“Melissa was so amazing with her care of both my dogs. Daily updates with pictures to assure me they were doing well. She is so sweet and attentive and so helpful when I needed to adjust my pick up time. I could not recommend her enough.”
“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!”
“Second stay for our girls, they had a great time. Very flexible and understanding with our late arrival for pick up. Communication was perfect, highly recommend and will be a return customer!”
“Linda is a kind, reliable, and a wonderful pet sitter. Both my experiences have been totally positive, and I will continue to choose Linda as my preferred pet sitter!”
“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!”
“Denise took very good care of my dog. He is a rather anxious pet, and she took extra care to sit with him at night and be sure he was comfortable for the night. She stayed in contact with questions and sent pictures of him playing. He had a big yard to play in, and a clean area in her home. She did a great job.”
“I am so thankful that my husband and I found Christine! Charlie LOVED being at her house and when we went to drop him off for his stay he even remembered her from out meet and greet a few weeks before. He made himself right at home when I dropped him off and I swear he didn’t even miss us! He was so well taken care of Christine made sure to go over all of his needs and what he liked and didn’t like with me before I left. I felt so comfortable leaving Charlie with her for the weekend and we will definitely be long term clients for her!”
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.
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.
“Alicia and Randy are wonderful pet hosts!!! The care, attention, professionalism, follow up, and the love they have for their furry clients are just a few examples of superior work. You can instantly tell that they have a genuine love for animals, my Lola was treated with love and great care. I recommend Alicia to anyone that is looking for a safe and loving place for their pets stay. Thank you a million times Alicia, Randy, and their pets Cruz and Azalea for opening your house for Lola.”
“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.”
“Sarah’s house was extremely comfortable and had a backyard for my dog to run around in. Sarah provided updates/pictures daily, was extremely responsive to my questions, and was flexible with pickup/drop off times. Great communication. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Rose and her boyfriend are a godsend. They didn’t flinch at the length of time we needed them, nor that we had three dogs (2 chihuahuas and 1 Aussie). We were comfortable knowing our three girls were safe and happy while we were all the way in Alaska for 9 days. Excellent experience!”
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.
“Kimberly took exceptional care of our pups! Highly highly recommend to anyone looking for an attentive care taker for your fur babies while away. I will not hesitate to call Ms. Kimberly again to watch Greta and Bow again.”
“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!”
“Anika was absolutely amazing. The care and concern provided for my baby was out of this world. Mocha thoroughly enjoyed being spoiled and having a ball with everyone in the home. I was really appreciative of Anika's consistent communication and check ins. The photos and videos were the highlight of my day while I was away. I don't trust my baby with many, but my heart was completely at ease while she was in Anika's care. Ever grateful. We will definitely use her services in the future. Thank you 💕”

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and truly love being around pets of every size and personality. I’m patient, gentle, and confident with all breeds from small dogs and seniors to high-energy pups and big lovable goofballs. I live with dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how important routine, comfort, and trust are. I give every pet the same love, attention, and care I give my own. Caring for pets is naturally built into my day because I already have animals of my own. I plan my mornings, afternoons, and evenings around walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m very flexible, so I can adjust my schedule to match your pet’s routine and needs Safety and trust come first. In your home, I follow your routines exactly—feeding schedules, walk routes, crate rules, and any house preferences. I always keep doors locked, double-check leashes and harnesses, and never rush a pet. I give each animal a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and understood.
“Stephanie was AMAZING!! She made us feel so comfortable. She was so prompt with check-in and updates. Our dog has seizures and she was knowledgeable and willing to accommodate that! 12/10 recommend”
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: For over 15 years, I’ve been dedicated to caring for cats and dogs, treating each pet like family. I currently have a calm, older rescue cat who gets along well with other animals, as well as a poodle. I’ve raised three dogs and have extensive experience with puppy training, crate training, and basic command training. My skills include managing pets with medical needs, including medication administration, as well as handling reactive dogs, allergies, and breed-specific grooming. As a passionate pet lover, I also volunteer with the Red Cross animal visitation program. You can trust me to provide reliable, loving, and customized care for your furry family members!
About: My cat care experience is much less varied than my dog care experience, but I've still had plenty of experience. Both the kennel and humane society I worked at had cats. I lived with 7 cats and took care of them often. A smaller experience would be the campus cats that my college has that will approach me if they're our and about!

“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.”

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: 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.

Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.

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.

I have years of experience and have had animals with a wide range of needs. I love animals with all of my heart and provide compassionate care.

About: I have cared for many dogs over time, I really enjoy it because they are instant mood boosters. I have helped with senior doggos and puppies, supported them in maintaining their routines and sense of comfort while their owners are away for brief stints to longer periods of time. Each dog has their own temperament so I enjoy the process of discovering their personalities and growing in trust with them. I also really like taking them on walks and watching them explore their surroundings. I’m available on most weekdays, the timing can be quite flexible but requires at least 24 hours notice. I’m less available on weekends but you’re still welcome to ask about them, I might be around and free! I am open to whatever process your dog needs and whatever they find most fitting and comforting in their home environments. Change (however small) can be stressful for them so I try as best as I can to keep things as stable and calm as I can for them.
“Caitlyn was wonderful with my dad's dog. She was on time, reliable, stayed in good communication with great pics to show how much the dog enjoyed her walk and play time. It was a huge help, since my dad has had health challenges which interfered with good dog walks. Five stars!”
About: I love getting dogs out for fresh air and exercise while making sure they always feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower, more relaxed pace, I’m happy to match their routine and personality. My goal is to provide plenty of attention, activity, and companionship so your pup stays happy while you’re away. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I’m focusing on pattern testing. This gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets throughout the week. My neighborhood is a fenced-in dog park with plenty of lush grass, perfect for safe off-leash play and zoomies! We're also steps away from a private beach and surrounded by scenic trails, so your pup will get lots of exercise, fresh air, and sniffs. I always prioritize safety, positive interactions, and keeping your furry friend happy and comfortable. Water, rest breaks, and lots of love are always included!

“Thank you so much Katie for taking such great care of my 4-legged furry kids! They came home appropriately pooped out. 😊 It didn’t take them long to get attached to you. They’re looking forward to more walks in the future.”
“Micaya deserves more than five stars. She was gentle, patient, and attentive to detail with Charlie. My German Shepard takes time to warm up to, but during our first meet and greet with Micaya, Charlie quietly lay next to her feet while we were talking. Micaya is Amazing she shared pictures and updates. Followed all instructions and was on time for scheduled walks. Micaya, you are loving and caring of our Fur family members.”
“Leah was a wonderful backup dog walker for me. She and my dog, Yen, got along great. It's so cute to see Yen greet and tell her goodbye. Leah was prompt, friendly and professional. I am happy with my choice.”
“We had a last minute trip and Victoria saved the day. She took great care of our dog Poe who has separation anxiety. She made sure he felt comfortable and safe. She also sent plenty of pictures and reported back on how he was acting on his walks which made us feel more comfortable as well. I’d definitely use her again.”
“You can tell Alexis is an animal lover watching her interact with your pets. My dog absolutely ADORES Alexis! She is very punctual, attentive, and extremely kind.

About: I used to have a dog as I grew up and took care of it for many years and have recently helped take care of my landlord's dog as well. I live in a subdivision so I am more than aware of the practice of curbing the dog. I am very special with pets and love taking care of them. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and all the care it needs and not just the bare basics of food water and walks.

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

“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!”
“Linda is a kind, reliable, and a wonderful pet sitter. Both my experiences have been totally positive, and I will continue to choose Linda as my preferred pet sitter!”
“Denise took very good care of my dog. He is a rather anxious pet, and she took extra care to sit with him at night and be sure he was comfortable for the night. She stayed in contact with questions and sent pictures of him playing. He had a big yard to play in, and a clean area in her home. She did a great job.”
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.
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.
“Alicia and Randy are wonderful pet hosts!!! The care, attention, professionalism, follow up, and the love they have for their furry clients are just a few examples of superior work. You can instantly tell that they have a genuine love for animals, my Lola was treated with love and great care. I recommend Alicia to anyone that is looking for a safe and loving place for their pets stay. Thank you a million times Alicia, Randy, and their pets Cruz and Azalea for opening your house for Lola.”
“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.”
“Sarah’s house was extremely comfortable and had a backyard for my dog to run around in. Sarah provided updates/pictures daily, was extremely responsive to my questions, and was flexible with pickup/drop off times. Great communication. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Rose and her boyfriend are a godsend. They didn’t flinch at the length of time we needed them, nor that we had three dogs (2 chihuahuas and 1 Aussie). We were comfortable knowing our three girls were safe and happy while we were all the way in Alaska for 9 days. Excellent experience!”
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.
“Kimberly took exceptional care of our pups! Highly highly recommend to anyone looking for an attentive care taker for your fur babies while away. I will not hesitate to call Ms. Kimberly again to watch Greta and Bow again.”
“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: 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.
“Elizabeth was an amazing sitter for my Pyrenees/Golden mix! I could tell he genuinely appreciated her company and will remember her forever now! She was very patient with him, as he struggles with stairs. Her communication was also excellent throughout. I was 1000 miles away but receiving pictures and daily updates really help assure me that Joni was having a nice time. Thanks 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.”
“Kelly is amazing!!! Dutch was immediately comfortable with her and it was clear that he was spoiled every single day. We thoroughly enjoyed the daily updates and pictures and for the first time we went on vacation without a worry!”
