“Regan was absolutely amazing with Archer. He is a senior Dachshund and can be a little unsure in new places, but she went above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable and cared for during his very first overnight stay. She was patient, gentile and very attentive to his needs. It’s such a relief to find someone who understands and loves older pups. I’m grateful for the peace of mind she gave me and all the pictures she sent during his stay.”
“Anna was the perfect person to care for our girls. Puppies are hard. Two puppies are even harder but she Rocked it. I wrote instructions for her and she followed them to the ‘T’ even using our ‘command words’. She even set in the floor cuddling them during a storm to calm her fears I will definitely use her again.”
“Just the best! Kirsten is so great with taking care of my dog and keeping me up to date on everything. I swear my dog didn't even want to come home with me he was so happy there!”
“Once again, Tanks was so well cared for. He feels so at home at their home that I feel at ease when he visits there. Tank is loved there and the photos they text me show it! Thanks again!”
“Tyler was amazing! We felt great knowing our pup was in great hands and had as much of a vacation as we did! Would absolutely book with him again in a heartbeat.”
“Courtney took great care of my pup for 5 days. She gave her walks and sent me lots of pictures throughout Layla’s stay. My pup came home in great spirits. I will be using Courtney again.”
“She was great with Penny! Friendly and understanding, she took care of Penny as if it was her own pup! She checked in with me and sent pictures of Penny. It was such a relief to have Penny in a calm place while I was on vacation I will absolutely use her again!”
“Marisa was great! She was extremely accommodating, always trying to help make things easier for us for drop off and pick up. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and my pup definitely had fun because he has been sleeping all day. A sure sign of a good time for a one year old lab! =) it was awesome to know that he was having fun while we were away.”
“We were so happy to find Holly to watch our very active Doberman. Gemma is still young and learning so we needed someone familiar with her breed and energy level. Being that Holly runs a rescue we knew Gemma was in good hands and with someone who truly loves all animals. She’s got lots of room for the dogs to play and can accommodate dogs that play well together or dogs that need more one on one play. She kept us updated with pics and video & my girl was super happy!”
About: I’ve been very hands on with dogs for years, including raising and caring for my own pitbull, so I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes especially larger, high energy dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading a dog’s personality and body language. I can also help reinforce basic habits like potty routines, leash manners, and calm behavior for younger dogs. I treat pets like they’re my own and focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for instead of just “watching” them. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and adjust to what they need, whether that’s extra playtime, reassurance, structure, or space. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m consistent with routines and make sure pets are supervised and comfortable. I provide a calm, safe, and stress-free environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and always supervise pets during walks, playtime, and interactions with other dogs. I also have a smart camera in my home so I can keep an eye on pets if I step out briefly. For added safety and comfort, pets can be kenneled if needed or preferred by the owner.

As well as managed the boarding and grooming stations for almost 2 years. My background is in Biology I got my B.S in 2015 and my Bachelors in Nursing in 2019. I have a large fenced in back yard with a little pool for the dogs. Boarding will be inside. I have an in-home camera system and 4 separate boarding rooms. If you prefer, I can come to you! I have excellent references and can even provide leash training for those excited pups. I volunteer with the SPCA, NOLA and Jefferson Parish. I cant wait to meet your pup or cats, lets not forget the kitties!! Talk soon! I’m currently working from home so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. We’re going to have a great time and will be able to meet any special needs your pet may require to feel comfortable and taken care of while you’re away.

“When I came back from TDY, my dogs had a fresh bath, they appeared happy and healthy. I enjoyed the daily update on how much they ate, toileting, walks, and pictures. I highly recommend her services.”
About: I have been around animals my entire life and have now centered my life around animal care! I currently am going to school for my RVT and am also working in the clinic at our Parish animal shelter. Because of this, I am well versed in most domesticated animal care, am comfortable with special needs/ill pets, and never mind a challenge! I Young-old, excited-skittish, wet-dry, all need care, and I'm excited to help you! No task is too messy or difficult, no guideline is too silly! My husband is very familiar with pet care as well, and he supplements where i cannot be! I am currently working full time from 8-4:30. I am able to handle early morning and evening obligations. Depending on your location, I am also able to do lunch time drop ins! Most of my weekends are open, though I am unavailable about 1 weekend out of the month for work, these weekends follow my weekday availability. My husband supplements any working weekends, and most times in which i am not home! Every animal is different, every animal has their quirks and personality! I am easily adaptable to your pets needs in home and outside. My goal is to make visits and transitions as seamless as possible for your pets; what works for you is what's best for me! We love to board, WE BOARD MULTIPLE ANIMALS AT A TIME! Sometimes there will be overlap from different households.

Your pets will be housed in our refinished shed a few steps away from our side door. The area is climate controlled, has electric, and is monitored via camera 24/7. If your pets are pet friendly, they are likely to be inside the home with us unless we are not home! You can see a snippet of the view in my photos, please let me know if you have questions!
“Brittany was wonderful with my dog! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt confident she was in great hands. Brittany kept in touch with updates and photos, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious she received lots of love and attention during her stay. Brittany was kind, reliable, and treated my dog like family. I’d happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“My 2 poodles had a stay for the weekend, I was nervous since this was their first stay but Rachel assured me everything will be fine and it definitely was! One of my dogs got a small injury when dropping off and she was quick to jump into action and take care of it!! She kept me updated with daily pictures throughout their stay. My babies have a new best friend with Raven and can’t wait to go back!! I highly recommend her and her services & will be using her for future stays!!”
“This is the second time Bobbi has watched our pup, Riley. Both times, Bobbi had great communication and I knew Riley was well taken care of and was having a great time.”
“We booked with Lindsey last minute after an unexpected change of plans. Lindsey was so accommodating, she adjusted her schedule to meet our needs! Lindsey treated our lil guy like a Prince. She was very attentive to his needs and habits. Lindsey kept us updated with pics and texts and a doggy report card :). Overall great experience! Lindsey is AWESOME! A true lover of fur babies, for sure! Thanks for being so sweet! We will definitely call on Lindsey for future needs!”

“Tegan is amazing! I was gone for 11 days on and off due to work this month and Tegan was able to cover all the days! I know this made my cat feel much more comfortable seeing a consistent person to check in and play with her. I don’t even know if my Pepper even noticed I was gone since she was having too much fun playing with Tegan :)”
About: I've grown up with many types of pets throughout my entire life. I love animals and have been a volunteer at Northshore Humane Society since 2020, where I have experience walking, playing with, cleaning after, and even assisting in veterinary care with dogs. I especially love teaching new tricks and playing with them. I also have experience with reptiles and cats. I currently have a 9-year-old border collie and take him on walks and play with him for hours every day. He's a very active dog and I enjoy being active with him, as well as grooming him and interacting with him through any and all means. I love all dogs, but my favorite breed is the doberman! I also have a black cat named Breezepelt (named after my favorite book character), and a mexican black kingsnake named Asclepius! How I care for your pet depends on the specific needs and wants of the pet and what you as the owner would like. If I am house sitting, I am willing to play with, take outside, and walk with your pet as much as is desired. I have both leads and retractable leashes if you would like me to use my own. I am comfortable with crating if so desired. I will be keeping a constant eye on your pet and will ensure their safety to the upmost degree.

“Alyssa is a pet-sitting Superhero! She not only took wonderful care of our kitty while we were out of town, but also went above & beyond to run a personal errand for us that absolutely saved our trip from disaster. Alyssa is caring, communicative, respectful, and thorough, and we will certainly be hiring her the next time we need a sitter!”
“Gabrielle was such a joy to work with. Very communicative and always pleasant. She was reliable, and even brought in our mail! We have 2 kittens less than a year old. They were abandoned as kittens and not very trustful, but they warmed up to her very quickly! Everything went very smoothly, and we are rebooking her again!”
“Caroline was excellent; very dependable! She dropped in on my 2 cats every day for 5 days and it was clear that they loved her. She took many photos of each visit along with a brief status update, which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely book her again in the future! Thanks, Caroline!”

About: I have had almost a decade of experience with animals that have severe anxiety. I know how to approach any animal. Animals sense energy and I feel that I am able to provide great energy throughout them being in my care. I currently work “full time,” but I do have an off day and time off throughout the day to walk those fur babies or spend time! I can do in home visits if you let me know in advance and I am able to walk any time of night…days vary, but I can work around anything 24/7. I have before.

I have cared for senior pets as well as young pets. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I currently work part-time as a server in Mandeville. The shifts are 4-6 hours long. I do not work doubles when I am scheduled for pet-sitting, so no need to worry about me being gone for anything more than 4-6 hours at a time. I have two bunnies of my own, so I just need to check on them every other day for overnight stays. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. When I do overnight stays, I will leave your house cleaned and taken care of as I do my own.
About: Ever since I was Itty bitty I have always adored animals. I was the kid bringing home strays every chance I got to make sure they found a loving home. In high-school I interned at a vet. This gave me knowledge and experience walking, feeding, administering medication, and understanding the behaviors of the animals around me. I am now an Army veteran and will be a full time student come the fall semester. This gives me plenty of time and flexibility to give your precious babies the highest quality care so you can feel confident and secure that all of their needs are being met while youre away. I have 1 dog and 5 cats of my own all with their own quirks, personalities, and detailed instructions I give to my own sitters when needed. Rest assured that there is not much your pets could need that I am not up for! I am moving from out of state and starting school in the fall, so during the summer I will have complete availability while settling into our new home! Due to having so many cats, I will not be offering boarding/sitting in my own home. However for house sitting, walking, and drop ins I am happy to follow any and all detailed instructions and will send plenty of photos for your peace of mind!

“I was nervous to leave my quirky dogs with a stranger, but Tyler quickly put my pets and me at ease. He took the dogs on a walk early on, to make them feel at home. He has a large, secure backyard, that the dogs loved. He let the pets be part of his day and provided good feedback about the pups. Thanks Tyler!”

About: Patience and empathy are a major part of my approach to animals in general. I have realized that these beautiful creatures respond well to me because my love does not come with any strings. I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Kameha and a cat named Sushi. They are my world. Sushi's mother was a stray cat and not in good shape. I helped her heal and she ended having Sushi and several other kittens. Kameha was rescued from a bad home and she had worms as a puppy. Now she is full of life. My values include but are not limited to: safety, integrity, responsibility, respect, and dependability. I am entrepreneur and full time father and I am looking for supplemental income. Thank you for your time and consideration.
About: I’ve been a dog and cat lover for as long as I can remember and understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. My goal is to make your furry family member feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I live on a spacious half-acre lot in a quiet neighborhood, giving dogs plenty of room to run, explore, and play. My home features a large doggy door, so your pup can easily go outside whenever they want. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, belly rubs, or simply lounging around, they’ll receive plenty of attention and care throughout their stay. I share my home with Jake, my friendly yellow Labrador Retriever. He’s very laid-back, loves other animals, and is happy to welcome new friends. To provide a calm, personalized experience, I only accept one client family at a time. This means your pet won’t have to adjust to a house full of unfamiliar dogs and will receive my full attention. For everyone’s safety, I have young children in the home and can only accept dogs that are friendly and non-aggressive around people and other animals (no pitbulls or pitbull mixes). I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am home most of the week. I also have two kids that are animal lovers. I’m able to adjust to whatever routine your pet is used to. My kids have learned to respect animals’ boundaries. Your pet will be enjoying the comforts of being inside or outside of the house and get lots of attention.

“It was our first time using Rover and Nicole put me at ease throughout our communications and sent some lovely images throughout the day. Kenny was exhausted when we got him home, which is always a good sign - very happy with our first experience with Rover!”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals. I’ve cared for my families dogs as a child, and my own dogs when I got older with the addition of my daughters dog. I’ve always had a mutual connection with them and cared for them like my own children. I’m all about enriching the lives of pets and their families by providing excellent pet care, peace of mind, trust and security. Nurturing the inseparable bond between a person and their 'furbaby' by enriching their relationship with love. I have a pretty open availability schedule and will try to accommodate your requests to the best of my ability depending on timing and distance. I currently do not have any dogs at my house, so they can enjoy all my attention and playtime. I also have a nice backyard that they can play and run around in. When doing a dog service at the pets home I like to get familiar with them so they can feel comfortable and be their usual sweet selves!

I am currently home all day. When I start work again in August, my hours will be 8-2:30pm. I live in a quiet suburb in Mandeville near Whole Foods with a gated backyard and spacious indoor area. There is lots of space for dogs to play in the backyard and I also have a fenced in sunroom for cats to play. I can bathe them as well if needed. I love to hang out with them, snuggle and watch tv, go on long walk to get our steps in and teaching them tricks or playing fetch. I am very conscious of my surroundings and always keep a close eye on pets.

Hypoallergenic and friendly dogs only.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have years of experience caring for animals of all kinds. Growing up with horses taught me responsibility, patience, attention to detail, and how to confidently care for animals with different personalities and needs. In addition to horses, I have experience pet sitting for dogs and cats throughout high school and beyond for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m also a proud dog owner to my dachshund, Pockets, who I absolutely adore as well as my two horses Jessie and Seven and my three miniature ponies, Lloyd, Peaches, and Peanut. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or dependable daily care, I treat every animal like they’re my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know what it means to be on vacation and know that your animals are in trusted hands, that piece of mind can make your trip so much more enjoyable and I’m here to make that happen! I have a flexible schedule and offer plenty of time, attention, and care for your pets! Since pet sitting is something I do alongside my post-grad career search, I'm available the majority of the time and can often accommodate different schedules. I do compete professionally in rodeos, which may occasionally have me out of town on some weekends, but | keep my calendar updated and communicate early so scheduling is easy and reliable. Your pet's comfort and routine will always be my top priority while they're in my care. I have a fenced-in yard and experience caring for animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to horses. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, i'll tailor my care to their needs, personality, and routine. I'm happy to spend the extra time needed to keep things familiar for your pet while you're away.
About: Hey y’all, I’m Holly! I’m a full-time dog sitter, boarding host, and obedience trainer living the farm life just outside the city. About 15 years ago, I traded the hustle and bustle for more space, privacy, and a dog-centered lifestyle—and now my partner Isaac and I have built our home around exactly that. We offer boarding and daytime playgroups in a secure, home-based setting with the amenities you’d expect from a large boarding facility, but with the comfort, attention, and personal care of a private home. Our farmhouse sits on a securely fenced acre, giving dogs room to safely play, explore, decompress, and enjoy their stay. Dogs are truly life here. In addition to boarding and training, I serve as the Program Director of a New Orleans-based dog rescue specializing in high-medical-need dogs. Because of that, I’m very comfortable administering medications, injections, fluids, specialty diets, and handling dogs who need extra patience or experience. I also have trusted veterinarians on speed dial should anything urgent ever come up. I have extensive experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from feral strays and high-drive working breeds to seniors, puppies, tiny Poodles, nervous dogs, and everything in between. Baths, light grooming, crate routines, structured play, and special care instructions are all no problem. Basic obedience training packages are also available for dogs who could use a little extra polish during their stay. You're welcome and encouraged to take a look at our reviews - we pride ourselves on giving stellar care! If you’re looking for a safe, experienced, dog-savvy home where your pup will be treated like one of our own, we’d love to welcome them! I board dogs professionally from my home, so caring for them is part of my everyday routine — not something I squeeze in around another job. During the day, I run supervised playgroups in our secure yard and rotate dogs based on size, age, energy level, and personality. High-energy dogs get room to play, seniors get a calmer pace, and shy or sensitive dogs are given time to settle in comfortably. Everyone receives structured playtime, potty breaks, meals, treats, rest time, and plenty of individual attention throughout the day. Our farmhouse sits on 3.5 securely fenced acres, tucked away from busy streets and set up with dogs in mind. This is a dog-centered home with plenty of space, toys, enrichment, and safe areas for both play and rest. Dogs are always supervised and thoughtfully matched with appropriate playmates. I take introductions, group dynamics, feeding routines, medications, and individual needs seriously so every dog can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for during their stay.

About: I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet! I have a deep love for all animals, but I have the most experience with dogs and some cats as I’ve been pet sitting since a young age. I’ve had dogs and cats as pets my entire life. I’ve also helped raised three litters of puppies. I work full time Monday through Friday, but I am off every other Friday and get home early afternoon on the Fridays that I do work. I am free most Saturdays and Sundays based on my calendar availability. Book me for your next long weekend! I currently work full time 30 minutes from my home. My work schedule is 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday. I have every other Friday off so I do have availability for 3 day weekend care every other weekend! On the weekends, I typically stay in besides errands or the occasional going out to dinner. I have a large fenced yard for your love bug to enjoy. I also have two dogs (one large, one small) and a cat to keep your fur baby company! If necessary, I have four bedrooms to keep the animals separated.
About: My name is Amber and I am a 27 years old! I have two pet bunnies named Jimmy and Twix, and a dog named Juno! I have been a pet-sitter since I was in my teens and absolutely love my clients pets as I do my own. I have experience with cats, dogs, rabbits, and also reptiles! I have cared for senior pets as well as young pets. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I currently work part-time as a server in Mandeville. The shifts are 4-6 hours long. I do not work doubles when I am scheduled for pet-sitting, so no need to worry about me being gone for anything more than 4-6 hours at a time. I have two bunnies of my own, so I just need to check on them every other day for overnight stays. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. When I do overnight stays, I will leave your house cleaned and taken care of as I do my own.
About: I have experience with all types of animals . From flying squirrels to parrots , dogs to cats and hamsters to rabbits . I love all animals . I have cared for two dogs since I was 16 and I lost them recently to old age . After a year I took in a cat who was abandoned at my parent’s motel . Her name is Mila she is currently my only pet and I treat her like she is one of my children :) I’m open to caring for any animal so if you have an animal that’s not a dog or cat please don’t hesitate. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I spend the days that I am not at work home with my kids and the days I work I only work 6 hours . I’m currently not offering boarding at the moment because I have a cat . She gets scared of dogs and I don’t want to scare my little baby lol but I’m 100 percent available to care for your fur baby at your home .
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them goes beyond just “watching dogs” for me! I spent nearly a year working at a doggy daycare, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, as well as energy levels-from playful 4 month old puppies to sweet senior dogs who just need a little extra patience and care. I grew up around dachshunds and dobermans my whole life, and I now have my own Dalmatian that I rescued from illegal breeding. I understand both high-energy breeds and animals with unique personalities. My experience in pet sitting, dog behavior, proper socialization, and enrichment allows me to provide care that is attentive, structured, and tailored to each dog’s needs and personality. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, walks, mental stimulation, or simply a calm and restful environment, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for and loved while you are away. As a college student out for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. Aside from a job commitment one weekend a month, my availability is open for almost anything-walks, drop-ins, and daycare! Your pets comfort and safety are always my #1 priority. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming home where your dog can feel right at home. I make sure they have both companionship and personal space when needed. I have a room in my home with a tall baby gate dedicated for dogs where they can decompress, and nothing will bother them if they want their own space. I also have a very playful and friendly Dalmatian, Siggy, who loves having company around the house. I will always supervise if Siggy would be around your dog, including a safe and proper introduction of the two dogs and continuously watching them when they would be playing.

I regularly care for my sisters dog and 2 cats while she is out of town, maintaining their normal routines and care.

On walks, I focus on your pets safety, energy level, and making sure they are well hydrated.
About: I have had almost a decade of experience with animals that have severe anxiety. I know how to approach any animal. Animals sense energy and I feel that I am able to provide great energy throughout them being in my care. I currently work “full time,” but I do have an off day and time off throughout the day to walk those fur babies or spend time! I can do in home visits if you let me know in advance and I am able to walk any time of night…days vary, but I can work around anything 24/7. I have before.
About: Hey there! My name is Kylah and I am an absolute animal lover, especially dogs and cats! Having a dog of my own is so rewarding with all of the love I receive every single day. I am a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to give your animal the attention they need!

“I was so lucky to find Alyssa, my schedule changed on short notice and she responded immediately to my booking request. We had a call before the visits and my Benny loved her! She did such a great job with my stubborn but very sweet senior pup! I highly recommend her and look forward to future bookings!”
About: Patience and empathy are a major part of my approach to animals in general. I have realized that these beautiful creatures respond well to me because my love does not come with any strings. I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Kameha and a cat named Sushi. They are my world. Sushi's mother was a stray cat and not in good shape. I helped her heal and she ended having Sushi and several other kittens. Kameha was rescued from a bad home and she had worms as a puppy. Now she is full of life. My values include but are not limited to: safety, integrity, responsibility, respect, and dependability. I am entrepreneur and full time father and I am looking for supplemental income. Thank you for your time and consideration.
About: I have grown up with dogs of all kinds but specifically medium to larger dogs like labradors, huskies, and German shepherds. I have been dog sitting ever since I was 14. Family, friends, and others. I have experience in dog sitting, walking and running with them, feeding, and bathing them as well. I have helped take care of many puppies and senior dogs too! I am a college student so I am pretty much free anytime outside of class which is generally anytime before 9 and after 4. I have multiple breaks throughout the day though, so I can walk, feed, or just check in on the pups when needed. I usually just ask how my clients interact with their dogs and do the same. Like where the dogs are allowed to go in the house or outside of it, any command words that they use often, how often they need exercise, etc. I have a lot of experience with different dogs and different dog owners so it looks different depending on the household.
“Caroline is amazing! This was the first time we have left our dog in the care of someone other than family members. Caroline was perfect for our anxious and high energy dog. Caroline is so calm and professional. He quickly warmed up to her. I am sure he misses having his daily walks and check-ins with her. We highly recommend Caroline!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. I’ve grown up with always having a dog and a cat. I’m very flexible and always available! I’m a online student who has many pets! I have a lot of free time. I love animals and always looking for something to do! I live in a large field but I have a fence. If your pet is okay being around animals then it’s very safe for them! if not, i also have a house in baton rouge where i do school that has no pets and is also fenced in!
“Julie was amazing! Our other walker cancelled last minute and left us in a bind and Julie was an absolute lifesaver! She picked up our puppy from doggydare for us and brought him to our home to feed him dinner and play with him. She is definitely deserving of a 5 star rating and we look forward to using her for more walks in the future!”

“Regan was absolutely amazing with Archer. He is a senior Dachshund and can be a little unsure in new places, but she went above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable and cared for during his very first overnight stay. She was patient, gentile and very attentive to his needs. It’s such a relief to find someone who understands and loves older pups. I’m grateful for the peace of mind she gave me and all the pictures she sent during his stay.”
“Just the best! Kirsten is so great with taking care of my dog and keeping me up to date on everything. I swear my dog didn't even want to come home with me he was so happy there!”
“Once again, Tanks was so well cared for. He feels so at home at their home that I feel at ease when he visits there. Tank is loved there and the photos they text me show it! Thanks again!”
“Tyler was amazing! We felt great knowing our pup was in great hands and had as much of a vacation as we did! Would absolutely book with him again in a heartbeat.”
“Courtney took great care of my pup for 5 days. She gave her walks and sent me lots of pictures throughout Layla’s stay. My pup came home in great spirits. I will be using Courtney again.”
“She was great with Penny! Friendly and understanding, she took care of Penny as if it was her own pup! She checked in with me and sent pictures of Penny. It was such a relief to have Penny in a calm place while I was on vacation I will absolutely use her again!”
“Marisa was great! She was extremely accommodating, always trying to help make things easier for us for drop off and pick up. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and my pup definitely had fun because he has been sleeping all day. A sure sign of a good time for a one year old lab! =) it was awesome to know that he was having fun while we were away.”
“We were so happy to find Holly to watch our very active Doberman. Gemma is still young and learning so we needed someone familiar with her breed and energy level. Being that Holly runs a rescue we knew Gemma was in good hands and with someone who truly loves all animals. She’s got lots of room for the dogs to play and can accommodate dogs that play well together or dogs that need more one on one play. She kept us updated with pics and video & my girl was super happy!”
About: I’ve been very hands on with dogs for years, including raising and caring for my own pitbull, so I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes especially larger, high energy dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading a dog’s personality and body language. I can also help reinforce basic habits like potty routines, leash manners, and calm behavior for younger dogs. I treat pets like they’re my own and focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for instead of just “watching” them. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and adjust to what they need, whether that’s extra playtime, reassurance, structure, or space. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m consistent with routines and make sure pets are supervised and comfortable. I provide a calm, safe, and stress-free environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and always supervise pets during walks, playtime, and interactions with other dogs. I also have a smart camera in my home so I can keep an eye on pets if I step out briefly. For added safety and comfort, pets can be kenneled if needed or preferred by the owner.

“My 2 poodles had a stay for the weekend, I was nervous since this was their first stay but Rachel assured me everything will be fine and it definitely was! One of my dogs got a small injury when dropping off and she was quick to jump into action and take care of it!! She kept me updated with daily pictures throughout their stay. My babies have a new best friend with Raven and can’t wait to go back!! I highly recommend her and her services & will be using her for future stays!!”

“We booked with Lindsey last minute after an unexpected change of plans. Lindsey was so accommodating, she adjusted her schedule to meet our needs! Lindsey treated our lil guy like a Prince. She was very attentive to his needs and habits. Lindsey kept us updated with pics and texts and a doggy report card :). Overall great experience! Lindsey is AWESOME! A true lover of fur babies, for sure! Thanks for being so sweet! We will definitely call on Lindsey for future needs!”
“Need the kindest dog sitter, look no further! Nicole took amazing care of our sweet Sugar, an American Eskimo. From our meet and greet til the moment we picked up our sweet pup (who didn’t want to leave because she was so happy). Nicole took the time to listen to our concerns over sugar’s health and age. She asked multiple questions to assure us Sugar would be fine. She even sent pics and videos of her playing in the yard. We will definitely use her again!!”
“Brenley and his sweet family took AMAZING care of our 3 pups!! The communication was great and we appreciated the pictures and videos throughout the stay. We could tell that they had an amazing time with their new friends and will be definitely using them again!!”
