on a quiet street with a fully fenced-in backyard, giving dogs plenty of safe space to run, explore, and play. It’s a calm, pet-friendly environment where dogs can relax and enjoy time outside. 🐾
About: Hi! We’re Jeff and Steph. I work from home full-time, and Steph is a teacher with summers and holidays off, so your dog will get plenty of attention and care. We provide a calm, structured home environment and tend to do best with hypoallergenic or low-shedding dogs. We’ve had dogs for years and are very comfortable managing multiple dogs in a home setting. We currently have two doodles, Rudy and Carolina, and are used to reading dog behavior, introducing dogs slowly, and keeping a calm, structured environment. We focus on routines, supervision, and making sure all dogs feel safe and comfortable during their stay. We’ve also hosted dogs for friends and family and understand how important it is for owners to feel confident leaving their dog in a safe, reliable home. Pet care fits very naturally into our weekly routine. I work from home full-time, so I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and a calm, structured environment throughout the day. Steph is a teacher and has summers and holidays off, which gives us even more flexibility and coverage during busy travel times. Between the two of us, dogs are rarely left alone and are part of a steady, predictable routine that helps them feel comfortable and at ease. We provide a calm, safe, and structured home environment. I work from home, so dogs receive consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and attention throughout the day. We have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and all dogs are introduced slowly to ensure everyone is comfortable. We only take a small number of dogs at a time to keep things low-stress and manageable. We follow each owner’s routine as closely as possible to help their dog feel at home.
“Amy and her daughters were so great with our energetic puppy!! She got all her energy out in the few hours they were together. They went to the dog park, and let our puppy go to town in their pool (which is her happy place)!! Will 200% be scheduling a bunch more play dates!”
About: My wife and I have had dogs since we were kids and treat them just like any member of the family. We believe dogs were made to be cuddled and spoiled as much as possible :) My wife and I both work from home and our jobs are extremely flexible. We have lots of time to play and let your puppy outside to use the restroom and chase butterflies. We can crate your puppy if you want, but our preferred choice is to give your puppy the freedom to roam the house and hang with us on the couch. We have a great fenced in yard that will ensure your dog is safe when going outside to use the restroom.
“So grateful to have had our Milo stay in her house. Communication was excellent, and her home—with its backyard—is very cozy. I 100% recommend Yeini for taking care of your pet! Agradecido por recibir a nuestro Milo. Comunicación muy buena y su casa, con patio, muy acogedora. Recomiendo 100% a Yeini por el cuidado de tu mascota.”
“I have a very nervous little dachshund; Kelli went above and beyond to make him feel safe and secure. Communications were great, too! Will definitely book again with Kelli.”
“Larissa is so gentle and kind with my puppy and she was very responsible with my high energy furr-baby. I'm so glad I found her and I would definitely recommend her for reliable and compassionate dog care.”
About: I was raised in a home where my mom started her pet grooming and boarding business, until it expanded to a separate building. So pets were just part of our family and daily routine! Pets bring me so much joy and love, I would love to share that with yours! I work from home, on my own time, and this is also my first year homeschooling my 2 girls! So I am very flexible and can accommodate to what ever schedule needed! I am open to what is needed! An afternoon stroll, afternoon play time, play dates, overnights, or just snuggles! Any animal time will fill my heart! My rescue cat is truly a blessing and is the kindest, most fun boy. He loves to play with balls & stuffed animals, but also loves to snuggle. I do have a screened in front porch that allows playtime in the fresh air with keeping him safe, so he loves that too (he is missing a back paw so we limit free range time outdoors to his benefit). He is part of the family and is treated like one of us!
“Taylor did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Hattie. She sent pictures of her periodically during playtime and walks. I would highly recommend her for doggy daycare!”
About: I am happy to provide a cozy and fun spot for your pup to hang out. My Pit mix and I spend a lot of our time in the garden, pool cage, or acre yard. My Pitty is very friendly, she has been purposefully and extensively socialized so that we can do this work together. The atmosphere here is serene and I’d love to share that with more pups in my neighborhood! Currently I work part-time from home and I’m hoping to supplement some lost income with something I enjoy. That will benefit my pup and my neighbors pups! Since I work from home I can offer my services any day of the week for boarding or sitting. I cannot help but empathize with animals. I love making dogs happy, they are such pure souls. While I make a point to set appropriate boundaries and keep an eye on everybody, I believe in leading with kindness. If you choose to have me stay at your home I am happy to do some cleaning or light chores for you while I am there.
“Teddy played all day with Leslie. She sent many pictures and videos for updates. She checked off the list of Teddy's needs and followed up on all of them. We could tell that she was totally dedicated to Teddy for the entire day! Teddy transitioned home perfectly. Thank You, Leslie!”

Sydney is our little girl and has some Dachshund and Bo is more Irish Terrier with some Wheaton. They are 4 years old. Our pictures show some of our past, beloved pets. We have had 7 dogs prior to our sibling dogs and two miniature horses. I have a fenced backyard, a secured pool with a shallow entry and live in a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks. I can walk here or come to you. I walk every day my dogs every day for approximately two miles. We do a mix of well paced walking and significant "sniffing" time. Sniffing is good for dog cardio. We have a fenced yard and a pool with a shallow level for smaller dogs that might like to get their feet wet. Treats are well planned and on the small side. And we have toys! In your home I will abide by your instructions.
About: I’m a lifelong Floridian with a big heart for dogs. I’ve raised my own two pups, Shiloh and Zeus, and have also helped raise and regularly care for friends’ dogs over the years. Watching them grow up has brought me so much joy. When I’m not caring for pups, you’ll find me spending time with my family, baking in my kitchen, or traveling with my dogs. On weekends, I love making fresh homemade dog treats for my pups—and for the neighborhood dogs too. Nothing makes me happier than creating yummy goodies for the pups who have become part of our extended family, including our newest friend, Teddy, who lives right next door. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I can’t wait to welcome your pup into our little pack🏡🐾 Our daily schedule is balanced, structured, and full of love. We start each morning with gentle wake-ups, lots of affection, and individual potty breaks. After breakfast, we head out for a morning walk followed by playtime—Shiloh loves tug-of-war and is always ready to share his toys. Midday is our calm, restful period where Zeus enjoys his cozy naps with soft music in the background, and visiting pups can relax or enjoy quiet companionship. In the afternoon, we offer light play, enrichment, or short outings, and sometimes a special treat like a homemade snack or a pup cup. Evenings are peaceful with backyard time, movies, and cuddles before settling into each dog’s normal nighttime routine. Your pup’s usual schedule will always be respected so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured, and loving home where every pup is treated with the same care and attention I give to my own dogs, Shiloh and Zeus. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment, follow your dog’s routine closely, and always supervise playtime to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable. I believe in building trust through clear communication, consistency, and respect for each dog’s individual needs. Whether your pup is relaxing, playing, or settling in for the night, you can have complete peace of mind knowing they’re safe, supported, and truly cared for.

“We were visiting family in Sarasota and last minute needed a dog walker for the day. Christine was available the night before and walked our dog twice for us while we were gone all day. She sent us photos of both walks which was great. Highly recommend and will use her again if we are back in Sarasota with our dog!”
About: I have a 11 year old Aussiedoodle who is full of energy, character, and bouncy. We both like to stay active whether that is going for a run or long walk, attend local events, explore new areas, play with toys, continuous enrichment and training. I would like to offer my time to care for dogs when their owners are away on vacation or just need someone to check in on their fur baby. When you leave your fur baby with me he or she will be in the best care and treated as if they were my own. I work remote Monday to Friday with a flexible schedule that I can rearrange or drop in your home between meetings while caring for your dog. I will text you upon arrival and text you upon departure as I am strictly in your home for your dog’s needs, play time, feeding, and walking. I will send you pictures throughout the day and/or when I drop in.
About: Animals aren’t just pets to me. They are individuals with emotions, personalities, and needs that deserve to be understood and respected. You can feel completely at ease knowing their happiness, comfort, and safety are always my top priority. As an animal rights advocate, I approach every animal with genuine compassion and awareness, tailoring my care to who they are, not just what they need on paper. Whether they are energetic, shy, playful, or sensitive, I meet them where they are and give them the attention and love that helps them feel truly safe and seen. You can trust that I will show up consistently, follow routines closely, and create a calm, caring environment while you are away. I do not just watch animals. I connect with them, care for them, and treat them like they matter, because they do. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I structure my schedule to allow consistent time for walks, feeding, check-ins, and companionship. I generally maintain a flexible routine, which allows me to adjust based on each pet’s needs and the specific care plan we agree on. I’m intentional about not overbooking so I can stay attentive and responsive while pets are in my care. My availability can vary slightly week to week, but I prioritize clear communication and planning in advance to ensure expectations are aligned and your pet’s routine is supported as closely as possible. I aim to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment based on each pet’s routine and personality. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I follow your instructions closely while staying attentive to how your pet is feeling. In your home, I keep things consistent with their normal schedule so they feel secure. In my home, I maintain a clean, low-stress space with close supervision and attention to safety and care. I stay mindful during walks and interactions and avoid anything that could feel overwhelming or risky. I also provide regular updates with photos and check in if anything seems off so we can decide what’s best together. I do not have pets of my own, but there are pets in the home belonging to my roommates. They are well-managed, and I take care to ensure safe, controlled interactions. I can also keep pets fully separated at all times if preferred
About: I have taken care of pets personally since I was 10 years old. I currently have a cat that I personally medicate daily. My experience watching pets spans from house sitting large dogs to cats. I can walk, feed, and medicate both cats and dogs. Additionally, I have volunteered at both cat and dog shelters throughout my life. I have extensive experience with animals. I make it a point to care for pets as if there owners never left making them feel comfortable and cared for. I do work full time outside of rover which requires me to be gone for working hours. On weekdays I am away no more than 8 hours and on weekends I try to be gone less than 4 hour increments. I dog sit because I love animals. Please contact me if you are okay with these restrictions. Currently I am working during the week but have availability over the weekends and Thursdays! I am flexible depending on how far the location is from my home and job! It is important to keep pets environment clean and safe, so I always make it a point to keep things tidy. I ensure that the home will look exactly like the owner has left it and that their pet is well cared for. In the event of accidents, I have no problem cleaning up the mess and bathing the animal if necessary. Please just leave instructions on how you would like the cleaning and bathing handled!

“We loved leaving our dog with Morgan! She sent daily updates with pictures and made sure he had a lot of playtime outside and in the pool 😊 will definitely bring him back!”
“Marcela is the best hands down. My dog gets excited to her when we pull in driveway. She takes great care of my dog Charlie and he loves her. Never worry while I’m gone because she sends pictures and videos everyday!”
“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!”
“Lori and Jim has been an absolute gem when it comes to taking care of my fur baby! From the initial meet-and-greet, it was clear that they genuinely love animals and know how to care for them. They were punctual, communicative, and sent daily updates with photos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. My pet adored them- Zoey looked so happy and relaxed when I went to pick her up. Highly recommend Lori & Jim to anyone for a reliable and loving care for their pets!”
“Jennifer provided excellent care of our dogs while we left the area for some vaca! The excellent care included things like instilling eye ointment to our shih tzu, providing us with updates and even sending us videos of their day. Would definitely recommend her when needing your fur babies left in exceptional hands which reduces your stress while on your retreat or staycation.”
“Though it was the first time our pups stayed with Tara&Justin and we went on a pretty lengthy trip, Tara made the experience so comfortable! With almost daily pictures and updates our minds were put at ease. They cared for our pups like their own and I know both dogs cant wait for the next time they’ll be staying with Tara&her family again. Couldn't have asked for a better experience after being reunited with our two very happy and cared for pups!”
“Dana accepted our request within a week of the stay, so we were so thankful she could fit us in last minute. Our cat is very nervous around new people and hides the first couple days but Dana let us know that she came out to eat and sit near her which doesn’t happen everytime. We felt a good energy the moment we met Dana and felt comfortable leaving our baby there with her. She sent us photos and words each day of the stay, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out again if needed. Thank you so much Dana!!!!”
“I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with them over the holidays. I received great communication and beautiful pictures. I was able to enjoy my holiday knowing he was in good hands. I highly recommend!”
“This was Buddy's first visit with Monica. Went extremely well. Monica's communications were excellent with daily pictures provided. We plan to request Monica for future visits.”
“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!!!!!!!”
“Our 2 dogs did very well at their first overnight stay with Donna. Great fenced in yard and lovely folks to care for our 2 very spoiled girls. We will go back again for sure.”
“Kimber is a dog lover through and through. She communicated with us daily sending pics and videos of our dog during our trip.. She was quick in responding to our questions and as easy to book with. Our dog had plenty of dog friends to play with while there, as well as a cozy spot on her couch to lounge in. When we were delayed picking up our dog she was very accommodating. We would definitely use her again.”
“Excellent! Brittany and her family were great! I was really happy and comfortable leaving my pup in her care. Communication was easy and flexible. I loved receiving daily updates and photos. Would recommend and will book again. Thank you!”
“My pup’s tail wagged with excitement when she recognized she was at Lana’s! Knowing that she was getting lots of snuggles and in a safe and comfortable home while we were away made leaving her for seven days a whole lots easier. She loves having the company of other dogs too! Ty”
About: Hi! We’re Jeff and Steph. I work from home full-time, and Steph is a teacher with summers and holidays off, so your dog will get plenty of attention and care. We provide a calm, structured home environment and tend to do best with hypoallergenic or low-shedding dogs. We’ve had dogs for years and are very comfortable managing multiple dogs in a home setting. We currently have two doodles, Rudy and Carolina, and are used to reading dog behavior, introducing dogs slowly, and keeping a calm, structured environment. We focus on routines, supervision, and making sure all dogs feel safe and comfortable during their stay. We’ve also hosted dogs for friends and family and understand how important it is for owners to feel confident leaving their dog in a safe, reliable home. Pet care fits very naturally into our weekly routine. I work from home full-time, so I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and a calm, structured environment throughout the day. Steph is a teacher and has summers and holidays off, which gives us even more flexibility and coverage during busy travel times. Between the two of us, dogs are rarely left alone and are part of a steady, predictable routine that helps them feel comfortable and at ease. We provide a calm, safe, and structured home environment. I work from home, so dogs receive consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and attention throughout the day. We have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and all dogs are introduced slowly to ensure everyone is comfortable. We only take a small number of dogs at a time to keep things low-stress and manageable. We follow each owner’s routine as closely as possible to help their dog feel at home.
“Kathy was great, I never felt uncomfortable leaving Louis with her and Roy. The daily text photo reports were always welcome. He had a blast playing in their large fenced back yard. Highly recommended.”
“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. :)”
“There are truly no words to describe how amazing rebecca is — she’s the absolute best of the best! From day one, she’s gone above and beyond in every single way and has genuinely become part of our family. Our dog lights up the second she sees her, and that says it all. She doesn’t just care for our pup — she loves her, spoils her, and treats her like her own. The level of kindness, reliability, and heart she puts into what she does is unmatched. We never worry for a second when our dog is with her because we know she’s getting the same love and attention she gets at home — maybe even more! She sends thoughtful updates, adorable photos, and always pays attention to the little details that make such a difference. People like her are one in a million, and we feel unbelievably lucky to have found her.”
