“Erin was available on very short notice for a holiday weekend for both of our pups. We have to very sweet, happy boys, but they are both big…one being a giant Newfoundland who is full of 1 y/o energy 😉 She was so accommodating and sent us updates and photos so we knew the boys were doing just fine. She was quick to respond and the boys were happy as could be. We would definitely come to Erin for future needs again!”
“It was our first time leaving our pup since we’ve had her. We need a last minute sitter and Oren took her in and did so good with her. We were given so many updates and pictures any time we asked. She even was taken to a dog park to run and play. We will definitely be booking him for our next vacation.”
“Abby and her family were really loving with my Razzle. Great communication and pictures. Razzle had fun playing with her two fur babies and running around in their big backyard. Thank you so much we will definitely use you again.”
“Bazinga looked so happy staying at Rachel’s for the weekend. From the pictures she shared and the regular updates I could tell he was well taken care of. The only problem I had is that he didn’t look like he wanted to come home after a fun weekend playing with his new friends. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend Rachel. We don’t travel a lot but I’m sure we’ll be back when we do.”
“Melissa did an amazing job with my two boys! I could tell how much they loved spending time with her and her sister. The boys came home happy and well rested. She was very communicative and kind throughout the entire process and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for boarding services! I am looking forward to re-booking in the future. Thank you again!!!”
“Definitely recommend Madison to watch my pup. She has few other dogs and I was not sure how she would react with other dogs as she likes to play but can sometimes be a handful. Madison was nice enough to meet Nala before I even booked and let her meet her dogs so we could see how they would react. She put my mind at ease by sending videos and pictures during Nalas stay showing me how Nala was getting along with her pups and just having a grand ole time. She has plenty of field for dogs to run around and enjoy/ tire themselves out. Will definitely be trusting her with my pup again and can not recommend her enough.”
“Fantastic service! Very accommodating to my travel schedule with pick-up & drop-off. Great communication in very timely way including daily updates. Very knowledgeable of dogs, and how she introduced my dog to her two. Even allowed me to meet her pups. I’m in process of booking again, and very grateful for Lisa and her thorough care of Winston!”
“We had a great experience— super communicative and flexible, with lots of photos and check-in’s so that I knew that everything was going ok. I appreciate the effort that went into helping my Eddie feel comfortable and confident in the new space!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up in a home filled with pets of all kinds. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including those with special medical needs or health conditions. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or requires extra patience and attention, I’ll provide compassionate, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands. I currently own a business and have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time to care for my furry friends! I live with my husband and two boys ages 10 & 15; who are also very helpful with any pet needs especially play time and walks. I prioritize every pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being by providing a clean, secure, and loving environment. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, a pet-free home with no other animals, and I always maintain close supervision, follow routines, and give each pet the individual attention they deserve.
About: We have our own pets and we would love to help you while you are gone and know that they are safe while gone. We would love on your pet. We would give your pet the attention while you are gone. We would love to play with the pets and knowing that they are safe. I have a fenced in backyard. We have plenty of room to be able to care for your pet. We have plenty of toys to play with.
“Breanna & Clay took the most amazing care of our "special needs" pup, Yogi, for a 10 day visit, they were absolutely amazing in calming our fears of leaving him for such a long time. Yogi thrived while staying with them, and they provided the most adorable pictures and videos throughout the stay! After many pet sitters being used throughout the years, we were finally able to relax on a vacation without worry! 10/10 will be using them again, we actually just booked them for our next trip! If you want a worry free vacation knowing your pup is in good hands, book with these two!!”
“Novalee/Brooke G. is a fantastic pet sitter! Our dog stayed with her for a week while I was out of town and he had the BEST TIME at her house! He spent his days romping with her adorable pups, playing inside and outside and sniffing all the smells on their neighborhood walks. Novalee also took him on excursions to various pet-friendly stores and family get togethers - which meant he rarely spent anytime alone. Her level of care is unmatched and we know that anytime our dog is with her, he is loved just like her own. I cannot recommend Novalee more highly!”
“Im so glad i found maddie! She was so accomodating and enthusiastic about watching our dog for a couple days. She had no trouble handling my dog, even though he struggles with anxiety and food aggression. She gave candor all the attention he needed, and he came home a very happy dog.”
“We have 2 Yorkies, Cody and Emma, who are like our babies. We just don't let anyone watch them unless we feel 100% sure about their stay. Cindy is a total dog lover and is a very welcoming person. She watched Cody and Emma over Memorial Day weekend and sent us pictures everyday. Her home is warm and inviting and I love the fact that her backyard is safe and secure even for our Emma who is only 6 pounds. They had every comfort of home with Cindy. I will definitely request Cindy for future boarding and would highly recommend her services if you need a loving home for your pet.”
“Lisa is so incredibly sweet and upbeat and knowledgeable about animals! She was always communicative and was willing to be flexible when my travel was impacted out of my control. My dog Scoobie adores her and loves her house and it’s amazing she has a backyard and plenty of room to play ball with my little one inside! Will be booking again.”

“Great drop-in visit! Our pup was well cared for, and it was such a relief knowing she was in good hands while we were away. We loved receiving the updates and photos. Thank you for taking such great care of her—we’d definitely book again!”
“Kami did a great job taking care of my older tuxedo cat Jordan! She was very kind and provided updates and photos for every visit. The drop-in visits were only thirty minutes but I could tell the attention to detail and care that went in to her visit. Kami, followed feeding instructions to the "T" and did well to maintain a clean litter pan area, especially due to my cat's tendency to have accidents outside of his designated bathroom area. Kami even took out the trash, so when I arrived home there was no unwelcoming smells. My experience with Kami was fantastic, and I'm sure Jordan appreciated her efforts as well. He even waited at the door for her arrival the next day! If you are going out of town, and need someone to take care of you pet. I highly recommend Kami's services. Happy Holidays!”
About: I take my cats care very seriously and often have sitters and cameras to watch them while I am gone and want to help other people! I have a young spunky kitten that just turned 1 & a 16 year old grumpy cat so I have experience with all ages!
About: My family dog found my first cat while we were out on a walk. He was a little guy that still needed bottle-fed and I fell in love with cats from that point on. He was my heart cat and was with me through many ups and downs in my life and the birth of my son. The cats that have come into my life have all been strays, with two being born in our bathroom six years ago! I currently have 3 cats and one has had medications for urinary issues so I can administer meds. I also understand the importance of making sure litter boxes are clean so cats want to use that space instead of any other.
About: I have had cats and furry friends all of my life. I had a tuxedo cat ever since I was wee little to a black cat and a calico kitty. I love animals and have always taken care of cats. I will treat your little one like my own!
About: I’ve spent the past eight years caring for cats of all personalities, from shy rescues to playful kittens and seniors needing extra patience and I’ve learned how important it is to understand each cat’s unique routine and comfort level so they feel safe while you’re away. What sets me apart is my attention and genuine care; I don’t just stop in to feed and leave, I spend time making sure your cat feels comfortable, whether that’s through play, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to their normal routine, treating every cat like my own so you can have peace of mind.

About: I have been taking care of animals most of my life. I started dog sitting/walking when I was 14. Many people have relied on me to care for their animals. I am gentle and loving, but I am strong enough to not allow dogs to drag me down the road. I am currently unemployed, and I am not starting school until the fall. This has given me a lot of free time, so I thought this would be a fun way to get some exercise and make some money on the side. As well as dog-sitting, I started babysitting at 14. I learned a lot of patience because of that. So when I care for my dog, or others, I treat that animal with as much patience and love as I would a child.

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets with diverse personalities, health conditions, and behavioral needs. I have helped care for a Husky for nine years, managing health challenges and providing consistent, patient care. I also care for rescued cats and have experience pet sitting cats that require special attention around other animals. I focus on building trust, following routines, and ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I care for my own cats every day and have experience providing care for both dogs and cats through feeding, playtime, exercise, medication schedules when needed, and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate time to walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting while ensuring each pet receives attentive, reliable care and plenty of affection. When caring for pets, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, administering basic care instructions, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship. I pay close attention to each pet's behavior, health, and comfort level and provide regular updates to owners. My goal is to ensure pets receive safe, reliable, and compassionate care while maintaining the environment and routine they are accustomed to. With a spacious house, I easily can keep my two cats away if a pet doesn’t enjoy their presence. Though my cats are lovers of all, I understand if other pets aren’t the same.
About: Hi! I grew up on a hobby farm of sorts - chickens, goats, calves, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, and even the occasional injured wild bird or rabbit. I have since moved around, explored the country, and landed here in Henry County. During my trvels, I voluntered at many shelters as well as adopted 5 dogs who have sinced crossed the rainbow bridge. I now have two big squishy pups who love traveling and soaking up rays of sunshine. I work from home during the week and have a few home depot shifts on the weekend. I work from home during the week and home depot on the weekends. We like going for morning and evening walks along with some rolling around in the back yard over lunch. This will depend on the pet and his/her personality. I have many ways of separating animals should it be needed. Or, if wveryone is getting along, we have a nice big back ars for playtime and wrastling.
About: Animals are our passion. Dogs over 1 must be fixed. We’ve loved many makes and models and enjoy getting to love yours just like you would. We have a beautiful home and plenty of laps.

Dogs have free roam of our 5500 square foot home. We have a fenced in yard, we have a doggy play facility and crates if they prefer time away from play.
“Novalee (aka: Brooke G.) is an amazing dog sitter and we cannot recommend her more! On the days our dog was scheduled to be with her, we needed early drop offs and flexible pickup times - both of which she easily accommodated. Our senior dog had the absolute BEST time hanging out with Novalee and her husband and their puppy crew (he slept like a baby after coming home because he had so much fun playing!) We absolutely 100% recommend Novalee and will definitely utilize her in the future when we need to go out of town!”

About: I’ve had very many different types of dogs in our family through the years. I’ve raised dogs from 6 weeks old to senior.

I plan my schedule carefully to make sure each pet gets the time, consistency, and care they deserve while they’re with me I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to tailor my care to their personality, energy level, and routine
“If you’re looking for someone in the Fort Drum area, you found her. Maddie is very quick to get ahold of, and is beyond flexible. I was delayed one night to pick up Eva from daycare and Maddie was quick to offer to let her stay the night, that helped very much. Also, Eva was so relaxed there, she really wasn’t in a hurry to leave; which never happens.”
“Samantha took care of our 5 month old puppy and she was great! He stayed over night with her and he had a great time! Her dog gets along with others and Tito was so excited to have a playmate for the day! She has experience with fostering dogs so she definitely knows how to care for them! Would recommend anyone to her for day care needs!!”

I majored in Biology in college and took several animal science classes. I was a horseback riding instructor for summer camp in college, and have volunteered with different animal rescue orgs over the years. I currently work from home which gives me increased flexibility to provide care and attention to your pets. I enjoy getting out during the day to go for walks or romps around the yard to get some fresh air and exercise. I will treat your pet as I do my own, with kindness, compassion and lots of love. I have a fenced in yard and also will take the pets for a daily walk (dogs) to give them a change of scenery and additional exercise. I do have a 6 month pup that loves all animals and will be a great playmate. I also will provide regular updates and pictures for those clients who desire them.

About: I’m a college student who genuinely loves staying active and spending time with animals.

About: Ever since I was a kid I have had a love for dogs. I was always the one in my family to take the reigns, teach our dogs tricks, potty train, etc. My favorite thing about dogs is their loyalty, no matter the kind of day you are having they are always there for you. Their presence is always something to look forward to. I am always the go to guy for friends when they are out of town and need someone reliable to help with their fur-babies. I will ensure your babies are cared for just as well as if they were my own. Big or small I will care for them all. I currently am a Freelance Graphic Designer that hosts trivia in local bars a few nights a week. Very flexible hours to work from home.

About: I've grown up with pets and have since always come home to one. I started pet sitting in high school and continued to sit for the same and new families for years. I love all dogs and got my cat about two years ago. With my years of experience, I have cared for puppies up to senior dogs, cats, and some special needs animals. I love all animals and would be thrilled to care for yours! I am currently a part-time student in college and have a lot of time. I do have some schoolwork, but it's very light and I pretty much have an open week. I also have weekends free, so I am very flexible and can work whenever. Your pet's wellbeing, safety, and comfort is my top priority. I am an avid rule-follower and love thorough instructions to be able to give your pet the best care they need and deserve. I have my own cat and have trusted fellow Rover sitters and would love to be able to do the same. I believe in leaving a place the same or better than it was found, and would do the same when visiting your home.
About: From since before I can remember, I've always loved animals. As a kid I wanted to a dog in the worst way but we never had the room. When I was 10, our first family dog showed up under the Christmas tree and I was hooked. There have been few times in my life where I haven't had a dog to take care of. I've worked in a vet office, an animal rescue, and have helped take care of dogs for friends and family when they go out of town. I currently work part-time so I have the flexibility to provide your furbaby with the best care. Daily walks and play time are already built into our daily routine and your pup can join in on the fun! I have a very large fenced in yard and live on a dead end road so traffic is minimal around our home. Our two dogs are very friendly and love to have visits from other dog friends. Our home is large enough that a separate space can be created for your pup if they feel overwhelmed or just need some quiet time. A crate can also be utilized if needed.
About: My years of experience is for professional experience. Years personal experience is well over 20. I’ve had pets all my life growing up from exotics to cats and dogs. Professionally I’ve been a pet groomer (can do small animals, dogs and cats) and a shift manager at a pet store where I was a pet specialist, dog groomer, and pet nutritionalist. I have experience with fish, dogs, cats, pocket pets (hamsters, rats, mice, Guinea pigs, rabbits ect.), reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, arachnids. I have certifications in pet grooming, animal body language, and pet care. Formerly a fear certified pet groomer (not activity grooming anymore but I plan to get that back). Feel free to message me with any questions or concerns you may have. I’m going to school full time all online so when pet sitting I am able to take my course work with me while I take care of your pets. I will follow all instructions, I have slip leads that I will use over the collars so that way if anything happens during walks outside there’ll be extra protection. I will pick up after your dog. Make sure water is available 24/7 and make sure feeding schedules are on time. I can also take care of exotic pets, fish, and I have an amazing green thumb! So even your plants will get the best care.
About: I’ve spent the past eight years caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments from energetic puppies to large, strong dogs and older pets needing a gentler pace and I’m completely comfortable adapting to each one’s needs. Over time, I’ve learned how important consistency, patience, and understanding behavior are, whether that means handling high-energy walks, reinforcing routines, or helping a nervous dog feel at ease. What sets me apart is that I don’t just walk or check in and leave—I take the time to build trust, give them attention, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Pet care and pet sitting fit seamlessly into my schedule, allowing me to be flexible and dependable for both regular visits and last-minute needs. With more availability during the current season and upcoming summer, I’m able to offer consistent care, longer visits, and more time for walks, play, and attention. This flexibility benefits clients by ensuring their pets maintain a stable routine, get extra exercise, and receive reliable, attentive care while they’re away, especially during busy travel months. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I always prioritize safety, follow your instructions closely, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well. I’m respectful of your space, dependable, and treat your home and pets with the same care I give my own. When pet sitting, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep things stress-free. This typically includes feeding on schedule, fresh water, walks or litter box care, playtime or companionship, and any medications if needed. I also do quick check-ins around the home (like making sure everything is secure) and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to keep everything as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away.

That means at times, my husband will be working on our house renovations for a couple hours in the evenings. We renovating slowly and will keep boarding dogs in mind when doing so. There will be times where drywall is being replaced, new flooring is being laid, and renovations will result in a louder home environment. We work as fast as our budget allows so it's not a daily occurrence. If you have any questions or concerns, I'll be happy to address them during out meet and greet. *We our whole backyard fenced in with a doggy pool, toys and a cement pad to sunbathe on. *Our village is walkable so short walks are available if requested. *Non-reactive dogs can be bathed for an additional service fee. (All dogs will be spot cleaned if muddy conditions cause dirty paws and bellies.) *Dogs must be friendly with other dogs and cats. Some growling and barking is normal during the first couple stays but if either of our pets just don't seem to mesh well, I will suggest alternative care for the safety of our pets. *Unaltered males and females are allowed. If females are in heat, please provide a diaper with pads as well. *Your pets are at home with us which means, they're welcome on our furniture. I woke from home and have open availability and can spend all day and night with your pups. Send me a booking request to schedule a meet and greet. *I can kennel for the safety of your pets if needed during times I'm away from home on short trips. *I can carry over rules you have in place at your home to mine. Examples: Sleeping in kennel, not jumping on furniture, etc. *I'm vet trained in administering oral, topical, and vaccinations when needed. Example: Diabetic Insulin Shots. *If your pet has storm anxiety, we will camp out in the bathroom with soothing music until the storm passes. *I will not leave dogs unsupervised while playing outside, or with other pets.
About: I have had experience with doggos ever since I was a little kiddo. We had a Japanese Kai doggo up until recently and I have also had some part time jobs taking care of dogs for my friends and family. I will love your furry friend as my own! I am currently a full time college student in the school year and a part time college student in the summer. I work online and will have all the time in the world to play with your pets and take care of them! I live at a house with friendly neighbors but not a fenced in yard. We have trees on our property that shield the road from our house.
About: I'm the proud owner of two orange feline dictators and have extensive experience watching and caring for dogs and cats. I am allergic to birds however, so please let me know if there is a feathered friend in your home. I am currently working part-time and able to assist in helping care for your beloved pet! I am able to assist during the day and evening. I am unable to care for pets inside my personal home, but I am attentive and openly communicate with pet owners to ensure a smooth and safe process while caring for your pet in your home.
About: I previously worked for my local humane society for over a year, caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from young kittens and puppies to senior pets. I also have experience with birds, rats, and rabbits. During that time, I cared for animals with special needs, administered daily medications, and worked with pets who were highly reactive or needed extra patience and understanding. I'm also a proud foster fail—I adopted both a tiny kitten I fostered at just a few weeks old and an older, grouchy cat who stole my heart. I work part-time and am very flexible. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine, and I love spending quality time making sure pets feel happy, safe, and loved. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and comfortable, with spaces where pets can relax and feel safe. I keep toxic items and hazards out of reach and follow any specific routines or rules you share. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine, from feeding schedules to favorite toys and walking routes. I always keep a close eye on pets, use positive reinforcement, and take extra care with animals who have special needs, medications, or reactivity.
About: I grew up watching a lot of Animal Planet, back when Animal Channel was Steve Erwin, Jeff Corwin, Meerkat Manor, and various Vet shows, and I've always had cats around me at home and at my grandparent's. I've also walked and cared for dogs for family off and on over the years. I promise to do my best to take care of your fur babies as if they were my own! I can't do any boarding or stay overs as I have two of my own cats I need to love on, but I'm currently part-time, so I am fairly flexible to make time for your fur babies otherwise. I fully understand that some pets want space from strangers outside the necessary while others need someone to hang out with them and tire them out. I'm comfortable to providing whatever your pet needs.
About: I’ve had very many different types of dogs in our family through the years. I’ve raised dogs from 6 weeks old to senior. I have experience with giving dogs medicine and following special meal schedules. I have stayed over with dogs and cats for family and friends while they were on vacation, etc. for 20+ years. I absolutely love all animals and promise to love yours too! This is my only source of employment so I can be really flexible and accommodating to your needs and your pet’s needs. Whether it be for potty breaks, taking your pet for a walk, abiding by food/medication schedules, or extended stays. I am available to sit in your home to keep your pet feeling as comfortable and safe as possible. I am familiar with building trust with dogs as well. If you don’t need a daily/nightly sitter, you can count on me to potty your dog at a minimum of every 4 hours.
About: Hello, my is Amy. I have been around Great Danes my whole life. My mom show them. So, I help groom, train, & play with them. Since I have done this, I have been around other types of dogs too. Little to huge, even cats, let's not forget them. I, also, have taken vet assisting courses. So, I can give shots, meds by mouth. I know the signs of a dog not feeling well. The thing I love to do with the dogs is spend time with the threw ball, playing tug a war, go for walks, car rides( if the doggie likes them,) if your is allowed doggie ice cream, play in the park, etc. I am an animal lover. Your fur baby will be treated like family. I'm currently working part time so I'll give your furbaby plenty of exercise & play with them. I will play ball, run with your furbaby outside play with it's favorite toy. I have a fenced in yard. I play with them when I let them out. I give them hugs & & kisses all the rime
About: While I am somewhat new to dog/cat sitting, I have grown up with 2 dogs and 3 cats in my household. I also recently adopted my own kitten who I take care of myself! I’m currently back from school for the summer so I am just looking for a part-time job until then. I have a lot of time on my hands, so I’m just looking for good opportunities. I often care for my pets by making sure they always have enough food and water and time of attention and exercise. If someone has specific needs or instructions, I’d follow as told.
About: I have had dogs all my life and I have pet sit for many of family members for years. I also worked in a kennel for two summers. I also go to school for pre-vet so I work with animals all the time. I am a college student at the university so mornings are hard with school but afternoons are open. I am available on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays after 2pm. I don’t have a pet at the moment so yours would not have to worry. I can easily crate if needed be and we have a huge yard for them to run around.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I used to take care of two dogs before they passed. I take care of my neighbors dogs when they are gone. I would love to help others take care of their dogs before I get one of my own again. I have mostly taken care of dogs that are already potty trained. I currently work on the weekends in the morning and have night classes during the week. I am able to watch more than one dog at a time. I have a fenced yard. I am able to put pets back inside their crate when needed. I have taken care of dogs that were not fenced in and needed a leash outside. I am able to walk small dogs as well as large.
About: I am a sitter and walker who is very patient with all dogs, especially energetic ones. I love all animals, and because I am an athlete, I have lots of energy, so if your dog wants to run while we walk and play, I happily will! If they do not, I am always calm as well and will be patient with your dog. I walk my dog Charlie every day, and I also walk my sister's dog, Finn. I am always happy to go outside and get some fresh air. I play with Charlie as much as I can until he’s tired (which is literally never), and I always make sure he’s got plenty of water.
About: I have been taking care of animals most of my life. I started dog sitting/walking when I was 14. Many people have relied on me to care for their animals. I am gentle and loving, but I am strong enough to not allow dogs to drag me down the road. I am currently unemployed, and I am not starting school until the fall. This has given me a lot of free time, so I thought this would be a fun way to get some exercise and make some money on the side. As well as dog-sitting, I started babysitting at 14. I learned a lot of patience because of that. So when I care for my dog, or others, I treat that animal with as much patience and love as I would a child.
About: Hi! My name is Hayley. I am 25 years old and have four of my own furry babies; Watson, Oscar, Scoobet- Doobert, & Emma. I am a grad student at OSU. I grew up with dogs, cats, turtles, guinea pigs, bunnies, lizards, and much more. Which has led me to become the animal lover that I am today. I have experience with caring for pregnant dogs and cats and have assisted in birth of some puppies. I also have experience with horses. I have worked with/ live with multiple puppies and kittens. I can help with training with puppies/dogs. No dog is ever too old! I love all animals, no matter how big or small. And I look forward to loving yours. See you soon! I currently am a full time online college student, my routine is pretty flexible with the right time notice. Feel free to ask me any questions. I find it best to care for your fur babies in your home where they are the most comfortable. This way your fur babies are the most happy and healthy.
About: I’ve always been the go to person when someone needs their dog picked up, let out or watched. I’ve had animals my entire life from horses to dogs. I am a registered nurse who works 3 days a week. I am currently looking for a side gig that is baby friendly so my son can tag along on walks. Your dogs will not be left out of my sight! I would never want anything bad to happen on my watch, as dogs are considered family.

“Erin was available on very short notice for a holiday weekend for both of our pups. We have to very sweet, happy boys, but they are both big…one being a giant Newfoundland who is full of 1 y/o energy 😉 She was so accommodating and sent us updates and photos so we knew the boys were doing just fine. She was quick to respond and the boys were happy as could be. We would definitely come to Erin for future needs again!”
“It was our first time leaving our pup since we’ve had her. We need a last minute sitter and Oren took her in and did so good with her. We were given so many updates and pictures any time we asked. She even was taken to a dog park to run and play. We will definitely be booking him for our next vacation.”
“Abby and her family were really loving with my Razzle. Great communication and pictures. Razzle had fun playing with her two fur babies and running around in their big backyard. Thank you so much we will definitely use you again.”
“Bazinga looked so happy staying at Rachel’s for the weekend. From the pictures she shared and the regular updates I could tell he was well taken care of. The only problem I had is that he didn’t look like he wanted to come home after a fun weekend playing with his new friends. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend Rachel. We don’t travel a lot but I’m sure we’ll be back when we do.”
“Melissa did an amazing job with my two boys! I could tell how much they loved spending time with her and her sister. The boys came home happy and well rested. She was very communicative and kind throughout the entire process and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for boarding services! I am looking forward to re-booking in the future. Thank you again!!!”
“Definitely recommend Madison to watch my pup. She has few other dogs and I was not sure how she would react with other dogs as she likes to play but can sometimes be a handful. Madison was nice enough to meet Nala before I even booked and let her meet her dogs so we could see how they would react. She put my mind at ease by sending videos and pictures during Nalas stay showing me how Nala was getting along with her pups and just having a grand ole time. She has plenty of field for dogs to run around and enjoy/ tire themselves out. Will definitely be trusting her with my pup again and can not recommend her enough.”
“Fantastic service! Very accommodating to my travel schedule with pick-up & drop-off. Great communication in very timely way including daily updates. Very knowledgeable of dogs, and how she introduced my dog to her two. Even allowed me to meet her pups. I’m in process of booking again, and very grateful for Lisa and her thorough care of Winston!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up in a home filled with pets of all kinds. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including those with special medical needs or health conditions. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or requires extra patience and attention, I’ll provide compassionate, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands. I currently own a business and have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time to care for my furry friends! I live with my husband and two boys ages 10 & 15; who are also very helpful with any pet needs especially play time and walks. I prioritize every pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being by providing a clean, secure, and loving environment. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, a pet-free home with no other animals, and I always maintain close supervision, follow routines, and give each pet the individual attention they deserve.
“Breanna & Clay took the most amazing care of our "special needs" pup, Yogi, for a 10 day visit, they were absolutely amazing in calming our fears of leaving him for such a long time. Yogi thrived while staying with them, and they provided the most adorable pictures and videos throughout the stay! After many pet sitters being used throughout the years, we were finally able to relax on a vacation without worry! 10/10 will be using them again, we actually just booked them for our next trip! If you want a worry free vacation knowing your pup is in good hands, book with these two!!”
“Novalee/Brooke G. is a fantastic pet sitter! Our dog stayed with her for a week while I was out of town and he had the BEST TIME at her house! He spent his days romping with her adorable pups, playing inside and outside and sniffing all the smells on their neighborhood walks. Novalee also took him on excursions to various pet-friendly stores and family get togethers - which meant he rarely spent anytime alone. Her level of care is unmatched and we know that anytime our dog is with her, he is loved just like her own. I cannot recommend Novalee more highly!”
“Im so glad i found maddie! She was so accomodating and enthusiastic about watching our dog for a couple days. She had no trouble handling my dog, even though he struggles with anxiety and food aggression. She gave candor all the attention he needed, and he came home a very happy dog.”
“We have 2 Yorkies, Cody and Emma, who are like our babies. We just don't let anyone watch them unless we feel 100% sure about their stay. Cindy is a total dog lover and is a very welcoming person. She watched Cody and Emma over Memorial Day weekend and sent us pictures everyday. Her home is warm and inviting and I love the fact that her backyard is safe and secure even for our Emma who is only 6 pounds. They had every comfort of home with Cindy. I will definitely request Cindy for future boarding and would highly recommend her services if you need a loving home for your pet.”
About: I would say what sets me apart is I’ve had special training incase of any type of emergency or mishap. I am a very forgiving person also. My schedule is fairy open so I have time to fit most a lot of things in. One of which is taking care of animals I most walk them at the park or play with animals in my house. My home can fit 1-2 dogs or 3 cats at a time
“Sarah was very nice and accommodating for our last minute needs! She communicated while we were out and took care of our needy pups like they were her own. Will be using her again in the future.”
“Emily took great care of our dog, and from pictures and updates it looked like Sunny had the best time and also made friends with her pup! Will definitely bring Sunny back to her in the future!”
“We could tell that Stella enjoyed her time with Betsy & Gordon and their children. We were very selective in our selected sitters leading up to our European vacation. This was our first out of the country vacation away from Stella. Betsy and Gordon provided us with great communication leading up to the booking, and great communication throughout. Easing my fur momma worries. We hope that Stella will visit again soon!”
