“Anna is a Godsend. Our dog was in the best hands possible while we were out of town. Stop your search and go with Anna!! I will recommend her to everyone I know who has a dog. Thank you!”
“Alexis was great with Bruno! I know he can be a lot to handle especially with his barking and his separation anxiety, but she worked with him and made it happen. Thank you so much! I would definitely book with her in the future!”
“Emily was the best dog sitter we have ever had! She made sure Sparky followed his usual schedule with feeding, walks and playtime. He got plenty of attention and love from Emily and her kids. We got frequent updates, pictures and videos, which reassured us Sparky was being well taken care of. We highly recommend Emily to anyone who wants a fabulous dog sitter!”
“Alisha is very kind and treats her dog guests like they are her own. She even allowed Ranji to sleep with her. He seemed to really love it there despite struggling with separation anxiety in the past. He came home so tired after playing at her house the entire time which is great because he can be high energy. Alisha communicates well and sent us a picture of Ranji while we were away.”
“Catherine did a great job with our anxious reactive little guy (9 yr old Morkie). She was very responsive and sent lots of photo updates. I recommend her if you have a dog that needs some personal space from other dogs that a normal kennel environment can’t provide.”
“Our dog Daisy was very well cared for. This was her first time being away from family and she took to Bree and her husband right away at the meet and greet. That initial interaction was very comforting. We'd love to have Bree sit for Daisy again!”
“Alexx and Tyler made us feel safe with our choice. They treated our pup, Bellatrix, as if she was their own. She even seemed hesitant to leave them after the four day weekend she spent there. They were friendly and flexible with times for both drop off and pick up. They reassured us early in our travel while also ensuring we had peace of mind on our vacation. 10 out of 10 we'll book again”
“Nancy and her husband have been by far the best dog sitters I have come across on this app. They are so sweet and accommodating. They took my pug in and treated her like one of their own. I always feel perfectly safe and at ease leaving her with them when I go out of town. They send plenty of pictures and updates and she has so much fun with them!”

“Michelle was the absolute best! Our girl had so much fun staying with her! The house was beautiful, clean, and spacious. Our dog was allowed to sleep on furniture and in the bed just like at home.

“Marcia was an exceptional dog sitter during my time away. She consistently provided updates, sharing pictures of my dogs throughout the day. Her flexibility in accommodating various aspects of their stay was greatly appreciated. Marcia's kindness and attentiveness were evident, and she kept me well-informed at all times. My two pups were thoroughly worn out from playing with her and her dog, which speaks to the level of care and attention they received. I highly recommend Marcia for any pet sitting needs!”
“Great communication and so sweet. I wasn’t worried about Jester the entire time I was out of town. He had a blast playing with his new friends! I definitely will be using Elissa again!”
About: I have had animals my entire life so I am very accustomed to taking care of pets. Our dog had seizures and had to take medication 2x/day. I know how important our animals are and what they mean to us. They are family. Having 3 pets of my own, animal care is in play 24 hours a day. Whether it's potty breaks, medications, or feeding time, I always make sure my animals are healthy and happy. Ensuring that they have food and water and a safe, warm place are of utmost importance. Providing love and affection because we are their whole world!

Throughout my life I’ve had many animals, most have been rescues we have saved. I love spending time with animals and believe they all have some kind of love to give . I love to give them the same love they give us.

About: I grew up with cats around a bit. I have volunteered many times at the humane society and donated countless items and money to animals sanctuaries etc. I raised a liter of kitties last summer and found homes for all of them and one of the homes happened to be with my sister, so I get my kids grow up.🥲 My mother and I rescued a 2 week old kitten last year that was abandoned. She seemed like she was missing her momma and sibs, so we found another kitten in need of a home and now they’re bonded 4 life!!
“Michelle was awesome! She is very genuine and loves animals. She took great care of our kitty Hazel. She completed all of the visits as planned and sent great images and messages about the visit. She made our first experience with Rover a great one! We will request her again!”
“Arita did an awesome dropping in on our golden this week! She took her on walks everyday, gave us pictures and feedback! We can tell our golden enjoys her! We would recommend Arita again and again!”
“Hayley is super nice! Things seemed to go smoothly with her visits with our kitty. She brought in a package for us that I wasn't expecting, so thanks so much for that! Left the place just as we left it.”
About: I grew up on a farm, surrounded by animals of all kinds from energetic puppies to senior dogs, barn cats, and even livestock. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior, respond calmly in unexpected situations, and provide gentle, consistent care. I also picked up a lot of practical skills, including how to support animals through stress, illness, or injury. Whether your dog needs extra patience, a structured routine, or just some good old-fashioned love and playtime, I’ve got them covered. I truly understand animals and I treat every pet like part of the family. Caring for animals has always been part of my everyday life. Whether it’s early morning walks, playtime, or keeping a routine for feeding and medication, I naturally build my day around what pets need. I’m used to adjusting my schedule to fit each animal’s routine whether it’s a puppy who needs extra attention or a senior dog who needs a slower pace. Pet care isn’t just a task for me it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. I follow each pet’s routine closely whether I’m in my home or yours. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs like meds or crate training. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in a clean and calm environment.
“⸻ Dara was absolutely amazing with Cate! She took care of her like she was her own—so sweet, reliable, and totally in tune with Cate’s little quirks and routines. I got daily updates with the cutest photos and videos, which made being away so much easier and more comforting. Cate can be a bit shy, but she clearly felt super safe and happy with Dara. I came home to a calm, cuddly cat and a spotless place. Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Dara—she’s a total gem!!”
“Bree was awesome and the cats appeared to like her also. She sent pictures and even took out the trash. We will be using her services again. It is so relaxing to be away and know that your pets are happy and well taken care of. I can't say enough about Bree.”
About: I was born into a family of pet lovers. We have had a wide array of pets in our home-cats, dogs, lizards, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish and more. I have become my church and friends' go-to pet sitter for years. I not only provide the love and care that pets need, I am also a licensed pet massage therapist, so your pet will get extra love! I am self-employed, so my schedule varies and is very open for providing top notch pet care. My day is better when I am able to provide love and care for animals! I provide pet care in your home and am able to work with your pet(s) specific needs and schedules. I want them to feel as unaffected by your absence as possible!
“I really appreciate Devin’s availability and willingness to respond to me when I blew up her phone ;) I literally could not find a pet sitter in this area that would respond to me. I have a lot of anxiety about leaving my dogs, and so it was nice to have someone who responded so quickly. (On a semi-unrelated note to pet sitting, she also took really cute pictures of my dogs which was helpful to my daughter while we were gone).”
About: I am an avid animal lover and find joy in spending time with animals of all kinds, from cats and dogs to birds and farm animals! I am a vegetarian and love forming connections with pets and animals. My very first paycheck earned was after cat sitting for my neighbor at 10 years old. Since then I have worked over night as a house sitter/pet sitter, drop-in pet feeder, and have raised and litter box trained my own three cats since they were just a few weeks/months old. I am capable of walking dogs in all weather, playing with and interacting with animals, and cleaning up after the messes they can make. I utilize open communication with all pet families and owners. One thing that sets me apart from other sitters is that I have a very caring nature and have worked full time as a nanny for young children and babies since 2019. Transparent communication and love are my specialities! I am working part time during the week and would be available to provide services before 8:30 am and after 4:00 pm. I am typically pretty available on the weekends at any time as well. I am not able to provide pet care in my home for others. I am comfortable caring for your pet at your home and in your neighborhood. I have trusting references for my experience and professionalism.
“Gracyn is absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my babies. They’re was no sign of stress or separation anxiety in my pets (two dogs) when I got back after 6 days. Even my very shy cat was herself when I returned! I didn’t have any stress either (lol, very important!) and I was able to enjoy myself knowing they were being watched over so well. I will definitely use Gracyn again.”

“Stephanie did great watching our pup. We needed a sitter last minute and she was quick to respond & help out. She took Harley on a walk and sent us update pics. Harley was exhausted when she got home which is not an easy thing to do, so she must have had fun. We will definitely be using Stephanie again.”
“Our dog is an hour into her first time ever being with a dogsitter. Anna is so amazing! She sent me pics right away and said that they already love Porsha. Then she offered to give her a bath. I am blown away.”
“Alexis is absolutely amazing in every way, upon first meeting her I could tell how kind hearted she was making it calm my mind of any worries that one may have leaving their fur babies with a stranger. Since Max has been going to Alexis he absolutely loves it, he had friends to play with and she makes sure they get plenty of play time and sends me updates throughout the day. At first Max would try to leave when I left after dropping him off, now he doesn't care about me when I drop him off. When I come to pick him up he is excited to see me but doesn't want to leave his friends. So I must say thank you Alexis for taking such good care of Max and giving him the love and care that I would while I'm at work I truly appreciate you and all that you do.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. My dogs have been and always will be members of the family. We currently do not have a dog as our 14 year old lab passed away from a stroke last year. We do allow dogs on furniture and we do take excursions to the park in good weather. This can be your dogs home away from home. I am retired and am home unless I am traveling. We have a fenced in property with woods and a creek that your dog can enjoy on walks unless you prefer they just stay in the main yard. When your dog is here so am I to ensure your dog is well cared for. I have a single family home with a fenced yard. Pets are allowed on furniture and bed. I enjoy excursions to the park with my dog for walks and relaxing. Children are grown and gone so it's just a couple who enjoy dogs. We have a senior Labrador who is very friendly, has all vaccinations and has free roam of the house. I am also available to sit for your dog in your home if you prefer. I follow any instructions for your dog you want me to, including administering medications.
About: I am working on some pretty amazing updates. Additional outdoor yards are in the works, as well as a perimeter fence around the home property! I have also added Tracki to my collars. Tracki runs on global GPS (satellite feedback) and not cellular feedback, giving that extra security for your pups with no interruption in tracking! Bark & Barn is a privately insured in-home kennel that provides overnight and day boarding options as well as drop-in visits/walks for all pets, exotic included. I also provide optional training for dogs. I have five years of experience as a veterinary assistant in a high volume multi-species setting. With this, I have gained the knowledge, training, and experience in animal behavior as well as proper technique in safe animal hold, administering all forms of medication, administering emergency fluids, and animal CPR. Your pups will have access to multiple sections of my home, a fenced play yard, and walks over 120 acres of farm fields and streamed woods! I offer basic puppy training during board and day stays, including potty and crate training. I will gladly accept shark puppies, understanding completely how difficult these pups can be for many caretakers who are not experienced in their breed characteristics. I've worked with and owned dogs for over 17 years. I have a preference for high energy/high drive dogs, though I love all of them just the same. I am a farm mom of school aged children, work remotely, a full-time online student at KCC while my kids sleep, and have plenty of time to devote to your pets. I will follow strict biosecurity and safety measures. I am by no means a "doggy playcare". For their and my safety, I do not allow guest pups to interact together. I have sectioned off portions of my home and large basement for roam, and utilize sanitized in-home kennels for overnight and unattended times as well as movement of guests (inside, outside, walks, etc). I currently have full availability outside of school drop-off in the mornings and flexible pick-ups in the afternoon. I spend my free time caring for my own animals and attending online classes and seminars! I have a knack for social cues and when and how to approach. Discipline is and will always be reinforcement based. I have experience with reactive dogs and understand any dog can be reactive in the right setting, so meet and greets are a must! Our personal working dogs are not within the home's boundaries and remain with their flock at all times.

I am flexible in my schedule and can accommodate to anyones needs. I have a car to get to where I need to go, so I don’t have many things holding me back from giving your pet the care it needs. I have always been very respectful and caring for my animals, and I believe they deserve the utmost care. I care that the pets know my smell and my voice and trust me completely- I do not want any animal to feel as if there is a stranger in their home that they need to be wary of. I will do my very best to provide the most comforting experience for them.

About: I’ve loved walking and caring for dogs and cats since I was 13 years old. I treat every pet with kindness, patience, and care as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am available most days. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet care needs. I prefer caring for pets in their own home, where they feel comfortable and safe. I follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away, and I always keep their safety and well-being my top priority.
About: I grew up on a farm, surrounded by animals of all kinds from energetic puppies to senior dogs, barn cats, and even livestock. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior, respond calmly in unexpected situations, and provide gentle, consistent care. I also picked up a lot of practical skills, including how to support animals through stress, illness, or injury. Whether your dog needs extra patience, a structured routine, or just some good old-fashioned love and playtime, I’ve got them covered. I truly understand animals and I treat every pet like part of the family. Caring for animals has always been part of my everyday life. Whether it’s early morning walks, playtime, or keeping a routine for feeding and medication, I naturally build my day around what pets need. I’m used to adjusting my schedule to fit each animal’s routine whether it’s a puppy who needs extra attention or a senior dog who needs a slower pace. Pet care isn’t just a task for me it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. I follow each pet’s routine closely whether I’m in my home or yours. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs like meds or crate training. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in a clean and calm environment.
About: I have been taking care of dogs all of my life. Yrs ago I worked at an pet resort and LOVED IT! I was a dog groomer for 5yrs. I own a Chihuahua, black Lab, 3 cats, 6 chickens and a rabbit. I love all breeds and sizes. I have taken care of dogs with daily medication. I know how to give dog pills if needed. I treat all animals like they are part of the family. I love to see their different personalities. Taking care of dogs is not a job to me it is a pleasure to be able to spend time with them and take care of them. Doggies make me happy :-) I currently work part time but even when I am not home there's usually someone home. I can take care of animals before or after work if needed. I am very attentive when I take care of animals. I refuse to be outside without them being on a leash. I watch carefully for signs of what they are needing. Always give plenty of love and I love getting kisses!
About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had an animal in my life. I got a puppy at a young age and cared for him up until the day he passed. Since becoming an adult, I adopted a kitten and continue to care for him. He is now 6 and the light of my life! I have an extremely flexible schedule! I currently work part time with a lot of availability. I’m available at almost any hour of the day. I currently have a cat but he has his own space if tensions were to rise. I have a mid sized unfenced yard, but I know of multiple dog parks. I’m available to cuddle up with animals or wear out some energy!
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for caring for pets. I've spent my whole life around animals and currently share my home with four wonderful cats and one happy dog. Growing up with pets taught me how to understand their needs, respect their boundaries, and provide the love and attention they deserve. I'm kind, compassionate, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether it's a long walk, a play session, or just quiet companionship. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.

About: I have had cats all of my life, ranging from young kittens to elderly cats (fun fact: my oldest cat lived into her 20’s). I respect their space, play with them, and give them all of the love I can. While I currently don’t own a dog, I am comfortable with them as well. When offering services in home, I am available to grab your packages, do light cleaning, water your plants, and send you cute photos of your babies. I work full time at an 8-4 job. I can come in before or after work plus full availability on the weekends to come care for your pets. I will always respect the animal’s space and make them feel as comfortable as possible. I would wait for them to warm up to me rather than forcing them into an uncomfortable situation.

“Alexis was great with Bruno! I know he can be a lot to handle especially with his barking and his separation anxiety, but she worked with him and made it happen. Thank you so much! I would definitely book with her in the future!”
“Emily was the best dog sitter we have ever had! She made sure Sparky followed his usual schedule with feeding, walks and playtime. He got plenty of attention and love from Emily and her kids. We got frequent updates, pictures and videos, which reassured us Sparky was being well taken care of. We highly recommend Emily to anyone who wants a fabulous dog sitter!”
“Alisha is very kind and treats her dog guests like they are her own. She even allowed Ranji to sleep with her. He seemed to really love it there despite struggling with separation anxiety in the past. He came home so tired after playing at her house the entire time which is great because he can be high energy. Alisha communicates well and sent us a picture of Ranji while we were away.”
“Catherine did a great job with our anxious reactive little guy (9 yr old Morkie). She was very responsive and sent lots of photo updates. I recommend her if you have a dog that needs some personal space from other dogs that a normal kennel environment can’t provide.”
“Our dog Daisy was very well cared for. This was her first time being away from family and she took to Bree and her husband right away at the meet and greet. That initial interaction was very comforting. We'd love to have Bree sit for Daisy again!”
“Alexx and Tyler made us feel safe with our choice. They treated our pup, Bellatrix, as if she was their own. She even seemed hesitant to leave them after the four day weekend she spent there. They were friendly and flexible with times for both drop off and pick up. They reassured us early in our travel while also ensuring we had peace of mind on our vacation. 10 out of 10 we'll book again”

“Marcia was an exceptional dog sitter during my time away. She consistently provided updates, sharing pictures of my dogs throughout the day. Her flexibility in accommodating various aspects of their stay was greatly appreciated. Marcia's kindness and attentiveness were evident, and she kept me well-informed at all times. My two pups were thoroughly worn out from playing with her and her dog, which speaks to the level of care and attention they received. I highly recommend Marcia for any pet sitting needs!”
