While we were gone, we received daily updates and could tell Teddy looked happy which makes leaving easier! We would use Andrew again”

“Jen arranged a meet and greet time before we agreed to go forward. She arrived on time and was friendly. She asked good questions. She watched my two cats for 2 days. When I got home the cats were their usual selves and not stressed so that was a good sign that all went well. Jen also texted me while I was gone to let me know that I had left my door unlocked and that she locked it for me . I felt very comfortable with Jen and would recommend her.”
“Jan dropped in for house visits twice daily with our two cats for a week while we were on vacation. She was amazing about keeping us updated with pics, playing with the cats, and ensuring they had human interaction other than just food and water. She’s cared for our cats before and we would definitely recommend her! Thank you, Jan 🙂”
“This is the second time we have booked Lindy and Seth to care for our pets when we are away and they do a wonderful job taking care of them and keeping you in the loop about how your pets are doing while you are away! I would highly recommend booking them to care for your fur-babies while you are away!”
“Kayla did a wonderful job with my kitties. After just one visit they had adjusted to her and were willing to get those good pets. Thank you for taking good care of them!”
“Ashly was great with my four boys and sought them out to give them some love while she was here. The photos were lovely and I could tell they felt comfort with her. I’ve already hired her for my next work trip.”
“Joey was great. She handled the special medicine put kitties needed and fed them separately. She made sure she undid what they needed and provided excellent communication. Thanks!”
“Thank you for checking on our cats while we were out of town! It gave us so much peace of mind to know someone was checking on them consistently and spending quality time with them while we could not.”
“Stephanie was great! I can tell my pet was well cared for and I also came home to a house that was just as clean (if not cleaner) than when I left it. I will happily use her again!”
“Kristin was quick to respond and provided picture updates as requested. My cats were calm when I returned and my home was cared for. She did a good job and would book her again.”
“Tamera went above and beyond taking care of my 17 year old special diet cat. She even took my cat to the vet and stayed with her when my cat had an unexpected medical emergency. She communicated everything I needed to know promptly, and it was clear from the photos she sent that my sassy cat was a big fan of her. I could enjoy the rest of my vacation knowing she was in good hands.”
“Paige did a great job with our two cats, stopped in daily at the same time and played with and fed them, cleaned the litter box and sent us daily updates and photos, and all went well! And the best thing was, unlike other times when we've been gone, the cats had no behavioral issues, didn't chew anything up or leave poop surprise anywhere to show their defiance-- everything was normal when we got home and they seem perfectly content :)”
“Nicole took wonderful care of my sick kitty while I was on vacation. I was initially concerned about leaving Hazel’s care with someone I didn’t know, but Nicole alleviated those concerns with daily updates, pictures, adjusting to changes in Hazel’s medications, bringing in different foods for Hazel to try urging her to eat, and all of the snuggles! I would definitely trust Nicole to look after my kitty again!”
“Adelaide was wonderful to work with! She cared so well for our cats and provided great feedback and pictures from her drop-in visits. She paid attention to detail, communicated well and was a top notch pet sitter! We’ll definitely book her pet sitting services again!”
“Carine was wonderful and my kitties warmed right up to her. She brought her daughter when she was available so the kitties got extra attention twice a day for the long weekend. My kitties still sit by the front door wondering when their new friends will be back💕”
“Ashley is an awesome pet sitter! I hate to even call her that - she's your pets best friend when you're out of town. She's attentive, follows complicated directions flawlessly, and truly loves and cares for your animals like they're your own. She even accommodated a last minute personal emergency with grace. Thank you Ashley, I can't wait to work together in the future. Sushi and Bamboo already miss your playtimes!”
About: We are caretakers for all our family and friends fur babies when they need help. For hours or days. We lost our golden doodle to cancer and miss having another dog around but aren’t ready to commit to our own yet. Let us spoil yours! Between the four of us we typically have great flexibility in our schedule. We do work outside of the home so the pups need to be able to withstand 3-4 hours alone. We have a large fenced in yard where they can roam freely or play with balls and sticks or just lay on the sun if they’re lazy 😊

“Sonja and Adam were both very nice and their dogs too. I received a cute video of my dog playing with one of their dog during the day. They always answered my message quickly. They took care of Lola very well.”
“Our dog always leaves happy from her stays with Jeremiah and his family which gives us great peace of mind. He has been so flexible and has had great communication with us on the many days we’ve had our Husky stay for doggy day-care. I highly recommend Jeremiah!”
“Joey is great! I never worry about my dog when he stays there. He was so excited to go when he did day care and would run to the door when we arrived. Definitely recommend.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who understands how important it is to know your pet is safe and happy while you’re away. I provide reliable, attentive care and treat every dog like part of my family. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels.

I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! Your dog’s day will include plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. Depending on their needs, we’ll go for walks, play with toys, and enjoy some relaxing downtime. I stick closely to your dog’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I currently work part-time from home so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your dogs needs!

About: What sets me apart is my professional background as a Medical Assistant combined with my lifelong love for animals. Growing up alongside our family dog, Topacio, who has been with us for over 10 years, I have developed a deep understanding and gentle touch for senior dog care—knowing exactly how to keep older pets comfortable, safe, and happy. My medical training gives me an extra layer of responsibility, attention to detail, and a calm demeanor when looking after pets. I am well-versed in caring for dogs of all sizes and ages from friends and family, and I focus on providing a structured, loving home environment. I treat every furry guest with the same dedication and affection as if they were my own! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I have a flexible hybrid schedule, working some days from home doing patient video consultations and other days from the office. On my work-from-home days, I am there to provide constant companionship and potty breaks throughout the day. For the days I am at the office, my schedule is highly predictable and structured, making it ideal for pets that are comfortable with a standard workday routine. No matter my schedule for the day, my evenings and weekends are completely free and dedicated 100% to long walks, fun playtime, and plenty of love! Safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I host pets in my home, I ensure a secure, escape-proof, and pet-friendly environment where your furry family member can feel completely relaxed. Here is how I guarantee a safe stay: Structured Supervision: Thanks to my flexible hybrid schedule, I am home several days a week, and even on my office days, my routine is highly predictable. I closely monitor all interactions, ensuring feeding and playtimes are always safe and managed. Introduction & Meet-and-Greets: I always schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand. This ensures your pet feels comfortable in my home and is a great match for our sweet senior dog, Topacio. Tailored Routines & Care: With my background as a Medical Assistant, I am extremely detail-oriented. I strictly follow your specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, and any special medication requirements to keep their days consistent. Daily Updates: I love sending frequent photos and updates so you can have total peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving lots of love.
“Bagel loved her time at Carine’s home. She had so much fun with the kids and other pups staying with them and slept good at home afterward. We got lots of pics which is so fun! Thanks for taking such great care of bagel!!!”
“Kara is absolutely amazing! Not only is she top notch! Her family is out of this world as well! I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for Leo to spend his days while I am at work.”
About: Looking for a trusted and loving caregiver to board your dog while you're away? Look no further! As a lifelong dog lover, I have always had furry companions by my side. From growing up with dogs to currently caring for my Pomeranian, I understand the importance of finding a trustworthy and reliable caregiver for your furry family member. Working from home allows me to devote plenty of attention to your dog's care. In addition to offering dog walking and drop-in services, I am excited to offer boarding services for your pup. You can rest assured that your furry friend will receive round-the-clock care and attention while staying with me. My availability for walks and drop-ins is on weekdays between 9-4, and I am happy to accept same-day requests when possible. While I typically require 1-day notice for scheduling, I am always willing to work with you to accommodate your needs. I pride myself on providing each dog in my care with undivided attention, ensuring that they are the only dog in my care during their stay. I have a large, unfenced yard where your dog can play and explore, always under close supervision while leashed. Let me be your go-to caregiver for all of your dog's needs, from walks and drop-ins to boarding services. Contact me today to schedule a meet-and-greet! I work from home so I can give your pup lots of attention. I am available for walks/drop ins weekdays between 9-4. I usually need 1 day notice in advance for scheduling but will accept same day requests if I am able. I will make sure your dog is the only one in my care. No double bookings! I have a large unfenced yard so they will be leashed at all times when outside the home.
About: Home full-time and just steps from miles of walking trails, your dog will enjoy plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship throughout the day. We currently have Loki, our friendly 5-year-old Golden Retriever, who loves other dogs, playing outside, and spending time with our two boys. Our boys absolutely love dogs and are gentle, affectionate, and excited to help make visiting dogs feel like part of the family. Boarding with us means your dog will be welcomed into a real home — not treated like just another booking. We only board one dog at a time, which allows us to give your dog plenty of attention, keep the environment calm, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. We do not have a fenced yard, but we have a large, wooded yard (.6 acres) where dogs can safely enjoy time outside on a lead. We also live right by a regional walking/biking trail, so frequent walks and outdoor time are easy and part of our routine. I am comfortable caring for all dogs, including senior dogs, rescue dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs who need a little extra patience or reassurance. I have experience giving medications, crate training, leash walking, basic obedience, and helping dogs settle into a new environment. I am active and outdoorsy, so dogs who enjoy walks, playtime, and being part of family life will fit in well here. For everyone’s safety and comfort, visiting dogs must be potty trained, kid-friendly, and non-aggressive. They do not need to be crate trained. We are not currently accepting puppies. Our goal is simple: to give your dog a safe, loving, active place to stay where they get the kind of care we would want for our own dog. My husband and I both work from home on alternating schedules, so caring for dogs are part of our normal daily rhythm. We are available throughout the day for potty breaks, attention, feeding, walks, and check-ins. We live right on a regional trail, which makes daily walks easy, and we also spend time outside in our large yard with dogs safely on a lead. Pet care naturally fits into our family routine — walks, playtime, downtime, and lots of love. Your dog can expect a warm, active family home with plenty of attention, outdoor time, and affection. Because we only board one guest dog at a time, your dog will get personalized care, a calm environment, and lots of time with our friendly Golden Retriever, Loki. We want dogs to feel comfortable, safe, and included while you are away. We have a large yard, but it is not fenced, so visiting dogs are always kept safe on a lead when outside. Our home includes two dog-loving boys and our friendly Golden, so visiting dogs should be kid-friendly, potty trained, and comfortable around another dog. We can crate your dog if that is part of their normal routine, but crate training is not required. We are happy to follow your dog’s feeding, medication, walking, and sleep routines as closely as possible to help them feel secure.
About: With 30 years of dog‑care experience, I’ve done it all—groomer’s apprentice, breeder house‑sitter, and professional treat‑dispenser. Your pup gets a work‑from‑home buddy, a fenced yard for maximum zoomies, and all the cuddles they can handle. Special needs? Meds? Extra attention? I’ve got it covered. Basically, your dog’s about to live their best life. Pet care fits naturally into my day because I work from home, so I’m able to give dogs consistent attention from morning to night. With 30 years of experience—including working as a groomer’s apprentice and house‑sitting for dog breeders—caring for pups is part of my everyday rhythm. I take regular breaks for potty trips, playtime, and zoomies in the fenced yard, and I offer both daycare and boarding, depending on what your pup needs. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I provide a secure home environment, a safely enclosed yard for outdoor fun, and plenty of cozy indoor spaces for rest and snuggles. I’m experienced with medications, special‑needs care, and senior pups, and I treat every dog like my own—patient, calm, and attentive. You can trust that your pup will receive reliable, loving care and a true home‑away‑from‑home experience.
“Kristen and her family welcomed Oreo as if he was their own dog. I felt confident that he was getting all the attention he needed. He got some love and exercise and a much welcomed break from his new little fur brother for the day. He is a fast eater, so still eats a lunch and that wasn't an issue at all for them. I know he would be happy to go back for a visit and some playtime with the kids anytime. Thanks for taking such great care of our big boy!”

About: I’ve been my neighborhoods designated dog sitter since I was 12 years old! I’m a lifelong dog lover and currently have two large, energetic rescue dogs of my own. I have hands-on experience with bully breeds, large and strong dogs, puppies, multi-dog households, crate training, leash manners, enrichment, basic grooming, and administering routine medications and supplements. I’m especially comfortable with active dogs and dogs with big personalities! I understand that every dog has different needs, boundaries, routines, and ways of communicating, and I’m happy to follow the training and structure you already use at home. I love walks, hiking, enrichment activities, playtime, and plenty of couch cuddles. I’m also comfortable with basic bathing and grooming, including dogs who need a little extra patience with baths. Safety is extremely important to me. I pay close attention to dog body language, introduce dogs carefully, separate dogs for meals and high-value treats when appropriate, and never assume that what works for one dog will work for another. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while they’re with me. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend plenty of time with the dogs in my care. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week, as well as daycare and boarding for dog-friendly dogs in my home. I have two dogs of my own, so caring for dogs, getting outside, and fitting plenty of play and enrichment into my day is already part of my normal routine! Safety and comfort are always my priority. I have two friendly, social dogs of my own, and I require a meet-and-greet before boarding or daycare to make sure everyone is comfortable together. I carefully supervise introductions and play, and I separate dogs for meals, chews, and other high-value items when needed. I have a large yard with an invisible fence that my own dogs use, but visiting dogs will always be physically secured outside with a leash or long line. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, crate schedule, feeding instructions, medications, and house rules. Dogs are always welcome on my furniture and beds unless you prefer otherwise!
“We just wrapped up our first day of doggy daycare with Jen, and we are so happy to have found such a wonderful family closeby with a fenced yard!!! Jen provided photos and updates throughout the day, which put me at ease. I love that her kids got to play with my dog as well. And I can tell my pup had a great time. We will be repeat customers for sure!!!”
“Moxxie loved his doggie day care visit. Annabelle was very kind and easy to work with. We got pictures and videos of Moxxie while we were away. Great place to take your loved ones when on the road away and wanting to stop by the Valley Fair for day. So convenient knowing my pet was cared for.”

“Ashley has been easy to work with, super timely, and great with our dog. I highly recommend her. Our shepherd/husky Max is an energetic guy and he instantly liked her. Max can sometimes be a handful, and this was no problem - Ashley’s a pro with big dogs. Max came back from his walks happy, smiley, and calm. Thanks Ashley for your care!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. With many years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. In 2019, I completed pet training courses to better understand animal behavior and puppy training. I'm experienced with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who require extra patience, attention, and gentle care. Whether your pet loves long walks, exploring local dog parks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with plenty of cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your furry family member is receiving dependable, loving care in an environment where every pet feels like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work from home three days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday), which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and walks throughout the day. On the two days I work in the office (Monday and Thursday), my fiancé and son are home by midday to check on our furry friends, give them attention, let them outside, and make sure they're comfortable. This means pets are never left alone for more than a few hours at a time. Our weekends are typically spent at home, giving us even more time for walks, playtime, trips to the dog park (if your pup enjoys them), and lots of love and affection. I strive to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. My home features a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. Inside, I have plenty of toys, cozy spaces to relax, and a calm, pet-friendly environment where they can feel right at home. I also live in a friendly, walkable neighborhood that's perfect for daily walks and outdoor enrichment. If your dog enjoys socializing and you're comfortable with it, I'm happy to take them to local dog parks for extra exercise and fun. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their regular routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet is unique, and I treat each one with the same love, patience, and care I'd give my own.
“Joey went above and beyond caring for our dog. We booked last minute for a 3 week trip. She was a new sitter for to us and we were apprehensive. She took great care of our dog. Even feeding him by hand to get him to eat. Communication was excellent.”
