“Mallory was absolutely amazing with Harvey & Jack🤍 She kept me updated throughout their stay, made them feel comfortable, & treated them like her own! Harvey immediately bonded with her (which says a lot because he’s very shy), & Jack came home happy, tired, & well cared for. She was attentive, communicative, & clearly loves animals. I would absolutely trust her with my boys again & highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, & patient with dogs of all personalities & sizes!”
“Kyungyeon was above and beyond the most incredible sitter for our Copper!! We got so many updates and made sure our boy was happy and comfortable the whole time!!!! We are so thankful!!”
“We received peace of mind by daily checkins with pictures or videos of our little pup. Our Daisy girl was in very good capable loving hands with Gabriel. We highly recommend him and will plan on booking him again if we need it.”
“Joshua was great from start to finish. He was flexible and accommodating, sent lots of updates, and Luna took to him immediately. We will absolutely rebook with him for future needs and are very happy to have had the chance to work with him!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Trent and his family!! They were incredibly attentive and accommodating! As soon as we arrived and my dog (German shepherd) met Rebekah, I instantly knew that our dog was in good hands. When I got back, my dog appeared happy to see me but not anxious to get back home…which warmed my heart because I knew she was being well cared for!”
“Karen was wonderful with our pups. She is very kind and adaptable. Her home is perfect for dogs, including the beautiful large fenced-in yard with lots of grass (and squirrels and birds for the pups to chase). Would highly recommend!”
“Katia was very helpful. Her home was clean and her dogs and kitten seemed to do well with Connor. Connor chewed his leash in two and Katia went and bought another and said we did not need to pay her back for the cost. Of course we did though. We would recommend Katia.”
“Julie and her family took incredible of our golden while we were out of the country!! This is our second time leaving Lily with Julie and we definitely will be again in the future. Thank you so much, again, Julie!! :)”
“Monica is always wonderful with our boy, Loki. He’s a hand full and she goes above and beyond to make him happy. We never worry about him while we are gone. We highly recommend Monika as a sitter for your fur babies!!!”
“Daisy really enjoyed her stay with Kailly. Kailly was kind, responsive and sent us photos of Daisy during her stay. She took the extra time to make sure our dog was comfortable with the other pets in the house. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Daisy stay with her again.”
“Alexis was great! From picking him up to dropping him off, and everything in between, our dog was happy and we had great peace of mind. She sent us pictures throughout our vacation with updates on our sweet guy.”
“Halie was amazing! Our dog had the best weekend with her pup. Accommodated us when we had to go out of town last minute and sent tons of updates with pictures and video. She is incredible!”
“Amy has been someone we trust with our furry friend. We've used her 3 or 4 times now and will continue to use her as we need. Easy to work with and great communication. Thank you, Amy.”
“Holli was incredible! She was willing to take my dog on short notice and I felt like he was in great hands. She sent me daily photos and was easy to communicate with. Thanks, Holli!”
“Chris made me and my fur baby feel comfortable in her home. I appreciate her time to meet us in her home and discuss our pet. Our fur baby suffers from separation anxiety but because of Chris’s personality and experience in caring for pets my boy was relaxed and therefore I was able to relax during our vacation. 100% recommend you to trust Chris with your fur baby. Thanks Chris!”
“When we picked up Shadow from her stay, she came back to us exactly how we left her—happy, healthy, and full of energy. All her needs were taken care of, from mealtime and naps to plenty of playtime in the backyard, which made us feel really at ease knowing she was so well looked after.”

I am always learning new things about dog behavior and training as it is one of my passions. I will treat your fur baby as my own. I am excited to get to know you and your fur baby. Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine because I am at home and I am excited to start taking care of other peoples pets. On the weekends at the moment I can fit in some later shifts, it is not listed, however I can. I will care for your pets the way you want me to take care of them. Tell me what you want me to do, and I will do it. These are your babies. I want to learn everything about them and care for them the way you care for them.

I keep water fresh, follow feeding schedules, and provide regular walks, playtime, and attention. I’m careful with doors, leashes, and any safety concerns to prevent escapes or accidents. I also respect the home by keeping it clean, organized, and treating it with care, just like I would my own.
“Kelly Lea did a phenomenal job caring my two kitties. They were well fed, and kept so happy with playtime and treats. It’s great to be able to enjoy your time away when you know that your fur babies are taken care off by such a caring and wonderful person as Kelly Lea. She kept us updated on their well being with messages and photos. She was on time to every visit even when she needed to adjust one of the visit times. Rest assured we will definitely book Kelly Lea for future needs, what a great experience for all.”

“Elizabeth was amazing she was thorough and left everything looking fabulous. We had an issue with our cat hiding because my husband left a door to the bathroom open and she was thorough and came back and found him in the closet which was completely our fault but she took time out of her schedule to locate Theo sleeping soundly in the closet. We will be using her again and would like to hire her for our next trip in October.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up around them, I learned early on that dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. Throughout my life, I’ve helped raise, nurture, and look after dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies who need patience and structure to older dogs who need gentle care and attention, I’ve always been comfortable meeting each dog’s unique needs. My experience includes feeding routines, playtime, basic reinforcement of good behaviors, and making sure dogs feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I pay close attention to a dog’s body language and personality so I can provide care that keeps them happy, calm, and engaged. Whether that means active outdoor time, mental stimulation, or simply relaxing companionship, I’m happy to adapt to what each dog enjoys most. Above all, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of affection. My goal is always to give owners peace of mind while making sure their dogs feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm very active and love spending time outdoors. I have a large fenced yard with a doggy door. I have two large breed dogs, (Great Pyrenees and a Golden Retriever) that are very friendly! Both of my dogs are up to date on their vaccinations, including flea and tick. Dogs are allowed on furniture and the bed. I spend a lot of time with my dogs playing outside and inside. I can accommodate crate training if needed.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of breeds, ages, and sizes. My family has a long history of rescuing dogs from shelters—especially those who struggled to find homes due to trauma, reactivity, or anxiety. With patience, structure, and consistent training, I have helped many of these dogs gain confidence and eventually transition into loving forever homes. Because of this, I’m experienced with: • Reactive, anxious, or shy dogs • Dogs with difficult backgrounds • Senior dogs • Puppies and high-energy breeds • Multi-dog household management I’m comfortable preparing homemade meals if your dog has dietary restrictions or special needs, and I’m always happy to follow any routine your pet requires. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which means your pup gets: • Frequent potty breaks • Lots of one-on-one time • Consistent supervision throughout the day I have high activity levels—great for energetic dogs who love walks and playtime—yet also have calm, patient personalities that help anxious or older dogs feel secure. I have two children: a 1-year-old daughter who is home full-time, and a 7-year-old son who is home outside of school and sports. Both kids adore dogs and have grown up understanding pet body language and boundaries. While i do ask that your dog be kid-friendly, i also make sure our children respect each dog’s comfort level and personal space. What You Can Expect • Reliable communication • Photo and video updates upon request • Safe, loving care tailored to your dog’s needs • Plenty of walks around our large subdivision filled with sidewalks, parks, and ponds—weather permitting • A warm, family-style environment with structure, comfort, and enrichment Your dog will truly be treated like part of our family while they’re here. 💛🐾 I truly love dogs—my two pups are part of everything we do, and they enjoy meeting new friends. My home is designed with safety, comfort, and flexibility in mind: • Fully enclosed 8-foot privacy fence for secure, weather-permitting outdoor play • Completely pet-proofed home • Multiple levels and gated areas for dogs who need separation • Retractable gates and room dividers for customized safe zones • Doggy Chill Space for crates, quiet rest areas, and decompression time If your dog prefers not to interact with other dogs (or only struggles with certain types—male, large, senior, etc.), i can easily provide full separation and rotating play schedules to ensure every dog has a calm, happy stay.

“Megan and Lois have been incredible with Milo! He's very energetic and loves to run, so I love that they have a fenced in backyard where he can run some of that energy off. He is always tired when I pick him up from daycare, which is rare for his breed :) It just shows that he's played hard, and I couldn't be happier with the care that Megan and Lois have given him at daycare. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

About: I volunteer and foster regularly with Homer's Helpers. I have experience with special needs animals ranging from diabetes, epilepsy, fear aggression, and severe separation anxiety.Any pets that stay in our home must be good with other dogs and cats as we have several in our home. I have a passion for animals of all shapes and sizes and have experience with small animals, reptiles, birds (large and small), and horses in addition to dogs and cats. I have had dogs since I was born. I have fostered many different breeds, from mutts, to pit bulls, to Great Pyrenees. Our dogs are Copper (Pom mix 12.5 lbs), Dexter (Golden Retriever 50lbs), and Versace (Pom mix 4.2lbs). All dogs that come to our home must be 30lbs or under as we don't want to risk our littles getting injured when they play. Our front yard is 1500sqft fully fenced and I have secured chicken wire to the bottom to ensure small dogs can't squeeze through. Our backyard is 500sqft fully privacy fenced, so we are able to accommodate dogs that could jump a 3ft. Our homes exterior is completely covered in security cameras so I can monitor the dogs at all times even if they are not in my immediate line of site. I am certified in dog and cat CPR/first aid through PetTech. I recently began a dog grooming apprenticeship. I am very comfortable giving medication, be it pills or injections I know how to do it. Any dogs that board in our home will be given a complementary "Night Night Cookie" as we call it. A buddy biscuit before bed. They are a healthy treat with no corn, wheat, or soy and come in many different flavors for dogs with different allergies. Dogs who board will be kenneled at night, we have crates available for use that are sanitized after each dog. We also feed meals in crates to avoid food aggression. I also offer Boss Dog frozen yogurt for $3 a serving and organic bone broth as a treat or food topper for $2. I can provide a lickimat or Kong filled with organic peanut butter for $2. I am able to provide Blackwood kibble for $2 a day if you forget to pack their regular kibble. We do also have a freezer that we can store raw food if needed. All dogs who board/play in our home must be up to date on vaccines or have a recent tider test. All dogs must be on current HW and flea prevention to be able to come to our home. We also have a dog treadmill that we can have dog boarding with us use to ensure adequate excercise during their stay. All dogs who board/play in our home must be up to date on vaccines or have a recent tider test, this is the policy of the rescue I work with in order to maintain my foster status. I have security cameras on the exterior of my home with all of both yards visible. I am planning on adding cameras in every room in the house. Dogs are crated to eat their meals to prevent food aggression. Toys are not made available until I have monitored how all the dogs in the home interact together on multiple occasions to ensure there is no resource guarding. All cabinets and closets are child locked so no dog is able to open them and get into anything they shouldn't. All dogs who board/play in our home must be up to date on vaccines or have a recent tider test. All dogs must be on current HW and flea prevention to be able to come to our home.

I do not have a fenced in yard, living on a huge property that they are allowed to run, but if your dog is an inside animal I am willing to bring him/her to my home. I have two friendly playful dogs of my own, they are a Golden Doodle, and a German Shorthaired Pointer. I am also willing to spend time at your home playing and walking your animals as well. I am willing to do play dates inside and outside.
About: I’ve spent the past 10 years or so dog sitting for 1-6 dogs at a time along with farm animals. I am welcome to caring for all animals! I will soon be off work full time and more than happy to take on dog walking / pet caring responsibilities as often as possible. I have a fenced in yard. I am willing to care for your animal at your home to keep them and you comfortable, also. I do not currently have pets but previously lived with multiple dogs, horses, and cats throughout my life.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every breed for about 15 years. My family runs a pet sitting business as well as fostering dogs. I grew up with all kinds of animals my whole life which made me into the animal lover I am today. I’ve been relied on to walk, feed, bathe, and play with the animals all my life. No breed is too much for me! I recently moved to the area, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur baby and spend plenty of time with them while I’m finding a job that best suits me! I have a pup of my own and he has lots of energy and will keep your fur baby busy! I live in a house with a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for your pup to run around!
