“Max loved his week long stay. My husband and I enjoyed the pictures and videos that were sent. Would definitely recommend them! We will be using them again. Thank you so much!”
“Alysha was wonderful with my dog and made the whole experience easy and stress-free. My pup was happy and well cared for when I returned. I truly appreciate the care and attention she gave—highly recommend and would book again!”
“Susan took great care of Keke. She sent pics of Keke the whole time we were away. Will definitely have Susan sit Keke in the future and would recommend her to a friend.”
“I really cannot say enough good things about Candy! My dogs had a vacation of their own staying with her! And she always sent photos daily of them doing fun outdoor activities without me even having to ask. She was the best sitter I’ve seen so far and it is definitely worth the drive out to her place!”
“Very friendly. She took wonderful care of our 2 dogs and cat. They definitely didn’t not want to leave. She gave updated and did a meet and greet before hand to get to know them. We will be back”
“An amazing sitter. I went on a 5 day cruise and was so nervous about leaving my fur baby with anybody. Thankfully, Tenashia took my very last minute request and the experience was a 10/10. Very responsive when I checked in on him. She cared for my dog as if he were hers, and I couldn’t be happier. Super friendly, when I met her I knew my baby was in good hands. Will definitely book again.”
“Vanessa was perfect! Sent me lots of pictures and videos while my puppy stayed with her and responded quickly whenever I texted her! Would definitely recommend!!”
“Roger was amazing, he took great care of Rico. I get a little nervous, when I leave Rico at a sitter, but I was extremely comfortable. Roger was great, hopefully he will always be available, when we go out of town. 5star”
“Kourtney was SO good with Raisin. It did my heart good to see pics and hear the little stories daily about what they were up to! I am truly grateful for Kourtney and the way she cared for Raisin.🩷🐾”
“This was the best experience we have had so far on Rover! Lindsey was phenomenal at taking care of our extremely active dog. Received daily photos of my dog and constant communication about how his day went. Will be booking again!”
About: Your pets aren't just guests; they are family. As a Veterinary Technician, I provide a level of care similar to having a pediatric nurse watch your children. My journey began at 18 as a bather and kennel tech, but my passion led me to work alongside some of the most skilled veterinarians in the field. Following the loss of my children’s father, Justin, I found myself at a crossroads, needing a career that allowed me to be there for my kids while still honoring my calling to work with animals. This led to my current mission: opening my own boarding facility in memory of Justin and my beloved rescue dog, Elsie, who stayed by my side from the day I met him until just days after his passing. When you trust me with your 'fur babies,' you aren’t just getting a sitter; you’re getting a professional dedicated to their health, happiness, and safety. I promise they’ll be wagging with joy the moment they hear my name!" I am currently not working due to conflicting hours with my children's school schedule. Therefore, I am flexible with pet sitting hours outside of school pickup/drop off times. As a person who has worked in animal health for a long period of time, safety is my main priority when it comes to your pet. I have done it all, from bathing pets to assisting in surgery. Your pet will always be in safe hands with me.
About: I've been blessed to foster more than 20 dogs over the past couple of years. I know training basics, have a big backyard, and currently have two of my own dogs who love to play. I am currently not working so I am free the majority of the time. This allows there to be little to no crating required during the day. I have a large fenced in backyard for free play and zoomies. Inside I have dog beds and toys and a lap for cuddling. My two dogs are friendly and have had plenty of exposure to other dogs through my fostering.
About: I’ve had multiple dogs growing up as well as lots of other animals! I often dog sit for my siblings and love having them. I like my home to feel like their home with little adjustment. I work at 5 am and come home for lunch and am back home by 12 and am home for the rest of the night. I live right by my job and they are very flexible with me. I love being home in the evenings and having someone to take walks with is ideal! My apartment is open to pets, furniture included unless specified. I will happily keep pets off your furniture if needed. I take regular walks with a leash for exercise to make up for the lack of hard at my house.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for a very long time you can even say my whole life. I’ve raised cats, dogs, birds, chinchillas, even a chameleon from babies to adults. I’ve potty trained many puppies, taught them tricks, and even cared for pregnant mommas with puppies. Cats are more of my specialty though i’ve litter box trained them, taught them to walk on a leash, tamed feral cats/kittens. I also volunteer from time to time at the Acadiana Animal Aid shelter helping care for cats/dogs in need of homes. I’m currently working full-time. I work an 8 hour day normally from 8 am - 5 pm, my hours are flexible though. I also have a 1 hour lunch I can take. I’m completely free most weekends. I have a mostly fenced yard where my dog Huck loves to play, it is a little small but we make do with the space we have. My dog and cats gets fed twice a day morning/evening. If I’m caring for an animal in a clients home I can visit in the mornings/lunch/evenings depending on the care needed.
About: I've been in love with animals all my life. They were deep childhood friends and I feel a special bond with them. I grew up on a hobby farm and in 4-H. I am now a retired RN, and I'm enjoying being surrounded by animals again. I have taken care of domesticated cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters and gerbils, guinea pigs, and birds. Any animal needing help or love grabs my heart. It is my goal to give this love to your cherished companion when you are gone. I also know how hard it can be for you to be separated from your pet, and am very conscientious about sending updates, pictures/videos and communicating anything else that needs to be communicated. I am working part time, and have afternoons, evenings and weekends available. I am hoping to build up a regular client base and have more time available soon. I live in a small home so I prefer to take care of your loved ones in your home. I am able to overnight: house-sitting, cleaning, and pet-sitting. I have plenty of time for walks, check-ins, and play-time on the days I am working, and welcome all-day care in your home on my time off. I am situationally aware and keep an eye on the environment at all times when walking your pup and playing, as well as on any potential escape routes or hazardous items if eaten or drunk. I am very respectful of your pet's space and routine and take my time to sense in to what will make them feel the most loved, the safest, and the most comfortable while you are gone. I am a reliable communicator regarding anything with your home or your pet that would require your attention.
“Our 70lb puppy can be a handful! We know. Lol. He is such a sweet dog, but might have a bit of an unhealthy attachment to his family. He definitely developed some big anxiety along the way and we have had difficulty kenneling him anymore. He needs some special attention to help calm him and he needs to know he's loved. We almost had to cancel our trip, but Tabitha agreed at the last minute for a meet and greet since he had never been around cats. She agreed to board him after we saw he was unfazed by the cats. She definitely cared for him very well! He didn't come home traumatized from being separated from us. He is active and moving as if nothing ever happened! He has a mean bark, but if you can get past it, you'll see he is just very protective and can be just so sweet. Tabitha went out of her way to make him feel at home!!! She is definitely a very loving animal person and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again and again!! Thank you Tabitha!”

About: I would humbly refrain from making the statement that I am better than my counterparts, as that is not for me to judge. I will say that I am an incredibly caring and empathetic individual, and that translates well to how I operate animals as well as people. I grew up with dogs and cats inside of my home, and I was always very attentive to them in terms of playing, petting, feeding, and making them feel cared for. My experience as a sitter only spans about a year altogether, but as a mother of human children, I understand the responsibility that comes with monitoring and caring for any member of someone else’s family. Animals are never excluded in that💙 I have two children, one of which is in daycare and the other in grade school. During the summer months, my availability would be from 7AM to 5PM, as I’d have to pick my youngest up from daycare by 5:30PM. From August to May, my availability would be 7:30AM - 5PM, as this would grant me time to drop my oldest off to school before beginning a day’s work. At the moment, I can only offer care in the home of clients, as my landlord does not allow pets to be present on the premises. Having said this, I am flexible in the number of services I am willing to offer in the home of clients. I want each individual to feel confident in the care their pet is receiving while they are away. I will do what I can to ensure this is the case 💙
“Destiny was an amazing dog sitter for my children’s pups! Her check-ins were consistent and effective for daily interactions with the pups. She communicated very well throughout the scheduled drop in visits. I would highly recommend Destiny for any future dog sitting opportunities!”
About: I’ve grown up with 2 English bulldogs my whole life. I work at a dog daycare with every breed and size imaginable. I love animals I work park time at my dog daycare facility. But if you message me in advance I will make you and your beautiful pup my top priority! I currently do not own a pet but I always had my English bulldogs following me around my parents house so I’m always aware of my surroundings and making sure I didn’t step on them
About: I’ve taken care cats, dogs, and birds since I’ve been about 3 years old. I am currently a vet technician and I have 2 dogs and fours cats. They all get along together. I have a 60lbs husky and a 8lbs chiweenie who get along great and loves cats. I do offer nail trims and baths as well. I am very good at nail trims. Many people have relied on me to care for their animals. I have worked in professional places that do both animal care and boarding. I know the signs to look out for if needed. I have been medicating dogs and cats for the past three years. If any emergency was to rise then I know exactly where both emergency clinics are. I know that you’ll get the best care for your baby and that you’ll get updates daily from them. I’ll let you know how they are doing everyday, you’ll get a picture of them so you’ll be able to see for yourself that they’re having a blast. I work Monday- Friday 8-5. I get a lunch break from 12-1, and go home to let my dogs out to potty and get a little exercise before heading back to work for 1:30. I get off at 5 and go home and take care of my pets. I feed them all and of course let them out to go potty and get some exercise. I am off on the weekends, and I stay at home so it wouldn’t no problem to have a few fur babies over. I don’t have a new fence quite yet but I do walk the dogs frequently and let them play together inside and outside ,I have two dogs, two husky mixes who loves to play with other doggie. They both do get along with cats as I have 4 and my fourth one and my husky are absolutely the best of friends. I can go to a home if need be. I am vet technician. So I am well equipped to handle any kind of emergency situation. If your baby needs daily medications I know all the ways to give it safely. I am very good with nervous babies. I make sure that any pet that I watch does have their vaccines. If a Pet doesn’t have their vaccines then I will not watch them with other dogs. It would have to be in their home instead. I want to make sure everyone is safe. I do offer baths, and nail trims as well. I also offer a bit of grooming. Nothing professional but I can do simple trims, etc.

“We are so incredibly thankful for the sweet care given to our puppy, Oakley. We needed help very last minute due to unexpected funeral arrangements, and she was beyond accommodating, understanding, and compassionate during a stressful time for our family. From the moment Oakley was dropped off, we felt reassured that he was in great hands. She kept us updated, was responsive, caring, and treated Oakley like one of her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was safe, loved, and well cared for while we handled family matters. We truly cannot thank her enough for stepping in on such short notice and making a difficult time a little easier for us. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again in the future. 🐾🤍”
About: I have cared for and owned many cats and dogs during my lifetime. I have cared for them from early life until seniors who passed away. My last dog who was rescued from the Shelter at age 2 approximately. He had diabetes and I administered 2 injections of insulin to him daily for about 7 years. He lived to be about 15 years old. I am retired so have time to dedicate to caring for a pet. I try not to schedule any appointments away from home when caring for a pet in my house. I have a fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood. I do not have any pets at this time so a guest pet would have plenty of attention.
About: Hi! I'm Maria, a lifelong animal lover and your trusted partner for safe, fun, and loving pet care. For over a decade, I've been the go to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels. I understand that every pup has a unique personality, and my goal is to make them feel as happy and secure as if you never left. Why choose my home for your dog's stay? · A Safe, Spacious Haven: My house features a fully fenced, secure backyard with plenty of room for zoomies, playtime, and sunbathing. It's a true dog-friendly domain! · Active & Attentive Care: I believe in tailored care—whether your dog is a high-energy adventurer needing long walks and fetch sessions, or a cozy senior who prefers gentle strolls and plenty of couch cuddles. · A Stress-Free Environment: I provide a calm, clean, and pet-only home (no children), ensuring your dog receives my full attention and doesn't feel overwhelmed. · Constant Communication: You'll receive regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is having a great time. I treat every guest with the same love, patience, and respect I'd want for my own pet. Let's connect, I can't wait to welcome your best friend for their very own vacation. I work 4 to 6 hours a day; the rest of the time, I am at home. I always take them out to the yard before I leave, and I make sure they have food and water. When I return, I take them out to the yard again, and we go for a walk, following our established routine. They usually stay indoors, except for morning and evening walks and bathroom breaks in the fenced yard, which last approximately 30 minutes, three times a day. The dogs eat according to a schedule set by the owner, and they have the freedom to move freely around the house and lie down wherever they want. I have a medium-sized mixed-breed dog who usually ignores other dogs and sometimes plays with them if he likes them.
“Sadie and I would definitely recommend Megan for doggy daycare! She is prompt and reliable--Always responded to messaging right away. She seems genuine and friendly. Sadie, who is a little shy with strangers, warmed to her quickly. We would certainly use her kind services again!”
“Gabrielle was amazing. Jake had a great time hanging out. I will absolutely use her again next time I'm in town. I was so fortunate to find her close to where I was going to be! Thank you again 💙”

I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs—whether that’s playtime, walks, or just extra cuddles. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands. My goal is simple: to give your pet the same love and care they get from you. I’m currently working a part time job but when I’m not working I love to play with animals and giving them affection.

I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, playtime, and rest.

In both settings, I prioritize safety, consistency, and communication. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing, and I’m always attentive to any changes in behavior or health.
“Thanks for everything Susan! Buddy had a great time and came back exhausted. My fur baby means the world to me and I needed someone who would take care of him like me. We will be making more appointments in the future!!”
“Tabitha took great care of Athena. She was excited to return the 2nd day, and really enjoyed being treated as one of the family. I appreciate the flexibility and the devotion Tabitha showed.”
About: I have raised and trained two puppies and I have also been a pet sitter for several families, caring for pets of all ages. I love to care for animals and provide them with lots of attention. I currently have a puppy who is very playful and she will be a great playmate for any dogs that like to play. I am happy to accommodate any special needs that your dog may have, and I enjoy taking dogs on walks if they like that. My schedule is generally pretty open for doggy daycare and boarding. I have a lot of availability but the days and times that I am available vary week to week. I am a massage therapist working part time out of my house, so when on a day that I have clients coming I will not be taking dogs. I am almost always available for overnight boarding. I have a fenced in yard and a puppy of my own that will give your dog company and entertainment. I am happy to take your dog on walks, feed and play with them, and give them snuggles if they like that.
About: I have loved all animals from a young age but have an especially soft spot for dogs. I have worked with a pitbull rescue in the past, volunteered at rescue events and shelters and my sister has been a vet tech for over a decade. I currently have 7 fur baby rescues of my own that I have found wandering the streets all different sizes and breeds : ) I work full-time but from home. I have a constant rotation in place for letting pups out to potty, play, and spend one on one time with them. I am almost always home except for a few hours throughout the week to workout or run errands. My personal pets have an underground fence that keeps them in the yard, however I have 3 large covered runs under the carport each with a grassy area and shop fans, cots, and large water basins if extended outdoor time is required other than a leash walk for your baby. Indoors I have 2 bedrooms designated for pups as well as a living area. I rotate groups throughout these areas as well as outside during the day as I have dogs of all ages and activity levels.

Currently This is my full time Job so I have the ability to stay home and dedicate all my time to my clients. I take great pride in knowing each fur baby gets my undivided attention. I do have a small fenced in patio area but my townhouse complex has a large grass area where the animals are able to run and play safely.

About: I have foster and rescue animals for a local rescue for 4 years before moving to Utah.I am active duty Air Force so I know the struggle that comes with finding someone reliable and trustworthy to watch my pets. I have 3 that I rescued off the streets and I do not like boarding them. I understand the need for a more personal care for my pet in order to truly be comfortable being away from them. I work from home so my schedule is pretty open majority of the time. I have a large backyard and make sure to do daily outside activities for the dogs that have energy to burn. I have a fenced yard and a canopy which provides lots of shade. I always go outside with the dogs so I can pick up poop.
About: I take care of different dogs at once. I’ve always had pets in my household, and grew up around veterinarians. Would love to work for you today!

“Haley has been so great and patient with Nova! She keeps me updated throughout the day and does really well to ensure nova is comfortable with her.

The next visit, nova was trying to get out the car before I could when we pulled up she was so excited to be back to visit Haley!”

About: I've loved animals my whole life. I've raised puppies and cared for senior dogs and everything in-between. I enjoy volunteering as a pet transporter for animal rescues. I own my own cleaning business. So pet sitting fits into my schedule perfectly. Some homes I clean and pet sit for as well. I love what I do. I have 5 senior cats so I prefer to care for pets in their own homes. I'm always working in different towns so this works best for me. I am trustworthy and have references.
About: Growing up on a farm, I have always had a passion for animals. My passion for dogs started with Cody when I was just 5 years old. He was a great mix breed dog who loved playing with frogs just as much as me. Throughout my life, I have cared for dogs of all sizes and various breeds. I have never not shared my home with a dog or 2 or 3. Currently, 2 Great Pyrenees and a dirt road dog fill my bed. I am also a stay at home mom to 4 beautiful children. This allows my schedule to be very flexible. I love working with dogs and would like to get back into this field. During high school, I volunteered and fostered for a local animal shelter. During college and 2 years after, I worked as a vet tech and dog groomer. My kids are 7 years old and younger therefore a flexible job that I can set my own hours is best to accommodate my family.

About: Hello, Furbaby Parents!!! I love and treat my furbabies like human babies...and, to me, they are. A baby is a baby. They need love, nourishment, direction, and laughter and that is what your baby will get while at our home. 🐈🐕😍 I try to only keep 1 dog at a time, in addition to our 2. I find it helps ease any new pup's anxiety if only 1 new personality is added at a time...to our melting pot of permanent characters. Lol I know that it is difficult to leave your pet with someone new but I can promise you that they will be loved, cared for and treated with the utmost respect. And they will not be kept in a kennel unless specified by you! Our home will be their new vacation spot. I hope they love to play with cats! 🐈 All rates are negotiable depending upon the situation or circumstance. I'm here to help!! I am currently taking time off to stay at home so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I am available 7 days a week, anytime of day or night. I have a yard and 2 friendly pups to play with your baby. I also have kitties to keep your pup entertained. Nothing but excitement over here!

But if you message me in advance I will make you and your beautiful pup my top priority! I currently do not own a pet but I always had my English bulldogs following me around my parents house so I’m always aware of my surroundings and making sure I didn’t step on them

I also help volunteer at Acadiana Animal Aid walking the pups! I am currently a student in college but I have a flexible class schedule as many of my classes end by 11:50!

About: I’ve taken care cats, dogs, and birds since I’ve been about 3 years old. I am currently a vet technician and I have 2 dogs and fours cats. They all get along together. I have a 60lbs husky and a 8lbs chiweenie who get along great and loves cats. I do offer nail trims and baths as well. I am very good at nail trims. Many people have relied on me to care for their animals. I have worked in professional places that do both animal care and boarding. I know the signs to look out for if needed. I have been medicating dogs and cats for the past three years. If any emergency was to rise then I know exactly where both emergency clinics are. I know that you’ll get the best care for your baby and that you’ll get updates daily from them. I’ll let you know how they are doing everyday, you’ll get a picture of them so you’ll be able to see for yourself that they’re having a blast. I work Monday- Friday 8-5. I get a lunch break from 12-1, and go home to let my dogs out to potty and get a little exercise before heading back to work for 1:30. I get off at 5 and go home and take care of my pets. I feed them all and of course let them out to go potty and get some exercise. I am off on the weekends, and I stay at home so it wouldn’t no problem to have a few fur babies over. I don’t have a new fence quite yet but I do walk the dogs frequently and let them play together inside and outside ,I have two dogs, two husky mixes who loves to play with other doggie. They both do get along with cats as I have 4 and my fourth one and my husky are absolutely the best of friends. I can go to a home if need be. I am vet technician. So I am well equipped to handle any kind of emergency situation. If your baby needs daily medications I know all the ways to give it safely. I am very good with nervous babies. I make sure that any pet that I watch does have their vaccines. If a Pet doesn’t have their vaccines then I will not watch them with other dogs. It would have to be in their home instead. I want to make sure everyone is safe. I do offer baths, and nail trims as well. I also offer a bit of grooming. Nothing professional but I can do simple trims, etc.

“Max loved his week long stay. My husband and I enjoyed the pictures and videos that were sent. Would definitely recommend them! We will be using them again. Thank you so much!”
“Alysha was wonderful with my dog and made the whole experience easy and stress-free. My pup was happy and well cared for when I returned. I truly appreciate the care and attention she gave—highly recommend and would book again!”
“I really cannot say enough good things about Candy! My dogs had a vacation of their own staying with her! And she always sent photos daily of them doing fun outdoor activities without me even having to ask. She was the best sitter I’ve seen so far and it is definitely worth the drive out to her place!”
“Very friendly. She took wonderful care of our 2 dogs and cat. They definitely didn’t not want to leave. She gave updated and did a meet and greet before hand to get to know them. We will be back”
“Vanessa was perfect! Sent me lots of pictures and videos while my puppy stayed with her and responded quickly whenever I texted her! Would definitely recommend!!”
“Roger was amazing, he took great care of Rico. I get a little nervous, when I leave Rico at a sitter, but I was extremely comfortable. Roger was great, hopefully he will always be available, when we go out of town. 5star”
“Kourtney was SO good with Raisin. It did my heart good to see pics and hear the little stories daily about what they were up to! I am truly grateful for Kourtney and the way she cared for Raisin.🩷🐾”
About: Your pets aren't just guests; they are family. As a Veterinary Technician, I provide a level of care similar to having a pediatric nurse watch your children. My journey began at 18 as a bather and kennel tech, but my passion led me to work alongside some of the most skilled veterinarians in the field. Following the loss of my children’s father, Justin, I found myself at a crossroads, needing a career that allowed me to be there for my kids while still honoring my calling to work with animals. This led to my current mission: opening my own boarding facility in memory of Justin and my beloved rescue dog, Elsie, who stayed by my side from the day I met him until just days after his passing. When you trust me with your 'fur babies,' you aren’t just getting a sitter; you’re getting a professional dedicated to their health, happiness, and safety. I promise they’ll be wagging with joy the moment they hear my name!" I am currently not working due to conflicting hours with my children's school schedule. Therefore, I am flexible with pet sitting hours outside of school pickup/drop off times. As a person who has worked in animal health for a long period of time, safety is my main priority when it comes to your pet. I have done it all, from bathing pets to assisting in surgery. Your pet will always be in safe hands with me.
About: I’ve had multiple dogs growing up as well as lots of other animals! I often dog sit for my siblings and love having them. I like my home to feel like their home with little adjustment. I work at 5 am and come home for lunch and am back home by 12 and am home for the rest of the night. I live right by my job and they are very flexible with me. I love being home in the evenings and having someone to take walks with is ideal! My apartment is open to pets, furniture included unless specified. I will happily keep pets off your furniture if needed. I take regular walks with a leash for exercise to make up for the lack of hard at my house.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for a very long time you can even say my whole life. I’ve raised cats, dogs, birds, chinchillas, even a chameleon from babies to adults. I’ve potty trained many puppies, taught them tricks, and even cared for pregnant mommas with puppies. Cats are more of my specialty though i’ve litter box trained them, taught them to walk on a leash, tamed feral cats/kittens. I also volunteer from time to time at the Acadiana Animal Aid shelter helping care for cats/dogs in need of homes. I’m currently working full-time. I work an 8 hour day normally from 8 am - 5 pm, my hours are flexible though. I also have a 1 hour lunch I can take. I’m completely free most weekends. I have a mostly fenced yard where my dog Huck loves to play, it is a little small but we make do with the space we have. My dog and cats gets fed twice a day morning/evening. If I’m caring for an animal in a clients home I can visit in the mornings/lunch/evenings depending on the care needed.
“Our 70lb puppy can be a handful! We know. Lol. He is such a sweet dog, but might have a bit of an unhealthy attachment to his family. He definitely developed some big anxiety along the way and we have had difficulty kenneling him anymore. He needs some special attention to help calm him and he needs to know he's loved. We almost had to cancel our trip, but Tabitha agreed at the last minute for a meet and greet since he had never been around cats. She agreed to board him after we saw he was unfazed by the cats. She definitely cared for him very well! He didn't come home traumatized from being separated from us. He is active and moving as if nothing ever happened! He has a mean bark, but if you can get past it, you'll see he is just very protective and can be just so sweet. Tabitha went out of her way to make him feel at home!!! She is definitely a very loving animal person and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again and again!! Thank you Tabitha!”
“Kelly was an excellent choice to watch Hoss for a couple of days while I was out of town. She was quick to respond and offered a very flexible schedule as it related to drop-off/pick-up options. We've already been in discussions for the next booking, would recommend.”
About: Hi! I’m a passionate and experienced dog lover with over 4 years of hands on experience working at a busy doggy daycare. In that role, I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Handling everything from playtime supervision and feeding to administering basic care and ensuring a safe, happy environment for every pup. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve grown up around them, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like they’re my own with patience, attention, and lots of love. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a reliable sitter, or just some extra attention while you’re away, you can count on me to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. I’m comfortable with high energy dogs, shy pups, and everything in between! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! I’m a teacher during the week, so my pet care schedule fits perfectly around that! I’m available in the afternoons/evenings on weekdays, and I have full availability on weekends, holidays, and throughout the summer. This allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency when their owners need it most. I have a dog of my own, but I live in an apartment, so boarding in my home isn’t ideal. My dog is friendly so play dates are definitely an option if you’re okay with it! I prefer caring for pets in their own environment where they’re most comfortable. In a client’s home, I always follow all provided instructions closely and do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal and consistent as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any specific care needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and stress free while you’re away.
“Shayna thank you so much for taking care of Maxx. Keeping me updated with photos and whereabouts truly left a lasting impression and I felt comfortable leaving my pet with you. I will definitely be a return customer.”
