Debbie is amazing. She took very good care of Cooper and we would have him stay with her in a heartbeat again! She kept us updated each day on how he was doing and sent lots of cute pictures too. We appreciate all the care Debbie and her family showed Cooper.

Alicia was the best! I knew from our meet and greet that she was going to be great with Tig and of course she was. I had no worries while we were out of town as she sent updates and photos of our Tig often. I can tell he is going to miss his new hangout and all their love & cuddles. I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.

Annie took great care of our Golden Retriever and gave us peace of mind by sending plenty fun pics of our dog enjoying himself with his new friends. We found Annie to be a very kind lover of dogs and cats. She was also flexible with our traveling schedule so that my family can enjoy our vacation without worry. We will not hesitate to use her services again for our future sitting needs!

I could tell Simba was comfortable and happy, and it just gave me so much peace of mind. Overall, I’m really grateful for how smoothly it all went.” I would highly recommend her.

Stella put our minds at ease when we had to leave our almost one year old puppy (for the first time) for our wedding/honeymoon. She sends picture updates and lets you know how pups are doing throughout the week, which was always nice to see. Despite our dog having a hard time adjusting to the change, she was great throughout the process. Couldn't have asked for better people to watch our Lily. Thank you, Stella and Jim!

Carla did a great job watching and taken care of our dog Lizzo while we were out of town. She always provided amazing updates, photographs and videos of our pet, so we had a peace of mind. Lizzo seemed very happy and comfortable at her home. She play with her two dogs, especially her sweet heart Stella. At night, Lizzo slept with Carla. We are luck to have her because Carla really went above and beyond to take care of our dog. She is very trust worthy and caring and definitely recommend her.

This was our second time using June and we couldn't be happier! She takes such wonderful care of our dog—she’s thorough, thoughtful, and always keeps us updated with great photos and messages. It’s clear she loves him and treats him like her own. ❤️ Our dog absolutely adores his hour-long walks with June (which she asked about ahead of time). He always comes home happy and tired! He also loves having Cookie to play with, which is such a fun bonus! We truly wouldn’t trust our pup with anyone else. June is amazing!!

Elena and her family were great. From the start at drop off, I could tell our pup would be treated like family. She was really good about keeping me updated on how things were going on a frequent basis. She sent us some great pictures and a few brief summaries of how the day went. Two weeks is a long time to take someone else’s dog for any reason but I’m really happy it was Elena and her family. Will try to use her again if they’re willing.

Thank you so much for taking Maple on such short notice. Five stars are simply not enough to describe the wonderful experience we had. It was comforting to see that Maple had a loving home away from home. She clearly enjoyed playing in the fenced yard with Sadie, and I truly appreciated the frequent communication and photos you shared. It was great to see her receiving so much love and attention. I will definitely be using your services again.

Jill is far more experienced boarding pets than most boarders on this site. She is very patient and loving with our fifteen year old dog, which is why I booked her months in advance for our most recent trip, even though I have to drive a little further than I would like. I intend to use her again for our next trip, assuming that our dear old dog is still with us.

I was really nervous leaving my 9 month month old kitty and 18 year old cat at home for 5 days while i was gone, but Rachel was such a wonderful sitter, and provided me with wonderful photos and thoughtful, detailed updates while i was gone that really put my mind at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Rachel really went above and beyond to make sure my cats were well taken care of, played with and happy. She even brought a few toys and treats for them to play with! And my 18 year old cat needed a topical medicine in her ear each day, which Rachel applied to her no problem… meaning my cat really trusts her. I almost think my cats were a little disappointed to see me instead of Rachel opening the door when i got home yesterday haha! Thanks so much Rachel - we will absolutely be in touch the next time we need a sitter!! I highly recommend her :)

About: I ❤️cats! I will check in on them, feed them, clean up after them, play with them, cuddle with them, give them medicine, but I can’t take them home anymore or spend the night, unfortunately. I fostered a beautiful black cat named Ping through the covid shutdown and found that fighting allergies 24/7 was too much, but a simple Claritin allows me to still enjoy their company (at their residence) during the day.

About: I grew up with animals starting out with hamsters and guinea pigs. Currently have a small Bichon Frise dog who always needs love and attention. I love going on walks, especially with a companion:) I am currently a college student taking online classes Monday through Thursday, however, I can be flexible with my schedule so don’t hesitate to reach out to take care of your pets:) I can always make time to help out <3 For my own dog I always make sure she has food and water at all times. Letting her outside whenever she wants in order to get some fresh air and then going on walks with her twice a day is part of our routine. She is not one to play, but still loves being silly and having the zoomies. In those energetic moments I always join her. Then at the end of the day everyone deserves a treat and so does she:)

About: I have a half acre of fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. I’ve had pets in my family my whole life: always dogs, a few cats over the years, a house rabbit, hamsters, ducks, fish, lizards, turtles - so many lovely creatures! I’ve worked with rescues and shelters and have taken care of elderly dogs at the end of their lifespan administering medications orally, injections, and topically. For my other job I do freelance graphic design from home and make my own schedule, so I’m very flexible with my schedule. When pet sitting at my home your pet will have my company throughout the day. I offer check ins, feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after all pets and livestock at their home. I board dogs and caged pets overnight or for multiple days at my home where dogs have access to a fenced yard at any time of the day, full time supervision, and cozy accommodations.

About: I’m known to host pups while my friends are out for the evening or for the weekend. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs whether it be lounging or going for a walk! I’m currently working from home and love having a furry companion during my daily walks. I love cuddling up with a dog and watching reality tv on weeknights. The community I live in has a dog park and trails nearby to provide pups with plenty of movement, sunlight, and quality time in and outside the home.

My dog has special needs and Jill has been terrific with her. All I have to say is “doggie daycare” and she’s jumping in the car to hang out at Jill’s.

Specialized Care Offered: Insulin administration Subcutaneous fluid therapy Skilled handling of reactive or special-needs dogs Medication administration and monitoring My Home Setup: Safe, supervised in-home dog care with a fully fenced yard Separate quiet area inside the home specifically for cat sitting Clean, calm environment designed for comfort and low stress I’m proud to have loyal, returning clients for over a decade, and I treat every animal like part of the family. If you’re looking for experienced, trustworthy, and compassionate care, I’d love to help.

About: I’ve been caring for, training, and owning dogs nearly my whole life starting from childhood to now fostering/watching for friends and family. I’ve also had experience working professionally as a pet sitter. Whether your pup is large or small I’ll care for them as if they were my own and bring all the playful energy as a young adult to provide a fun experience during my time with them. I currently work remotely and have increased flexibility for scheduling needs. Although I will need to primarily be at home during my working hours I am able to ensure your pets are taken care of in a timely fashion without being left for too long without potty breaks. Your boundaries for your animals whether they be rules or practices in your personal home will be closely followed and respected. I bring my years of pet experience to ensure their safety is my top priority when staying with them overnight or providing daily care along with giving them the company they’ll need while you are away.

About: I have experience caring for dogs through helping friends and neighbors with dog sitting and dog walking whenever they need me. I also have a 9 year old dog of my own, so I understand the daily responsibilities of caring for a pet. I love being around dogs and giving them lots of attention! I am currently home for the summer from college and will be working part time as a waitress, so I will have plenty of time for dog walking! I will take every safety measure there is when it comes to doggies such as making sure the doors are closed, the fence is closed, keeping them on the leash, and helping them feel comfortable.

About: I've been around dogs since I've had a working memory. From friend's, family's, neighbor's to my own I've watched and cared for many different dogs of many different sizes and needs. Dogs are a joy and a privilege to care for and deserve the best. I've worked with pups to pops and enjoy both :) I currently work part time in the mornings. Whether your pet/s need to be fed/let out, walked or just needs company I know I'll find time to give them the attention and care they deserve. If I'm pet sitting, I'm able to stay in you're home and give your pets all the attention they could dream of. Chill, lazy dog? Nothing like relaxing outside or watching TV getting pets and cuddles. Adventurous hounds? Lots of walks and play. I tailor the pet care your fur babies need to fit their lives and personalities. I work 1:1 with pet families so that your pets get all of my attention.

About: I have a half acre of fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. I’ve had pets in my family my whole life: always dogs, a few cats over the years, a house rabbit, hamsters, ducks, fish, lizards, turtles - so many lovely creatures! I’ve worked with rescues and shelters and have taken care of elderly dogs at the end of their lifespan administering medications orally, injections, and topically. For my other job I do freelance graphic design from home and make my own schedule, so I’m very flexible with my schedule. When pet sitting at my home your pet will have my company throughout the day. I offer check ins, feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after all pets and livestock at their home. I board dogs and caged pets overnight or for multiple days at my home where dogs have access to a fenced yard at any time of the day, full time supervision, and cozy accommodations.

About: I grew up with animals starting out with hamsters and guinea pigs. Currently have a small Bichon Frise dog who always needs love and attention. I love going on walks, especially with a companion:) I am currently a college student taking online classes Monday through Thursday, however, I can be flexible with my schedule so don’t hesitate to reach out to take care of your pets:) I can always make time to help out <3 For my own dog I always make sure she has food and water at all times. Letting her outside whenever she wants in order to get some fresh air and then going on walks with her twice a day is part of our routine. She is not one to play, but still loves being silly and having the zoomies. In those energetic moments I always join her. Then at the end of the day everyone deserves a treat and so does she:)

I'm also a student at CLC so my availability is in the afternoon or earlier hours on Thursday If the dog needs to be in a crate, I can crate it.

About: I have had dogs since I was 10 , and I've always had a passion for them. When I was younger, I would read books about every type of dog I could get my hands on. I'll be good for your pets because I'm able to adjust to every individual need for your animals. I've watched dogs for friends and family for many years while they were on vacation. I have spent the last few years working in commercial pet care at various daycare and boarding facilities. This includes dogs, cats, birds and various small rodents. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make your dogs, and yourself as comfortable as possible. I'm happy to go on frequent walks of any duration or difficulty. I used to take one of my own dogs hiking so I'm willing and able to do whatever they are used to. I'm also happy to be at your home as frequently as you'd prefer, and I'd love to maintain open communication with you while you are away. I have also recently acquired a PACCC certification. I’m freelancing at the moment so I have an open schedule at the moment. I am available Mondays, and Wednesday - Saturday. Sundays are also available upon request. I always prefer to meet with pet parents so I can be aware of any potential safety problems in the home and when walking dogs I like to bring a secondary slip leash to use so that in case anything happens to the first leash/collar, your pet is unable to slip away from me.

I work about 30 hours of week at the clinic and pet sit for family and friends on side the side. Safety of your home and pet is my number one priority. I would prefer a list of emergency contacts and clinic names that you prefer to use in the event I can’t get ahold of you. I always double check to make sure the door is locked and always do a head count of all the pets in the home before I leave.

Michelle was the best sitter we could ever dreamed of ! She has an amazing personality and a huge heart for dogs. That was a first time we left our Jax with the sitter, and he came back as happy as he can be , and even a little spoiled 😊. Michelle is very knowledgeable and detailed oriented, and she always follows your home routine. She treats every dog like her own , and gives them a lot of attention. The best sitter ever!

Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.

The dogs seemed to have a great time. We have one really old dog and one crazy young one and they were wonderful with both. Great communications and fun pictures! Thanks so much!

Carla did a great job watching and taken care of our dog Lizzo while we were out of town. She always provided amazing updates, photographs and videos of our pet, so we had a peace of mind. Lizzo seemed very happy and comfortable at her home. She play with her two dogs, especially her sweet heart Stella. At night, Lizzo slept with Carla. We are luck to have her because Carla really went above and beyond to take care of our dog. She is very trust worthy and caring and definitely recommend her.

Dorothy is amazing and we couldn’t recommend her enough. She took the time to get to know my pup and her needs, and sent many updates while we were away. We are happy to have found someone we trust so much!

Angela was very welcoming and caring for our Gizmo! From the moment we arrived her and her husband greeted us with open arms. We were going camping and our schedule was a little off but they made time for us. We received pictures and updates daily and were really pleased. Would highly recommend to anyone using this service for the 1st time. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for taking Maple on such short notice. Five stars are simply not enough to describe the wonderful experience we had. It was comforting to see that Maple had a loving home away from home. She clearly enjoyed playing in the fenced yard with Sadie, and I truly appreciated the frequent communication and photos you shared. It was great to see her receiving so much love and attention. I will definitely be using your services again.

Jill is far more experienced boarding pets than most boarders on this site. She is very patient and loving with our fifteen year old dog, which is why I booked her months in advance for our most recent trip, even though I have to drive a little further than I would like. I intend to use her again for our next trip, assuming that our dear old dog is still with us.
