Provide daily walks around the neighborhood and walking trails in the area. Dog treats are also provided, unless declined by dog owner.

“Can I give Amadie 10 stars??? We had recently lost one of our kitties and had a 10 day vacation scheduled plus we had moved so needed a pet sitter for our senior, very shy kitty. Amadie was the perfect fit! Our senior kitty warmed up to her and she actually let Amadie pet her a few times. This was a first for anyone besides me or my husband! The patience, love and care she showed to Luna was beyond anything we ever expected. She also was so caring for our home and reached out with questions. Amadie communicated with us daily, pictures and updates. We will definitely ask Amadie to care for Luna again.”
“Kiersten did such a wonderful job of caring for our four cats while we were away! She arrived on time, well prepared for her stay at our home. I was immediately at ease with her, and could see that our cats were too. She sent photo updates each day, which was a comfort to us as we traveled, and the cats looked great and very relaxed with her. Most surprising for us was that our very energetic and sometimes anxious newest cat, who arrived just a few months ago, really loved being with Kiersten, and he very soon got cozy with her! He was just beginning to relax with us but hadn't yet even begun to sit on my lap when I left. Our eldest cat also clearly loved being with her! He's very unique and emotionally complex, and doesn't always relate so easily with people. We are very grateful for her attentive care to our precious cats, and highly recommend her services. We would be happy to work with her again!”
“Nadine did an amazing job with our cat. Lots of playtime and pets when she stopped by for an evening drop-in. She kindly sent videos and pictures too! We hope to use Nadine again in the future!”
“Do your pets a huge favor and let them be cared for by Michelle….what a wonderful pet sitter…. Plenty of attention and body rubs and scrubs !!! Our pets were so blessed to have Michelle as their temporary mama !”
“Kendra was wonderful! Very responsive and took great care of our cats while we were away on fairly short notice. We loved all the pictures she sent each day and she even offered to scoop the litter box even though we had not asked her to do so. Thanks again, Kendra!”
“Emily spent a month with our cat Yoyo (Yosemite Sam) while we were away. They became pals. Emily took good care of Yoyo and sent us a photo of him every day. Emily also babysat our indoor and outdoor plants, especially some special ones that we had just planted before our trip. They in great condition. We definitely recommend Emily as a pet sitter and hope she will be available the next time we go away.”
“Haley once again did an amazing job taking care of our two cats while we were gone for over a week. They were immediately comfortable with her on the first visit. She sends thorough updates and photos every visit showing them playing and interacting with her. I highly recommend her services. She's very reliable and communicative, and is a great fit even for skittish kitties. It was such a relief to know that she was checking in on our cats while we were gone!”
“Margaret & Dawson were great and took care of our pets like they were their own. Very trustworthy, dependable and communicative. They sent us pictures and videos of the pets with each visit. We recommend booking with them and we will book with them again in the future!”

It was obvious that she loves animals and my dog agrees as she was excited and happy on the days that she was in Amanda's care. I highly recommend her!”

About: I used to have my own dog sitting/walking business. Then I had a baby so now I can only board dogs at my home. I love all animals. I am home 24/7 with my 2 kids age 4 and 2. I have had cats growing up. I have lots of experience with all breeds of dogs. We have one cat but can put in a separate room if need be. I don’t have a huge yard but we like to take walks and go to parks/fields to run around in and play catch or frisbee
“Our dogs had a blast at Nicole’s place. They got to run around in her nice fenced in yard, played a lot of fetch and got to cool off in the kiddie pool. Nicole and her family are obviously dog lovers and I was so happy we left our girls with them. I would highly recommend Nicole to care for your pups as if they were her own.”
“What a wonderful family! Luiz & Patricia are incredibly professional and kind (as are their daughters & pup!) and made my girl feel right at home. She came home exhausted after having spent much of the day running around outside and playing with their dog & daughters. I always LOVE to get updates during a stay, and I received so many fun pictures and videos. I could not recommend them more!!!”
“I feel so lucky to have found Sofie and Teryn! They took such great care of my two dogs for the whole day. I was thrilled to get pictures right away and throughout the day while I was gone. I hope to use their services many times to come. Javi and Rocky were happy and very well-cared for at the beautiful home. Thank you!”

“Letícia took such great care of Bomi!! She was incredibly kind and patient with her.

Her dog, Malu is super sweet too! We highly recommend Letícia if you are looking for a sitter 👍”
About: Our family dog just moved out with my daughter, so my grandpuppy 😂. Thankfully he comes to stay regularly for extended visits! Most of my photos are of him, truly spoiled & loved.

I live in a townhouse that is surrounded by woods and has close proximity to walking trails. You can provide a crate if needed for boarding. I will welcome gentle, people-friendly dogs, who are house & potty trained only. No overly dirty or muddy dogs please! Thanks for your understanding.
About: I am a caring, loving, responsible person. I am 26 years old and I've been caring for animals since i was a little girl. I love bringing dogs to local dog parks and on hikes. i have years of experience with reptiles, small animals, fish, dogs and cats. i make sure after each and every visit pets will come home and want to snuggle up with their loving owners. I am capable at calming pets when stressed or energetic. I am always clean, well-organized and i always put pets first. When pets are in my care, they are always treated with love and have the best care. I treat them like family because they are family. If you want a professional loving pet sitter contact me now. I am available throughout the week. I am basically up everyday before 9 am so i can have time to do things around my home and have time for your pets.

About: I have cared for puppies, large dogs, small dogs, kittens and cats of all shapes and sizes, chickens and birds, sheep, goats and various farm animals for over 20 years! I care deeply about their happiness and wellbeing whether they're my animals or ones I see/find out and about. I own my own business running an online farm stand so my animals follow me around the farm or find a sunny place to snooze all day everyday! As I manage my own schedule I can slip away multiple times a day with no issue for your pets walks or potty breaks! **For daycare, my cats stay upstairs inside while dogs are here and the chickens are in a coop/run and when they're free ranging, they are within an electric fence, so theres no concern about accidents with dogs with high prey drive. However if your dog is really anxious and unhappy around smaller animals, please let me know, and we may be able to spend the day out and about or out of sights and sound of the farm animals. All the animals safety and comfort are top priority! I can provide play, snuggles, meds or medical care, brushing, food, water, treats, lots of pets or just some company and baby talk for visits and walks. I am an honest and reliable person and I take the care of animals whether mine or otherwise, pets or wild, incredibly seriously.
About: I’ve cared for dogs most of my life and truly treat them like family. I grew up in a home with four dogs, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I also adopted and lovingly cared for a difficult senior dachshund for years, which gave me valuable experience with patience, senior dog needs, routines, and extra attentiveness. Today I have a large Bernedoodle, so I’m confident handling bigger dogs as well as energetic pups who need exercise and structure. I’m active and love taking dogs on walks, runs, and outdoor time when appropriate, while also making sure they get plenty of affection, snuggles, and supervision. What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love dogs. I understand every dog is different, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work remotely from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day for the pets in my care. Because I’m home most of the time, dogs get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship instead of being left alone for long stretches. My flexible routine also makes it easy for me to stick to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I’m able to provide attentive, consistent care and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving home environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I have a friendly, social dog who enjoys having visitors and does well with other dogs, while always making sure introductions are done thoughtfully and safely. I have a yard for outdoor time, and while it is not fenced, I use a secure runner/tie-out system and close supervision so dogs can safely enjoy fresh air, potty breaks, and time outside. I also keep dogs leashed on walks and anytime they are outdoors for added safety. If your dog is crate-trained or more comfortable with their own space, I’m happy to accommodate crating and follow your normal home routine. I always aim to keep pets on their regular schedule for feeding, exercise, rest, and any medications or special instructions. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.

We do have a backyard which is not fenced in and a porch that I usually block off to let my dogs get outside for some fresh air.
“Lilly was great to work with, as well as reliable and responsive to a small last l-minute adjustment. I loved getting the photos of Trina. I will definitely ask Lilly to care for Trina again!”
About: Ive been taking care of pets since high-school, from great danes to kitties! Including but not limited to great-danes, pitbulls, hounds, labs and kitties! I am good with animals of all temperaments, from timid and not sure to excited to see anything! I love all animals and would love to help with all your pet and house needs. I am currently part time and can work around your schedule as well. I already get up to take care of my hound, pitbull and kitties. I would love to help you out as well! I love animals and have experience with the animals that also make a mess. I change litter boxes and I can even clean up after the ones who can't always hold it. I feed, and give fresh water. I walk dogs and also have experience with pulling. I can also just let them out if trained to do so and hangout with them as needed!

“We are grateful for Amanda and her family and their kind care of our dog! Her first overnight stay was a success. We received detailed updates throughout the weekend of how she was doing which helped us know she was comfortable and having fun. Thank you!”
“Emily took great care of my pug Forrest. She sent many messages and pictures daily showing how he was enjoying his stay with her and her family. He enjoyed himself so much that he was reluctant to leave when I arrived to pick him up him up, literally hiding behind Emily so I wouldn’t pick him up. I will definitely use Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great family home environment for their pet when away. A+, 5-stars.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Amy was warm, kind, and incredibly attentive while caring for my dog. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my baby was in such good hands. Communication was great, and it was clear she genuinely cared. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her services!”

About: Hi! My name is Amanda, and I have 18 years of pet care experience. I have had pleasure of owning three dogs over the course of my adult life. I currently have a senior dog named Benson and this Summer my family and I adopted a pup named Nash. I use to foster dogs and cats throughout college and several friends and family have relied on me to care for their four-legged family member(s) over the years. I have experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors and I am certified in Pet First Aid/CPR through the American Red Cross. Im currently working from home and have a flexible schedule, so I have a great amount of time to spend with your dog(s) in my home and take them out throughout the day. My husband Martin will also join me on walks/trails at times when he is home in the evening and weekends. I offer in-home boarding. Provide daily walks around the neighborhood and walking trails in the area. Dog treats are also provided, unless declined by dog owner. All dogs boarding must be crate trained for nightly sleep for their safety and the safety of other dogs.
“Christian is great! He is patient, chill, and very good with dogs! I loved that our dog wanted to go back inside with him when we had to leave; that is a great sign!”
“Tracy was amazing with our cat Pretty Girl! We were nervous as this was our first time boarding her but Tracy was very kind and helpful. She was in good hands for sure! We got updates throughout the stay and lots of pictures as well!! When we picked Pretty Girl up she was happy and healthy and well taken care of. Would definitely book with Tracy again!”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always take the time to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply providing companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and care I would give my own. I’m dependable, responsible, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I’m home throughout the day and able to give the dogs plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision\. Since I’m home, your dog won’t be left alone for long periods of time\. I have plenty of time for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and of course lots of attention and affection\. I enjoy having dogs around and love making them feel like part of the family while they’re in my care\. I can also follow your dog’s normal schedule and routine to help them feel as comfortable and at home as possible\. My home has a large open backyard with 2.12 acres, giving dogs plenty of space to run, play, explore, exercise, and enjoy the outdoors safely.
“I feel so comfortable leaving the dogs with Stephanie. I feel so lucky to have found her and her family. When I pick up the dogs they seem calm and happy. I hope to rebook with Stephanie next time I travel!”
