“Elizabeth was patient, understanding, and amazing while taking care of my dog. She kept an eye on him and helped him socialize with her dogs. I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her!!”
“A wonderful family with a beautiful home! Truly cared for our dogs to have their space outside, comfort all around with the people in the family, comfort for sleeping, attentive to their nutrition needs, and updated us with pictures and videos with we love to see!!! Our Spock and Cosmo will definitely be coming here again 🥰. It was so nice knowing they were in great hands.”
“Our senior spaniel did great spending a long weekend at Holly's house. It was the first time was have done in-house boarding. We definitely prefer having our pup stay with Holly then in a traditional kennel.”
“Absolutely wonderful. This was Oliver's first time going to a pet sitter. I of course was worried but of course my worry was unwarranted. Oliver had a great time playing with the other dog and came home happy, healthy and exhausted from the ability to play and socialization that dogs need. I would recommend Drew without hesitation.”
“Michelle was fantastic with Juniper. Juniper is a super nervous dog and Michelle was very patient with her. Gave me plenty of updates knowing how nervous I was. Will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Jennifer took wonderful care of my dog while I was away, and I really appreciated how attentive and communicative she was throughout the stay. She sent daily updates, checked in about any concerns, and was very thoughtful when my dog didn’t want to eat the first day — which is normal for her in new environments. I also appreciated the time she took to have us come over beforehand so we could meet her and her dogs and make sure it was a good fit. She was responsive, caring, and clearly experienced with dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and would absolutely recommend her to others.”
“Very friendly people who made my Pom feel comfortable and happy. Great to have a very accessible backyard fence to roam and play with their two dogs. Someone home all the time. Great communication and photos each day.”
“For only being my second time leaving my 5 month old Saint Bernard out of my sight, I couldn't have been more comfortable and reassured that she would be taking care of and having a great time! Would highly suggest Dondee, and look forward to having cinnamon stay with her in the future!”
“We are beyond happy with Stevie’s stay. It felt like we were leaving her with family, not just boarding her at a strangers house. She was spoiled and loved on and it showed through the pictures that we got while away!”
“Wonderful family! Needed help watching our dog for 1.5 days over the Memorial Day weekend with less than a week to go and Erin and Brandon sure helped out! Communication was great throughout and even before the stay! Our anxious pup seemed at ease with everyone in the family from first meet and I could tell she was being well taken care of just from the pics. Everything about the stay was easy and I already told them that I’d be requesting them again in the near future!”
“Rebekah was so sweet to accommodate us for a last minute one-night stay and still offered a meet and greet time which we really appreciated. She was quick to reply to my texts and sent a few updates, pictures, and a video. We haven't left Beasley very often and we're always a bit anxious how she will do in an unfamiliar place so it was nice to get some confirmation that she was doing fine. We definitely recommend Rebekah and will be using her again!”
“Geezer loves going to Andrea. He particularly looks forward to all the new pups/dogs he will meet. He comes home exhausted and happy- exactly what you want your pup to be.”
“David was great to work with and we felt very comfortable leaving our pup in his hands. He consistently communicated with us providing updates which gave us peace of mind that Bo was in good company & care.”
“I've had great experiences with Rover, but Toni was exceptional! Communication and flexibility was outstanding. I can tell my 2 dogs were well cared for and loved. I definitely recommend Toni !!”
“Matt & Angela were amazing and couldn’t recommend them more! I have never left my dog, Jax, with anyone other than family while I was out of town. Finding someone I could trust, and love on him as their own was extremely important to me. Matt sent daily pictures and updates to me letting me know how Jax was doing and what he was up to or enjoying that day. Both Matt & Angela went above and beyond to make sure Jax was comfortable and well loved. We will definitely be booking again :)”

“Angelina was very prompt with her messaging. She was reliable as she showed up at the appropriate time and followed my pets care instructions exactly. I came home to find my furry friend properly cared for. I would use her again!”
About: I have always been around animals and have had pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and even birds. I really enjoy taking care of all animals and providing excellent service. My family has a bird, two shih tzus, and a cat. I have frequently been around bigger breeds as well so I am comfortable with any-sized pet. I have experience walking other people's dogs and pet sitting for family and family friends. I am busy this summer preparing for college in the fall, but I wanted something that I care about to fill some of my free time. I am also saving up for college expenses. I would love to make pet sitting/walking a major part of my life. I would be able to watch pets at the owners' home. I will be able to watch them overnight, and or come over to check on them as well as taking walks and playing with them.
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and have experience caring for family members’ cats while they were away. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, providing playtime and companionship, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I’m happy to adapt to their needs—whether they love attention and play or prefer a calmer, quieter approach. My goal is to give both you and your cat peace of mind while you’re apart.
About: I’ve always loved all animals and have experience caring for both cats and dogs! Whether it’s playtime, feeding, medication if needed, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own! I’m dependable, communicative, and committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away!
About: Pheonix, my now 9 year old cat is the love of my life. I understand what a cat needs whether that be cuddles during a nap or treats during playtime! Their subtle yet obvious cues of affection is what sets cats apart from any other animal and I admire and appreciate them so much!
About: I graduated college as a Veterinary Technician and I currently work at a vet clinic that deals with dogs, cats, and all exotic and caged pets! So I have the medical knowledge to keep your pet safe and the passionate heart to keep them happy! I love going for runs, walks, hikes, or also just cuddling and watching Netflix and giving scratches. I have an extra soft spot for senior pets that might need some special care or just a warm lap to know that someone is there for them. (Especially if they can’t see or hear) I’m a very calm and patient person. I’ve worked with the smallest teacup breeds to the 250+ pound, slobbery giant breeds. I’d love to treat your pet as my own!
“Jade took great care of Luna and Casper Kitty while they boarded with her. Both cats were comfortable and well looked after the entire time. She communicated with me daily and sent photos, which was so reassuring. I felt very confident leaving them in her care and would happily book Jade again!”

It will be a pleasure walking and caring for your pets! I am currently a stay at home Mom so my availability is very flexible.

I will love your pets like my own and give them plenty of exercise/love.
“Jennifer gave Roxie breakfast and dinner every day. I think my dog liked to play with kids and other dogs. They have a big yard, so she enjoyed in the yard. I think she had a good time there. I would like to use that dog care when we go to Rochester. Thank you very much!!”
“Michelle was great! She helped me out with a last minute request. Arlo had a great time staying at her place. I would definitely recommend boarding with her! Thank you so much Michelle :)”
“Matt and Angela took great care of my dog Osi! Osi and their dog, Alfie, had so much fun together. Osi is definitely looking forward to his next play date. Highly recommend Matt and Angela!”
“Rhea was so sweet & accommodating when our drop off time changed. Her communication was really wonderful- she kept me posted on how Luna was doing during her stay & responded quickly. Thanks so much!”
About: 🐾 Loving, Experienced Care You Can Trust Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly love. I have a deep passion for making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved—especially when their families are away. Before becoming a mom, I earned my Veterinary Technician degree and worked in veterinary clinics, gaining hands-on experience with animals of all ages and needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, providing basic first aid, monitoring pets for changes in behavior or health, and caring for animals who may need a little extra attention. I also have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, including my own 20-year-old Chihuahua. I understand that older pets often require patience, gentle care, and a little extra monitoring, and I’m happy to accommodate their individual routines and needs. I recently became a mom and am currently home with my baby, which gives me the wonderful opportunity to return to something I’ve always loved—caring for animals. I truly believe I was meant to nurture and care for animals, and I treat every pet who stays with me like they are part of my own family. 🐶 A Home Away From Home I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet behind. My goal is to make their stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Your dog will receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, exercise, and cuddles throughout their stay. We take daily walks and make sure each dog gets plenty of interaction and attention while also respecting their need for downtime and rest. I’m happy to send regular photos and updates so you can see how your pup is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away. Safety is extremely important to me. My personal dogs have their own separate area of the basement, so they remain completely separated from boarding pets. This allows me to provide a calm, controlled environment and carefully manage introductions and interactions. 🎓 Veterinary Experience + Training My veterinary background gives me an extra level of knowledge and confidence when caring for your pet. I’m comfortable following medication instructions and keeping a close eye on your pet’s overall well-being during their stay. One of my favorite things to do is work with and train dogs. I’ve put a lot of time into training my own dogs, and I’m often complimented on how well-behaved they are. If your dog is struggling with basic manners, training, or certain behavioral challenges, I’d be happy to help reinforce positive behaviors during their stay. Every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their personality, routine, comfort level, and individual needs. When your pup stays with me, they’re not just another boarding dog—they’re family. My goal is for you to leave feeling confident that your pet is safe, happy, loved, and receiving the same kind of care I would want for my own animals. 🐾❤️ I finished schooling to become a Vet Technician and than became pregnant. So currently I am at home with my 9 month old. I am eager to get back to caring for animals but also would like to spend time taking care of my daughter as well! Before your pet’s stay, I ask you to provide detailed information about their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, allergies, medical history, behavioral tendencies, and comfort preferences. I also like to know how your pet interacts with children, other dogs, and new environments, as well as any triggers, fears, or special instructions that will help them feel safe and comfortable.

About: -Small Pet Care As Well- I have extensive experience volunteering at animal shelters for years, along with personal pet care for individuals.

About: HELLO! I have been taking care of all kinds of dogs from pups to senior pets who have special needs. I have done stuff like this ever since I was in middle school. I am very flexible with my time. I do have a cat allergy but that won’t stop me from that either! I’m always here to help you’re best friend 😊 Im very flexible with my schedule for a couple months! I can do early mornings to late nights. I’m always able to help with anything! I’m very detail oriented and need straightforward instructions in order to properly care for a pet. The more straightforward the instructions the better! I treat any pet as if they were my own. Maybe a chance to spoil with my special frozen pet friendly watermelon slush for the hot summer days? Or a little trip to get a pup cup? My dogs are spoiled and I miss them so much so this would be a win-win for the both of us 🤣
