“Michelle did an excellent job taking care of my dogs. She was reliable and caring, and I highly recommend her services. Notably, she went above and beyond when she noticed my older dog had developed a sore that required a vet visit. I truly appreciate Michelle for taking him to the vet and ensuring he received the necessary care. Having her do the drop-in visits was a much better option for my dogs compared to boarding. We will definitely use her services again.”
About: I have had a dog to take care of my whole life! I even worked a vet clinic for a while until I got pregnant and had to stop working to take care of my baby. I have also cared for neighbors dogs in the past in their homes and some had medical needs such as pills every day :) I am a stay at home mom, so I am always home unless of course there are groceries to buy and errends to run. But I have a dog room that would keep your pets and mine safe until I return. All I ask is that if you are picking up or dropping off on Sundays that it be before 11am or after 4pm. 😃 I have a big yard the dogs can play in and a dog room that I can bring them into at night. I am available to play with them at any time and take care of their needs whatever they may be.
About: I’ve had my rescued dog for 8 years and a rescued cat for 3 years. I love animals and treat my fur babies like family with all my love and company. I currently work from home, so I have lots of flexibilities to accommodate your fur family. I'm usually home with my pets except a few hours at a time to run errands. I have a medium sized dog and a cat at home. They are friendly to new friends. The backyard is unfenced, my dog enjoys running and sniffing around. Your fur-baby will have potty breaks in the backyard supervised and will have so much play time there.
“Catherine is great helper for our family. A few days before leaving she came by our home so I can give her a quick introduction to the cats and how to feed them. In addition I had to give her extra instructions as to when to let our contractor who needed to work inside the house while I was gone. She updated us with texts as to how the cats were doing. I liked that. I really appreciate Catherine and will definitely hire her again.”
About: For more than 25 years, I have specialized in providing exceptional care tailored specifically to the unique needs, quirks, and behaviors of cats. I understand that cats aren't just small dogs—they require a completely different approach rooted in patience, respect for their boundaries, and an intuitive understanding of feline body language. Over the last 25+ years, I have dedicated myself to mastering the art of keeping cats safe, stress-free, and content while their owners are away. Whether your cat is a social butterfly who demands interactive playtime, a senior feline requiring a gentle touch and strict medical routine, or a timid rescue who prefers to observe from a safe distance, I adapt my approach entirely to their comfort level. What Sets Me Apart: *Decades of Feline Expertise: With 25+ years of experience, I am highly skilled at reading subtle feline cues. I know how to earn the trust of shy or anxious cats, how to engage high-energy breeds, and how to spot early signs of stress or illness. *Medication & Senior Care Proficient: I have extensive experience administering oral medications, managing specialized diets, and keeping up with the meticulous routines required for senior, diabetic, or special-needs cats. *Respect for Boundaries: I never force interactions. I allow cats to approach me on their own terms, providing affection when wanted and space when needed, which significantly reduces their separation anxiety. *Meticulous Home & Litter Care: I maintain a clean, odor-free environment, ensuring litter boxes are scooped exactly to your standards and feeding areas remain pristine to keep your cat's routine perfectly consistent. I know how stressful it can be to leave your feline family members behind. My priority is providing you with total peace of mind through detailed updates, photos, and the absolute highest standard of care. I look forward to treating your cats like the royalty they are!

About: I’ve had the pleasure of being a dog hiker for over 150 dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—some of them during overnight stays or day visits as well. My background in hiking with dogs has taught me how to build quick trust, understand different energy levels, and create a calm, safe environment—whether we’re out on a walk or curled up at home. I treat every dog like they’re my own—whether we’re exploring a trail, walking through the neighborhood, or just hanging out at home. I’m reliable, calm, and genuinely love spending time with animals. You can count on me to show up, stay in tune with your pet’s needs, and communicate clearly with you. Let me know how I can help give your dog some adventure, love, and attention while you’re away! I hike dogs for a living so I can usually create my own schedule so I am totally willing to work with your preferences and needs. I always make sure every dog gets adequate exercise and outside time.

My husband is also home throughout the day to help if needed. With two dogs and cats around we are very accustomed to caring for animals each day. We understand what it’s like to leave a dog with someone and the stress that can sometimes put on them. We can offer your pet their own separate room to eat or sleep if that will help them. If they are very social, they’ll have our two dogs to play with, sleep by and be around. Our dogs are very much apart of our family and we love to take them hiking, to the lake etc. if you request it, we’d love to take your dog with us. As far as a routine goes, we are happy yo accommodate what your dog needs and is used to.

About: I grew up with 3 border collies in my home, so I’ve been helping with pet care for as long as I can remember. My husband and I adopted Penny, our sweet Australian Shepherd, two years ago and we have loved every second. I have never met a dog I didn’t love. I have often been told I have a knack for comforting anxious dogs. I work from home, so my schedule is fairly flexible during work hours. I often take my dog on a walk before work and in the evening after work. I’m flexible to leave work as needed and take dogs out as often as needed. I have a friendly Australian Shepherd who loves to play to keep your dog(s) company. My fur baby no longer uses her crate, so we have a crate that can be used for your dog when they visit if they like it. My husband is home in the evening after work to help with pet care.
About: I’ve probably been taking care of dogs longer than 8 years!

I have a fenced in backyard, plenty of space for your pups to play free. We have 2 cats but they do their own thing and won’t be a problem. They don’t like dogs but they won’t hurt them haha they just stay away. I make sure that your pups will always have the best care and attention! I love playing fetch the most!

“We have used Amanda and Cody several times. We are grateful for the love and care they show our dog Lucy. We received pictures and updates daily. Highly recommend them.”
“Rebeca gave great care to my Kobe❤️ I got updated daily via text with how he was doing along with a photo of my dog. I’m so glad Kobe got along well with Rebeca's dog Nico. I felt at ease leaving my Kobe with Rebeca, since it did help that I requested to meet her and her daughter a couple weeks before my dog’s scheduled stay. I will definitely recommend Rebeca to my friends and family! Thank you!!!”
“Mary was great. She was able to administer my dogs antibiotics with no problem, sent pictures regularly, responded to messages within a Timely manner. I put in wrong dates when booking and she was easy to fix my mistake. Would highly recommend her!”
“Really felt comfortable leaving our old boy Bentley, with Marissa. I was a bit concerned at first because Marissa has a dog and three cats of her own. As an older dog, Bentley prefers to sleep and pretty much, just be left alone, but the animals got along just fine. I could instantly tell at our introduction meeting that Marissa is an animal lover with a very kind heart. While we were away, Marissa took pictures of the dogs interacting and taking walks ... apparently, many walks ... and sending them to me regularly. Upon return, when I picked Bentley up, Marissa said "I thought you said that Bentley was kind of lay-back and just wanted to sleep. But, he was the first one up waiting to go outside to play and explore". I really appreciate the great job Marissa did with Bentley during our nine-day trip. I had such peace of mind that our dog was being loved and cared for. I would VERY MUCH like to use Marissa's boarding services again, next time we travel.”
About: I’ve had my rescued dog for 8 years and a rescued cat for 3 years. I love animals and treat my fur babies like family with all my love and company. I currently work from home, so I have lots of flexibilities to accommodate your fur family. I'm usually home with my pets except a few hours at a time to run errands. I have a medium sized dog and a cat at home. They are friendly to new friends. The backyard is unfenced, my dog enjoys running and sniffing around. Your fur-baby will have potty breaks in the backyard supervised and will have so much play time there.
About: For more than 25 years, I have dedicated myself to providing exceptional care for pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. What started as a lifelong passion for animals has evolved into decades of hands-on experience in pet sitting, dog walking, and overnight care. Over the last 25+ years, I have built a reputation based on absolute reliability, deep empathy, and a thorough understanding of animal behavior. Whether your pet is a high-energy puppy who needs structured exercise, an older companion requiring a gentle touch and strict medication schedules, or a shy rescue who needs time and patience to warm up, I adapt my approach to fit their unique personality. What Sets Me Apart: *Decades of Expertise: With 25+ years of experience, there are very few situations I haven't encountered. I am highly adept at reading animal body language, preventing stressful situations, and keeping pets calm, safe, and content. *Medication & Senior Care Specialization: I am fully comfortable administering oral medications, following precise dietary guidelines, and managing the specialized routines of senior or special-needs pets. *Flawless Reliability & Professionalism: I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful. My priority is your peace of mind. I maintain open communication, provide frequent and detailed updates with photos, and strictly adhere to your home and pet care rules. When your pets are under my care, they aren’t just being looked after—they are treated with the same respect, love, and attentiveness that I would demand for my own. I look forward to giving your furry family members a safe, comfortable, and joyful experience! Full-Time Presence & Flexible Care: Because I work from home full-time, my schedule revolves entirely around being present and available. I am here all day long, which means your pet won’t have to endure long hours of solitude. Working from home allows me to seamlessly blend my professional day with high-quality pet care, ensuring a consistent, reassuring human presence for your furry family member. What This Means for Your Pet: *All-Day Companionship & Supervision: Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks and a midday walk, or your cat loves curling up next to my laptop, I am around to provide companionship, monitoring, and affection throughout the day. *Strict Routine Adherence: Pets thrive on consistency. Because I don’t have a daily commute, I can strictly adhere to your pet's specific feeding windows, exercise routines, and medication schedules exactly when they expect them. *Perfect for Puppies, Seniors, & Special Needs: Being home all day allows me to easily manage the demanding schedules of energetic puppies who need structured attention, or senior pets who require extra bathroom breaks and close monitoring. *Flexible Breaks Dictated by Their Needs: My workflow allows me to take regular breaks to stretch my legs, play fetch in the yard, refresh water bowls, or simply offer some belly rubs, matching my daily rhythm to your pet's natural routine. Whether your pet is high-energy and needs active engagement or is a couch potato who just wants a human in the room, my work-from-home setup provides a safe, attentive, and highly flexible environment for their care. Uncompromising Safety Backed by Decades of Experience: With over 25 years of pet care experience, safety isn't just a checklist for me—it is an instinct. I understand that entrusting your beloved pet and your home to someone else requires immense trust. My priority is providing a secure, predictable, and hazard-free environment where your pet can relax and thrive, whether they are staying with me or I am visiting them in your home. Because I work from home and am here all day long, your pet is never left unsupervised for extended periods. This constant presence is the ultimate safety net, allowing me to monitor health, prevent separation anxiety, and immediately respond to any needs. Safety Protocol in My Home: *Constant Supervision: Working from home means eyes-on care. Pets are never left to roam unmonitored, and I maintain a highly structured environment to prevent any resource guarding or behavioral friction. *Pet-Proofed Spaces: My home is meticulously organized to ensure all cords, medications, toxic plants, and household hazards are entirely out of reach. *Secure Transitions: Doors and gates are strictly managed. I treat entryways with extreme caution to ensure "door-bolters" have zero opportunity to escape. Safety Protocol in Your Home: *Respect & Discretion: I treat your home with the utmost reverence, maintaining a clean space, securing all locks and alarms, and ensuring your privacy is fully protected. *Strict Adherence to Your Rules: I follow your exact instructions regarding off-limit rooms, crating, feeding, and neighborhood walking routes to keep your pet’s environment completely consistent. *Emergency Preparedness: Before you leave, I gather all emergency contacts, vet information, and preferred animal hospital locations so I am fully prepared for any scenario. Building Trust Through Transparency: I believe that communication is the foundation of trust. I am incredibly accessible. You can expect regular, detailed updates alongside plenty of photos and videos, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I care for every animal with the same vigilance, respect, and deep affection that I would demand for my own.
“Becky did a great job taking care of our older dog. She stayed at our home and left it pristine! Becky also provided regular updates to make sure we knew our pup was doing well. We were so thankful to know Winston was in the care of a real dog lover.”
