âVery thorough when I dropped my dog off Reported back to me the details of his day seemed very capable. Finn was very relaxed and seemed perfectly adjusted in a situation where he normally would be very upset. I pup has severe anxiety separation, but he did great.â

âJudy and Rosie are awesome! Our Nala had the best time with Judy, Rosie and her family! Judy sent us pictures and updates gave our Nala plenty of walks, outside run time, and family love! So grateful not to worry about our pup while we were away. We would definitely book with Judy again!â


âDee was great with our dog, Shiloh, while we were across the country for over a week. We received pictures showing her with all of her happiest body language and were told that Shiloh and Dee's dog got along like best friends. We will definitely ask Dee to watch Shiloh again.â

âHave used Emily once again and couldnât be more happy with her updates and photos of Forest while I was traveling. Highly recommend her services if you need any kind of pet sitting.â


âWe couldnât have been happier with Jadaâs stay at Luizâs house! They sent pictures and videos showing how well she was doing. We were sad to leave her, but she was in such great hands. Jada made lots of friends, and was very exhausted when we took her home. We will definitely be reaching out to Luiz again next time we need a dog sitter!â

âWas very communicative and great with my dog. Took blue on multiple runs and hour long walks, which really helps her when sheâs feeling anxious away from home. Would definitely recommend.â


âTracy was so sweet, very responsive, and you could tell she loves animals. She sent updates with pictures regularly and o could see he was so cared for. My dog Kanan came home a very happy pup! Thank you again Tracy!â

About: I've been a vet tech for over 20 years. I've taken care of animals small to large my whole life. Working in a veterinary setting gives me the unique ability to size up a situation within seconds. I have a keen sense when something is off in an animal and also have an ability to create a comforting, fun, inviting environment for every animal I meet. I'm a mom of 2 beautiful humans so my free time is limited to school hours this time of my life. I love getting outdoors so dog walks are a favorite and I love providing TLC to animals in their homes while their parents are at work. I can tend to your pets in the comfort of their home or they can come to me to romp around my fenced in yard with my 2 well behaved dogs. I have two cats so dogs would need to be cat- safe. Happy to discuss personalized options for care!
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by them and have always loved caring for them. For the past 3 years, Iâve worked full-time with dogs, and I truly treat every pup like my own!! I currently work with a pet care company in another city, and Iâm now looking to meet new local clients and pups! Feel free to reach outâIâd love to connect! I live in a home with a large, fully fenced yard and a park nearby, giving pups plenty of space to play and explore. Iâm happy to use a crate if preferred, and when your pup stays with me, my home becomes their home too!
About: I've owned and cared for animals since high school. In addition to dogs and cats, I've owned horses since I was 16. I have been\am a foster parent for the Animal Rescue League of Boston since 2020. I'm a former puppy foster for service dogs and participated with early puppy training. I have carried those skills over to training other foster puppies and my personal dog. I have a medical background (EMT) and my daughter is a Vet Tech so I am very comfortable working with animals with medical needs and will follow any required medical plan. In addition to dogs and cats, I'd love to meet\care for your backyard farm animals; horses, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, etc. I have experience with some of these animals through ownership and fostering opportunities. I'm open to meeting and learning about new friends. We currently have 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 horses in our home. All our animals are our babies and I'll care for yours as if they were my own. I'm currently working 6:30am-12pm, M-F. I'm available for drop-in visits any day of the week, after 1pm and on the weekends. I can house sit during the week as long as your pet doesn't mind an early morning! đ. Boarding in my home is restricted to cats or other small animals. Puppies (under 1 year) may be accomodated, no adult dogs. For cats; we have a dedicated "cat room" to keep your pet separated from our pets. The room has a screen door so they don't feel locked away and can be part of our household while remaining safe. I will follow your pet care plan while in your home. For Puppies; all dogs are fed separately to avoid food aggression situations. All puppies will be crated for meals and sleeping overnight. If your puppy is not crate trained, I will work with them to ensure they are comfortable and not afraid. I can support your potty training schedule to maintain consistency.

About: Iâve always grown up with dogs, but now that Iâve moved out, I donât have one. I love having a furry friend to spend time with and play with. Besides taking care of my own pets, Iâve also had experience caring for my elderly grandparents and working with children for over seven years. I always prioritize my petâs needs. If my pet eats at 6 am, Iâm up and feeding it at 6 am. I also like to let my pet out every 2-3 hours, especially when it first wakes up or after eating. I enjoy going on walks, and thereâs a rail trail nearby. Cuddles are everything. If this pet wants me to love on them I will be super cuddly. I want to make them feel as at home as possible.
About: Hi! My name is Amanda, and I have 18 years of pet care experience. I have had pleasure of owning three dogs over the course of my adult life. I currently have a senior dog named Benson and this Summer my family and I adopted a pup named Nash. I use to foster dogs and cats throughout college and several friends and family have relied on me to care for their four-legged family member(s) over the years. I have experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors and I am certified in Pet First Aid/CPR through the American Red Cross. Im currently working from home and have a flexible schedule, so I have a great amount of time to spend with your dog(s) in my home and take them out throughout the day. My husband Martin will also join me on walks/trails at times when he is home in the evening and weekends. I offer in-home boarding. Provide daily walks around the neighborhood and walking trails in the area. Dog treats are also provided, unless declined by dog owner. All dogs boarding must be crate trained for nightly sleep for their safety and the safety of other dogs.
âAlberta watched our 2 bunnies for a weekend and we were so lucky to have found her! She definitely knows her stuff/how to take care of small animals and their unique needs and personalities. She sent us photo updates of them, which was great! It was so nice to have peace of mind on our trip, knowing our buns were in great hands. Everything was packed up and ready to go at the set pick up time. I would highly recommend her for any small pet! Thank you!!!â

âAmanda was so communicative while Stelly was in her care. She provided photos and updates every day. It was clear that Stelly enjoyed her stay and felt very comfortable and welcome with Amanda and her family! I would absolutely rebook!â


âJessica and her family were amazing caretakers for our 6 month-old Golden Retriever, Ollie! During his stay, Jessica sent me continual updates, photos and videos of Ollie enjoying walks, playing with her own dogs, watching Sunday football, and having the best time! I would highly recommend Jessica and look forward to Ollie staying with her again soon!!â

âI highly recommend Erica. She was able to watch our 16 year old Polly at a last minute booking. She sent me updates and pictures everyday. Polly is old and does not like being alone and she came home happy. Thank you Erica for taking such good care of our baby.â

âColin did a great job giving lots of updates in words, pictures, and videos. He was very responsible and descriptive and clean. Definitely would recommend! Was gone for over two weeks and he helped take care of our cat and even took out our trash cans on collection days. Gave lots of treats and play as well as food. Very easy to work with and always upbeat and funny.â

âKatharine did an amazing job with our animals while we were gone. Our one cat has a severe heart condition that requires him to get 3 meds a day. Katharine did it with ease and took all our suggestions from how to catch the clever cat who knows how to dodge his medicine time to the easiest way we can administer his meds. We've had caregivers unsuccessful but Katharine came in with a plan each day and accomplished it which we are so grateful for. She also picked up our mail and knew to keep an eye out for a reptile food order for our leopard geckos that ended up not arriving but her willingness to go above and beyond for our critters was such a relief being away. She also sent us detailed photos of not only the cats and geckos but the food and water status for each which is another peace of mind for us being away too. We know our pets are cared well for while we are gone. Thank you Katharine!!! We hope youre available whenever we are away!â


About: I've been a cat person since I was very little. My first cats came to me in first grade, and I have always made sure to have them myself ever since. I have two purr-babies myself, and they are registered as my emotional support animals, so I know how important our feline friends are to a family. I am capable of administering meds if necessary, and will happily provide lots of photos of your little biscuit-maker while you are away. Rest assured, your kitty will be cared for while you are away.

âThis was our second time having Amy sit with Bela and George. She takes such good care of them and makes sure they have lots of play time and get lots of brushing! They love the attention !â

âColleen has been great with Kira for multiple visits. Kira has significant medical issues right now and Colleen has worked well around those issues. She is very easy to communicate with and gives good feedback from the visit.â

âBonnie took excellent care of my cat. She was happy & playful when I got home from my trip and I attribute that to Bonnie's skill and natural ease with animals. Sarsaparilla is a good girl, but can get over stimulated and feisty at times. Bonnie was thorough in her notes on her daily visits and I felt at ease knowing Sarsaparilla was being well cared for.â


âDonna was very good with my cats as far as I can tell. She kept me updated on how my cats were doing, which can be hard since they are both shy and donât usually come out for people.â


âElizabeth was wonderful, kind, reliable, and very responsive. She was available on short notice, which was a huge help for us. She took great care of not only our cat, Nuggets, but also our 4 chickens! We felt completely at ease knowing our babies were in such good hands. We were so happy with her care that we have already hired her again for our next vacation. Highly recommend!â

âBlaise was great with our cat, Beefaroni. Blaise was always on time, stayed for the whole 30 minutes and gave us cute pictures and nice updates. We felt very secure leaving Beefy with Blaise and knew he was in good hands. So glad we got to work with him and that he took such good care of our special boy. We would happily book again.â

About: Iâm more experienced with cats, and I love to be around them. I typically care for my girlfriendâs cat when sheâs traveling. Ranging from days-months. I have also babysat other cats. Iâve gone to kitty cafes in my free time. And overall just enjoy their company. I love both a chill kitty or an energetic kitty. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and clean litter boxes, or hairballs.

âMy cats were well cared for while we were gone. Dee had good open communication with us while caring for our cats, she asked questions if something wasn't clear and was very honest with us about everything. Thank you Dee!â

About: I'm a lifelong dog and cat owner who treats every animal like family. I build strong bonds with dogs through communication, patience, and positive reinforcement. I enjoy basic training, teaching tricks, playing, walks, and giving dogs the attention and companionship they deserve. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm looking for side work taking care of people's pets along side my loveable Labrador. I'm available for walks, car rides, pet sitting and pet check-ins. I care for pets with patience, attention, and genuine affection. I follow each petâs routine and the ownerâs instructions closely, including feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I take time to understand each petâs personality and comfort level rather than treating every dog the same. I provide plenty of companionship, positive reinforcement, exercise, and mental stimulation while making sure they are safe and comfortable in their own home or mine. Most importantly, I want every pet to feel like part of the family while theyâre in my care.
âPriscilla was awesome with our three kitties. Two of them are very skittish with strangers and she got one of them to warm up to her to the point where he allowed her to pat him. She asked for various tips to make the cats comfortable with her. We would definitely ask her to come back!â

âDan has been awesome with the pups! He was very responsive and flexible for the initial meet and greet and has been responsive to all drop in requests since, including the last minute ones! He goes out of his way to make sure our timid dog is comfortable and that both dogs get lots of attention.â

âKourtney was so incredibly kind and helpful with taking our Nellie girl last minute. She immediately made Nellie feel welcomed and safe, introduced her slowly to the other furry friends, and eased my worried heart by sending updates and photos regularly. We are so grateful to have found Kourtney and are looking forward to working with her again in the future!â


âTracy is wonderful. She is building a relationship with our dog, Riley. We hope to try an overnight booking soon. Tracy keeps Riley relaxed by letting him follow her around the house and by taking him for walks. Riley was excited to see Tracy this time, greeting her with his play bow. We are very happy that we found Tracy. She is just the right caregiver for Riley.â


About: Hi all! I have lots of experience walking and caring for dogs/pups and cats. My very first pup was a chihuahua at around age 5. Since then my love for animals grew. I've had several Siamese cats, aquatic fish and dogs growing up. I've walked and cared for many different pups around town (just about all breeds) and I can assure your furry friend is in good hands. In our house I have a 13 year old son, a 2 year old daughter, three turtles, bearded dragon and several fish. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I can provide you with several references, past employer and client related. I can also pick up/drop off to make things easier. Thank you!

âMy dog had the most amazing time here! Luiz is so good with dogs and my William felt right at home. He sent many pictures and videos. I havenât seen my dog so happy since his sister pup passed. So thankful to Luiz and his family.â

âAdrielle was super friendly and kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and videos of our pup. Our pup had a fantastic time, and we were so pleased she was well taken care of. I would definitely have Adrielle watch our dog again!â

âThis is our second time using Michael. He is a WONDERFUL host! His house and yard are so clean and neat. He spends time with my dog and my dog is happy to arrive and see Michael.

We are so appreciative that he was able to hangout with her dogs, roam around the yard, and have a nap time buddy! Jacky was great with food, walks, communication. We are so appreciative to have found her!!â

About: I have 14+ years experience in the veterinary field. Learning about animal behaviors, preventative care and physical health is a passion of mine. I am a very well rounded animal enthusiast that loves to stay busy. Some of my extracurriculars include training my Australian shepherd, whether itâs dock diving, agility or overall obedience. I will hold each pet to standards that support good manners, so some training may be associated with my services. I strive to exercise your fur babies intellectually as well as physically. I am very detailed oriented, and consider myself very observant. Iâm not afraid to communicate and ask questions regarding your petsâ needs. I would be caring for your pet around my typical work schedule, which is M-F ~8-6pm, but I can always drop in mid day during lunch. Communicating your expectations so I may practice proper time management is important for a successful and stress free pet sitting job. I have a very well socialized 5yo male, 50lb, Australian shepherd, Oshie and he loves to play. Additionally I can provide walks, and play sessions. Hikes are also supported.

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 Iâm 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 youâre away. I live with my husband in a two-floor condo with its own backyard, and while it isnât fenced, Iâm 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.
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 25 years and truly believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to large breeds, as well as puppies, energetic adults, and senior dogs who require extra patience, medication, or special care. I'm naturally calm, dependable, and attentive to each pet's individual personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship, I adapt my care to what makes them happiest. My goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while you're away. As someone who works for myself, I have the flexibility to provide reliable daytime care and give each visit my full attention. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands. I treat every pet as if they were one of my own. I work for myself, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable, personalized care for your pets. I'm available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, medication, and companionship. I always do my best to be punctual, reliable, and accommodate your pet's routine. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I believe pets feel most secure when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and any special needs. I'll care for your home with the same respect I would my own, provide regular updates with photos, and treat every pet like a member of my own family.

He is contentious, dedicated, and loving to all the people and pets he comes into contact with. I highly recommend his services and happily look forward to working with him again in the future." - Nicole E. "Kae dogsits for me when I go away on business trips or go into Boston for the weekend, and I could not recommend him more highly! He is caring and attentive to my dog; my dog gets so excited to see him. My dog is medium to high energy and Kae always tires her out. He is extremely knowledgable about dogs and dog behavior and has given me several tools to help keep my dog more mentally engaged and less stressed. Kae is punctual, he remembers all sorts of details about every dog, and he is my go-to whenever I need someone. Best dog sitter/walker in the Providence area!" - Kate R. I have worked with a doggy daycare, where I learnt dog behavior, and positive reinforcement training. I have worked in home pet sitting for dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, tortoises, geckos, bearded lizards, salt and fresh water fish, for over a decade. Schedule a meet and greet with your pets! LGBTQIA+ friendly, Disability and Sensory Friendly I have kept strange hours for a very long time. I can fit your furry (or scaly or feathered) family into my schedule without issue. As a pet service professional, I like to make sure your pet is well attended to, and you feel as safe and comfortable as they do. I enjoy waking up to walk a client's dog, or making sure your cat feels safe before it's time to turn the lights off. You can rest assured while I am with your pets that they will be well attended to. A typical visit includes 15-20 minutes of play with your pet depending on energy levels, lots of positive attention and love, feeding and making sure they have access to water and making sure any business is done. As an overnight visitor, often for pets with anxiety or special needs/senior pets, I am with your pet in your home from 10pm-8am, plus visits during any of their usual scheduled feedings. As a dog walker, you can expect me to arrive and provide a full 30 minute walk to your pet. If you book through rover, you can also get a map of the walk we did, how long it took, and I provide pictures along the way. When it's time to go home, I make sure they and your home are safe and secure.

About: I have over 20 years of personal experience with my own cats and dogs, and about 6 years of doggy daycare experience. From pack leader to poop scooper, I enjoy it all :) I was recently laid off from work and now have plenty of time to do what I love! I would like to keep my hours around 6am - 8pm, but am willing to be more flexible if you need. Safety is always a priority. Before deciding to take care of your animal, I make sure we can work together with respect, from both sides. That way, we can build trust and have a stressless, safe time together.

âI just met Matt this year and he has been such a great support ! I work really long hours and was hesitant about finding a dog sitter as my dog is really selective with men. From one meet and greet my dog was comfortable with Matt & was friendly right away! Matt has been consistent and is extremely reliable & follows instructions! He makes sure remy is exhausted by the time heâs done and he also makes sure to give her her water breaks while on walks! Iâm definitely sticking with Mat as a dog sitter. đŤśđź thank you for being there for my sweet girl !â

About: Iâve typically only cared for friends pets (cats & dogs) my role was feeding, playing (included filming some tiktoks & take selfies), taking the dogs out to potty, and putting them in their crate for bedtime. Iâm always down to learn more so I can be a better fit in your dogâs life. Iâm an introvert but animals bring out my fun side. This is currently my stream of income, and I donât start my classes until November so my time is pretty flexible at the moment. We can always communicate and build a schedule together, but Iâm always down to spend time with your pups! I work very well with direct directions. Doâs and Dontâs are very important to me (ex: if thereâs something your pet doesnât like/or does, any type of aggression, routines, etc..). Anything that can help me create a great relationship with your pet and you! I want them to feel safe with me, and I want you to be able to trust me while I care for them. I love playing with dogs & cats but I also know to respect their space when they need it. I will always clean up after your pet if needed (any accidents in the house or outside). A safe, healthy, and fun environment is what I try to create.
About: I have been a lover and caretaker for animals since I was young. I foster puppyâs often and love it. Having the opportunity to train and prep them to find their forever homes is so special to me. From potty training, to obedience training and everything in between as a start to giving them their best lives! Through Fostering, I have learned how to connect with dogs on a different level. I would love to have the opportunity to walk, connect and take care of your animals as needed. I work part time and I have plenty of time to do drop ins or take your pups on a nice walk. Around the neighborhood or a few miles in the woods. What ever matches their energy. I treat every animal I care for like they are my own, keeping them safe and loved while they are in my care. â¤ď¸ â¤ď¸

âWe have been working with Blaise for a few weeks now, and we are so happy we found him! He is flexible, reliable, professional, affordable, and extremely punctual. He is highly communicative and easy to get ahold of. He is always flexible with any last minute changes, and he always arrives exactly when he says he will. We are so glad we found someone who we can trust so highly, and who our dog loves so much! Our dog is our baby and we know he is safe and happy with Blaise. If you are looking for a dog walker, look no further than Blaise!â


About: I'm a lifelong dog and cat owner who treats every animal like family. I build strong bonds with dogs through communication, patience, and positive reinforcement. I enjoy basic training, teaching tricks, playing, walks, and giving dogs the attention and companionship they deserve. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm looking for side work taking care of people's pets along side my loveable Labrador. I'm available for walks, car rides, pet sitting and pet check-ins. I care for pets with patience, attention, and genuine affection. I follow each petâs routine and the ownerâs instructions closely, including feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I take time to understand each petâs personality and comfort level rather than treating every dog the same. I provide plenty of companionship, positive reinforcement, exercise, and mental stimulation while making sure they are safe and comfortable in their own home or mine. Most importantly, I want every pet to feel like part of the family while theyâre in my care.
âBonnie did a great job introducing our new puppy to the neighborhood. She fed, watered, and walked him each day, right on time. I love the pics! They helped put this new fur mama's mind at ease. We look forward to the next vacation week to hire Bonnie again.â


About: Iâve been caring for dogs and other pets for over 13 years, starting at a young age with my own family pets and continuing through friends, neighbors, and relatives who trusted me with their animals. I have experience with cats, rabbits, puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, including feeding routines, daily walks, bathing, administering basic medications, and providing calm companionship. Iâm patient, observant, and very attentive to each petâs personality, energy level, and comfort needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, emotional well-being, and routine. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Iâm able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays while ensuring pets are never rushed or left alone for long periods. I enjoy building my day around an animalâs needs rather than fitting them into a rigid routine. I prioritize a calm, safe, and structured environment at all times. I carefully follow any instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, and house rules. Iâm attentive on walks, respectful of leash safety, and mindful of each petâs comfort and boundaries. In a clientâs home, I keep the space clean, secure, and peaceful, and I always aim to maintain the petâs normal routine to reduce stress. Trust, communication, and gentle care are at the heart of how I look after every animal.
âJeffrey is amazing! He was on time, personable and professional. He was patient with my dog and now Finn runs right away to Jeffrey. Rover is lucky to have him! As are we!â

About: Hello! My name is Renee and I am a lifelong pet mom and current mom/trainer to an almost 2 year old Alaskan Husky! I understand that for as much work our four legged friends are often the most adored members of the family! I know how important it is keep your dog happy, healthy, and fufilled! I will treat your buddies as my own. I work a varied work schedule so pet care is something I purposely build to be as simple as possible.

This is no different caring for your pets. I will seek your guidance on what makes your pet comfortable and happy. After keeping them safe, that is my number one concern. Working together we can make sure your life with your best friends is as comfortable as possible for everyone!
âDan is great, everything you could want or ask for in a dog walker. He is punctual, friendly, and clearly an animal lover. Dan went above and beyond what was necessary. My only regret is Dan is moving and we wonât be able to hire him again. Those heâll be living near are very fortunate! Thank you again for everything Dan!â

âVery thorough when I dropped my dog off Reported back to me the details of his day seemed very capable. Finn was very relaxed and seemed perfectly adjusted in a situation where he normally would be very upset. I pup has severe anxiety separation, but he did great.â

âJudy and Rosie are awesome! Our Nala had the best time with Judy, Rosie and her family! Judy sent us pictures and updates gave our Nala plenty of walks, outside run time, and family love! So grateful not to worry about our pup while we were away. We would definitely book with Judy again!â

âAlways 5 Stars! Ghost loves to go spend time with Cesar and the family! He knows as soon as we turn down the road (that Michael's house is on) he's headed to visit his friends! Michael and his wife and family are so wonderful! Kind, friendly, caring and exceptional to work with. They've taken amazing care of Ghost for years! I am so appreciative of their service and commitment.â


âDee was great with our dog, Shiloh, while we were across the country for over a week. We received pictures showing her with all of her happiest body language and were told that Shiloh and Dee's dog got along like best friends. We will definitely ask Dee to watch Shiloh again.â

âHave used Emily once again and couldnât be more happy with her updates and photos of Forest while I was traveling. Highly recommend her services if you need any kind of pet sitting.â


âWe couldnât have been happier with Jadaâs stay at Luizâs house! They sent pictures and videos showing how well she was doing. We were sad to leave her, but she was in such great hands. Jada made lots of friends, and was very exhausted when we took her home. We will definitely be reaching out to Luiz again next time we need a dog sitter!â

âWas very communicative and great with my dog. Took blue on multiple runs and hour long walks, which really helps her when sheâs feeling anxious away from home. Would definitely recommend.â


âTracy was so sweet, very responsive, and you could tell she loves animals. She sent updates with pictures regularly and o could see he was so cared for. My dog Kanan came home a very happy pup! Thank you again Tracy!â

About: I've been a vet tech for over 20 years. I've taken care of animals small to large my whole life. Working in a veterinary setting gives me the unique ability to size up a situation within seconds. I have a keen sense when something is off in an animal and also have an ability to create a comforting, fun, inviting environment for every animal I meet. I'm a mom of 2 beautiful humans so my free time is limited to school hours this time of my life. I love getting outdoors so dog walks are a favorite and I love providing TLC to animals in their homes while their parents are at work. I can tend to your pets in the comfort of their home or they can come to me to romp around my fenced in yard with my 2 well behaved dogs. I have two cats so dogs would need to be cat- safe. Happy to discuss personalized options for care!
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by them and have always loved caring for them. For the past 3 years, Iâve worked full-time with dogs, and I truly treat every pup like my own!! I currently work with a pet care company in another city, and Iâm now looking to meet new local clients and pups! Feel free to reach outâIâd love to connect! I live in a home with a large, fully fenced yard and a park nearby, giving pups plenty of space to play and explore. Iâm happy to use a crate if preferred, and when your pup stays with me, my home becomes their home too!
âMelissa & Axel took amazing care of our golden retriever over a two night weekend stay. They sent us plenty of updates and we could tell that our dog loved the stay with their family.â

âMy dog Miko seems to have enjoyed his stay at Sara's place. He came back all relaxed, complete opposite experience of leaving him in a pet hotel where he came back agitated for many days. Sara's place is perfect with a big fenced garden so he could play freely with her dog and others. I can only recommend her.â


About: Iâve always grown up with dogs, but now that Iâve moved out, I donât have one. I love having a furry friend to spend time with and play with. Besides taking care of my own pets, Iâve also had experience caring for my elderly grandparents and working with children for over seven years. I always prioritize my petâs needs. If my pet eats at 6 am, Iâm up and feeding it at 6 am. I also like to let my pet out every 2-3 hours, especially when it first wakes up or after eating. I enjoy going on walks, and thereâs a rail trail nearby. Cuddles are everything. If this pet wants me to love on them I will be super cuddly. I want to make them feel as at home as possible.

I currently have a senior dog named Benson and this Summer my family and I adopted a pup named Nash. I use to foster dogs and cats throughout college and several friends and family have relied on me to care for their four-legged family member(s) over the years. I have experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors and I am certified in Pet First Aid/CPR through the American Red Cross. Im currently working from home and have a flexible schedule, so I have a great amount of time to spend with your dog(s) in my home and take them out throughout the day.

Provide daily walks around the neighborhood and walking trails in the area. Dog treats are also provided, unless declined by dog owner.
