Nikki is absolutely amazing. My dog is very nervous around people, she did not rush him. Initially, I reached out to have her handle some dinners a couple of times a year but then I had an unexpected death in the family that required me to go out of town for seven days. She was wonderful working around my schedule. We received multiple updates showing how happy he is hanging with her family and dogs. This meant the world to us knowing he was is such good hands.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lindsay was absolutely amazing with my dog, Duke! From the very beginning, she was professional, responsive, and attentive to all of my questions, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Throughout Duke’s stay, she kept me updated daily with pictures and videos, and I could clearly see how happy and well cared for he was. That level of communication meant so much and truly set her apart. It’s not easy leaving your fur baby with someone, but Lindsay made the entire experience smooth and stress free. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dogsitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Duke! 🐾

From the moment we connected, she was kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure my dog Beethoven felt comfortable and loved. She provided consistent updates, photos, and little notes that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog adored her — the calm energy, the patience, the playtime, and the snuggles. It was clear she treated him like her own. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a smooth, stress‑free experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Monica to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. She’s truly exceptional.

She does a great job at taking care of him and always gives us daily updates and pictures on how hes doing. We can tell that he loves staying with Stephanie and her family and it shows when he is so happy to see her when we drop him off. I recommend Stephanie to all of my friends incase they ever need someone to look after their pets.

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for about 10 years now, through my friends, family, neighbors and my own 2 puppies! I’m a college athlete who’s very active, so I’m happy to run/play and keep energetic dogs exercised while also making sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for! Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine, caring for my own two dogs! However, I’m a college student now, who lives an hour away from home, but I’m back for weekends and have plenty of free time to care for pets! I provide a safe, fun environment for pets. I have a fenced yard for running around outside, and two friendly dogs who would love to make friends! I closely supervise pets and will follow all instructions/special requests strictly from owners!

Faith has watched our Shiba Inus multiple times now, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She’s reliable, responsive, and truly great with our dogs—even administering medication to our elderly Shiba with no issues. Most recently, she helped us out while we were in the hospital for the birth of our son. We weren’t sure how many drop-ins we’d need or how long we’d be gone, but she was incredibly flexible and quick to respond. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in good hands.

Jessica was very responsible and extremely caring and hands-on with our senior cat (and hamster too). She did several check-ins a day and spent many overnights which requires a high level of trust and Jessica went above and beyond. She communicated constantly with updates, pictures and videos (seriously, top-notch communication) and she left our home in perfect condition. Our animals took right to her and I am grateful to have found someone so kind and committed.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, and cats have always held a special place in my heart. I offer reliable drop-in visits to make sure your cat stays comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or loves attention, I’ll care for them at their own pace and make sure they feel safe in their familiar environment. During every visit, I’ll provide fresh food and water, clean the litter box, play with them if they want to, give them affection (or respect their space), and make sure they’re happy and healthy. I’ll also send photo updates after each visit so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to treat every cat with the same patience, kindness, and care that I’d want for my own.

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.

Even though Michelle was 30 miles away from where we were staying, it was worth the travel to have a family so loving and attentive to Gus! Their home was perfect for Gus! Big wide open space to run, another friendly dog, Roscoe, to play with, and a dog-friendly home that met all his needs. If we are in this area again, we will definitely contact Michelle!!

Laura did a great job with Beau- we did our first doggy day care with her. She has 3 other dogs of her own- I think Beau enjoyed playing with some (all?) of them. She sent pictures and was very responsive and flexible with timing. I appreciated it!

About: I have grown up with dogs and now I have 3 of my own! I have a pug, and 2 basset hounds. I'm experienced in all size dogs. (I previously had 2 english mastiffs that crossed the rainbow bridge) I also have chickens and ducks. I worked at a retirement community for years.. so I'm understanding and kind towards our wiser elders who made need help with their furbabies. I'm a homemaker so I'm almost always available for your pet care needs. I'm available to sit and play with them to your hearts comfort. All 3 of my dogs are inside dogs who sleep in bed with me. 🤣 Furbabies are like children to me. I truly believe they have souls and they deserve all the love in the world.

I currently do online school and am home all the time because of that. This leaves a lot of quality time I can spend with your animals. I have a single dog at home that is very friendly to keep your doggies company. If you have specific needs for your animals then I will make sure to follow them no matter what.

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for about 10 years now, through my friends, family, neighbors and my own 2 puppies! I’m a college athlete who’s very active, so I’m happy to run/play and keep energetic dogs exercised while also making sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for! Pet care has always been a part of my daily routine, caring for my own two dogs! However, I’m a college student now, who lives an hour away from home, but I’m back for weekends and have plenty of free time to care for pets! I provide a safe, fun environment for pets. I have a fenced yard for running around outside, and two friendly dogs who would love to make friends! I closely supervise pets and will follow all instructions/special requests strictly from owners!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I've owned both dogs and cats over the years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all ages and personalities. I regularly care for my parents' three dogs—including an energetic puppy—multiple times each month, so I'm comfortable with everything from playtime and long walks to keeping routines consistent and providing plenty of attention. I'm also a mom of two kids who have grown up surrounded by animals and absolutely love them. We believe pets are family, and I understand how important it is to know they're in caring, trustworthy hands when you're away. I'm an active person who loves being outside, so if your pup enjoys walks, adventures, or simply getting out to explore, I'd love to have a furry friend join me. Whether your pet wants to play, cuddle, or just have someone dependable to keep them company, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to work from home, giving me the ability to provide pets with consistent attention throughout the day. Whether it's walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, or cuddles, I can easily adapt to your pet's routine and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I will treat your furry family member as if they were my own by following their normal routine, respecting your home, and providing plenty of love, exercise, and attention. I also have a ton of land that your pet would love exploring with me! I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands.

About: I’m a pet parent to 4 dogs of various sizes and 1 cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for animals with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I have 13 years of experience working with pets of all ages, including seniors and special‑needs pets with clear instructions. I work full time Monday through Friday, so my availability is 5 PM–10 PM on weekdays, with open availability on weekends. I’m happy to provide treats with your approval, and I prefer traveling to your home so your pet can stay in a familiar environment. Baths can be given upon request. I do not trim nails or hair since I’m not certified for grooming. If your pet has special routines, medications, or accommodations, I’m more than willing to follow them. Feel free to reach out anytime — I’m always happy to answer questions and help you feel confident about your pet’s care. I currently work full-time in the medical field. I’m able to provide weekend care and minor drop in and walks during the week day. I have several pets at home. If your pet does well around other animals I will be able to house them for a few days. I’m available for dog walking all weekend. Limited availability during the week.

The only pets I’ve watched are for friends, family, neighbors so far. But I love all animals and try to spoil them as much as I can. I’ve had many different pets over my 24 years. Can’t say I’ve had a pet I didn’t enjoy having. I always make sure litter boxes are clean, bladders are empty. Food and water bowls clean and filled. Playtime is fulfilled along with just sitting in their company

I have been entrusted to dogsit for several friends pups (of all sizes) and many cats, and was lucky enough to share 13 years with my dog Gunther and 12 years with my gray shorthair cat Wilbur. My darling 14-year-old kitty now gets all the extra love! I look forward to lightening your load and showing your pet the same love and attention I’d show my own! Availability flexible for now, may be more restricted in the future.

About: I've owned dogs and cats most of my life and I love all types of animals! I currently have a German Shepherd, with alot of energy and a cat who matches that energy, so high energy pets are no problem! I can handle all types of dogs both large and small, young and senior, and enjoy walking them.

My time is flexible during the weekdays and I can be available on most weekends if needed. My goal is to help your animal feel at ease by providing the same loving care you would for them. I've been recently laid off so this has given me more time with my dog Calla. She is walked every day for approximately 3 miles. She loves playing with sticks and toys and also her little brother Jinx the American short haired cat. With this available extra time it gives me flexible hours for house visits and walking throughout the week and some weekends. Both my wife and I care for both of our pets daily which includes walking and playing with them. I am also capable of feeding your pet and administering medications if needed.

Amazing! So glad I found him! He came thru last minutes. Some how he was able to get a long with me grouchy Benji and overly excited Nala. I’m sure my dogs will miss him. I would definitely recommend and use his service again.

Nikki is absolutely amazing. My dog is very nervous around people, she did not rush him. Initially, I reached out to have her handle some dinners a couple of times a year but then I had an unexpected death in the family that required me to go out of town for seven days. She was wonderful working around my schedule. We received multiple updates showing how happy he is hanging with her family and dogs. This meant the world to us knowing he was is such good hands.

Haley is the best! She accommodated my schedule & went above and beyond for my fur baby, Charlie. I was able to go on an overnight trip with no stress about how Charlie was doing.

I've used Denise several times now and I don't trust anyone else to look after my dog, but her! It's so hard to find a dog sitter with a small dog these days so I am definitely lucky to have found her :)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lindsay was absolutely amazing with my dog, Duke! From the very beginning, she was professional, responsive, and attentive to all of my questions, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Throughout Duke’s stay, she kept me updated daily with pictures and videos, and I could clearly see how happy and well cared for he was. That level of communication meant so much and truly set her apart. It’s not easy leaving your fur baby with someone, but Lindsay made the entire experience smooth and stress free. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dogsitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Duke! 🐾

Laura was awesome! Chacco had a blast during his weekend sleepover and loved hanging out with the other pups. She took great care of him, and I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. He came home happy and tired—always a good sign! Definitely booking with her again.

Once again we didn't hesitate to ask Stephanie to look after our little guy again while we went away. She does a great job at taking care of him and always gives us daily updates and pictures on how hes doing. We can tell that he loves staying with Stephanie and her family and it shows when he is so happy to see her when we drop him off. I recommend Stephanie to all of my friends incase they ever need someone to look after their pets.

We recently relocated to the area and needed a sitter for the holiday weekend for our dog. Even with a family emergency Donna was still willing to take her in for the weekend. I appreciated the flexibility and will rebook for the next trip. Don’t hesitate and book now.

Lashelle was absolutely amazing with Rockie! From the moment I dropped him off, she kept me updated with thoughtful, detailed messages and plenty of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Rockie is naturally anxious in new environments, but Lashelle was incredibly patient and knowledgeable. She understood his body language, gave him the space he needed to adjust, and helped him build confidence at his own pace. I especially appreciated how she handled introductions with her family and pets, always putting Rockie's comfort and safety first. It was clear she has a lot of experience with dogs and truly cares about their well-being. She kept me informed about everything—from his eating and potty habits to his progress settling in, making new friends, and even his funny moments watching TV! She also went above and beyond by cleaning him up after an accident without hesitation. By the end of his stay, Rockie had gone from being nervous to relaxing on the couch, enjoying the yard, snuggling with the family, and even warming up to everyone in the house. Seeing that progress meant so much to me. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Lashelle treated Rockie like one of her own, and I knew he was loved and cared for every step of the way. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is compassionate, experienced, communicative, and truly dedicated to providing exceptional care. We will absolutely be booking with her again!

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!

Lindsay was an amazing sitter for Kilo. She was incredibly friendly, responsive, and thoughtful from the very beginning, and took the time to do a meet and greet to be sure Kilo and her pup were a good match. She followed all of our care instructions perfectly and sent consistent updates while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we picked Kilo up, he was calm, relaxed, and clearly comfortable — it was obvious he felt right at home with Lindsay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her.

She was great at arranging pickup and drop off, to make sure it worked with our schedule too. Will definitely be rebooking when we need.

Brian is AWESOME!!!! We have now planned ALL vacations around his schedule. It’s so great to come home from a weekend or week vacation to a happy cheerful puppy (and our dog is 14 yrs old but acts like a puppy with Brian and his dog Bob). Would definitely recommend!
