“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.”
“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.”
“Milo had the best time with Lauren and Sydney!!!!! You can tell they love all their fur babies and will take care of yours like they are their own….. I received several pictures and videos during Milo’s stay and felt very comfortable with them….. thank you Lauren and Sydney, Milo will be back next weekend and many more to come!!! Thanks y’all”
“We went on an extended vacation for over one month. Our Golden Doodle Prince is part of our family. In the past, we put him in a couple of different kennels with mixed results, but never felt comfortable. This vacation we left him with Kirsten. We received photos everyday. Prince was loved, walked, and cared for by her entire family. When we used kennels in the past, it would take Prince several days to get back to normal. After over a month with Kirsten, similar to summer camp for kids, we brought Prince home and he was his normal self. Thank you Kirsten for taking such good care of Prince.”
“Tyler is phenomenal! This is the second time he has watched my parent's dog, and the first time he watched my dog. He takes dogs on walks, plays with them, and is always giving you updates via text. The dogs came home very happy and you can tell they were taken care of. Highly recommended and will absolutely call him again in the future.”
“Jes and her husband took exceptional care of my two dogs while I was away. They truly went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Jes kept me updated with plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and was attentive to their individual needs, making sure they received the best possible care. I could tell my dogs were loved and treated like family.”
“Courtney was terrific! I would definitely recommend using her to watch your pup! My plans had changed several times and she was very understanding … will use her again!”

“Sawsan is the best! She calmed my nerves about leaving my puppy for the first time. She’s very attentive and just wants all the animals in her care to have fun play time outside and have someone watching over them instead of being left alone in a kennel. Always got plenty of pictures and videos!”

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.

“Bobbi is a wonderful young lady and she and her mother took great care of my senior dog. She is knowledgable about separation anxiety and made sure to keep my old baby calm. She texted me daily with a photo and updates. This greatly helped my separation anxiety.😊 I would recommend Bobbi to anyone that needs to board their dog.”

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.

I am currently working from home. Travel once a month. So I have plenty of time to check on the babies, play with them outside, and give them occasional treats. I have a fenced in yard that is designed for small dogs, a large dog would likely jump over. But it works great for the small dogs, plenty of shade, plenty of grass. And in the house, I have an abundance of pet beds, and blankies.

About: Cute storyyy: I was on the back road home in Bush and happen to see something very tiny, but also a huge lifted truck that hurried and stopped. I didn’t know what it was. I just know it was tiny and seemed like it didn’t know what to do or where to go so I saved it. Poor baby, it was a black kitten with a white cross on her chest, and her eyes weren’t opened yet. I don’t think she even knew what she was because next thing you know she’s on my shoulder, the smallest little parrot ever! Well Nova is what I had named her, and I can say I’m beyond thankful for our family friend that took her in, spoiling her, and giving her not just an amazing home but the best older fur sibling and family! Nova is definitely something special!💜
About: I have had almost a decade of experience with animals that have severe anxiety. I know how to approach any animal.

“Victoria was very sweet and responsive. I felt very comfortable leaving our pup with her for the day. Thank you for all of the updates! They helped us remain at ease :) Thank you again for keeping Quinn safe and letting her run around in your backyard!”
“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!”

“I cannot begin to say enough wonderful things about Sawsan. My family was visiting mandeville with our golden pup and did not want her left alone at our Airbnb while we went out exploring. Sawsan took Nala for daycare and she had an absolute blast! Sawsan is absolutely delightful and took amazing care of our girl. I highly recommend leaving your babies with her, you will not be disappointed!”
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 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: 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.
About: I have a standard size golden doodle and he is so affectionate so i know how it feels to leave your dog somewhere but here my goal is to provide the best at home care for your doodle/poodle. I have had a lot of trouble finding a suitable place for him because he doesn't love to be in the crate, he needs love all the time and want to be involved in everything as a family so if your dog is similar, i am the perfect match. i work from home and i dont believe in ever leaving my dog alone at home so basically i am always home to take care of your fur baby. I have a fenced yard and a standard size happy golden doodle to give company to your doodle/poodle. We have a free roaming environment at home with lots of backyard fetch and other games but can-do crate if you need. i dont like the idea of leaving my dog in the boarding day cares available because my dog doesnt feel comfortable and i dont either so i give a free home like environment with the air conditioned always running and me always availble at home. Hypoallergenic and friendly dogs only.
About: I’ve had my family dog, Princess, a Pomeranian-Papillon mix, since I was four years old. I was the one who named her, and she’s been my best friend ever since. I’ve cared for her through every stage of her life, from a playful puppy to now as a senior dog, so I understand that pets have different needs as they get older. Senior pets have a special place in my heart, and I’m always happy to give them the extra patience and love they deserve. As a college student, I’m home during school breaks, which means I have a flexible schedule and lots of time to dedicate to your pet. I’m also available during holiday breaks! During the academic year, though, I’ll be inactive while I’m away at college, so I only accept bookings when I’m home. I usually only take one family’s pet(s) at a time (unless otherwise arranged), so they’ll get lots of one-on-one care and won’t have to compete for attention. I’ll stick to your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, and I ask that owners provide their pet’s food, medications (if needed), favorite toys, and any other essentials. If I’m caring for a cat, I’ll also need their litter box, litter, and other supplies. Communication is really important to me. I’ll send plenty of pictures and updates, and if you’re missing your pet, I’m even happy to FaceTime so you can check in. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re apart.

During the academic year, though, I’ll be inactive while I’m away at college, so I only accept bookings when I’m home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get lots of attention throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I share my home with my senior dog, Princess. She’s older, independent, and usually keeps to herself, but I’ll always make thoughtful introductions and make sure everyone is comfortable. I only accept one family’s pet(s) at a time (unless otherwise arranged), so I can give them my full attention and closely monitor their interactions. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I’ll always make sure water is fresh, the environment is clean, and your pet feels safe and comfortable. If I ever notice anything unusual, I’ll let you know right away so you can have peace of mind.
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!
About: I work from home during summer months. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, including feeding, walking, basic care routines, and ensuring their safety and comfort. I am comfortable with: * Small, medium, and large dogs * Feeding routines and medication reminders * Leash walking and basic behavior management * Maintaining clean and safe environments And providing photo updates throughout your stay! I am fully available throughout the summer and have flexible daytime and evening hours. I am home most of the day, so I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care as needed.

I follow each pet’s routine closely and ensure a calm, supervised, and secure environment.
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.

“Amber was truly the best person to leave my sweet puppy with for the day! She kept me updated through text with pictures and videos throughout his entire stay, she invited me in when we arrived to give me the assurance of knowing where he would be for the day. Her home was very clean, tidy, and she was inviting to make me more comfortable. My anxiety about leaving him for the day was immediately relieved. Do not hesitate to let her care for your pets!!”

My weekends are always changing and very flexible. I like caring for pets in their own home because that is where they feel most comfortable, following their normal routine and offering attention and companionship. On walks, I focus on your pets safety, energy level, and making sure they are well hydrated.
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 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: I grew up on a farm, had lots of dogs, cats, and all sorts of other animals to care for. As an adult, I’ve had quite a few cats, and I’m the current owner of three small dogs. I am currently working from home. Travel once a month. So I have plenty of time to check on the babies, play with them outside, and give them occasional treats. I have a fenced in yard that is designed for small dogs, a large dog would likely jump over. But it works great for the small dogs, plenty of shade, plenty of grass. And in the house, I have an abundance of pet beds, and blankies.
About: I’ve taken care of and lived with dogs and cats my entire life. I currently own five cats and one dog. I’m very good with them. I work from home in Covington so I have a very flexible schedule. I work for a radio station in New Orleans as a producer. I can work from anywhere as long as I have my phone and an Internet connection. I will make sure that your pet is safe and well taken care of.… Making sure not to let them get away or come to any harm. And of course having fun!
“Anna was wonderful with my dog Aurora. They went for a walk around my neighborhood. Aurora is a very large dog and Anna did a great job maintaining and handling her. Aurora is still smiling after her walk. I will definitely ask Anna to walk Aurora in the future.”
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.

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.
About: I am an animal science student at LSU (geaux tigers). I have both personal and clinical experience with many pet species and have a deep understanding of their needs and will ensure they are properly cared for. I have plenty of time during the weekends! In addition, I am available early mornings 6-8 am and afternoon/ evenings 3-8pm. These time ranges ensure I’m available during feedings and safe walking temperatures. As an animal science student and personal dog parent, I understand the importance of animals needing to feel loved and safe. I am knowledgeable on proper walking practices as well as common commands for trained dogs in order to keep both the pet and I safe.
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.

They are so energetic and keep me active so being active with your dog is no problem. I am available any time as I work from home with a flexible schedule. I’ll be able to give your baby my full attention. Just let me know when you need to look after your baby I love taking dogs for walks or even car rides. Love playing fetch or whatever your dog enjoys doing. I also have a crate to crate your dog in if needed.
“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: Growing up in an animal loving household made a huge impact in who I am today. Ever since I was little i’ve always had a connection with animals, my family even calls me the animal whisperer lol. I have four fur babies of my own, all were rescued from shelters, who I devout most of my free time too. I’m currently a senior in college majoring in Psychology with a minor in criminal justice! I currently have all online classes so I can dedicate all my time to your fur babies and their needs! Im available Monday-Sunday whether that be pet sitting or drop in visits at anytime throughout the day! Listening to your pets needs is a must! Making sure your fur babies have the proper dieting and exercise they require is a huge priority, as long as they’re in my care, I’ll always spoil them and make sure they have everything they need!
“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!”
About: I have a love for all animals, as a child growing up I have always wanted to be a Veterinarian Assistant. I began doing foster care for dogs in 2020 after doing this for a while I felt a much greater need to help even more. I began my own dog rescue in 2020. I walk, play, love and care for each animal. I have rescued and rehomed several dogs to safe and loving homes. I treat them as if they were my own. The unbreakable bond between pets and their people is something that will forever warm my heart! I’m currently working part time. I’m available after work and on my off days. Just message me and we can make things work! I’m more than happy to help! I have three fur-babies of my own and they love to run around and play outside, there is 7-acres of land, and the best part is not by any main roads, it’s private. I also walk my dogs or let them play inside with some toys. Depending on your pet and your instructions for your pet, I’ll make sure that your pet and you as well feel comfortable with things. If it’s a client’s home then whatever instructions are given I’ll make sure to go by!

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.

“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.”
“Milo had the best time with Lauren and Sydney!!!!! You can tell they love all their fur babies and will take care of yours like they are their own….. I received several pictures and videos during Milo’s stay and felt very comfortable with them….. thank you Lauren and Sydney, Milo will be back next weekend and many more to come!!! Thanks y’all”
“We went on an extended vacation for over one month. Our Golden Doodle Prince is part of our family. In the past, we put him in a couple of different kennels with mixed results, but never felt comfortable. This vacation we left him with Kirsten. We received photos everyday. Prince was loved, walked, and cared for by her entire family. When we used kennels in the past, it would take Prince several days to get back to normal. After over a month with Kirsten, similar to summer camp for kids, we brought Prince home and he was his normal self. Thank you Kirsten for taking such good care of Prince.”
“Tyler is phenomenal! This is the second time he has watched my parent's dog, and the first time he watched my dog. He takes dogs on walks, plays with them, and is always giving you updates via text. The dogs came home very happy and you can tell they were taken care of. Highly recommended and will absolutely call him again in the future.”
“Jes and her husband took exceptional care of my two dogs while I was away. They truly went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Jes kept me updated with plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and was attentive to their individual needs, making sure they received the best possible care. I could tell my dogs were loved and treated like family.”
“Courtney was terrific! I would definitely recommend using her to watch your pup! My plans had changed several times and she was very understanding … will use her again!”

“Sawsan is the best! She calmed my nerves about leaving my puppy for the first time. She’s very attentive and just wants all the animals in her care to have fun play time outside and have someone watching over them instead of being left alone in a kennel. Always got plenty of pictures and videos!”

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!!”
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.
“Lindsay is an amazing sitter! Sampson was with her for 4 nights! She sent pictures every day! It felt so refreshing knowing that he was treated so well and loved! We will use her again in a heartbeat!”
“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!!”
“Bobbi is a wonderful young lady and she and her mother took great care of my senior dog. She is knowledgable about separation anxiety and made sure to keep my old baby calm. She texted me daily with a photo and updates. This greatly helped my separation anxiety.😊 I would recommend Bobbi to anyone that needs to board their dog.”
“Ms. Karen is a super sitter, my dog is special because I think she has social issues. I know she gave Ms. Karen a difficult time, but Ms. Karen was patient and caring . She stuck with Lola and carried the mission through. She's a real trooper. I really appreciate her kindness and patience. I would recommend her , Ms. Karen to everyone. She is the best!”
About: I enjoy taking care of dogs as I am unable to have a dog of my own due to work travel. I enjoy taking them for walks and runs if they are up for it! I currently travel for work, but home long for stretches to care for your doggie when needed. When I'm home, I'm available the entire day. I have a big front yard and fenced in backyard with a spacious back patio. Lots of room to play and run. If your dog requires a crate, I have the room for that as well.
