“Frank and Clarissa were great! They’re responsive and attentive and provided excellent updates. We were glad to have them watch our dog without any concern or incident while away.”

“Kiersa did a great job. Boodles was a bit anxious when we left but she was able to settle her down. When it was time for Bed, Boodles didn't want to leave sight of the front door and so Kiersa snuggled in and slept with Boodles on the couch. We will use her again, she’s very sweet”

“Jeremiah and family are so caring and loving with our dear dog!! Started with daycare 3 nights and moved on to boarding for 6 nights!! Our doodle was very well loved and taken care of. Highly recommend this family!”

“Miranda did a great job with our pup, nice meet and greet which made us feel good about where he was staying. Very dog friendly and comfortable. We asked for daily pictures and that was no problem. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”

“Carine & her family took care of my Zeus, and I would definitely recommend. She sent updates, photos, and little videos at a regular basis to let me know how he was doing. He was happy & comfortable with them, and I would rebook. Thanks so much!”

“As new pup parents, we were hesitant about leaving our 8-month old dog for the week, but Regina was so fantastic. Scout was well cared for and very much enjoyed her time in Regina's home. Regina set up a meet and greet so we could connect before our trip and Scout got to sniff around and get comfortable in her home. She catered her care and routine specifically to Scout's needs and we were so grateful for updates throughout Scout's stay; it gave us piece of mind knowing she was having a blast in Regina's care. We are looking forward to our next trip, knowing Scout will be in good hands with Regina. :)”

“Stacey was absolutely AMAZING! This was my first time leaving Rocky and he did really well. Stacey kept me informed daily and sent pictures. She did such a great job with my furbaby. There is absolutely no doubt that I would use her services again. Stacey will take care of your pet as if it were her own. I would give her 10 stars if I could.”

“Our dog Milly had another great stay with Kate! Kate does such a great job caring our our pup. It is truly a blessing to have her caring for our dog when we leave town. We get daily updates on how she is doing and Milly always gets more exercise with Kate than at home! Can’t say enough good things about our experiences with Kate!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Kimberly & John! Great communication and we loved all the pictures of Oakley having fun while we were gone. He seemed to fit right in and was so well loved. We'll be booking again!”


“Valerie & her family were so good with our energetic mini-golden doodle, we’re super grateful for their great care of him! their fenced in back yard is terrific for dogs, there’s usually someone home with the dog & our dog seemed super happy there.”

“Cherie took great care of our tiny puppy! She was responsive and kept us updated daily with photos and more. She made our pup feel at home and we felt so safe leaving our dog in her care with lots of walks and potty breaks. We highly recommend Cherie and will be using her again!!!”

“Thank you so much Alicia and Simon for taking care of Milo. it looks like he had great time at your house playing with Teddy and Daisy. Thank you so much for taking him out for a walk daily. Milo enjoys outside walk. Mamatha”

“Once again, Lindy and Seth provided the best care for our cat while we were on vacation. The rover reports, pictures, and additional messages are so comforting while we are away. My cat loves Lindy so much, which is a godsend since she can be pretty finicky. She gives her lots of pets and brushes too. We are so grateful for them!”
“Paige is incredible! She took such good care of my kitties and I had zero concerns being away from them. She was great with bringing in packages so they would not sit out all week. She played with the kitties, gave them lots of attention, and kept me updated every step of the way! I will for sure use Paige again to watch my kitties and highly recommend her for anyone else looking for a kind, caring, communicative, and all around amazing kitty sitter!”

About: Savannah here! I have three dogs and an orange kitty. I’ve been around animals my entire life and absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for senior dogs and pets that may need a little extra patience, attention, and love. I’ve also been around dog breeding for 10+ years, which has given me experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to provide care that fits their needs! My services include: •30 minute dog walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood to help your pup get fresh air, exercise, and a little adventure during the day. •30 minute drop-ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of love to make sure your pet is comfortable while you're gone. You can book up to three drop-ins per day! Every pet is different, so I’m always happy to accommodate extra needs or customize visits to fit your pet’s routine. My availability is flexible, feel free to reach out with your preferred dates and times! • I always offer a (free) 10-minute meet-and-greet before any drop-in or walking service. This gives us a chance to meet, helps your pet get familiar with me, and lets us go over their routine and any other needs. Meet-and-greets are not required to book with me, they are simply available if you’d like a little extra comfort and peace of mind before our first visit!
“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.”


“Catherine was wonderful with our cats! Patient, attentive and sent sweet daily updates and pictures. She eased our worries while being away and provided lots of comfort for our boys. Thank you Catherine ♥️”

“I've booked with Heidi multiple times and she's been amazing every time. She's reliable, sends lots of photos and updates, and always gives me peace of mind while I'm away. I know Cloudy is in great hands with her and I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again!”

About: I have been dog and cat sitting for over 10yrs. I usually stay at the owners house. Experienced with dogs with medical issues, and high anxiety. I have given medications and have done some training. I have done just overnight stays, but have also done 3month long stays. I am also a Hairstylist and Skin care specialist. I rent a chair at a salon and make my own schedule, so my hours are flexable. I enjoy spending time with pets, but just don't live in a place were I can have one. I am not married and have no children, so I am completely available and focused on your pet. I usually like to meet you and your pet/pets about 1week before the scheduled appointment, so I can get to know you, your pet and your pets routine, feeding times, walking, medications if needed, etc. This also helps the dog recognize me when I show up, when you aren't there.
About: Experience raising a puppy. I cater to pups of all sizes and energy levels. My dog is not in a crate but we did crate train him I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to work from home most days. I anm available for potty breaks, walks, snuggles, or playing fetch. I have a large, unfenced yard but I do have a long lead we can use if necessary. I can use a crate if your dog is crate trained. I’m familiar to and accommodating of specialty diets. Rico and I love walks and running at the dog park down the road!

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.
“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.”


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.

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.
“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!”

“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!!!”

“Ryker loved his day staycation with Kate, John and Cash. He was a tired, happy pup that evening. He will stay for a long weekend coming up soon. I am sure he is going to have a great time.”

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. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing and getting belly rubs, I’ll make sure they get the attention they deserve. I’m responsible, communicative, and happy to send photo updates so you always know how your dog is doing. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and having fun while you’re away! 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! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company.Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, and routines. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
“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.”

“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: 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: 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.
“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!”

“Kiersa did a great job. Boodles was a bit anxious when we left but she was able to settle her down. When it was time for Bed, Boodles didn't want to leave sight of the front door and so Kiersa snuggled in and slept with Boodles on the couch. We will use her again, she’s very sweet”

“Jeremiah and family are so caring and loving with our dear dog!! Started with daycare 3 nights and moved on to boarding for 6 nights!! Our doodle was very well loved and taken care of. Highly recommend this family!”

“Miranda did a great job with our pup, nice meet and greet which made us feel good about where he was staying. Very dog friendly and comfortable. We asked for daily pictures and that was no problem. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”

“Carine & her family took care of my Zeus, and I would definitely recommend. She sent updates, photos, and little videos at a regular basis to let me know how he was doing. He was happy & comfortable with them, and I would rebook. Thanks so much!”

“As new pup parents, we were hesitant about leaving our 8-month old dog for the week, but Regina was so fantastic. Scout was well cared for and very much enjoyed her time in Regina's home. Regina set up a meet and greet so we could connect before our trip and Scout got to sniff around and get comfortable in her home. She catered her care and routine specifically to Scout's needs and we were so grateful for updates throughout Scout's stay; it gave us piece of mind knowing she was having a blast in Regina's care. We are looking forward to our next trip, knowing Scout will be in good hands with Regina. :)”

“Our dog Milly had another great stay with Kate! Kate does such a great job caring our our pup. It is truly a blessing to have her caring for our dog when we leave town. We get daily updates on how she is doing and Milly always gets more exercise with Kate than at home! Can’t say enough good things about our experiences with Kate!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Kimberly & John! Great communication and we loved all the pictures of Oakley having fun while we were gone. He seemed to fit right in and was so well loved. We'll be booking again!”


“Valerie & her family were so good with our energetic mini-golden doodle, we’re super grateful for their great care of him! their fenced in back yard is terrific for dogs, there’s usually someone home with the dog & our dog seemed super happy there.”

“Thank you so much Alicia and Simon for taking care of Milo. it looks like he had great time at your house playing with Teddy and Daisy. Thank you so much for taking him out for a walk daily. Milo enjoys outside walk. Mamatha”

“Ember had so much fun with Abigail! She picked up and dropped her off for us which was so helpful. She’s very good at sending updates throughout the stay and asking questions if needed. Would highly recommend and will be using her again!”


“Kyle is our go to Rover sitter. He is incredible with our Memengwaa. She always comes back exhausted, happy, and a little reluctant to leave Kyle and her bestie, Sohka.”

“Our dog Rio had a BLAST with Rachelle and Dan. They were very detailed oriented when it came to Rio’s special needs. They also sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Definitely will book again!”

“Our dog had a great stay with Vanessa and Andrew’s family. I got a bunch of pictures, great communication and a happy dog when I picked her up. We will be back soon! Thank you!!”

“Kim and John were great! It was our first time leaving our puppy somewhere while we were out of town and we could not be happier that we found them. Axel had a blast, we got plenty of updates (which we greatly appreciate) and he was very well taken care of :)”

“Bill went above and beyond taking care of our dog. Lots of walks, treats and snuggles. He kept us updated and sent lots of photos. Bill has great, positive energy. We will be sure to use him again.”

“Beth did a wonderful job taking care of Ginger! Ginger came home very happy! Communication was great! Love the photos she sent. I would definitely leave Ginger with Beth again!”

“Brittany and her husband were GREAT!! She watched our dog Tucker for a few days while we were moving. She kept us up to date on how he was doing, and followed all of our instructions caring for him. We really appreciated her flexibility in timing dropping him off and picking him up - we unexpectedly needed to extend our booking an extra night, and was happy to accommodate this last-minute. I recommend Brittany without reservation - we'll definitely be re-booking in the future!”
