“Miyu is excellent! I highly recommend. She's kind and consistently expressed care and attention to my dog. I know my dog was well cared for and we look forward to booking her in the future.”
“Nova had a great time with Shawn and Charles! Their backyard was perfect for her to get out all of her energy with a chuck-it, and there were large windows to lazily gaze out while relaxing around. They went above and beyond for Nova’s water-dog tendencies by allowing her to splash in the bath after getting hot. She also came home with some homemade treats! 🥰”
“So happy we found Marilyn and her family to board my miniature schnauzer for 6 days. They are all love for dogs and Tita felt that instantly since it is all she needs. I was so relaxed during my vacations since I would receive daily updates and pictures. It was also fun for Tita since she even received Puppy cups. Marilyn and the kids took care of our puppy as if she was their own. As I told her, they are all love for animals, definitely very special people with a big heart. Oh since they are going to miss her, we already booked for next month for our beach getaway :)”
“We left our dog Harley with Tracy again, this time for a week and she was great! Super communicative and send us lots of updates and pics which we appreciated! We are grateful to have found such a a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Megan was so loving with our puppy and relaxed about her transgressions (like eating her house plants and getting modest about pottying outside. She kept in very good touch and we especially loved getting photos and reports of our puppy’s bidding and ultimately great relationship with Megan’s lovely two-year-old dog and one other puppy border. Drop off and pick-up were very efficient. She is a really nice and well-organized person.”

I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and following their normal routines so they feel at home.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Willow Ridge
About: For nearly 20 years, caring for animals has been one of my greatest joys. I have 19 years of pet care experience, including 15 years as a devoted cat owner, and currently care for a flock of chickens and an angora rabbit on our peaceful two-acre woodland property. I offer boarding and doggy daycare in a calm, home-based environment where dogs can enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor time, new scents to explore, and lots of individual attention. Our chickens are securely fenced in their own area, and our rabbit is safely housed in the garage, allowing visiting pets to relax comfortably in their own space. I understand that every pet is unique. Whether your dog loves adventure and play or prefers a quiet place to nap, I’ll work to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. For cat owners, I also offer home visits so your feline friends can stay happy and stress-free in the comfort of their own home. When your pet stays with me, they’re treated like family—not just a booking. You’ll receive attentive care, regular updates, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pet is in experienced, caring hands. Pet care is naturally woven into our daily life. As a homeschooling family, I have the flexibility to provide attentive care, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for long stretches. We live on a peaceful two-acre woodland property and maintain a home where animals are loved, respected, and considered part of the family. Caring for animals is already part of our routine, from tending our flock of chickens to caring for our angora rabbit. My wife and I are proud to provide a welcoming, inclusive environment for all families, including LGBTQ+ families, and we strive to create a safe, respectful space for everyone. Our 8½-year-old daughter is a budding farmer and fellow animal lover who has grown up helping care for animals with kindness and respect. Together, we’ve created a home environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and engagement. Because I work from home and homeschool, I’m able to adapt to each pet’s needs and schedule, helping them feel comfortable, secure, and right at home during their stay. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. We have a spacious, open home with no indoor pets, allowing visiting dogs to settle in comfortably and enjoy plenty of personal attention. Our property spans two peaceful wooded acres, providing a calm environment away from busy roads and heavy traffic. Our resident animals—a flock of chickens and an angora rabbit—are securely housed in separate fenced or enclosed areas and do not interact with visiting pets. We also maintain a fenced garden area, helping ensure clear boundaries throughout the property. While our yard is not fully fenced, all outdoor time is carefully supervised. Dogs will be leashed during walks and outdoor adventures, and I closely monitor all activity to ensure their safety. Guests can enjoy plenty of fresh air, woodland strolls, sniffing opportunities, exercise, and enrichment while remaining under attentive supervision. For in-home cat visits, I follow each family’s instructions carefully, maintain your cat’s routine, and ensure your home is left secure after every visit. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I believe safety starts with attentive supervision, clear communication, and treating every animal as if they were my own.
“Amanda has been a blessing. I am new to the area and have travel hour and work hours issues that she has graciously accommodated. My pup is also a Cushings and she follows his eating protocol. If you’re in need of a sitter immediately she is very reliable. Thank you Amanda!”
About: I’m an experienced and attentive dog caregiver who truly loves spending time with animals. Over the years, I’ve cared for many dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have a large, fully fenced yard that gives dogs plenty of room to run, play, and explore safely. I’m very observant and hands-on, so pet parents can feel confident that their dogs will receive lots of attention, supervision, exercise, and affection throughout their stay. I work from home and have plenty of time and attention to give to your dog(s). I wake up early so we can get outside before it gets too hot. Happy for short or long stays! I have an acre fenced yard that is reinforced every few inches that is full of fun and smells and space to run. They will always be supervised, and indoors there is lots of cozy spots to lay and/or cuddle.
“Shawn and Charles were absolutely wonderful! We needed a dog sitter for just a few hours while we were traveling so we could attend a baby shower, and they made the whole experience easy and stress-free. They were friendly and from the moment we met them, we felt completely at ease leaving our dog in their care, and it was obvious our dog was comfortable with them too. They shared photo updates while we were away, which gave us extra peace of mind and let us see that Goose was happy and well cared for. It's clear they enjoy spending time with dogs and treat them like family. We wouldn't hesitate to book Shawn and Charles again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitters!”

About: I’ve pet sat my friends animals, and they’ve had so many! Senior dogs that have accidents and have behavioral issues. Exotic pets, of many kids. Every morning, I fill the cat and water bowl in my room, weekly I clean the bowls. For my dogs, whenever my parents don’t feed them cause they are out, I feed them and fill their water. I brush their coats, and try to give them baths every few weeks or so! However the pet parents would like, but I care for what is best for their health. I understand each pet is different and needs different things. I can bathe the animals depending on behavior, my right leg doesn't haven't as much feeling since surgery and cant handle a lot of big pressure.

About: As the current pet parent of two spirited cats, Duke and Louie, I understand firsthand how important it is to find the right person to care for your pets. They are family, and choosing someone trustworthy, attentive, and dependable can make all the difference when you are away. My experience includes caring for my own pets, two cats and, previously, an energetic dog, as well as caring for the pets of friends and family for extended periods. This has included dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I have cared for pets at a variety of life stages, from young, high-energy animals to seniors who benefit from a slower pace and extra attention. I am especially patient with pets that are shy, anxious, cautious, or simply need more time to become comfortable with someone new. I never force interaction; instead, I pay close attention to body language, respect boundaries, and allow trust to build at each pet’s pace. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and commitment to maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I carefully follow instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter-box care, and household routines. I am dependable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing clear communication and regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m currently on sabbatical, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to pet care. I’m available for weekday and weekend walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, including daytime, evening, and overnight care. I can often accommodate last-minute requests as well. I provide care in your home, where your pet can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, potty breaks, litter-box care, and home security. During walks and visits, I prioritize safe leash handling, secure doors and gates, and awareness of other animals and surroundings. I will also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Kat is such a patient and friendly lady. She’s great with dogs and very responsible when walking my dog. She even brought a raincoat for my dog on rainy days which is so considerate. I’ll definitely come back again to her if I need someone to take care of my dog in the future. :))”
About: I've always enjoyed taking care of animals all of my life. While not being able to own too many myself, I have always opted to taking care of other's pets, whether it be dogs, cats, or something else. I am always happy to see/find new experiences, and am up to the challenge for anything new! I'm taking online classes currently, so my schedule is open after 8AM! If needed slightly earlier, I will try my best to compensate for such a need, as my schedule is very flexible. I live in a townhouse, so I do not have a fenced yard or any of the sort, however, I can provide a quality experience with your pets in attention and exercise!

About: Since childhood, I've been surrounded by dogs, dog training and field trial competition. I've cared for dogs, cats, pigeons, fish, hamsters, gerbils, and horses and I enjoy each creature's personality and gifts. I've worked in the hospitality industry my whole life and now, I'm looking forward to spending my time with my family, my animals, my crafts and travel. Part time pet care allows me to do all of that! Taking care of other folks' animals is a pleasure for me. Our beloved pets simply want activity, love, and care...and FOOD! I'm very comfortable with senior pets or young animals, and can adapt to each animal's need for interaction. I'm experienced following detailed instructions, administering medications, and adhering to schedules and routines. I also like hanging with your animal -- sometimes a pet wants to know there's someone there for them. I love taking photos of animals and sharing them with their pet parents! I am semi-retired and focus my time on my family - husband and twin teenage boys, our 2 dogs, 1 cat, many chickens, and houseplants. I have time throughout my day to take care of indoor and outdoor animals. I'm flexible and can care for your animals solely at your home or, for dogs, I can bring them out to walk on our local trails. I have a large minivan with kennels inside so your dog will travel comfortably and safely. I keep my cell phone off when I drive and I travel directly from your home to a walking trail/area. I never mix errands with dog walking and prefer to walk dogs without earbuds/headphones so I am aware of our surroundings at all times.
“Great place for our dogs! They had a blast hanging out with other dogs and kids during their stay. Loved the communication from Amy and that she frequently sent videos and photos of the dogs! Highly recommend”
“Alex was amazing! He’s very caring, easy to communicate with, and always on time. He sent pictures and updates, and it was clear he spent time playing with my dog Shifu, which was awesome. Shifu was clearly happy and comfortable with him. I highly recommend Alex and would definitely book with him again!”
“Grant was wonderful with our dog Lucia, providing several daily activities, walks, and mental stimulation. He was great with communication, very accommodating, and friendly. Grant is very active and attentive and loves to take dogs out on adventures. Lucia was so content when we picked her up. I know she absolutely loved spending time with Grant. I would highly recommend him to any dog owner!”
