“Wendy is wonderful! They have a very professional setup, from air conditioned kennels, to individual kennels/runs for each dog, and keeping us informed on how the dogs were doing during their stay. When we picked up our dogs up they were happy and healthy. I will definitely be a returning customer!”
“We are so pleased with the attention and love that Kim and Dave have given to our dog. I am not certain that she missed us very much. She felt right at home within minutes of meeting them prior to being boarded there. It was so wonderful to feel secure leaving her with people that truly care about her comfort and happiness. They are great with sharing photos and responding to messages and sharing daily photos too. We will be using them again for future needs.”
“Mikey took great care of our bernedoodle, Mocha. Mocha was walked & cared for like a member of Mikey’s family. Mikey sent pictures & video updates of Mocha during her stay. I would highly recommend Mikey to care for your dog!”
“My dog Artie is in a very good mood after staying with Travis and his family in their cozy house. He also looks pretty happy on all the nice pictures shared by Travis and, certainly, would love to visit his new friends again. I fully share Artie's feelings and strongly recommend to anyone looking for a great dog care opportunity to get in touch with Travis.”
“My dog seemed happy during her stay while we were vacationing in the area. Heidi had great communication with quick responses and accommodated the times we needed for drop off and pick up. I appreciated the pictures she sent. It was nice to have our dog with a family rather than in a kennel. Would recommend and use again if we head that way. Thank you!”
“The Best Dog Sitter Experience. Ashley and her family were Amazing. They treated our dog Rosie like their own. Rosie normally has anxiety and doesn’t eat at the kennel or when we are away. She had not of that with Ashley and Robbie. They were so concerned about her wellbeing. They kept us updated with regular posts and videos and pics. In fact, I was a little worried that Rosie might not want to come home. We will definitely use Ashely again, and never kennel if we can help it.”
“Shaunett was amazing! She took wonderful care of our pup! Each day I received updates with how our dog was doing while we were away, the activities they did together— like playtime, walks and car rides— all of which our dog loves! Shaunett sent several photos and we could see how much our dog was enjoying their time together. I’m looking forward to having Shaunett watch our pup in the future— so much so that I will likely adjust my dates to meet her availability!!! Thank you!!”
“Our dog Sam had an amazing experience staying with Isabelle and Fred. It was short notice, and they made it an amazing experience throughout. They took such good care of him, even made him Christmas dog treats! Highly recommend”
“Suzanne and her family took great care of my timid Brittany. We had never been separated before, and it was only the 2nd time in her 6 years of life that she spent nights away from home. Suzanne's son spent a lot of time with her, coaxing her into trusting him and feeling safe with the new situation. Suzanne sent me pictures and text updates, letting me know how my dog was doing at settling in with them. By the time I returned from my trip, Jolie was feeling at home with Suzanne and her family. My ability to enjoy my vacation with my family was made possible by the care and attentiveness Suzanne focused on my dog. I would definitely board Jolie with Suzanne again. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a good, caring home environment for their dog when they have to leave them for a while.”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet professional with 11 years of experience in veterinary medicine, certification in dog training, and active board member to a local animal shelter. So caring for animals is truly my passion and profession. My background allows me to provide a level of attention, safety, and knowledge that goes far beyond typical pet sitting. I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including puppies who are still learning the basics, senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care, and pets who require medications or special routines. I’m also happy to reinforce training, structure, and good manners during my visits so your dog stays consistent with what they’re learning at home. Your pet’s health, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and routines so pets feel secure and stress-free while you’re away. Because of my veterinary background, I’m also experienced in monitoring for health concerns and administering medications when needed. Whether your pet needs playtime, structured walks, training reinforcement, or calm companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I strive to give owners peace of mind through communication, reliability, and professional-level care. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐶🐾 With my current schedule, I wake up early to make sure every dog’s needs are met—whether that’s potty breaks, medication administration, or starting the day on a calm routine. After I return home from work, I spend plenty of time with the dogs for play, exercise, enrichment activities, and their regular feeding routine. My home environment is structured, calm, and designed with dogs’ safety and comfort in mind. With my background in veterinary medicine and dog training, I focus on maintaining clear routines and a low-stress environment so dogs settle in quickly and feel secure. Dogs staying with me follow a consistent daily routine that includes potty breaks, enrichment, rest time, and play. Structure helps dogs relax and prevents overstimulation, which is especially important for puppies, high-energy dogs, or dogs who thrive on predictability. I have a large backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time for exercise, play, and mental stimulation. Playtime is always monitored to ensure dogs stay safe and comfortable. For safety and proper rest, I also have Impact Kennels available for structured downtime. Crate time is used as a positive, calm space for dogs to decompress, eat meals, or sleep—similar to the routines many trainers and veterinary professionals recommend. For dogs that enjoy extra activity, I also offer optional hikes and adventure walks, providing additional exercise and enrichment depending on the dog’s energy level and owner preferences. Every dog is different, so I tailor care to their personality, energy level, and routine to help them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.
“Ziggy had a great time with Leaha and Snowy! She was accommodating with pick up & drop-off and sent lots of updates. I highly recommend Leaha and plan to use her in the future.”
“Boone had sooo much fun at Rebeccas! Their home has so much area for the dogs to run and be outside, it made me feel so good knowing he was outside so much! She was very responsive and sent lots of pics! I will definitely be using Rebecca again!”
“Stephanie was beyond fantastic! She was incredibly responsive and gave great check ins on how my pup was doing. She is incredibly kind, patient and caring to both pup and owner alike. I find myself so lucky to have found her! 10/10 would recommend.”

About: Hello! We are looking to help people out in our free time with pet care. Please let us know a few times you are available for a meet and greet before hand to ensure it is a good fit! We have two cats and one dog; and between the two of us have many years of experience with cats, puppies and senior dogs. We will be on time, provide lots of photos while you are away, and be certain to follow your instructions exactly as written. We look forward to meeting you and your pets! Between the two of us, we are very flexible. Our only routine is walking our dog in the morning and evening, and feeding our animals twice per day. We have a fenced backyard, and let our pets go out when they want, but mostly they stay inside. We take our dog on two walks daily. We will follow whatever direction you have. Because of our cats, we can only accept small dogs into our home for boarding, but can go to your home as needed.
“Kara was excellent with our Golden Retriever, puppy. We were so lucky to have her take care of him. You could tell she truly cared about animals. She had a perfect place for our dog to stay with a great fenced in backyard. If we are in the area again we will contact Kara!”

About: “I genuinely enjoy working with all types of animals and take great care to understand their individual needs and comfort levels. My goal is to build a trusting relationship with your cats so you can feel confident and at ease when they’re in my care.”
“Mellany did a fantastic job taking care of our “spoiled” cat, Nin. She was extremely conscientious regarding her feeding and schedule. Mellany exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend her based on our experience. We would not hesitate requesting her services in the future.”
About: Cats aren't just "easier" than dogs—they're complex, perceptive creatures who notice everything, especially when their routine is disrupted. My approach to cat care is rooted in understanding that cats thrive on consistency, respect for their boundaries, and someone who actually pays attention to their subtle communication. I've cared for cats of all personalities over the past 13 years—from the social butterflies who greet you at the door to the shy ones who need days to warm up, and everything in between. What sets me apart is that I don't rush the relationship. I let cats come to me on their terms, and I've learned to read their body language so well that I can tell when a "hiding" cat is stressed versus just observing, or when a change in litter box habits signals something more serious. What I bring to cat care: ✓ Medication administration – pills, liquids, injections, subcutaneous fluids, eye drops, ear medications ✓ Special dietary needs – timed feedings, prescription diets, food puzzles, picky eaters ✓ Litter box expertise – yes, I actually care about litter boxes! Multiple boxes, special substrates, and monitoring for health changes ✓ Senior cat care – arthritis management, kidney disease support, comfort-focused care ✓ Shy or anxious cats – patient, calm approach that respects their need for space ✓ Medical monitoring – recognizing early signs of illness, URI symptoms, behavioral changes that indicate pain ✓ Multi-cat households – managing dynamics, separate feeding schedules, preventing resource guarding ✓ Interactive play sessions – not just food and water; I engage cats with play appropriate to their age and energy ✓ Grooming assistance – brushing long-haired cats, nail trims if your cat tolerates it I treat your home with respect—plants watered, mail collected, and your cat's environment kept exactly as they like it. You'll get regular updates (including photos if your cat cooperates!) so you know they're content and cared for. If you have a cat who needs more than just someone to "dump food and go," let's talk.
“Abby did a wonderful job of looking after my cat, Matisse. Abby gave her lovely company while we were gone, sent lots of pictures and clearly loves animals. I won’t hesitate to use her again next time we are out of town.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was 10. I have experience with puppy training and adult dog training. I’d love to help you have a stress free experience and take care of your fur babies! My schedule is very flexible! I’m currently a full time college student, so I will have plenty of time to help you out and give your fur babies all the loves! With my prior experience I understand the importance of set rules especially when it comes to training. I know that our fur babies mean everything to us. With me, your pets will be safe and well taken care of!
“From when she came out and did our initial meeting with the animals, I knew she was going to be a great fit on taking care of the animals. Our cats don’t warm up to new people quickly & they were instantly friendly. She did daily check ins on them. Always super thorough, played with the dogs and gave the kitties treats. I think our animals are actually disappointed we did not come home bearing treats after having an awesome pet sitter all week. Haha. I highly recommend Alexandrea. She did great with our crew. We’ve got two dogs and two cats. Age ranges from 1 year to 13 years old. She even did some light cleaning so we didn’t have to come home to hair covered floors.”
About: Hi there! My name is Autumn and I am a 33 year old certified veterinary technician! I've been around animals all my life and have worked in many capacities such as humane societies, vet clinics, grooming salons, daycares, and boarding facilities and I ran my own animal rescue for 7 years. By choosing to me to watch your pets, you are choosing comfort and safety with a RECOVER CPR certified technician. Boarding kennels can be terrifying for many animals and if you have a special needs animal, this can be even more worrisome. With us, you know your pet is getting whatever specialized care and socialization it needs while you're away. I have cared for many animals near the end of their lives as well and take careful concern for those needing specialized care so you can go out of town without worrying about your pet, even with illness, medications, or very particular needs. I am a full time veterinary technician, so I have the ability to take dogs to work if needed. We spend days off hiking and making sure they get the exercise they need. I have a fenced yard to keep everyone safe. They are always on leash and I have the ability to crate everyone if needed. I have a lot of experience managing different dog behaviors.
About: We have two cats of our own; and understand that cats need love too while you are gone! We are happy to check in on them, clean the litter box, keep their water bowls full, and provide lots of cuddles!
About: I am a stay at home mom of two awesome kiddos, one handsome border collie(Steve) and a large orange furry feline(Samson). We also have a couple of rowdy goats and a flock of beloved chickens. We are blessed to live on a heavenly bit of land (40 acres) with woods, ponds and creeks. It truly is a bit of paradise. We love animals here and thought, "Why not share our blessings with the critters of our community?" If you need care for pet so they are not alone all day and dont want them caged in kennel all day please give us a call! We have a fenced yard if your should need it and plenty of space for them to safely explore. I am available all day to help with the difficult potty training of some of our tiniest fur babies:) I look forward to meeting you!
About: I’ve had animals my whole life! I would volunteer at my aunt's clinic during summer/ winter! I would also watch my sisters big/ small dogs all year-round while in school.

They add extra happiness and fulfill my every week. when around dogs I will not take my eye off them! I will always listen to the instructions given by the owner. I know what pets need with every service!
“Cheyenne did a great job taking care of our cat “Leo” while we were gone. She answered our request promptly and came the same day for meet and instructions. Thanks to her our plants stayed alive while we were gone in the almost 100 degree heat because she did some watering as well and we really appreciated that. Leo seemed well taken care of when we returned.”
About: Hello! I have been a cat lover for my whole life. I have also owned cats of my own for the majority of my time on earth. I am familiar with their many personalities, attitudes, energy levels based on age, as well as care dependent on breed. I have two kitties of my own now, and they are literally my spoiled children.
About: I've worked with many breeds of dogs. Mostly small to mid-size dogs with a variety of traits. Mostly working dogs namely Blue Heelers & Huskys. I tend to live an active lifestyle and that means hiking/walking/and lots of exercise. Rest assured both me and your pooch will be getting a good workout! In the past I've facilitated overnight lodging for dogs, and temporary stays of up to a few days. Be noted I do not currently have a large open or fenced in yard. I work with neighbors and friends pets on quite a regular basis! I regularly feed, train, walk & care for pets when away or on business! I work from home so this environment provides a perfect spot for pets to be nurtured & played with consistently! I always check prior to booking any special exercise and or dietary needs of your pet. Ensuring door remain locked when inside and timer's are set for when pets receive food upon client preference. Safety is of the upmost priority, so I will discuss a full plan and schedule so you know where you pup is and his progress while away. I will send regular check in photos to provide accountability for myself and the clients well being.
About: During Covid, I was laid off and it turned into a wonderful experience of being able to dog sit. I was watching 5 dogs on a regular basis, feeding, playing, napping, and loving on each and every one of them. I absolutely love dogs, I have taken care of small to big dogs and they are all my favorite!! I worked at an animal shelter and gained a lot of animal knowledge and experience from there I am currently working a full time job Monday through Friday until 3PM, with occasional weekend shifts. I am able to do drop in, house sitting, and walkings in the afternoons. I can provide lots of love, attention, and stimulation to your pets. I am very active but also love to relax and provide cuddles if your pet is more on the mellow side of activity. I am happy to clean up any messes, and follow any particular instructions of care you may have for your pet.
“Alissa was so awesome and took great care of our kitten Phoebe. She was great at sending updates and photos and her communication was fantastic and quick. I felt so at ease leaving our baby over the long weekend with her and would happily do so again!”
About: All my life I have had a pets in my home, I grew up with my mother working as a veterinarian so we had everything ranging from dogs, cats, reptiles and birds, therefore, I am not shy or timid around any animal and I know what I’m doing. I am new to the area but I have pet sat multiple times for other families in the past weather that be staying at their house or just stopping by every now and then and even just dog walking, I’m experienced with it all! I am willing to go above and beyond for your pet and can work with any of their or your needs. I’ve just moved to the area to live with my boyfriend. We leave in mid January for 6 weeks on a trip but until then I am fully available to help in any way needed especially through the holidays! I would say my best asset is my experience dealing with senior pets. In the past 5 years I’ve dealt with 3 senior pets and given them the extra care and attention needed to help them stay comfortable and happy in their old age.

“Mikey was so kind, patient, and knowledgeable! I am convinced our trip would not have been nearly as pleasant with a dog along without her help! It felt like our pup made friends for life and we all did as well! If we come back, there’s nothing we’d do differently! Including getting Mikey’s tips on food, dog advice, and assistance! We can’t thank her enough! 💕”
“Thank you, Travis and your family, for taking care of Henry and Lucca. You always communicate promptly and take great care of them. We are thankful to find someone in the area who we feel certain will take care of our boys.”
“Abby was amazing with Charlie! He loved going to her house for day care, got along well with her dog, Julia, and they had fun adventures every day. He would come home and just sleep. I will definitely use Abby in the future.”
About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals, from dogs and cats to just about every creature you’d find on a ranch. That upbringing gave me a natural understanding of different personalities and needs, and a deep love for them all. I’m comfortable caring for pets who need extra attention, whether that’s administering medication, supporting a disability, or helping a shy or nervous animal feel safe. My gentle, quiet nature helps animals relax and settle in, so they can truly feel at home while you’re away. As a work-from-home freelancer, my schedule is wide open, giving me the flexibility to care for your pets whenever they need me, day or night. I have a big, fully fenced backyard, including an amazing dog run in case they need some alone time or need to be away from others. I also have an open home with plenty of room to take long naps in the sun.
“Madison was wonderful! From the moment we met her, we could tell our dog was in great hands. She has such a welcoming, genuine, and caring personality, and it was clear she truly loves dogs. She took amazing care of our dog and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We feel very lucky to have found her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic dog sitter. 🐾”
“We were so happy with Kelly & Tyler‘s daycare for our dog Jessie!! Jessie had so much fun and plenty of room to run. We received photos and updates during the day and they were flexible with pick up time. I would never hesitate to leave our pup with Kelly & Tyler in the future.”

“We recently moved from Coeur D'Alene, and Carolyn & Sarah kept Buddy for us while we were packing and cleaning. They are the most wonderful dog sitters--and wonderful people. Buddy was always so excited to get there and worn out when we came to pick him up. He absolutely loved them. We highly reccommend them to everyone. One of the most difficult things we will have to do in our new community is to find a dogsitter for Buddy who will provide the love and care he received from Carolyn and Sarah. Their home was his home away from home. We thank them so much and will truly miss them. Buddy, Linda, and Steve”
“Stephanie took amazing care of our pup while we were traveling through the area and had an activity planned where we couldn’t bring our dog. It’s hard to trust a stranger with our beloved pet but she made us feel at ease with a phone call first and then allowing us to visit her home to drop him off. We would definitely request her again if we are ever back in the area and needed pup care.”

About: I LOVE animals! Dogs, cats, goats, horses, rabbits, basically all of the furry friends! We've had dogs and cats my whole life (from puppies and kittens to grumpy old men dogs). I've taken care of many of my friends and families dogs in my home and in their homes. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time for your pets! My schedule changes regularly but I’m generally available anytime, just send me a message! I have six acres with trails for walking your dogs! I have an older, playful and friendly dog plus two dog savvy cats. I do not have a fenced area but will leash walk the dogs (or no leash at owners request). I have hard wood floors and stairs that may not be ideal for tripods or aging senior dogs (unless they’re used to that). I no longer have a kennel, but if you bring one and want your dog kenneled I can do that. Your pup will enjoy lots of pets, snuggles, play time both indoors and outdoors and of course treats (as approved by pet parents)!
About: I've had a love for animals since I was a kid and have previously fostered for the animal shelters because it brings me joy. I have 2 small fur babies of my own and I babysit my daughters miniature Schnauzer puppy during the week days. I work from home so my schedule is relatively open. I'm active so we enjoy walks and playing on our 12 acre property (during the summer). Our fur babies are never left unattended and we do keep them on leashes when they go outside on our property. During the winter I spend time spoiling our fur babies with lots of love, snuggles and indoor play time. I have 2 friendly small dogs (Arlo and Aveena) who love play dates. Our home is close to walking trails and we have plenty room for indoor activities.
“Great care for my energetic dog, sometimes hard to manage, dog! Erik sent me updates throughout the visit. He treated my dog as if it was his own in a very good way. I especially appreciated that he took my pup with him to the local coffee shop and socialized him a bit. Definitely recommend!!!”

I understand having someone new enter your families environment is super hard but I am here to keep your furry friends safe and do things at your pace.

I am blessed to have my son's help caring for our dogs, allowing me to provide in-home and overnight care if needed. The number one goal is to adapt personalized routines for your pets so they are happy and healthy.

About: I’ve lived on a farm my whole life. We mainly have Angora goats, chickens, ducks, and guardian dogs. However, we’ve also had the occasional sheep, dairy goat, guinea hen and even a llama. In the house we have a Vizsla, four cats, and salt water fish. In the past I have also had a gecko and a hedgehog. I am available from 11am to 2pm and after 5pm. My weekend availability varies as I have tournaments most weekends, but I am usually available all day on Sundays. I also am available full time during holiday breaks. I do not offer care at my house because I don’t want to risk any problems with my pets, but I am happy to come to your house or take your pets for walks!

(And if you’d like me to stay in your home, I will only stay in chemical-free homes - with no toxic-fragrance plug-ins, fragranced candles/sticks, Tide or other chemical detergents, Swiffer chemicals, dryer sheets, Mrs. Meyers toxic cleaning agents, Clorox, etc.). I have been house and animal sitting for neighbors, clients, family and friends since I was 10 years old - for over 30 years now - and I love doing it! Getting to spend time with precious pets is always a fun and joyful experience. I am dependable, responsible, fun-loving, clean and tidy. Being passionate about health and fitness, and also about making sure that your animals are happy, I take the dogs out for numerous walks, and on adventures each day, and I also spend time playing with them in my back yard. (I spend QT playing with cats when I cat-sit as well). I definitely go the extra mile to ensure that your pets have a fun, safe, interactive experience. I look forward to taking wonderful care of your abode, your plants and, of course, your furry angels- at either my house or your non-toxic home. Looking forward! Blessings and Gratitude, ~Abby I am a health coach, private tutor and comedian, so I make my own schedule. When I commit to caring for your animals, I revolve my human clients and projects around that care. I have a fenced-in yard, and a variety of toys to keep your dog safe and entertained while at my house. At your house, I intend to follow your directives and rules for your individual pets.
About: I have taken care of all pets of all ages since I was a child. I have experience with puppies to seniors with special needs. I am currently a self employed dog groomer and have 4 dogs of my own. I train and show an Old English Sheepdog. I am flexible so fitting in visits and walks is super easy to do! I have experience with training and dog behaviors. I can crate my pets or yours if needed. I have split fenced backyard and a large outdoor kennel. I believe in positive reinforcement and boundaries. I respect dog behaviors and special needs.
About: Hi pet parents 👋 A little bit about me - I grew up in Texas and have years of experience with caring for animals. I love spending time outdoors. You can find me snowboarding, paddle boarding, hiking, camping or rock climbing. 🧗 I work remotely and my schedule is flexible. I take my dog on 3 walks a day. In the mornings we take a 4 mile walk and are super active on the weekends going swimming and hiking. Multiples walks a day. I enjoy taking mine to the dog park and on hikes. We also don’t mind being lazy and cuddling on the couch :)
About: Hello! We are looking to help people out in our free time with pet care. Please let us know a few times you are available for a meet and greet before hand to ensure it is a good fit! We have two cats and one dog; and between the two of us have many years of experience with cats, puppies and senior dogs. We will be on time, provide lots of photos while you are away, and be certain to follow your instructions exactly as written. We look forward to meeting you and your pets! Between the two of us, we are very flexible. Our only routine is walking our dog in the morning and evening, and feeding our animals twice per day. We have a fenced backyard, and let our pets go out when they want, but mostly they stay inside. We take our dog on two walks daily. We will follow whatever direction you have. Because of our cats, we can only accept small dogs into our home for boarding, but can go to your home as needed.
About: Residential pet and property care is different than sending your animal to a boarding facility or relying on daily check-ins. With boarding, you can't guarantee your pet receives the individual attention they need or maintains their home routine. With quick visits, there's no real security presence or time to notice if something's wrong. As an independent pet and property caretaker, my mission is to provide estate-level care that gives you complete peace of mind—your pets stay comfortable in their own home, and your property is truly looked after, not just checked on. I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old—yes, 10! What started as a young girl's passion (slight obsession, honestly) turned into 13 years of trusted, professional pet care. I've cared for everything from easy-going family dogs to high-maintenance breeds requiring special medical attention, and for periods ranging from long weekends to month-long stays, including major holidays. What clients tell me sets me apart is my ability to really read animals—I pick up on subtle changes in behavior, body language, and those little cues that tell you something's off before it becomes a problem. I'm not just going through the motions; I genuinely love what I do, and that enthusiasm shows in how I care for your pets and home. Over the years, I've built long-lasting relationships with both pets and their owners because I treat every home like my own and every pet like family. My husband and I work as a team for overnight stays, which means double the attention, playtime, and eyes on your property. I specialize in situations that require extra care and attention: ✓ Special needs and senior pets – blind, deaf, mobility-challenged, or behaviorally complex animals ✓ Complex medication schedules – pills, injections, eye drops, you name it ✓ High-maintenance breeds – Breeds requiring special care, require extensive grooming, intense exercise, and dedicated training. ✓ Extended stays – comfortable caring for your pets for weeks or even months at a time ✓ Holiday care – I don't disappear during Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's when you need help most ✓ Medical monitoring – recognizing early signs of illness, decline, or distress ✓ Multi-pet households – managing different personalities, feeding schedules, and needs ✓ Emergency response – calm under pressure, quick to act if something goes wrong ✓ Anxious or reactive pets – patient, consistent care that helps nervous animals feel secure I maintain your home just as carefully—mail, plants, trash bins, security checks, and that "lived-in" presence that keeps your property safe. You'll receive regular photo and video updates so you can truly relax while you're away. If you're looking for someone who will love and protect your pets (and home) like their own, let's connect. Pet care isn't a side hustle for me—it's my primary focus and passion. My husband and I are entrepreneurs with flexible schedules, which means we can provide the kind of attentive, present care that pets truly need. For overnight stays, we're in your home from evening through the following morning (and throughout the day if needed), so your pets are never alone for extended periods. We don't juggle multiple clients at once or rush between appointments. When we commit to caring for your pets, they have our full attention for the duration of your trip. We're available for extended stays including weekends, holidays, and even month-long commitments. Because we work as a team, your pets benefit from having two consistent caregivers who can coordinate schedules, provide extra play sessions, and ensure someone is always nearby if needed. In Your Home: I've been around animals literally since I was an infant—they've always been my comfort, my joy, and honestly, my obsession. There's something about the presence of animals that just feels like home to me, and that's exactly the energy I bring to your pets and property. As the owner of a young, energetic Miniature Australian Shepherd, I know firsthand what it takes to meet the demands of intelligent, high-energy breeds. I'm devoted to keeping my own dog mentally stimulated, physically tired, and emotionally fulfilled—and I bring that same level of commitment to every pet in my care. Your pets aren't just a job to me; they're loved and treated with the same compassion and attention I give my own. Pet Safety & Care: ✓I follow your routines exactly—feeding times, medication schedules, exercise patterns, and house rules ✓Secure all doors, windows, and gates before letting pets outside (no escape artists on my watch!) ✓Keep toxic plants, foods, and hazards out of reach ✓Monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health ✓Have your vet information and emergency contacts readily accessible ✓Never introduce your pets to unfamiliar animals or people without permission ✓Provide the mental stimulation and physical activity your pets need to stay happy and healthy Home Security & Cleanliness: ✓Maintain a "lived-in" presence with lights, blinds, and your normal routine ✓Collect mail and packages to avoid signaling an empty home ✓Take trash bins to/from curb on collection days ✓Water plants and maintain your home's appearance ✓Provide regular photo/video updates so you can see everything (and everyone) is doing great ✓I pride myself on attention to detail and cleanliness—you'll come home to a thoroughly cleaned space that exceeds expectations Trust & Respect: I treat your home with the utmost respect—no unauthorized guests ever and I leave your space cleaner than I found it. My husband and I work as a team, which means your pets get double the love and your home gets double the oversight. The best part? When you walk through that door after your trip, your pets will be more giddy than ever to see you—well-exercised, well-loved, and so happy you're home. And you can relax knowing everything was handled with care.

“Wendy is wonderful! They have a very professional setup, from air conditioned kennels, to individual kennels/runs for each dog, and keeping us informed on how the dogs were doing during their stay. When we picked up our dogs up they were happy and healthy. I will definitely be a returning customer!”
“Mikey took great care of our bernedoodle, Mocha. Mocha was walked & cared for like a member of Mikey’s family. Mikey sent pictures & video updates of Mocha during her stay. I would highly recommend Mikey to care for your dog!”
“My dog Artie is in a very good mood after staying with Travis and his family in their cozy house. He also looks pretty happy on all the nice pictures shared by Travis and, certainly, would love to visit his new friends again. I fully share Artie's feelings and strongly recommend to anyone looking for a great dog care opportunity to get in touch with Travis.”
“My dog seemed happy during her stay while we were vacationing in the area. Heidi had great communication with quick responses and accommodated the times we needed for drop off and pick up. I appreciated the pictures she sent. It was nice to have our dog with a family rather than in a kennel. Would recommend and use again if we head that way. Thank you!”
“The Best Dog Sitter Experience. Ashley and her family were Amazing. They treated our dog Rosie like their own. Rosie normally has anxiety and doesn’t eat at the kennel or when we are away. She had not of that with Ashley and Robbie. They were so concerned about her wellbeing. They kept us updated with regular posts and videos and pics. In fact, I was a little worried that Rosie might not want to come home. We will definitely use Ashely again, and never kennel if we can help it.”
“Shaunett was amazing! She took wonderful care of our pup! Each day I received updates with how our dog was doing while we were away, the activities they did together— like playtime, walks and car rides— all of which our dog loves! Shaunett sent several photos and we could see how much our dog was enjoying their time together. I’m looking forward to having Shaunett watch our pup in the future— so much so that I will likely adjust my dates to meet her availability!!! Thank you!!”
“Our dog Sam had an amazing experience staying with Isabelle and Fred. It was short notice, and they made it an amazing experience throughout. They took such good care of him, even made him Christmas dog treats! Highly recommend”
“Suzanne and her family took great care of my timid Brittany. We had never been separated before, and it was only the 2nd time in her 6 years of life that she spent nights away from home. Suzanne's son spent a lot of time with her, coaxing her into trusting him and feeling safe with the new situation. Suzanne sent me pictures and text updates, letting me know how my dog was doing at settling in with them. By the time I returned from my trip, Jolie was feeling at home with Suzanne and her family. My ability to enjoy my vacation with my family was made possible by the care and attentiveness Suzanne focused on my dog. I would definitely board Jolie with Suzanne again. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a good, caring home environment for their dog when they have to leave them for a while.”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated pet professional with 11 years of experience in veterinary medicine, certification in dog training, and active board member to a local animal shelter. So caring for animals is truly my passion and profession. My background allows me to provide a level of attention, safety, and knowledge that goes far beyond typical pet sitting. I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including puppies who are still learning the basics, senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care, and pets who require medications or special routines. I’m also happy to reinforce training, structure, and good manners during my visits so your dog stays consistent with what they’re learning at home. Your pet’s health, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and routines so pets feel secure and stress-free while you’re away. Because of my veterinary background, I’m also experienced in monitoring for health concerns and administering medications when needed. Whether your pet needs playtime, structured walks, training reinforcement, or calm companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I strive to give owners peace of mind through communication, reliability, and professional-level care. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐶🐾 With my current schedule, I wake up early to make sure every dog’s needs are met—whether that’s potty breaks, medication administration, or starting the day on a calm routine. After I return home from work, I spend plenty of time with the dogs for play, exercise, enrichment activities, and their regular feeding routine. My home environment is structured, calm, and designed with dogs’ safety and comfort in mind. With my background in veterinary medicine and dog training, I focus on maintaining clear routines and a low-stress environment so dogs settle in quickly and feel secure. Dogs staying with me follow a consistent daily routine that includes potty breaks, enrichment, rest time, and play. Structure helps dogs relax and prevents overstimulation, which is especially important for puppies, high-energy dogs, or dogs who thrive on predictability. I have a large backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time for exercise, play, and mental stimulation. Playtime is always monitored to ensure dogs stay safe and comfortable. For safety and proper rest, I also have Impact Kennels available for structured downtime. Crate time is used as a positive, calm space for dogs to decompress, eat meals, or sleep—similar to the routines many trainers and veterinary professionals recommend. For dogs that enjoy extra activity, I also offer optional hikes and adventure walks, providing additional exercise and enrichment depending on the dog’s energy level and owner preferences. Every dog is different, so I tailor care to their personality, energy level, and routine to help them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.
“Ziggy had a great time with Leaha and Snowy! She was accommodating with pick up & drop-off and sent lots of updates. I highly recommend Leaha and plan to use her in the future.”
“Boone had sooo much fun at Rebeccas! Their home has so much area for the dogs to run and be outside, it made me feel so good knowing he was outside so much! She was very responsive and sent lots of pics! I will definitely be using Rebecca again!”
“Stephanie was beyond fantastic! She was incredibly responsive and gave great check ins on how my pup was doing. She is incredibly kind, patient and caring to both pup and owner alike. I find myself so lucky to have found her! 10/10 would recommend.”

“Kara was excellent with our Golden Retriever, puppy. We were so lucky to have her take care of him. You could tell she truly cared about animals. She had a perfect place for our dog to stay with a great fenced in backyard. If we are in the area again we will contact Kara!”
“Katie took great care of both of our pups for an extended weekend. You could tell both enjoyed their time playing with her dog, enjoying her home and backyard. We will definitely use Katie again!”
About: Raised around show dogs, with 15 years hands‑on training experience. Professional educator offering loving, dog‑only care—walks, enrichment, adventures, or calm indoor comfort, individually tailored. Huge Heart. Currently my schedule is very open for all work. If this does not fill the schedule, will need to adjust around other work. But this is my current priority. If other work is needed, pets still come first and receive 150% love, care, and attention. My doggy is on the rainbow bridge. It is just me in the home. I follow the owners rules and wishes. I want to keep to their training and routines. I don't want the owner coming home to a doggy with bad habits or upset tummy. I want to keep the same diet and structure. I'm a professional, certified teacher and past hospital worker. Absolutely love to love on doggies. I have over 50 five-star reviews on airbnb and lots of other references and letters of reference I can provide you.
About: Our home is full of dog lovers. I feel that they are a part of the family and will be loved and treated that way while here. Lots of love, walks, nature, snuggles, and presence. I have a house cleaning business as well and am only gone a few hrs a day. Hope your pet doesnt mind being home alone for short periods of time, if they have a kennel to feel safe im happy to provide that accommodation. I have a fenced yard and go for walks everyday, sometimes a few times a day depending on the energy of the group that is here! I really like to walk tubbs hill or around the golf course!
