“Recently we lost one of our two dogs. We had a trip planned for only a couple weeks later and had to board our second dog alone for the first time.

“Matt provided excellent care for my Maine Coon kitten over the July 4th weekend.

Ella was given her own room, but also had opportunity to get to know Xiaoxue's pets...from photos and updates, and Ella's good health after two weeks with Xiaoxue, it's obvious she was showered with love. I am so grateful.”

“Normally, when we pick Yoda from a day care or boarding he will express his unhappiness by barking at us trying to tell us he didn’t like it there. But when we picked him up from your place he was all happy and no barks very calm, it tells us he had a good time with you. Thank you for taking good care of him.”

“My dog Havi spent a day with Anastasia and it was a great experience! Anastasia had positive energy and did a great job with Havi on her first day at doggy day care. Also Anastasia communicates promptly and she sent me many pictures!”
About: My journey with animals did not start as a job. It began when I was 10 years old and welcomed my first cat into my life. Since then, animals have always been part of my world. I also grew up with a beloved Shih Tzu who was part of our family for 16 wonderful years and taught me what patient, devoted, long-term care truly looks like. Over the years, I have gained hands-on pet-sitting experience with many different animals and breeds, from energetic Golden Retrievers to Maine Coons, playful kittens, and small companion dogs. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. I live with my husband in a two-floor apartment with hardwood floors and no carpets. I am happy to lift and carry pets on the stairs when needed, as long as they are comfortable being picked up. No matter the age, breed, or temperament, your pet will be treated with patience, attention, and care, just like part of the family. Pet care fits into my routine really easily because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give all the needed attention to your pet throughout the day. That means plenty of walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and just being around so they feel cared for and not left alone for too long. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and cats, keeping them active, entertained, and comfortable, and making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I live with my husband in a two-floor condo with its own backyard, and while it isn’t fenced, I’m very mindful of safety and always keep dogs secure when they're outside. The area around us has plenty of green space, which makes walks much more enjoyable and gives dogs lots of room to explore, sniff, and play.
“Emma was great! Prompt, communicative, and obviously cares for my pet as if she were her own. We needed a doggy daycare for our 11 week old aussiedoodle and Emma was more than capable to care for our pup. Also has a fenced in back yard, which I know my pup enjoyed. Thank you Emma! I appreciate you!!!”
“Elaine was an outstanding host for our dog, Lucy! This was Lucy’s first week in doggy day care since we adopted her and we were anxious about she’d cope with the separation. We could tell that with each day, Lucy grew more and more comfortable with Elaine and the environment and even made some new friends along the way. We would highly recommend Elaine.”
“Cindy is so attentive to all the dogs that she cares for, there is great outdoor space for them to play, a lovely screened in porch and inside her home by her side to rest. I trust her and her two pups are so good with all doggie guests! So glad I found her, Daisy and Gummy!”
“Nancy has been a fantastic caregiver for my dog! Her communication is thorough, she sends me pictures throughout the day, and she has been really wonderful about all of my pet’s medical needs. She feels like a real partner! A+ for Nancy!”
“Maeve took excellent care of our puppy, Barnaby. It was his first time with a sitter, and first time meeting another dog, and Maeve made it so easy. She communicated with me promptly, sent photos, and Barnaby loved being with her. 100% recommend.”
“Barry was excellent and he took care of Meshki well beyond the expectations. Every night Meshki came back home exhausted from all the walk and fun time he had with Barry and his dog. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you for everything you did for Meshki.”
“Joanne has watched my dogs many times and is very dedicated to their care. Her whole living space is made with dogs in mind and she is very attentive to their needs. I have been using her services for years.”
“Merry was wonderful with our Jackson! She was kind, responsive, and very friendly. The icing on the cake were her two sweet and adorable dogs :) We look forward to trusting her with our dog again in the future!”

“Ben has been taking excellent care of my puppy Dexter. He is only 9 weeks old and has a crazy amount of energy. He has been going in 2 times a day which is a lot! He always quickly responds when I reach out to him. I love the pics he sends because Dexter looks super happy. Thank you Ben!”
“Susannah comes to our house twice a week to take our dog out for a stroll. She is very reliable, comes on time and is very responsive. Would recommend her to a friend.”
“Pilar has been so helpful. She is always very responsive and available. She has been wonderful with Baxter. There was a time when she was walking him and he heard shooting range and panicked. Instead of bringing him right back inside without a walk she sat with him and calmed him down and then was able to get him to walk again. He is clearly comfortable with her and enjoys his time with her!”
“Emily was awesome - she took our pups on nice long walks daily and gave them lots of love. She was on time each day and sent us great pictures of our pups - we really appreciated this!!”
About: I’ve been in the animal care field since 2022 and have done a little bit of just about everything! Food and Supply sales, assistant grooming, dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits. In addition, I'm currently pursuing my associate's degree in animal care and have a wonderful 1-year-old lab/pitbull mix named Judy! I’m currently working part time as a dog walker, so my availability will be weekdays after 4PM until 10PM, and 8AM to 6PM on weekends (weekend sittings are available for full days on Sat/Sun) My yard unfortunately isn’t fenced in, so I always make sure my dogs are leashed and are wearing their collars with AirTags just in case. I don’t board dogs at my house due to the yard having no fence. When walking other dogs I always double clip their leash to their harness and collar.
About: Adopting Benny, our now 6-year-old Australian Shepherd mix, has been one of the most meaningful and rewarding experiences of our lives. He came to us as a rescue, full of potential but also in need of patience, consistency, and care. Australian Shepherds are known for their intelligence, energy, and sensitivity—and Benny is no exception. From daily walks and mental stimulation to routine training and lots of affection, caring for him has been a constant, joyful commitment. He thrives on structure and attention, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to watch him grow more confident and connected as the years go by. Benny has taught us so much about resilience, communication, and the powerful bond that forms between a pet and their family. He’s not just a pet—he’s truly part of our family. Pet care is a daily routine for me. I'm the one who feeds, brushes, spends time with Benny and walks him on a daily basis. I provide nothing but the best for Benny. He gets toppers on his food, supplements, daily attention and walks. I'am trustworthy, reliable and will treat your animals as if they were my own.

I have experience with animals of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs! I promise to show your fur babies so much love and care, and to always treat them like my own. I currently have a part time job. This gives me a lot of flexibility and free time in my schedule. I am available most days of the week and on occasion the weekends. I will pay close attention to any and all needs of your dogs! Let me know and I will make sure to do it. I can easily crate your dog, feed/walk them at specific times, give them medicine, etc if needed.
“Ivan is an excellent dog sitter. He obviously loves dogs and he was attentive, calm, and thoughtful in his care. This was my first time using a dog sitter for taking my dog for walks, and I couldn't have gotten luckier in choosing Ivan to take my dog to the park and care obout my pet. Ivan takes the responsibility seriously and understands my dog behavior rather than treating it as a checklist. My dog usually has the anxieties. Ivan found the way to calm my dog and communicate with wonderful care. After couple walks withIvan my dog is very excited, waiting for Ivan to come and go to the park. Ivan isd professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout. I felt confident leaving my dog in his care and would not hesitate to book Ivan again. I am highly recommend Ivan service.”
About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since the day I was born! I grew up with a mini poodle named Whoopi (named after my fav actor, Whoopi Goldberg, of course!) and an adorably feisty orange cat named Rainbow. I’m currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule, so I can meet all pet care needs. My house has a partially fenced backyard and lots of beautiful local trails for taking long walks. I’m an endurance athlete so you can count on me to go the distance to take good care of your fur child(ren). I have space to crate dogs in my home, if needed, and they are welcome on my couch. My kids are 13 and 8 and my 3 year old cat Taco is friendly. I look forward to meeting your fur baby (and you) soon! My communication style is clear and straightforward. You can count on me to diligently care for your fur baby! When you get them back, you’ll be thrilled about how well-cared for and happy they are.
“Our dogs were in great hands with Rachel walking them! Communication was easy and we appreciated her flexibility with minor adjustments to the schedule. Our dogs look forward to seeing her again!”

“I was very pleased with Sarah’s care of Brandy when she stayed with her this past weekend. Sarah was great about updating me and sending pictures. Her house is very dog friendly and there are lots of toys that her pup shares with guests. Brandy enjoyed her stay, and although she was happy to see me, was not showing any of the anxiety I sometimes see when we are separated for a while, so I know she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for in my absence. I would highly recommend Sarah as a sitter and plan to have her watch Brandy again soon!”
“Was very communicative and great with my dog. Took blue on multiple runs and hour long walks, which really helps her when she’s feeling anxious away from home. Would definitely recommend.”
