“I'm so happy Mya is the sitter I chose. Her back yard is a PUPPY PARADISE... I'm used to apartment living and having to leash walk Luci several times a day. But at Mya's house, Luci can run around in a big secure fenced-in yard with lush grass. It was like a real vacation for her. Mya has cameras on her phone so she can watch the dogs when she's away from the house. She is so chill and welcoming. I brought up my dog's behavioral issues, and she really took the time during the initial meeting to make sure her 4 pups and mine were going to get along OK, and to answer any questions I might have. Her small dogs are very sweet, and Luci made fast friends with them. I got updates with photos and video every day. Overall it was an amazing experience, and I hope we get to make this a more regular thing. Would rate 6 stars if I could.”

“Ruth is the best! She sent pictures everyday and treated our dog like it was hers. She took long walks and her fenced in backyard was perfect. We were gone for 10 days and we never had to worry about our dog….NEVER!”

“Tammy and her family were amazing! Eli loved running around in the big fenced yard and playing with Ranger. He felt right at home and was napping on the couch in no time. We enjoyed getting updates when we were away and felt confident that Eli was in good hands. Very experienced family of pet sitters. Would recommend and hope they are available again to watch Eli.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their routine, and I do my best to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’m reliable, attentive, and always treat every dog with care and patience. I maintain a very flexible routine and am home the majority of the day. I do volunteer a few hours daily, but I’m otherwise available to care for pets, provide attention, and keep them on their normal schedule. Dogs in my care will have a stable environment, regular potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every dog in my care. I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and kept in a clean, secure space where they can relax and feel at home.

“Great guy! Worked well with my dogs. I would use him again.”

About: I've taken care of and owned many dogs over the years. I have had pets all of my life, dogs, cats, fish, turtles, guinea pigs...you name it! Neighbors, friends and family have continuously entrusted my wife and I to care for their pets. We will board only one family’s dog(s) at a time so you can be sure they get the attention they need. Our four kids are age 7-13 and will also provide extra attention and playtime for your dog. With six in the household you can rest assured knowing your dog will have attention at all times. Our 4 acre yard provides ample space for leashed exploring and there is abundant wildlife in the area providing new smells to investigate. Your dog will be walked a minimum of once in the morning and once at night with bathroom breaks every 2-4 hours or as needed. During the week my wife and I have the ability to work from home to provide care for your dog during the day. We do require dogs to potty trained and not have a history of aggression. They also need to be trained to not chew on non toys unless they are still puppies which we fully understand and can work with! We look forward to having an opportunity to meet you and keeping you pets well loved! No matter what our day looks like, there is always someone available to provide the attention and consistency of car for your dog(s), which is the number one priority. We also have a furnished basement that can be closed off if needed. Or a quiet capped garage and workshop room depending on the sleeping arrangements your dog is accustomed to. If you could please let me know of any special needs your dog may require or want.

About: I’m new to this site, but I have had the pleasure of owning several dogs. I have dealt with multiple dog personalities, so i'd say I have the knowledge to address many types of dogs. I am a very active person, so I would be glad to give your dog a workout. I look forward to seeing my furry counterparts! I am available to dog walk/ take care of pets during the week day, after 9 pm. On Friday and Saturday, I am able to pet sit. On Sunday, I am able to offer any service aside from pet sitting or pet boarding. I am able to feed, provide water, bathe, and walk pets. I am also able to brush pets, and play with them. If the pets come to my house, and the weather is not cooperating, I have space for them to safely and comfortably reside in.

“Jacqueline took great care of Sammy. She’s a loving pet sitter. HIGHLY recommend!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Family and friends rely on me to watch their dogs overnight, feed and give them love. I’m currently not working, so I will have tons of time to play and care for your pups. I’m available for boarding through out the week. I can give your dogs walks and have plenty of time for play. I would give your dog the same love as if it was my own.

About: I worked at a doggy daycare for almost 3 years & will take care of them as they are my own. I love dogs of any age! I am a student in college, so I have a flexible schedule. I am free most days and would love to take care of your pet! I can easily crate your dog if needed and ensure that their needs are taken care of. I’ve worked with a ton of different breeds so I am familiar with most!
