They were great with keeping me updated and sending pics, and also very patient with my dog, who was very worked up since it was her first time away from home. I am so thankful for the care they provided!!”
About: Dogs are my main focus and joy. I've raised puppies and provided end of life care. I keep a good feeding, naps, exercise, and training schedule. I have experience giving medication and supporting recovery from surgeries and illness. I am retired and available to watch dogs any time. I am flexible with weekends and weekdays. I am willing to travel some distance to care for dogs throughout the week. I have a fenced in yard with a ramp from the deck. I am able to come to your home to provide dog cares as well.
“More than exceeded expectation especially on such short notice. Our dog “Bella” had so much fun which was captured in pictures/video updates. 10/10 recommend booking with Alicia, your fur baby will appreciate it.”
About: I have always been an avid animal-lover. From childhood into adulthood, I have owned and cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, birds & fish. My family & I currently share our home with two dogs, a bearded dragon, a Russian tortoise, & a ball python. I have several years of professional work experience in animal care (zoo, kennel care, walking, basic grooming) and wildlife / parks & recreation—both of which are relevant. I enjoy the outdoors and keeping all of our furry (& scaly) friends happy. I will board dogs, small mammals, reptiles & birds in my home! Upon request, I can do drop-in visits for cats or exotic animals within a 15 mile radius. I am currently a stay-at-home mom & so my schedule allows me to be at home majority of the time. If I need to leave the house, it’s never for more than a couple of hours. I have a large four-story home, which provides amble space for pets to play or to be separated if need be. I utilize crates for dogs who need or prefer it. Our yard is unfenced, so I use slip leads and tie-out cables for potty time.
“Michael did an amazing job with our dog, Murphy. It was nice to do a brief meet and greet to make sure Mike and Murphy were a good fit for one another. Murphy readily took to Mike and she seemed relaxed and okay to stay. Mike was in touch shortly after we left to let us know that Murphy had settled in, and I received various photos and correspondence while we were away. We will definitely book Mike to watch Murphy again and I would absolutely recommend Mike to others!”
“I had a great experience leaving my 2 dogs with Donna. One of my dogs is older and anxious but she took excellent care of him. She has a big yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run and get exercise. I loved that she sent pictures and updates every few days while I was gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I can walk, doggy-sit during evenings and weekends. Prior military knows how difficult it is to trust others to care for your dog. Always a concern of mine when I had to go away for any period of time and so am empathetic to that type of worry and concerns. I can also offer overnights, my home or yours, and negotiable for longer periods. I grew up with dogs so am not intimidated by even the large types, but will need to overnight at your home if the dog is over 40lbs. I have a small female franchie that loves other dogs, cats and people. I work from home most days so can have your dog at my place while you work or are out. My frenchie goes out every 4-5 hours, working from home makes that more convenient. If your dog needs to go out more often it is no problem. My dog is also not allowed to have food constantly, she is fed 3 times a day and sometimes a treat or two, mainly to control her allergies. I have an apartment, the bedroom has carpet but the rest of the apartment does not so I keep my frenchie out of bedroom due to her allergies. If you have a dog with allergies I am familiar with medications and anything else you might need. I have 6 years of experience specific to the bully breed and 10 years or more with other breeds. I prefer that you can drop your dog off with me but can discuss if you need me to pick them up. I also can only take one animal at a time daily.
About: I provide calm, reliable and attentive care for pets, focusing on maintaining their routines and comfort while their owners are away. I am experienced with dogs of different sizes and personalities, including feeding, walks, playtime, and following detailed care instructions. In the client’s home, I am respectful, organized, and careful to keep the space clean, secure, and well maintained. My priority is to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while owners have peace of mind through regular updates and photos. My schedule is flexible and I can adjust my availability to meet each pet’s needs. I ensure feeding, walks, and daily routines are completed consistently and on time. I am available for overnight care, weekdays, and weekends depending on the booking. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions to maintain their pet’s routine, comfort, and safety. In the client’s home, I respect the space, keep everything clean and organized, and ensure all safety guidelines are followed. I provide calm, consistent care and regular updates with photos so owners feel reassured while they are away.
About: I’ve had many years of pet care experience. Not only my own fur babies, but family and friends have relied on me to take excellent care of their own babies as wellaa a I currently work full time Monday-Friday 7am-5pm. I’m not much of a go out and be social kind of person, I enjoy being at home spending time with my dog. I am available any day of the week after 5pm and any hours on the weekend. I have one large-ish dog at home. I have an unfenced front and back yard with a small field across from my house for dogs to run and play. There is also a walking path near my house that my dog and I frequent everyday for a walk. Dogs are allowed to roam and make them selves comfy in my home. My dog does not like a crate, but I cater to dogs that are and are not crate trained
“Jacque has watched our dog twice now and he's come home happy and as good as ever. She's also been very flexible with drop off and pick up times which makes things much easier. She sends pics and is great with communication! Will definitely keep coming back!”

We enjoy seeing the pictures and the detailed, how many walks, eat/drink, pee/poop ect. All of the information we get back is so reassuring that Nora is getting taken care of the way we would want. Nadia is excellent at communicating with us and happy she is super flexible with our drop off pick up times. We look forward to having Nadia care for Nora again soon😊”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life and now have two of my own. I will be a great sitter because I have animal training experience and can work with behavior issues. I am a certified professional bird trainer and I am working towards becoming a certified dog trainer. I have also taken several animal training workshops! I believe in positive reinforcement training and building a trusting relationship with every animal I work with. Animal training with positive methods is very important to me and I look forward to working with you on any problems you may have with your dog or just continuing the good behavior your dog already has. I also have several enrichment ideas for any dogs that may seem bored or have too much energy. Have other pets at home? No problem! I have experience with cats, small mammals, parrots and raptors, and even a little experience with reptiles.

If you are looking for a trustworthy sitter, I highly recommend her: * Exceptional Care: She is super sweet, responsible, and took wonderful care of Boba. * Great Communication: She is proactive, timely, and keeps me well-informed. * Respectful House Sitter: She stayed at my house and left it completely spotless. Five stars! I will definitely be booking her again!”

“Gilman's experience with Erica was outstanding!! He has tons of energy and she knew how to keep him busy. He was showing some obnoxious behaviors when we got to her house.

I highly recommend Erica and we will be visiting again! Thanks for everything Erica (and all)”

About: Growing up with a variety of animals really gave me the compassion and love I have for animals now. Also, it gave me the skill I need to be able to take care of and provide for the different species of animals there are out there. Mostly, it was dogs and cats but I do have experience in caring for hamsters and bunnies. I love to go walking/hiking just to be outside and getting fresh air so i have no problem going on walks. I’m completely comfortable with our furry friends being on my furniture, I know not everybody is but mi casa es su casa. I am a veterinarian technician with my A.A.S. degree and I plan to open up my own business one day whether it be a dog boarding place of my own or my very own shelter/rescue. Either way, this is my 5-10 year goal and his will help me achieve that. I work full time throughout the week. My evenings are available & so are most of my weekends. This month of August will be busy for me on the weekends though. I make sure they are comfortable & I treat them as if they are my own. I make sure they are happy while their person is gone.

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I can walk, doggy-sit during evenings and weekends. Prior military knows how difficult it is to trust others to care for your dog. Always a concern of mine when I had to go away for any period of time and so am empathetic to that type of worry and concerns. I can also offer overnights, my home or yours, and negotiable for longer periods. I grew up with dogs so am not intimidated by even the large types, but will need to overnight at your home if the dog is over 40lbs. I have a small female franchie that loves other dogs, cats and people. I work from home most days so can have your dog at my place while you work or are out. My frenchie goes out every 4-5 hours, working from home makes that more convenient. If your dog needs to go out more often it is no problem. My dog is also not allowed to have food constantly, she is fed 3 times a day and sometimes a treat or two, mainly to control her allergies. I have an apartment, the bedroom has carpet but the rest of the apartment does not so I keep my frenchie out of bedroom due to her allergies. If you have a dog with allergies I am familiar with medications and anything else you might need. I have 6 years of experience specific to the bully breed and 10 years or more with other breeds. I prefer that you can drop your dog off with me but can discuss if you need me to pick them up. I also can only take one animal at a time daily.

Not only my own fur babies, but family and friends have relied on me to take excellent care of their own babies as wellaa a I currently work full time Monday-Friday 7am-5pm. I’m not much of a go out and be social kind of person, I enjoy being at home spending time with my dog. I am available any day of the week after 5pm and any hours on the weekend. I have one large-ish dog at home. I have an unfenced front and back yard with a small field across from my house for dogs to run and play.

My dog does not like a crate, but I cater to dogs that are and are not crate trained
“Jacque has watched our dog twice now and he's come home happy and as good as ever. She's also been very flexible with drop off and pick up times which makes things much easier. She sends pics and is great with communication! Will definitely keep coming back!”
