About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities and truly treat every dog like my own. I’m especially comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and those that need structure or boundaries—I’m currently raising a puppy myself, so I understand training, routines, and behavior firsthand. What sets me apart is the environment and attention I provide. I have plenty of space for dogs to safely explore, get their energy out, and decompress—without the chaos of a crowded kennel. I focus on structured care, including consistent feeding schedules, potty routines, supervised play, and calm downtime so your dog feels secure and balanced. I’m attentive, patient, and very in tune with behavior, whether that’s managing puppy nipping, reinforcing good habits, or helping dogs feel comfortable in a new environment. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. I work a consistent schedule and am able to provide reliable, attentive care every day. Dogs in my care are not left alone for long periods, and I make sure they get regular potty breaks, playtime, and structured routines throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks, with flexibility for weekends and extended stays. My goal is to keep your dog’s routine as close to home as possible so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured environment with plenty of space for supervised outdoor time and exercise. Because I have a large private property, dogs have room to explore while always being closely monitored. I am experienced with different temperaments, including puppies and high-energy dogs, and I focus on maintaining good behavior, routines, and boundaries during their stay. Dogs are never left unsupervised outside, and I can crate if requested or follow your dog’s normal home routine. I take time to understand each dog’s needs, personality, and preferences so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

I’m currently a stay at home mommy with a very flexible schedule, and I am available every day for drop in visits and walks and snuggles. I am happy to provide meet and greets for a small fee to help your dog or cat become comfortable with me before starting to provide services! I will also come bearing treats if you, the owner, are okay with that. I promise to help your furbaby feel safe and loved, and send you photos of our time together.

I I have boarded several at my home for a week at a time and was able to give owners piece of mind. I also dog sit/ house sit as needed due to the ages of the pets. The older pets tend to be more at ease in their own space. I walk every morning with my dog and other dogs for my health as well as theirs. Keeping pets moving keeps them young!

“Where to even begin with Sariah. She has been walking our boys for months now and we would be lost without her. Originally she started off walking our lab and terrier mix and they both absolutely adored her. Then we unexpectedly had to put our terrier down and she missed him just as much as we did. A month later we rescued our yorkie and she didn’t hesitate taking him on. He wasn’t leash trained, was scared and just over all a traumatized dog. She helped him walk on a leash, carried him when he needed to be carried and loved him through. We are devastated at her moving and not being able to care for our boys anymore. We always knew they were in good hands with her. Sariah thank you so much for taking care of our boys as we would and loving them. You will be missed dearly.”

I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs, including seniors and those requiring daily medications. In addition to my clinical experience, I’ve trained my own working line dog from 8 weeks old to adulthood, giving me hands on experience with puppy training, structure, and behavior management. I also currently have a young puppy, so I understand the patience and consistency needed for early training stages. This diverse background has made me confident handling animals of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. What sets me apart is my ability to combine professional veterinary knowledge with real world training experience, allowing me to provide safe, attentive, and reliable care for every pet. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I’m a full-time online student, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m able to be home throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins, and I can easily adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs. Whether a pet requires frequent potty breaks, structured routines, or just extra attention, I’m able to provide consistent and reliable care. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets on their normal schedule to reduce stress, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure to keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a structured but relaxed environment with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and exercise. I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and comfort at all times, and I adjust care depending on age, energy level, and any special needs. With my background in veterinary medicine, I’m also able to monitor for any changes in behavior or health and respond appropriately if concerns arise.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 16. Friends, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and take care of their pets! I am currently a college student available Thursday evenings thru Sundays. I have plenty of free time on the weekends to play with your pets. I am open to housesitting or stopping in for visits. I am able to care for your pet by taking them on frequent walks, playing with them inside or out, and treating them as I would my own pet!
About: I’ve had my dog for almost 8 years as well as took care of her 8 pups 4 years ago. I’ve also had over 10 dogs growing up. We love to play, take walks and cuddle. I work from home so I am able to tend to your pets needs. I also have a 5 year old daughter who loves dogs just as much as I do. I work from home so pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I only leave the house for about 20 mins to take my daughter to and from school. I have one fur baby to keep your dog company. My complex has a dog park. And the neighborhood is great for walking. I also have an extra bedroom dedicated to extra pets if needed.

“Scarlett was absolutely amazing with our pups! Treated them so well! Updated us often with pictures, did great with the instructions given and adapted great on the fly when I forgot to tell her a few things beforehand. Will definitely bring my pups back again!”
“Jamie and her family watched our Golden for 4 days and it went beautifully! Great yard, great communication, her kids and dogs seemed to mesh well with Lemon. Highly recommend!”
“Bethany genuinely cared for our dog and his special quirks. She’s understanding, helpful and very reassuring throughout the initial meeting process and during the dog sitting process. We will definitely leave our dog with her again!”
“Bryanna was amazing with our dog! She was very communicative throughout the entire process, beginning with a meet & greet all the way through the week stay. She asked a lot of questions during the meet & greet to make sure she knew our dog’s needs well, and that was very reassuring. We received daily updates and photos, and our dog looked so happy in them. We definitely plan to use Bryanna again!”
“Lawrence was such a great sitter! He communicated with us frequently, sent us pictures throughout our pup's stay, and kept our boy happy the entire time. I was very confident in Lawrence's ability to watch our dog and you can tell he is quite experienced and comfortable with big dogs. I will definitely be using him in the future!”
“Alison and Richard are awesome! So accommodating and flexible with drop off and pick up. They have a beautiful home with lots of room for the dogs to run. Highly recommend!”
About: I have spent my entire adult life with dogs & love them dearly. My 2 dogs love to play with other dogs as well as each other. I am a retired stay at home widow who loves dogs. I can devote most my time having dogs in my home to love and care for. I have a large fenced in yard specifically for the care & safety purposes of my dogs and the dogs I am caring for in my home.
“Flower enjoyed her weekend with Donald! She was well taken care of and loved while we were gone. Drop off and pick-up were easy! Donald also sent several pictures of Flower while in his care and was easy to get in touch with while we were gone. We appreciated his care of Flower and will definitely use his services in the future!”
“Madison was fantastic! Koa had the time of her life. They had a nice home and a fenced in yard. Madison provided daily pictures and updates of Koa which gave us peace of mind! Will definitely be booking again in the future.”
“Beth was so good with my dog. It was a last minute booking and she was so incredibly accommodating. I am so appreciative of her and her gentle nature caring for my pup. She also fosters a dog and he and my dog got along well, and even tuckered my high energy border collie/aussie mix out. She was so intentional in caring for my dog that she was worried about keeping her clean after long play sessions in her fenced in yard that was muddy from the rain, and that means a lot. That somebody watching my dog would care enough to keep her clean. Thanks so much Beth, if I ever need a sitter again, I know where to turn.”
“Jettson had a blast with Jeremy and his family. Would def choose them to dog sit for us again! They kept us updated the entire time we were away and treated our fur baby like their own.”
“Lipika did a wonderful job watching Maple. Maple appeared comfortable at all times around her, and I would trust her anytime with my dogs! She sent frequent updates, accompanied by photos and videos, and she made sure to take note of her poops and behavior in case there were any potential health concerns. Maple also enjoyed playing with Lipika’s daughter, which I’m sure Maple loved. If you’re looking for a communicative and thoughtful sitter, Lipika should be your go-to!”
“Caitlin is soooo amazing! She sent updates, videos, and asked questions. She gave my dog additional dog food because I didn’t pack enough. I will definitely reach out in the future because my dog loved her and she loves my dog 😊”
“Arya is awesome - highly recommend! She was very active and loving with our goldendoodle. She also was very communicative with pictures and letting us know how he was doing throughout the week. Definitely would book her again!”
