“Katrina was kind and was loving sitter to my Lilly. She had no problems sending pictures and updates of Lilly’s care and progress with her. Will be using her again.”

“I was a little concerned because I had not left Lady with anybody in years. As soon as we got there for the greet and meet, she felt like home. She did not bark at Noleen as she usually does when seen someone for the first time. I left at ease knowing that Lady was comfortable with Noleen. Noleen kept me updated and she even sent me a couple of videos. My Lady was happy when I picked her up. I would recommend Noleen as a pet sitter.”


“Jessica was great with our two fur babies. She and her family made sure they got plenty of exercise in a safe environment. Jessica was also great with communicating and sending photos. Will use again and recommend.”

“Christi was very friendly, flexible and easy to book! Christi sent plenty of messages with pictures of our baby. We felt comfortable and confident with our baby in her care. We will definitely be using Christi again and recommend that you use her as well!”

“I wish I could give more than 5 stars- Jeanie was amazing with my baby, Charlie! She was attentive, communicated so well with me, and made me so comfortable with having to be out of town without my fur baby. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Joule went above and beyond, calming our fears of leaving our dogs over night. Mollie & Nitro had so much fun while staying with Joule that they never even missed us. She kept us up to date with text messages and photos of what the dogs were doing and they seemed very happy when my Husband went and picked them up after our vacation. I would highly recommend Joule and will definitely be calling on her again in the future. Thank-you Joule for everything! =)”
About: Growing up, I spent as much time as I could volunteering at shelters and animal rescues, learning how to care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Once I was old enough to work, I took on professional roles involving animals, gaining hands-on experience in everything from basic care to behavior support. I don’t just watch pets—I connect with them, spoil them, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. currently attend night classes from 6:00 to 9:30 PM during the week, which means I’m available during the day for drop-in visits, walks, and quality time with your pup! My daytime availability allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re busy. I’m committed to making sure your pet feels happy and comfortable, even during your busiest hours. In my home, I keep things calm, safe, and structured—perfect for pets who thrive on routine. I live in a small apartment, so I make sure pets get plenty of outdoor time and stimulation throughout the day. I take my own dogs out on leash every 1–2 hours for short potty breaks and fresh air, and we go on a longer walk once a day—usually after dinner when it’s cooler outside. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on consistency, comfort, and keeping them active, loved, and well-cared for. I tailor everything to fit your pet’s needs and routine.
About: I’ve taken care of my family’s animals while they have been out of town or running out for groceries for about say 2 years now I have a routine with my own animal so it’s a daily thing in my house hold to do it without it my day wouldn’t be complete.

“Noleen is the best! She went above and beyond for my two kitties, and I was so comforted to know they were in the hands of someone who loves animals as I do. I will definitely be relying on Noleen to care for my pets for the foreseeable future! She is amazing!”


“Cassidy is beyond amazing, she did wonderful with Miles (cat) and truly thankful. She is kind, caring, and a delight with animals and people - if I could give more stars 🌟 I would without hesitation. I will certainly be reaching out to her in the future; she truly is amazing!”

About: I was raised with cats and dogs. I read a dog training book when I was in high school. I have always been mission-oriented, and today's mission is to ensure your pets are looked after and that you are confident they are safe and healthy. My schedule revolves around animals. If I'm not spending time with my dogs, then it's my mom's dogs. If it's not her dogs, then it's chickens. (Dogs are more fun, have you tried playing fetch with a chicken?) I will care for your pets with the same love and affection I provide to my own dogs, excluding any rough-housing since my dogs tend to play quite boisterously. I will diligently follow all instructions to the best of my abilities and will communicate promptly if I encounter any difficulties, seeking an alternative solution.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Alfords
“Lesly is absolutely amazing. After meeting her yesterday, I decided to book doggy day care for today, and I am so happy I did because not only did I have a longer-than-expected day, but my baby was also well cared for and not lonely at home.”

“We really enjoyed Katarina. She took such great care of our cavapoo,"Cafe". Katarina was very kind, welcoming, friendly and endearing. The entire experience was exactly what I had hoped for. Katarina was punctual and on time. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone that is in need of a doggie daycare. You won't be disappointed.”

“Noleen is like my dogs' (Jacob and Rigsby) angel. They really had lots of fun. After I brought them home, they are really obedient. Surprisingly Rigsby, who usually barks and bites his crate when inside, agreed to stay inside the crate without biting the crate (thank goodness). My other dog Jacob, he always try to get ahead and be the first one to get out of the door. When we went home, he did not even try to pull me. I think Noleen has that magic touch! I will definately bring my fur babies back to her. Definately recommend her 101%.”

“This was my first time leaving my 8 month old golden doodle, Jax, with anyone! I found Kathy via Nextdoor and I am SO glad I did! She is AMAZING! She was so patient with my high energy pup and was very knowledgeable about caring for doodles! Jax will def be back to play AND I’m getting ready to book him for boarding next month. Thanks Kathy!”

“Melissa is very reliable and responds quickly. Max and Ruby love their walks with Melissa, they always have the biggest smiles in all the picture updates. Would highly recommend Melissa, your fur babies will be well taken care of.”

About: I’ve had pets since childhood. We have owned 2 Great Danes as well as smaller breeds and cats. I have a heart for animals. I regularly donate food, litter, toys and cleaning supplies to our local shelter. Over the years I’ve done dog sitting for others. I am reliable and trustworthy. I worked in childcare/education for many years and have had a background check as well as being fingerprinted. I am available 7 days a week to care for your pets. I worked outside the home for 25 plus years in childcare/education. I have more time on my hands now and would enjoy helping families with their pet care needs. We live on 5 acres and have a fenced area for dogs to run and exercise. We are a tobacco free family. Our home is a large clean well maintained home. I separate my dogs for feeding and have crates for time to chill out, nap ect. We have beds and blankets for comfort and plenty of treats. We no longer have a cat as my almost 17 year old cat passed away this summer.
“We just got in to town and we I had a family emergency. We didn’t have anyone to take care of our pets. She was on the spot and made me feel comfortable to leave my pets and home in her trust.”


About: I have 28 years experience with dogs of different breeds, with my favorite being German shepherds. I had 2 for 10 years. They both passed away last year so I currently do not have any dogs or other animals. Experience with various different types of reptiles - snakes, monitors, geckos. Ducks, chickens, you name it - I will look after it🫡 I have a very flexible schedule that would allow me to be available for long periods of times, very short notice, end during business hours, when most people are at work and neither their dog looked after. I will go over rules very extensively with everyone before the booking. Thank you medication’s for everything will be labeled and talked abouttt.m
