“Brad was friendly and courteous. My pups seemed very happy when I picked them up, and he was kind enough to send a couple pictures of them getting all the cuddles they could want!”
“Oreo loves Christina. She is absolutely fantastic! She treated our dog, Oreo like family. He was so happy and well-cared for. Oreo is a picky eater but Christina is so patient to him and always makes sure that he will eat his food. We received daily photos and updates which gave us peace of mind while away. Highly recommend!!”
“I just had my first boarding of my five year-old calm Doberman with Mary. Everything seemed to go perfectly, as he was welcomed into their home and by her kids as well. Plenty of snuggles and playtime. I’ll definitely board Reagan with her again.”
“Rebecca and Michael had our chihuahua again. The communication and pictures is very consistent and frequent. They have never missed a beat when they have watched our dogs. I have 0 fear leaving them with Rebecca and Michael. If you are needing a sitter I recommend them for sure.”
“Haylie was absolutely amazing! My fur babe was shown the utmost of care and love! I was always kept up to date with pictures, which was awesome! Definitely will be a repeat customer!”
“This was the first extended stay with Sarah. Our Yorkie mix did great. Sarah’s background as a vet tech gave us confidence in his care. I know our Yorkie had a good time because we was super happy and excited when we arrived to pick him up and he was calm and relaxed on the drive home. With other sitters, the drive home he has been anxious with heavy panting. Thank you Sarah for your comforting care!”
“Moka had another wonderful stay with Danielle and Nyla...more like camp or vacation!! Danielle had so many fun activities for Moka including visits to the beach! For mom, leaving Moka in such good hands gives me peace of mind to enjoy my time away. Danielle is highly trained, intuitive and can manage Moka's insulin injections. Danielle is great at creating different kinds of play to stimulate an older dog. Her videos showed Moka looking more like a puppy than an older dog! Moka is a treated as a family member! She loves her stays with Danielle!!!”
“Kelly & James are excellent!!! We had to travel urgently and found them just the previous day. Kelly takes time to understand your pet and their needs thoroughly. They looked after our pet very well and kept us updated with texts and pictures. Our pet is very anxious and takes time to get comfortable with new people but our pet did really well with Kelly & James. They are also very good at understanding each pet's temperament and managing them at the same time. They are passionate and genuinely care for the pets. Our pet enjoyed her stay at Kelly & James!! I would highly recommend Kelly & James and would definitely be a repeat customer!!”
“Abigail was absolutely amazing with my fur babies. They had lots of fun. Plenty of room to run and instantly felt right at home. I am very particular about who cares for my babies when I unable to take them with me but, I did not feel uneasy with the love and care they were getting at all. She sent pics and communicated with me the entire time. I will definitely go to Abigail again in the event I need to be away again.”
“Lisa was amazing! So communicative, clearly very caring for animals, and was also accommodating when we added a day to our dogs stay at the last minute due to travel changes. Thank you Lisa for taking care of our boys! Highly recommend!”
“Laura is AMAZING. I’ve never used a pet sitter before and she makes me feel as comfortable leaving my dogs with her like she’s family. She send so many photos of them throughout the day.. I’m convinced my pups have more fun at Laura’s than my place. I would recommend her over and over again.”
“Mariia and her family were excellent! They took such a great care about my little furry friend. Mariia sent me messages and pictures almost every day. I knew he was in good hands. Will definitely book again! ☺️”
“As soon as both me and my dog met Joe and Kelli we both knew it would be a great match. You could tell right away that they are good, dog loving people. My dog is older but acts younger so when she sprained her leg while running around while in their care, they took the appropriate and immediate action that was needed. I felt very comfortable with my fur baby in their care. I couldn’t recommend them more!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with our senior dog, Charlee 🤍 Leaving an older dog can be stressful, but she made the entire experience feel so easy and reassuring. She was incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive to Charlee’s needs (medications), making sure she was comfortable, well cared for, and getting all the extra love senior pups deserve. We really appreciated the updates and knowing she was in such kind, capable hands. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I would 100% trust Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you for taking such great care of our sweet girl 🐾”
“Nicole and her family are Leo's second family. They take such good care of him and he loves them tons. Leo is loved and taken good care of, kept on his schedule and walked regularly. Highly recommend Nicole.”

About: Kelli and I both grew up caring for our family dogs and when we got married (over 30 years ago), we of course had to find our Lucy. We found Lucy at the local shelter and she changed our lives. We loved her for 13 years and when she passed, she left a gigantic hole in our hearts. We are not ready to have another dog of our own but love to care for others. We travel quite a bit and don't want to board a fuzzy baby in a kennel. About 2 years after losing our Lucy, we started pet sitting for our friends and neighbors and it has been a blessing. It's like having grand kids. We have the joy of a pet for short periods of time and then they go home! We care for pets for overnights, up to 5 -7 nights if needed. We love and care for them like they are our own. Our home is very dog friendly, with mostly tile floors and furniture they can sit/nap on. Your pet will be spoiled while visiting with us. We own a small business and Kelli works from home 5 days a week. Joe works from home 2-3 days a week. The pets get spoiled with love and attention. We have a large fenced backyard and a great neighborhood to walk in. We will walk your pet several times per day and they will have unlimited in/out privileges.

I have had many different kinds of pets growing up, but dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I grew up with dogs and have been around them since I was 5 years old.

About: Care for 30-60 pounds doggies. My dogs are senior dogs , mellowed, very easy going. May not be a good fit for a young puppy younger then 2. At this time I am only able to accept doodles due to my work. I work with food, bake all kinds of pastries and breads. Only non shedding pups at this time as I cannot have any hair around my kitchen. I am home most of the time so potty breaks can be as often as needed. My pets are my children. When asked how many kids do I have I say 4. Two human babies and 2 animal babies. My pups are very gentle with my children and I would like to continue with such puppies/ guests. I have been around dogs all of my life. Grew up in Poland with family who had farms and all kinds of animals. Dogs were always around. Playing with them was part of growing up and having fun. Now I have 2 sheepadoodles (Lilly and Bella) who are wonderful companions. They are big, furry, loving addition to my family. Cannot imagine living without them. My 4 legged babies can get me smiling on a bad day. I care about them as much I as do about my human children. They absolutely love humans, and get along with other dogs.. I am home almost all the time so your dogs will not feel lonely. Also doggies are allowed to run freely , there are no cages. Our yard is fenced and pretty big with toys to play with. I would like to take dogs between 30-60 pounds. just because mine are 50 and 70 pounds and by my experience they do play better. I take only 1 guest pup at the time so the experience is more personal. Also that helps me to keep all of them safe .... there are 4 cameras in our house so I can have an eye on my furry babies even when I am grocery shopping or running errands. Safety and love is what I like to share. I had taken a break from Bording due to personal issues. When pregnant with second child someone smashed into my car. Don’t remember anything. Woke up in a hospital couple of days later. High risk pregnancy. My daughter is 6 now and I decided to resume taking a doggie companion. It is very important I only have gentle dogs guests. Especially Gentle with children around. Thank you for understanding. I am stay home mom. If I go out it won’t be longer than 3 -4 hours most of the Time. I have been stay home mom for 10 years now. I have a fenced yard and 2 doggies to keep your pup company. If I step out it is for couple of hours only. I have 4 cameras in my home to check on them as often as I want to.
About: I’ve taken care of puppies for a couple of years now, friends and family have me taking care of their dogs while they’re on vacation. I take care of a dog while their owners are working.

About: Hi, My name is Maarten and twenty-nine years ago, I applied for an internship at Artis, a zoo in Amsterdam. As luck would have it, I didn't get the job and life took me in a different direction. Now I am 45 years old and fate has finally delivered me to a spot where I can get back to my childhood dream of working with animals. I grew up in a household filled with animals: dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, rats and parrots. This nurtured a wide knowledge of animal care. Over the years, we've had 9 dogs, all of which I trained myself. At the moment, I am raising a 1.5 year old German Shepherd and a 6 month old BullMastiff mix. I want to say that over the years, dogs have grown especially close to my heart. To be honest, they have completely taken over. At the moment, I work part-time as a kennel attendant for S.A.F.E. Pet Rescue. Although I consider it a dream job, my long-term goal is to open up my own doggy daycare. Approach to Dog Walking: I believe that every dog is unique and deserves the utmost care and respect. I approach dog walking with a big smile and a warm heart. My goal is to create a fun and lively experience for your dog, making each walk a joyful adventure. During our walks, I'll ensure your furry friend's safety and well-being, while also encouraging positive behavior. Wednesday and Thursday I work for S.A.F.E. Animal Shelter. The rest of the week I am available between 08:00 and 15:30. Evening visits can be planned by special request. The safety of your pets and property are my main focus. Before you take me on as your pet profesional we will go over your dog's/cat's strengths and weaknesses to ensure a healthy happy and safe experience.
“This was a very short notice scheduled walk. Abigail picked up my requested and helped me so much with Sam. Sam is second day in New environment and not really great with strangers. But Abigail did amazing with Sam. I was worried about pairing them, but it is a perfect fit... I can't thank her enough for stepping in to help me”
About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember, and wouldn’t have it any other way. They are the charm of any home!! I would be honored to watch your pet. I currently work from home and have three dogs myself. All very loved and get along great with other animals, including cats!! I am home all day every day and the dogs thrive when we have a guest pet. My house is set up to where I can divide the animals and they’d still be comfortable. I also have a very large 2 acre lot that is completely fenced in.
About: I’ve had dogs for my entire life both big and small. I’ve also volunteered at the SAFE dog shelter for about 6 months. I absolutely love all animals but especially dogs! I work full time so I’m looking to walk/house sit on night and weekends. I could use my lunch break at work to tend to the dogs needs. I’m extremely fun and playful so I would just follow your wishes of how you wanted your dog to be taken care of. I also enjoy taking walks.
About: Years of experience taking care of dogs, both large and small! Additionally, I am the proud owner of an orange tabby cat, whom I adore endlessly. I understand and have experience with the high-energy "zoomies" and playful nature of both puppies and cats. What sets me apart from other sitters is my comprehensive experience with pets of all ages and sizes. Currently, I have a senior dog at home, so I am well-versed in providing specialized care, including administering medication, managing special dietary needs, and ensuring frequent bathroom breaks. Friends and family have relied on me to watch, walk, feed, and play with their pets. My love for animals drives my dedication to caring for your pets. I am committed to providing your pets with the same level of dedication and affection that I give to my own furry friends. As I transition back into work and prepare to return to school next year, I find that pet care fits seamlessly into my flexible schedule. Living at home allows me the freedom to manage my time efficiently, accommodating both my responsibilities and personal pursuits. My flexible hours enable me to adapt to the needs of pet owners, whether it's for daily walks, feeding schedules, or overnight stays. I prioritize my commitments, ensuring that I can dedicate ample time to providing quality care for pets while also pursuing my hobbies and professional goals. Incorporating pet care into my routine not only aligns with my current lifestyle but also enriches it, fostering a sense of responsibility, compassion, and companionship that I deeply value. When caring for pets in their own homes, I prioritize creating a comfortable and familiar environment for them. Here's how I typically approach pet care in clients' homes: Initial Assessment: Before starting any care routine, I conduct a thorough assessment of the pet's needs and the home environment. This helps me understand their routine, any medical requirements, and specific instructions from the pet owner. Establishing Routine: I strive to maintain consistency by following the pet's usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding times, bathroom breaks, exercise, and playtime, ensuring minimal disruption to their daily life. Environmental Enrichment: I create a stimulating environment for the pet by providing toys, interactive games, and enrichment activities tailored to their preferences. This helps prevent boredom and promotes mental stimulation and physical activity. Safety and Security: I prioritize the safety and well-being of the pet by ensuring that the home environment is secure and free from potential hazards. This includes securely closing doors and windows, removing toxic plants or substances, and safely storing any cleaning supplies or household items. Health Monitoring: Throughout my time with the pet, I keep a close eye on their health and behavior, noting any changes or concerns. This includes monitoring their appetite, hydration, bathroom habits, and overall demeanor. In case of any issues, I promptly communicate with the pet owner and seek veterinary assistance if necessary. Personalized Care: Every pet is unique, so I tailor my care approach to suit their individual needs and preferences. Whether it's administering medication, providing extra cuddles for comfort, or accommodating specific dietary requirements, I ensure that each pet receives personalized attention and care. By following these guidelines and maintaining open communication with pet owners, I strive to provide a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet care service that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind while they're away.

About: I've cared for animals my entire life and truly love them like family. Growing up, I helped my neighbor with Operation Catnip, where we trapped, rescued, and rehabilitated feral cats and dogs. I assisted with feeding, bathing, walking, giving medication, changing litter—whatever the animals needed. Over time, I started my own small pet care business for friends and family, and I also volunteered at my hometown's local animal shelter. I've fostered animals over the years as well, so I'm experienced with pets that need extra patience and care.

For cats, I provide gentle, attentive care—cleaning litter, keeping feeding areas tidy, and respecting their space or snuggle needs depending on their personality. I'm also comfortable caring for multiple pets and making sure each one gets the attention and care they deserve.
