“I have nothing but great things to say about our experience with Ana and her family! She was great at giving me updates and photos of how things were going for my baby Arlo! I definitely recommend them and I will be using Ana and her family whenever I need someone to take care of Arlo again!”
“Kari was super easy to set everything up with! She was great with our dogs! One of our dogs rarely eats when we board her but she ate for Kari! They both came home happy and tired girls! Highly recommend!”
“The fact that my extremely anxious dog did not immediately run to the door when I arrived for pick up tells me everything I need to know about how well she was cared for. She found herself a second family in the span of 3 days!!!”
“Darian was amazing. We used her for a 2 week vacation and we are so grateful to have found her. We will definitely use her again. She taught our puppy how to walk on a leash, which he was struggling with before we dropped him off. We received daily updates, photos and videos, and never had to worry about him being cared for, loved on and played with.”
“Finley seemed so happy and calm when we picked him up that I knew he wasn’t stressed while we were away. He got to be outside just as much as he does at home. We don’t travel north often but would be glad to send him back ☺️”
“Mochi spent a full week with Carine and her family, and it went very well. Communication was excellent - Carine was attentive to all the details we shared and very responsive via text. We received updates throughout each day and during our trip, which we really appreciated. My kids loved seeing photos and updates of Mochi playing and cuddling with her kids. He was truly treated like one of their own, and it was clear how much he was loved, he will genuinely be missed by their family. Carine was also thoughtful about managing energy levels when another dog was staying at the same time and always checked in first. We felt completely comfortable leaving Mochi in her care and would absolutely use her again.”
“Brandi and her family were AMAZING! The communication was great, the pictures, the many walks, the care they provided our puppy was everything we could have hoped for and more. Wonderful experience, we just booked another stay with Brandi’s family for this fall!”
“Frank and Clarissa were amazing. They sent us pictures, let us know how our dog was doing and kept us at ease. Our dog can be a little shy when he first meets people and they made him feel like part of their family. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda was so great! She really listened to the things I wanted for Sadie and was so flexible with my needs and schedule. Her kids and dogs are also great. Sadie warmed up to them very quickly and I know she had a great time. Will definitely book 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!”
About: As a former Kennel Supervisor, Kennel Attendant and Certified Pet Care Professional, I've got years of experience working with pets both in private homes as well as boarding/daycare facilities. I'm super familiar with dogs, but have also cared for more cats than I can remember- and even some rats! I was previously certified in Animal (canine and feline) CPR through the Red Cross as well as trained in basic diagnostics for medical emergencies. I'm comfortable administering various medications to both cats and dogs, including oral, topical, and intravenous medicine. I've cared for kittens, puppies, dogs of every size, temperamental animals, and quite a few senior dogs and cats. Special diets and or feeding rituals are just fine with me, every animal is different. I'll be the first to let you know if I don't think I'm the right fit for your pet, but I'm always willing to do a meet and greet with a client. Other than drop-ins to feed, water, change litter boxes and play for awhile, I walk dogs (weather permitting) and can potentially board canines in my home if they get along with my own pups. *I can pass a background check and provide references upon request* Most weekdays I'm available to drop in to homes prior to 2pm, but this can change due to the needs of in home daycare or dogs I'm boarding. Feel free to inquire about whatever services you need, I'll do my best to work with you! If you board with me the routine for my dogs is always the same- they get fed right around 6am and 6pm, with bathroom breaks immediately after, and then as needed throughout the day. Walks (if requested) usually occur around midday, with occasional trips down to the River Valley (a mile from my house) if the weather is nice enough to explore the nature preserve. After dinner I try to make sure everyone is comfortable enough to wind down for the evening, but we can still play indoors if we need to. Dogs are welcome to sleep in crates or in our own bed, as long as there's room! For drop-ins or dog walking services, I'll always bring my own first aid supplies (styptic powder, liquid bandage, tick removers, hydrocortisone spray, gauze etc.) and if none are provided, I have cleaning supplies for accidents as well. If your pet is allergic to any cleaners or first aid products please let me know. I'm always respectful of clients homes and privacy, and am happy to send you a picture of your pet during an appointment for full transparency, whether I'm walking your dog or babysitting them! I also totally understand if you have cameras in your home, I do as well. If you board or book a daycare service in my home, please know I have 2 "medium" "pittie" mixes- (they're just mutts with less hair) Panda is 5 and a beagle mix (50lbs F/S), and Peanut (60lbs M/N) is about 15 and a boxer mix. Panda is incredibly well socialized and LOVES fetch. Peanut is socialized but is very much an old man who prefers to sleep on the couch... like all the time. They've each had numerous foster brothers and sisters of all sizes, and are e-collar trained, so behavior on their end should never be an issue for your dog. I have a split level home that can securely board multiple dogs, and house them depending on their needs. I also have a fenced in deck, but not yard, though we have about a 1/4 acre lot in a quiet residential area and are working on making a dog run! Any boarding dog would be taken out to potty on a leash, preferably with a harness provided by the owner. I have a crate large enough for most (80lbs~) big dogs, but I'd still recommend bringing your own if possible. The only other person present in my home would be my husband, who possibly loves dogs even more than me(?) and is always happy to play with them! I'll never have strangers or children present in our home while your pet is staying with us.
“Melissa and her family were great. She was easy to book with and very accommodating with all of our requests. Our dachshund, Squatch, came home happy and tired from a weekend of playing and cuddles. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Amazing Care for Our High-Energy Doodle Puppy! We couldn't have been happier with the care Jeremiah provided for our energetic doodle puppy during his three-day stay. Finding someone who can handle a young, high-energy dog is crucial, and Jeremiah exceeded all our expectations. Their home is incredibly clean and nice, and the fenced backyard was perfect for our puppy to burn off steam safely. It was a huge bonus that they have their own sweet doodle—our guy had an absolute blast making a new friend and getting constant companionship! Communication was prompt and reassuring. We received updates and very cute pictures via text throughout the stay, which made us feel completely at ease. They took him on multiple walks and ensured he received excellent care and attention the entire time. Overall, our puppy truly enjoyed his stay, and we are totally satisfied. We will absolutely be repeat customers and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and fun home for their dog!”
“Bethany and her family take such good care of our dogs. They are treated as though they are part of their family. I highly recommend them to take care of anyone's dog. It is always a great sign when we turn on their road and they realize where they are going and get so excited! You will not be disappointed at all.”
“We were really happy we went with Andrew for Teddys stay. He was great when we dropped Teddy off, let us come in and see the place and got to see how Teddy did with their dog. While we were gone, we received daily updates and could tell Teddy looked happy which makes leaving easier! We would use Andrew again”
“Amazing, Andrea treats Monty like he’s one of her own dogs. She gives us updates promptly about how Monty is enjoying his time with her and her family! He absolutely loves going there!”

“Amy is the absolute best. She is so kind to our kitty and goes above and beyond to play with him, give us thorough reports and photos and just loves on our beloved kitty so much when we can’t be there. We are very lucky to have her!!!”
“Bailey did a great job dropping in on our cat while we were on vacation. She sent one or two photos each day with a few words about how Spock was doing, and I didn't have to worry about him at all. I really appreciated being able to find someone through Rover who was background-checked and trustworthy. Will definitely keep Bailey in mind for future trips.”
“Sarah is amazing!! My cat can be slow to warm up to new people and she did all of the right things so he’d be comfortable with her while we were gone. She was so communicative and really eased our mind. I’d highly recommend Sarah, she’s incredible!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats ever since I could remember. I have always owned cats with my family. I currently own two cats that I take very care of. I have also helped take care of friends cats when they are away. I like to follow the rules, so if there are certain things you would like me to do, I will follow through with that.
“Rose was so kind. I’d forgotten to set up the door code for her and after failed attempts to reach me she went back later in the day once we connected. Thanks for going the extra mile.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both personal ownership and years of helping friends and family with their pets. I am a dog owner myself, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and individualized care. Over the years, I’ve regularly watched friends’ dogs, providing house sitting, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs, maintaining schedules, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize clear communication with owners for peace of mind. I’m a part-time student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, playtime, and house sitting, and I prioritize sticking to your pet’s normal routine. I care for pets in their own home by following their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: I have taken care of dogs and horses and absolutely enjoy making sure they feel safe and loved. Pets bring so much joy and comfort. I hope to do the same for the pets I am watching. I'm currently working part-time, so I am available for more time. My son is off to the Marines, so I can stay at the client's house. This love for pet sitting began when my friends asked me to take care of their animals while they were on. vacation I prefer the pets at the client's house, where they feel more comfortable. Building trust with pets is key; they feel safe and secure while parents are gone. I will communicate with you as well as you see fit when you are gone to ensure you are happy and safe.
About: I’ve grown up around cats my entire life and currently have two of my own, so I understand that every cat has a unique personality and routine. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 16 and have experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments. Whether your cat loves to play or prefers quiet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep litter boxes clean, follow feeding and medication instructions, and send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind.
About: I've had cats in my life since I was a baby and care for 3 of my own. My cat Luna who has now passed was THAT animal in my life, if you know what I mean. I raised her from 3 weeks old and taught her to play fetch, do some basic commands, and to walk on a leash. She needed me to give her milk for several weeks, and care for her 24/7 when she came into my life. So I am no stranger to special needs cats/kittens. I've even provided end of life care to my grandmother's cat which included injections and oral medication and cleaning her body when she had accidents. So whether you need me to come cuddle your purr baby, give them a walk, help raise kittens while you're away on a work trip, play, or even scoop litter for an extra fee, I will be there, enthusiastically, to provide the upmost care for your cat.
About: I have several years of dog and house-sitting experience through word-of-mouth referrals, caring for pets during trips ranging from a few days to a week and a half. I strive to find what works for each pet as an individual. I have experience caring for elderly dogs, administering oral medication, and working with multiple pets. I’ve cared for a range of dogs—from picky eaters and nervous, anxious dogs that preferred a consistent schedule and energetic dogs with mischievous streaks. Working with such different dogs has helped me become flexible and responsive to a wide range of temperaments and care requirements. Past clients have repeatedly trusted me with their pets and homes, and many have returned for additional bookings. Through these experiences, I have followed detailed care instructions, monitored pets for changes in behavior, provided excercise and affection, maintained a safe environment, and communicated reliably with owners. This means that when a situation is worrisome, I will err on the side of caution as well as informing you. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away and for you to feel secure your pets are safe and in responsible, good hands. As a college student home for the summer, I’m currently working part-time, and my hours are somewhat inconsistent (with a trend towards more availability in the evenings), however taking time off would be no problem for me should it be required, given there’s sufficient advance notice. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always prioritize following any provided instructions and established routines. In this respect, I especially appreciate detailed care notes, as they help me provide the most consistent and personalized care possible. Every pet is different, and I believe clients know their pets best. At the same time, I use good judgment and common-sense safety practices to ensure pets remain safe, healthy, and comfortable while their parents are away. I am patient, attentive, and observant, and I make it a priority to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and needs. Whatever that means, I aim to adapt my care to what will help each pet feel most at ease. I also value staying in contact with pet parents throughout their time away, as much as their availability and preferences allow. Regular updates help provide peace of mind to everyone, and if any questions or unexpected situations arise, I can communicate promptly so clients stay informed and involved in decisions regarding their pet's care. My goal is to create a safe and familiar environment where pets can thrive and clients can feel confident that their pets and homes are being well cared for.

“Kamiya was great with Cooper. Communication was a big part of that. She sent photos of him knowing i would muss him, and expressed concerns of him not eating, which is typical for him so i just asked her to give him some of his lick em treats, which she did. He seems very comfortable with her. Will ask her to watch him in the future.”

“Ana and her family were absolutely amazing! It’s clear that they truly understand how important our dogs are to us. Ana’s communication was unparalleled. She sent frequent updates with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while Oreo was with them. Oreo loved playing with their sweet pup Bailey in their securely fenced yard and soaking up all the loving pets from the whole family. It was obvious that they genuinely love dogs and treat their visitors like part of the family. I also really appreciated the chance to do a meet and greet ahead of time so Oreo and Bailey could meet and make sure they were a good play match. I would feel completely comfortable having Oreo stay with them again anytime, and I know he would be thrilled to go back. I won’t hesitate to reach out next time he needs some playtime and extra snuggles!”
About: I work remotely in marketing full time. We’re very grateful to have a nice home with a wonderful, large, fenced-in backyard that allows the dogs to go potty in and explore (bark!). My availability and hours are very flexible and the dogs are rarely left alone or kenneled, they are free to roam the house, I just close doors as necessary. I have never owned a dog of my own, I just grew up around dogs and cats. Mainly and most recently, it was a sisters two dogs our family spent the most time around: Gibbs (15 lb., 13 yr old, male Jack Russell Terrier & Beagle mix) and Zero (65 lb., 5 yr old, male Standard Poodle). I would basically Rover for her and her husband, which including giving the senior, anxiety-ridden dog meds (he didn’t enjoy, he would spit them up). We enjoyed being outdoors and evening walks around the neighborhood and having them a part of our family. They have then since moved to the West coast with their dogs. I work remotely and am blessed with the work-life balance it offers. I have an energetic elementary school-aged daughter. She's an empath and truly cares for all animals wellbeing! She's deeply concerned about any discomfort or distress. We have a dog-friendly orange cat named Buddy (4). He's fed first thing in the AM and enjoys chin scratches. He stays nearby me in my office or does his own thing. My daughter buses to and from school and I take a hour lunch at noon, then am done at 5 PM and we go about our evening routine. Dogs go out every few hours (sliding patio door) to the fenced in yard or when they signal me. Right in the morning and before bed. I try to get as much activity in for us as possible, especially on decent weather days. We utilize a nearby parks, dog park and walking trails in our community. Having the dogs here really motivate me to go for more walks, the dogs love them and I appreciate the eager walking company. I also live with my younger sister (23). She works full time 2 jobs as a CNA/retail, isn't home much but does help me care for the dogs, such as a short walk around the block. Our home is a 4 bed, 3 level split with a finished basement. It has a large secure, fully-fenced in yard and the property has 11 trees. Garage is attached. We all sleep in the upstairs bedrooms which is also where my office is. I have 2 litter boxes for my cat, one in garage that he prefers. The other is in the basement bathroom, where I can keep the door shut (Ive caught sisters dog eating litter covered turds). Our neighborhood is very safe and quiet. I have a reflective sash I wear out at night (this summer I was nearly ran over by an SUV when it was dark). The dogs usually sleep on the floor in my room and it's OK if they sleep on the bed, I am not concerned about fur. If the dog stinks, I can give them a bath either downstairs in the wash tub or upstairs in the bathtub. If they stay longer and start to stink, I will bathe them, because everyone feels better after a bath.

About: I’ve had dogs of my own over the years and have raised them from puppies, so I’m very familiar with all stages of a dog’s life from training and high-energy puppy behavior to the needs of adult and senior dogs. I’ve also personally fostered two daschund dogs for several years while a friend went through a difficult transition, caring for them full-time until she was able to find pet-friendly housing. That experience really deepened my understanding of long-term, committed pet care. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds from larger dogs like Boxers to small breeds like Boston Terriers, Dachshunds, and Yorkies. I truly love them all and adjust my care based on each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just companionship, I focus on making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home Monday–Friday, which gives me flexibility for walks, feedings, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. My availability is open, and I’m also available most weekends. At my home, I provide a safe, family-friendly environment where pets are cared for like part of the family. I have a 10-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy, so I always ensure interactions are supervised and safe for both the pets and children. I follow each pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while staying in my home.
“When our normal sitter for our 18 year old dog was unavailable we selected Dayjah to fill in. As our dog is old, we are very protective with him. We spike with Dayjah on the phone first. It was clear that she not only was very knowledgeable about about pet care, but even more important, she loved animals. Our dog did fantastic with Dayjah. Infact, he did not seem to want to leave when we picked him up. Dayjah has my highest recommendation in providing safe and loving care for your pet!”
“Our dogs had a wonderful time with Emily and her family. Emily was a great communicator all the way through and our boys were very well cared for and loved. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Amanda is an AMAZING dog sitter! She took such good care of our puppy. I was so nervous to leave my puppy for the first time but Amanda did a great job keeping me informed on her day and made me very comfortable. Will definitely be going here again!”
“Elizabeth cared for our Corgi and Cockapoo for two days while we were visiting the area. Our girls had so much fun with Elizabeth and her two daughters. We will absolutely book with her again.”
“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!!!”
About: I have fostered any age dog for 3 years! Have a dog of my own for 10 and grew up on a farm with many dogs and cats. Also going to school for a vet tech. I can take on a couple dogs or cats any day of the week. Someone is always home. Have 7 people in the house with 4 adults and 3 teens. I have a fenced yard and a dog friend to play with. Also have 6 other people i. My home to help out. Am very good at calming animals and have reiki experience with animals.
About: I am a loving and dependable person; a wife and stay-at-home mom of 3 children. I live in a smoke-free environment with three responsible, independent children that adore animals. I have had past experience with pets but have none in our home at this time. This leaves room for lots of attention and love for the dogs I care for. With attention to detail accompanied by a fun-loving family, I would provide a safe and caring place for your fur-baby! I homeschool, as a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to be available most days, having time to care for your pet as needed. Need to travel for the holidays? I am a home-body during most special seasons and may be available to watch your pet. I have a fenced in back yard with ample space to move around. I live in a smaller, quieter development with lots of dog-loving neighbors! I am willing to administer needed medications (oral and topical) per pet's daily protocol.

About: I absolutely love dogs of all breeds. I am very familiar with the “bully breeds”, and larger breed dogs. I love cuddles and exploring, playing with toys, and meeting new friends at doggy parks. Working from home allows me to not have to leave your babies home alone for more than a couple of hours if I need to do errands. My 12yr old loves all animals and is willing to keep your babies active or relax and lay around. We can be a very active household, but we like to have a relax day here and there as well. Our favorite time of day is walking or running outdoors. We are pleased to have any age dog around! When your pup is with me, they will be loved and treated as if they have been in the home with us their entire life. I currently work from home so have plenty of flexibility. We have a big yard with plenty of pup toys, we are very observant and make sure everyone is doing good at all times. I am a dog trainer as well so know a lot of different skills to work with most dogs.
“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!!!”
“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!”
“Coco spent her first day with Sonja, Adam & their pups. I felt completely comfortable leaving her with them. They are personable, warm, & kind. They are clearly, comfortable & knowledgeable about dogs. Coco made herself at home within the first five minutes she was in their home, and had not a care when I left. She clearly had a blast playing with everyone. The pictures tell a story of a happy, relaxed dog who had a boat load of fun, & went home tired. Thank you Sonja & Adam.”
“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!”

About: I work with all different kinds of dogs anything from puppies to senior dogs. I have token puppy training classes and know the basics and I have cared for meny senior dogs. Helping with stairs and special diet. I have worked with animals that have diabetes and skin conditions. I offer a team of people me and my Boyfriend work together to offer the best dog care. My daughter even helps out where she can. Our goal is to make sure your dogs are getting the best care we can officer so you don't have to worry why you are away I fall the somethings you do if you kennel them to baby gates you have up around the house. Its important to me to fall the same safety measures that you do when your not home.
About: When it comes to animals, I love them all. I have extensive experience working with animals especially at a non profit no kill rescue that is unique giving everyone a chance no matter if they need high amounts of medical care. With that background, I'm comfortable caring for cats and dogs with medical needs, of all ages. I am most comfortable with small and medium dogs that are easy going and like going for walks! I work remote from home and have flexibility to adjust as needed for weekdays and weekends. I do need advance planning for anything more than a drop in. It's deeply personal to come into someone's home and care for their fur baby, I understand completely! Part of the planning process involves asking questions about your needs, preferences, expectations so we are in the same page!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through both personal ownership and years of helping friends and family with their pets. I am a dog owner myself, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and individualized care. Over the years, I’ve regularly watched friends’ dogs, providing house sitting, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs, maintaining schedules, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize clear communication with owners for peace of mind. I’m a part-time student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, playtime, and house sitting, and I prioritize sticking to your pet’s normal routine. I care for pets in their own home by following their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: As a former Kennel Supervisor, Kennel Attendant and Certified Pet Care Professional, I've got years of experience working with pets both in private homes as well as boarding/daycare facilities. I'm super familiar with dogs, but have also cared for more cats than I can remember- and even some rats! I was previously certified in Animal (canine and feline) CPR through the Red Cross as well as trained in basic diagnostics for medical emergencies. I'm comfortable administering various medications to both cats and dogs, including oral, topical, and intravenous medicine. I've cared for kittens, puppies, dogs of every size, temperamental animals, and quite a few senior dogs and cats. Special diets and or feeding rituals are just fine with me, every animal is different. I'll be the first to let you know if I don't think I'm the right fit for your pet, but I'm always willing to do a meet and greet with a client. Other than drop-ins to feed, water, change litter boxes and play for awhile, I walk dogs (weather permitting) and can potentially board canines in my home if they get along with my own pups. *I can pass a background check and provide references upon request* Most weekdays I'm available to drop in to homes prior to 2pm, but this can change due to the needs of in home daycare or dogs I'm boarding. Feel free to inquire about whatever services you need, I'll do my best to work with you! If you board with me the routine for my dogs is always the same- they get fed right around 6am and 6pm, with bathroom breaks immediately after, and then as needed throughout the day. Walks (if requested) usually occur around midday, with occasional trips down to the River Valley (a mile from my house) if the weather is nice enough to explore the nature preserve. After dinner I try to make sure everyone is comfortable enough to wind down for the evening, but we can still play indoors if we need to. Dogs are welcome to sleep in crates or in our own bed, as long as there's room! For drop-ins or dog walking services, I'll always bring my own first aid supplies (styptic powder, liquid bandage, tick removers, hydrocortisone spray, gauze etc.) and if none are provided, I have cleaning supplies for accidents as well. If your pet is allergic to any cleaners or first aid products please let me know. I'm always respectful of clients homes and privacy, and am happy to send you a picture of your pet during an appointment for full transparency, whether I'm walking your dog or babysitting them! I also totally understand if you have cameras in your home, I do as well. If you board or book a daycare service in my home, please know I have 2 "medium" "pittie" mixes- (they're just mutts with less hair) Panda is 5 and a beagle mix (50lbs F/S), and Peanut (60lbs M/N) is about 15 and a boxer mix. Panda is incredibly well socialized and LOVES fetch. Peanut is socialized but is very much an old man who prefers to sleep on the couch... like all the time. They've each had numerous foster brothers and sisters of all sizes, and are e-collar trained, so behavior on their end should never be an issue for your dog. I have a split level home that can securely board multiple dogs, and house them depending on their needs. I also have a fenced in deck, but not yard, though we have about a 1/4 acre lot in a quiet residential area and are working on making a dog run! Any boarding dog would be taken out to potty on a leash, preferably with a harness provided by the owner. I have a crate large enough for most (80lbs~) big dogs, but I'd still recommend bringing your own if possible. The only other person present in my home would be my husband, who possibly loves dogs even more than me(?) and is always happy to play with them! I'll never have strangers or children present in our home while your pet is staying with us.
“Joanna walked our pup twice a day for five days while we were away. She was punctual, communicative, and my mom told us by day two Toad got excited every time Joanna came by. Really appreciate her professionalism and care for our boy!”
“Kayla was great. Was on time, took the pups on a nice long walk, sent a few pictures, and communicated with me when she picked them up and dropped them off. Will definitely be reaching out for here services again.”
About: I have several years of dog and house-sitting experience through word-of-mouth referrals, caring for pets during trips ranging from a few days to a week and a half. I strive to find what works for each pet as an individual. I have experience caring for elderly dogs, administering oral medication, and working with multiple pets. I’ve cared for a range of dogs—from picky eaters and nervous, anxious dogs that preferred a consistent schedule and energetic dogs with mischievous streaks. Working with such different dogs has helped me become flexible and responsive to a wide range of temperaments and care requirements. Past clients have repeatedly trusted me with their pets and homes, and many have returned for additional bookings. Through these experiences, I have followed detailed care instructions, monitored pets for changes in behavior, provided excercise and affection, maintained a safe environment, and communicated reliably with owners. This means that when a situation is worrisome, I will err on the side of caution as well as informing you. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away and for you to feel secure your pets are safe and in responsible, good hands. As a college student home for the summer, I’m currently working part-time, and my hours are somewhat inconsistent (with a trend towards more availability in the evenings), however taking time off would be no problem for me should it be required, given there’s sufficient advance notice. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always prioritize following any provided instructions and established routines. In this respect, I especially appreciate detailed care notes, as they help me provide the most consistent and personalized care possible. Every pet is different, and I believe clients know their pets best. At the same time, I use good judgment and common-sense safety practices to ensure pets remain safe, healthy, and comfortable while their parents are away. I am patient, attentive, and observant, and I make it a priority to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and needs. Whatever that means, I aim to adapt my care to what will help each pet feel most at ease. I also value staying in contact with pet parents throughout their time away, as much as their availability and preferences allow. Regular updates help provide peace of mind to everyone, and if any questions or unexpected situations arise, I can communicate promptly so clients stay informed and involved in decisions regarding their pet's care. My goal is to create a safe and familiar environment where pets can thrive and clients can feel confident that their pets and homes are being well cared for.
About: I have grown up with dogs of all sizes! With my experience in pet boarding for 2 years and 5 years as a Veterinary Assistant I am very experienced in many breeds and their needs! I am currently a college student so I have plenty of time to walk, play, care for, and just love on your pets while you’re gone! I am unable to bring pets to my home, but I promise to always watch and care for them closely during my visits to ensure they are loved and safe at all times!
“Janneke is great with Leo. She gives him a great walk and when the weather doesn’t cooperate she will play with him inside and still give him a potty break. She’s very dependable!”
About: I've taken care of all types of pets from a very young age. Whether it be a tiny chihuahua to a sizeable Bullmastiff, a cat, birds including chickens, reptiles, fish, even small furry friends like rabbits or ferrets. I have adored and been fascinated by animals my whole life and am up for any challenge you throw at me. I've personally trained my dog to follow voiceless hand signal commands and he is also special needs, so caring for a senior or special needs animal is a breeze for me! I've even provided end of life care for my grandmother's cat, which included administering fluids via injection, so don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Not to mention that I have experience raising young kittens and squirrels at milk drinking ages! I am available from 7am to 5pm Monday through Friday and overnights on Fridays and Saturdays. I could possibly do extended overnight stays in my own home if your pet is dog, cat, and young child friendly. Whether it be for a walk, potty break, comfort while you're away, socializing and training your puppy basic commands (and maybe a few tricks), or even just taking your furry friend out for a pup cup and to a sniff spot, I'm the gal for you. I will even provide litter or doggy doo doo cleanup for an additional price. Your pet will always be safe and loved in my hands. I am currently in between jobs, and my kiddos go to daycare from 7am-5pm M-F, so I am available to help between those times, or overnights at your house on Fridays and Saturdays. I could be purr-suaded to do extended overnight stays at my house if your feline is cat, dog, and young child friendly. If I am caring in my home, I have 3 cats-all fixed- a special needs male dog who is NOT fixed due to medical reasons, and two kids under the age of 5. If you choose to keep your pet at my home, they need to be able to get along with them or be kept in a separate room. If you have a female dog, they would need to be fixed with proof of spay. My special needs dog has no business procreating! I have a large home and a decent sized yard with a tie-out cable so that your pet can explore my whole backyard safely without fear of taking off. I also have a screened in porch that I often let the cats roam in during the nicer months. I have a Honda CR-V, so I can keep decently large dogs in the car as well for transport or in case of emergency. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will cuddle, play, exercise, and feed & water them to their hearts content. I will ask however for an extra fee to pick up any dog poo or clean litter boxes.
About: I’m an experienced pet caregiver, foster, and pet owner with a true love for animals. I’ve fostered puppies and dogs, adopted my own pup, and also have two cats so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, including pets with medical needs who require extra attention and consistency. My background as a CNA and caregiver has shaped my calm, patient, and detail-oriented approach to every visit. I prioritize safety, routine, and reading each pet’s behavior so they feel comfortable and cared for at all times. I also provide clear updates so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra support, I treat them like my own. Pet care is part of my daily life. I love keeping pets happy, safe, and loved. I make sure every walk, meal, and playtime fits their needs, especially for seniors or pets who need extra attention. I’m attentive, reliable, and available all week and on weekends, so your pet will always have consistent care I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment whether it’s in my home or yours. I stick to each pet’s routine—meals, walks, playtime, and rest, while paying close attention to their personality, health, and comfort. I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, and pets with medical needs, and I make sure every pet feels cared for and at ease. I also keep owners updated with notes or photos so you always know your pet is happy and safe.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young. About 10 years ago I started watching animals for Family and Friends while they went on trips. I usually stay and watch the animals since I work from home I will be with the animals most of the time. I can also drop in and let animals out if needed. I’m very flexible. Working from home gives me that availability. I’m able to stop over and let animals out if needed as well. I can feed, walk, give meds etc. I care for the animals in their homes. I’m unable to take care of them at my house. A lot of my friends and family prefer that so the animals don’t have to change their environment.

“I have nothing but great things to say about our experience with Ana and her family! She was great at giving me updates and photos of how things were going for my baby Arlo! I definitely recommend them and I will be using Ana and her family whenever I need someone to take care of Arlo again!”
“The fact that my extremely anxious dog did not immediately run to the door when I arrived for pick up tells me everything I need to know about how well she was cared for. She found herself a second family in the span of 3 days!!!”
“Darian was amazing. We used her for a 2 week vacation and we are so grateful to have found her. We will definitely use her again. She taught our puppy how to walk on a leash, which he was struggling with before we dropped him off. We received daily updates, photos and videos, and never had to worry about him being cared for, loved on and played with.”
“Finley seemed so happy and calm when we picked him up that I knew he wasn’t stressed while we were away. He got to be outside just as much as he does at home. We don’t travel north often but would be glad to send him back ☺️”
“Mochi spent a full week with Carine and her family, and it went very well. Communication was excellent - Carine was attentive to all the details we shared and very responsive via text. We received updates throughout each day and during our trip, which we really appreciated. My kids loved seeing photos and updates of Mochi playing and cuddling with her kids. He was truly treated like one of their own, and it was clear how much he was loved, he will genuinely be missed by their family. Carine was also thoughtful about managing energy levels when another dog was staying at the same time and always checked in first. We felt completely comfortable leaving Mochi in her care and would absolutely use her again.”
“Brandi and her family were AMAZING! The communication was great, the pictures, the many walks, the care they provided our puppy was everything we could have hoped for and more. Wonderful experience, we just booked another stay with Brandi’s family for this fall!”
“Frank and Clarissa were amazing. They sent us pictures, let us know how our dog was doing and kept us at ease. Our dog can be a little shy when he first meets people and they made him feel like part of their family. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda was so great! She really listened to the things I wanted for Sadie and was so flexible with my needs and schedule. Her kids and dogs are also great. Sadie warmed up to them very quickly and I know she had a great time. Will definitely book 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!”

“Melissa and her family were great. She was easy to book with and very accommodating with all of our requests. Our dachshund, Squatch, came home happy and tired from a weekend of playing and cuddles. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Amazing Care for Our High-Energy Doodle Puppy! We couldn't have been happier with the care Jeremiah provided for our energetic doodle puppy during his three-day stay. Finding someone who can handle a young, high-energy dog is crucial, and Jeremiah exceeded all our expectations. Their home is incredibly clean and nice, and the fenced backyard was perfect for our puppy to burn off steam safely. It was a huge bonus that they have their own sweet doodle—our guy had an absolute blast making a new friend and getting constant companionship! Communication was prompt and reassuring. We received updates and very cute pictures via text throughout the stay, which made us feel completely at ease. They took him on multiple walks and ensured he received excellent care and attention the entire time. Overall, our puppy truly enjoyed his stay, and we are totally satisfied. We will absolutely be repeat customers and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and fun home for their dog!”
“Bethany and her family take such good care of our dogs. They are treated as though they are part of their family. I highly recommend them to take care of anyone's dog. It is always a great sign when we turn on their road and they realize where they are going and get so excited! You will not be disappointed at all.”
“We were really happy we went with Andrew for Teddys stay. He was great when we dropped Teddy off, let us come in and see the place and got to see how Teddy did with their dog. While we were gone, we received daily updates and could tell Teddy looked happy which makes leaving easier! We would use Andrew again”
“Amazing, Andrea treats Monty like he’s one of her own dogs. She gives us updates promptly about how Monty is enjoying his time with her and her family! He absolutely loves going there!”
“Brittany did a great job taking care of Noah overnight and thru the following day. He got along well with the other dogs in her home and came back tired but happy! Thank you Brittany for taking good care of him.”
“Laura is wonderful and gave our family peace of mind while we were away from our dogs. She has an awesome set up to make dogs feel comfortable and was very communicative, sending us pictures of our pups. Highly recommend and we will definitely use her again!”
