Personalized care for your dog or cat - Woodlawn
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Woodlawn
“Very nice family! I was at ease as soon as I arrived. My dogs felt like they were at home. I was sent pictures daily with updates. My dogs were very well taken care of. Thomas and his wife were awesome and very welcoming. Will definitely use them again for my fur babies.”
“Awesome sitter with a wonderful outdoor space for extra exercise! Felt comfortable leaving our two dogs with Lauren while we were out of the country with limited phone and WiFi. Will definitely reach out to Lauren again to pet sit.”
“Alex was wonderful. Marvel seems so happy with him! He was a great communicator and offered me a lot of flexibility when my travel plans changed a little. Highly recommend and will be using him again next time I’m in town!”
“Even when it's been months since my little guy has seen Anna, she makes him feel immediately comfortable and loved. That makes me feel better about leaving him. She's super responsive and sends photos/videos while I'm gone. I appreciate having found someone I feel safe leaving my buddy with!”
“Evie and Fritz are truly the best dog sitters I have ever used! Our dog Harper is usually very uncomfortable around new people and does not tend to do well when we go on trips. I could tell very early on that she looked happy and relaxed with them after being there for only about a day. They made a clear effort to get to know Harper and make her as comfortable as possible and sent me so many photos and video to keep me updated on how she was doing. Highly highly highly recommend Evie and Fritz, we will definitely be a repeat customer!!!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Scott, Ellen and all their kiddos! They took amazing care of Juniper, sent daily updates and pictures, and truly treated her like their own. The kids became Juniper’s best friends and were so kind and loving. We’re incredibly grateful for the care they gave her! We will definitely ask them to watch her again!”
“My dog Bella stayed for around 8 days and I couldn’t have trusted someone else more. Kenan was always ready to send me pictures and videos to not make me worry. It was our first time with them and we will definitely be reaching out again whenever we need. Bella got to play with other dogs and make many friends. I definitely recommend them!”
“Very satisfactory stay! Ross and Sarah cared for my big dog who had lots of separation anxiety, working with her and accommodating her fears. They were kind and understanding - and sent lots of photos to reassure me! I'll definitely use them again!”
“Katrin was AMAZING! My husband and I are so anxious leaving our dogs and katrin put our minds at ease immediately. From the moment we arrived, the dogs were clearly comfortable and in great hands. She shared regular updates and pictures, administered our senior dog’s medication, and went the extra mile in every possible way to make sure our pups felt right at home. We’re so grateful for her animal loving heart!”
“Alice was fantastic over the holidays! Butters and Freckles were happy, well cared for, and we loved the frequent updates. She also fed our cats daily and left the house clean. We felt completely at ease while we were away and would definitely book her again.”
“Our pups spent another weekend with Amy and Alex -- I kind of felt bad picking them up because I know they are so happy there! Trust both of them fully with our boys :-)”
“Vanessa and her family were great with my dog Oakley. She loved her stay there and for a dog that can be apprehensive in new environments she fit right in from the start. The pictures and updates were great. Oakley loved the backyard and playing with her friends there. Would highly recommend Vanessa. My pup was very well cared for throughout her stay.”
“Cathy is the absolute best Rover we have ever used! She sent us frequent updates with pictures, went above and beyond to provide the best care, was extremely flexible with drop-off/pick-up & treated Olivia like she was her own! Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Very excellent communication, put us at ease with allowing a meet up before bookkng. She is obviously a pro, allowing our girls to get comfortable in a new space before bringing in her dogs. She gave us daily updates with pictures while we were away. I know they enjoyed their vacation with Erin and her family!”
“I was very pleased with my experience with Sarah booking a overnight stay for my Beagle, Boo. Sarah's husband played an important role as co-sitter, giving my dog another person to add to her favorite people list. My dog and I met with Sarah about a week or two prior to the stay, to go over any of Boo's specific characteristics. Sarah's household was very pleasant, and the backyard was nicely fenced in for a large playing area. Communicating while planning and during the stay was excellent. We are booking a much longer stay in the near future. My family doesn't go away from home very often, but knowing that I have a trusted sitter available helps a whole lot. Thanks Sarah !”
“She was great with our dog, Reggie! I am so grateful to have her accept him for boarding on such a short notice. She messaged us frequently with pictures, videos and updates throughout the day! Definitely recommend her!”
“Emily and William took great care of my dog Archie for the first time. I could sense the instant love and care they had for my dog as soon as they met him and that meant a lot to me knowing he’d be in good hands while I was away. They were very communicative and kind. I will definitely be using their services again!”
“Tara takes great care of Brandy and sends pictures and/or videos that keeps us in touch with our pup. Brandy always looks so comfortable with Tara and Kevin, and their two dogs get along well with Brandy. We use Tara regularly and travel without worries!”

“We love Rebecca!!! 3rd time booking with Rebecca, but first time with our new kitten! Rebecca was wonderful as usual. She is very calm and our cats who are usually very shy are excited and playful when Rebecca comes over. She is awesome!”
“Kathryn did a wonderful job of taking care of Missy. She hung out with her and took care of her and made sure that she was happy. I would definitely recommend booking her and will work with her again in the future.”
About: I am a professor at a local university with a flexible schedule who loves hanging out with all sorts of pets. I am professional, punctual, and playful. My wife, Diana, works from home so between the two of us there’s pretty much always someone home hanging out with our doggie guests. We live on 4 acres, about half of which is fenced in for the doggos to run and play safely. We only crate if they are comfortable with that, and if no one is home. My teaching schedule allows me to be home a lot during the week and I am open most weekends. I am also pretty flexible to do drop ins and walks, as well as pickup/dropoff. My wife, Diana, works from home and helps with the pet care. Pretty much someone is always home so the pet guests normally hang out with us most of the day. I know every pet has their own personality so I like to get to know each pet individually and speak with their owners to come up with a care plan. We aim to create the same level of comfort here that your pet has at home. Our guests are part of the family while they are here.
“Brittany took exceptionally good care of our cat while we were out of the country with very little access to our phones to check in. We felt completely confident in her abilities on our vacation.”
“Susan always does such a great job with my 3 cats! Everything is clean and the cats are happy when I get home. I appreciate not having to worry at all about them while I'm gone 😊”
“This was the first time I asked Gretchen to care of my senior cats. They seemed very well cared for and the instructions I left were carefully followed. Everything was neat and clean and I would not only ask Gretchen to come again, I would recommend her to anyone wanting a caring pet sitter. Thank you Gretchen.”
“Shelby has watched our cats twice now and she always does a fantastic job! She’s communicative and kind, and is always sure to send us plenty of update pictures and notes.”
“Elena did an incredible job caring for our babies while we were out of town for a week. She spent lots of time loving and playing with our girl, Salem. She even tried her best to win over our semi-feral boy, Crush. We will definitely book her anytime that we need a pet/house sitter.”
“Gemma was timely with her visits and always gave me a nice write up along with a few photos each day. If she would be arriving late, she let me know the previous day so we could work out a plan. She took great care of my cat while I was away:)”
About: I love playing with and caring for animals. I know it’s hard to be there for your pet at all times, so I would love to help you with your needs. I love to play, walk, bathe, swim, and do pretty much whatever it is your animal needs. I am comfortable with all ages, sizes and breeds. If needed, I can administer medicines. I am available days , weeknights and weekends at all times. I have had my own dogs and other pets since I was 7 years old, so I am hoping that I can care for your pets the way that I have always cared for my own. Pet care is part of my everyday routine. I’m used to morning and evening walks, feeding on a schedule, meds when needed, and plenty of playtime and snuggles built into my day. I plan my errands and social stuff around animals being let out, fed, and comfortable, so adding your pets into that rhythm feels really natural for me. When I’m in a pet’s home, I stick to their normal routine as closely as possible – same feeding schedule, walk times, and sleeping spots. I do regular check-ins for food, water, potty breaks, and meds if needed, and I always build in playtime and cuddles so they’re not just ‘being watched,’ they’re actually getting attention. I keep the home tidy, follow any house rules you leave, and send photo updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away.
“We had a great experience with Daysi dropping in on our 10month old cat while we were away for a long weekend. Daysi consistently sent photos during her visits. :)”
About: Hello! To start off, my name is Amy. I was born and raised here in NC and know the area quite well! I’ve taken animal care courses at ACC and have experience with many types of animals. Dogs, Cats, Horses, Reptiles etc.. I started my pet sitting journey in 2018 . I have had many great experience with animals of all kinds and looking forward to the future pets I get to meet! ***Please Read before Messaging!*** I have a full time work schedule working from 3pm - 11pm Tuesday-Friday and 11am - 7pm every other weekend. Before leaving your home, I will make sure you pet is fed, uses the bathroom, and have a comfortable spot to lay on. Since I can only do in home sitting or check ups I make sure that your fur baby has everything he or she could possibly need. Food, Water, pee pads (if that is an option) outside time, hourly potty breaks, and plenty of cuddle time. I can also crate the animal if need be and help with keeping up with any training while you are gone.
“Paulina was great! She was very communicative and sent photos every day. She went above and beyond to get alternative transportation during bad weather to make sure my cat didn’t miss a meal. I felt at ease knowing someone reliable was taking care of my cat, and my cat clearly enjoyed her visits!”
“Heidi was very professional and friendly. The cats took to her right away and got a lot of love and attention. All directions were followed and pictures were given with updates. Would book again!”
“Above all, Alex is dependable. He always shows up when you expect him. Alex is mature, responsible and personable. It was a pleasure getting to know him. I can tell that he's a real animal lover. And that's exactly the type of person I want to take care of my kittens. I highly recommend Alex!”
“Excellent service Fantastic with the cats lots of attention! They usually hide from strangers but they come out when Meredith check in . They truly like her. Thank you sooo much Meredith for taking good care of my cats. I feel relaxed and confident they are in good hands!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Woodlawn
“This was our first booking with Tara for our senior dog. The initial meet-and-greet session went very well, and Tara's sweet little dogs were friendly with ours. Tara's large, fenced yard was a wonderful oasis. Tara's experience is obvious, and she sent us several text updates with pictures that put our minds at ease while we were traveling.”
About: Hello! My name is Aubrey And Family My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets (Cooper) and caring for family, and friends over the years. Pets are great companions and I look forward to meeting many new buddies! I am home most of the time, ensuring your dogs receive constant love, care, and attention. We provide everything they need to feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I provide a safe, cozy environment for your dogs, giving you peace of mind knowing they are cared for, comfortable, and happy while boarding with us.
“Sarah and Josiah always take great care of our pup! He was so happy to hang out with them today and is absolutely exhausted now that he’s home - which means he had way too much fun!”
About: What makes me special? Everything!!! A dog has always been a family member since I can remember. Thank God for loving parents who believed in bringing all kinds of pets in our home. We had birds, hamsters, and even the occasional snake or frog from the yard! There is a certain bond you get from a dog that you cannot get from any other animal, though...and I am lucky enough to have experienced that. My parents are proud owners of a rescue cat, and my sister's family has 3 kitties in their happy home!! They also have a sweet little gerbil that has somehow survived all of those felines! You can definitely tell we are a family of animal lovers!!! Since February 2017, my family "farm" has grown. I raised 21 babychicks from a day old...8 of which were ours, the rest for 2 other families...then we added 3 more, barely mature, hens and a rooster to our flock. It has definitely been a fun and wonderful learning experience! I have a wonderful rescued Pit, Buddy! We raised those chicks with Buddy around...so he is great with them! It's pretty amazing!!! (Oh...and just to clarify...Buddy will stay home during any visits/stays with your pet(s). That way you'll know your baby/babies are receiving the full attention they deserve!) Buddy is probably the most spoiled dog in the world because I make practically everything for him, from his shampoos (using essential oils) to his treats. He does get the dental treats at least once a day, but other than that...he's a gourmet doggie! I am a stay-at-home pup Mom...so on the 24 hour overnight visits with me, I'll only need to leave a couple of times during the day to take Buddy out to play, etc....he'll be with his Dad all night. Otherwise, I'm all yours, so if you need someone there to take your baby out literally every 2 hours or less, I can do it!! :-) I do Daycare a little different than Rover does...I only offer daycare in your home. I feel this is the best way to keep your pets in a place they feel super comfortable & with a sitter who will keep them happy, healthy and on their schedule completely. I will always keep you up to date on how your pet or pets are doing and will send you plenty of pictures if you wish! Extras services available: Baths with or w/o essential oils, Homemade bath soap with essential oils to-go (made with any requested oils from list), Doggie bag of treats to-go (made to your pet's dietary needs.) I have numerous flours available to meet any digestive issues. - No preservatives & human-grade (though some flavors may not suit human's taste buds!) By the way...I am no salesperson... & will never try to sell you any extras...these are just other things I offer if you are interested. Just feel free to ask if you are interested. :-)
About: DISCLAIMER * As of 10/26/2024 * If i cannot meet you and your pets before the start of the booking, i will not accept the booking. This has become a safety issue for me. I will no longer be able to accept verbal verification that your pet will be fine with a stranger entering the home. (Exceptions are small puppies) I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10. My neighbor growing up had 4 cats, that I loved dearly! She was the first person who allowed me to watch her fur babies when she went on vacation! I've pet sat many times since then. Dogs big and small of all breeds from a little pug to a 100lb+ Rottweiler. I own a 85lb pit bull mix and a 10lb weenier dog. 🐶 They are my babies.💗 I can drop in anytime to check on your fur babies. Spend extra time with them. I do bathing, and walks also! If you need your fur babies to be crated, no problem! I will make sure their safety comes first. You can put your mind at ease knowing your pets will be taken care of! This is my full time job, I enjoy every second of it! So day or night I can always do a drop in visit or a walk! Your pets safety comes first! So during a meet and greet I will be going over a small list of questions to make sure I can take care of your fur baby to the best of my ability. With this I create a “pet profile” so when you need to rebook with me I’ve already got a reference to look back at. EXAMPLE; if your dog is good with other animals, or if there is a certain amount of food that needs to be given. These are just notes I make for myself, and so you can rest assured your fur baby is getting the best care!
“Erin is very responsive, flexible about timing for drop-off and pick-up and I can tell she loves doggies! She stayed in contact with me throughout Milly's stay to let me know how she was doing! Large fenced in back yard for the pups to run and play! When I picked Milly up, I could tell she had a great time (even slept the three hours home)! I will definitely be using Erin in the future when we travel to Elon to visit my daughter and would recommend her to others staying in the area! Thank again Erin!!”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with over 10 years of experience working in the veterinary field, so your dog’s health, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m confident caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including those who may need extra patience, structure, or special attention. My fiancé has 15+ years of professional dog training experience, which means your pup benefits from consistent handling, basic training reinforcement, and a calm, structured environment while in our care. We work as a team to make sure every dog feels secure, understood, and well cared for. We’re an outdoors-loving household with dogs of our own, so we truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. Our property includes plenty of safely fenced-in space for supervised play, exercise, and enrichment—perfect for dogs who love to run, explore, and burn off energy. Whether your dog enjoys active playtime, peaceful walks, or just relaxing with people who genuinely love dogs, we’re happy to tailor care to their individual needs. You can feel confident knowing your pup will be treated like one of our own while you’re away. I work full-time Mon-Fri from 8am–4pm, and my fiancé is home during the day, only leaving occasionally for training sessions. Dogs are let outside multiple times throughout the day for potty breaks, play, and exercise. We’re happy to feed, administer medications, and follow special care routines as needed to match your dog’s normal schedule. All pet sitting is done in our home only, allowing us to closely monitor every dog in our care. Our backyard is fully enclosed with a 6-foot privacy fence, providing a secure space for supervised play and exercise. The front yard is enclosed with a 4-foot fence and is typically used when my daughter is outside or for small dogs who prefer calmer, smaller play groups. Our home sits on approximately 1.5 acres, giving dogs plenty of room to stretch their legs while remaining in a controlled, safe environment. Dogs are always supervised outdoors, and we carefully separate playtime when needed to ensure every pup feels comfortable and secure.
About: I have never gone a year of my life without owning at least 2 dogs. I have always trained them well with leash training, potty, and crate training. I now am training a service dog (with the help of some classes) and am learning so much more about a dog’s health, needs, and how to learn from them as much as they learn from us. I know that when I go out of town I want the best care for my dogs and I want to provide a good place for other dogs to stay as well. I am a full time online student at the moment so I am available all day everyday, with the exception of future appointments or meetings that will not take more than a few hours out of a day at a time. I am typically home watching over my own dogs at all hours of the day; I do work part time on the weekends though and am usually gone for 5-8 hours at a time onFridays-Sundays (depending on the week). I live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood which provides a standard sized tennis court, which we have basically turned into a play park for dogs! We all have contributed toys to leave at the tennis court and I LOVE brining my dog (and the doggie I am watching over) to the court to run freely for a while and play without worrying about other dogs or being on a leash. Because I have a larger dog (110 lbs; he is a gentle giant), I have a large crate and large bed as well! This will be great for any sized dog whether they are crate-trained or not :)
About: Hello furry friends, I have owned a couple of furry pets of my own and gained experience from walking, feeding, and caring for them as I have worked my way through college and my job. I love dogs, cats and any other animals as well. Being surrounded by furry friends genuinely makes me happier and I would love to provide my services to help other furry parents out. Please don't hesitate to reach out! I currently don't have any obligations as I am a free to walk any furry friend throughout any times of the day. Please reach out! As of now, I cannot make any accommodations for pet in-home boarding. I currently live in an apartment that doesn't allow pets but I am willing do client in-home pet sitting and pet walks.
“Alaina and Nick were wonderful! My pup stayed one day during the day while I visited a friend nearby. He had a great time and was very well cared for. Communication was great before, during, and after his stay. 10/10 would trust Alaina and Nick to watch him again.”
About: Need somebody to take care of your pets? Need to go out of town for work or vacation? Look no further I'm the person for the job! I walk my son Munny daily about 3 or 4 times a day, and let him run around in the backyard. So pet care is apart of my everyday life. when we have other dogs come over i try to make them feel at home and follow any instructions the pet parents may give me
About: We were raising dogs before we had children. Siberian Huskies, Akitas, rescue dogs, and Icelandic Sheepdogs. There have been dogs in our home for over 50 years. Our pets are a part of the family and greet us each day with a licky kiss on the chin. Our grandchildren love to play with Spensa when they visit. Pet care is intentional and a part of our daily routine. With the morning coffee comes the morning run around the back yard. With my breakfast is the dogs breakfast. If we go for a walk, so does the dog! We all just do life together as we can! We have a fenced yard allowing plenty of room to run and play. Our dog is very friendly and is very comfortable being around other dogs. She is current on all vacinations. Should you required you dog to be crated for any reason, we would be more than willing to comply to your requests.
“Our experience with Kenan was just what we needed. We have a highly anxious rescue boy with severe separation anxiety, yet we knew from the moment we met Kenan that our dog was in good hands. Kenan greeted Hank (our dog) by sitting on the ground and allowing Hank to see that he was safe. Kenan also took Hank and his new friend, Paco (another dog) on a long walk on their beautiful farm, and knew when it was time to provide some down time. Hank came home happy and exhausted, and he will undoubtedly be returning to the farm!”
About: I have had dogs (and cats) since I was 12 years old and I've taken care of many of my neighbors, friends and families pets and they all love me. I'm used to large and small dogs and am happy to chill/play with them or go for a walk. I currently volunteer and foster for a local animal shelter. If you have other animals besides cats and dogs I am happy to take care of them too. Being an artist and an avid gardener I spend my time painting or caring for mine and my daughters ( who lives next door ) gardens so your pets can be with me all day. I have a large fenced in garden with plenty of room for your dog to run and play with my dog and any in my care at the time. You will provide their food and I will strictly adhere to your specified feeding schedule. If I'm taking care of your pets at your home I will follow any rules or guidelines you have in place as I would in my home. Dog walking can be done in your neighborhood or I have a car and can transport to a dog park if you wish.
“A great first experience using Rover! Our Finley had the best time, playing and being loved on. What a warm and inviting family, sent lots of pictures and videos. They even gave our pup a bath after they got into some mud. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thank you!! ❤️”

“Reliable and conscientious! Wen went above and beyond when she offered to cover a week's worth of walking for me when I was having trouble finding a walker. She didn't even live close by and offered anyway. Do not hesitate to book Wen.”
“Daysi was fantastic! Every day and for every walk I received a nice summary of their time together and plenty of pictures. I trusted her walking nala and knew she was in great hands the entire time and nala loved being with her! I will definitely use daysi again in the future and look forward to having her watch my fur baby!”
About: Hello! I have owned and cared for dogs for over 10 years. I specialize in small dog breeds of all ages. I have two small dogs of my own, and one has that classic small dog sass! My goal is for your pet to forgot that mom/dad is not around, and have fun/release their energy while maintaining their normal schedule. I have cared for multiple dogs ranging in weight from 5-40lbs for personal clients. I always treat every pet that I work with like they are my own children, because let’s face it, they are! I recently left my corporate position and I am excited to do something I am truly passionate about - working with dogs! I am available 7 days per week, morning - evening I am very responsive, dependable, timely, and treat each dog like they are my own. I am respectful and will follow any specific instructions in your home!
About: I’ve been a proud dog mom for over 25 years and currently have two spunky Chihuahuas who keep me laughing every day. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities—from tiny lap dogs to big bundles of energy. I know how important it is to feel at ease while your pup is with someone else, so I treat every dog like family. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, playtime, or just cuddling on the couch, I make sure your furry friend feels loved, safe, and cared for. I also have experience with senior dogs and pups that need a little extra patience or medication, so you can trust they’ll be in good hands. At the end of the day, I believe dogs are the best friends in the world, and I can’t wait to meet yours! 🐶❤️ I'm currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I also live close by to Tanger outlets and the Burlington area. I have a yard for my dogs to run, play with toys and fetch. Also I enjoy walking trails at the local parks or arboretum.
About: I have many years of experience with working with animals - whether its with my own or in a professional setting. I am not limited to the animals I can care for. I have worked for a boarding/doggie day care for 2+ years that required me to take care of all different sizes and breeds of dogs. I also have 3 fur babies myself - Penelope, Bear, and Chewbacca ( AKA Chewy) So, I can assure you the best care for your fur baby! My availability would be in the morning before 7:00am and the evening time after 5:00 pm I currently have a full-time job but do plan on doing Rover/Pet Sitting full-time in the near future! So stay tuned!! To ensure the safety of your fur baby- If they are at my home I have a designated area in my home with a dog gate that can separate your fur baby from mine if needed. Also, ask for all Vet info - just to have on file.
About: Current dog mom of 2 and love to care for all animals! I’ve always grown up with a dog in the home and I began my petsitting journey at age 13 when I began petsitting for my neighbors. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, and fish. I’ve cared for dogs with extra needs (blind, anxiety, behavioral issues, etc.) and am comfortable administering medicine. I’ve watched up to 6 dogs in one household and am comfortable if more are involved! I volunteered at my local animal shelter throughout college working to socialize cats and dogs to help find their forever home! I have a large fenced in yard and live close to walking trails. My dogs are very friendly and love to be social with other, well-behaved dogs! I currently work from home 3 days a week and can offer drop-in visits before 8am or after 5pm. I’m flexible to do one time drop ins or regular scheduled drop ins! In my home, I make sure to keep your pup in a normal routine while you are away. I’m respectful and want you to come home to pup(s) just how you left them!

You will provide their food and I will strictly adhere to your specified feeding schedule. If I'm taking care of your pets at your home I will follow any rules or guidelines you have in place as I would in my home. Dog walking can be done in your neighborhood or I have a car and can transport to a dog park if you wish.
“Tristina was able to come walk my dog with very short notice. She was kind, loving, and my dog SERIOUSLY loved her. He loves everyone, but he had an instant connection with her. She was comfortable with walking him, even tho he was really excited. She listened carefully to my instructions and made sure to follow the training we are doing with him since he's still a puppy and we're still training him. She took him on a 1.2 mile walk. She showed up on time and returned him on time. I will be hiring her again for sure! Thanks!”
About: I’ve taken care of each pet of every kind since I was about 14. My neighbors, friends, family, etc have relied on me to watch their sweet babies! I am currently a full time college student at East Carolina University studying elementary education. I am available for all pet sitting needs and would love to watch your pet! I have a fenced in yard and a sweet dog of my own who is very well trained and well behaved. If you have any questions please ask!
“So grateful for Gemma! Our dog is anxious and is cautious when getting to know new people, but she really took to Gemma. Gemma was very patient and easy going and took great care of our pup. We look forward to future visits/walks from Gemma!”
About: I grew up with a German Shepherd and have been caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments for over 10 years. Friends and family have always trusted me as their go-to person when they travel or need help with their pets. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding routines, medication schedules, or just quality couch time, I treat every dog like my own. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I’m currently working from home and make my own hours, so I’ve got plenty of flexible time to care for your pets! I’m available weekdays and most weekends morning, afternoon or night. When I visit your home, I follow your pet’s existing routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walk routes, and any special instructions. I always send photo and text updates so you know your dog is happy and comfortable. I’m careful about securing doors and gates, and I’m happy to discuss any specific needs like medication or dietary restrictions before the first visit. I also do require that I come meet you and your pet before accepting you as a client. I want to ensure both you and your pet are comfortable with me and vice versa.

“Awesome sitter with a wonderful outdoor space for extra exercise! Felt comfortable leaving our two dogs with Lauren while we were out of the country with limited phone and WiFi. Will definitely reach out to Lauren again to pet sit.”
“Alex was wonderful. Marvel seems so happy with him! He was a great communicator and offered me a lot of flexibility when my travel plans changed a little. Highly recommend and will be using him again next time I’m in town!”
“Evie and Fritz are truly the best dog sitters I have ever used! Our dog Harper is usually very uncomfortable around new people and does not tend to do well when we go on trips. I could tell very early on that she looked happy and relaxed with them after being there for only about a day. They made a clear effort to get to know Harper and make her as comfortable as possible and sent me so many photos and video to keep me updated on how she was doing. Highly highly highly recommend Evie and Fritz, we will definitely be a repeat customer!!!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Scott, Ellen and all their kiddos! They took amazing care of Juniper, sent daily updates and pictures, and truly treated her like their own. The kids became Juniper’s best friends and were so kind and loving. We’re incredibly grateful for the care they gave her! We will definitely ask them to watch her again!”
“My dog Bella stayed for around 8 days and I couldn’t have trusted someone else more. Kenan was always ready to send me pictures and videos to not make me worry. It was our first time with them and we will definitely be reaching out again whenever we need. Bella got to play with other dogs and make many friends. I definitely recommend them!”

“Katrin was AMAZING! My husband and I are so anxious leaving our dogs and katrin put our minds at ease immediately. From the moment we arrived, the dogs were clearly comfortable and in great hands. She shared regular updates and pictures, administered our senior dog’s medication, and went the extra mile in every possible way to make sure our pups felt right at home. We’re so grateful for her animal loving heart!”
“Our pups spent another weekend with Amy and Alex -- I kind of felt bad picking them up because I know they are so happy there! Trust both of them fully with our boys :-)”
“Vanessa and her family were great with my dog Oakley. She loved her stay there and for a dog that can be apprehensive in new environments she fit right in from the start. The pictures and updates were great. Oakley loved the backyard and playing with her friends there. Would highly recommend Vanessa. My pup was very well cared for throughout her stay.”

“Emily and William took great care of my dog Archie for the first time. I could sense the instant love and care they had for my dog as soon as they met him and that meant a lot to me knowing he’d be in good hands while I was away. They were very communicative and kind. I will definitely be using their services again!”
“Tara takes great care of Brandy and sends pictures and/or videos that keeps us in touch with our pup. Brandy always looks so comfortable with Tara and Kevin, and their two dogs get along well with Brandy. We use Tara regularly and travel without worries!”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with over 10 years of experience working in the veterinary field, so your dog’s health, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m confident caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including those who may need extra patience, structure, or special attention. My fiancé has 15+ years of professional dog training experience, which means your pup benefits from consistent handling, basic training reinforcement, and a calm, structured environment while in our care. We work as a team to make sure every dog feels secure, understood, and well cared for. We’re an outdoors-loving household with dogs of our own, so we truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. Our property includes plenty of safely fenced-in space for supervised play, exercise, and enrichment—perfect for dogs who love to run, explore, and burn off energy. Whether your dog enjoys active playtime, peaceful walks, or just relaxing with people who genuinely love dogs, we’re happy to tailor care to their individual needs. You can feel confident knowing your pup will be treated like one of our own while you’re away. I work full-time Mon-Fri from 8am–4pm, and my fiancé is home during the day, only leaving occasionally for training sessions. Dogs are let outside multiple times throughout the day for potty breaks, play, and exercise. We’re happy to feed, administer medications, and follow special care routines as needed to match your dog’s normal schedule. All pet sitting is done in our home only, allowing us to closely monitor every dog in our care. Our backyard is fully enclosed with a 6-foot privacy fence, providing a secure space for supervised play and exercise. The front yard is enclosed with a 4-foot fence and is typically used when my daughter is outside or for small dogs who prefer calmer, smaller play groups. Our home sits on approximately 1.5 acres, giving dogs plenty of room to stretch their legs while remaining in a controlled, safe environment. Dogs are always supervised outdoors, and we carefully separate playtime when needed to ensure every pup feels comfortable and secure.
“Agus was great. He took care of our high energy lab for 7 days while we were traveling. He sent regular updates and assured us all was well. We'd definitely book with Agus again and recommend him to our friends.”
“Amanda was a dream. She helped me out when I had my days mixed up and was lovely with my pup. She was so gre At my pup didn’t want to leave. Would definitely recommend and rebook.”
“I wish I could give Heather and John more than 5 stars! They took wonderful care of both my timid older dog and crazy puppy boarding for over a week, and sent lots of pictures and updates to calm my nerves about leaving the little guy for the first time. The dogs appeared at home and comfortable from the first day. Heather and John were also flexible about extending for a couple of extra days when weather changed our travel plans, saving the end of our trip. Highly recommend!”
