“Amy is an outstanding pup sitter! We'd give her 10 stars if we could. She's super communicative and quick to respond to questions. While we were on our trip, she sent two or three updates, with photos, each day. It was fun to watch our pup settle in with her care. She provides exercise, tons of playtime, and cuddles. Definitely will call on Amy to watch our pup again! Thanks so much, Amy!”
“Teddy had such a wonderful time, I can tell he really enjoyed his stay and Rich was super accommodating and communicated regularly with updates and pictures and videos. I would 100% recommend”
“Melissa is amazing! We unexpectedly had to leave our puppy while we went out of town for the holiday. She was so warm and accommodating! We felt very comfortable leaving him and highly recommend her. We will definitely be utilizing her services in the future. Thank you Melissa!”
“This was our 3rd time using Rover - 1st time with Bob & Vicky. We will never leave Harley & Fletcher with anyone else! Sitting for a rambunctious puppy and senior dog at the same time is not for the faint of heart! They loved all the walks and play time with Jax. Multiple pics & videos each day showed us that our pups were having fun and comfortable. It made our week away so much more relaxing ? Thanks so much Bob & Vicky!”
“Ashley and her family took incredible care of my dog while I was out of town. They sent me daily updates of how he was doing and made him feel so welcomed in their home!”
“Allison is such an angel! She cared for my baby Max through his worst days of having cancer. Thank you for all the love and care you showed Max through this difficult time, we both appreciate you so much! ❤️🩹🙏🏼”
“In home style Kennel. Our three mid-sized Eurasiers can be very reserved with new people, but they got on with Gabby right from the start, and were as busy loving on her as we left as they left as they were with me. Two of our dogs need special diets and medications, and that was handled as part of the bid contract- no extra fees. We even got pictures and reports emailed to us on the road! The dogs returned without a kennel smell: something I've never experienced before. I highly recommend Gabby as a kennelmaster.”
“I would definitely have John and Jessica watch Jasper whenever we are out of town! They sent updates and photos each day and I knew Jasper was happy, safe, and getting plenty of exercise while we were gone. They also gave us a cute gift bag with a toy, Polaroid of Jasper, and other goodies which was very sweet.”
“Such an amazing experience, our pup was cared for so well he hardly wanted to go home! We received daily updates so we knew he was having a great time with sweet dogs and awesome caregivers. 10/10!”
“Lindsay was amazing!!! Our 5 month old puppy stayed with her for over a week and it was the best experience. She worked with her on some basic training, got her to sleep in a crate and sent daily pictures and updates! We will definitely use her again in the future!!”
“Alyssa and Jacob were amazing hosts! Will definitely use them again for Fritz. Great communication. We got a lot of updates and he looked like he had a blast! Came back very happy which was nice to see as Fritz can be nervous and shy in new places!”
“I couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care our Tasha provided for my two dogs, Miss Tucker and Dobby. From the start, communication was excellent, and I received daily photos and updates that showed how comfortable and happy they were. Miss Tucker and Dobby are full of energy, but Tasha was able to match their personalities and energy perfectly. They even took them on regular walks, which they absolutely love! It meant so much knowing they were getting exercise, attention, and lots of love while I was away. Coming home to two calm, happy pups said everything. It’s never easy leaving your dogs, but I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. I will definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
“We are so happy with our experience using Haley for boarding! She has a cute dog that got along well with ours. She communicated promptly with us and sent lots of pictures.”

“Rebecca is such a sweet and genuine soul who our boys love to see when she lets them out in the middle of the day! She is punctual, respectful, great with our pups, sends pics, thorough updates, and is just a wonderful person all around! Highly recommend!”
“First time meeting Beverly was amazing. Our cat Bella is very shy. Bella came out while we were talking and was looking at Bev, taking it all in. It was such a comfort to have Bev here with Bella. I was more relaxed knowing Bella wasn't alone. The house was immaculate. Bella's bathroom was clean. Beverly is just a wonderful and caring woman. She is a keeper. My husband and I highly recommend Beverly.”
“Knowing my cats are in Beth’s care always makes trips less stressful! I was thrilled we got her at the last minute this time around because I know she loves my kitties!”
“Sage did a great job checking in on our cat for 5 mornings in a row! She did everything we asked of her. She was very punctual by checking in with us each morning. And left us a picture each day. My cat unfortunately had other things on his mind. He was playing hard to get. As Sage came by early each morning, he was either still out hunting, or was hiding in his secret place. She said she only caught a glimpse of him one morning, and was too fast for her to get a picture of him. But she was patient with him. She added a few treats to his bowl of food each morning in order to see if he was eating. He was defiantly eating his treats, and his food. I think he was just being shy, as this was only the second time we've hired a cat sitter. We also opted to have him stay outside the whole time we were gone. As he is mostly an outdoor cat, and the weather was mild the whole time. Once we returned home, he was in our back yard, and came running when we called him. He was in happy spirits, and glad to see us!”
About: I've had many cats over the years. What inlove most about cats are their independence...they do whatever they want whenever they want, and they always are the boss of the house! I have experience with senior cats as well as having bottled fed newborns.
“Margie was amazing pet sitter for us. We are always nervous to leave our furry family with someone else. Margie made us feel comfortable and that she truly cared for our family. She was amazing and had amazing communication and was there every time it was scheduled. I very highly recommend Margie to take care of your furry critters. Best sitter! We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you so much!!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, administering basic medications, crate training, and providing lots of love and attention while owners are away. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pet, and I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. I’m currently working from home, so I am flexible and can stop by to check in, take them on walks, feeding, playing, whatever your fur baby needs. I can easily check in/ watch your dogs in the comfort of their own home. I find this makes the dogs more comfortable! With working from home I have the flexibility.
“Sydney was amazing. It was love at first sight for me and my dog. She was so caring and compassionate. I enjoyed the pictures she sent to confirm he was doing good. I will have her come again next time.”
About: My mom was a crazy cat lady and the apple has not fallen far from the tree. Cats have been apart of my life ever since I was a child, with one notable story as a kid of how I won over the trust of a timid cat over the course multiple weeks. I will give your cat the attention it needs by playing with and petting them while also making sure they are not stressed and comfortable.
“Tina was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of my cats while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind. She is communicative, and clearly cared about making sure they were happy. I really appreciated the updates and photos. I would gladly book Tina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Ashley was pretty much the best house sitter i have had in a very long time. My cat was very well taken care of, she sent plenty of updates, kept my home in good order and even left me a thank you card and drew a picture of my cat by hand for me :) Will be using her again!!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Melba
About: I’ve cared for and trained dogs my entire life and grew up on a farm caring for many different animals. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them, understanding their needs, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I work from home and am home most of the day, except for the occasional in-person meeting. Since I’m already caring for my toddler and our dog, your pet will fit naturally into our daily routine and won’t be left alone for long stretches I provide attentive, in-home care focused on safety, routine, and companionship. In my home, pets have access to a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, regular play and exercise, and a calm household environment. I follow each pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible and am happy to accommodate specific care instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure.
“First time using Beth to dog sit and she is such a sweet lady and loves dogs! Extremely responsive and flexible. She’s so knowledgeable and attentive. And for our 1.5 year old German wire haired pointer - so patient! Highly recommend her!”

“Amy was the best! Not only did she take such great care of my dog, she also went above and beyond to allow me to drop off a little early and pick up a little late. 10/10 experience with her!!”
“Dylhan was absolutely WONDERFUL to work with. She cared for my babies like they were her own (and her little puppers are so cute and happy!). This was the first time one of my dogs was away from me and he had a great time until the very end while I got to meet the puppies and talk more with Dylhan. He wanted to keep playing! My anxious dog who has had experience away did great as well. Dyhlan made him comfortable and sent me updates with pictures and videos and cared for him when his anxiety made him nauseous. Absolutely can't recommend them enough and very thankful for their help with caring for my babies!”
About: We have two high energy dogs that require regular exercise so I understand how hard it is to find a sitter who can meet that need. While your best friend is with us they can expect to get an off leash, 3-5 mile adventure every other day. I am trained and comfortable with an e collar but if your dog does not have good recall, no worries, I always carry a long line. Our home is best suited for medium to large dogs. I am a stay at home mom with 2 large dogs of my own. My dogs need regular off leash walks so you can expect your dog to get out plenty while with us. I have a large, fenced in yard. If I have to leave the house without the dogs I have spare kennels and a furbo dog camera to keep an eye on everyone.

“Even-keeled and easygoing, Emily was a good choice! She cared for my golden retriever for the day and my mind was at ease, knowing she’d be watched well, played with and fed by someone who knew what they were doing.

So they won't get too lonely and they are good people around animals, I don't leave the house unattended for too long. They can sleep on the floor or with in bed, or in there crate if needed, or preferred.

I've plenty of experience taking care of pets and as some people say, I have a way with animals. I don't have another job at the moment, so I can be there whenever I am sitting your pets!

My dog loves to just snuggle, and so I make time for that as well.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have been taking care of other people’s dogs/cats since I was in high school. I love all animals and currently have a puppy that I am training and teaching tricks! I am available most weekends, as I do not have to work on the weekends. I also have breaks throughout the year, which gives me lots of free time. I have been taking care of dogs/cats since I was in high school and continue to have owners that asked me to take care of their animals while they are away! My goal is to make sure all the animals needs are met and that they are happy and healthy!
About: For the last 7 and a half years I've been a dog trainer professionally for a local company, I love what I do im hoping I can help you and your pups meet the goals you have. Your animals will always have my attention while in my care, typically my days start at 6 am with the first bathroom opportunity then breakfast given around 7 am after breakfast a potty walk through the neighborhood/ parks. Once back some down time/ play time depending on if your dog is here for training the first training session of the day will take place by 9 am. Lunches dropped between 12 and 1 pm unless spefic time requested. After lunch another potty break before relaxing and other training sessions. Dinner dropped to the dogs around 5 pm with a chance to potty roughly within 20 minutes of eating, around 7 pm last neighborhood walk of the night followed by last training session of the day around 8pm then relaxing and playing until bed time around 10pm with a final chance to go potty before bedtime. ( I will give other chances if unused or seems needed) For boarding dogs i have a fenced yard with a dog door so dogs may come and go when they need if i am o ly watching one at a time, no dogs outside unsupervised or with other dogs especially if they do not know each other. No nose to nose interactions with out owners permission and only in a safe structured environment. For dogs here for training the are allowed in the back yard off leash to do their business but I will also walk them on leash through the neighborhood while doing out training sessions.
About: Animals have always naturally gravitated toward me, and caring for dogs has never felt like “work” to me I genuinely love it. I’ve helped watch and care for dogs for family and friends many times over the years, and I’m the type of person who pays close attention to their energy, comfort, and routines. I know every dog is different and I’m very patient with shy, anxious, high-energy, or affectionate dogs alike. I am very intuitive with their needs and and some people even call me a “dog whisperer”, because of how in tune I am. I love spending quality time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing outside, relaxing together, or simply making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I also understand how important updates and communication are when someone trusts you with their pet, so I always aim to be dependable, attentive, and caring. I currently work as an online life coach, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care, walks, check-ins, overnight stays, and quality time with your dog. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals so I’m able to give them lots of attention, companionship, and care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. My schedule is very open and flexible, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. I always want pets to feel safe, calm, and comfortable while in my care. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy level, and routine so they can feel as relaxed and at home as possible. I’m very patient and attentive, and I make sure pets have plenty of love, supervision, playtime, water, potty breaks, and a peaceful environment. I also understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for your pet, so I always aim to provide updates, photos, and dependable care so owners can feel fully at ease while they’re away.🐶❤️ I’m also a very clean and hygienic person and I always treat people’s homes with respect and care. I genuinely like keeping spaces tidy, and I aim to leave your home just as clean or even cleaner than I found it.

“Amy is an outstanding pup sitter! We'd give her 10 stars if we could. She's super communicative and quick to respond to questions. While we were on our trip, she sent two or three updates, with photos, each day. It was fun to watch our pup settle in with her care. She provides exercise, tons of playtime, and cuddles. Definitely will call on Amy to watch our pup again! Thanks so much, Amy!”
“Teddy had such a wonderful time, I can tell he really enjoyed his stay and Rich was super accommodating and communicated regularly with updates and pictures and videos. I would 100% recommend”
“Allison is such an angel! She cared for my baby Max through his worst days of having cancer. Thank you for all the love and care you showed Max through this difficult time, we both appreciate you so much! ❤️🩹🙏🏼”
“In home style Kennel. Our three mid-sized Eurasiers can be very reserved with new people, but they got on with Gabby right from the start, and were as busy loving on her as we left as they left as they were with me. Two of our dogs need special diets and medications, and that was handled as part of the bid contract- no extra fees. We even got pictures and reports emailed to us on the road! The dogs returned without a kennel smell: something I've never experienced before. I highly recommend Gabby as a kennelmaster.”
“I would definitely have John and Jessica watch Jasper whenever we are out of town! They sent updates and photos each day and I knew Jasper was happy, safe, and getting plenty of exercise while we were gone. They also gave us a cute gift bag with a toy, Polaroid of Jasper, and other goodies which was very sweet.”
“Such an amazing experience, our pup was cared for so well he hardly wanted to go home! We received daily updates so we knew he was having a great time with sweet dogs and awesome caregivers. 10/10!”
“Lindsay was amazing!!! Our 5 month old puppy stayed with her for over a week and it was the best experience. She worked with her on some basic training, got her to sleep in a crate and sent daily pictures and updates! We will definitely use her again in the future!!”
“I couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care our Tasha provided for my two dogs, Miss Tucker and Dobby. From the start, communication was excellent, and I received daily photos and updates that showed how comfortable and happy they were. Miss Tucker and Dobby are full of energy, but Tasha was able to match their personalities and energy perfectly. They even took them on regular walks, which they absolutely love! It meant so much knowing they were getting exercise, attention, and lots of love while I was away. Coming home to two calm, happy pups said everything. It’s never easy leaving your dogs, but I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. I will definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
“We are so happy with our experience using Haley for boarding! She has a cute dog that got along well with ours. She communicated promptly with us and sent lots of pictures.”
“Emily was so patient and communicative! She took excellent care of our young puppy, which definitely included extra challenges due to his age. She sent us pictures daily, and he seemed happy, safe, and perfectly at home the entire time!”
“Karin was great with our old pup! Our dog has some special needs, medication and diet. She had no issues with the extra care. Playtime out in the back yard, photos, videos and communication throughout.”
“Amanda is wonderful to work with. We felt so comfortable with our dog Rocco staying with her. Rocco is always loved and taken good care of. Thank you Amanda for keeping us updated and sending pictures.”
“Bri was so great! We have a puppy, so it was our first time leaving him and we were nervous how it would go. Bri sent us tons of pictures, updates, and a few videos. Our puppy was so happy playing with the other dogs. He was sad to come home. It’s very obvious Bri loves what she does. I can’t imagine using anyone else to watch our baby. Bri is the best!”
“Emily has been watching our dog, Coda, on many multiple-day stays and has done a wonderful job. Coda takes meds twice/day and has issues with stairs/jumping; Emily takes the time to understand Coda's limitations and takes extra special care of her. And her dog, Molly, is very gentle and great with other dogs. We are moving out-of-state next month and will miss having Emily as our dog-sitter SO much. Thanks, Emily, for always giving us peace of mind when we left Coda with you!”
