“Kerry and her family took amazing care of my dog Briggs while I was out of town. I got loads of adorable pictures, and he was returned groomed and fluffy with a new bandana. I highly recommend them and will be reaching out again when I travel.”
“We highly recommend Melanie and Randy. They welcomed Dean Martin and treated him like their own. Our flight home was cancelled and our arrival was almost 24 hours later than planned but Melanie and Randy were flexible and accommodated our request to extend Dean Martin's stay. It made a stressful travel situation less stressful knowing that Dean Martin was well loved and cared for. Thank you!”
“Nikki was very responsive and sent picyures throughout my trip. My pup even had accidents. Thats right i said accidents with an s! And she was so sweet about it. 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 cannot say enough good things about Christianna! I’m always nervous to try someone new, but our regular pet sitter was unavailable. Christianna did research about our dog’s breed and she was flexible due to some life circumstances beyond our control. Lavender Brown came home happy and content. I would 100% recommend her and would definitely use her again if the need arose. Thank you!”
“Cleo always enjoys her stays with Denise's family. They always follow her care instructions and take great care of her, and share plenty of photos so I can check in. Would definitely recommend this sitter and will book with them again in the future.”
“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!”
“She’s the best ! I had a last minute family situation and she was able to accommodate getting my dog later in the evening and kept her longer than expected! Thank you !”
“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!”
“Christine is wonderful. Laika was very happy staying with Christine. Christine took care of my dog Laika above and beyond expectation. I highly recommend Christine. Thank you .”
“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 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.
“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!”
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.
“We love leaving our pup here! We get picture and video updates throughout the whole stay and feel so comfortable because of the great communication! He comes back happy and always seems to have a great time. We will continue to be a returning client.”
About: I love animals with all my heart. I’ve never met a pet who hasn’t loved me. I agree with the statement that animals are very energy in tune and I’d like to think so am I! I’ve done lots of dog sitting and cat sitting jobs for people close to me and they’re satisfied with how I did, so you 100% will be too. Your pet is in responsible, attentive hands. I have a free schedule and I’m in desperate need of a side hustle. I have too much free time and I think this would be the perfect thing to book my schedule with, especially because of how much I love being outside and animals. I’m very mindful of the safety even of my own animals so your pet is in the best of hands. Although my yard is not fenced, I take my dog out for walks leashed and for the few times she has escaped, I’m not near any major roads for there to be any accidents or for her to be in harm’s way. I am very vigilant and I would never put your animals or my own at risk because pets are apart of the family and I’d never let anything happen to a family member, even yours.
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.
“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.”

“Jessica went above and beyond and did such a great job with our cats. She sent us pictures and a note every time keeping us updated on how they were doing. I felt very at ease and did not have to worry about our cats while we were away with her caring for them!”
“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!”
“Kim was fantastic! She stayed at our home and was great caretaker of our 2 rambunctious kitties. She sent us updates and pictures several times each day and we couldn’t be happier.”
“We absolutely love using Caitlin and will only ever use her when possible! Our animals are always extremely well taken care of and the communication is more than we could ever ask for. We always know our furry friends are in the best hands when we have her check in on them. Will reccomend over and over again!”
“Jordan was amazing. The best sitter we have ever had. She is thorough, communicative and smart! Best of all, our cats fell in love with her. She always brought a toy, spent quality time with them and gave lots of pets. Her pictures, sent after every visit, are adorable. She has a knack for capturing the cutest, funniest and sweetest moments. We felt completely comfortable being away. She even handled the ever-evolving behaviors of a 6 mo old kitten without missing a beat. If you are lucky enough to book with her, don't hesitate!”
“Hannah was wonderful with our dog. She had great communication and she also was able to come last minute when our other sitter canceled. I will definitely be requesting her again!”
“I highly recommend James to keep your fur babies company while you're away! He dropped in to watched my two kitties over several days and I came back to a clean space and happy cats. He sent an abundance of photos and updates which helped ease my worries about them being alone. Thank you James!”
“Shemoy was great taking care of our two kitties and drop in visits! She kept us informed for each of her visits with pictures and she was always quick to respond to any messages. We will definitely have her back!”
“Bobbi really helped us ease our nerves about leaving our puppy. The picture updates were a huge relief, and their confidence and experience with dogs put our minds at ease. We will most definitely be using them again!”

I try to keep the routines and schedules that you have set for your pet while I am watching them. I do have a fenced in yard at my home; however, I am comfortable with walking your pet as well.
About: I've had and taken care of dogs and cats as long as I can remember. My current dog, Bruce, is an 11 year old Australian Shepherd. We also have Daisy, a 1 year old calico cat.

I am responsible and will be respectful of your property when I come for drop-in visits and to take your dog for a walk.

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.

Our flight home was cancelled and our arrival was almost 24 hours later than planned but Melanie and Randy were flexible and accommodated our request to extend Dean Martin's stay. It made a stressful travel situation less stressful knowing that Dean Martin was well loved and cared for. Thank you!”
“Nikki was very responsive and sent picyures throughout my trip. My pup even had accidents. Thats right i said accidents with an s! And she was so sweet about it. 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!”
“Cleo always enjoys her stays with Denise's family. They always follow her care instructions and take great care of her, and share plenty of photos so I can check in. Would definitely recommend this sitter and will book with them again in the future.”
“She’s the best ! I had a last minute family situation and she was able to accommodate getting my dog later in the evening and kept her longer than expected! Thank you !”
“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!”
“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 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.
“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!”
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 love animals with all my heart. I’ve never met a pet who hasn’t loved me. I agree with the statement that animals are very energy in tune and I’d like to think so am I! I’ve done lots of dog sitting and cat sitting jobs for people close to me and they’re satisfied with how I did, so you 100% will be too. Your pet is in responsible, attentive hands. I have a free schedule and I’m in desperate need of a side hustle. I have too much free time and I think this would be the perfect thing to book my schedule with, especially because of how much I love being outside and animals. I’m very mindful of the safety even of my own animals so your pet is in the best of hands. Although my yard is not fenced, I take my dog out for walks leashed and for the few times she has escaped, I’m not near any major roads for there to be any accidents or for her to be in harm’s way. I am very vigilant and I would never put your animals or my own at risk because pets are apart of the family and I’d never let anything happen to a family member, even yours.
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.
“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.”
About: I’ve have taken car of dog since I was 15 and love all kind of dogs. I have a two years old golden retriever that is fully house trained and love everyone. I work full time in the Navy and can board on the weekends. Also, available to sit and walk dogs Monday-Friday from 5 pm to 10 pm I have fencing yard and a golden retriever to keep you puppy company. Also, I can FaceTime anytime you need to see your puppy or send pictures.
“Stephanie is amazing! Absolutely will use her again. Albus had such a great time with her family and with Blaze! She sent photos and updates often. I love how organized her routine is and fit well with our lifestyle. She is the best!!!”
“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.”
“I appreciate the confidence you have given me through your service. I get to go away for work or vacation with absolutely no stress or worries for my pup's care. Truly, he probably likes his vacation too! He's not as excited coming home as he is when he's going. But I guess we're all like that when it comes to vacations.💯”
