“Lyudmila is amazing! She welcomed our teddy boy last minute and treated him like family. We loved the updates and pics—turns out our chunky guy is a big fan of hot dogs! It’s such a relief knowing he’s so well cared for. He’ll definitely be back next time we travel!”
“Kimberly and Tim thank you! Kimberly was absolutely amazing. Both the boys (doodles) had a little anxiety settling in for a few days stay with them, She was very attentive to their needs and messaged us right away with the symptoms and resolutions. She sent photos and updates of their activities throughout the days as well. Communication was A++! They were flexible with check in and check out times with a misunderstanding on our side due to being new users. Always kind and upbeat, thank you for shining your animal loving light bright for our fur babies!”
“Katrina did an excellent job of caring for Knox. He appeared to feel very comfortable and found a friend among the pups that were there. He had good social interaction and was a tired pup when we got home.”
“Allison was beyond amazing! I could feel her kindness from the start. She was so good with our dog. This was our first time leaving him since he was very young and he had so much fun! She has a deep understanding of dogs and is in tune with their needs. She sent updates and pics throughout the stay which was reassuring. Would recommend over and over.”
“Jennifer and her family were amazing! She sent great pics and updates the whole time. Her girls were so excited and happy to have her. Lots of activity and snuggles! We will choose Jennifer again for great care.”
“Gabby had so much fun at Yuki's house over the weekend, we got lots of pictures and updates all weekend long. She loved playing with the other dogs and was super tired when she got home.”
“Such a great experience! it was the first time I had to leave my baby and she made me feel so comfortable and was super responsive! I picked miss millie up this morning, and she was happy as can be! Totally recommend:)”
“My pup had a great time! Ty was great. He kept me updated on how it was going and was very easy to work with. We will be using him again and I highly recommend his services. Wonderful experience.”
“This was our first sleepover(6 nights)with Elizabeth and longest we've left our 2. I was the irritating dog mom. But she was amazing(along with her patient husband and 2 felines). The dogs were so chilled and calm when we arrived to get them. They slept all night from exhaustion! Normally they are hyper and stressed from the kennel so we are extremely happy to have found her and her service. She's got us now!”
“Miranda was super great with our Labrador. She sent lots of pictures and updates through the stay and was super good about responding. Our flight ended up getting g delayed and we weren’t able to make it back in time for pickup. Miranda was very good to work with and let him stay an extra day. Would definitely bring our dog back again.”
“Renae was absolutely amazing with our little guy. Immediately upon meeting her we knew he'd be in good hands. Her and her family really treated him like their own, we will definitely reach out again for future care. Thank you again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, and have taken care of cats for 2 years now. I love taking care of both equally! I work full time, my husband works part time and is home during the day. We are available to watch your pets on weekends, but can do during the week as well! I have a home in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in yard with plenty of room for dogs to run. I also own a friendly chocolate lab that would love play with your pup!
“Sabrina and her family were wonderful to work with. I felt immediately at ease meeting with them and Ted had a great time staying at their house. They sent plenty of pictures of his adventures and we've already booked another stay with them. Would give more stars if I could, definitely recommend trusting your pet with this family!”
“Katelyn and Hayden took such good care of our pups! Kona and Maple didn’t wanna leave and had the best time playing with their dog, Mae! We got videos and pictures throughout their stay so we knew they were well taken care of and had a blast! We will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“She was very pleasant to work with and always provided pictures! She was great to work with, and I know my dog loved spending time over there! Would 100% book again when leaving town!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I truly love them with my whole heart and would do anything to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s a bouncy puppy or a senior dog who needs some extra care, I treat every pet like they’re family. I’m all about cuddles, consistency, and making sure your pet feels totally at home. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I work full time but have a very flexible schedule, which means I’m able to plan my days around pet visits, walks, and playtime. I’m already used to building my day around my own cat, so adding in extra care is something I truly enjoy. Having animals around makes my day better, and I love being that dependable person pets can feel safe with. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my top priority is making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In your home, I stick to their usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, and snuggles—so everything feels familiar. At my place, while I don’t have a yard, I live right next to a dog park, which means plenty of playtime and fresh air! Pets in my care get a cozy, calm space, lots of love, and attention tailored to their needs.
“Taylor's care was simply fantastic. Her own dogs are so gentle and welcoming; you can see that Taylor and her husband are dog lovers. My dog craves exercise, so I was a little hesitant about how she would adjust to staying in an apartment, but I should never have worried! Taylor made sure she had lots of safe, outside, running time at the park! She sent us pictures and updates, and although Sydney was glad to see me, she was also stress-free and obviously well cared for. I recommend Taylor 100%.”

“Briea was fantastic!! She was so caring to our kitties and thorough with taking care of them!! I appreciated her update after each check in and love the pictures she provided! After her last visit she made sure our house was locked and secure. Definitely recommend her caring for your kitties!! Thank you, Briea!!”
“Maria was fantastic! Our 4 cats were happy and we'll taken my care of during our vacation. And Maria provided daily updates/pictures which was very appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!”
“Crystal was amazing! She took such good care of my 3 cats. I cannot thank her enough for everything she did. I really appreciated the daily photos and updates. I will definitely be rebooking with her the next time I need a cat sitter!”
“Kathryn did a great job with Pookie and Pumpkin. She shared updates and pictures. I feel she is very trustworthy. She took extensive notes during our meet and greet visit. She followed all of my instructions.”
“Julia is absolute gold. From the moment I booked her, I felt completely at ease — and that peace of mind is priceless when it comes to my cats. Merman and Calpurnia were happy, relaxed, and clearly so well cared for while I was away (which tells you everything). Julia is dependable, communicative, and genuinely loving with animals. She sent thoughtful updates, followed instructions perfectly, and treated both my home and my cats with so much respect. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book her again — she’s the kind of sitter you hope to find and then never want to let go of. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: I am a certified fear free professional dog trainer. Prior to opening my business I worked as a Licensed Veterinary Technician for 6 years in 2 fargo/moorhead Veterinary Clinics. Prior to that I worked at a boarding facility. I enjoy working with dogs and cats of all ages. I have had 2 diabetic Cats in my life and I am comfortable with administering medications/injections to dogs and cats.I am also comfortable walking dog who can be over reactive to dogs and people. During the weekdays I have flexibility in my mornings and afternoons. I enjoy being active and offering care for companion animals. I am looking forward to caring for/walking companions animals during that time. I am a certified fear a force free professional dog trainer. I am commented to working with and caring for animals with patience, compassion and respect.
“Amanda was an amazing caregiver for my four cats while I was on vacation for a week. She visited twice a day at our agreed‑upon times and always followed up with photos and thoughtful updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Two of my cats are typically very fearful of new people, but after just a few days they were completely at ease around her. Animals truly recognize kind, caring humans, and Amanda is absolutely one of them. We met before my trip so she could get to know the cats, and I felt comfortable with her right away. She has a kind, easygoing personality, and it was lovely chatting about her own pets too. She also needed to give one cat a transdermal med on her ear for hypothyroidism twice a day and she was very comfortable with providing that for my kitty! If you’re looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet carer, Amanda is the one to choose. I couldn’t recommend her more.”
About: I am an animal lover with lots of experience! I have worked in pet care and have watched neighbors animals as well. From turtles and birds to dogs and cats, I can help with any of your animal care needs! Taking time off for the summer before college. I will be available 7 days a week until late August. I own a dog so pet care is a part of my daily life! I have a 5 bedroom house with lots of room for pets! The yard is not fenced in but there is a tether. The backyard is large so even with the tether there is plenty of space for any pets to roam!
About: I am an experienced pet care taker. I had a dog of my own for 7 years before she passed away of a heart condition. I now have the best Rottie in the earth. Before that my family had dogs and cats growing up. I also consistently foster animals through one of the organizations in town. All dogs on my profile are dogs I either owned, fostered, or babysat. I love to spend as much time with the dogs I am sitting! If it’s the weekend only this is easy to do - If your dog would like a friend my Rottie would like to come with! If not no worries at all! For weekdays: I work from home and can make moving to your home work but will need a desk space or active table space with the ability to plug in - and preferably the ability to bring my 4 year old friendly Rottie with me. If I am unable to bring her what I have done in the past is work from my home and then spend the evening/night with your dog. I always make a lunch break work for this plan. This often mimics similar to a 8-5 schedule. We can definitely discuss details on this! She is part of a team that helps a rescue in town dog test new dogs on their reaction to others! I look forward to hearing from you.- I try to be flexible as possible for your dogs needs. If these schedules don’t work for you - please still reach out if you want to discuss options! I am comfortable continuing what you have done with your dog in your home. Normal walks? You got it. Fenced yard and fetch? Terrific. I love to keep dogs into the regular routine as it’s already stressful for their human to be gone. I do request if you have scent plugs in your home that they are unplugged during any extended stay you schedule with me - thanks!
About: I have a cat of my own (Boots) who is my best friend. I’ve had Boots since he was a kitten. In addition, I have fostered over 6 cats for Homeward Animal Shelter. During this time, I cared for cats that required insulin, supplements, and a structured feeding routine.
About: I fell in love with cats in 2009. I grew up with my sweet girls Sophie and Noel, and now have a wonderful rescue cat named Rana! Whether your cat loves cuddles, to have company while still having their own space, or if they just need a designated treat giver while you're out... I'm here to help!
About: I have grown up with cats all my life, as my grandparents lived on a farm and had many indoor and outdoor cats. I am employed with an agency in the F/M area and have done many cat visits that have involved cleaning litter, feeding, giving medication, playing, and of course giving lots of pets and love.
“Took great care of our elderly diabetic cat. I left in a hurry and didn't even tell her everything and she handled it, no problem! I woukd definitely call again. Thanks Michelle!!!”
About: I grew up with cats and helping take care of family pets, each of them having unique personalities; from shy seniors who don't like strangers to energetic kittens keen on getting into trouble, I've had the pleasure of interacting with them all.
About: I love animals and will make sure your pets needs are my first priority. You will get pictures of your pets while in my care. Im currently available, so I’ll be able to take care of your dog or dogs. I do have a dog of my own Ziggy who is friendly with everyone. Ziggy and I frequently go on walks to different parks.

About: I have always been an animal lover! I grew up around dogs, cats, and cattle/farm life animals. Every animal that I encounter, I love it like it’s my own!

“I really appreciate the cure Lyudmila give to my dog Dior every day. She will send me pictures of my dog and she looks so good. She will communicate with me too. And her communication skills was excellent. I would love to take my door back to her any day.”
“Yuki was great to work with, she responded quickly and was very friendly. My pup will not eat if she is the least bit anxious, but Yuki made her feel right at home and Dixie ate a full bowl of food! Yuki sent my pictures during Dixie’s stay. When I went to pick Dixie up Yuki’s daughter has even drawn and colored a picture of Dixie for me. Next time we are in Fargo, I’d use Yuki again for sure!”
“Pamela was a fantastic sitter for our senior dog Kurt. Great communication both before and during the daycare. A lovely neighborhood with a great park. Super friendly and professional. We highly recommend Pamela for your pet-sitting needs in Fargo!”
“Rachel and her family have been a life saver for us. We have a lovely little pup that adores kids and other puppies...and Rachel has just that. Eva loves to go to Rachel's. A sleepy pup is a wonderful pup❤️”
“Bailey has always been so nice and very accommodating. Our dogs also get along great! She sends updates and pictures every time our dog is with her. She has walked him, boarded him and also done daycare for us. I would 100% recommend her for your doggy needs!”
“We had a great experience. Ty was friendly, responsive and flexible when our times needed adjusting. The fenced yard is great and the dogs loved exploring all of the dog toys. Happy dogs. Happy dog parents. We’ll definitely use Ty again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I’ve trained my own dogs through three levels of obedience and raised five of them from the time they were 8 weeks old and took care of them through their elderly years including in pup wheel chairs. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to independent cats and senior pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work school hours during the week and have Thursdays at home, which gives me extra flexibility for pet care. I’m available for walks and drop-ins after 4 p.m. on weekdays, and for boarding or extended visits on weekends. Your pets will always get plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I love spending time brushing and walking all of my furry friends. I don’t have a fenced yard at this time, but I spend lots of time outside with pets in our spacious back yard and make sure they’re always safely supervised. I’m comfortable using leashes, harnesses, and long leads to give dogs room to explore while keeping them secure. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, caring environment where every pet feels safe and loved.
About: Hi! I’m a full-time pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals—not just dogs and cats, but also small mammals and exotics. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, cats, rats, tortoises, lizards, hermit crabs, and even tiny critters like jumping spiders. If it has fur, scales, or a shell, there’s a good chance I’m comfortable caring for it! I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I always prioritize each animal’s individual needs, routines, and comfort level. Whether that means high-energy playtime for big dogs, gentle handling for small pets, or precise care for reptiles and invertebrates, I take pride in providing safe, thoughtful, and reliable care. I’m available full-time, which allows me to be flexible with scheduling and attentive to your pet while you’re away. I understand that every pet household is different, and I’m happy to discuss specific care needs, animals not listed here, or custom pricing. If you have any questions at all—about availability, pricing, or whether I’d be a good fit for your pet—please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to chat and make sure your pet gets the best care possible! I have experience with different age ranges too - I've had the opportunity to see many of my fur family member's long lives, from beginning to end. I am currently working remotely and on my own time, so I have lots of flexibility with times and services. I love being outdoors and enjoy a cozy day in too. We have an unfenced yard and a deck with a gate on the stairs down. We live on walking trails that our fur babies frequent with. Dogs and cats are allowed to free-roam the house. We do have MANY kennels (with varying sizes) that we can utilize if needed. I also am comfortable going into your home and watching your critters there too :)
“My partner and I were driving across the country with our 50lb Samoyed, Jack, to relocate to our new home. On our trip, we decided to stop through Fargo where my family is from and take in NDSU football game — Go Bisons! We needed someone to watch Jack for the few hours we were at the game, and Taylor readily accepted our last minute (day before) request. Jack is a calm, friendly dog who seems to have been experiencing some anxiety on the long drive and is not consistently eating or pooping. We were a little nervous leaving him with new people in a new place when he was already on edge. However, Taylor and her family seemed to put him at ease immediately. Taylor kept us updated with pictures and milestones, and when we picked him up he had eaten all of his food, pooped, and played a bunch outside. He seemed happy, calm, and well cared for. If you have any dog sitting needs, we definitely recommend Taylor!”
“Awesome sitter! Was able to squeeze my girl in last minute on the Fourth of July so I could spend time with family instead of stressing over her barking (from separation anxiety) in the hotel. Erin is so sweet and invited us in right away to take a look at her house and the backyard. She made me feel very good about leaving my little angel in her care. When we went to pick her up Erin invited us in again and filled us in on everything they did together. Mocha was a very happy girl when we picked her up and I know they had fun together!”
About: I have been caring for dogs for most of my life, starting when I was 6 years old, when I was gifted my first puppy for Christmas. I trained my bishon shitzu to jump through hoops at age 11, not professionally, but I was still pretty impressed. I also helped my parents potty train him. When he got older, I cared for him while he had Cushing’s syndrome until the day he went over the rainbow bridge. Just 2 shorts years ago, I got my second dog, Oakley. He has been my entire world and I trained him on my own, as well as brought him to training classes and learned to do some of those things myself. I absolutely adore dogs and I have since day 1. I love all shapes and sizes and I will always care for them as if they are my own. I look forward to meeting your fur babies that you love just like I do. 😊 I’m currently in PA school fully online and would love to have additional company! I have a Goldendoodle around who loves to play with friends! I live in a condo and have a doodle who I take on walks at least once a day, and I’m sure he’d love to have a buddy or two along. He gets along very well with all dogs and always loves to be around them.
“Nicole is lovely! She took on our separation anxiety boy, Oslo, and did so well with him. We were sent several updates and pictures throughout the day so we could see that Oslo was comfortable, happy, and care for!”

About: I have three dogs of my own, so caring for pets is a big part of my everyday life.

In my home, I have a secure, fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, along with three friendly and playful dogs who enjoy socializing. I always introduce pets slowly to make sure everyone is comfortable. If needed, I can separate or crate my dogs or your pet to ensure a stress-free environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I respect their space and stick to their pet’s normal schedule to keep them comfortable and relaxed.

“Kathryn is absolutely wonderful with my two pups. She realized right away little Dukie does better with his “momma” on their walks so she takes both the pups together. Kathryn is extremely kind, trustworthy, and very good at communicating. It takes so much off my plate knowing I have a dependable dog walker/sitter for when my baby gets here, absolute Godsend!”
“Vanessa came over to walk 1 of my dogs (puppy!) during lunchtime. She also let my other 2 dogs outside so the 3 of them could play together. She brought the puppy on a 1-2 mile walk every day and tried to get his energy out. She was prompt and provided daily feedback with pictures. Will definitely book again!”
About: I have helped friends and family care for their pets when they are gone. I even helped a neighbor friend when I was in middle school take care of his dogs when his family was out of town. I enjoy spending time with animals especially dogs. I get summers off from my full time job. I will have a part time job which is scheduled on my terms. Therefore I have availability in my schedule to have several "clients" and fulfill required tasks. I have a fenced yard. Also take my dog on several walks especially in the summer. He enjoys playing tug of war in the house with his toys. He also gets exercise running up to the front window to bark at cars going by. :)

“Responded quickly when we unexpectedly needed a walker last minute. Followed all requests for our dogs care to the letter and made sure she had long walks to enjoy and stretch.”
About: I have grown up with pets being a huge part of my life. Right now I have my sweet girls Paris and Rana. Paris is a four-year old Golden Retriever and Rana is a rescue kitty from Furry Friend's Rockin' Rescue. We adopted her in 2020! I grew up with cats, and although I didn't get my first dog until I moved out on my own, she has truly made me fall in love with being a dog mom. There's something special about the genuine love that all pets give us, and there's nothing I'd love more than to help take care of yours when life gets busy. Our pets are family. They will be in great hands and will get all of the love that they deserve! I am a full-time musician, but most of the time my Monday-Friday consists of spending time with my own pets before I hit the road! Although my schedule is unpredictable, it does leave room for even more flexibility and the ability to take last minute drop-ins/walk requests! I will always put your pets safety and happiness first. I know how terrifying it can be to leave your pets' care up to someone you've never met, but can assure you they will get nothing but love and attention during my drop-ins! I am unable to have pets come to my own home as it stresses my rescue cat out too much, but love doing drop-in visits at your convenience! I am someone who runs half marathons and walks for fun... So there is nothing I'd love more than to help walk your sweet fur babies as well!
About: Hello! I have always had a love for animals especially dogs and cats. I had my own dog, Charlie, who had complex health issues and unfortunately is no longer with me. He made me comfortable with giving medications, insulin/allergy shots, and following instructions with dietary restrictions that I can also provide your pets with when needed. I currently work full time M-F, but my schedule is flexible during the week and most weekends. I have also been employed for over a year with a company in the F/M area providing pet care services in people's homes. I LOVE what I do and always looking for more opportunities to meet new furry friends. My schedule is flexible and I respond quickly to text/phone calls or email when reaching out looking for pet care. I'm able to do morning shifts before I head to my full time job M-F, lunch breaks, and after work. I can often move my schedule around if you need other times throughout the day too. Just ask! Weekends are more open when I am not out of town. I prefer going to the pets home to provide care where they are in a familiar environment. I can provide walks, bring your pet outside to play, clean litter boxes, feed and fill their water, administer medication etc. Boarding in my home can also be provided, as I have a pet and smoke free home and can work with your pets needs to make them feel safe and at home.
About: I've grown up with vastly different dogs; my first was a grumpy senior cocker spaniel and my last was the sweetest, smartest Australian Shepard/blue heeler. I've also taken care of friends' and family's pets like my aunt's deaf pitbull and my cousin's St. Bernard. Needless to say, I have a wide range of pet experience. I'm currently an online graduate student, which means I have flexibility to work around yours and your pet's schedule. I'm available most days with available times from early morning to late evening. It's important for a pet to feel safe in their home. It's important to follow a pet's boundaries, I try to cater to their needs and their routine.

He is extremely dog friendly & has accompanied me to the doggie daycare facilities and played with dogs of all shapes & sizes. Bee is a golden retriever who is as sweet as can be. All she ever wants to do is cuddle and be best buddies! She is also great with other dogs & just wants to have fun. We do live in an apartment but we have a larger living room where our dogs play when inside. I take our dog’s potty every 3-4 hours max. We also have a huge grassy area right across the street where we love to let our dogs run & play. I am willing to crate your pets if needed but I am a huge dog lover and will soak up all the puppy cuddles I can get!
About: I have grown up with both big and small dogs, as well as cats. I’m a lover of all animals and can’t wait to help you with yours! I prioritize them getting adequate exercise, play time, and of course snuggles and treats. I am a senior college student with a flexible schedule. I can work around yours to provide the best care. Let’s talk and figure out a schedule that works for you! At my own house, I have a medium yard, and live in a safe neighbor hood. At your house, I will do my best to care for your pet in the routine that they are used to.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, including cats, dogs, bunnies, and fish, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I currently have two dogs of my own—a German Wirehair and a Chocolate Lab—so I understand the love, attention, and exercise dogs need. As a full-time Doctor of Pharmacy student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend my free time doing what I love—caring for pets! I offer walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I will always treat your home with respect and leave it cleaner than I found it. When going for walks we will stay in safe familiar areas.
About: Growing up, I've always had pets, and my affection for them has only grown stronger as I've gotten older. I'm fascinated by creatures of all kinds and enjoy learning about them. My pet-care experience stems from having my own pets as well as caring for family, friends, and volunteers over the years. I’m excited to get to know you and your pet and provide that unconditional safety and love. Ideally weekends work best but weekdays in the morning are just fine as well. I have a mixed schedule so contact me for any questions. I can always assure my clients that i will take the finest possible care of their dog or cat. I do recognize that leaving a pet at home can be stressful but I make note of all relevant information, such as emergency contacts, veterinarian details, food recommendations, medication information, alarm codes, etc. Never forgetting to lock the doors, and never leave the building without a key. You can be sure that your pet is in good hands.

“Kimberly and Tim thank you! Kimberly was absolutely amazing. Both the boys (doodles) had a little anxiety settling in for a few days stay with them, She was very attentive to their needs and messaged us right away with the symptoms and resolutions. She sent photos and updates of their activities throughout the days as well. Communication was A++! They were flexible with check in and check out times with a misunderstanding on our side due to being new users. Always kind and upbeat, thank you for shining your animal loving light bright for our fur babies!”
“Katrina did an excellent job of caring for Knox. He appeared to feel very comfortable and found a friend among the pups that were there. He had good social interaction and was a tired pup when we got home.”
“Allison was beyond amazing! I could feel her kindness from the start. She was so good with our dog. This was our first time leaving him since he was very young and he had so much fun! She has a deep understanding of dogs and is in tune with their needs. She sent updates and pics throughout the stay which was reassuring. Would recommend over and over.”
“Gabby had so much fun at Yuki's house over the weekend, we got lots of pictures and updates all weekend long. She loved playing with the other dogs and was super tired when she got home.”
“Such a great experience! it was the first time I had to leave my baby and she made me feel so comfortable and was super responsive! I picked miss millie up this morning, and she was happy as can be! Totally recommend:)”
“My pup had a great time! Ty was great. He kept me updated on how it was going and was very easy to work with. We will be using him again and I highly recommend his services. Wonderful experience.”
“This was our first sleepover(6 nights)with Elizabeth and longest we've left our 2. I was the irritating dog mom. But she was amazing(along with her patient husband and 2 felines). The dogs were so chilled and calm when we arrived to get them. They slept all night from exhaustion! Normally they are hyper and stressed from the kennel so we are extremely happy to have found her and her service. She's got us now!”
“Miranda was super great with our Labrador. She sent lots of pictures and updates through the stay and was super good about responding. Our flight ended up getting g delayed and we weren’t able to make it back in time for pickup. Miranda was very good to work with and let him stay an extra day. Would definitely bring our dog back again.”
“Renae was absolutely amazing with our little guy. Immediately upon meeting her we knew he'd be in good hands. Her and her family really treated him like their own, we will definitely reach out again for future care. Thank you again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, and have taken care of cats for 2 years now. I love taking care of both equally! I work full time, my husband works part time and is home during the day. We are available to watch your pets on weekends, but can do during the week as well! I have a home in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in yard with plenty of room for dogs to run. I also own a friendly chocolate lab that would love play with your pup!
“Katelyn and Hayden took such good care of our pups! Kona and Maple didn’t wanna leave and had the best time playing with their dog, Mae! We got videos and pictures throughout their stay so we knew they were well taken care of and had a blast! We will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“She was very pleasant to work with and always provided pictures! She was great to work with, and I know my dog loved spending time over there! Would 100% book again when leaving town!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I truly love them with my whole heart and would do anything to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Whether it’s a bouncy puppy or a senior dog who needs some extra care, I treat every pet like they’re family. I’m all about cuddles, consistency, and making sure your pet feels totally at home. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I work full time but have a very flexible schedule, which means I’m able to plan my days around pet visits, walks, and playtime. I’m already used to building my day around my own cat, so adding in extra care is something I truly enjoy. Having animals around makes my day better, and I love being that dependable person pets can feel safe with. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my top priority is making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In your home, I stick to their usual routine—meals, walks, playtime, and snuggles—so everything feels familiar. At my place, while I don’t have a yard, I live right next to a dog park, which means plenty of playtime and fresh air! Pets in my care get a cozy, calm space, lots of love, and attention tailored to their needs.
“Taylor's care was simply fantastic. Her own dogs are so gentle and welcoming; you can see that Taylor and her husband are dog lovers. My dog craves exercise, so I was a little hesitant about how she would adjust to staying in an apartment, but I should never have worried! Taylor made sure she had lots of safe, outside, running time at the park! She sent us pictures and updates, and although Sydney was glad to see me, she was also stress-free and obviously well cared for. I recommend Taylor 100%.”
About: I have a lot of dog experience plus dogs myself. I’ve taken classes trained and also done boarding before. I also know how to do cpr and tend to special dogs I love spending time with my dogs. Your dogs will get the same amount of attention and loving as my dogs do. Nothing better than spending my free time with my dogs. I have a fenced in yard. I have 2 dogs that can and will keep them company. Super friendly dogs that will play all day if they could.
