“Mafe was absolutely wonderful with my lil by Gru. She kept me informed of how he was adjusting to her. She sent me pics as well. I recommend her and I willdefinitely be using her again.”
“Rob was great with our girls. This was an acclimation visit to familiarize. This family is very understanding of special needs & requests. Our pups were well taken care of. We believe we have found our care team.”
“Amazing service. She took great care of my dog and had great communication with me, providing updates and pictures. Would definitely use again and recommend to anyone.”
“Heather was amazing with Milo! She provided regular updates with photos, and made sure he was as comfortable as possible. She was very responsive leading up to dropping him off, and was kind throughout the entire process. I truly appreciate Heather watching my pup and would recommend her to any dog parent! ☺️”
“Monica and her husband were the absolute best!! During our meet and greet I immediately felt comfortable with them. I have had a previous meet and greet experience where I felt uncomfortable within a few minutes and felt pressured to choose that home. Monica let Peyton become comfortable with her and her husband before introducing their fur baby. We stayed long enough to ensure everyone would be a good fit for each other. I received videos and pictures while Peyton was there and I could tell he was receiving plenty of love and cuddles whoch was very important to me. My fur baby did not seem stressed or uncared for when I picked him up. If you want a good home for your fur baby and piece of mind while you are away, I would definitely recommend Monica. You will not regret your choice.”
“We could not have asked for a better pet sitter for Jack and Gracie! Gail was absolutely wonderful and we were always getting updates and pictures of our sweet pups! We would highly recommend her to anyone and will definately be using her again for our pet sitting needs!”
“This was the perfect boarding experience from beginning to end. The level of care, professionalism, and attention to detail was exceptional. It was clear right away that my pet was in safe, capable, and genuinely caring hands. Everything was handled exactly the way I hoped it would be. Communication was excellent, updates were reassuring, and every detail was managed with care. The environment felt safe, clean, organized, and welcoming. Most importantly, my pet was comfortable, well cared for, and treated with real kindness and patience. What stood out most was the boarder’s attitude. They were dependable, thoughtful, attentive, and clearly take pride in what they do. It is rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such a warm and personal touch. If you are looking for the ideal boarding service, this is it. Trustworthy, responsive, caring, and truly top-tier in every way. I would absolutely use this service again and highly recommend it to anyone who wants real peace of mind when leaving their pet in someone else’s care”
“Shekenia is amazing. My babies love her and they were well taken care of. The consistent updates and pictures were awesome. Thank you so much for taking care of my babies as if they were your own.”
“Morgan took great care of my dog! She kept me up to date at all times and sent me many pictures as evidence that my dog was having a lot of fun! Whenever I need someone to care for my dog, Morgan will be the first on the list!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little! I've always loved animals and wanted to take on the responsibility of caring for them. Whether this was my next door neighbors or my own, I was always up for the job! I own a mini horse (my 1 year old saint bernard), 1 inside only cat, and 2 outside cats. As for work, I am a fourth grade teacher and have the patience and enthusiasm to be the pet sitter you need. I am currently out for summer break as an elementary teacher. My schedule is very open and flexible until mid August. All types of pet care fit into my routine until then. Once I go back to work, my pet sitting services will be limited to afternoons and weekends. I have a fenced in backyard that connects to another fenced in yard belonging to my parents and their two dogs. These areas are closed off unless I want the dogs to have some play time. All 3 dogs, including my own, are very sweet and get along well! Dog can be easily crated if needed, I own a large crate with a lot of room. As for your home, I will treat it like it's my own and love your pets like they are my own. Animals provide a nice change from the chaos that goes on in the everyday life of a teacher. I look forward to taking your fur baby on walks, providing enrichment, and cleaning litter boxes or other pet related needs!

“Stephen did a great job at keeping us informed everyday. All seemed to go well. Unfortunately, my boys are not social at all and hid from Steve every time he came over. So Steve never got to bond with my boys. They were fed and the litter box was cleaned. My house was in order when we got home. Steve is my new go to sitter!”

“Madison was extremely helpful with my Maverick. Not only did she accommodate pick up and drop off times, but she was also able to sense Maverick was overwhelmed on the first day, and took the time to get to know him. By the second day, he was much more relaxed with her and Benji, so I know he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again. Thanks, Madison!”

About: I grew up around dogs all my life, as many as three at one time! When I moved away for college, friends would ask me to look after their dogs and I would happily oblige--it was a win-win for everyone! I was always a bit bummed when the dogs went home, so I adopted my own about 5 years ago--a sweet Samoyed named Reverie. I still occasionally look after friends' dogs and Reverie has been great with other dogs around the house, so your dogs will get some built in companionship from Reverie while they stay with us :) Currently, I am in medical school studying for exams at home, which offers great flexibility in providing services for you and your pets. Reverie and I would love to welcome your dog into our daily routine of study and regular walks around the local park! I am comfortable with giving medications, brushing teeth, and basic grooming. I'd be happy to learn your daily care routine to make the transition as smooth and comfortable as possible!
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12. It all started when my mom’s friend couldn’t find the time to make sure her pup was happy.

I have a fenced yard and very loving children who are very familiar with pets. My home will be like a second home to your pet.
About: I have been around dogs literally my whole life. I don't remember a time since I was born that I didn't have a dog. From sleeping on our pit bull as a toddler to rescuing a shelter baby to keep me company at college dogs have been an amazing part of my story. I'd even like to think that because of my fur babies I was more prepared to taken on the new journey of becoming a parent of an amazing little girl. Because of these experiences, I have learned many things about not only catering to a variety of personalities, but being creative in entertainment and time management. With these skills and all the added free time I have now that my daughter has started school I can assure you that not only will I be easily accessible for your needs, but I will make sure that you and your pet are sure to have a comfortable and enjoyable time using my services.

I like being up early and don’t mind being out all day. I can keep your gates and doors locked while we are inside. Make sure the dog is always on a leash before opening a door for a walk.

I’m currently self-employed and have a lot of extra time on my hands to help take some time off of yours! I have a very large backyard that is fenced in, all my dogs love to run around in it. My furr baby, Cherry, is crate trained and loves to spend most of her time inside!
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can make time throughout the week to care for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care depending on the owner’s needs. I enjoy spending time with animals, so I always make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I prioritize pet safety by following owner instructions, supervising pets closely, keeping environments secure, and providing gentle, attentive care while sending updates so owners feel confident.
About: I am an experienced and dedicated pet caregiver with a lifelong love of animals. I have previously owned both a Beagle and a Greyhound and am currently a proud cat parent to seven cats. In addition, I have successfully fostered and cared for eight litters of kittens, providing attentive care from infancy through adoption readiness. My experience extends beyond my own pets, as I regularly help care for my family's pets, including two dogs and a cat. I have also provided reliable pet-sitting services for close friends, caring for multiple dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles while they were away on vacation or at work. I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines, and I am committed to providing compassionate, dependable care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply maintaining their regular routine, I am dedicated to ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. As a full-time college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care, including walks, feeding, and in-home visits. Pet care is a great fit for me because it complements my studies while giving me the opportunity to spend time with animals I love. Your fur babies will receive plenty of attention and companionship, and they'll make wonderful study buddies while I ensure they are happy, safe, and well cared for. Pets are family to me. My own animals are spoiled with love, affection, and attention, and I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. I understand that being away from their owners can be stressful, so I make it a priority to give them plenty of love, comfort, playtime, and companionship to help them feel happy and secure until their family returns.

“Kristen has a wonderful personality and made me and Gye, my 1 year old Akita, feel secure about her services. Nothing but good vibes. Her knowledge of greeting him, and handling him worked very well. She was extremely flexible, responsive and professional in our phone, text and email conversations. She followed the protocol left for her with no problems at all. I highly recommend her and will look to connect with her again. Thanks Kristen!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs every since I was a child. From helping neighbors, friend and family care and love on their babies to owning my very own house full of fur babies. My husband and I foster cats and dogs with a handful of amazing rescues, we have been doing this for 5 years now and have accumulated a few “foster fails.” The last year we have primarily fostered newborn puppies or litters with mom included. Youngest animals I’ve cared for were 3 week old puppies and our oldest dog right now is 16 years young. I’m currently between travel assignments so I am home full time! I have a completely open and free schedule to help with your animals needs. I have a fenced in back yard and 2 pups to keep your dog company! All my dogs are up to date on vaccines, crate-trained, temperament tested, and socialized through day care. My house is also large enough where I have been able to section of an area as my foster dog/boarding area, that is completely separated from my dogs crates.
About: I've worked in a nursing home and coached youth sport camps throughout my young adult years. I grew up with dogs and I now have two of my own; a 4 year old mini-cockerpoo, who is very playful, friendly, and submissive, and a 2 yr old Australian-labradoodle. I live an active lifestyle and am very affectionate so you can find us at the dog park, on walks/runs, or all cuddled up together! I am available for services every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, usually with 3 days notice. I am very active and like to bring my own dogs to the dog park almost daily, so I aim to prioritize and maximize their activity needs. I live in a house with long leash extensions for my dogs to play in our spacious yard (working on a fence soon). I aim to take them to the dog park daily and they are very playful, friendly, submissive, active, and cuddly so I can take him on both the small and big dog side. I am very engaging, energetic, loving, and caring so I like to give my all to the dogs and create a fun and safe environment for them to exert all their energy and cozy up to me when they’ve got nothing left.

“Monica and her husband were the absolute best!! During our meet and greet I immediately felt comfortable with them. I have had a previous meet and greet experience where I felt uncomfortable within a few minutes and felt pressured to choose that home. Monica let Peyton become comfortable with her and her husband before introducing their fur baby. We stayed long enough to ensure everyone would be a good fit for each other. I received videos and pictures while Peyton was there and I could tell he was receiving plenty of love and cuddles whoch was very important to me. My fur baby did not seem stressed or uncared for when I picked him up. If you want a good home for your fur baby and piece of mind while you are away, I would definitely recommend Monica. You will not regret your choice.”

It was clear right away that my pet was in safe, capable, and genuinely caring hands. Everything was handled exactly the way I hoped it would be. Communication was excellent, updates were reassuring, and every detail was managed with care. The environment felt safe, clean, organized, and welcoming. Most importantly, my pet was comfortable, well cared for, and treated with real kindness and patience. What stood out most was the boarder’s attitude. They were dependable, thoughtful, attentive, and clearly take pride in what they do. It is rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such a warm and personal touch. If you are looking for the ideal boarding service, this is it. Trustworthy, responsive, caring, and truly top-tier in every way. I would absolutely use this service again and highly recommend it to anyone who wants real peace of mind when leaving their pet in someone else’s care”
