“I am so glad we found Kelsey and her family! Our dog Buddy stayed for 8 nights and I was afraid our already spoiled pup wouldn’t want to come home :-) Kelsey sent us photos and videos of him having a great time getting lots of attention and love. It’s such a relief to know someone that can watch our baby when we are out of town!!”

“We could not have been more pleased with the care Rue received from Mike and Jenn. She can occasionally be a nervous or aggressive dog, but she seemed to enjoy her stay with them.”


“Had no issues! He took my Cooper last minute, is affordable, and him and his wife took great care of him! He was tired and tuckered out when he got home. Had great communication anytime I messaged.”

“Cassandra was amazing!! Not only was she accommodating for our last minute boarding request but she sent pictures and checked in throughout the week. The dogs were clearly well taken care of and happy. We will absolutely book again in the future!”

“Tobey had a great time with Jennifer! We were able to do a last minute booking with her without any complications and she was eager to help. She also kept me updated and sent me photos while we were gone! Would definitely recommend and will plan to use her in the future!”

“Cal and their dog Rory did such a fantastic job watching Stella for me that I’ve already asked them to keep her again. Stella could not have gotten more love anywhere and she had a great time. Cal sent me pictures and updates multiple times a day and couldn’t have been greater. I wholeheartedly recommend them!”

About: Friends and family have relied on me to check in with, feeding and playing with their pets. And even sometimes have play dates with my dog. I’m currently trying to find things to keep me busy there out the week/weekends so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I’m available during the week and weekends at any time. I have two friendly pets to keep your fur baby company.crate your dog if needed I have a labradoodle. She is two years old and I have a Sphynx cat, which is four years old.
“Amanda's the best, plain and simple. She's extremely well educated and seasoned when it comes to all things dog care and dog training. She made me instantly feel comfortable and easy about leaving my puppy with her over the holiday weekend, and I could relax on my vacation knowing that my dog was in the absolute best, most well equipped hands he could be in. Sweet, smart, and you can tell she loves dogs deeply. Will use her any time the future requires.”

“My dog was left in great hands! Communicating with her was easy and fast! You can tell she cares for pets. My dog came home the same way i left her. She wasn’t scared and still slept through the night fine.”

“Nadia was amazing! Our pet had the best time at her place and she was super accommodating to us. Not only that, but she also made sure to constantly update us on everything that happened and how she was doing throughout the whole stay!”

“We were so happy to find Yana. We needed boarding for 4 days while we were out of town. The boys looked like they felt right at home when we dropped them off. They had the perfect fenced in yard to play in. And from the pictures Yana sent to us it looked like they were family pets. We were very pleased with the care and attention Yana gave our westie boys.”


“Our dogs loved staying with Steve. Steve is very easy to work with and allowed us a vacation free of worry about how the dogs were doing. We will definitely be repeat customers.”

“Lauren took great care of my puppy she was very attentive to everything with her and provided consistent pictures of her throughout her stay. She would update me daily to ensure I knew how my puppy was doing and kept her active which she needs at this stage in her life. I would 100% recommend Lauren to other pet owners and will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Marilyn is wonderful! Loki loved her and we did too! She’s very easy to work with and helpful. Will definitely use her services again & again! Best dog boarding experience Loki’s ever had! 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!”

“Made me feel a lot better leaving my dog by receiving pictures and updates from petra regularly. My dog is elderly but hyper, and I can tell he had a extremely fun weekend because he slept for a few hours when he got home. He is a very happy puppy and I will definitely be back for our next trip! Thank you petra!”

“Maisy was wonderful! From setting up a meet and greet to being so helpful throughout the stay. She sent pictures to keep us updated. The rates were reasonable and worth it. Will definitely book again in the future!”

“Charlotte is the sitter and she is the only Rover sitter I will consider the next time I need her services. I can not recommend any other sitter but her. I appreciate her for being available at such short notice. For my first time using Rover.com I'm very happy.”

“Once again, Anita met all of our expectations on watching our pets. She is punctual and follows the most detailed instructions to keep your pets safe at home. It’s great to have Anita as an alternative when we can’t be here.”


“Kelby did a great job drawing out my reluctant cat who does not except strangers readily. It looked like kitty made up with her. Kelby kept me post about her visit each day. Thanks Kelby.”

“Fantastic sitter! I was nervous to have pet sitter for the first time but she made me feel so much better and my cats seemed to love her! Especially my very shy cat, she was very patient with him and both kitties were well taken care of and happy! Very communicative and nice, would absolutely book again :)”


“Absolutely amazing person! Super friendly, kind, and truly cares for the pets like their own. You can tell they genuinely love what they do. Our pets were so happy and comfortable the entire time. Highly recommended—simply the best!””

“Justine did a great job with my kitties. Even my shy one warmed up to her after a day or so. The pictures she sent were great and my kitties look so happy in them. She was also kind enough to bring my mail in and pre-wash the kitty plates.She even took the litter genie bag out to the trash can when it was full. She was wonderful and I will definitely use her again in the future.”

About: I have years of experience caring for pets of every kind. I've dog sat and cared for cats and dogs many times for friends over the years. I have three cats of my own I care for daily. I feed, brush, play with them, and provide them with veterinary care. I am available for regular check-ins daily, providing walks, playtime, feeding, etc. I am available Sunday, but only after 12pm. I am available early afternoon 11am-4pm and late evening 6-11pm Unfortunately at this time I do not have the space or luxury of providing boarding for pets as I live with other pets and people. I want your pets to feel most comfortable and safe in their own space. I am more than willing to learn all their wants and needs, all the special things they love about their space and home to give them the best and most comfortable care for them.

“Emily was fantastic and I would definitely use her again for both pet and house sitting. She had to deal with a few difficult things that popped up with my cat and handled it like a pro. She’s also a great communicator.”


“Nadia was amazing! I cannot say enough about how helpful she was with my 3 cats. She was extremely caring and friendly, providing me updates and photos while out of town. She made sure they got the love they need. She even brought in a package for me and kept me updated with any concerns.”


“Hi guys. I feel like you all did a great job. You took O' Malley for 10 days and let him do his thing and be comfortable in his own way. Thank you! The only thing I would have liked more of is communication. Both times I had to reach out to you for check ins. Good luck with your pet sitting!!!”
About: Hi, I'm Cassie! I grew up with cats, but became a dog person the day I unexpectedly met my pup Rebel 12 years ago! I wasn't planning on getting a dog that day, but I fell in love the moment I saw him, and the rest is history! Our girl, Kimmy (10), joined us in 2020 when a friend needed to rehome her. She's a social butterfly. They love making new friends, so we'd love to host your little one(s), and welcome them into our home. We have a fully-fenced back yard to run and play in. Dogs are allowed on the furniture here, but I'm happy to follow any rules you may have for your dogs if you prefer they not get on furniture. I currently work full-time outside of the house, but can come home over lunch to offer potty breaks if needed. When dog sitting, I try to limit my nighttime plans, so I'll have lots of time to play with your pup(s) after work! Your dog will be safe at my house. I have a 6ft privacy fence around most of the backyard, and a 4ft picket fence along one edge. I never leave the dogs unattended in the yard. I have a large dog crate if needed.
“CAL WAS A TROOPER. HAD TO DEAL WITH OUR NEW DOG WYLIE COYOTE. AKA MR DESTRUCTO. SURPRISE! I GET A NEW LEATHER COUCH AND LOVESEAT. MR DESTRUCTO MAY GET A NEW HOME! WHO KNEW. THANK YOU FOR WATCHING OUT FOR MY SWEET INNOCENT BABIES!”

“We highly recommend Haleigh. She was just what our little Mischa needed! She took excellent care of him, always on time for his medication and some attention while we were gone. Couldn’t have asked for a better step-in pet parent! Many thanks to you Haleigh!”

“Kylie was so pleasant and sweet!! Our pup enjoyed her visiting him and he lavished all the cuddles and attention from her! I would highly recommend Kylie to anyone needing a pet sitter 🥰❤️.”

“Jenna was awesome with taking care of my newly adopted cat! I came back to my place just as I had left it, with a happy cat that was well taken care of. I would most definitely book her again if I ever need a pet-sitter again, she's great with animals and very responsive any time I would message her.”

“This is the 2nd year I've had my dog cared for by Kelsey & family during an extended visit to Topeka. I couldn't be happier, knowing that she's in such good & loving hands and making new friends when she's there. I'm so grateful and we look forward to continued bookings whenever we're in the area!”

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have been caring for pets since childhood. I grew up with both cats and dogs, including a Maltese, and currently share my home with an Australian Shepherd–Brittany Spaniel mix and my cat Josie. I have rescued two former outdoor/stray cats who I named Mabel and Astrid. One lives with my Grandpa while the other was given to my cousin! My favorite side-quests are animal rescuing! 😄 Alongside this, I’ve raised puppies and kittens of all ages, cared for senior pets, given medication, and even rescued a squirrel once (my ultimate side quest!). As said, I’ve occasionally helped strays by feeding and socializing them over the years, which has taught me patience, gentleness, and how to read animal body language. Professionally, I work in the behavioral health field, with over five years in Applied Behavioral Analysis as a behavior tech and a year as a mental health therapist student. I naturally apply those skills when working with animals by reading into the “unsaid.” Whether that is helping an anxious dog feel safe, reinforcing positive behaviors, or calmly navigating new environments, I am ready! I understand that pets are family. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication so you can feel fully at ease while your pet is in my care. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, cuddles, or space, I’m attentive to their individual personality and needs, and I genuinely love making sure every furry friend feels happy and understood. I am available to provide pet care services anytime between May 12 and July 12, 2026. During this period, I can accommodate flexible schedules and multiple visits per week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I prioritize consistency and routine for pets, ensuring they receive regular feeding, exercise, and attention. After July 13, 2026, I will be working full-time and will only be able to accept a limited number of clients for very minimal days, so I plan to carefully manage my schedule to maintain high-quality care and attention for each pet. I prioritize safety, trust, and a positive environment for every pet in my care. I ensure secure spaces, supervise playtime, and maintain a calm and structured routine. I tailor care to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether that means cuddles, exercise, or quiet time. I am attentive to subtle behavioral cues and changes, thanks to my background in behavioral health, and I always communicate clearly with pet owners to ensure they feel confident and comfortable with my care.

“I had to leave my 1 yr old Pup “Maggie” for 9 days over the holiday… HATED leaving her, but Brandin seemed to take great care of her while I was away. I received pictures everyday. I left him with tips on Maggie’s personality and things she did and liked. He took notes and applied them. When me and Maggie were driving away she was looking back as to say where are my people. Looking for them intensely. I felt she liked them and I would absolutely have them look after Maggie again. Thank you Brandin”

About: I received a certification in the Fundamentals of Clicker training and positive reinforcement in a Karen Pryor Academy class. I have experience training puppies to behave correctly with humans and dogs. From the age of 8 to adulthood, I ran my own house sitting business in cities in eastern Kansas, including Lawrence, and Overland Park, KS. I have worked in Veterinary Clinics, Humane Societies and dog boarding facilities. Through experience and classes I know how to interact with our beloved furry friends. I know how dogs communicate, dog breed characteristics, breed groups, developmental stages, play styles, and how to meet their needs. I am determined to help strengthen the bond between you and your dog. I practice a routine when I take care of the dogs in my care. They spend 1/4 time exercising, another 1/4 time playing either with their canine buddies and or with me, 1/4 the time training or learning a new trick, mentally stimulate them, and finally the last 1/4 of time resting. As you know, all dogs crave structure and routine. When they know what to expect, then they know how to behave. My knowledge of dog safety and how to treat all dogs with individual needs will ensure you peace of mind. I have worked with many dog breeds, all sizes, and all ages. I do not have any breed preferences. I currently own three dogs: Skye is a lab mix, a senior ( 8 years old), Westly, a corgi, is a senior ( 11 years old), and Ginny is a lab mix, just a wee puppy (8 months old) Developing meaningful relationships with canines is my passion. I always treat my clients' dogs like they were my own. I’m currently working @ TLC Pet Nursing Hotel Monday-Friday but my hours vary. It just depends on the day. Please send me a message to check my availability in more detail! I have a fenced in yard and always go out with my dogs so I can make sure they are safely inside the yard and also to make sure they have healthy bowl movements. I have been told that I’m very trustworthy. I use my experience and knowledge to help each canine in my care. If there’s something “wrong” or different about a dogs behavior I will check in with you their human parents. It is very important to me that one, you are happy with the service I provide and two, that you feel comfortable with me taking care of your fur children! Please let me know how I can best serve you!
About: Hello!! My name is Maisy. I have worked in various different animal related jobs for the last 5 years, I worked at a doggie daycare/boarding facility and I currently am a dog trainer. I have experience with both puppies and elderly dog as well as cats, reptiles, birds, and farm animals. I also am open to limited contact boarding for people reacting dogs and can do crate rotation for dog reactive dogs away from mine. I work in the evenings 4 days a week so I spend the mornings/afternoons out playing with the pups then they take naps in kennels while I’m at work and we play some more when I get home. I also can move my dogs kennels out of the “dog room” and your dog can just stay in there instead of a kennel if they are more comfortable that way. I have 5 dogs that are very active and friendly. I have a fenced in yard the dogs love to run around in and inside we have lots of toys and comfy places to take naps (which will be put up if there are problems). If I’m not at home or at night all dogs will be kenneled for safety.
About: I've been working in the dog care industry for at least 10 years! Certified through Animal Behavior College,(abcdt) 2014 and the Council of professional dog trainers (ccpdt) since 2017. I can train your dog or just snuggle them and play with them! I am working towards going full time care taker so that I can build my clientele. As of now I work full time at a doggie day care as their manager and dog trainer and will be decreasing my hours as my clients increase! I can travel to your home or bring your best friend to mine! I have a very large fenced in back yard, and a very friendly dog. A few kennels for rest time as well.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs back home my personal favorite were my wiener dogs. I’ll treat them just like my niece or nephew. I’ve been a house sitter looking after dogs for some of my colleagues and family.I also got a two puppers of my own Just leave the dogs schedule and requirements and I’ll do exactly that. I also have a background in medical training as a hospital corpsman in case of any emergencies. I’m a Veteran going to college so My schedule is pretty flexible these days. I have a pretty good routine with my dogs so extra dogs are no problem. My dogs already have a set schedule, they love to play in the backyard, and love walks and pup cones! My house has plenty of rooms and easy access through the doggy door to the back yard. And a lot of room around the house. It’s a pet loving home, some could say the run the house ❣️
About: I have been a professional trainer, handler and groomer for over a decade, providing excellent care for dogs, cats and other pets of all ages, sizes and care needs. I am also available for livestock care, with over two decades of experience with horses, cattle and most other hoofstock and flocks. I offer these services full time, so no need to worry about another job conflicting with your pet’s needs while in my care. I am able to devote my schedule to them. For my in home services, I have a yard that is set up with individual fenced areas, as well as having 4.5 acres that will soon be fully fenced in! For those bigger dogs who want to be able to run and stretch their legs more.I have two of my own dogs as well, as company for those who would enjoy a playmate. We do crate all guests for bedtime and meals. This ensures everyone can eat at their own pace, and in a safe environment. Same for bedtime. While we understand that your pet may sleep loose at home, we typically have guests from multiple households. Safety is our #1 priority and we don’t want to risk an issue overnight.
About: Located on 10 acres in rural Hoyt, Kansas, Hughes & Hounds provides a spacious safe haven for your furry family members. Our set-up, previously used for dog breeding, includes two (working on three) spacious backyard pens that are the full package deal, including: big shade trees, big water bowls, a doggie igloo and free doggie treats (if you approve of course!). Please note that our dog daycare and boarding services are OUTDOOR ONLY and really for farm/outside dogs, bigger dogs, or dogs with high energy. We will accept any sized dog as long as they’re used to staying outside during the day! With two young kids in the home, we will only bring your dogs inside if the owner provides a crate and only if requested for night time (with the exception of severe weather where they would be crated indoors as well). I work a few afternoons a week, so I will be able to check on your furry pals often during their week & weekend stays with us. We are flexible and want to make sure your wishes are heard. So if you want us to play with your dogs, send you pictures, give treats - we are here for it. But if your dog prefers to not be bothered too much and is good with the essentials - we are here for that too. You tell us how we can provide the most comfortable atmosphere for your dogs. As far as experience goes, I've been a dog sitter on and off from elementary school through college and have volunteered lots of hours to our local shelter.... I love dogs and they're in good hands! :) This is a NEW and fun business adventure for our small family and we do not take it lightly! Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions-we will respond promptly. I only work a few afternoons a week, and my husband gets home before me during those days, so there’s only about 3-4 hour stretches of time we would be gone during the week. Due to this, we feel confident that we can take good care of your dog(s) while they stay here. Since we have the space we thought "why not?" when it came to the idea of dog boarding. We were not using our back 3 pens, other than allowing our dogs to roam them. There were some escape artists when the pens were originally used for breeding, so safety features include covered corners so dogs are unable to climb up and out using the corner fencing. Cement was also laid around the boundaries of the pens so digging cannot occur. If your dog likes to jump fences that would be a concern and a reason why we may not be a good fit for you. Of course, plenty of cold, fresh water will always be available to your dog(s) during their stay.
About: I am married and have two daughters and a son. They are 12, 8, and 5. I have a wonderful German Shepherd, an Alaskan Klee Kai, and a 20 pound cat named Karen. We love caring for other animals. We have a big yard so there’s plenty of room to run.! I can come to your home or board in ours. We are very active individuals. Both my husband and I are runners. Just let me know if you have anymore questions and I would be more than willing to answer them! We are very flexible with our schedules. My husband works full-time, but I drive for Uber so I can make my own schedule when needed. We try to stay as active as possible and play with pets in the home. We have a German shepherd that loves the extra play time!
“Lauren really loves animals and it shows. I’ve never met anyone so kind and caring with their pets. This is the best pet sitting experience I’ve ever had by far and my dog seemed really happy. I’ll be using Lauren exclusively from now on. Thank you so much Lauren 🩷”

About: I grew up on the family farm surrounded by dogs and cats and all kinds of animals - caring for them was part of my life. That lifelong connection led me to volunteer at a local dog and cat shelter where I've gained even more experience with pets of all temperaments and needs. I treat every animal like a family and I willl give your pet loving care whether it's for a quick walk or an overnight stay. I have a very flexible schedule so I can fully prioritize pet care. My days naturally revolve around the animals I am caring for and I enjoy creating routine that suits their needs. My home, farm in the woods, is a dog paradise where they can relax, go for walks or play. In client's home, I'm respectful of their space and routines, I communicate with the owner, send updates and make sure the pet has all my attention.
About: I have had dogs in my home for almost my whole life. I have a pug, golden retriever, and a mutt that are all a couple years apart in age. For two years, I volunteered at a humane society where I walked and cared for dogs of all kinds. Senior, puppy, sick, I have a lot of experience and I would love to get more! I’m currently working at a golf course near Forest Lake. My schedule for work comes out weekly, so I’m unaware what my weeks look like well in advance. I don’t like to do this, but if your pups are able to be home for about 6-8, then this would be a great fit! Obviously I wouldn’t work every day of the week, so I will be available to give them my full attention. Your pups are my priority and I wouldn’t want them to feel uncomfortable with my wack work schedule in any way. My shifts will either be 6-2 or 2-9, or shorter. I prioritize respect for your space and routines. Whether your pet prefers potty breaks in a fenced yard or leashed walks, I’ll follow your preferences to keep them comfortable and safe.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, took care of them and have a great passion for animals. I’ve had my own pets since 2007 (2 cats and a dog). Since 2020 I have fostered animals for a local shelter including dogs, puppies as young as 6 months, and kittens as young as 5 weeks. I have basic experience in dog training. I’m currently working on a part-time contract basis so my schedule is very flexible and I would love to help you care for your pet(s). I am available daily with a set schedule to accommodate your needs. I am an experienced foster of dogs and kittens. I have a dedicated space (spare bedroom) to keep any animals separate from mine, but if they are dog and cat friendly they could be free roaming in the house when I am home. I have a cable for supervised potty time in the yard. I am experienced with crate training. I am clean and professional, respecting your space and routines in your home.
“Regan was amazing with my puppy. She sent me multiple updates throughout the days, fed my dog, took her potty, played, etc.. while I was at work. I plan on using her again :)”

About: I have worked with and had animals my entire life. From reptiles to cats and dogs I have worked with many different kinds of animals old and young. I adore training puppies and have had a lot of experience with senior dogs, dogs with incontinence, and other health issues. Your pets safety and well being is of upmost importance to me. My current work schedule is 6am-2pm Mon-Fri with a short break around 9am where I have time to run home and let my dog out. Your pets safety and well being is my main priority. I try to stick to a strict schedule of feeding times and walkies. I have a spacious home with a fenced in back yard. I have a kennel that can be put up for any pups that require a kennel as well as a spare room that can be a safe space for any animal that doesn’t care to socialize with the rest of my animals.

About: I love all pets, but I have a particular affinity for special needs pets. When my own pup was diagnosed with Degenerative Myelopathy, I dedicated myself to giving him the best care, and ultimately, the best life possible. Pets are beloved members of the family and I promise to love and care for your pets as if they are my own. I welcome all shapes, sizes, and abilities. I provide boarding and house sitting services. Whichever you choose, please know that your pet will be given the best care and so much love! I find that pets are generally more comfortable in their own space. I am happy to visit yours! My schedule is quite flexible and I am open to long-term set schedules or the occasional drop-in. I try my best to keep my calendar updated. I currently do not offer boarding services, however, you can be sure that both your home and your beloved pet will be safe with me.
About: I have taken care of pets since I can remember and love getting to know new animals personalities and playing with them. I have plenty of time to devote to your fur babies.

I have a fenced yard and an unbusy street to allow your sweet baby all sorts of walks and playtime outside. I have plenty of experience with administering dogs medicine and crating them, if needed.

About: As a school teacher off for the summer, I would love to help other pet parents have a wonderful, worry-free summer experience knowing their family members are in great hands! I’ve been a passionate pet owner my entire life and currently have two sweet little Chihuahuas of my own, so I know exactly how much love, patience, and attention our 4-legged companions need. I truly love all animals, treat every guest pup like a member of my own family, and can't wait to meet my new summer fur babies! As a school teacher, I am completely off for the summer and have an open, flexible schedule! This means I am available to provide your pup with companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. Whether your dog needs a dedicated walking routine or daytime attention, my schedule revolves entirely around making sure they have a fun, safe, and active summer vacation of their own. When caring for your fur baby in your home, safety and respect for your space are my top priorities. As a dependable lifelong pet owner and school teacher, you can trust that I will strictly follow your established routines, keep a close eye on your dog, and ensure all doors and gates are fully secure during my visits. I provide reliable, loving care—from structured feeding and fresh water setups to safe, supervised playtime—giving you total peace of mind while you're away. I treat your home with the utmost respect and your pet like a member of my own family.
“Elizabeth has been really great! She is incredibly punctual, professional, and efficient with prompt communication. She has gone above and beyond for our dog, and I would recommend everyone to use her!”

About: I have had my own personal dogs for a little over a year. But I have been pet sitting for longer than that. I am able to work on training that has been set in place and I am able to help care for senior dogs. I have had cats my entire life so I am capable of cleaning out litter boxes and playing with the cats with toys. I am currently working part time as a kitchen assistant so I am only available at certain times during the week. Also there are some days where I will have to work full time and sometimes my schedule changes the day of. I would try to keep any previous schedule that had been set for the client’s pets. I would walk and play with them as necessary. It would be my goal to make this easy on both the owners and the pets.
“I was stressing over getting home in time to take my baby girl out. This app was a life saver! Mike and Jennifer were so great and responded to my last-minute request. Will book again!”

“Kat did a great job walking my dog. She was kind and offered tips on how to improve my dogs negative behaviors. She took pictures to let me know how my dog was doing on his walks and was nice to work with. I highly recommend Kat.”

As said, I’ve occasionally helped strays by feeding and socializing them over the years, which has taught me patience, gentleness, and how to read animal body language. Professionally, I work in the behavioral health field, with over five years in Applied Behavioral Analysis as a behavior tech and a year as a mental health therapist student. I naturally apply those skills when working with animals by reading into the “unsaid.” Whether that is helping an anxious dog feel safe, reinforcing positive behaviors, or calmly navigating new environments, I am ready! I understand that pets are family. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication so you can feel fully at ease while your pet is in my care. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, cuddles, or space, I’m attentive to their individual personality and needs, and I genuinely love making sure every furry friend feels happy and understood. I am available to provide pet care services anytime between May 12 and July 12, 2026. During this period, I can accommodate flexible schedules and multiple visits per week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I prioritize consistency and routine for pets, ensuring they receive regular feeding, exercise, and attention. After July 13, 2026, I will be working full-time and will only be able to accept a limited number of clients for very minimal days, so I plan to carefully manage my schedule to maintain high-quality care and attention for each pet. I prioritize safety, trust, and a positive environment for every pet in my care. I ensure secure spaces, supervise playtime, and maintain a calm and structured routine. I tailor care to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether that means cuddles, exercise, or quiet time. I am attentive to subtle behavioral cues and changes, thanks to my background in behavioral health, and I always communicate clearly with pet owners to ensure they feel confident and comfortable with my care.

“I am so glad we found Kelsey and her family! Our dog Buddy stayed for 8 nights and I was afraid our already spoiled pup wouldn’t want to come home :-) Kelsey sent us photos and videos of him having a great time getting lots of attention and love. It’s such a relief to know someone that can watch our baby when we are out of town!!”


“Had no issues! He took my Cooper last minute, is affordable, and him and his wife took great care of him! He was tired and tuckered out when he got home. Had great communication anytime I messaged.”

“Tobey had a great time with Jennifer! We were able to do a last minute booking with her without any complications and she was eager to help. She also kept me updated and sent me photos while we were gone! Would definitely recommend and will plan to use her in the future!”

About: Friends and family have relied on me to check in with, feeding and playing with their pets. And even sometimes have play dates with my dog. I’m currently trying to find things to keep me busy there out the week/weekends so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I’m available during the week and weekends at any time. I have two friendly pets to keep your fur baby company.crate your dog if needed I have a labradoodle. She is two years old and I have a Sphynx cat, which is four years old.
“Amanda's the best, plain and simple. She's extremely well educated and seasoned when it comes to all things dog care and dog training. She made me instantly feel comfortable and easy about leaving my puppy with her over the holiday weekend, and I could relax on my vacation knowing that my dog was in the absolute best, most well equipped hands he could be in. Sweet, smart, and you can tell she loves dogs deeply. Will use her any time the future requires.”

“My dog was left in great hands! Communicating with her was easy and fast! You can tell she cares for pets. My dog came home the same way i left her. She wasn’t scared and still slept through the night fine.”

“Nadia was amazing! Our pet had the best time at her place and she was super accommodating to us. Not only that, but she also made sure to constantly update us on everything that happened and how she was doing throughout the whole stay!”

“We were so happy to find Yana. We needed boarding for 4 days while we were out of town. The boys looked like they felt right at home when we dropped them off. They had the perfect fenced in yard to play in. And from the pictures Yana sent to us it looked like they were family pets. We were very pleased with the care and attention Yana gave our westie boys.”


“Our dogs loved staying with Steve. Steve is very easy to work with and allowed us a vacation free of worry about how the dogs were doing. We will definitely be repeat customers.”

“Lauren took great care of my puppy she was very attentive to everything with her and provided consistent pictures of her throughout her stay. She would update me daily to ensure I knew how my puppy was doing and kept her active which she needs at this stage in her life. I would 100% recommend Lauren to other pet owners and will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Marilyn is wonderful! Loki loved her and we did too! She’s very easy to work with and helpful. Will definitely use her services again & again! Best dog boarding experience Loki’s ever had! 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!”

“Made me feel a lot better leaving my dog by receiving pictures and updates from petra regularly. My dog is elderly but hyper, and I can tell he had a extremely fun weekend because he slept for a few hours when he got home. He is a very happy puppy and I will definitely be back for our next trip! Thank you petra!”

“Maisy was wonderful! From setting up a meet and greet to being so helpful throughout the stay. She sent pictures to keep us updated. The rates were reasonable and worth it. Will definitely book again in the future!”

“Wonderful! Our dog Eevee enjoyed her stay and felt right at home. The owners of Hugh’s and Hounds were so friendly and did everything to make her stay great! Good communication, went above and beyond! Highly recommend and will use them again if we need to board.”

“Cheryl was absolutely amazing! From the moment we dropped our dog off, she made us feel completely comfortable and confident that our dog was in great hands. She sent us daily updates and adorable pictures, which really put our minds at ease and made us feel connected the whole time we were away. Our dog absolutely loved her and her home, we started calling it “dog vacation” because he was having such a great time! Cheryl went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, and loved like one of her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will 100% be booking with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and truly passionate about dogs!”

“Felicity was great! This was our first time leaving our dogs with someone who wasn't family, so I was very nervous! Felicity did a wonderful job not only taking great care of our boys, but also sending pictures and updates so that my worries were put at ease throughout the time we were gone. She also made drop off/pick up very easy. I tried my best to give her an accurate window of when I'd be there, and she was ready and waiting both times. My dogs came home with what looked like smiles on their faces and exhausted from getting to play with her two dogs the entire weekend! 🥰💖 Thank you Felicity!”

“Chelsea and her family were wonderful with our dogs. We would definitely use them again. They sent us updates and pictures on our pets which were very comforting. Would recommend them to anyone”

“Amelia and Matthew are very nice and patient with Mica during daycare and boarding and even gave him a bath! I received frequent update pics and videos of Mica. He obviously had such a fun vacation at Amelia’s home and made furriends too! Thank you for taking care of Mica, will bring him back again for sure!! Highly recommend ♥️♥️”
