“Mary and Marty were such amazing sitters for my dog Leo! He had a great little vacation being doted on by them♥️ Mary was incredibly responsive and sent lots of adorable photos. You could tell they gave him lots of loving attention. I felt very comfortable leaving my little guy in their hands. He got all of his food and medication, and was very calm and happy when I picked him up. 10/10 recommend and will be rebooking. Thank you!”
“Lilliana was great and accommodated our change in schedule. Communication was fantastic from start to finish. She also took care of my pet's special needs..it was truly a pleasure to have Peachy in her care.”
“My dog has horrible separation anxiety so I dread trips away from home. Using the warm and cozy home of Janis and Devin was the perfect solution. I received multiple pictures every day. I could tell my dog was happy and feeling a part of the family. When I picked him up he was not crazed and inconsolable. He also has not been extra anxious at home as he usually gets. I will use Janis and Devin again and again. I have the highest esteem and praise for their business. I HIGHLY recommend!”
“Shawne was great! She took care of our Winston for us over a long weekend and tolerated the fact he didn't like her kitties so much! He was a bit anxious at her house the first night, and she changed his surroundings and got him settled down for the 2nd night. I appreciate her watching our anxious boy!”
“Jeremiah did a wonderful job watching over our temperamental Aussie. He was well exercised, ate his food normally and seemed very comfortable with Jeremiah. We will be booking with Jeremiah again.”
“1st time using Rover and Mark and Nancy were very accommodating. My wife was very anxious because this was the first time we were dropping off our fur babies for someone else other than family to look after them. Mark and Nancy did not disappoint. The updates that we got put my wife at ease. No worries here. For sure we will look to Mark and Nancy again in the future.”
“Fantastic boarding experience. The daily pictures and videos put my mind at ease while on my trip. I will definitely be rebooking here for my next trip. 5 stars and highly recommended! Thank you”
“Pam was wonderful! Very sweet and loving to my boys. Large yard for sniffing and running around which is paradise for them! Pam was so flexible on drop off/pick up times and always kept me updated on how my dogs were doing. Will definitely take them back for more fun!”
“Christina is awesome! Because of my job, sometimes my requests are super last-minute. She’s been awesome with working around my schedule. My pup had a blast at her place and came home exhausted. She will continue to be my go-to sitter!”
“We were very happy with the care Jordan provided for our boy; she updated us on how he was adjusting in their environment; and she even sent pictures of him playing with her children and hanging out with their dog, it was a great experience for our family!”
“If anyone is looking for a Dog sitter I would highly recommend Catherine! She was absolutely amazing with my puppy Roxy. Her communication with me during Roxy’s entire stay was excellent, never once leaving me in the dark about what was going on or what to expect. I will definitely be using her again in the near future!?”
“Angelique was wonderful to our little meatloaf while we were out of the country. She sent us many photos and kept us updated on anything new. We will definitely go with Angelique if we need a dog sitter in the future.”
“What can I say about Natasha..... we absolutely loved her!!!! This was the 1st time we were away from Denim since we adopted him in May. He's so skittish around new people we were afraid to leave him anywhere. Natasha assured me he'd be in great hands and boy was she right. She spoiled him and loved on him just as we would have. She was available last minute (3hrs before on a holiday weekend) which wad so great. We met at her home and stayed for about 15-20mins until Denim felt comfortable and let her give him belly rubs. She was super patient and didn't mind me checking in on him. She even provided me some photos of him relaxing like he took over her home. I'm super thankful for all she did and would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a trusting person to care for their fur baby. I can't wait to contact her again in the future ??”
“Victoria was great with Penny! She watched our ~1 year old ~ 7 pound Cavapoo while we were here for a football game. Friday evening - Sunday morning. Victoria was very friendly and responsive! Penny felt right at home as soon as we showed her around Victorias place. Victoria went above and beyond for Penny and we’d definitely recommend her / plan to work with her again next time we bring Penny for a Football weekend. Penny got along well with Victoria’s dog Koco too. Thank you Victoria!”
About: I've grown up living with dogs and have been the primary trainer for my family's dogs. I do pretty well working with new pets and can handle full size dogs. I'm an engineer who gets home from work around 4 or 5PM. My weekends are empty 3/4 weekends a month. I can do overnights on Sunday and during the work week if your dog is used to being alone 9-5. I have a small yard, and live next to the beach. I typically walk my dog to the beach 2-3 times a day on the weekend and she swims often. I usually use a harness to walk dogs, never leave them unattended outside since I have no fence. Make sure they have food twice a day and water always full.
“Lynn is wonderful and a sweet soul! She did an amazing job taking great care of Ollie! He was in great hands with her while I was away. He really enjoyed himself with her and her two fur babies💜. I'm so happy Ollie made new friends! She provided me with daily updates and sent me pictures of Ollie which was nice. She's responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely cares. Usually Ollie doesnt eat a lot and grazes when hes been boarded before but he ate like normal with her! I really appreciated the check list forms and medical release I completed for her - it only took two seconds to complete and it just shows the care and responsibility she has with caring for my pup! That made me feel good! I would not hesitate to recommend her and will definitely use her again to watch Ollie in the future!!”
“Jamie really helped us out by taking in Buddy on short notice allowing us to meet the sweet newest addition to our family. We could tell he had a very good time based on falling asleep immediately on the drive home. She was very good at communication. Highly recommend.”

“We had never used Liliana before, but we were really happy with how everything went. She was very professional from the start and took the time to meet with us and the cats ahead of the visits, which immediately made us feel comfortable. She was thorough during each drop-in and handled everything we asked for without any issues. Her updates were thoughtful and detailed, and we really appreciated the photos and notes about how the cats were doing each time she stopped by. Overall, it was a great experience. We felt confident leaving our cats in her care and would definitely use her again in the future.”

“Emily took excellent care of Lefty, our very senior cat. Maybe it was just my imagination, but Lefty seems disappointed we have returned and Emily didn’t come back😊 Well done Emily. Thank you!”
About: I've taken care of my dogs, pugs and a lab, since I was a child. I've also dog sat for family members dealing with a wide range of dogs. I'm currently working part-time and going to school part-time, and would love to check in on dogs and take them on walks before and after school/work. Available to walk and check in on dogs anytime before 8 and anytime after 7. I can be flexible on times during certain days as my work schedule changes. I will follow any rules my clients have for their house and their dog. I'm able to let dogs out on a leash or in a fenced in yard. Will spend some time giving the animal the love and attention it deserves.
About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life, and through those years they interest me more and more. I had/have multiple cats and dogs, and the connection with them has been something I couldn’t imagine not experiencing. Plus, the knowledge I have gained from being around familiar animals makes me feel I would love experiencing new things with other pets, and get to know their unique personalities. With that being said, I am open to almost any training/service necessary for your dog(s) or cat(s) needs and would love to get to know your fuzzy family! I’ve just started school, and my classes are every weekday from 5:30 pm to 10 pm, just so you’re aware if that contradicts any booking requirements you need. I have my own pets to take care of, but other than that I don’t have consistent routines that would get in the way of the times and dates I’m available. For drop-ins, I will do feedings, outdoor/potty time, and get to know your pet(s). If there’s any questions or other service not noted that you’d like to ask I can do, I would be happy to answer. Walks- I do at least 15 minute walks, and up to 90 minute walks. More characterized questions, such as walking area or what certain necessities your pet(s) needs can be discussed once I have contact/a schedule with you.
About: I am a registered nurse with a passion for animals of all kind. I have Years of obedience and agility training with dogs and 20 plus years with horses! I have the options of in house or barn boarding/ combos throughout the day depending on what your dog prefers!!! In house would be access to my family and all home luxuries! The barn is a 10x12 kennel with matted stalls and access to a huge outdoor play lot. My dog yard is a spacious 1/2 acre and fully fenced! Your dogs will see a horse and donkey in the pasture behind the yard! Safety comes first inside of my home as I do have children. Let your pup come have some fun! Living the farm animals are my life! I am a mother and work a few flexible short nursing shifts here and there so home A LOT! I have a secure and sturdy fenced in yard with lots of room to roam around. When I am home they can be in or out as much as they please! Free range while I’m not home just dog dependent. If your dog prefers to be outside in the kennel with access to fresh air while needing a safe space while I’m away for a minute that’s an option too! Again dog dependent as safety is my priority but we love hikes, walks and outings which they are more than welcome to join in on!
“Natasha did a great job watching my three cats while I was out of town recently. Communication was on point, she did as I asked in regards to feeding them, and genuinely seemed to care about my fur kids. Would definitely recommend.”

“Jennifer was great! I hadn't followed up with her regarding access to Legend but yet she remained diligent regarding gaining access to him. I also appreciated her willingness to work with Legend. Being that he is a pit bull that can be intimidating to most but she took on the challenge. Thank you again Jennifer! I hope to book you in the future.”
“Kiersten was kind enough to take a last minute booking and did a great job with all of our cats. We we fostering and had a full house and some unique instructions and she handled it like a pro. Plan on booking again in the future!”
“Timothy is very prompt, patient, and thorough with his drop in visits. Showed up on time and made sure to hit all his items on the punch list I gave him. My dog can be very excitable and he was very patient with her. I was very worried about leaving my babygirl with a stranger and he put all my worries at ease. I will definitely be using Timothy in the future.”
“Gia was an excellent house sitter and pet sitter. I have two older cats, and was a little nervous about leaving them for two weeks. But when I returned, my house was clean, my cats were happy and well fed, and my mail was stacked on the kitchen table. Gia contacted me several times during my vacation, and sent photographs and video of the cats at home. I highly recommend her!”

“Justin was AMAZING in taking care of our 2 fur babies while we were in town for vacation. My black lab, who is very shy, warmed up to him right away which I knew was a very good indicator that they were in good hands. I will be using him from now on whenever I am in town.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and love all breeds. We truly don’t deserve them. My soul dog, Abo, passed away 1.5 years ago and I have been watching and walking dogs for extra money ever since. I’m a college professor working a very flexible schedule and I’d love to walk or watch your dog! I live on the east side of Beverly Shores and also have a place in the city 🌆. I’m down to house sit or watch them at my place. I have local references and would love to meet your dog if I haven’t already 😊 I’m teaching part-time this term, so I have plenty of time to walk your dogs, give them some love, tell them they are good dogs, get some fresh air, exercise and sunshine. ☀️ When I board a dog it is all about them! They are basically on vacation having the best time and getting all the attention and affection they want. 🙂
“Marshmallow had a WONDERFUL first experience at Nancy & Mark’s Day Care! Sooo wonderful she’s scheduled for future Day Care dates as well as an upcoming Boarding weekend. I couldn’t be happier to have found a place, close to home, where my sweet, but scared and anxious, rescue is FINALLY comfortable other than with me!! Due to past trauma, Marshmallow suffers from SEVERE separation anxiety and can be fearful around large dogs, thus the fact that there is always a person present as well as the laid back and comfortable environment provided by Nancy & Mark was ABSOLUTELY perfect to calm ALL Marshmallow and Mommy’s concerns!! I was sent pictures, a video and updates throughout her stay. We truly feel blessed to have found such a GREAT fit!!!”
“I’ve been bringing my dog, Mykonos, to Lynn for daycare, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. Every morning, he gets so excited to go back, which says everything about how comfortable and happy he feels with her. He comes home calm and content, showing no signs of stress or anxiety. It gives me real peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Lynn clearly cares deeply for the dogs she looks after, and I’m grateful for the warm, safe environment she provides.”
About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now. With all the free time on my hands, and I would love to get the chance to spend it walking and playing with your fur babies! In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!
“I don’t think I can say enough good about Haley and Pierce. Pierce is the perfect combination of laid back and playful. He patiently tolerated her initial over-excitement and then ran and played “chase” with her at the beautiful park where Haley took them. Haley was friendly and professional, providing frequent updates and photos. I will most definitely be using Haley again!”
“Great first experience with Rover. Jordan took her last minute early in the morning and allowed me to pick her up late in evening. We really appreciated the flexibility and it appears Nylah was well taken care of and had a good time. Thank you ?”
“Jeremiah is definitely a dog person. My pup couldn't wait to greet him the second time I hired him, going right up to him and wagging her tail. The surroundings of his place are perfect for the walks he takes her on - lots to sniff and explore. He is very conscientious about securing her with a double leash.Thank you, Jeremiah.”
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you're away. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, and following each dog's normal routine and care instructions. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they're in my care, while also giving you peace of mind knowing they're being well taken care of. As a stay-at-home mom, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm home throughout the day, which gives me plenty of time to provide pets with attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, feeding, and companionship. I have a flexible schedule and can easily adjust to each pet's normal routine and needs. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will have someone around to make them feel comfortable and cared for while they're away from home. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for someone else's pet. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and given plenty of attention while in my care. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, routines, walks, medications, and any special needs. I also understand that every pet has a different personality, so I give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable in a new environment. I want every owner to have peace of mind knowing their pet is safe, happy, and being treated like part of the family.
About: Dogs are a part of my soul and will be well cared for. Including walks, playtime, food, water and a doggy door. I cannot wait to meet your pup. I am a stay at home dog Mom. I am always available unless I am running errands. I do 2 meals a day and walk in the afternoon. My pets rule the roost. I will take care of your pets as if they are my own. Also, if I am in your home I will be respectful as if it is my own.
About: I enjoy having dogs, and started using this website when I went out of town. Because of this, I know the high standard of care I expect from my sitter, and what you should expect too. I will take the time and care you would for your own dog. I'll give them snuggles, playtime, and lots of outside time depending on the crazy weather we have here of course. Myself and my doggy friends love to take walks, play tug-of-war, fetch and other games your dog enjoys or might enjoy. If your dog comes to our house we have a fully enclosed backyard. It is a great big yard enough to play fetch with a few dogs at the same time. Some just like to sun bathe and watch everyone else run around. Your dogs will have so much fun, and will be well loved while they are here. When my doggie friends come back for a visit the owners tell me the dogs are excited when they turn down my street. I have a Yorkie named Jack, and 3 mini Bernedoodles named Elenor, Dahlia, and Franklin. I am not taking unneutered or unspayed dogs at this time. I have lots of available hours to spend with your pets. My schedule is consistent usually, but fairly open. In the past, I was walking dogs. Not sure if I am going to start doing that or not. I have a fenced in yard and 4 dogs to keep your dog company. We can play in the yard or hang out in the house. I have lots of toys and balls.
“LiLi had a great time at Kimberlee’s. When I came to pick her up, she was still trying to run around and play with their dog, Odie, who has become one of LiLi’s best pals.”
About: Animals and children seem to come to me very easily. I believe it is the energy I give off they can feel my love. L I am dedicated to taking care of animals so therefore I am available for you most of the time. I'm very convenient. I live in town. My home is very clean. I do not have dangerous things around for your animal to get a hold of. I'm very responsible. Love/food key
About: With over 20 years of experience as a dog mom and countless years of house and pet sitting for families, I’m passionate about providing loving and attentive care to your pets. My journey began in Oak Park, IL, where I worked as a trusted nanny and babysitter for families—many of whom had furry, feathered, or scaly companions. Now, as a mom myself, I focus exclusively on house and pet sitting, offering all the love and premium care to help your pet feel spoiled. I have a heart for all animals but an especially soft spot for dogs. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals, including chickens, house birds, turtles, frogs, and hamsters, so I’m comfortable with pets big and small! Whether your pup needs walks, cuddles, or just a calm presence in the home, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Your pets are family, and I treat them as such—with respect, kindness, and a whole lot of love. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered, or scaly) family members! I’m available Monday through Sunday from 6am to 8pm. I’m also happy to accommodate earlier or late-night pet care requests whenever possible. I own a full time home and pet care company where I provide house care and pet care fully insured! When I care for pets in their home, I do my best to make sure they feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible—just like they would if their family were there. I follow their usual routine closely, ensuring they get their meals and any medication right on schedule. I keep their space clean, tidy, and welcoming, so they always feel at ease. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I provide plenty of affection and attention. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected while you’re away. My goal is to ensure your pets feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for in the place where they feel safest—their own home.
“Kiana was great. We were visiting from out of town and wanted to bring our fur baby. However, the weather was extremely cold and my daughter and I wanted to go to the outlet mall but had no clue what to do with our pup. I reached out to Kiara and god a near immediate response. We were able to enjoy our trip and our pup was happy too. She got a walk and lots of love and attention and had a blast playing with her dog. She was nice and worn out for our long car ride home. Definitely recommend!”
About: Ive always had pets growing up my whole life, I started watching other people’s pets my last year of high school. I love all animals and I care for them like they are my own. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet behind when going on vacation, work calls, etc. which is why I keep all owners updated and informed on how their fur babies are doing. I currently work a 9-5, M-F. However my boyfriend gets off work at 3. Which is why I have my availability set to the weekends. I am not opposed to weekdays I just want to be up front about my schedule. I live on a half acre but we are out in the country surrounded by open fields. Therefore we have plenty of room to run, walk, and play, I also have two dogs myself to keep yours company and play! I do crate my own dogs when I leave the house because we have an open pantry and we’ve had trips to the vet because of things being eaten that should not have been… Therefore I prefer to crate dogs when I leave the house.
About: We have always had pets (Mostly Dogs) growing up and have never met a dog or cat that didn't like us. We are the type of people that animals (Fur Babies) just feel at ease with. From the smallest of toy and lap dogs to the much larger Great Danes and Mastiffs. We will always get along, even the dog that nobody can handle and scares them. My patients never wears thin and eventually all, even the most stubborn pet warms up to me. Any pet under our supervision will always be taken care of from walks, to alone time to calm their nerves if need be but NEVER neglected. We truly believe that your Dogs and/or Cats should and will be treated just you would. Thanks, Between my wife and I we are essentially available 24/7. And hope to accommodate any ones schedule. Our routine will be scheduled around whatever is needed We have a full half acre completely fenced in (Wooden privacy fence). And of course whatever it is you and your dogs like enjoy we will accommodate.

“Madyson was amazing!! Not only did my dog absolutely love her she was available the same day within hours of needing someone to watch my pup. I can’t say enough good things about her. I received cute pictures and she even tidied up the dog toys and bedding etc. I would HIGHLY recommend using Madyson for your furry friends.”
About: I enjoy taking care of a variety of pets, and have helped care for many over the years. I have experience from everything as small as hamsters up to horses. I currently have dogs, cats, ferrets, and a horse. Many friends and family have relied on me for advice or to care for their pets. I’m available most days any time after 8am for pet sitting or dog walks! I can also do multiple drop in visits throughout the day! Normally at home I feed the dogs dinner, my mother does breakfast! I also take them out for walks around the yard. In your home I would do whatever is asked, and clean up any messes made.
About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now. With all the free time on my hands, and I would love to get the chance to spend it walking and playing with your fur babies! In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!

I don’t have any pets of my own, but I’m good at making anyone’s pets friendly with me. I’ve done daily check-ins and up to two weeks staying at someone’s house to keep their dog active and happy.
About: I have been around all sorts of animals since I was a baby. I had a German shepherd growing up. Now I own a hound mix who is very energetic and keeps me busy which I like. While I was in college I worked at my teams stable and took care of my coaches horses, chickens, and her donkey. Since I own a dog of my own, pet care is in my every day life. I am a server at Dante’s house of pizza. Even with my busy work schedule I still have plenty of time to take my own dog to the park, walk him, and play with him. I want to share my love by taking care of other peoples animals. I can ensure them that their furry friends will be safe in my care. My dog’s name is Gino and he loves being outdoors whenever we can be. He loves going on walks with other dogs. He is really happy when I take him to my friend’s house to play with their dogs. My dog is very spoiled and gets to snuggle up with me in bed. I am responsible to take him to the vet when he needs his yearly check up. I make sure he is well groomed and well fed.
About: I’m currently employed as a kennel manager at a dog daycare and boarding facility in Burns Harbor, Indiana. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life.

I work full time, but my schedule allows me to be available in the afternoons and evenings when I’m on day shifts (off around 2–3 PM). During the weeks I work night shifts, I have daytime availability. I am available all day Wednesday and Sundays. I am very flexible regarding your animals care to ensure they stay comfortable and remain in the same routine while you are away. My care ranges from young puppies to older dogs that may need more attention. I provide feedings, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, etc.
About: We have always had pets (Mostly Dogs) growing up and have never met a dog or cat that didn't like us. We are the type of people that animals (Fur Babies) just feel at ease with. From the smallest of toy and lap dogs to the much larger Great Danes and Mastiffs. We will always get along, even the dog that nobody can handle and scares them. My patients never wears thin and eventually all, even the most stubborn pet warms up to me. Any pet under our supervision will always be taken care of from walks, to alone time to calm their nerves if need be but NEVER neglected. We truly believe that your Dogs and/or Cats should and will be treated just you would. Thanks, Between my wife and I we are essentially available 24/7. And hope to accommodate any ones schedule. Our routine will be scheduled around whatever is needed We have a full half acre completely fenced in (Wooden privacy fence). And of course whatever it is you and your dogs like enjoy we will accommodate.
About: Hey Friends! My name is Julia Guy. I bring 17 years of hands‑on animal care experience from the equine industry, pet care centers, and veterinary support roles. I’ve worked as a wrangler, equine caretaker, pet care technician, and veterinary technician, which has given me extensive experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m confident with energetic dogs, seniors, anxious pets, and animals needing structured routines or extra patience. My approach is calm, attentive, and safety‑focused, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality. Your animals will receive reliable, compassionate care every visit. I currently work part‑time as a veterinarian, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop‑ins, and consistent daily care. I prioritize each pet’s schedule and ensure they receive reliable attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the week. As a resident of Northern Indiana, I have access to many free public parks and walking trails that offer plenty of exercise and entertainment. In my home, pets have a safe, structured environment with a fenced yard and two friendly dogs for companionship if they love meeting new friends. I follow each pet’s routine closely, provide calm, attentive handling, and ensure they feel secure. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain consistency with feeding, exercise, and training preferences, and keep communication open so owners always know how their pet is doing.

“Mary and Marty were such amazing sitters for my dog Leo! He had a great little vacation being doted on by them♥️ Mary was incredibly responsive and sent lots of adorable photos. You could tell they gave him lots of loving attention. I felt very comfortable leaving my little guy in their hands. He got all of his food and medication, and was very calm and happy when I picked him up. 10/10 recommend and will be rebooking. Thank you!”
“Lilliana was great and accommodated our change in schedule. Communication was fantastic from start to finish. She also took care of my pet's special needs..it was truly a pleasure to have Peachy in her care.”
“Shawne was great! She took care of our Winston for us over a long weekend and tolerated the fact he didn't like her kitties so much! He was a bit anxious at her house the first night, and she changed his surroundings and got him settled down for the 2nd night. I appreciate her watching our anxious boy!”
“Jeremiah did a wonderful job watching over our temperamental Aussie. He was well exercised, ate his food normally and seemed very comfortable with Jeremiah. We will be booking with Jeremiah again.”
“Shanie's dog boarding for my puppy for 2 weeks deserves the highest rating --she sent little reports and photos and videos at least 2x/day which I loved and my puppy loved her home, expansive outdoor area, and all the toys and treats. It was hard for me to leave my puppy but Shanie made it easier and when we need another dog boarder I hope we get Ms. Shanie!!”
“Fantastic boarding experience. The daily pictures and videos put my mind at ease while on my trip. I will definitely be rebooking here for my next trip. 5 stars and highly recommended! Thank you”

“Christina is awesome! Because of my job, sometimes my requests are super last-minute. She’s been awesome with working around my schedule. My pup had a blast at her place and came home exhausted. She will continue to be my go-to sitter!”
“We were very happy with the care Jordan provided for our boy; she updated us on how he was adjusting in their environment; and she even sent pictures of him playing with her children and hanging out with their dog, it was a great experience for our family!”
“If anyone is looking for a Dog sitter I would highly recommend Catherine! She was absolutely amazing with my puppy Roxy. Her communication with me during Roxy’s entire stay was excellent, never once leaving me in the dark about what was going on or what to expect. I will definitely be using her again in the near future!?”
“Angelique was wonderful to our little meatloaf while we were out of the country. She sent us many photos and kept us updated on anything new. We will definitely go with Angelique if we need a dog sitter in the future.”

About: I've grown up living with dogs and have been the primary trainer for my family's dogs. I do pretty well working with new pets and can handle full size dogs. I'm an engineer who gets home from work around 4 or 5PM. My weekends are empty 3/4 weekends a month. I can do overnights on Sunday and during the work week if your dog is used to being alone 9-5. I have a small yard, and live next to the beach. I typically walk my dog to the beach 2-3 times a day on the weekend and she swims often. I usually use a harness to walk dogs, never leave them unattended outside since I have no fence. Make sure they have food twice a day and water always full.
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while you're away. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, and following each dog's normal routine and care instructions. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they're in my care, while also giving you peace of mind knowing they're being well taken care of. As a stay-at-home mom, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm home throughout the day, which gives me plenty of time to provide pets with attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, feeding, and companionship. I have a flexible schedule and can easily adjust to each pet's normal routine and needs. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will have someone around to make them feel comfortable and cared for while they're away from home. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for someone else's pet. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and given plenty of attention while in my care. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, routines, walks, medications, and any special needs. I also understand that every pet has a different personality, so I give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable in a new environment. I want every owner to have peace of mind knowing their pet is safe, happy, and being treated like part of the family.
“Sonya and her family are very sweet, and their 2 dogs are well trained and friendly. Our Sadie fit right into the pack. She was happy when we dropped her off, and happy when we picked her up. I've already booked her next stay! I highly recommend Sonya!”
“Jamie really helped us out by taking in Buddy on short notice allowing us to meet the sweet newest addition to our family. We could tell he had a very good time based on falling asleep immediately on the drive home. She was very good at communication. Highly recommend.”
“Thanks so much, Emily & Ryan! We appreciated all the picture updates, and Calvin obviously had a wonderful time. You guys were always quick to respond, helpful, and flexible. We hope to book again in future.”
