“We are so grateful to have found such an amazing dog sitter! This is the third time Jennifer has taken care of our dog, Coco, and every single experience has been wonderful. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our pup is in such loving, capable hands. She is incredibly attentive, responsible, and truly treats our dog like her own. We always receive updates, pictures, and little check-ins that reassure us everything is going great. Our dog is always happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we return — which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your fur baby, but after three stays, we can confidently say she is dependable, caring, and absolutely fantastic. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again (and will continue to!). Highly, highly recommend! 🐾💕”
“Jess was a phenomenal sitter for our Stella, GSD. She took great care of her with so much love and patience and we couldn’t be more grateful. This definitely won’t be our last time. Highly recommend her! :)”
“Thank you for taking care of our old black lab Athena. Playing in the water is her favorite thing to do so the kiddie pool was a great bonus. We appreciated the pictures and updates letting us know she was okay while we were away with family. Would recommend to anyone.”
“She did an excellent job taking care of my 2 dogs and cat. One is a puppy and he was very happy spending time here. The cat is usually very shy and she was able to get her to open up! Much appreciated care”
“Lydia was great with Bogie. Although he was anxious of being away from home she was patient with him and kept me updated on his stay. Would recommend her and Bogie will be going back next month for another stay.”
“Maria did a fabulous job looking after Thumper for us! 6/5 STARS!!! She was very accommodating when we had to ask her last minute if thumper could stay another night with her. She gave him a bath and sent us photos and videos! I felt relaxed in knowing thumper was in good hands. She was very good at communicating with us on all things! She did an amazing job and we definitely will be booking her again the next time we have to go out of town! She was great, definitely recommend!!!”
About: Caring for pets has been part of my life since childhood. Over the years, neighbors and friends have trusted me with their dogs for walks, feeding, bathing, and playtime. I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need extra patience and care I’m currently serving on active duty, but my schedule allows me consistent time in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends to dedicate to pets. My routine is structured and dependable, so I can provide regular walks, playtime, and care without interruptions. I’m also available for overnight boarding on weekends and flexible check-ins during the week. responsibility and reliability are at the core of everything I do. I have a secure fenced yard and one small friendly dog who love company, which creates a safe and social environment for visiting pets. I follow any special instruction without any problem.
“Just picked my dog up and I truly enjoyed the photos that were sent to me. My little Zoey is fine. I am truly grateful she got to socialize with other dogs and was loved. I would recommend Marquia and her family. Thanks for taking care of my little Zoey.”
“We used Heidi for this first time over the 4th of July and it went amazing! she took care of him like he was her own. Kept him on his schedule and sent constant updates on how he was doing. It allowed us to relax on our family trip knowing our fur family member was being well taken care of. We would absolutely use her again! Thank you Heidi!!”
“Highly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking at entrusting their dogs with a caring, responsible care giver and loving environment. Milo was nothing but happy whenever I picked him up. He had a blast!”
“Amirah and daisy seemed to be very happy and enjoyed their time. Tatiana provided pictures and communicated effectively in order to make us comfortable for letting our puppies stay at a new place. We are very satisfied with her care. Our pups were very excited to be there!”
“This was our second time using Leslie’s in-home boarding service and we are so pleased! She takes such good care of our doggos. She is well-equipped with the essentials for caring for your dog. We love having the peace of mind knowing they are being cared for while we are away!”
“Miranda was an excellent choice to board our dog Freddie. We received daily updates with pictures and videos of him having a blast running around her yard. It was a huge relief during the hectic holiday season. We will absolutely choose Miranda again, thank you !!”
About: Hi, I’m Daphne! As a military wife, I understand that life can bring some unexpected, last minute schedule changes. So if there’s a weekend where you have to be away, I’d be more than happy to help watch over your fur baby! As a fitness instructor who values keeping an active lifestyle, I dedicate my weekends to the dogs by taking them out on neighborhood walks, trails, or play dates to the dog parks — so if you need weekend care, look no further! Both of my dogs, Presley and Winston, play well with other dogs but can still be old souls who lay around and sleep all day too. While my husband is deployed until 2027, I want to continue helping out dogs in our community. A bit about our fam: We have a passion for animal rescue and welfare. We’ve fostered, volunteered, and have been active in our animal shelter. I have background handling both small and big dogs, dogs with high energy, and defeated dogs who have had overall rough lives. If we see any dog in need, no matter if it’s at 11pm, in the rain, or running through the roads, we will without hesitation, stop to help give that dog whatever it is they may need. We have come across many strays and have helped reunite them with their families or have found them forever homes with the help of our local animal shelters. Our dream life is working alongside a local animal rescue back home after military life and continuing to rescue & rehabilitate more dogs in need! If you need those “after hours” drop off/pick up times — don’t hesitate to ask! I am home on weekends all day so I am flexible with your schedule. My camera roll is filled with pics of my own dogs so you can expect constant photos, videos, and updates on your baby throughout their time here! What you can expect: I usually keep dogs in their individual crate overnight as well as separating them at feeding times. This is for their safety as I wouldn’t want anything harmful happening to them overnight when I am not watching! They may behave well in your home but in new environments, I want to take extra precautions. The dogs are not inside for more than 2 hours as I let them outside for potty breaks and outdoor playtime often, with weather conditions kept in mind.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs basicly all my life. I currently have an Australian Shepherd that is five years old. He is good with other dogs. He has separation anxiety, so I know how to take care of that as well. I work full-time at the University. I go on daily walks with my own dogs. I’m pretty free after work. You’re dog will feel at home:) I have a fenced in yard and I live in a house, so I have plenty of space for your pet. I also make sure that they get plenty of exercise.
“Roy was wonderful with my dog. I was initially worried since my dog has epilepsy, but Roy understands the condition and took excellent care of him. The place also has a nice backyard for dogs to run and play. Highly recommended!”

“Eric & June were great with our Jack. He Loved his time there and they provided us with daily updates and pictures which helped ease our mind about leaving him. We will definitely be booking again with them in the future and recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter.”
About: Cats have been a huge part of my life for over 17 years, and I understand how different their care needs can be compared to dogs. I currently have cats of my own, so I know how important it is to leave them with someone who truly understands feline behavior and comfort. I have experience with medicating cats, caring for shy or anxious cats, and supporting pregnant cats and newborn kittens through my experience with cat midwifery. I’m patient, gentle, and always work at the cat’s pace so they feel safe and relaxed. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers quiet companionship, I’m happy to adapt to their personality and routine. My goal is to keep your cat happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Amanda is a blessing to have taking care of our pup! Each day getting pictures was so fun and they became more animated as our silly girl got more visits in with her. She is knowledgeable and super accommodating. Thank you so much!”
“James cat-sat our cat for 2 and a half weeks with drop in visits. We really appreciated the pictures he sent everyday and how well he communicated. We came back to a happy, healthy cat! We'll be using him again in the future.”
“Jessica was amazing! She was very communicative about any issues in the house or with the pets, and even went above and beyond cleaning up messes when they occurred. She was very attentive to the cats personalities and did what made them comfortable. Both my cats can be pretty shy, but they loved her! I would definitely recommend jessica to anyone wanting a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Jessica always goes above and beyond for our cat Murphy. It takes a while for Murphy to warm up to people and is skittish (even with us sometimes). He seems to have accepted Jessica, and I highly recommend her to care for your fur babies.”
“Sarah did a great job! She followed all of our instructions for pet care and did a good job communicating with us and sharing pictures of our pets. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“The best pet sitter your pets could ever hope to have!! Ashton is so kind, responsible, personable, a true animal lover and a vet professional. She took care of our five cats and home while we were away for a week and even managed to quickly problem solve when one of them locked himself in a bathroom - gosh, knows how! It was always clear from pictures how much our crew loved her and followed her everywhere! She's the gold standard!”
“Looove lilly! She came visit us to get to know the cats before we left. This was my first time using rover and also our first time leaving our cats after moving to a new place so I was pretty anxious. But she took such great care of my babies that I didn’t have to worry about them while we were on vacation. She made sure our cats trusted her and was so patient with them. She kept me updated and love all the pictures she sent me. TY LILLY 🤍”

I look forward to discussing your pets care plan with you.
“Aaron was very professional and took care of my kitty beyond my expectations. On top of that, he made sure my house and plants were well. I am very thankful that my kitty had someone safe, reliable, and dependable to take care of him. I am sure that my kitty will miss him. Whenever I have to be apart from my kitty, I will most definitely book with Aaron granted that he’s available.”

We were nervous to leave her with someone for the first time, but with Jennifer, we had absolutely no reason to be!

“I was able to meet Roy before my fur baby's extended stay and do a meet and greet. Roy is very professional and friendly. Even though Cavi is not crate trained and a bit much, Roy was able to put my fears at ease knowing that my fur baby would be taking care of. Definitely recommend Roy.”
“Our little baby doesn’t get to play much with other animals and he had his first experience here and it went amazing. Tatiana was very caring. She provided amazing picture and video.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the kindness and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I truly understand that every dog is unique, whether they’re a bouncy puppy learning the ropes, a senior dog needing gentle care, or a shy pet who just needs a little extra love to feel safe. I approach every pet with compassion, making sure they feel at ease and cherished in my care. From creating a nurturing routine to sending heartfelt updates to owners, I treat every furry friend like they’re part of my own family. Their happiness and comfort are always my top priorities. Lo que me distingue como cuidadora de mascotas es la amabilidad y la paciencia que le brindo a cada mascota que cuido. Entiendo verdaderamente que cada perro es único, ya sea un cachorro saltarín que está aprendiendo a comportarse, un perro mayor que necesita cuidados suaves o una mascota tímida que solo necesita un poco más de amor para sentirse segura. Trato a cada mascota con compasión, asegurándome de que se sienta a gusto y querida bajo mi cuidado. Desde crear una rutina de cuidado hasta enviar actualizaciones sinceras a los dueños, trato a cada amigo peludo como si fuera parte de mi propia familia. Su felicidad y comodidad son siempre mis principales prioridades. 🐶🐱❤️ Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I make sure to set aside dedicated time to care for pets, whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddles. Each day starts with planning to ensure pets have everything they need, from meals and playtime to exercise and companionship. I adapt my schedule to fit the specific needs of each pet, whether that means flexible times for potty breaks, feeding, or quiet time for older dogs. On a weekly basis, I create a routine that maintains a pet’s consistency and comfort while making sure to have time for new activities and learning opportunities for puppies or energetic dogs. Pet care isn’t just a job—it’s a fulfilling part of my day that brings me joy and allows me to build strong bonds with each animal I look after. El cuidado de mascotas es una parte integral de mi rutina diaria y semanal. Me aseguro de reservar un tiempo específico para cuidar de las mascotas, ya sea con paseos matutinos, sesiones de juego al mediodía o abrazos por la noche. Cada día comienza con una planificación para asegurarme de que las mascotas tengan todo lo que necesitan, desde comidas y tiempo de juego hasta ejercicio y compañía. Adapto mi horario para satisfacer las necesidades específicas de cada mascota, ya sea con horarios flexibles para ir al baño, alimentarlas o momentos de tranquilidad para los perros mayores. Cada semana, creo una rutina que mantiene la consistencia y la comodidad de la mascota, al mismo tiempo que me aseguro de tener tiempo para nuevas actividades y oportunidades de aprendizaje para los cachorros o los perros enérgicos. El cuidado de mascotas no es solo un trabajo, es una parte gratificante de mi día que me brinda alegría y me permite construir vínculos fuertes con cada animal que cuido. When caring for pets at a client’s home, I make their safety and comfort my top priorities. I start by getting familiar with their daily routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special needs or preferences. I ensure the home is secure by checking for potential hazards and making sure doors and gates are properly closed. During walks or play sessions, I stay attentive to keep them safe from traffic, other animals, or any unexpected situations. I provide interactive play, walks, and plenty of affection to keep pets engaged and happy. If any special care is needed, like administering medication or following a specific diet, I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions exactly. Building trust with both the pet and their owner is important, so I keep communication open with regular updates and photos. My goal is to create a comforting environment where pets feel at ease and loved, allowing their owners to feel confident and relaxed while they’re away. Cuando cuido mascotas en la casa de un cliente, hago de su seguridad y comodidad mis principales prioridades. Empiezo por familiarizarme con su rutina diaria, incluidos los horarios de alimentación, las pausas para ir al baño y cualquier necesidad o preferencia especial. Me aseguro de que la casa sea segura comprobando si hay peligros potenciales y asegurándome de que las puertas y portones estén bien cerrados. Durante los paseos o las sesiones de juego, me mantengo atenta para mantenerlos a salvo del tráfico, otros animales o cualquier situación inesperada. Ofrezco juegos interactivos, paseos y mucho cariño para mantener a las mascotas ocupadas y felices. Si se necesita algún cuidado especial, como administrar medicamentos o seguir una dieta específica, me aseguro de seguir exactamente las instrucciones del dueño. Generar confianza tanto con la mascota como con su dueño es importante, por lo que mantengo la comunicación abierta con actualizaciones y fotos periódicas. Mi objetivo es crear un entorno reconfortante donde las mascotas se sientan a gusto y amadas, lo que permite que sus dueños se sientan seguros y relajados mientras están fuera.🐾

I have open availability everyday of the week including the weekends. I am flexible on times and can work with whatever best suits you and your pet. I abide by any instructions that I am provided.

About: I have had a love for animals my whole life. Starting in 2008, I got a certificate in Veterinary Assistant and worked in a clinic for about 3 years. Taking a break, I joined the Army, serving 3 years active duty, then dropping down to the Reserves, where I currently continue to serve totaling about 14 1/2 years so far. My husband is active duty Army as well. At our last duty station I started my degree for Veterinary Technician, which I continue to complete and also worked at Banfield for 2 1/2 years. I take my dog on walks almost daily. I currently am a stay at home mom, also an Army Reservist. Lots of time currently. I do plan on looking for a part time job in a veterinary clinic in the fall. I have one dog who is 9 and we have a good size backyard. My dog is currently kennel trained for when we are not home so I’m okay with kenneling your pet if needed.
About: Hi! My name is Isabelle, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with dogs and spent much of my childhood riding horses, so being around animals has always felt like second nature to me. I also have two dogs of my own at home that I absolutely love, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I bring over five years of hands-on veterinary experience, including working in a 24/7 emergency and specialty animal hospital in Boise, ID, where I worked primarily with dogs and cats. I started in the Emergency Room as a Technician Assistant, helping with patient care, administering medications, assisting with radiographs, collecting samples, and ensuring every pet received compassionate, high-quality treatment. I was later promoted to a Veterinary Assistant in the Cardiology department, where I assisted with advanced procedures such as echocardiograms, ECGs, blood pressure monitoring, placing heart monitors, etc. I also educated clients on heart conditions, managed medical records, and ensured accurate care for every patient. In addition to my veterinary background, I have previous pet sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, and even chickens. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medication administration, exercise needs, and providing attentive, reliable care while you’re away. A few months ago, I relocated from Boise, ID, and I’m excited to continue working with pets in this new community! My medical background allows me to confidently care for pets with special needs, administer medications, and recognize when something may be off. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, overnight care, or extra support due to medical needs, you can feel comfortable knowing they’re in experienced and loving hands. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. Since I recently moved to the area and am currently looking for a veterinary position, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for other pets as well. I’m excited to meet new pets, build relationships with their owners, and provide reliable, attentive care. In my home, I care for two dogs of my own, so daily pet care is already a big part of my routine. I make sure they get regular meals, fresh water, daily exercise, and lots of attention throughout the day. I also keep a consistent routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime to help pets feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely so their pet can stay on their normal schedule and be as comfortable as possible. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of affection. I also make sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away by keeping their routine consistent and giving them lots of attention.
About: I've taken care of my own dog for the past 8 years, but before that I was raised around dogs and other animals. My grandparents and uncle always had multiple dogs for hunting, so I am very comfortable around and them and developed a love for dogs at a young age. I have dog sat on various occasions over the past 10 years, and I would love to continue to do it while I’m on the job search. I have a relatively flexible schedule throughout the week since I am pregnant and out of work for the moment, so in most cases would be more than willing to try and work something out. I am currently living in a house with my own dog so I would rather not be doing home services on my end but it is possible for well behaved dogs since my dog is very friendly.
About: You can call me Lilly!! I can provide calm, patient, and specialized care for pets who need more than the basics. when it comes to anxious and sensitive pets, i focus on using a slow, trust-building approach so they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I have an anxious cat myself, so I understand how important it is to move at their pace and build real trust. I also have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs with complex needs, including blindness, deafness, and diabetes, so you can trust that details won’t be overlooked. That said, I absolutely love outgoing, playful pets too. Whether your dog wants long walks and playtime or your cat just wants attention and snuggles, I’m happy to match their energy and make sure they have a great time. Ideal for pets who need extra patience or just a reliable, attentive sitter while you’re away. I have availability through out the week and weekends. I keep my calendar updated and always communicate clearly about availability. Once a booking is confirmed, you can count on me to be reliable and on time. I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest and most comfortable. I follow their routine closely for feeding, walks, and playtime, and make sure they get plenty of attention and care.

About: With a deep passion for animal welfare, I have developed a lifelong affinity for dogs. My household has always included at least one dog, and I have gained extensive experience in caring for them throughout my adult life. My children, now adults, grew up in dog-friendly households and have continued this tradition with their own families. I strongly believe that a home is incomplete without the companionship of a four-legged friend. I am well-versed in handling various breeds and sizes of dogs. Your dog and I will enjoy exploring the neighborhood together, discovering new sights and smells. On occasion, we may visit our local Starbucks for a pup cup treat, with your prior approval. We may also take a stroll through the nearby park, weather permitting. I understand the importance of providing dogs with opportunities to experience new environments and sensations. My ultimate goal is to ensure that your dog remains comfortable and stress-free at all times. Please feel free to contact me to schedule a meet and greet. I am available seven days a week, 24 hours a day, to provide pet care services for your fur babies. On Sundays, I am available anytime after 12:30 p.m., following church services. My residence features a fenced yard, providing a secure environment for my five pets. I diligently supervise them, limiting their time alone to brief intervals. We participate in regular walks, adjusted according to weather conditions. I prioritize their comfort, avoiding walks in extreme temperatures and taking measures to protect them from the elements.
About: I've had animals my whole life growing up. I now have 4 cats, and 2 dogs. I occasionally foster cats when needed. I'm a stay at home mom, so I have all day to love and care for your fur babies. I am pretty much always available when you need me. My schedule is open and ready to assist you. I am more than happy to help! My house offers plenty of areas cats can get to that the dogs and toddler cannot. Thanks to baby gates. However, we have wall furniture in our livingroom and I also have a "catio" attached to the house in the backyard that allows the cats to enjoy a nice breeze and sunshine, while being safe an secure. We have smart litter boxes and plenty of toys as well.
About: Hi! I am a proud military wife, I don't have children but I do have two fur babies. Archie ( a red heeler mix) & Daisy (catahoula / mountain cur mix. I have experience with all stages of life. I am more experienced with dogs but will watch any type of fur baby. I will treat your pet as if it were my own, this means I will treat them with love and affection and make sure they are safe. I know leaving your fur baby with a stranger is hard and I would be able to send you videos and photos of your pet having a good time to ease your mind and let you know they are perfectly safe and waiting for your arrival. Thank you in advance for considering me. I am a self employed photographer and Scentsy consultant. I am very flexible and can accommodate to your schedule as long as it is discussed ahead of time. In your home I will make sure your home is the way it looked before you left or better. I like to make sure your pets are comfortable..

“Jess was a phenomenal sitter for our Stella, GSD. She took great care of her with so much love and patience and we couldn’t be more grateful. This definitely won’t be our last time. Highly recommend her! :)”
“Thank you for taking care of our old black lab Athena. Playing in the water is her favorite thing to do so the kiddie pool was a great bonus. We appreciated the pictures and updates letting us know she was okay while we were away with family. Would recommend to anyone.”
“She did an excellent job taking care of my 2 dogs and cat. One is a puppy and he was very happy spending time here. The cat is usually very shy and she was able to get her to open up! Much appreciated care”
“Maria did a fabulous job looking after Thumper for us! 6/5 STARS!!! She was very accommodating when we had to ask her last minute if thumper could stay another night with her. She gave him a bath and sent us photos and videos! I felt relaxed in knowing thumper was in good hands. She was very good at communicating with us on all things! She did an amazing job and we definitely will be booking her again the next time we have to go out of town! She was great, definitely recommend!!!”
About: Caring for pets has been part of my life since childhood. Over the years, neighbors and friends have trusted me with their dogs for walks, feeding, bathing, and playtime. I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need extra patience and care I’m currently serving on active duty, but my schedule allows me consistent time in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends to dedicate to pets. My routine is structured and dependable, so I can provide regular walks, playtime, and care without interruptions. I’m also available for overnight boarding on weekends and flexible check-ins during the week. responsibility and reliability are at the core of everything I do. I have a secure fenced yard and one small friendly dog who love company, which creates a safe and social environment for visiting pets. I follow any special instruction without any problem.
“We used Heidi for this first time over the 4th of July and it went amazing! she took care of him like he was her own. Kept him on his schedule and sent constant updates on how he was doing. It allowed us to relax on our family trip knowing our fur family member was being well taken care of. We would absolutely use her again! Thank you Heidi!!”
“Highly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking at entrusting their dogs with a caring, responsible care giver and loving environment. Milo was nothing but happy whenever I picked him up. He had a blast!”
“Amirah and daisy seemed to be very happy and enjoyed their time. Tatiana provided pictures and communicated effectively in order to make us comfortable for letting our puppies stay at a new place. We are very satisfied with her care. Our pups were very excited to be there!”
“This was our second time using Leslie’s in-home boarding service and we are so pleased! She takes such good care of our doggos. She is well-equipped with the essentials for caring for your dog. We love having the peace of mind knowing they are being cared for while we are away!”
“Miranda was an excellent choice to board our dog Freddie. We received daily updates with pictures and videos of him having a blast running around her yard. It was a huge relief during the hectic holiday season. We will absolutely choose Miranda again, thank you !!”
About: Hi, I’m Daphne! As a military wife, I understand that life can bring some unexpected, last minute schedule changes. So if there’s a weekend where you have to be away, I’d be more than happy to help watch over your fur baby! As a fitness instructor who values keeping an active lifestyle, I dedicate my weekends to the dogs by taking them out on neighborhood walks, trails, or play dates to the dog parks — so if you need weekend care, look no further! Both of my dogs, Presley and Winston, play well with other dogs but can still be old souls who lay around and sleep all day too. While my husband is deployed until 2027, I want to continue helping out dogs in our community. A bit about our fam: We have a passion for animal rescue and welfare. We’ve fostered, volunteered, and have been active in our animal shelter. I have background handling both small and big dogs, dogs with high energy, and defeated dogs who have had overall rough lives. If we see any dog in need, no matter if it’s at 11pm, in the rain, or running through the roads, we will without hesitation, stop to help give that dog whatever it is they may need. We have come across many strays and have helped reunite them with their families or have found them forever homes with the help of our local animal shelters. Our dream life is working alongside a local animal rescue back home after military life and continuing to rescue & rehabilitate more dogs in need! If you need those “after hours” drop off/pick up times — don’t hesitate to ask! I am home on weekends all day so I am flexible with your schedule. My camera roll is filled with pics of my own dogs so you can expect constant photos, videos, and updates on your baby throughout their time here! What you can expect: I usually keep dogs in their individual crate overnight as well as separating them at feeding times. This is for their safety as I wouldn’t want anything harmful happening to them overnight when I am not watching! They may behave well in your home but in new environments, I want to take extra precautions. The dogs are not inside for more than 2 hours as I let them outside for potty breaks and outdoor playtime often, with weather conditions kept in mind.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs basicly all my life. I currently have an Australian Shepherd that is five years old. He is good with other dogs. He has separation anxiety, so I know how to take care of that as well. I work full-time at the University. I go on daily walks with my own dogs. I’m pretty free after work. You’re dog will feel at home:) I have a fenced in yard and I live in a house, so I have plenty of space for your pet. I also make sure that they get plenty of exercise.
“Roy was wonderful with my dog. I was initially worried since my dog has epilepsy, but Roy understands the condition and took excellent care of him. The place also has a nice backyard for dogs to run and play. Highly recommended!”
“I’m really cautious about who watches my girls, but trust James in a heartbeat! Luna has so many allergies and he followed all of the details that Luna comes with to properly care for her! I never had a doubt about leaving my Luna with James. He also took the girls outside to play from time to time to release some of their pent up energy! When I brought my fur babies home they were exhausted and nap time all around. I always knew what was going on when I was out of town! Thanks James!!”
“Jennifer was amazing! It was my first time ever having my dog stay was someone that wasn’t a family or friend and I was really nervous for my dog Milo. She was very communicative and send me plenty and pics and videos in which my dog was always smiling in. She gave him lots of love and cuddles and made him feel at home which I appreciated sooo much. This made this a great experience for me and Milo and I plan on bringing him back for daycare since he had such a great time. She was very accommodating to his needs as well, I asked her to put ointment on a few patches he had and I could tell she was keeping up with it bc he’s fur looked so good when I picked him up. I can’t say enough about how satisfied I was with her service. Thank you Jennifer!”
“Our dog was very well taken care of at Kelsey’s while we were out of town. She made sure to send pictures and videos and we could tell that our dog was having a great time there! She will be our go-to any time that we need a sitter for our dog. Highly recommend!”
