My pup came home happy and i felt at easy the entire time. One less thing to worry about. I will rebook and i recommend you check her out if you need a dog sitter!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention my dog received from Christianna & Mary. From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in great hands. They were incredibly responsible and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout the day. My dog was calm, happy, and excited when I returned, which is a huge relief. I highly recommend Christianna & Mary to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter for their furry friend!”


“Melissa is awesome!! She cares for our pups as if they are her own and sends us updates throughout their whole stay. Love trusting her for our animals when we’re out of town!”
“When I picked up Jackson, I was not sure he wanted to leave his vacation with Kathryn and her wonderful family! Sure he was excited to see us, but, then he laid down next to Kathryn as if he was feeling pretty comfortable at her home! She sent photos and write ups daily and this made me feel so much better about leaving him in her care. It was like he knew the family forever! This was the first time we went away without him in 8 years so I was a bit anxious about leaving. I would have no problems leaving him again if I have another opportunity to do so. I highly recommend Kathryn and I know he was very happy being there and well cared for. He enjoyed his daily walks and never missed a meal and perhaps, Me!!!! If there were 10 stars I would click everyone of them!”

“Stephanie did a great job looking after our pug! We really appreciated the daily pictures and updates she sent us. It was clear she took extra special care of our dog, which gave us peace of mind while we were out of the country celebrating the holidays. Well worth the money. We wont hesitate to ask her to look after Archie again. Thanks, Stephanie!”

“Was very appreciative that Donna took Kodi at the last minute when her usual border wasn't available. She seems so pleasant. Kodi was fine. I will definitely use her again if necessary. I gave her a cash tip which I always do so that they can get full benefit of it.”

About: Hello I am Maura! I grew up in a very large family and we always had a dog. I have had four dogs of my own. I have done pet sitting and fostering for families, friends and a dog rescue organization. My husband and I are passionate dog lovers with 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I'm reliable, responsible, and dedicated to providing a safe and loving environment for your furry family member. I’ve always been drawn to dogs and spent years volunteering for a dog rescue organization where I gained valuable experience in caring for dogs with a variety of needs.

I offer in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-ins, and I'm happy to administer medication, provide playtime, and ensure your dog's comfort and well-being. I have a strong understanding of dog behavior and am happy to provide personalized care based on your dog's individual needs. My hasband and I are both home every day.

I am open minded and will listen carefully to any specific instructions provided to me for your furry friend.

“Caitlin was fantastic! I wanted to meet with her prior to booking so she could meet Ben and she came twice to do that. Ben is very timid and in foster care with me to hopefully stay. Caitlin was patient with Ben and she made him comfortable! He hid the first 2 days and then just wanted her attention and love. She gave it to him. My home was just like I left it and Ben was well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend Caitlin.”

About: I have taken care of animals for over a year now at a dog daycare/boarding centre in a variety of different circumstances. From Mastiff’s to Chihuahuas, I am confident taking care of various different sized dogs with a variety of different dietary needs from raw diets to kibble diets, medical needs from dogs that get medication once a day to dogs that get medication several times a day, and activity needs from dogs that need regular exercise to senior dogs that don’t need to be exercised. I have also had experience handling dogs that are extremely nervous around new people, dogs that can resource guard toys, and dogs that are highly reactive. I am a full-time commuter college student with large gaps between my morning and afternoon classes which I can travel to and from the owners house to let their dogs out and play with during. The only time that I am unable to stop by the house between classes is on Thursdays where I will be gone from 8 am to 2 pm due to my in-person lab course. I only offer services at my clients house so as of not to subject the pet to unnecessary stress from being in a new environment. I can administer any medication that is not via injection, I can cater to a variety of diets ranging from raw meat every day to freshly cooked food three times a day to kibble twice a day depending on the dogs needs, I have personal leashes that I can use or I can use the owners leashes to take the dog on walks as often as request/needed.

We appreciate all your help and the peace of mind you gave us while we’re away. 🙏”

About: Hi! I’m Haley, a stay at home mom and lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family not just animals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, so you can enjoy your time knowing they’re in caring hands. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a family that rescued animals, and my mom has worked in the veterinary field her entire career. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom to my three little ones, I spent years working in animal hospitals, where I gained experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. That background taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when it comes to caring for animals. At home, we have three playful kittens and a friendly dog, so your pet will be staying with someone who truly understands their needs. We also have a large backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and get plenty of exercise. I know every pet is different, which is why I do my best to stick to their normal routine. Whether that means feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, walks, cuddle time, or simply giving them space to relax! I’ll care for your pet the way you do at home. I believe keeping their routine as consistent as possible helps reduce stress and makes them feel comfortable. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and updates while you’re away so you always know they’re happy and well cared for. I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your furry family member, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d be honored to care for your pet and provide them with a safe, loving home away from home. I am currently a stay at home mom to four children, I am available almost 24/7 to be able to care for your pet, and have a very flexible schedule I have a decent sized yard, it is not fenced in but your pet will never be left unsupervised outside. I am a firm believer that pets are family and will be treated as such. There is no limitations on where your pet will be allowed to go in my home. They want to jump up on the couch for some snuggles? Go right ahead. Feel more comfortable at night in my room? Come right on in. The way your pet is cared for at your home is how they will be treated here.

About: I have over 30 years experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I will treat your furry family members as if they are my own beloved grandchildren. I’m currently working part time, so my availability is flexible. I can care for your pets in thier home environment. I have reliable transportation . I also have years of experience with cats, snakes, lizards, a wide variety of other fluffy family members, (limited experience with birds). Please just reach out to me.

About: I am an animal lover who has taken care of my own as well as friends and families pets for years. My family has cared for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, snakes, frogs, geckos, chinchillas. I am a stay at home mom, so my time is very flexible. I am able to keep pets to their daily schedules and routines. My property is ideal for a doggy vacay, we have a newly fenced in valley, a forest to explore, 2 dogs companions (can keep separate upon request), lots of squirrels to chase, and plenty to love to go around! I am able to provide an attentive home environment that a pet is used to.
“Sarah was so easy to work with, responsive, and friendly. She has a lovely home with a great yard. I appreciated her checking in with updates and pics, and could enjoy my trip knowing my pup was in such great care. Will definitely book again and highly recommended!”

“Tina was a fantastic sitter for our 10-year old pup! She is clearly a “dog person” at heart and set us at ease right away. Snowball settled in right away and acted confident and comfortable with Tina. She took him for walks and played with toys and sent us cute photos each day! It was evident Tina took excellent care of him! Tina was also quick to respond and communicated well throughout our booking. Will definitely book with Tina again!”

“Liz always takes wonderful care of our dog. She provides plenty of updates and is confident in providing the care our dog needs. I’ve never worried about how our dog is when she’s with Liz.”

“Ashley did a fantastic job dog sitting Emma for me! Ashley was extremely professional and made sure to give me updates daily, including pictures of Emma. Ashley was happy to fulfill Emma’s daily routines as well as some extra care and attention. Thank you, Ashley!”

“Thanks for being such a great care giver to Daisy!! I'm not sure she's ever been as happy when we're not around. I'm so glad we found you!! And, thanks to the kids for keeping her happy!! I can tell she really loved them!!”

“I’m happy that I left my dog with Yiqiuxi and Lee. She did so good with them and didn’t have any anxiety. They sent pictures and gave me updates on how she was doing every day. I will definitely use their services the next time I go away.”

“Bella had a great stay and wanted to stay longer! Tara and her family are very sweet and accommodating. Tara sent photos and updates about Bella throughout her stay as we requested.”

“My Luke and Zoey were very well taken care of. I have been looking for a new dog sitter and I have found one in Tanita and Terrance. Great couple and my dogs were comfy at their home.”


“Kelly is so friendly and cooperative! She is great with the dogs. She clearly loves them all. She took wonderful care of my rambunctious dog. My dog was clearly loving her care. She ran back to the house as we were trying to load her up!! I will definitely rebook with Kelly in the future.”

“Echo enjoyed her stay with Lilian, Sebastian, and Koa and Maui! Lili made sure to give us updates throughout the day of Echo’s progress with feeding/potty and fun so we were never left wondering about how Echo was doing. We highly recommend Lili, and will definitely reschedule with her again!”
