“Our dog, Wrigley, was extremely well cared for while we were away visiting our daughter and grandkids across the country. Due to bad weather, our flight home was delayed, then cancelled. Kym and Glen were glad to keep him longer! We loved the pictures they sent us of him to show he was doing well. We were very impressed with his care and would highly recommend them for dog care! Thanks agin for taking such good care of our boy!🦮❤️”
“Our Bella is our baby and we had a terrible experience during her 3 week stay and train with her previous trainer… which made me very anxious leaving her again. I can NOT say enough good things about Nancy… I feel beyond lucky to have her be Bella’s Aunt Nancy. In the very first picture she sent, I could tell Bella felt at home and was relaxed. She made us feel so comfortable, reassured and happy while we were out of town. Bella was so happy when we came back, you could tell she had the best weekend with Nancy. I can’t thank her enough and Bella will definitely be spending more time with her favorite Aunty Nancy! She genuinely loves the animals the takes care of and has such a warm heart. Thank you for everything you did, including dealing with my anxious self hehe. We are forever grateful.”
“Jessica is very caring. She went out of her way to make me feel comfortable leaving my two dogs with her. My dogs can’t talk :-), but I know that they grew comfortable in her care just by seeing them in pictures.”
“You won't find a better pet sitter than Linda and her husband Brian. They are devoted to their sweet girl Carmi, who plays so well with any dog they bring into their home. I have no worries when I leave Hank, other than she will be booked the next time I need her. 😍♥️”
“Joan was AMAZING with my diabetic cat. There are no words to describe how nice she was to me and my baby. It's been a very stressful beginning to what may be a long journey with diabetes. She put my mind at ease and I was comforted with her experience on handling the necessary insulin shots that he needed. She was also kind enough to stay with my cat on a night when he was having a hard time. She went above and beyond with making him feel at home. I can't thank her enough. I wish I could rate her 10 stars!!! :-)”
“Lisbeth is an incredible person. She took care of our kittens, Robin and Amarillo, for 5 days, and we had to extend for one more day with absolutely no problem at all. She sent us photos every day and kept us updated about them, which we are truly grateful for because, despite the distance, we always knew how the kittens were doing. Truly, she has all the qualities needed for your pets to have an excellent stay with her. Throughout our entire trip, we had peace of mind knowing they were perfectly cared for with Lisbeth. Thank you for your love, dedication, and affection for animals!!! 🐾💖”
“Robert and Topher took great care of our dog, and even sent us pictures and updates. Will definitely book with them again in the future and have already recommended them to friends.”
“Stephanie and Elizabeth are simply the best! My dog loves them and is happy to stay with them for a visit while I am gone. I trust them completely with my little girl.”
“We were so happy with Kendal and Dre. Dexter seemed so comfortable with them and their pup, Zeus. They were excellent keeping us informed with text messages, pictures and videos. Kendal even gave him a goody bag with homemade treats and a toy bone. We have already booked them for another stay next month. Thank you for making us feel comfortable leaving our baby with you both.”
“We love Candice! Our girl is always so happy when she stays with her. Candice is wonderful with her and keeps us updated with messages and pictures/videos during the stay.”
“Betsy was amazing with our dog, Bogey! She took such great care of him while we were away and kept us updated, which gave us total peace of mind. It’s clear she truly loves animals- Bogey was happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely be using her again! Thank you Betsy❤️”
“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.”
“Our dog spent the weekend with Janette, and we couldn't have found a better 'home away from home' for her. This is an oasis for any dog: a large, fenced yard provides plenty of room for exercise and entertainment, and her dog is great company for visiting canines. This is a true pet paradise, and we'll be recommending Janette's pet-sitting services to our friends. ”
“Nothing short of amazing. Lori kept in touch with updates and pictures. Our pups we genuinely happy there. Very accommodating, just good people. We will definitely use Lori again!”
“Angela was so very kind, considerate, and respectful of our time. Meet and greet as well as drop off/pick up were a breeze. Absolutely felt 1000% comfortable leaving my baby with her and it looked like our dogs had such a great time together. Thank you again for letting Luna play with Bieber!”
“Wow!! Awesome!! I am a Flight Attendant and needed a consistent boarding situation. I tried several different avenues and then came across Lizbeth & Earl. Harley gets very excited when we are getting close to their home and literally jumps into their arms! They treat him as one of their own and continue with his "puppy" training and regular routine. I have been very blessed to have found them! As I travel with my job, it is so nice to get pictures and e-mails of Harley. I am so at ease knowing he is with Lizbeth & Earl ( and of course their pups). If you need a place for your dog. I would HIGHLY recommend Lizbeth and Earl”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful. She is so kind and loving. During the entire stay, she took the time to share pictures of my Brunello several times a day. She is extremely quick to respond at any communication. I felt at peace during the whole time. And when I picked up my baby, he was full of joy and relaxed which showed me how much he enjoyed his stay with Michelle. We found our loving sitter for our baby ans we re so grateful !”
“I had a miscommunication with our usual sitter about my reservation, and he recommended Dr. Hope to cover the stay. She enthusiastically accepted our last minute reservation! I was so happy that she was available and took such great care of my dog. Lots of updates and pictures, and all of my senior dog's needs were met. I recommend Dr. Hope and will probably reserve with her again in the future!”

“Mckayla did an amazing job watching my cat, Panda! She sent lots of pictures, played with her, and gave clear updates that made me feel at ease while I was on my cruise. Thank you again!”
“My 2nd time having Denise watch James and it was as smooth as the first. Always the best updates with lots of photos and I can tell he’s super relaxed and comfortable with her. I couldn’t reccommend anyone else to have as your pet sitter!”
“She was absolutely perfect in every way!❤️ Kind, flexible, and understanding! She took a big burden off us at a very stressful time! Hope she’s available next time we need someone!🌻”
“Angelina dropped in to meet the kitties and go over their routine. Then she nailed it! She handled medication twice a day, refrigerated food, and they lived having her play with them. Angelina is a great communicator and a fantastic pet sitter.”
“We are so happy we found you! Alina was incredibly kind, attentive, and went above and beyond in every way. Her notes and pictures were detailed and thoughtful — it was so reassuring to check in and know our cats were in good hands. She handled every situation with care, including a little puke incident, and made sure everything was clean and tidy when we got home. The best sign of all? Our normally grumpy kitties were calm and happy when we got back. We will absolutely be booking her again! Thank you!”
“Christie was great! She did a couple meet and greets before taking care of our dog, and she was very patient and caring in taking care of her. She played tug of war and gave her plenty of time to lounge outside each visit. She sent pictures and gave me regular visit updates which was great!”
“Andie did great with our skiddish kitty cats over the holiday weekend. She made sure she saw them, tried to get them to warm up to her, and listened to instructions well in regard to feeding them / cleaning up their area. She was also delightful during our meet and greet and exhibited her vast knowledge by chatting about her history of cat care. Overall, we are pleased with Andie and highly recommend her for your feline family members! 😸😸”
“Taylor is amazing with our girl. She's just over 6 months now and some dog sitters are really stand offish with a "puppy" but Taylor stepped up and really delivered! She's an absolute pleasure to be around and couldn't be happier!”
“Fran was amazing … Bree was well taken care Fran was timely as she said she would be at my house at a certain time. I would absolutely use the services of Fran again she is a great pet sitter Thank you Fran”
“Sandra took care of our Ziggy from June 22nd through June 27th. She did a wonderful job and we will definitely use her again when needed. She kept us updated daily, sent pictures and videos so we could see how he was doing. He was a little shy at first, but warmed up to her easily. We could tell he was very happy and loved the visits. Thanks Sandy, we really appreciated the great care you took of Ziggy.”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m the reliable go-to for family and friends when they need someone patient and experienced to care for their cats.
“Michael was very helpful with my last minute cat sitting needs. He provided short but thorough updates each visit, and my cats definitely appreciated their playtime.”
“Mikaila is absolutely fantastic! She did daily check ins on our cat while we were out of the country for two weeks. She was diligent with her Rover cards, and took amazing care of our little boy. She also took care of our mail and kept an eye on our house. I have total trust in her, and can't thank her enough for her help. We will surely use her again in the future!”
About: I’ve lived with and cared for multiple cats over the years, and I understand how special (and sometimes particular!) our feline friends can be. I’m comfortable with everything from feeding routines and litter box maintenance to playtime and quiet companionship. I also have experience administering medication, whether it’s pills, topical treatments, or special diets. I know that every cat has their own unique personality and preferences, and I always take the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable. Whether your cat loves play sessions or prefers a cozy window perch and calm company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since childhood, and every summer I eagerly took on pet-sitting opportunities for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience caring for pets of all ages…from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior dogs and cats who need extra patience and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing dependable, loving care so you can feel confident while you're away.🩷 I work full time during the week so I will be available for evening walks / drop-ins and open for weekend play. Peace of mind for you & tail wags for them! For dog walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, reliability, and communication. I carefully follow each pet owner's instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and home access. During walks, I use secure leashes and remain aware of my surroundings to ensure your dog's safety. During drop-ins, I provide attentive care, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Rubonia
“First time using ROVER and Kym as doggie day care. Experience was FANTASTIC!!! Easy to initiate ROVER and locate a dog care for your needs. Kym and hubby are excellent with your pets. Will definitely use them again and highly recommend them to others.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of many different breeds since i was 15. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and watch their pets. I've trained 2 puppies to be house trained including my dog I own now. I am an avid animal lover and I'm currently a stay at home mom and have lots of free time to board/take care of your dog(s) or cat(s). I love dog walking & giving your pets the most attention and love they deserve! I will feed, walk & play with your pet whether its in my home or yours. I have a decent size yard to allow your dog to run around with my very friendly dog to keep them company! I can also keep them crated if you prefer but have dog beds for your pet to cozy up and feel at home in my home.
About: you would like to have Peace of Mind abut your beloved pet - you are in the right place! I had dogs and cats as long as I can remember. I love animals, and will care for yours as well as for my own. I will spoil them, but not more then you like me to do it. Puppies and seniors, large and small - everybody is welcome. As long as your dog or cat likes chihuahuas (not as a snack) and OK with cats. I am working from home, so your pet will never feel abandoned. We do not have small children. Our house is large, and dogs allowed everywhere. I will take dogs on walks, play with them, feed as directed, and follow every care instruction. I can also babysit your cat.
About: I have had pets my entire life. With a range of dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, geckos, chinchillas, and fish. I take pride in knowing animal behaviors and being able to accommodate to all needs from puppies to seniors. I work full time but can work from home when needed. My husband is a stay at home dad. So someone is always at the house or near by. We have a large spacious home, with plenty of space to explore and find comfort. Our backyard is fenced in with a lock on the gate. Our neighborhood has sidewalks and paths and is residential so only local homeowners travel in and out the area. Very quiet and clean neighborhood.
“Our miniature dachshund "Monty" went to Olga for daycare a couple of times. He liked her very much and was well cared for by Olga and her family. Unfortunately we aren't able to book her anymore cause we just moved. We wish Olga and her family the very best.”
“Something came up and we needed a sitter immediately and Jessica was able to fill our needs. This was Callie's first visit and when we picked her up, she seemed relaxed and happy. Jessica included 5 pictures of her stay and an update on potty and water breaks, which was very much appreciated.”
About: I’ve been a pet parent all my life and enjoy interacting with dogs. I love how they make me laugh and enjoy walking, playing and caring for them. Your pet will be in great hands in my home. I am retired and a full time stay at home dog mom of a 6 yo standard Goldendoodle. She is very sweet and loves every living creature. I assure you your pet and my dog will get along well and they will be active and enjoy playing together. My yard is fenced and there is plenty of room to run and play. I have a dog pool they can play in, lots of balls and toys to ensure enrichment. Your pet is in good hands and will be safe and secure in my home.
About: I offer a safe and fun place for your dog(s) to visit while you’re away. No meet and greets are required if I can accommodate your booking request, however, if you prefer to have a meet and greet prior to making a booking for boarding, I ask that you please book a drop-in visit so that I can get to know your pup 😊 I have always had a dog growing up. Your pupster will be in loving hands with our family! Traveling? I have weekends available. If you need weekday service let’s talk to see if I can accommodate you and your pup! We’re a pretty active family and the pups are generally free to roam. I have a fenced backyard and my neighborhood has plenty of sidewalk space. Your pup will be loved on by me, my 6 year old, and our pup from the moment they enter our home. Don’t be alarmed if your pup is spoiled by the time you pick them up :-)
“Brio had a wonderful time, she enjoyed having one-on-one attention and cuddles all day with Carol while Mum & Dad did ‘adult human’ things. We would highly recommend Carol to take care of anyones fur baby.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. In addition to being a dedicated dog owner, I’ve spent time pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, as well as fostering dogs in need of a safe and loving environment. These experiences have taught me how important it is to understand each dog’s unique personality, routine, and comfort level. As the owner of a friendly Golden Retriever, I know firsthand how difficult it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I strive to make every dog feel like part of the family while they’re with me. Whether your pup loves playing, going for walks, or simply relaxing and getting plenty of attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to provide reliable, personalized care and give pet parents peace of mind through regular updates, photos, and open communication. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated with the same love and care I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals is already a big part of my life. I work mornings as a baker and am typically home by late morning or early afternoon, which allows me plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding schedules, and one-on-one attention. My own Golden Retriever keeps me active, so daily exercise and enrichment are already part of my routine. I strive to provide a structured, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. Whether your pet prefers active play or a quiet place to unwind, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, attention, and plenty of affection throughout their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, pet-friendly home where dogs are supervised, treated with kindness, and cared for according to their individual needs and routines. I take the time to learn each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise requirements, personality, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure while away from home. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I focus on creating a calm, welcoming environment and maintaining open communication with pet parents. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for throughout their stay.
About: Plenty of references with my regular customers that I can share. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I’ve long been the go-to person for family and friends when they need someone they trust to care for their pets. I also volunteer with Dogs Inc., which has given me even more appreciation for understanding dog behavior and providing consistent, thoughtful care. Hi! I’m a lifelong dog mom and recently retired professional who now has the time to focus on something I truly love spending time with animals. Animals have always been part of my life, and caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’m also a volunteer with Dogs Inc., which has given me an even deeper appreciation for dog behavior, patience, and understanding different personalities. I’m physically fit and active, so daily walks, playtime, and keeping up with energetic dogs is something I truly enjoy. I share my home with my dog Roxie, who absolutely loves having visiting dogs around. She’s very friendly and quickly becomes the welcoming committee for any new house guests. Because I’m retired, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, visits, playtime, and companionship. Whether your dog needs exercise, a midday visit, or a comfortable place to stay, I love making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I provide a safe, calm, and trusting environment and care for every pet just as I would my own, with plenty of attention, love, and care.
“I believe our boys have found their new best friend! We have a couple of rescues and one of them is high energy, high anxiety. We really needed someone who could help him become more comfortable around other dogs—needed lots of patience! Tara is an answer to a prayer! We had two meet and greets with her dog, and we just picked them up from their first day of daycare. They did great and we are so happy to recommend Tara!”
“Joan was wonderful with our dog Bliss. She made sure she took a walk, gave her treats and belly rubs and was in contact with us throughout the entire day. She sent sweet photos that put our minds at ease and helped us to enjoy our day knowing our sweet girl was being cared for.”
“Gina was amazing with my pup nova. Her home was so cozy and clean. She was so well taken care of and had plenty of toys to play with. Her doodles were also the best companion for my nova to play with. Definitely will book with again!”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for several years and truly understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. As a pet owner myself, I have hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, daily walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I have real-life experience caring for my own animals and helping friends and family with theirs. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for pets of different temperaments — from energetic pups to independent or shy cats. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I currently work part-time and create my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including afternoons and evenings. Because of my flexible schedule, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care and attention. I have a fully fenced backyard with grass for safe outdoor play and live within walking distance of a dog park for extra exercise (with owner approval). Inside my home, pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment. I can easily follow specific feeding schedules, crate routines, medication instructions, or litter box preferences. For cats, I ensure litter boxes stay clean, provide enrichment and playtime, and respect their space if they prefer quiet companionship. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve had the joy of caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs — from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience supporting dogs with cancer and mobility challenges, making sure they stay comfortable, loved, and happy. I know how important it is to follow special routines, medications, and gentle handling for pets who need extra care. I’ve also trained my own dogs to use the potty outside, walk calmly on leash, and respond to basic commands — so patience and positive reinforcement are second nature to me. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddles, or keeping up with a strict medication schedule, I treat every pet like family. What sets me apart is my calm, caring approach and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I don’t just “watch” pets — I connect with them, comfort them, and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. Your pets deserve the best care — and that’s exactly what I provide. ❤️ Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to give pets my full attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to take frequent breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles — making sure every pet gets plenty of love and activity. Because I’m home most of the time, pets are never left alone for long, and I can easily adjust my day around their needs, from medication schedules to potty breaks. Whether it’s a morning walk, mid-day snuggle, or evening play session, caring for pets naturally fits into my everyday life — it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to! Pet safety is always my top priority! Since I have a dog who loves to chew on just about anything, I’ve become very mindful about keeping my home — and my clients’ homes — completely pet-safe. I make sure anything that could be harmful or tempting to chew on is put away, and that pets have a clean, comfortable, and secure space to relax and play. When I’m caring for your furbaby, I treat them exactly the way I’d want someone to care for mine — with patience, love, and attention to detail. I stick to their routines, provide plenty of playtime and cuddles, and make sure they always feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐾

“Patti was wonderful with my pup. He's often skittish around new people as we suspect he was abused before we adopted him but he warmed right up to Patti and was giving her kisses by the end of the visit.

I assure you your pet and my dog will get along well and they will be active and enjoy playing together. My yard is fenced and there is plenty of room to run and play. I have a dog pool they can play in, lots of balls and toys to ensure enrichment. Your pet is in good hands and will be safe and secure in my home.
“Thank you, Chris! Chris was professional, on time, friendly and even took the chuck-it out for my babies as requested! My dogs were definitely tired when they came back from their play/walk and we will definitely be calling him again!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life- it’s a true passion that shapes who I am. From growing up with my own dog and regularly helping neighbors with walks, feeding, and playtime, to currently sharing my home with my energetic Aussiedoodle, Bodhie, I’ve built hands-on experience that lets me adapt quickly to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I’m equally comfortable with cats, having lived with them for years and handled everything from daily feeding and interactive play to litter box care and administering medication when needed. For small animals, I grew up with hamsters and have been a dedicated guinea pig mom to three wonderful piggies in my adult life, so I know exactly how to provide the specialized care, fresh veggies, and gentle handling these little ones thrive on. I’m actively working with my own high-energy young dog on leash skills and calm behavior around distractions, so I’m comfortable supporting your pet’s training routines too. What truly sets me apart is my deep respect and individualized attention for every animal I care for- I treat them as if they were my own. Whether it’s tailoring the perfect walk for your dog, giving your cat those essential snuggles, maintaining a consistent routine for your senior pet, or ensuring your small animal gets enrichment and the right diet, I’m committed to keeping them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently on a leave of absence from my job, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I will be able to give your fur babies the attention, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. Your pet won’t just get the basics- they’ll get quality time, belly rubs, and lots of love! I make it a priority to maintain a safe, familiar, and stress-free environment. I know how important routines are, so I closely follow your instructions- from feeding and medication to walk schedules and favorite toys or games. I take time to build trust with your pet, always moving at their pace and making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also respect your home just as much as I respect your pets- keeping things tidy, secure, and treating your space with care. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands and receiving plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re gone.

“Our dog, Wrigley, was extremely well cared for while we were away visiting our daughter and grandkids across the country. Due to bad weather, our flight home was delayed, then cancelled. Kym and Glen were glad to keep him longer! We loved the pictures they sent us of him to show he was doing well. We were very impressed with his care and would highly recommend them for dog care! Thanks agin for taking such good care of our boy!🦮❤️”
“Jessica is very caring. She went out of her way to make me feel comfortable leaving my two dogs with her. My dogs can’t talk :-), but I know that they grew comfortable in her care just by seeing them in pictures.”
“Joan was AMAZING with my diabetic cat. There are no words to describe how nice she was to me and my baby. It's been a very stressful beginning to what may be a long journey with diabetes. She put my mind at ease and I was comforted with her experience on handling the necessary insulin shots that he needed. She was also kind enough to stay with my cat on a night when he was having a hard time. She went above and beyond with making him feel at home. I can't thank her enough. I wish I could rate her 10 stars!!! :-)”
“Robert and Topher took great care of our dog, and even sent us pictures and updates. Will definitely book with them again in the future and have already recommended them to friends.”
“We were so happy with Kendal and Dre. Dexter seemed so comfortable with them and their pup, Zeus. They were excellent keeping us informed with text messages, pictures and videos. Kendal even gave him a goody bag with homemade treats and a toy bone. We have already booked them for another stay next month. Thank you for making us feel comfortable leaving our baby with you both.”
“We love Candice! Our girl is always so happy when she stays with her. Candice is wonderful with her and keeps us updated with messages and pictures/videos during the stay.”
“Nothing short of amazing. Lori kept in touch with updates and pictures. Our pups we genuinely happy there. Very accommodating, just good people. We will definitely use Lori again!”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful. She is so kind and loving. During the entire stay, she took the time to share pictures of my Brunello several times a day. She is extremely quick to respond at any communication. I felt at peace during the whole time. And when I picked up my baby, he was full of joy and relaxed which showed me how much he enjoyed his stay with Michelle. We found our loving sitter for our baby ans we re so grateful !”
“I had a miscommunication with our usual sitter about my reservation, and he recommended Dr. Hope to cover the stay. She enthusiastically accepted our last minute reservation! I was so happy that she was available and took such great care of my dog. Lots of updates and pictures, and all of my senior dog's needs were met. I recommend Dr. Hope and will probably reserve with her again in the future!”
“Skipper had a wonderful time at their house while we were on a week long family vacation! They kept me updated with cute pictures of him every day. He loved the fenced in backyard and playing with the other dogs and kids!”
“I needed a dogsitter on short notice and am so thankful to have found Eve. She was incredibly responsive, trustworthy, and professional, and from the moment we met at the meet-and-greet, I knew it was a great match. My whippet can be "cat-like" and aloof, but she responded to Eve like a lifelong friend. We also got a bunch of photos and updates all weekend, which were so appreciated. Your dog is in loving and capable hands with Eve!”
“Carla was fantastic! Our dogs are happy, healthy, and safe! Carla was accommodating for feeding instructions and provides a very positive and structured environment for the dogs. You can tell she's experienced with animals and respectful in how she deals with them. We provided too little food, and Carla was happy to go out of her way to pick up more of the exact same type!”
“Audrey and Karson were awesome! They took such great care of our pup while we were away and made sure to send pictures and updates. We would be more than happy to have Boomer stay with them again!!”
“Tara is AMAZING! Our pup boarded with her full time for a week while we were out of town. Professional, caring, reliable, and communicative, just to name a few of her wonderful care giving qualities. Lots of pictures and communication every day. Even on short notice and on top of that our pup started going into a heat cycle while in her care. Tara kept us updated and made sure our pup was safe, loved, and cared for. Could not be happier with this experience and I highly recommend Tara!”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for several years and truly understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. As a pet owner myself, I have hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, daily walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I have real-life experience caring for my own animals and helping friends and family with theirs. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for pets of different temperaments — from energetic pups to independent or shy cats. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I currently work part-time and create my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including afternoons and evenings. Because of my flexible schedule, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care and attention. I have a fully fenced backyard with grass for safe outdoor play and live within walking distance of a dog park for extra exercise (with owner approval). Inside my home, pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment. I can easily follow specific feeding schedules, crate routines, medication instructions, or litter box preferences. For cats, I ensure litter boxes stay clean, provide enrichment and playtime, and respect their space if they prefer quiet companionship. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of and owned dogs my entire life! I’ve been a reliable dog owner and watcher for friends, family and neighbors for years. I have experience with a lot of different breeds and personalities ranging from Shih Tzu to Husky to Doodle to Aussie. I currently stay at home and am able to provide a lot of undivided attention, walks, and love for your fur baby! My schedule is flexible and I am able to board and watch your pups as needed. I have a shy mini Aussie (7) that is able to freely roam our home and will keep your pup company! Our yard is not fenced, but we are able to go on multiple walks a day if needed and enjoy our community dog park to get extra wiggles out.
“Amanda and her kids did a great job watching our dog, Hans, and treated him like a part of their family. He loved cuddling with her daughter and husband. We plan on using them again soon.”
