“David did a fantastic job watching our lab. He communicates very well and Lulu was obviously enjoying her time there. We will absolutely use David again. Highly recommend!”
“From our initial meet and greet to pick-up, Aunt Patti made us feel like we were a valued part of her family. Patti is a pet parent dream. You instantly could tell how much she loves dogs. Well stocked with toys and treats, Patti made sure my pet felt at home. Patti asked all the right questions to make sure my pet would be following the same rules we've set at home. She also made sure her yard was safe and secure for a small dog. Garvey will be returning to Aunt Patti's soon!”
“Luna loves staying with Lauren & Kevin. When I dropped her off she ran right to the front door! I love when they send me pictures and Luna is playing or relaxing! Love it!”
“Robert is a really nice person, flexible with hours and dates (we had to drop Skye off a day before and he accepted even if was last minute notice ). He kept us posted with messages, pictures and videos. I would definitely leave Skye with him again . It was a pleasure meeting him and Skye loved him as well. He took a really nice care of our baby.”
“Elizabeth was great communicating and letting us know the status of our dog Chico. We were very please with her care and services. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“Emily is a great sitter who is very flexible and always keeps clients updated on their pets including pictures. Highly recommend for others. Have used her three times and my dog always comes home happy.”
“Beverly took wonderful care of my Frenchie. She was quick to make Cookie feel right at home. Sent a lot of pictures and videos. There is always some anxiety when having someone care for your pet, but I knew within an hour my Cookie was in the right place. I would recommend Beverly to anyone who needs pet care and sitting services. So much better than a kennel. Your dog will be loved and will gets lots and lots of attention and love all day and all night.”
About: I've had dogs all my life. We just just put our dog down after 12 years from being raised as a puppy. Our family isn't ready for a new dog yet, but we love the company! As a teacher, my summer is dedicated to being home and active! I am looking forward to a summer filled with backyard play and plenty of attention for our guest pups. Since we’ll be home the vast majority of the time, your dog will have constant companionship. While we might head out for the occasional short day trip or camp drop-off, our schedule is primarily centered around being home, making us very flexible for drop-offs, pick-ups, and mid-day belly rubs! Your pup’s safety is our top priority! We have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under constant supervision. Our home is a family environment with three kids who are taught to be gentle and respectful with animals, so we do require that any guest dogs be kid-friendly. Inside, we have stairs, so please let us know if your pup has any mobility issues or needs assistance. We are also happy to crate your dog for meals or naps if that is what they are used to at home. Since we currently have no other pets, your dog will receive 100% of our attention and love during their stay
“Katie was excellent throughout the week while Bonnie was in her care!! she sent me photos every day, with updates. Honestly, it gave me such a peace of mind, knowing that she was with a family that was loving on her.”
“Alisa was awesome! Our 2 dogs loved staying with her. We were a little worried they wouldn’t want to come home! ? Alisa sent lots of pics which was also appreciated. We will definitely reach out to Alisa again in the future when we need a place for our dogs.”
“I was nervous because this was the first time I'd left Picasso with someone he didn't know. Ekow was extremely kind and sent updates of a happy dog daily, which made me feel much better. We've found a new sitter and I will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Five stars!!”
“We read great reviews about Nicolle and they were not wrong our mocha baby loved her and she made us feel at peace that Mocha was in good hands. Thank you to Nicole and her family”
“I am so grateful to have found Amanda. She is such a sweet person and her care of my dog was exceptional, administering meds and food at specific times. She sent photos and messages to keep me updated. I felt very confident that Carly was being cared for with the same love and concern I have for her. I will use her services again and highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for the best dog sitter in the area.”
“Megan was the best! We received multiple daily updates of Max while away on our trip. Max had the best time, going for walks, eating doggy ice cream and even getting a bath. I definitely recommend leaving your babies with Megan!”
About: I've been caring for animals all my life and have grown up with them always in the home. I work hard to make sure they feel welcomed and love while in my care since I know it can be hard for them being away from family. I have fostered and volunteered with rescues and local shelters for 10 years. I have also been a wildlife rehabber for 6 years and greatly enjoy helping all animals in need. I do currently have one dog that is back end paralyzed and loves everyone and everything. Im currently working part time from home so I will always be here with the furry friends I am caring for. I have a daily routine of getting up early, letting the doggy's outside, feeding them breakfast, going for walks when the weather allows, lots of toys to play with, feed them dinner and have a good time together. We also work on basic training and enjoying lots of love and cuddles. I have a fenced in yard, wonderful neighbors and a welcoming environment for even nervous dogs. I have baby gates set up as well to keep everyone safe.
About: For over 25 years, our home has never been without a dog. Sadly, we had to say goodbye to our beloved boy, Blue, this past year, and we deeply miss the daily joy and warmth a pet brings to a household. Right now, our family is in a transition period as our daughter heads off to college to play softball. Before we commit to a new pet of our own, we want to see how her game and travel schedule unfolds so we can ensure we have the proper time and dedication a permanent dog deserves. Caring for your pet gives us the wonderful opportunity to welcome that familiar canine joy back into our lives, while giving your dog a warm, experienced, and incredibly attentive "home away from home" where they will be treated like family. Since I work from home full-time, your pup will have constant companionship throughout the day. I am easily able to step away for regular, timely bathroom breaks, and I love using my work breaks to check in on them, stretch our legs, and truly enjoy their company. We have a fully fenced-in backyard, but please note that one portion of the fence in the back is a bit lower. Because of this, we want to ensure your pup isn't an active "fence-jumper." However, safety is my top priority! My work-from-home setup gives me full visibility of the entire backyard while I work. If there is ever any concern, I am more than happy to accompany your dog outside every time they need to do their business. Daily Routine & Preferences Once the workday wraps up, it’s all about the dogs—longer neighborhood walks and dedicated playtime are always on the horizon! I am incredibly comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic young pups to gentle seniors, provided they are fully house-trained.
“Jess boarded our pocket bully over the Christmas holiday. She was Amazing. We received daily pictures and updates on how our pooch was doing. I highly recommend her services . Very professional.”

“Kelly was incredible! She responds quickly, gives great updates, as well as sends photos. She’s friendly & took great care of our cat! We will only ever go directly to Kelly in the future. Five stars!”
About: I have had pet cats since I was 6 years old, and currently live with 2! I love meeting the unique personalities of cats and adapting as needed. If they want to play and love attention, I have plenty to give. If they just want to chill out and lay around, sounds good to me! It's their world, I'm just (happily) living in it.
“Erin was phenomenal with my cat. She had a google form ready to gather as much info as possible about my cat, very well prepared. She took the time to play and give him love while I was away, even provided many photos and a thorough description of how the visit went! Would highly recommend for anyone who needs someone to watch their pet(s)!!!”
“Yvonne was amazing. My cat Ares absolutely loved her. Even when he first met her, he ran up to her and rubbed on her!! Lol She sent me photos daily of them playing together, which I totally loved. She feed him and changed his little box while I away. She even switched up his food because he dislikes eating the same food everyday. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She deserves 100 stars!! I will definitely book her again!!”
“Victoria was a great cat sitter! My cats really enjoyed her company and you could tell they were very happy. It was great knowing my cats were in good hands while I was away. She even took my trash cans out just in time for trash day!! I will definitely be rebooking in the future! :)”
“Madison is a great sitter! She made sure to come over and meet Gizmo beforehand and to get to know him. From the pictures that she sent, it was obvious that Gizmo was very comfortable with her & enjoyed having her company during the designated drop ins! Also, I love it that she lives nearby so the security of having a sitter nearby in case something happens while I'm away is also great. Will definitely be booking Madison in the future :)”

“Shylah is absolutely wonderful and so loved by my cats. She gives them all the snuggles and attention they each need. So happy to know they were in such good hands while I was away.”
About: My two amazing cats are 11 years old. There names are Simba & Reigny. I wipe their faces daily. I make sure to scrub their water bowl with soap every single day so they have clean and fresh water. The second I notice they use the litter box, I get up and clean it for them. Those cats are my heart and soul.
About: I've loved cats ever since I was a little kid. They're so much fun and have such big personalities! I've cleaned litter boxes my whole life, administer medication for my own cat, and have raised two long haired fur babies.
About: I am an avid dog lover and lover of all animals!! We treat our dogs like people, but more importantly they are our family. I will come to your home and watch your babies in the comfort of their own space. I work remote, so I can work from your home. I love all kinds of dogs as long as they don't bite strangers :) I take photos or videos everyday and send them to you, but sometimes I send them to your personal phone and not the app, so it affects my photo rating on here. About this sitter: I am an avid pet lover who works remotely and would love to take care of your furbaby/babies in the convenience of their own home! I can travel anywhere with enough notice. Just let me know! I am quite flexible and would enjoy giving my time and attention to your loved one! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since I was a teenager, but really since I was born as I have always been in a house with dogs! I have been volunteering and helping out dogs for the past three decades!
“Jessica was very accommodating when our times changed. She took great care with our two dogs and the both loved her. We will definitely use her services again and I would highly recommend her.”
“I'm a trucker and needed someone to watch our cat the same day while we went to Canada. David was available thankfully at the time we needed to drop her off and pick her up even though both times were pretty late. I really appreciated that!”
About: No such thing as a dog too big! Growing up with several dogs in my family home, I truly view them as a part of our families. With a belief in positive reinforcement and redirection, your dog will have a fun, stress-free time; making our home their home for the duration of their stay. Having gone through the puppy stage several times, including within the past year, I can assure you our patience is tried and tested, and that I carry an attitude in which it is imperative to maintain respect for the individual temperament of each dog. Some breeds I have experience with include: pitbulls, labs, dobermans, cane corsos, boxers, and mastiffs. I have trained my dogs in basic obedience, all with varying degrees of energy level, stubbornness, and intelligence 🙃. While size does not matter, all dogs who enter our home must be child and dog friendly. **To ensure the safety and comfort of everyone involved, meet and greets are mandatory without exception before boarding or daycare. This can take place at a dog-friendly park, or our backyard if you would like to see our home.** *Smoke and alcohol free home *Large fenced backyard *Almost always home I am a full time stay at home mom to a 3.5 year old as well as 1 year old male (neutered) dog. We do not leave him home alone for more than three hours, so your dog would have human companionship and access to the outdoors at almost all times! Our dog is no longer using one, so we have a large crate that your dog is welcome to use if that is what they are accustomed to or have any destructive tendencies when left alone. Our dog gets lot's of love and exercise. We make sure he practices good manners with daily basic training and keep him happy with enrichment activities, walks, and plenty of scratches. We never leave him outside unattended and he is ALWAYS leashed if outside of the backyard fence. I have had three dogs as an adult, and none have ever escaped.

“First time using Emily & she is super informative! Love that she understands and works at the dogs speed and doesn’t rush the dog into anything they aren’t ready for! Being the first time at doggy day care I think Copee will be looking forward to more hangouts with Emily in the future!”
“Pattie was wonderful with Pepper! She communicated consistently throughout the day while being respectful of my work schedule. She sent plenty of pictures and clearly spoiled our baby girl. Pepper came home happy and well cared for. We will definitely use Pattie again for care when we need it.”

About: I have a loving heart and a natural ability to connect to every dog. I've had dogs my whole life. I've taken care of dogs my whole life since I was a young girl playing with my dog and all the other dogs in the neighborhood. I can work every day of the week from 10am-6pm. I love working with animals and dogs are my favorite animal in the world! I have a compassionate heart and will be very gentle with your doggies. Yes! I have cared for other pets around my neighborhood and would consider myself an expert for the amount of years spent with dogs. I am very gentle and playful with dogs I approach them in a nice manner from behind and rub their belly and play with them. I only give them treats if I am allowed to, I enjoy walking dogs, taking care of them, spending time with them, and being around them because they are so friendly, affectionate and pleasant to be around. I like going places with them. They are friends for life! You can trust that your pups are in safe care with me. I have 9 years of experience walking dogs and they really usually all love me. I'm very happy so we have a lot in common, we don't sweat the small stuff.
About: Open home with no children or other animals. All sizes of cats and dogs welcome! I hope your baby likes fun and affection because this is the place for it! I've had pets most of my life, and enjoy having happy wagging tails and purrs of contentment nearby. Pet families welcome too! Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, providing a meaningful way to blend responsibility with care. Each visit is thoughtfully scheduled to ensure consistency, creating a sense of comfort and safety for the pets. I prioritize secure environments, always double-checking doors, gates, and feeding instructions to protect their wellbeing. My growing knowledge of animal behavior helps me recognize what each pet needs, whether it’s a calming walk, playtime, or quiet companionship. This attentiveness brings peace of mind to pet owners and happiness to the animals, making pet sitting not just a task, but a fulfilling and trusted part of my week. When caring for a pet in someone else’s home, I prioritize trust and respect in every action I take. I understand that I’m being welcomed into a personal space, and I treat it with the same care and consideration I would expect in return. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to house rules, to ensure the pet remains comfortable and routines are maintained. I respect the home by keeping it clean and secure, and I always communicate openly with the owners, providing updates for peace of mind. Above all, I build trust by being reliable, thoughtful, and fully focused on the wellbeing of both the pet and the home.

“Shelby did a great job with my boy. This was my first time using Rover and I was relieved to find someone who was so comfortable with him, even as big as he is. They got along fabulously, definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve had dogs for the majority of my life. Family and friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs. My husband and I have adopted 2 of our own little four-legged fur baby who rule the house! So clearly, we just pay the bills so they can continue living their best worry free life. I am a SAHM and my husband is home by 10am. While I am walking your fur baby my main focus would be your baby, making sure they got a really nice walk! We have a fenced in yard, live in front of a park with many fenced in areas, and have two fur babies to keep your fur baby company while your away. I maintain a clean household and welcome your fur baby any time!
About: I’ve had numerous dogs throughout my years including fosters, seniors, puppies and newborns. I have experience administering medications and aiding in mobility for the seniors. I have a one year old german shepherd mix. I have been with and handled lots of different breeds and energy levels. Pet care is everything to me and I’m looking to open that up from just my pup. I am available most of the time except Wednesdays. I have a fenced yard, lots of toys, outdoor and indoor beds, extra leases, lick mats, separate feeding stations, as well as a crate if needed.
“Keana does a great job for our new little guy Captain and Captain is super happy to see her when she gets here. She makes sure he gets bathroom breaks, food, and water, even takes time to play with him before she puts back in his kennel with a few treats.”

I am patient, dependable, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, or companionship, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I am currently a substitute teacher, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the school year and full availability during the summer months.

As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I follow each pet’s routine, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and always ensure they are safe and secure during walks and visits. I communicate regularly with pet parents and am happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I will treat your pet with the same care and love that I give my own dog.

“David did a fantastic job watching our lab. He communicates very well and Lulu was obviously enjoying her time there. We will absolutely use David again. Highly recommend!”
“Luna loves staying with Lauren & Kevin. When I dropped her off she ran right to the front door! I love when they send me pictures and Luna is playing or relaxing! Love it!”
“Robert is a really nice person, flexible with hours and dates (we had to drop Skye off a day before and he accepted even if was last minute notice ).

About: I've had dogs all my life. We just just put our dog down after 12 years from being raised as a puppy. Our family isn't ready for a new dog yet, but we love the company! As a teacher, my summer is dedicated to being home and active! I am looking forward to a summer filled with backyard play and plenty of attention for our guest pups. Since we’ll be home the vast majority of the time, your dog will have constant companionship. While we might head out for the occasional short day trip or camp drop-off, our schedule is primarily centered around being home, making us very flexible for drop-offs, pick-ups, and mid-day belly rubs! Your pup’s safety is our top priority! We have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under constant supervision. Our home is a family environment with three kids who are taught to be gentle and respectful with animals, so we do require that any guest dogs be kid-friendly. Inside, we have stairs, so please let us know if your pup has any mobility issues or needs assistance. We are also happy to crate your dog for meals or naps if that is what they are used to at home. Since we currently have no other pets, your dog will receive 100% of our attention and love during their stay
“Katie was excellent throughout the week while Bonnie was in her care!! she sent me photos every day, with updates. Honestly, it gave me such a peace of mind, knowing that she was with a family that was loving on her.”
“Alisa was awesome! Our 2 dogs loved staying with her. We were a little worried they wouldn’t want to come home! ? Alisa sent lots of pics which was also appreciated. We will definitely reach out to Alisa again in the future when we need a place for our dogs.”
“I was nervous because this was the first time I'd left Picasso with someone he didn't know. Ekow was extremely kind and sent updates of a happy dog daily, which made me feel much better. We've found a new sitter and I will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Five stars!!”
“I am so grateful to have found Amanda. She is such a sweet person and her care of my dog was exceptional, administering meds and food at specific times. She sent photos and messages to keep me updated. I felt very confident that Carly was being cared for with the same love and concern I have for her. I will use her services again and highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for the best dog sitter in the area.”
About: I've been caring for animals all my life and have grown up with them always in the home. I work hard to make sure they feel welcomed and love while in my care since I know it can be hard for them being away from family. I have fostered and volunteered with rescues and local shelters for 10 years. I have also been a wildlife rehabber for 6 years and greatly enjoy helping all animals in need. I do currently have one dog that is back end paralyzed and loves everyone and everything. Im currently working part time from home so I will always be here with the furry friends I am caring for. I have a daily routine of getting up early, letting the doggy's outside, feeding them breakfast, going for walks when the weather allows, lots of toys to play with, feed them dinner and have a good time together. We also work on basic training and enjoying lots of love and cuddles. I have a fenced in yard, wonderful neighbors and a welcoming environment for even nervous dogs. I have baby gates set up as well to keep everyone safe.
About: For over 25 years, our home has never been without a dog. Sadly, we had to say goodbye to our beloved boy, Blue, this past year, and we deeply miss the daily joy and warmth a pet brings to a household. Right now, our family is in a transition period as our daughter heads off to college to play softball. Before we commit to a new pet of our own, we want to see how her game and travel schedule unfolds so we can ensure we have the proper time and dedication a permanent dog deserves. Caring for your pet gives us the wonderful opportunity to welcome that familiar canine joy back into our lives, while giving your dog a warm, experienced, and incredibly attentive "home away from home" where they will be treated like family. Since I work from home full-time, your pup will have constant companionship throughout the day. I am easily able to step away for regular, timely bathroom breaks, and I love using my work breaks to check in on them, stretch our legs, and truly enjoy their company. We have a fully fenced-in backyard, but please note that one portion of the fence in the back is a bit lower. Because of this, we want to ensure your pup isn't an active "fence-jumper." However, safety is my top priority! My work-from-home setup gives me full visibility of the entire backyard while I work. If there is ever any concern, I am more than happy to accompany your dog outside every time they need to do their business. Daily Routine & Preferences Once the workday wraps up, it’s all about the dogs—longer neighborhood walks and dedicated playtime are always on the horizon! I am incredibly comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic young pups to gentle seniors, provided they are fully house-trained.
“Jess boarded our pocket bully over the Christmas holiday. She was Amazing. We received daily pictures and updates on how our pooch was doing. I highly recommend her services . Very professional.”
“I am so happy to have chosen to leave my little Jazz with Tonya! Her little boys and her fur babies were a delight and were very receptive of him! When I picked him up, Tonya had him looking so good and fluffy…I could tell she had taken time to brush him🙂 She was really patient with him and I most definitely would like to book with Tonya again in the future!”
“Catalina was amazing. She gave daily updates, was great at communicating and also sent pictures (whenever my cat would allow it. lol). My trip took an unexpected turn so I needed an extra day to get back home and she couldn't have been more understanding about it. I highly recommend her!”
About: Hi! I’m Nicole. I’m a retired professional petsitter/dog walker of 10+ years and have experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, and ages. I’m comfortable giving oral medications, insulin shots, and catering to special dietary needs. I’ve been working from home recently and would love to have some dog friends to keep me company. I own my home and have a HUGE fenced in yard that is great for fetch, and dog friends are welcome on the furniture. Dogs that love to go for walks are a plus because honestly, I feel weird going for walks without one lol. Dogs must be cat friendly! I’m a homebody by nature and rarely am away from home for more than a couple of hours, if I do go out I typically will separate my cats and my dog friends as an additional safety precaution. I don’t crate dogs unless it’s a typical part of their routine. I’m unable to accommodate dogs from multiple households.
“Theresa and AK were wonderful to work with and we would highly recommend them. The meet and greet was really helpful in making sure it was a good fit and being able to discuss the arrangements beforehand. They are quick and reliable communicators and we felt confident and comfortable that our two dogs were in good hands. We dropped off our dogs for our wedding weekend and never once had to worry about them thanks to regular updates and checkins from Theresa and AK. Thank you both!”
