“Kerry and her family treat our dog like absolute royalty!! He’s welcomed and cared for as if he were their own. We always pick him up happy and clearly spoiled with love. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter.”
“Sent us pictures of our pup everyday and gave updates. Our pupper had a friend all week to play with and came back happy! Great family to have take care of your dog!”
“I highly recommend Melanie and Randy to care for your pets! Our dog,Pax, can only have a certain type of dog toy, since he is a heavy chewer, and Melanie made sure that he would only have non-destructable toys to play with. She also gave updates with pictures to let me know how Pax was settling in. I felt very comfortable with Melanie and Randy caring for Pax and will definitely rebook with them on the future.”
“Christine was excellent with us and took great care of Burt. She was caring and compassionate, and she sent a lot of photos/videos while we were gone. Even when Burt was having some issues because of a UTI, she made sure to attend to his needs and was very patient. She gave him medicines each day as well. We're very grateful for everything Christine did for us, and Burt is thankful too. :)”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my dog while I was away. It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such loving and capable hands. Your patience, kindness, and attention truly mean a lot, and I could tell my dog felt comfortable and happy with you. I really appreciate the time, effort, and love you put into caring for them. Thank you again for everything!”
“Thank you Melissa! Max and Ringo had a great stay with you. They loved your fenced and shaded backyard and appreciated splashing in the doggie pool. It was the perfect environment!”

“My dogs had a great stay! Denise even got my picky dog to eat from a dish. I have a very hard time with. Her eating. The pictures of my dogs relaxing with the family gave me peace of mind so that I could enjoy my vacation. I would highly recommend Denise.”
“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.”
“Linda was great with our dog! She was very responsive and sent pictures. We could tell he had a blast with her dogs, as he napped the entire evening when we brought him home.”

“We are so thankful to have found Kimberly - she lovingly took care of our 2 dogs while we were out of town. One of our pups is almost 16 years old with mobility issues and lots of oral medications, but Kimberly took excellent care of her and all her needs. She updated us with photos multiple times each day, which we greatly appreciated. Thank you so much Kimberly - we would give you 10 stars if we could!”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of my own dogs both small and large breeds as well as cats. I’ve also taken care of pets for friends and family while they are out of town.

Also would be available for overnight care on weekends. prioritize maintaining the pet’s home routine, diet, and comfort level, all pets in my care for overnights are offered free roam in a safe environment but am willing to cage pet if owner would prefer to do that as well.
“Tina was fantastic! She sent me text messages, pictures, and videos of my Boston Terrier, Lee Lee. Tina took Lee Lee to the local dog park for exercise and cuddled with her in the evenings. I don't think my dog missed me at all. I will definitely use Tina in the future.”
“Anika was an amazing care giver for my fur baby. She sent daily videos and pictures which alleviated my anxiety. Since my fur baby was only 16 weeks old, Anika was really patient with him because he is not fully house trained. I will definitely be using her services again and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter.”

About: I have always been around all different animals all growing up, and understand it comes with patience, and love most of all . I have always believed animals have feelings just like we do as humans ! I’m currently working park time and am available any time of the day/night except Tuesdays & Thursdays. I can come in and play , go on a walk , feed, and sit and show love . I can come into clients home, and focus entirely on the animals giving them the care they need while understanding it is not my home .
About: I work from home with a flexible schedule. I have experience with puppies and older dogs as well. No matter the age, the work day is a long time for them to be alone and I’ll get them outside for potty and back in for some pets and snuggles. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule. I have base access and can also get them to the vet if you can’t get away from work. I will come over and ensure your home is safe and secure upon entering and leaving. If they’re not sleeping in the living room I’ll go find them in the house and get them outback in your fenced yard or on a walk to get their potty and exercise break in.
“Very communicative about visits. Very nice and easy to get along with. Our cats warmed up to her very quickly (even our shy/skittish cat). Would definitely have her watch our animals again and highly recommend.”
About: Hi. Something short about me is that I used to have an american pit when I grew up. I trained her with her responding both to verbal commands and hand gestures. I also have trained and taken care of cats while i was in college. I currently help take care of a mastiff thats approximately 150 lbs so i dont shy from big breeds either.
“Nicole was great- she came over for a meet and greet before our first booking, checked in to verify instructions before the booking, and took another walk through when she came to pickup the keys. She arrived for scheduled pet visits in a timely manner, communicated well and sent adorable pictures, and was able to spend enough time with out pets that we knew they felt cared for.”
“This is the second time we've had Leah do drop-in visits to medicate our cats and refill food/clean litter. She is reliable and willing to go the extra mile to find hiding cats and make sure they get their meds!”

“Jacqueline did a outstanding job taking care of Lulu. My 20 month old golden retriever is high energy and she was outside throwing freebies and balls with her a many times during the day. She sent us pictures and videos throughout the day. The whole process was very easy and she was flexible when we needed a little later with pickup. We will definitely be a repeat client. Thank you Jacqueline 😊”
“First, Jaliah is so kind. Nala had a good time and was definitely ready for a nap once we got home (until she thought about treats, lol). Nala and I look forward to booking with Jaliah again soon.”
“Second time using Genil (in less than two weeks) and she was just as great as the first time. I had a last minute request and she accommodated my early morning drop off time. She sent pics showing her interacting with the puppy and he had a great time. Her mom is funny, too. It took a second for my puppy to warm up to her but they're best friends now. Lol. Highly recommend. We'll definitely be back.”

I have a fenced in yard and take walks on the beach at the bay. I do have fur babies of my own and they are very friendly if your dog needs socialization. If needed I can crate your animals if requested.

About: I’ve been taking care of a wide variety of pets since I was physically able to. I grew up in a household where taking care of animals was part of our everyday lives. My mom has worked in the animal field all her life and I followed in her footsteps until I had my first son 3 years ago and am now a stay at home mom. I started as a receptionist at my local animal hospital, moved on to a technician, and spent 4 years as a kennel supervisor until I moved on to emergency animal care. I understand whole heartedly that animals are more than just pets, they are family and will be treated as such when they are in my care. 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: Welcome to our home, which can be a home away from home for your pet! We provide a family home atmosphere, where your dog can run and play with my family. We love to play outside. Our yard is fully fenced. In addition to loving the outdoors, our family also loves movies so if your dog loves to snuggle up on the couch and be petted this is the place for them to! I have experience with elderly pets and love to have a furry friend to keep me company while relaxing as well. My experience in pet care includes: dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and other small mammals. I started watching pets in the neighborhood when I was in middle school. I have always had pets throughout my whole life. Once I watched a friends dog for nearly two years because that friend was struggling to find housing. We are a military family, so we understand the difficulties of not having anyone close by to watch your pet while away. Any pet in our home will be treated like family. I am a stay at home mom, so I am home all day most days. I am also used to waking up early and running around taking care of everyone so a few extra pets is no trouble. I have a fenced in yard where your dog can run and play with my family and any dogs I may be watching. We can also go on walks around the neighborhood.

I have four dogs of my own and a fenced yard for them. However, I prefer to offer services at the clients’ homes to avoid any possibly clashes with my “pack.” I will not host dogs at my home.

“Kerry and her family treat our dog like absolute royalty!! He’s welcomed and cared for as if he were their own. We always pick him up happy and clearly spoiled with love. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter.”
“Sent us pictures of our pup everyday and gave updates. Our pupper had a friend all week to play with and came back happy! Great family to have take care of your dog!”
“I highly recommend Melanie and Randy to care for your pets! Our dog,Pax, can only have a certain type of dog toy, since he is a heavy chewer, and Melanie made sure that he would only have non-destructable toys to play with. She also gave updates with pictures to let me know how Pax was settling in. I felt very comfortable with Melanie and Randy caring for Pax and will definitely rebook with them on the future.”
“Thank you Melissa! Max and Ringo had a great stay with you. They loved your fenced and shaded backyard and appreciated splashing in the doggie pool. It was the perfect environment!”

“My dogs had a great stay! Denise even got my picky dog to eat from a dish. I have a very hard time with. Her eating. The pictures of my dogs relaxing with the family gave me peace of mind so that I could enjoy my vacation. I would highly recommend Denise.”
“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.”
“Linda was great with our dog! She was very responsive and sent pictures. We could tell he had a blast with her dogs, as he napped the entire evening when we brought him home.”
“Genil is the sweetest! Thank you so much for taking care of mu puppy with my super last minute request (literally within 2 hrs). You can tell she really cares about the animals she cares for. She took care of my baby and sent pics. He came home good and tired. Lol. Would definitely recommend.”
“We are so thankful to have found Kimberly - she lovingly took care of our 2 dogs while we were out of town. One of our pups is almost 16 years old with mobility issues and lots of oral medications, but Kimberly took excellent care of her and all her needs. She updated us with photos multiple times each day, which we greatly appreciated. Thank you so much Kimberly - we would give you 10 stars if we could!”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of my own dogs both small and large breeds as well as cats. I’ve also taken care of pets for friends and family while they are out of town. I have been working in healthcare since 2019 so I har lots of care giving experience I currently work Monday through Friday and would love do drop in visits before or after work. Also would be available for overnight care on weekends. prioritize maintaining the pet’s home routine, diet, and comfort level, all pets in my care for overnights are offered free roam in a safe environment but am willing to cage pet if owner would prefer to do that as well.
“Tina was fantastic! She sent me text messages, pictures, and videos of my Boston Terrier, Lee Lee. Tina took Lee Lee to the local dog park for exercise and cuddled with her in the evenings. I don't think my dog missed me at all. I will definitely use Tina in the future.”
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a Blue Great Dane named Diesel. He is great with other dogs, and we will have to do a meet and great to make sure you’re pup will get along with him also. I’m usually available unless the wife has me doing something. I spend every min I can with my dog and will show your dog the same treatment. My yard is unfenced for now, but it is 2 acres that’s at the end of a quiet neighborhood. We have plenty of room to play and go on walks.
About: I provide a calm, structured home environment along with attentive home visits. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’m home the majority of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention. Because of this, your pup won’t be left alone for extended periods. My home is clean, pet-safe, and designed for comfort. I intentionally limit the number of dogs I board at one time to ensure each pet receives attentive, high-quality care. Located in the desirable and safe Pembrooke neighborhood, I also provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.
“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!”
“Thank you Elizabeth, for taking such great care of our boy Max. He requires extra attention due to his separation anxiety. You treated him like he was your own, allowing him to be a lap dog as big as he is. He loves to be next to people. You provided us with pictures and updates on how he was doing. We enjoyed our trip, knowing he was being well taken care of. Elizabeth, you went out of your way to help us stay calm when our flight was significantly delayed. We will definitely use your services again.”
“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.”
