“Stephanie and her girls were so sweet with my dog! She is also great with communication! I got multiple pictures of Rex doing what he loves. It is clear that she has taught her kids how to be respectful of an animal’s boundaries and letting them acclimate as they are in a new environment. I know Rex would be happy to go back for another visit!”
“The pets are always so well taken care of when they go to Crystal's! This was a short visit, but it was invaluable so we could safely move without worrying about our babies.”
“You can’t go wrong choosing Chelsea! She has been doing this gig for a long time and it shows—you can really tell she has fantastic (&impressive) insight and understanding of dogs, with extensive knowledge on body language and behaviors. And, it’s obvious she truly cares about all that are on her watch! Our female is pretty skittish around new dogs and new humans. Chelsea was so wonderful in working with me to make a plan to make sure everybody was comfortable and well taken care of while we were out of town. This really meant the world to me. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing my fur babies were in amazing hands and having so much fun. Not to mention, she has a fantastic set up for your furry family members to have a great time and get plenty of exercise! I was so impressed! I will definitely be using her in the future, and would highly recommend her service to anybody. Our pups are worn out after a really fun weekend at Chelsea’s! We’re looking forward to next time already!”
“Aisha was a tremendous help to us as we left our golden retriever puppy with her, for a week. She communicated with us to coordinate drop-off and throughout the week. She sent pictures to us each day. I will use her in the future and highly recommend her services.”
“Chris, Has been amazing thru this whole experience. From me messaging a bunch before as a first time using this service. To the whole booking. We received pictures, texts everything for the whole weekend. The dogs didn't 2 craps that we was dropping off somewhere new. Our dogs have never been boarded. This has been a amazing experience and we will continue to use Chris when we travel.”
“Scruffy enjoyed her stay with Chloe! She was made to feel at home and acclimated to her new surroundings quickly. Chloe sent pictures and updates. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I have owned dogs before I could even read. I have always loved dogs and have cared for a large variety of dogs, whether that be age, size, gender, or breed. I have such a love for dogs, I’ve considered becoming a dog trainer ever since I was a child. I’m not currently working, so I’m very flexible with reservations. Just let me know ahead of time and I can be very flexible with you! I remain consistent in their daily routines, especially for potty breaks. I am a huge advocate for positive reinforcement training, so I will make sure the dogs are recognized for doing good.
“Nina was amazing. Tucker had a lot of fun with her. I’m sure he enjoyed a lot playing with her big and sweet dogs. She sent me pictures and was very responsive. And besides that he got home worn out, meaning that he burned a lot of his energy.”
“Layne watched my Tyler (cat) for several evenings and provided daily pictures/updates on how he was doing!! She was friendly and professional and made the entire process very easy. Glad Tyler had a good place to stay!!! I would definitely recommend.”

“Our kitty, CoCo, loves attention and loves all people. Makayla took great care of her and kept us updated on her visits. Great to see CoCo in the images and video she shared. Makayla was easy to contact and quickly responded. Her time was greatly appreciated. Thanks”
About: I’ve worked in a veterinary clinic for 7 years and have lived with animals my entire life. I work with cats indoors and/or outdoors. All ages are accepted. I have experience in grooming/bathing, administering oral and injection medications, and wound care/bandaging. I have a part-time job but I make sure your pets take priority.
About: I’ve lived with cats my whole life and totally get their moods, quirks, and need for both space and love. I’m super patient and gentle, and I always try to bond with each cat in their own way, whether that means playtime, quiet company, or just making sure they feel safe. I’m comfortable with senior cats, kittens, giving medications, and yes… I don’t mind cleaning litter boxes either! I really enjoy making cats feel at home even when their people are away.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Oakton
“Stephanie and her family were absolutely wonderful. She sent frequent updates and photos throughout the day, took my pup on a long walk, and spent lots of time playing with him. From the photos, it was clear he was having an amazing time and was very well cared for. I would 100% recommend Stephanie and will happily book with her again. Thank you so much, Stephanie!”
“Titania is one of a kind, she was attentive and caring for Hank and gave me peace of mind being new to this. I will be returning anytime I need Hank watched. It was well worth the money to have her take care of him.”
“Copper enjoyed his time with Megan! This was his first visit and he loved it! We would rebook with Megan in a heartbeat. She communicated very well and gave us great info on his stay.”
“I am SO grateful for Makayla!! My two Aussies LOVED spending time with her and her Aussies! She’s an excellent communicator and made me and my pups feel so comfortable and welcome. She loved on my girls like they were her own. I highly recommend Makayla!”
About: I have had dogs all my life but have been dog sitting since I was 16 years old for neighbors, family and friends. Me and my wife have a home in Joplin missouri with a huge privacy fenced back yard. Rest assured your pets will have plenty of space for play and relaxing. I am photographer and a stay at home dad! This gives me the opportunity to be home all day for plenty of play and potty breaks. Our son is one year old but is never unsupervised around any pets. Our fenced in yard is very spacious and we have gated areas in our home to separate dogs from each other if needed. We have two dogs of our own Argyle & Daisy who are very friendly and love to play. They are also kept up to date on all vaccinations and are treated for fleas using Seresto collars. We do not have any issues with bugs of any kind and are a non smoking home. Pets are allowed on furniture and beds in our home and have comfy spaces everywhere. Be prepared for plenty of update pictures! We do not use pesticides or weed killer of any kind and our yard is kept chemical free. We also keep water indoors to prevent bacteria from building up. We refresh water as needed.
About: I have personally walked miles and miles with my own, very energetic Weimer. I had Cooper (my Weimer) for 14 years and we walked literally every single day, rain, snow, cold etc. We now have our 2nd Weimer and back at it again; love the exercise they provide for us!! I often walk my sisters dogs when she can’t due to health issues. I’m ready, and have my walking shoes on! I’m retired now and walking my dog keeps me moving and I love it! I’m ready to add additional exercise for your dogs too! Let’s go! We have a fenced yard and one 6 year old friendly Weimer. We keep our dog inside but playtime occurs outdoors on great summer days

About: I’ve taken care of my grandmas dog she has 17 from small to large dogs and I feed them and let them pee when need to. I am currently employed many I don’t have a study hours so I will let you know what my hours are when it comes time. I let my dog to go outside to pee or poop every 2 hours sometimes sooner depending if he had a lot to eat and drink I so feed him though out the day but with my grandma dog some are on a time schedule to be feed
About: I love animals! I’ve had my dogs for five years and when I was growing up I was always around horses and dogs even cats! It’s my everyday duty to take care of three dogs! Every dog deserves love! I have a huge fenced in yard they get to run and play in! They are super well taken care of and have tons of toys. They will be loved and taken care of! It’s my everyday duty to take care of three adult dogs. I’m always trying to keep myself busy on my days off to watch your puppers & keep them safe. I love doing it in my free time.🤍🤍 I have a huge yard for them to run & play. Also keep an eye on them when they are outside. Plus they will have time to eat and rest after a day of playing.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 5 and I’ve loved it ever since. I’ve had owned many dogs and cats. I’ve helped with pets of all ages, from tiny babies to sweet seniors. I’m going to school for animal behavior and care because animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I love making sure they’re happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Right now, I am going to school online for my bachelors while working! Pet care is the perfect way for me to stay busy doing something I love while also helping people out. It fits into my routine really well right now because I have the time and flexibility, and it gives me experience for my future career with animals. It’s a win-win, I get to be around pets and give them the love and care they deserve while I’m in this in-between stage. When I’m caring for pets in someone’s home, I treat it like my own, with a lot of respect and care. I always follow your instructions closely because every pet has their own routine and comfort zone. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to their feeding schedule, giving meds, or just keeping them company, I focus on creating a calm and happy environment. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home, and I don’t take that lightly.
