It was comforting to know that Pepper was in a comfortable space, room to run outside, with plenty of people and pup friends to keep him occupied while we were on vacation! Kyle and Lyndzie sent lots of updates throughout the week too! Gave us peace of mind and we would definitely book with them again!

Ashley was absolutely amazing with Ark! He is a young, high-energy puppy who can definitely be a handful, but she took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout his stay. It was clear that she was patient, attentive, and genuinely cared about his well-being. Ark came home happy, healthy, and tired—which is not an easy accomplishment! I also really appreciated how welcoming she was and how comfortable she made the whole experience. I would trust her with Ark again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you so much for everything, Ashley!

Tara will always be my first choice for boarding because she goes above and beyond when it comes to caring for my dog.

Kari is so wonderful with the animals she cares for. I could tell by the way my dog Ruger acted as soon as he entered her home. Usually when I pick him up, he let's me know that he's not pleased I was gone, but after a stay with Kari he is totally calm and happy. Thanks for taking such great care of my boy!

About: I have experience fostering dogs with the animal shelter APL and have a small toy poodle of my own. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play. I love dogs and would love to have the opportunity to watch dogs and take care of others! I am open to watching dogs for a couple hours, a day, or even a couple of days if that is what is needed. My house has a small backyard and I am also available to do drop ins at the dogs own home. The area is very quiet and would be comfortable for another dog to be in. If I am caring for someone else's dog I plan on being home for the time I'm watching the dog so that it will be well taken care of. I’m currently only working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. I am available early mornings or early afternoons to give your animal a break during the workday! I am also available any time on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I have a toy poodle and a golden retriever. I can also do drops in to walk or play with your dog as well!

About: My name is Jessica, my partner Richard and I have recently decided to open our home to boarding again! While I have much experience with cats, Richard has got quite the history raising dogs. He was born into a home with a well educated German Shepherd. His father trained mainly Pit-bulls and Shepherds, and his grandparents raised and bred Keeshons and Golden Labs during much of his and our lifetime together. We have always had a special interest and investment in raising and training canines! Not just big dogs but little ones too. His mother worked with a rescue shelter that also certified and 'dispatched' therapy animals. Together we have certainly learned a lot about taking care of pets. Both Richard and I have the patience, heart, and experience to provide excellent care for some of the most special of needy dogs. We have one cat, her name is Shade! If we have a pooch over for the night she stays with her brother Dexter, who lives nearby. Please, if your pet requires any medication or has any special needs, please outline those needs specifically with a written note and verbal communication upon arrival. We are completely available to you and your pets full-time untill further notice! late-nights, or early mornings, offer us courtesy and we'll be the flexibility! We live in an apartment, non-smoking, we have a small parking lot out front and a unfenced yard in the back. There are two friendly neighboors who both have cats and also love furry animals, the kitties stay inside and are well mannered. Neither of them are very 'sharp and pointy.' I drive a hatchback and can transport dogs up to a large size who are well car-broken. We enjoy strolling through washington park and hanging out at the dog park on the North end of town (Stuart park.) We and your pet will not go anywhere together, (other than our home and neighboorhood,) without your express permission. We are completely available to you and your pets full-time untill further notice! late-nights, or early mornings, offer us courtesy and we'll be the flexibility! We live in an apartment with small back yard behind the building. Potty breaks are every 2-3 hours until bedtime. We heed special dietary requests, or otherwise will feed our animal friends when we do with controlled portions three times a day.

Amanda was wonderful with my cat, Zoe! She sent detailed updates and photos after every visit, which made me feel more at peace. She was patient, kind, attentive and took the time to earn Zoe's trust—something that isn't easy. By the end of my trip, Zoe was following her around, letting Amanda pet and play with her. That meant so much to me. I came home to a happy, relaxed kitty, and I honestly wouldn't trust anyone else to watch Zoe. I'll definitely be booking Amanda again!

About: HUGE dog lover, who has taken care of my own dogs, friend's dogs, and rescue group dogs for over 15 years. My very first dog soulmate, was Chesie. I had her since she was three months, until, very recently, she passed just after her 15th birthday. I also worked at a no-kill shelter and have worked with various rescue organizations. I have been developing a doggy daycare and boarding center in my community. It is close to becoming a reality! I currently work just three days a week. I am off every other weekend. I have way too much time on my hands and would love to fill it with dog slobbers! With lots of LOVE! I have a fully fenced yard and your baby will be cared for in my home with potty breaks and play time in the backyard. I will do crate training as needed, but they would primarily be free roaming.

About: I have cared for and watched after a variety of furry friends. Big or small, I love them and often times they love me back. I am currently working from home full time so I will have plenty of time to play with and spoil your fur baby. This also gives me plenty of opportunity to be with some of the babies that aren’t accustomed to being alone throughout the day! I have an open floor plan which allows me to keep an eye on your fur babe at all times. I also have a balcony that helps with getting plenty of fresh air even on cold or rainy days.

About: In my 10 years of pet sitting, I have had the privilege of caring for countless furry companions, each leaving an indelible mark on my heart. From energetic pups to wise senior dogs, I have witnessed the incredible bond that exists between pets and their owners. Through walks in the park, cozy snuggles, and endless playtime, I have come to understand the true joy and responsibility that comes with providing exceptional care for these beloved family members. My carefully crafted schedule for taking care of pups seamlessly integrates into my lifestyle, ensuring their needs are met while allowing me to maintain a balanced routine. With a structured approach, I provide regular feeding, exercise, and playtime sessions, tailored to each dog's unique requirements. This allows me to accommodate their specific needs while still managing my own commitments, ensuring a harmonious coexistence between their well-being and my personal life. This works especially well with my work from home job! At the forefront of my dog sitting service is a steadfast commitment to the safety, trust, and well-being of every dog under my care. I maintain a secure and pet-friendly environment, meticulously inspecting and childproofing the space to eliminate any potential hazards. With a vigilant eye and responsible supervision, I create a space where dogs can freely explore, play, and interact with peace of mind, fostering a trusting bond between myself and these furry companions.

About: I grew up always having/taking care of dogs. I also pet sit regularly now. I love animals and would love to have this as something to do outside of work! I also have two kitties named Blue and Harley, so have a lot of experience with cheeky cats, too. I currently work from home, so all I need is my hotspot and laptop. I can house sit for you basically for any length of time and any day/time. I have reliable transportation. I try to leave the home as good as or better than I found it. I truly do love caring for animals.

We have had Chelsea in our lives for over a year. She has been with us for our fostering and a recent adoption of another kitty. We have a total of 6 pets (1 dog and 5 kitties) she looks after when we are on vacation. During the week, she comes over 3 times a week to walk our lab. She is definitely an adopted member of our family. Our lab goes flying through the house when she hears the front door unlock and several of our cats will even come running. Everyone in our house loves Chelsea. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her not only as a sitter, but as a person. You will not be disappointed with the care and love she gives your furbabies.

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats and other pets since 1986. Love, trust, patience and high respect with animals are my #1 priority! I have volunteered with Animal Protective League as well as adopted cats from there. I am pretty much a person who takes home a stray animal who needs a home. My family has taken in 20 cats in the last 25 years that were strays on the street and kept them their whole lives. We have owned, to this date, 14 dogs dating as far back as when I was a toddler. Animals are my passion and I look forward to meeting yours! I am currently a stay-at-home mom. I own 11 cats. I am available for long-term and short-term periods. I am flexible with schedules and times and days depend on the client’s needs as well as pet needs. Currently, I am available for walking dogs, watching cats, as well as checking in and feeding animals at the client’s house during the client’s absence. Please contact me for further details and a custom schedule! Currently not providing pet care in my home. Pet care will be provided in the client’s home. When pet daycare services become available in my home, it will be announced!

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or just lots of love and attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I work part-time and attend cosmetology school, but I keep my schedule organized so I can provide reliable pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting around my work and school hours, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications (if needed), and any special instructions exactly as requested. I understand that every pet is different, and I’ll treat your home with respect while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for over 15 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m attentive, patient, and great at reading animal behavior, whether that means giving energetic dogs plenty of exercise or providing calm, gentle care for seniors or anxious pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work part-time and set my own schedule, which allows me to be very flexible and accommodating to my clients’ needs. I’m able to adjust my availability for walks, drop-ins, or extended care, including weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize clear communication to ensure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I have a fenced-in yard and prioritize a calm, safe environment for all pets in my care. I have two cats who are kept comfortably separated with their own space when dogs are visiting, as I understand transitions can be challenging. I’m very mindful of introductions, happy to crate dogs if needed, and always follow owner preferences and routines to ensure pets feel secure and well cared for.

About: I've been a proud pet parent for over 25 years, and my love for animals goes all the way back to childhood. My fur babies are truly part of the family, and I’d treat yours with just as much love and care! Right now, I share my home with two wonderful companions: Finny Finster, a lively nine-month-old Shepsky pup who's full of personality, and Zahra, a graceful and independent two-year-old long-haired cat. Being deep in the puppy training stage with Finny has given me fresh experience and lots of patience, so I’d be more than happy to help care for your pup, too! I also have a soft spot for senior dogs. My sweet beagle, Jayne, was with me for 14 wonderful years. In her later years, she faced several health challenges, including injuries to both back legs and an eye tumor. I adapted my home to make life easier and more comfortable for her and administered her medications with care and lots of love. Whether your pet is a bouncing puppy or a wise old soul, I’m here to give them the same warmth, attention, and affection I give my own. I have a flexible schedule, allowing for drop-in visits and walks during the day. I am also available on Saturdays and Sundays to provide any services you may need. I’d love to take care of your pets right in your home, where they’re most comfortable. I'm reliable, trustworthy, and always make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved.

About: Hello! I'm a mother of 3 human kiddos and 1 low-key 3 year old dog! I've raised chickens and dairy goats, dogs and cats for years, so I definitely have my experience of large and small animal care. We’re homeschoolers, so are home most all day. I love taking energizing walks- so if you have an active dog, I'm the partner for her! For in-home care, I have 2 acres of yard, a long lane, and a wooded park at the end of the lane for lots of nature and walking! My yard is not fenced, so your dog will always be on-leash with me. If your dog loves to sniff in the leaves and loves his dose of nature, this is the place! There is lots to discover in the park behind us! We’re home all day except for driving to dance lessons. So your pup will have plenty of attention! This is the place for love and affection and lots of walks. Your dog will be kenneled at night, and then out for a potty and walk first thing in the morning. They’ll be out of the kennel for day time, a part of our daily activities, unless we leave the house, and then they’ll be kenneled. We’ll take them out for walks and leashed play several times/ day.

About: I have volunteered at the Animal Protective League for many summers, so I have lots of experience with cats/kittens, puppies, and dogs big and small. I have a sweet Shih Tzu-schnauzer named Lexi, and she is 12 years old. I adore working with animals, and have taken care of many furry loved ones. From friends to family, they have trusted and relied on me to take great care of their furry friends! My schedule is flexible to your pet needs. Throughout the school week I find time to spend with your furry friends and mine. On weekends I get up early and have ample amounts of time to check in, or walk your pets when needed! I have a large fenced yard, with my very friendly dog Lexi. She can roam, and use the restroom freely (since I pooper-scoop my yard daily), and she has lots of room to play. If your dog needs to be put in or taken out of a crate, I can do that. My main goal is that the pets are safe, loved, and keep their tails wagging!

About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 15 and love to play with and walk dogs of all kinds! Since I have a dog of my own I can only come to your house to sit but your dog will be in the comfort of their own home while I take care of them. I just quit my restaurant job and am looking for new ways to make money for the summer and beyond, so since I love dogs so much I figured this would be perfect. That being said I’m pretty much free all the time now. I will always make sure your dog does their business when I let them out and take them for walks and make sure they have a good time doing it. And when I house sit I will make sure they’re in the same type of environment as when you’re home with them.

I got my first dog in 6th grade (he’s still with me almost 18 years later). I’ve dog sat for both friends and family many times. I’ve walked dogs since I was little too. I’ve got 3 of my own! Plus 3 cats. I’m a huge animal lover and have adopted all of mine from the shelters (except for my 17 year old Maltese). If I had enough money, I’d open an animal shelter of my own. I love to go on long walks and runs and always take my dogs with me. I work full time so nights and weekends are usually my availability right now. I work from home part of the week too so I can be flexible those days! I have a big fenced in yard with 3 dogs of my own. All of them are friendly but I can crate dogs if necessary.

Ashley was absolutely amazing with Ark! He is a young, high-energy puppy who can definitely be a handful, but she took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout his stay. It was clear that she was patient, attentive, and genuinely cared about his well-being. Ark came home happy, healthy, and tired—which is not an easy accomplishment! I also really appreciated how welcoming she was and how comfortable she made the whole experience. I would trust her with Ark again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you so much for everything, Ashley!

About: I love talking to animals and letting them know what my intentions are to build trust. Wet or solid messes will be picked up, if baths or wash ups are needed count on me to make sure your fur baby is cared for when you aren’t home. I am a mom of two wonderful cats. I am experienced working with small and huge dogs patience is key your pet will be safe in my care:) I am a unemployed Army veteran looking for something to do that I love !!!! I moved here almost a year ago I seen so many places to go for walks and get out the house I’m not reckless I always check the surroundings of any potential harm in or outside of the home. I will treat your baby as it they were my own.

I'm so glad I picked Kassidy to board Beta while I was out of town! She was nearly the perfect dogsitter.

About: I have experience with all kinds of pets. From reptiles, felines, and mixed breed pups, to Pit Bulls and German Shepherds. I love them all 🫶🏾 I work from home for a minimal contact tech company. After my little ones leave for school at 8:30 AM, my schedule is completely flexible. We miss having fur babies around and will treat them as part of our family. I have mild mannered boys 8 and 6 that love nature and animals.
