“Lindsay took incredible care of my dog. She was very communicative and provided me frequent updates and photos. My dog didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up. Normally he goes on a hunger strike when I’m away on a trip but he felt so comfortable with Lindsay that he even ate. Will be using Lindsay again for sure!”
“Chandler was very helpful with boarding Mando. He was knowledgeable and experienced in caring for my sweet boy as well as other dogs too! I would highly recommend using him for all of your boarding and doggy daycare needs.”
“David and his wife were amazing with our girl. We did a meet with them prior to her stay and they took great care of her. Very well organized and provided daily updates. She came home with a sweet little gift from them at the end of her stay. We would highly recommend them and will definitely use them again.”
“Dona did a great job looking after our dog Willy. He isn't an easy dog to watch over. He is disabled and in a wheelchair. Dona went the extra mile to ensure that Willy was comfortable and cared for. She stayed in touch with us throughout the time she watched him. I definitely recommend her for watching your dog. Thank you so much Dona.”
“Janel & Jeff were absolutely wonderful. They are such kind people who clearly love dogs. They sent regular updates and pictures of Nyla which we really appreciated. I would 100% book them again! Thanks again!!”
“Words cannot describe the care that our pet, Georgia, got with Laura M. Laura text pictures everyday which relieved the stress of leaving Georgia. Georgia came home looking pretty from the care that Laura gave her. We highly recommend Laura M. if you need to board your pet(s). We will now schedule some time away since we have Laura M. to take care of Georgia. Schedule now with Laura M. and you will not be disappointed with the care. Laura is top notch with care and know how to care for your pets. Laura M's home and yard are spacious and roomy.”
“Bruno had an amazing stay with Clary! She took care of him like her own. She kept me consistently updated on how he was doing throughout his stay. We will definitely be using her for pet sitting next time. Thank you Clary!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Anne. She recently took care of my dog, Lola, and went above and beyond to make sure she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. From the start, communication was excellent — I always felt updated and reassured with pictures and messages about how Lola was doing. It was clear that Anne genuinely loves dogs. Lola immediately felt comfortable and safe, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. She got plenty of walks, playtime, and attention, and I came home to a very happy pup. I highly recommend Anne to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out again the next time I need someone to take care of Lola.”
“Christine is absolutely wonderful. She took care of my 18 year old Tuxedo cat for a week and the cat who is unfriendly to everyone really warmed up to Christine. She is kind and patient and gentle. She builds confidence with animals so they know they are safe. Christine is a great communicator and let me know everyday how my kitty was doing. I highly recommend Christine.”
“Jean and Al were very kind and took excellent care of our Goldendoodle while we were out of town. We loved getting the pics and updates as well to see how comfortable our dog was in our absence.”
“Max was extremely happy to stay again with Katherine. He is so well taken care of and looked really happy in all the pictures she sent me. I am very happy i found a sitter close by and will use them again.”
“Betsy provided great communication and sent frequent pictures with updates on my 2 dogs she cared for. She has a huge backyard that’s fenced in with lots of room to run and play. My dogs must have felt like they were on vacation. Betsy was very professional and responsive. She provided great care and we will be using her services again.”
“Nicole was really great with our pup! I’m really grateful she made him part of her family for the holidays. She was always responsive and sent us some really great photos. When she dropped off something we’d left at her home, he was so excited to see her again! We’d definitely use her again.”
About: Being a dog mom for over 10 years and a cat mom for 3 years, now being a mom to my own babies and staying home full time with the ability to open my home or help others with their fur babies is my favorite hobby. I have a beautiful golden retriever that I’ve had since she was 6 weeks so I’ve been able to be with her and learn all stages of dogs. I have a large, fenced in backyard so plenty of space to play or sun bathe for the pups. I’m currently a stay at home mom to a newborn so I now have extra time for this hobby. I love dogs and sitting them is my fun way of interacting and enjoying a new pup without getting another one of my own. Dogs have always been members of the family to me. Spending quality time with them by going on long walks with plenty time to sniff and stimulate their brains, cuddling on the couch watching movies or playing with their favorite toy.
“This was Bentley's first time in an in home boarding and Jenna could not have been more friendly, professional and accommodating. She took such good care of our baby and I got to enjoy my daughter's wedding without any worry about my fur baby. Thank you so much Jenna !!!!!”
“Joanna + family are the perfect sitters for our beloved Malcolm!! Doggie friends to play with, plenty of room, fenced backyard. He was in heaven! Joanna is professional, organized, friendly and experienced, and took our request very last minute. Extremely responsive on the text-app with info and pictures and we felt like we could really relax on our vacation. Highly Recommended! We will be back!! Thank You Joanna :)”
“Kimberly was great. She took great care of my dog and provided daily picture updates. Her own doggie Bailey was really sweet as well. I would book with her again and recommend.”

“Fantastic sitter! I had to leave my kitties home for the holiday weekend, and Andrea came to my rescue! She conducted morning and evening check ins on my kitties. She went above and beyond in ensuring my kitties were well taken care of. In addition to the responsibilities I’ve outlined (which she conducted very well), she has the perspective of a pet owner herself, so she’d text me during visits if I would also like her to trim nails, sweep the area around the litter box, etc. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your furbabies as her own, look no further than Andrea!”
“Cassie is always wonderful with my crazy scaredy cattos. Thorough, attention to detail, great communication. I am always relaxed knowing that she is looking out for them and making sure all is well. Thank you!”
“Valerie did a fantastic job checking in on my kitty, Benny. I loved receiving her updates and seeing the photos of her visits. Great and very quick communication, I will definitely be using her services again when needed. Thank you for taking such great care of Benny!”
“Was absolutely amazing with my kitty cats they fell in love with her the minute she walked through the door. She made sure the water was full, and the litter box was clean each and every time she was there. Will use her again and again.”
“Incredible job done with two indoor kitties. Absolutely professional service. Punctual, detailed, pet-lovers through and through. If we ever have to leave our babies again this would be our first call. 10/10”
About: As a dedicated cat sitter, I understand the unique needs and personalities of cats. I provide personalized, loving care, ensuring each cat feels safe, comfortable, and happy. With my reliable, attentive approach, you can trust that your feline friend is in great hands while you’re away.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and many dogs, helped care for weeks old puppies and have gained the trust of my neighbors growing up as well, Maltese's, chihuahua, British bulldog, golden retriever, German Shepard to name a few, I currently own a beautiful tabby cat myself :)
“Thank you so much Karina! Your service is so appreciated and it is so amazing to know we can go out of time and trust our baby is being checked on and in good hands! Thank you for your time and effort with your drop in visits to keep or cat happy! We couldn’t be happier with the care provided 💕!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was 9 years old and have experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities. Family and friends have always trusted me to care for their cats with patience, love, and attention to detail. From playful kittens to senior cats who need a gentler touch, I make sure each one feels comfortable and cared for. I’m experienced with feeding routines, administering medications, and keeping litter boxes fresh and clean. Every cat I look after is treated like family, with plenty of affection and understanding.
“Sarah did a great job taking care of my pups. They were happy and healthy upon pickup and she sent me photos and updates daily! By far the best dog sitter I've seen in the area!”
“Nelson and Donna were amazing! They watched my very shy cat and were still so kind and gave him all the attention. They even swept my apartment for me! I couldn’t recommend them enough.”
“Ashley was great- she took care of our two cats while we were traveling. One of them requires twice a day medicine. She did a great job, including an unexpected vet visit. I highly recommend her.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Anthony as our pet sitter. From the moment we met him, he was extremely polite, professional, and trustworthy. Our cat Betty was clearly in great hands while we were away, she was calm, healthy, and very well cared for when we returned. On top of that, everything was left clean and perfectly in order, which we truly appreciated. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing both our home and our cat were being looked after so carefully. We would highly recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and we will absolutely ask for his help again in the future.”
About: With years of hands-on experience, I provide the loving and empathetic care every cat deserves, especially those who need a little extra patience. I truly understand the dedication required for senior feline care—one of my own beloved cats lived to be 18 years old. I've also had to become an expert in managing complex health needs like diabetes, administering Insulin, and chronic/terminal illness. Whether it’s administering specialized care or simply providing a calm, comforting presence, I treat every kitty like family, ensuring they feel safe, cherished, and perfectly pampered while you’re away.
About: I love being given the opportunity to meet each and every pet individually and to develop a relationship, is priceless. We should provide the same love they give to us. We are their voices. It is easy to have fun and do activities with our fur friends. I also like to take into consideration their personalities, habits, and likes. I am here to service them. Our fur friends are just like us, they only speak a different language. Therefore its an easy, loving job to do. As a young child I recall bringing strays home and almost being put out with them, hoping maybe one day I would be able to keep one of them. I never had the heart to put them back in the streets so, I tools them to Intake shelters. It all comes natural to me. Walks, Runs and Playing Catch Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I already plan my day around responsibilities and schedules, so adding feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins feels very manageable. I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need without feeling rushed. Throughout the week, I stay organized and communicate with owners regularly, sending updates and making sure their pets are comfortable and happy. Spending time with animals is something I look forward to, so it feels like a rewarding part of my routine rather than just another task. If pets stay in my home, I maintain a calm, pet-friendly environment, keep hazardous items out of reach, supervise interactions, and follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, sleeping arrangements, and any special needs
“Morgan did such a great job taking care of my cat when I was out of town. My cat can be very skittish and Morgan did her best to make Indie feel comfortable around her. I'll definitely be hiring Morgan in the future & it feels good knowing I have someone reliable to look after my baby!”

“Thank you Lisa & Scott for taking amazing care of Lucky today while I was at work, and introducing him to your lovely dogs Smoke, Tino and Monkey. Lucky and I are very grateful. Appreciate the check in and photos. We look forward to our next booking.”
“Mai is an absolutely gem🙂 This was my first time using a pet sitter and she made the experience for both my pup and I nothing short of amazing! Right from the start my pup was calm and accepting with her and he is usually pretty vocal and active when first meeting new people. She was welcoming, reassuring and understanding all while showing lots of TLC. I really loved getting the pictures. They made me feel happy and comforted know he was adjusting well and enjoying himself. If you want someone who will care for your fur babies as you care for your fur babies Mai is the best! Thanks Mai😊”

About: I have had pets almost my entire life from dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters. I have not had reptiles of my own but like them too. Animals are a life commitment and I have seen many throughout their entire life including senior and end of life care. I genuinely love animals. They are part of our family. Yours will be cared for as if they are a member of my family. Currently, Maverick, a black lab is my soulmate. He is well-trained, intelligent, full of joy and great with other dogs. His favorite pastime is playing ball or just running around the yard with a ball in his mouth. He enjoys going for rides and adventures such as going to the park or beach. He loves to swim and play in the water. I am retired and available anytime, night or day. I am also on call for emergency situations as well, allowing same day bookings. I truly understand the importance of taking care of our special family members and there are times when circumstances are beyond our control. I am not available for boarding or house sitting because I have Maverick. If you are looking for boarding or overnight care, please consider scheduling multiple drop-in visits for times that fit their routine or we can discuss other alternatives to ensure your babies needs are met. My home is obviously dog friendly and the yard is secure. Maverick is mostly indoors due to the heat. Car rides, adventures, walks, indoor a s outdoor playtime, along with water activities are incorporated. Maverick is not a cuddle bug but he does like to relax with me on the couch.

“Anne was absolutely wonderful to work with. It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter, and first time with River. She made the experience exceptionally pleasing. She’s a gem.”

About: Welcome to a place where your dog is more than a guest—they’re family and part of the Wolfpack 🐾. With a background as a Veterinary Technician, I bring over 15 years of hands-on experience to my pet-sitting services, ensuring your furry friend’s safety, comfort, and happiness. My daily work with animals taught me not only to care for them when they’re healthy but also to recognize and meet their unique needs, whether they’re young pups or seasoned companions. Here, your dog joins our Wolfpack alongside Penny and Mayla, who love meeting new friends. Our fenced-in backyard offers plenty of room for play, and we’ll make sure they’re part of our adventures, whether it’s hiking trails, trips to the beach, or relaxing days at the dog park. Each stay is filled with family-style love and plenty of activity to keep them engaged and happy. Drop-off and pick-up times are flexible, with morning drop-off starting at 8 a.m. and evening options after 6 p.m. Stays are offered in 24-hour periods, and if you need an extended stay or later pickup, we can make it work with additional daycare options. When your dog stays with us, they’re part of the pack—safe, happy, and treated with the same love and care as my own Pet care is simply part of our everyday life here! Working from home lets us stay close to the pack all day, giving every furry guest the comfort and attention they need. We’re out in our fenced backyard for playtime multiple times a day, and we love heading out for hikes, extended walks, or a visit to the dog park when it’s safe. Every pet in our care gets plenty of love, play, and companionship, just like our own dogs. Your pet’s safety and happiness mean the world to us, and we make sure they’re in a safe, warm, and loving environment. Proof of up-to-date vaccines is required before any stay, and we skip the dog park during times of community health risks. With us, your pet will have freedom to roam in a homey, family-like setting. If they’re used to a crate, we can accommodate that too. Penny and Mayla love having new friends join the pack, and we’re here to keep an eye on everyone’s wellbeing and fun throughout the day.

About: I've taken care of a variety of different breeds, I am very active with the dogs. I have 3 years dogs training experience.

“Jada was incredibly professional and kind from the beginning. She took fantastic care of Coco and Tonks and we will most definitely be using her any time we need a walker/sitter. Highly recommend and trust with our fur babies!!”
About: I love animals ever since I was young age, especially how difference their personalities are! They have their own needs and wants which something I’m willing to learn no matter the size. Just give me the routine and I’ll follow it with no problems, they’ll be loved and cared for while you’re away! I volunteered in one rescue back in my hometown while growing up so preparing special food, walking/exercising, giving treats (especially to the good boys/girls!) are on my list! I also have basic grooming experience so brushing, basic teeth cleaning, cutting nails, cleaning face are on my list of experiences! I’m also not afraid to get down dirty when needing to bath a dirty dog! I currently work from home and I want to go out of the house and do something productive! What’s more than doing it with fluffy animals! I’m able to go outside more without needing to spend money so I thought might as well combine my love animals and going outside. It’s a win-win since I can take care of your babies while you’re busy and I can be outside of my house!! I currently live in a gated community, we have our own little dog park within the community. I also live in a 3 story apartment so if your cats end staying for the night they’ll have penalty if not more space to have their night zoomies!

I’m available any time, currently I have a lot of free time so I’m able to give your pets the attention they need even on short notice. I have a cat in one hole and multiple dogs in another and I give them whatever they need to be happy with me, in my clients home I do exactly as is needed

About: I've pet and house sat for cats and dogs of many breeds and sizes. Mostly for family and friends and I treat them like the beloved family members they are! Many times they have multiple dogs and or cats which is fine by me, love them all. I have been the lucky pet mama of many dogs, a few cats, birds, guinea pig and hamsters. They all were very dear to me and my family. Right now I'm retired and unfortunately my sweet old beagle-mix girl Leela, past away this past fall. I miss her dearly and the routine of walking her in her stroller because in her last year she lost mobility in her hind legs. I know I will eventually adopt another, but right now just enjoying her sweet memories 😊 ♥️ A typical day would start with outside time to do their business and get some exercise, followed by their breakfast and meds/ supplements if so needed. Then we relax a bit until afternoon walking, weather permitting, and playtime. Then relax until dinner and another walk/some playtime before retiring for the night. This of course varies with the pet's routines and needs each day. This is basically what we did with our dogs, and the cats were indoor/outdoor.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies to gentle senior dogs and cats, and I always tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I’m attentive, patient, and calm under pressure—whether that means helping with basic training, administering medications, or providing extra comfort for anxious pets. Every animal I care for is treated like family, with plenty of love, consistency, and understanding. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. I’m currently a student and a proud member of my school’s weightlifting team! My schedule is flexible in the afternoons and evenings, allowing me to care for pets between 4:00 and 9:00 p.m. on weekdays. On weekends, I’m completely free and can dedicate extra time to walks, playtime, and cuddles. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure every pet feels comfortable and secure by following their usual routines and respecting their individual needs. In my care, pets are always supervised, kept in clean and safe environments, and given plenty of love and attention. I’m careful to follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions exactly as provided. Whether I’m in my home or yours, your pet’s well-being always comes first.

“Nelson was always on time he went above and beyond to take care of our Milo. Milo somehow did not want to go beyond the drive way, I asked Nelson if he could pick him up and carry him to the end of the road then he would walk with you, I know that sounds funny but that’s how to get him to walk, Nelson had no problem doing so. I have scheduled Nelson for 2 weeks in a row and wr are very satisfied, more bookings are on the way. Thank you so much for everything you have done for Milo and us, you are greatly appreciated”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cared for my grandma’s pets, making sure they’re happy, fed, and loved. I treat every dog like family always. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to give pups attention, playtime, and care. Boarding works best for me on weekends after 2pm, but I’m happy to help on weekdays if needed — we can always work something out. For dog walking, I’m available most weekdays and flexible with scheduling to fit your pet’s routine. I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of space and grass for safe outdoor play. I can provide cat food, but I’ll need owners to bring any dog food and a crate if their pup uses one. I’m happy to help with basic dog grooming like brushing and bathing — I just don’t trim nails. Your pet will always be cared for and comfortable while they’re with me!

“Lindsay took incredible care of my dog. She was very communicative and provided me frequent updates and photos. My dog didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up. Normally he goes on a hunger strike when I’m away on a trip but he felt so comfortable with Lindsay that he even ate. Will be using Lindsay again for sure!”
“Chandler was very helpful with boarding Mando. He was knowledgeable and experienced in caring for my sweet boy as well as other dogs too! I would highly recommend using him for all of your boarding and doggy daycare needs.”

“Nicole was really great with our pup! I’m really grateful she made him part of her family for the holidays. She was always responsive and sent us some really great photos. When she dropped off something we’d left at her home, he was so excited to see her again! We’d definitely use her again.”

About: I've always owned & cared for animals my whole life. I grew up around a farm when I was a kid and I've always had dogs & cats of my own. I currently own 2 Great Danes and 3 cats. I currently work full time but will take appointments whenever I am off work and available. I will only take appointments for pet sitting/daycare in my own home. Since I have 5 animals of my own I cannot leave them for long periods of time to stay in your home. I do have a very medium/large crate in my home if your animal needs to be separated. I own my own home close to Starkey Park and several dog parks. My yard is completly fenced in with 6ft privacy fencing. I also have a screened in pool for those pets that like the water. I have a large sized pet door that goes from the house out to the fenced yard. My cats are very friendly and love my dogs but take a little to warm up to other dogs. They also have a small pet door to escape to the garage if they are overwhelmed . My dogs get along with all other dogs and don't mind cats.
“We LOVE Tracee, she took such wonderful care of Sage🥰. He enjoyed every minute, the walks, toys and lots love from Tracee. We highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again. Sage was also very clean when I picked him up🤗”
“Stephanie’s the best! My dog Oki is old and he hasn’t been with anyone else but me. He had a little bit of separation anxiety and Stephanie made him feel loved and cared for. She was patient with him and Oki finally felt safe in someone else’s care. We definitely would go back to her in a heartbeat.”
“Mai was awesome! Her dog is super friendly and handled my skittish dog very well. Being the first time I boarded I was a bit hesitant. I arrived and realized I had left his bag with food and the leash! She assured me she had extra and not to worry about having to go back to get my bag. Overall great experience.”
“Celeste is amazing! She accommodated my booking on short notice during the holiday and took GREAT care of my spoiled golden. Bella had a fun time with the children and her 2 fur babies. THANK YOU, Celeste!”
“Amazing experience with Rhiannon. She sent me so many updates and videos that eased all my worries. I have a rescue and she takes time warming up to others and Rhiannon was so attentive to her needs and making sure she felt comfortable when staying over. I would highly recommend Rhiannon and plan to use her for future services with out a doubt! Nothing but great things to say!”
“Katie did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies! She sent pictures, videos and comments everyday they were with her. She went above and beyond the standard to make sure we did not worry about our four-legged family members. We will definitely use her services again!”
