“Thank you for another great stay and for treating Remi as part of the family! We are relieved she has a great time while we are away and and she comes home very happy and herself! She even got a new toy! Aaron is the best and we couldn’t ask for anything more, highly recommend!”
“5/5 🤩 Nansy is awesome! Very nice person and accommodating, helping us out in a pinch when our usual sitters fell thru. Our senior pupper needs special care, so it was a true relief when we met with Nansy and she asked a lot of questions, going the extra mile to make sure our pup had a comfortable stay. Would definitely book her again if needed. Thank you Nansy!!”
“Savanna and her family are great with my Ellie -- I so appreciate the updates she sends me. Ellie is definitely taken care of and is treated like one of the family. Pup sitters like them are hard to find and they are my go-to people !”
“We are very happy that Lucky has a chance to socialize with other dogs and people outside family. You are fantastic! I just couldn't see a place to message you to ask questions, so let me write here. This weekend, it turned out it'd be a day trip. So we'd like to swich from overnight boarding to a day-sitting. We don' t know the exact time of drop-off and pick-up, are you still available?”
About: I have never been without an animal in my life. I know the anxiety of leaving my babies and now as a retired teacher I can provide that same comfort to your baby if you need to leave them. I am a retired teacher and live on an acreage. I am home most of the time and spend a lot of time outside. I do have cats that are good with dogs. I have a young energetic mutt mix that looks like a mix of Yorkshire and Rat Terrier. I have 4 acres of invisible fence. I can train almost any dog to learn the boundaries. Or I can keep your dog on a leash when we go outside. We have no kids and have quite a relaxed home.
About: Have you ever wished you had someone who could take care of your pets like you do? Here I am!! My dogs are my babies! I have 2 Male Labradors named Tank and Nash! I have always struggled with finding someone I TRUST watching my pets, I want them to be treated how I treat them! With treats, toys and walks! I will be offering walks, potty breaks, treats (unless you have a pet with food restrictions please bring your own) if they are water babies I will take them swimming! I have a fully fenced in yard! Required: Please also provide documentation of vaccinations, and flea/tick/heart worm Required: Please make sure your dogs are friendly with other dogs before booking! **If looking to book where I need to stay at your home please take it into consideration me coming early in the morning or after work timeframe** I work from home Monday-Friday and weekends I am available. Please just make sure your pets are friendly. My dogs are not neutered. Thank you! My pets are supervised at ALL times since I work from home. We do have a fenced in area where the dogs can play outside. Dogs are allowed on the couch or dog bed. If you bring your own dog bed please make sure it is clean! If I am watching at someone’s home, I will make sure messes are cleaned along with treats given if told so. Along with walks, we like to take our dogs to Coyners dog park and let them play. If your dog is not friendly this is not the fit for you.
“Madison and her family were great with Thor. Will gladly book again in the future. She was worried about his non eating- as he does when I'm not around. I received great photo updates on him. She seemed to understand Thor and his personality. Thank you again:-)”

About: Hi I’m Lillie!!! I’m a reliable, attentive, and caring animal lover with 12 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve worked with puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, cats, and foster animals, and I truly love getting to know every animal’s unique personality and needs. I’ve helped train puppies, volunteered regularly at animal shelters walking dogs, and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I also have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and compassionate caring for your furry family members. I’m very responsible, responsive, patient, and detail-oriented, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel happy and cared for every step of the way. My goal is to become your furry best friend’s temporary best friend while you’re away! I also love providing photos, videos and update check-ins so you can feel relaxed knowing your pets are in good hands. I’m a very caring, attentive, patient, and reliable pet sitter who truly loves animals and treats every pet like my own. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets while you’re away, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for in their home environment. I work Monday–Friday from 8 AM–5 PM with an hour-long break during the day, which allows me flexibility for check-ins, walks, feedings, potty breaks, and quality time with your pets throughout the day. Before and after work, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care, and I always prioritize keeping owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. I’m very responsive, detail-oriented, and committed to following your pet’s routine closely so they feel happy, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. Animals have always had a huge place in my heart, and caring for them comes very naturally to me. I care deeply for my own pets and always make sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for every single day. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same level of love, patience, attention, and compassion that I give my own. One of the most important things to me while pet sitting is keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, walk times, medications, playtime, bedtime routines, or simply giving them the comfort and companionship they’re used to, I always prioritize making pets feel secure and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m very attentive and detail-oriented when it comes to animal care, and your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priority. My goal is to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment where both pets and owners feel completely comfortable and at ease.

About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets over the years, including dogs of all ages.

What sets me apart is my attention to detail and calm, caring nature. I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to learn their personality. I’m reliable, communicative, and always go the extra mile to make sure both pets and their owners feel comfortable. I fit pet care into my routine during my free time, usually in the mornings and evenings during the week, and more flexible on weekends. I ensure a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I build trust through gentle handling, consistent routines, and lots of affection. I follow specific care instructions and prioritize the pet’s comfort and well-being.
