“Kristy took wonderful care of Ollie! She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. It gave me great peace of mind knowing Ollie was in such good hands. Thank you, Kristy!”
“Cooper’s home away from home! Cassie is great about sending regular updates and I can tell Cooper loves it there 😊 definitely our go-to when we’re out of town and can’t take Cooper with us!”
“Another great stay with Billie. My two dogs jump out of the car and run up her walkway. They obviously enjoy staying with her and her doggie. I feel very comfortable when they are in her care.”
“Derrika was absolutely phenomenal with Baker!!! She went above and beyond, truly treating him like family. She’s so genuine, caring, and attentive. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was not only safe but truly LOVED. I can’t recommend her enough!!!”
“Griffin sent so many pictures and videos, it helped us be able to relax on vacation knowing our lil guy was in good hands. Communication was excellent and his little puppy was super friendly. Would definitely recommend!”
“Brandon and Nicole were awesome hosts for my Bud Man. He enjoyed the whole week with them. Looking forward to having them watch him again this summer. Thanks!!”
“Franklin loved it - so much, that he took a second to decide whether he wanted to stay or go home with me! ? Carly was responsive, sent pics & was flexible on hours, etc. Great experience!”
“Elaine did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. My little dog is a rescue… she is very timid and has abandonment issues, so I was hoping to find the perfect dog sitter for her while we went out of town for a holiday. I adjusted the filters on Rover.com to display only sitters without kids and without other pets at home. Elaine was 1 of 11 and when I read her bio, I knew she’d be a great match! Thankfully, she agreed to dog sit for us and it worked out exceptionally well. I never once doubted the quality care she was receiving while we were away. Elaine was always quick to respond to texts and sent pics and daily updates. Elaine is now my number 1 choice for dog sitting services. Thank you so much, Elaine!”
“Brittney & Max did a fantastic job with Olly! I really appreciated all the photos they sent me of her while I was away. So glad to have found them, will definitely use them again!”
“Olga took great care of our puppy. This is the second time she has kept her and I always feel so good knowing our puppy is in good hands. She is very patient and caring and has a great home and safe space for the animals. She is very easy to communication with and always sends updates. We will definitely use her again and would definitely recommend her.”
“Chantelle was great. She was willing to meet up before our trip so Wilbur could meet her and she was so flexible with our plane delays. Wilbur seems to have had a great time despite being a very nervous dog. Chantelle did what she could to help make him happy and comfortable. We would use her again for future trips!”
“Abigail has watched our pups a couple of times now and she is wonderful! She sends lots of pictures and I can tell our dogs are well taken care of. Her dog Penny is sweet and a great play buddy!”
“My babies stayed with Bridget for the first time and I couldn't be happier. They were calm and happy when I picked them up and didn't have any of the post-boarding anxiety that they've had in the past. Bridget was so good with them and even shared pics of the fun they were having on the deck and in the back yard, which put me at ease. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Stephen and his family were great with our dog (and family member) Rainey. So much better to have a loving family take care of her than boarding her. I highly recommend them. Scott”
“Merley watched my Golden Grace. My dog had such a good time she didn’t want to leave! Merley and her family were so good to my dog - a real home away from home! Thank you so much!!”
“Nicole was wonderful! She provided excellent communication throughout our trip and sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was well cared for, and having fun. In fact, when he came home, he cried because he missed his new friends and the environment he had grown so attached to. We couldn’t ask for a better indication of how happy and comfortable he was in her care. Highly recommend!”
“MIchael and Danielle are great sitters. Yuli got great care including walk and romping the the beautiful back yard. Michael communicated very well with us and we felt 100% that Yuli was getting execellent care and was safe and secure. That gave us great peace of mind. We will definitely be using Michael and Michelle for future stays!”
“Thank you for being so flexible and for keeping them over the holiday. My boys had a great time and are already sleeping on the couch. :) will definitely book again!”
“Chloe & Collin were fantastic! Very quick to respond to messages and she sent lots of pictures and updates! She was very kind and flexible with our busy schedule while we were in town! We will definitely use them again next time we are visiting the area!!”

“Maddie was great with my 3 cats who are a little shy. She was able to administer medication to one and made sure she sent pictures of them all during her visits. Highly recommend!!”
“Absolutely amazing!! I can always trust them to take great care of my 2 old kitties while I'm away. I know that they are getting plenty of love and attention. So thankful for them!!”
“Always love when Rachel is available to check in on my fur baby. It’s nice when she’s been available whenever I need her for check ins. She is very reliable & follows my, hopefully, simple instructions. :)”
“Mallory was wonderful! She took exceptional care of my two kitties. She cleaned up when Brodus left presents because he was mad that I was gone. She went above and beyond.”
“Allison was great, she was easy to get a hold of and was always on time. Allison was great with both my dog and cat and the pets really liked her. She even went the extra mile and changed her schedule so it would work better for us. I would recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”
“Holly is the best! She treats the animals she sits as if they are her own. I have one difficult-to-care-for cat, and she didn’t bat an eye at the long and strict instructions. I came home after a week and my kitties were happy, healthy, loved, and well fed. Holly is my go-to forever sitter now :)”
“Great having Saige as my first sitter! We met at a Starbucks to do a meet and greet and I instantly felt comfortable. Scary bringing a stranger into your home these days, so I was thankful she was open to answering any questions and wanted me to feel comfortable. Days later, I then had Saige come to my home to meet my cat and see the space to ensure she would also be comfortable sitting at my home. She petsitted or pet sat(?) lol, for 4 days and there’s hardly a hint that she was ever here - meaning she left the place as she found it and didn’t leave a mess or anything. I don’t think my kitty ever got super used to having a stranger in her home but that’s not Saige’s fault. My kitty is just super shy and takes a while to warm up to strangers. I just asked that Saige respect her boundaries and space and I believe she did that! My kitty is almost 16 years old and I just really wanted that reassurance of having someone around more often than just bopping in for 15 mins a day - so I’m thankful for finding this service and the sitting going smoothly! Would book Saige again!”
“Quick response for a late request. Let me know when she was headed over and checked if there was anything else to get taken care of. I appreciate the comms and tryin to play with Tanqueray. Def will use again.”
“Catherine was wonderful! Our kitties were happy and spoiled with lots of love and playtime! We would definitely have Catherine back to check in on our kitties again!”
“Morgan did a great job caring for Mr. Thick Whiskers. She provided helpful daily updates and found a new hiding spot for his food after it became apparent that we have an acrobat cat. I would highly recommend her.”
“Olga was fantastic! Our cats typically do not do very well with temporary changes in their environment and have not done well when boarded previously. Olga sent us regular updates and photos of them and it was very clear that they got much more comfortable staying with her after a short adjustment period. Can not recommend her enough! We will absolutely bring our pets back to her in the future any time they need to be boarded! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our boys Olga!!!”
“Elise was great. I didn't worry about our kitties during our trip. She sent pictures of them every day and they always looked happy and content. Thanks for doing a great job Elise!”
About: I've had pets for ages, cats & dogs. Right now I don't have any, home is lacking! I have a special heart for smaller dogs! Right now, I'm working from home part time. So am pretty flexible watching your pet. My preference is to have your pet here in my home. I have a large fenced in back yard, dogs seem to love roaming in it! I prefer to crate at night and have always crated my dog when leaving home. I find dogs seem more secure when crated.
“Monet did a wonderful job for us. She took care of our furbabies as if they were her own...AND..took care of our home so everything seemed like normal for them. We are already planning our next annual trip and have asked Monet to hold a spot in her schedule for us. Meow!”
“I would recommend Trinity to take care of your fur babies. My cats were taken well care of while I was out of town for a week. She was really prepared and took notes on what I needed done.”
“Again, I had a fabulous experience with Alexandra. She went above and beyond to spend time and make friends with my cat (who is a difficult little monster). Alexandra has gone out of her way to take care of us and me us feel special. I am devoted to her as my cat-sitter. Thank you again!”

“Billie gives such kind, loving care to Ginger. She makes adorably decorated little jars of home made treats for special holidays and is a wonderful caregiver to our senior dog. Her own dog is an easy going older fella himself, and they ignore each other companionable. 😄”
About: I have had pets since I was a child, so I am very familiar with their needs, behavior and the care they require. I am a responsible, affectionate and patient person, and I always make sure that pets feel safe, comfortable and well taken care of. In addition, I also have experience taking care of children, which has helped me develop my patience, attention and sense of responsibility even more. I like to treat each pet with love and care, as if it were part of my own family. 🐾 I work only four days a week and usually get home early, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. I have had pets since I was a child, so I am very familiar with their needs and the affection they require. In my daily routine I always include time to play with them, feed them and make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of. Many friends trust me and bring me their pets when they need help, which has also given me experience taking care of different animals and adapting to their needs. 🐾 I offer pet care during the night in my home or at the owner's house, making sure they feel safe, comfortable and well taken care of. It includes food on time, walks if necessary, playtime, company during the night and a lot of attention and affection. I always follow the routine and instructions of the owner so that the pet feels as calm as possible. My goal is for the owners to have peace of mind knowing that their pet is in good hands and receiving care as if it were part of my family. 🐶🐱
“Our dog Rubi loved Elaine! I messaged Elaine the day before we needed care for our dog and she was so prompt to respond and ready to help us. She took great care of Rubi and sent us a picture and updates. Her backyard is perfect for dogs to run and play in and her house is calming and quiet. We will deffinetly think of Elaine again if we need care for our dog.”
About: 🚨 ATTENTION: 25LB MAX WEIGHT LIMIT - For the safety of our small dog clients we exclusively accept dogs/puppies that are 25lbs or under. 🚨 If your furbaby fits into our small-dog boutique size bracket, we would absolutely love to host them for a premium, customized vacation! ✨ After years of specialized transport with Mother Nature's Express, I am bringing that same USDA-certified level of safety and care to Mother Nature’s Boarding—a dedicated sanctuary for your furbabies. Professional Pedigree & Expert Care: I am not just a pet lover; I am a career animal professional with a decade of high-stakes experience. My background as a retired USDA-certified animal transporter means I have spent years safely navigating the logistics of animal behavior and safety across the country. I’ve handled animals of all temperaments and sizes, ensuring their health and security while traveling state-to-state and staying in pet-friendly luxury environments. Your furbaby's safety is my absolute priority. I am Red Cross Animal CPR certified, and my home is run with the precision and cleanliness of a professional facility, but with the heart of a dedicated stay-at-home parent. The Boutique Environment: Because I am home 24/7, your dog receives constant companionship and expert monitoring. My specialized setup includes: A dedicated "Guest Suite" located upstairs with me, completely separate from my personal pets to ensure a zero-stress transition. Safety-First Rotations: Utilizing my professional handling skills to manage pack dynamics, ensuring every guest feels like the "only" dog in the room. Expert Medical Oversight: Comfortable and experienced in administering medications and managing strict health protocols. A Lifetime of Devotion: My life has been defined by the bond between humans and animals. While I have over 12 years of adult experience managing my own multi-pet household—including dogs and cats—my journey actually began 25 years ago when I welcomed my first cat at age four, followed by a trio of small-breed dogs just two years later. I grew up learning the unique nuances of small-breed personalities, which is why I now specialize in providing a "big-dog-free" sanctuary for your little ones. As a career animal professional, pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it's the center of it. My schedule is designed to provide 24/7 supervision and companionship for my guest dogs. Because I am home full-time, I can maintain strict, consistent schedules for feeding, potty breaks, and medications that mimic your furbaby's home environment perfectly. My week is built around 'Restful Rotations.' While my mornings and evenings are for structured care, the daytime is filled with enrichment and one-on-one attention in our dedicated upstairs boutique area. This setup allows me to give your pet the high-touch care they deserve without the chaos of a traditional kennel. I care for every guest with the same expert precision I used as a USDA-certified animal transporter. My home's layout has been designed for maximum safety: all guest dogs enjoy the entire main/upstairs floor as their private 'boutique' sanctuary, completely separate from my personal pets who reside in their own personal basement suite while guests are here. Safety is my absolute priority. I utilize: Rotation-Based Exercise: I rotate my own dogs before guests enter the fully fenced backyard, ensuring a stress-free environment. The Double-Leash Rule: For front-yard strolls, I strictly follow the USDA safety standard of two points of contact (harness and collar) to ensure your pet is 100% secure at all times. Crated Security: To prevent nighttime scuffles and ensure a restful sleep, all guests sleep in their own individual, cozy crates with fresh water and orthopedic bedding. (The same protocol follows for feeding times to ensure absolute safety while eating) Medical Peace of Mind: Being certified in Animal CPR, I am highly experienced in monitoring health and administering specialized care.
“Derrika is FANTASTIC!!! She and her family are so incredibly friendly, kind and warm hearted. On the first day that Yogi (my doggo) was there he warmed up immediately - this was so easy for him as he knows & trusts great people. I got several lovely pictures - one of which was Yogi on her couch resting his head on her son’s legs. Yogi doesn’t do this unless he is very chill. You & your doggo will be grateful that you found her!!”
“Ryan was fantastic! My boys really struggle in the summertime due to the heat. He took that seriously and made sure to only have them outside for brief potty breaks. The boys had fun making new friends at daycare! He made sure they stayed cool and hydrated! As a helicopter mom I really worry about my fur babies, so I really appreciated that he sent videos throughout their visit to show me they were doing fine and having a great time! He spent time with them as well! My boys were in good hands with Ryan!”
“Amazing. Sylveena is wonderful. She fit me in last minute and my Snick loved being there. She sent plenty of photos and most of all my baby slept like a baby when I picked her up. Sylveena is great and I will definitely book with her again.”
“Great communications (several check ins, including picture) to let me know my mini goldendoodle Enzo was settling in with the other dogs and doing well during his first day. Enzo was calm and confident when I picked him up - indicating it was a good experience for him too :) Thanks!”
About: I've been training and taking care of dogs for 33 years. I had a couple childhood pets then when I was 18 I adopted and trained a dog that stayed with my family for 15 years. I also had a Labrador who made it to 13 and my current old man puppy is 13. I've been with my husband for 20 years. We LOVE dogs of all ages and sizes. I'm a stay at home mom to my geriatric dog. We get up around 6am, go outside for a bit, come in and get breakfast, then lounge while I clean. Lunchtime we go out again, have healthy snacks like carrots, then play in the fenced in yard or the living room depending on weather and temperature. Late afternoon and evening we wind down and get ready for dinner. I have a fenced in yard, a friendly old dog, tiled floors, comfortable furniture that they're allowed on, and air vents that come from the floors (dogs love to lay on them). There is security on my home and absolutely nobody but delivery people come here during the day.
“I can't thank Griffin enough for taking care of my dog on such short notice. They were incredibly accommodating and provided excellent care. Highly recommended!"”
“Great first day of hanging out at Savannah’s house. They have such a nice fenced in backyard. Can’t wait until the boys get introduced to the other dogs and get to play. Will be booking again, thank you!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of him. He loves hanging out with you. It's funny because we will tell him where he's going in the morning and he gets so excited!”
About: I've spent years watching the pets of my friends and family. They have trusted me to bathe, feed, play, and care for their fur babies. I’m in between jobs and have lots of time to fit the needs that are required of me :) I am mostly free on the weekdays and my weekends are always free. Where I live currently isn’t suitable for pet sitting but I am more than willing to dog sit at the clients home if need be.
About: If you're looking for genuine, dedicated care, look no further! My name is Ryan, and as a full-time, stay-at-home step-dad, I have the inherent flexibility and unwavering devotion to ensure your pets have a comfortable, fun, and personalized stay. With no children of my own, my commitment is complete: I treat every animal I care for as my own child. I recently made the move from California and am using the financial stability created through different ventures to pursue one of my passions: pet sitting. This isn't a job for me; it's a heartfelt side venture, meaning your pet gets my undivided attention during their stay. My goal is simple: for your animals to have the absolute best, most loving experience possible while you're away. Unlike part-time sitters who squeeze visits between other obligations, my schedule is structured around consistent pet care and family time. As a stay at home pet parent, caring for my two Golden Retrievers and cat forms as a constant of my daily routine. This means all walks, feeding times, and play sessions are scheduled with precision and are not subject to outside work conflicts. Whether I am providing in-home boarding or day stays, I am always present and available. I commit to maintaining your pet's exact routine, from specific medication times to late-night potty breaks, ensuring a stable, predictable, and stress-free experience. 1. Trust and Availability Trust is the foundation of my service. As a full-time, stay-at-home sitter, your pet receives genuine, focused attention that is simply unmatched. My flexible schedule means I am not juggling another job; I am fully dedicated to their care. This constant presence allows me to quickly recognize any change in behavior, diet, or health and respond immediately. Please feel free to observe my home environment and my interactions with my two Golden Retrievers and cat. I provide updates, photos, and communication so you always feel connected and assured that your pet is safe and thriving. 2. In My Home (Boarding/Daycare) For in-home boarding, I provide a safe, secure, and pet-proofed environment. My home is designed to be a comfortable, low-stress retreat. Dogs enjoy a consistent routine of feeding, play, and scheduled outdoor time in a fenced yard (with or without my two dogs- preference based). All medications are administered exactly as prescribed and logged. For the safety of everyone, only pets who are current on vaccinations and demonstrate friendly temperaments are accepted. The environment is always low-density, meaning I take a limited number of guests at any time to guarantee that every animal receives the maximum amount of personal attention, love, and care.
“Merley was great! Very hospitable and welcoming. Her own dog met ours and they were friends in less than ten seconds! We will use Merley again when we are back in her area.”

“Lulu has been wonderful! She has been walking my 10 month old puppy who was not great on a leash but seems to be doing well! My puppy cries for her when she drops her off! Lulu is very punctual and professional and has answered any questions I have. She also leaves a detailed report after each walk. I would highly recommend her!”
About: I own a dog myself and have raised her and trained her on my own since I was 14. I love being surrounded by all types of dogs and their own little personalities. I’m a college student, so with the summer starting I want to dedicate my time spending it with dogs! I enjoy taking them on walks to give both of us some exercise! I care for my own dog by prioritizing activness. She loves to go outside, with our fenched in backyard, and we play with a ball. I also love taking her for walks. But outside time isn’t always available, so I like to teach her new tricks or (gently) play with a toy inside. I think it’s also important to prioritize their health, making sure they eat and drink plenty of water.
“Katie was AMAZING! There was great communication and she always showed up on time with a smile on her face. Our dog absolutely loved her. He would wait at the window for her when I would tell him that she was coming. I felt very comfortable in having her walk him and had absolutely zero worries. I will definitely be using her again in the future for all my dog walking needs.”
“Lillian is great with our pup and he absolutely loves her! She’s been great communicating with us and working with our hectic, sometimes last minute schedule.”
“Elise has done a wonderful job with Bibbles. After having surgery and being unable to walk her as I usually do Elise stopped by and Bubbles got her outing/exercise! Very dependable, respectful and got along with Bubbles really well, will definitely have her as my go to for pet assistance in the future.”
About: I've been surrounded by pets my whole life! Since I was old enough, I've worked to train my two pups at home; I was even training one to be my service dog until covid hit. I'm willing to do it all from walking to training to even just belly rubs! I am employed full time though love to look for opportunities to support the community. I'm very flexible and more than willing to work with your family as well! Walks around campus would be the best! There are plenty of grass patches and protected crosswalks. As for clients' homes, I will only do what you tell me to; please let me know any important details about you or your pet!
“Morgan and her mini-assistant 😉 are they best team! They show up early, and are very communicative. Pippa absolutely adores them. Would recommend to anyone, and will definitely use again.”

About: my lifelong experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I’ve had six dogs throughout my life, both big and small, so I’m very comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to older dogs who need extra patience and attention. I also bring a strong work ethic and sense of responsibility.

Taking care of animals doesn’t feel like a chore to me, it’s something I look forward to, and I’m happy to fit it into my day. If I’m staying overnight, I make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their home environment by keeping up with their regular schedule—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you leave. For daily check-ins, I’ll make sure your pet gets the care and companionship they need while you’re away, whether that’s a walk, potty break, fresh food and water, or just some playtime and love. My goal is to keep your pet happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re gone, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands.

I'm always ready to welcome new furry friends into my life, even temporarily. Please let me know if you have any more questions! I work full time in OP so I am able to drop in on pets before or after my 8-5 shifts and anytime over the weekends. I like to make sure pets are comfortable with me and with each other, so I don't have pets stay in my own home. This is because I have many of my own pets. I only watch pets in their own homes.
About: I’ve had dogs of my own in the past years, as well as taken care of many of my friends dogs in the past years. I run my own business from home so I have all the time in the world to be attentive of your pet. I will always keep you updated as well. I can have your pet kenneled until it’s time to go do business. I work from home so I will be checking your pet often. I have a big yard for your pet to run around in. It is not fenced but I will put the leash on the pet if needed.

“Brandon and Nicole were awesome hosts for my Bud Man. He enjoyed the whole week with them. Looking forward to having them watch him again this summer. Thanks!!”
“Franklin loved it - so much, that he took a second to decide whether he wanted to stay or go home with me! ? Carly was responsive, sent pics & was flexible on hours, etc. Great experience!”
“Olga took great care of our puppy. This is the second time she has kept her and I always feel so good knowing our puppy is in good hands. She is very patient and caring and has a great home and safe space for the animals. She is very easy to communication with and always sends updates. We will definitely use her again and would definitely recommend her.”
“Chantelle was great. She was willing to meet up before our trip so Wilbur could meet her and she was so flexible with our plane delays. Wilbur seems to have had a great time despite being a very nervous dog. Chantelle did what she could to help make him happy and comfortable. We would use her again for future trips!”
“Abigail has watched our pups a couple of times now and she is wonderful! She sends lots of pictures and I can tell our dogs are well taken care of. Her dog Penny is sweet and a great play buddy!”
“Merley watched my Golden Grace. My dog had such a good time she didn’t want to leave! Merley and her family were so good to my dog - a real home away from home! Thank you so much!!”
“Thank you for being so flexible and for keeping them over the holiday. My boys had a great time and are already sleeping on the couch. :) will definitely book again!”

“The very best pet sitter person we have ever had ! Our puppies were treated great and so loved and happy. The older one needed extra therapy and TLC and those were provided for daily. Thank you so much!”
“Upon the first conversation and meeting, she made us feel comfortable and we knew our fur baby would be safe and well cared for. Being out of the country for 3 weeks, we needed no worries and Saige delivered! When we picked up Mali, she looked happy and loved. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you!”
“Nate is the best! I’m so thankful I found him & his family. Jett loves his whole family. I always know he is well cared for while I’m on vacation! Jett is always so excited to go on “his vacation to Nate’s!””
“Another absolutely amazing experience with Erin! I really appreciate the detailed communication and pictures for my dogs stay. It’s always a good sign when she comes home and just wants to nap! I can tell she got lots of love, play time, and was well taken care of! 10/10 as always! Thank you, Erin!!”
“My boys stayed with Naji while we went on vacation for the first time. She sent videos and pictures and updates daily. I a so appreciative and they had a great time! Will definitely book again (if she will have us) 😅😁”
“This was my first time leaving Lucy with a sitter like this, so I was definitely a little anxious. Melissa made the whole experience really easy and kept me updated while I was gone. Lucy came home happy and well taken care of, and I felt like she was in good hands the whole time. I’d definitely trust Melissa with Lucy again!”
“Shannon was incredible!! My 20 month old Goldendoodle, Cali, had a wonderful time staying with Shannon for four nights. She did all of Cali's favorite things-playing ball, daily walks, cuddling & spending lots of time together! She has a Goldendoodle named Hunter & the two of them got along great. Shannon sent lots of wonderful pictures & it was obvious that she cared for Cali as if she were her own! We will definitely be back & HIGHLY recommend Shannon. She's awesome!”
