About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, and recently gained experience caring for cats, birds and rabbits. I have also spent some free time volunteering in animal shelters so I am comfortable with all animal sizes. I hope to care for your fur baby soon! I currently work remotely full time which allows me to spend time with pets who are in need of boarding. Because of my time at home, pets will receive lots of attention and care. I have a fenced yard and two dogs who are fully vaccinated and enjoy playing with others. One is an American foxhound and the other is a great dane
“Staci is an excellent pet sitter that provides amazing care for our Maggie. Maggie has separation anxiety and needed to start developing social skills to help her with separation and just overall being around other people and pets. I am so happy that I found Staci, because after just the first time that she cared for Maggie, I can see how happy my furbaby gets when I even put her in the car seat. Maggie gets so excited because she knows we are on our way to a play date or overnight fun filled stay with Staci. I’ve observed how much calmer Maggie is and how much she loves to be at her sitters house. Thank you Staci for caring for our Maggie with such love and care. My family and I appreciate you so much. -Dina”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both a senior dog and a high-energy Golden Retriever puppy. This has taught me how to balance gentle, patient care with active play, training support, and consistent routines to meet each dog’s unique needs. I work from home so I’ll be home with the pups all day long! I’m able to take them out as needed throughout the day and can feed them or provide any other individual care they may need! My home is pet-safe with an indoor gate for added security, and I provide regular, supervised potty breaks to ensure pets stay comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

About: Have owned my own dogs and cats over the years. As they've grown older and passed on, I have satisfied my love for animals by caring for my kids' pets when they go on vacation. I've gone to their house and stayed, but also they have stayed in my home while mom and dad are away. We go for walks, and I have a fenced in yard and doggy door them to come and go as they please. Like my grandkids: I love having them and playing, but I also love the flexibility of sending them back to mom and dad! I am a retired teacher and am home most days. I have various errands during the day, or other things, but nothing that would interfere with visiting guests. I no longer have a dog of my own but our visiting fur babies ( and the grands) have a fenced yard with doggy door. Dogs are secure inside the back yard. I care for one dog, that loves the back yard and wants to stay out all day, weather permitting. He is safe and secure there with water and shade, and comes in when he is ready. But most of the dogs come inside. They are free to go out to play and do their business.
“Tracey was amazing! She sent consistent updates with pictures so we always felt like we knew what Marvin was doing! Marvin had a blast and was super tired from all of the fun activities. Repeat customers for sure!”
About: I work from home, which makes it easy for me to care for your pets and give them the attention they deserve. My work from home schedule also allows for me to have flexible availability for drop-ins and walks during the work day. I have one dog, Jippy, who is basically a goofy teddy bear. He spends a lot of time with other dogs and loves having fur friends around. I love animals and can promise yours will be in good hands with me. Feel free to send me a message with any questions! I currently work from home in a job that allows me flexibility. This allows me to provide care for your dog, whether in-home, or just a drop-in or walk. Whatever parameters are set for your pet will be followed. I have experience with dogs with many different personalities and needs and am happy to adapt as necessary to keep them comfortable.
“Emily was wonderful with Benny! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and happy while he was there. She gave me regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. She was very thoughtful, and easy to work with from start to finish. Benny gets super excited every time we arrive to drop him there. I would absolutely book with Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“Dylan is really good with dogs. Everything you'd want for a dog sitter! My dog immediately liked him and I could tell he was really cared and had fun while we were gone. Dylan kept us updated with pictures and commutes very well. It was great. I'll definitely check with him first for our future needs. Highly recommended!”
“Jessica is the best! She is kind, knowledgeable, and loving to both animal and human. She made sure to take care of my pup and I: knowing our health needs, enforcing good manners and training, offering plenty of play, answering any questions I have, keeping me posted throughout his stay, and of course sharing so many cute photos! I picked up a happy, tired pup. Will definitely be asking Jessica for help in future ?”

Our home has a fenced yard and is located in a safe, walkable neighborhood with plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. Pets are treated like family here and are welcome throughout the home.
About: Extensive background training dogs (15+ years), experienced dog owner, opening up my home to welcome other dogs for doggie daycare and boarding. My current resident dog had hosted 25+ foster siblings each year since he was 6 months old. He loves to play but also loves a couch nap. Our children are young but have grown up raising foster dogs. I have an extensive history working with younger (and shy) dogs on crate-training, house training, and general obedience skills. Our resident dog is extremely submissive and gets a long with any friendly dog. I am a stay at home mom who recently left my part time job. Other than carpool and driving kids around to activities, I am home most of the day. We love dogs in our home and our resident dog is used to having other dogs around (friends’ dogs and foster siblings). I have a fully fenced yard and one friendly resident dog to keep your dog company. We have baby gates throughout the house for dogs who are not used to being crated and happy to crate your dog during times we are away from the house.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life—often caring for more than one at a time—so daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and recognizing behavior patterns are second nature to me. I also have experience caring for cats and small animals, and I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I’m very detail-oriented and take the time to follow your pet’s routine closely, whether that’s specific feeding instructions, medication schedules, preferred walking routes, or favorite toys and habits. I understand that consistency is what helps pets feel safe and at ease, especially when their owners are away. You can expect thoughtful, reliable care and consistent updates so you always know how your pet is doing. As a teacher, I have expanded availability during the summer and can take on additional bookings during that time. Currently, I offer evening and weekend availability and do my best to accommodate schedules with advance notice. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a friendly, well-socialized dog in my home who gets along well with others; however, I always introduce pets gradually and will keep my dog separated or crated as needed until everyone is fully comfortable. Pets in my care receive regular leash walks, plenty of playtime, and mental stimulation to keep them happy and engaged. I follow all routines and instructions closely and am happy to accommodate any specific requests to make sure your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for.

I work full days on Fridays, but outside of that I’m flexible. I always follow your care instructions, keep a clean and secure environment, and make sure pets have fresh water, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of love.
About: I’ve worked with several different dog breeds that vary in temperament for over 10 years. I do my best to ensure that each dog is comfortable and relaxed during their stay. My home has an open yard but I take most of the dogs to a dog park near by. My dog Casper is very sweet and loves to play. He will definitely keep your fur baby company. I currently work full time however, I do work from home. Their care routine will align with my dog’s unless a specific routine is needed. I will provide pictures, videos and/or update messages to you throughout your pet’s stay. If any issues arise I will be sure to notify you as soon as possible.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since the age 5. I taken care of friends, family, and even my own dogs. I love fur babies, take care of everyone’s fur baby like they are my own! I’m available weekdays and some weekends I work at an animal hospital during weekends . Weekdays are pretty open for me, I have open availability In my home, I have a fenced in back yard, as well as a large crate. Plenty of pet toys to play with in the house or even in the back yard ! Anything your pet needs I can do, and whatever i do not know how to do, I am very willing to learn how to do it. I am trained to give any kind of medications(including insulin) that your pet may need. I am trained to deal with aggressive animals, I know how to walk dogs while avoiding other dogs that may interfere . I am very responsible, respectful, and trusting.
“Kelsey is awesome! She made such a great first impression! I can tell she truly loves dogs. She took the time to love on my two doggos and sent pictures and gave an update on her time with them. We will be having Kelsey come back again! Thank you for letting us not have to worry when we are away from our fur babies, Kelsey!”
About: I have taken care of puppies, kittens, and senior animals. I know how to train puppies and administer medicine for older pets if needed . I am no longer working full-time. I have the time and energy to take care of your animals during those time one is unable to. I can do pop ins, pet walks, play dates, pet care for a weekend or a week whatever is needed I’m your person. I’m free
About: My connection with fur babies runs deep. I have, often, felt more connected to animals than humans. I believe we all have had animals that we love but, usually, there is one animal that changes everything. You know the one I’m talking about….the one that the connection is (or was), somehow, different or deeper than the others. I call those animals Familiars. Maybe that resonates with you too. Either way, I fully grasp that trusting someone to take care of your fur baby is not just a big deal but, it is a privilege for someone to experience. I have thirteen years of experience taking care of different animals. This includes administering medications, providing senior/end-of-life care (I have a soft spot for the elderly), and learning to understand the language in which animals speak. I, also, have experience rescuing, fostering, and re-homing Australian Shepards. I believe in respect, safety, connection, and consent when it comes to animals. I believe that all animals come into this world to help heal us and I just want to be able to give back (in whatever way I can) a small piece of what they gift me, every day. It would be such an honor to help get to take care of, work WITH, and get to know your little (or big) ball of fur. As an Artist/Creator, my schedule is more flexible than most people. When planned in advance, I have ample time to make sure your fur babies are safe, happy, and healthy when you cannot be there! I ask a lot of questions so I can know and understand the specifics of what each animal needs. My primary goal is to make sure the interaction is safe, for both me and your fur baby. Then, it is my job to ensure your animal is comfortable, content, and they have a good time! I believe this can only happen by working with the owners (and then, with the fur babies).

“Vanessa takes my 1 year old puppy to her yard to exercise and play everyday! I work and don’t have a fenced in yard so I can’t explain how much of a help it is to me and my household. Very kind, generous, responsible and knows a lot about training/caring for dogs. Would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone.”

“Kelsey is AMAZING! She cared for my two pups Neko (American Bully Pit) and Nala (Boxer mix) for the weekend as if they were her own. She updated me regularly with tons of pictures of them playing, running at the dog park, relaxing watching TV, walks, and enjoying treats. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my babies. They looked like they had a ton of fun. I highly recommend Kelsey if you are looking for a sitter! Thank you Kelsey for loving on my babies while I was away ?”
