Personalized care for your dog or cat - Pinehurst
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Pinehurst
“Simone was very kind to my dog. Her two dogs are fun and full of energy without being aggressive, so my 6-month-old poodle felt right at home. She updates you if you need her to, or sends pictures if you would like them. She truly loves the animals that stay with her and provides high-quality care. I had never met her before, but I feel that she treated me like family and have recommended her to my friends.”
“Leaha and her family treated Henry as part of their family. Henry was very well cared for and enjoyed his stay! We highly recommend Leaha and we will use her services again.”
“We are SOOOO happy to have found Katie. She not only took good care of our girls, but she really enjoyed them and spoiled them. She would send us photos and updates throughout the day for the 4 days/nights they stayed with her. It was such a relief to know they were in good hands—especially after a recent negative kennel boarding experience. On a scale of 1 to 10, Katie is a 20!! Friendly, compassionate, meticulous home and yard, and absolutely loves caring for pets. Her dog, Roofus, is a sweet boy and he graciously tolerated our two granny pups—even when our Weimaraner overtook his personal kennel. He is easy going and just seemed to enjoy the company. I really can’t say enough wonderful things about Miss Katie. Thank you doesn’t seem adequate for the peace we enjoyed while we were away.”
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: I work remotely and love taking walks throughout the day to stop looking at screens. I go for frequent runs, walks and hikes and love taking a dog with me, just let me know if you would like your pup to get extra exercise! I live in downtown CDA area with a large fenced yard and a great neighborhood for walks! I only take in one dog at a time. I had both dogs and cats growing up and I'm a proud Aunty of all my friends dogs when they are out of town. I always look forward to it! If you have a strong high energy dog, don't sweat it. I had a retriever/chow mix for 14 years and I'm stronger than I look. :) Currently I work in real estate so I make my own hours and have plenty of time to walk your pup and give them extra attention I have a large fenced yard, a good size home for them to roam around, and a great neighborhood for long walks. <3 danyelle .
About: Raised around show dogs, with 30 years hands‑on training experience. Professional educator/teacher. Loving, dog‑only care—walks, enrichment, adventures, or calm indoor comfort, individually tailored. Huge Heart. My aunt raised dogs for show in US and Canada - and she was an emergency vet tech. I helped her with her doggies all my growing up years and learned a lot. Working on getting certified in doggy training. Have human BLS (basic Life Support for medical professionals) but also know doggy CPR and basic medical-can give shots and meds. I just have a huge heart and love to love on the doggies. Sitting same rate as boarding and sometimes easier on the doggies. I just want them to have their routines, pets, loves, favorites (if it's a walk or snuggles) - just be as anxiety free, loved on, and happy as possible while you are away. 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: I have hands-on experience with high-energy dogs and know how to keep them happy, exercised, and mentally engaged. I’m patient and attentive, with a gentle approach that works well for both playful pups and older dogs who need a little extra care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. As a veteran Marine and someone who has competitively trained dogs since 2020, I approach pet care with structure, consistency, and discipline. I make sure pets are cared for with structure, safety, and attention to detail. I follow consistent feeding schedules, provide exercise and play tailored to each pet’s needs, and keep their environment clean and comfortable. With my background in competitive dog training, I also incorporate positive reinforcement and mental stimulation to ensure pets are not only well cared for but also engaged and happy.
“Amazing dog sitter! Super reliable, caring, and great with communication. We got regular updates and our pup came home happy and relaxed. It’s clear they truly love what they do. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”
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.
“Victoria was absolutely amazing with Goose! From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely loves dogs and takes her responsibility seriously. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Goose was happy, well taken care of, got lots of play time and snuggles, and adores Chula!”
“Kelly, Tyler and family are the best. They kept us updated with pictures and loved our dog like their own. They have a great property for dogs with a large but secure lawn. We won’t hesitate to use them again.”
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!
About: I would LOVE to spend time with your kitty or dog in the comfort of my home! ☺️ My husband and I live on 20 acres of land with our sweet dog Miso and loving cat Yoshi. I'm currently on a corporate work break so I have all day each day to care for your pet, and my husband also works from home. I have had a heart for animals my entire life and have cared for all kinds of pets, including cats, dogs, fish, ducks, and now my eleven chickens! I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away. I have experience caring for friends’ and neighbors’ pets, as well as watching over homes, and I always treat every pet and property with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and a great communicator — and I love sending photo updates so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, grooming, cuddles, or simply a calm place to relax, I’m happy to follow their routine and meet their individual needs. For pets staying with me, I offer a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment where they can feel cared for like part of the family. I’d be so happy to help give your pet a loving, safe, and stress-free experience! I am currently taking a corporate career break so my schedule is flexible to spend all day engaging with pet(s)! My husband will also be able to engage with your pet(s) all day as he works from home. My home is a safe, clean, and comfortable place for pets to relax and feel cared for. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding instructions, potty breaks, playtime, quiet time, or any special rules that help them feel secure. I treat every pet like family and make safety, comfort, and communication my top priorities.
“Jessica, her family, and her home were so welcoming to our floppy labrador. She's got a great backyard, near a park, and definitely gave Bosco loving attention. He came home anxiety-free, exercised but rested and clean.”
About: I have had animals since I was a little girl and I’ve always had at least a dog. Right now I have two. A mastiff and a frenchie. My dogs are like children to me and I understand just how hard it is to find someone I can trust to watch them if I need to be out of town. I am looking to provide the quality care for others that I have been looking for. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. If you have unique scheduling needs, let me know and I will do my best to accommodate. I am a neat freak with a dog who sheds and drools uncontrollably. It’s work! But it’s so worth it. I understand the unique needs of others. As a special education teacher, I apply the same behavior principals to my animals. They need to earn your trust and can take time to do so. I am committed to creating a safe, trusting and caring environment that stays tidy!
About: So happy to take your dog where they want to go! I’ve been a dog sitter since I can remember & have sat in on multiple dog trainings. I love to be outside and live in a very dog friendly area! I’m flexible and easy going, don’t hesitate to reach out 😊 I’m currently working part time remote and have been wanting to find something to fill my time, what better than dog sitting? I am happy to stay in contact for life, I am reliable and will be very communicative. I have a very open schedule! I always follow pet owners rules. I have a large backyard for your pet and also love to get in a lot of leash walks in a day. I do not own my own pet so yours will get all my attention. Also live in a non-smoker home.

About: Flexible and accommodating, I strive to make your life easier and to make your pet as safe and happy as possible. Passionate about pets! I managed the pet care department at a PetSmart for 2 years before relocating to the Silver Valley, since then I’ve hosted many diverse Rover bookings and I’d love for your pet to be next! 30 minutes west of the Hiawatha Trail and 10 minutes west of Silver Mountain Resort. I also offer pick up and drop off from both locations if you’re willing to pay for gas: $5 per Silver Mountain drive and $15 per drive to the Hiawatha Bike trail. I already feed, water, love and spend time outside with my own dogs—your pet can join us anytime and they will be treated like one of my own. I am attentive and communicative and I take direction well. Tell me what your pet needs and they’ll get it, along with some extra love.
“It was obviously from our first interaction during the meet and greet that she was the perfect fit. She understood how deeply I cared about my cat, Barry and went above and beyond. She sent through reports with tons of photos and provided more than basic needs—she provided companionship which was HUGE.”
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!
“Gabby and Kade took great care of my fur babies while I was away. They sent lots of pictures and followed my whole list of instructions. They spent time playing with them and made sure they felt comfortable while I was gone! Thank you Gabby and Kade!!”

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.
About: I've been taking care of dogs of every kind since i was 7 years old. I also started my own dog walking business in the 6th grade walking neighbors, family, and friends dogs. As well as training my own dogs with potty training skills and adaptability. I also do well with un-trained dogs who are combative and temperamental by having completed a dog school training class. Your cherished pet will be handled with care, love, and in the best hands possible. I am open to same day bookings and will also be able to show via phone or in person the place where the onboarding will be held. All services are provided, i will always begin to ask for any diet restrictions, bad habits, and skin conditions. For while in my care i will be feeding, playing, walking, and more than likely bathing your pet so i want to be able to make sure your beloved family pet is well taken care of and comfortable while in my care.

“Simone was great! We booked last minute and she was very accommodating for our dogs needs. Very professional, friendly, and excellent communication. We would definitely recommend her and would gladly book with her again.”
“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.”

“Erin has been walking my dog, Abigail, several times a week for a little over a month now, and Abigail absolutely adores Erin and their walks together. After every walk, Erin sends a Rover Card that includes the route they took, the length of the walk, total miles, potty breaks, and always a photo or two of my sweet Abigail—which I truly appreciate. Erin has been an absolute godsend to me, as I’m no longer physically able to walk my dog myself. Erin is professional, friendly, dependable, reliable, and always on time. I have complete peace of mind knowing Abigail is in such caring and capable hands. Thank you so much, Erin—we love you!”
“Thank you Gabby and Kade! Very reliable and flexible. I could tell fin was well walked when I got home from work and I appreciated it so much that they came for a meet and greet before his scheduled walks as well.”

About: Hi, I'm Stephanie, and this is my husband Luke. We're your Critter Companions, and with us, two is always better. For overnight stays we work as a team, which means double the attention, double the playtime, and an extra set of eyes on your property. We specialize in residential pet and property care. As independent caretakers, our mission is 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. ✦ What We Specialize In We're especially comfortable with the pets and situations that need extra care and attention: ✓ Special needs and senior pets (blind, deaf, mobility-challenged, or behaviorally complex) ✓ Complex medication schedules: pills, injections, eye drops, you name it ✓ High-maintenance breeds that need extensive grooming, intense exercise, or dedicated training ✓ Extended stays, comfortably caring for your pets for weeks or even months at a time ✓ Holiday care, because I don't disappear during Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's ✓ Multi-pet households, managing different personalities, feeding schedules, and needs ✓ Anxious or reactive pets, with patient, consistent care that helps nervous animals feel secure ✦ A Little About Us We were both raised around animals, but I turned that passion into my life's work. I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, the neighborhood's trusted pet sitter long before it was a profession. Thirteen years later, I've cared for everything from easy-going family dogs to high-maintenance breeds with special medical needs, for stays ranging from long weekends to month-long holidays. What clients tell me sets me apart is how I read animals. I pick up on the subtle changes in behavior, body language, and those little cues that tell you something's off before it becomes a problem. I'm not going through the motions; I love what I do, and that enthusiasm shows in how I care for your pets and your home. ✦ Your Home, Cared For I look after 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. ✦ Values You Can Trust Beyond the practical care, we believe the people you let into your home matter just as much as the work they do. We love the Lord, and our faith in Jesus shapes how we run our business and how we treat what's entrusted to us. For us that means a simple, steady lifestyle: we don't drink, smoke, party, or invite guests into your home. While you're away, your house stays exactly as it should, quiet, respected, and cared for, with nothing happening under your roof that you wouldn't welcome yourself. When you hand us your keys, you're trusting us with your home and your family. We take that seriously, and we hold ourselves to it no matter the circumstances. ✦ Let's Connect Over the years I've built lasting relationships with pets and their owners because I treat every home like my own and every pet like family. I'd be honored to earn that same trust from you. 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.

About: I have over 5 years of experience taking care of all sorts and sizes of dogs, as well as cats. I always make sure the animals I take care of have the best possible environment to ensure a happy and healthy result. :) I’m currently planning on doing this full time until I find a new part-time job. I will continue to do petsitting on the side regardless. It’s my passion so it is my priority. :) I will make sure your dog is safe in your home, since I only offer in clients home sitting. They will be well cared for and I will make sure they are looked out for and content. I want your dogs to be as happy as they can be!

“Simone was very kind to my dog. Her two dogs are fun and full of energy without being aggressive, so my 6-month-old poodle felt right at home. She updates you if you need her to, or sends pictures if you would like them. She truly loves the animals that stay with her and provides high-quality care. I had never met her before, but I feel that she treated me like family and have recommended her to my friends.”
“Leaha and her family treated Henry as part of their family. Henry was very well cared for and enjoyed his stay! We highly recommend Leaha and we will use her services again.”
“We are SOOOO happy to have found Katie. She not only took good care of our girls, but she really enjoyed them and spoiled them. She would send us photos and updates throughout the day for the 4 days/nights they stayed with her. It was such a relief to know they were in good hands—especially after a recent negative kennel boarding experience. On a scale of 1 to 10, Katie is a 20!! Friendly, compassionate, meticulous home and yard, and absolutely loves caring for pets. Her dog, Roofus, is a sweet boy and he graciously tolerated our two granny pups—even when our Weimaraner overtook his personal kennel. He is easy going and just seemed to enjoy the company. I really can’t say enough wonderful things about Miss Katie. Thank you doesn’t seem adequate for the peace we enjoyed while we were away.”
About: I work remotely and love taking walks throughout the day to stop looking at screens. I go for frequent runs, walks and hikes and love taking a dog with me, just let me know if you would like your pup to get extra exercise! I live in downtown CDA area with a large fenced yard and a great neighborhood for walks! I only take in one dog at a time. I had both dogs and cats growing up and I'm a proud Aunty of all my friends dogs when they are out of town. I always look forward to it! If you have a strong high energy dog, don't sweat it. I had a retriever/chow mix for 14 years and I'm stronger than I look. :) Currently I work in real estate so I make my own hours and have plenty of time to walk your pup and give them extra attention I have a large fenced yard, a good size home for them to roam around, and a great neighborhood for long walks. <3 danyelle .
About: Raised around show dogs, with 30 years hands‑on training experience. Professional educator/teacher. Loving, dog‑only care—walks, enrichment, adventures, or calm indoor comfort, individually tailored. Huge Heart. My aunt raised dogs for show in US and Canada - and she was an emergency vet tech. I helped her with her doggies all my growing up years and learned a lot. Working on getting certified in doggy training. Have human BLS (basic Life Support for medical professionals) but also know doggy CPR and basic medical-can give shots and meds. I just have a huge heart and love to love on the doggies. Sitting same rate as boarding and sometimes easier on the doggies. I just want them to have their routines, pets, loves, favorites (if it's a walk or snuggles) - just be as anxiety free, loved on, and happy as possible while you are away. 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.
“Amazing dog sitter! Super reliable, caring, and great with communication. We got regular updates and our pup came home happy and relaxed. It’s clear they truly love what they do. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”
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.
“Victoria was absolutely amazing with Goose! From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely loves dogs and takes her responsibility seriously. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Goose was happy, well taken care of, got lots of play time and snuggles, and adores Chula!”
“Kelly, Tyler and family are the best. They kept us updated with pictures and loved our dog like their own. They have a great property for dogs with a large but secure lawn. We won’t hesitate to use them again.”
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!
About: I would LOVE to spend time with your kitty or dog in the comfort of my home! ☺️ My husband and I live on 20 acres of land with our sweet dog Miso and loving cat Yoshi. I'm currently on a corporate work break so I have all day each day to care for your pet, and my husband also works from home. I have had a heart for animals my entire life and have cared for all kinds of pets, including cats, dogs, fish, ducks, and now my eleven chickens! I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away. I have experience caring for friends’ and neighbors’ pets, as well as watching over homes, and I always treat every pet and property with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and a great communicator — and I love sending photo updates so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, grooming, cuddles, or simply a calm place to relax, I’m happy to follow their routine and meet their individual needs. For pets staying with me, I offer a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment where they can feel cared for like part of the family. I’d be so happy to help give your pet a loving, safe, and stress-free experience! I am currently taking a corporate career break so my schedule is flexible to spend all day engaging with pet(s)! My husband will also be able to engage with your pet(s) all day as he works from home. My home is a safe, clean, and comfortable place for pets to relax and feel cared for. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding instructions, potty breaks, playtime, quiet time, or any special rules that help them feel secure. I treat every pet like family and make safety, comfort, and communication my top priorities.
“Jessica, her family, and her home were so welcoming to our floppy labrador. She's got a great backyard, near a park, and definitely gave Bosco loving attention. He came home anxiety-free, exercised but rested and clean.”
About: I have had animals since I was a little girl and I’ve always had at least a dog. Right now I have two. A mastiff and a frenchie. My dogs are like children to me and I understand just how hard it is to find someone I can trust to watch them if I need to be out of town. I am looking to provide the quality care for others that I have been looking for. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. If you have unique scheduling needs, let me know and I will do my best to accommodate. I am a neat freak with a dog who sheds and drools uncontrollably. It’s work! But it’s so worth it. I understand the unique needs of others. As a special education teacher, I apply the same behavior principals to my animals. They need to earn your trust and can take time to do so. I am committed to creating a safe, trusting and caring environment that stays tidy!
