“David and his family took such great care of our two babies, Barfi and Omi. He treated them like their own and made sure to send lots of pictures and updates throughout the day! We will definitely be keeping David and his family in mind for the next time we are out of town!”
“Tom and Tolley and the whole family are great! This was our dog’s third stay (2nd boarding overnight) and we were a little apprehensive initially, because our dog has separation anxiety. Our dog did very well and was very excited to go back. Tom and Tolley were professional, reassuring, caring and receptive to our dogs needs. She was treated like one of the family and had a great time.. received daily updates (text, photo, video) with feedback during her stay. It was a very positive experience overall for us and our dog. It was nice to get away and not worry and feel comfortable that our dog was in good hands and we could trust them to provide and care for her. 100% positive experience.”
“Karin and her loving family provided such an excellent stay for my precious puppy, I was afraid that he wasn't going to want to come home! Their commitment to providing a safe home made me feel very comfortable leaving for my 10 day trip, and I enjoyed it even more seeing all the photos of my boy having such an enriching time! I will absolutely be booking with Karin again.”
“From the moment I met Barbara I knew my pet would be safe with her. Skai took to her right away. Her home was peaceful and welcoming. Barbara kept me updated- assuring me our dog was doing well. I will definitely use her services again.”
“This was our first time using the service. Summer kept us up to date and send pics of our girl. She communicated with us in a timely manner and did an awesome job keeping us informed!”
“Miranda was amazing! This was my first time using rover and was nervous to leave my dog with a stranger, but Miranda exceed all expectations and calmed all worries! She gave many updates and was always quick to respond! Gauging from the photos she sent, it looks like my pup had an excellent time! You can tell she truly has a passion and a love of taking care of animals. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing someone to watch their pet.”
“Margaret is amazing! Great communication, and lots of photos showing my pup was having a great time! You can tell Margaret really cares and treated her as one of her own! Highly recommend! 5 Stars!”
“Ramona watched our two puppies and she was great! She sent pictures and was in contact with us during our stay. She has a wonderful home with a nice backyard! Thank you so much Ramona! We really appreciate you caring for our dogs.”
“Great couple to watch our pup. We wanted someone with a fenced in yard and other dogs to help socialize and tire our pup out and that’s exactly what we got. Our girl was happy to come back after the initial meet and greet and happy to book with them in the future.”
“I have two high energy beagles and Kelly took them on. She was even smiling when I picked them up. She kept me updated and included pictures. I will definitely have Kelly watch the dogs again and I am so grateful she was so good to them.”
“Sarah and Brandon were absolutely wonderful! They took amazing care of my dog during her week-long stay, and I could really tell they treated her like family. They sent regular updates, photos, and responded quickly whenever I had a question. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in great hands. I highly recommend Sarah and Brandon to anyone looking for kind, reliable and attentive pet sitters!”
“Was nervous about boarding Stella since we’ve never done this. I appreciated the daily updates, pictures and walks that Stella thoroughly enjoys. It seems that Stella was right at home and probably didn’t mind her lengthy stay with Mackenzie & Jared. I know that if we needed to board Stella again we’d definitely choose Mackenzie!”
“We were nervous for our first time having a dog sitter for our pup, but Christina was great! Very communicative and our little guy was well taken care of. I’d recommend her for sure.”
“Michelle was an amazing sitter! Her family was so welcoming and awesome with dogs. They made sure Forrest was comfortable and that they knew everything he needed while he was there. I received the best pictures of my dog and other dogs they were watching hanging out together! Already booked my dog to stay with them again! :)”
“Brendan and Sarah took amazing care of my little man for 4 days! They kept me updated, sent lots of pictures, and gave my dog lots of love and snuggles. I was referred to these two and I felt so comfortable knowing Tito was in great hands. I was questioning if Tito was going to even want to come back home with all the fun he was having! I can’t think those two enough for all the great care they gave Tito while I was away.”
“Stacie and Doug were amazing. My dog has several medications she needs to take throughout the day and she is older. They were wonderful about keeping me updated on her stay with them. It really gave me peace of mind as I was on vacation. I will be booking with them again soon …highly recommend Stacie and Doug.”
“Swetha was terrific. Provided timely updates on our dog and was very accommodating with any special needs and adjustments to our booking. She allowed us to bring our dog to her home and meet her family prior to our booking date which definitely eased any concerns. I would highly recommend Swetha and definitely will be a returning customer as she provided first class service to my dog and I.”
“Kayla was a great sitter for our pup. We needed help last minute, we did a meet and greet and then our dog stayed for a long weekend. She came home exhausted from all the fun and play. She was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Kayla for your sitting needs.”

I’m also always on the look out for potential safety issues and prefer to keep collars off of pets that get crated just in case.

My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years.

I really appreciated the frequent updates — every few hours they would send multiple photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Snowy looked happy and comfortable the entire time. I would highly recommend Swetha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for children and managing a busy household, which has given me strong skills in supervision, structure, and maintaining a calm, safe environment skills that translate directly to dog care. I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and behaviors, including high-energy dogs and those who need extra patience or consistency. In my home, dogs are never left unsupervised for long periods. I follow feeding schedules closely, maintain consistent routines, and pay close attention to behavior and body language to keep everyone safe and comfortable. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel secure, especially in a new environment, and I work to make the transition as smooth as possible. I have experience handling multiple responsibilities at once, which means your dog will be cared for in a structured, attentive environment not a chaotic or unpredictable one. Safety, supervision, and communication with owners are always my top priorities. I care for every dog like they're one of my own. My home isn't run on a strict schedule instead, dogs become part of our daily routine. We start our mornings by getting up and heading outside to play, and on weekends we spend lots of time outdoors enjoying the yard. During the week, I work from home, so the dogs hang out with me inside and get plenty of attention throughout the day. They have opportunities to go outside whenever they need to, and I make a point to get everyone out at least once every hour. My goal is to provide a relaxed, loving environment where dogs feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. My home is set up to be safe, structured, and comfortable for dogs of different temperaments. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time and two friendly dogs who are used to being around others. I closely supervise all interactions and can separate or crate dogs when needed to ensure everyone stays safe. I follow each dog’s routine carefully and pay attention to behavior and body language to prevent issues before they start. Owners can expect regular updates and a calm, well managed environment.
About: With 18 years of dedicated pet care experience, I bring both professional expertise and a lifelong passion for dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. I am a Certified Service and Therapy Dog Trainer and hold Dog CPR and First Aid certification through the Red Cross, ensuring your pup’s safety and well-being is always my top priority. Beyond training, I actively volunteer at a local animal shelter, giving me hands-on experience with dogs who have unique needs and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior companions to those with special needs, I have worked with them all—providing everything from structured training to loving, reliable care. Whether it’s dog walking, daycare, or drop-in visits, I approach every pup as if they were my own, blending knowledge, patience, and heart into every interaction. Pet care isn’t just part of my routine—it is my routine. I work with dogs all day, every day, from training and walks to playtime and enrichment. My schedule is completely centered around caring for dogs, which means I can provide plenty of time, consistency, and attention for your pup whenever they need it. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I make sure each pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, dogs get plenty of exercise, playtime, and cuddles, along with a structured routine that helps them feel at ease. I keep things clean, cozy, and tailored to each dog’s needs—whether that’s a quiet nap space or room to romp and play. When I care for pets in their own home, I follow your instructions carefully to maintain their normal routine. I treat your dog just like I do my own—with the utmost love and care. From fresh food and water to exercise, potty breaks, and lots of affection, I make sure your pup is safe, happy and comfortable.
“Very satisfied with the care Ramona gave to my pup. It was the first time so she was a little timid but the pictures Ramona sent me showed that she was just fine. I would not hesitate to contact Ramona again when I need care for my pup.”
“Marie & Jorge were amazing with our Blu! They took lots of pictures and kept us updated throughout the day. They were so caring and loving with her. We will 100% be back!!”

Pets are not left alone for long periods, and I’m able to accommodate most feeding, potty, and medication schedules. I also offer flexible pickup and drop-off times when my schedule allows.

About: My husband, Keith and I love dogs and have had them all of our lives. Our beloved rescue dog passed in April. We miss having a dog to love on and play with. Your dog(s)will be treated like they are part of our family. My husband and I make a great team as he likes to take the dogs for daily walks no matter the weather and I like to play fetch, or work on commands. I work from home full-time while my husband works from home 3 days a week so we are here on site daily. We are active people and love to go on walks ourselves so we will take the dog with us. There are no kids or other pets in our home. We have an invisible fence so we will ensure all dogs are taken out on a leash when they need to go outside.
About: I've owned and cared for a lot of different animals since I was 7, ferrets, rats, mice, fish, dogs, cats. I have senior animal care experience, and experience giving animals medication on a schedule. I've had my own dog Pinky since she was a puppy, so I'm sure I can handle any rambunctious pups! I have some cat stuff, even though I don't own a cat. I have a cat tree, scratching posts, cat toys. I'm a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to care for your beloved pets! I'm available for you to drop off/pick up your pets on weekends and weekdays from 8am - 10pm I have a Large fenced in back yard, and plenty of time to take dogs on walks. I have a small 5lbs Chihuahua named Pinky, she likes cats and medium to small dogs (big dogs make her a little nervous, but we are working on that). Pinky is crate trained, so if your fur baby is crate trained I'll have no problem letting them out in the morning, and putting them in at night. If you have a senior animal, or an animal that needs medication, let me know all of the care details, so I can keep them on schedule and keep them comfortable and cared for!

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember! My family has always had multiple pets in our home at a time. I currently own a dog named Jax, and two cats named Milo and Lee! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperament. I have taken care of puppies, blind/deaf dogs, big dogs who like to take you on a walk instead 😅, cuddly and energetic labs, shy dogs who may hide, and I love them all the same! I am a nanny, so I also take my part in loving and taking care of their animals in their home or when they may travel! As a pet mom myself, I understand how big of a decision it is to search and trust for someone to look after your fur baby. That’s why I will always focus on communication and providing updates and pictures so you can feel at ease and comfortable. All animals are family, and I will treat your pet as if they were my own. When I come to your home, I promise to come with all the extra snuggles, belly rubs, or anything your pet may need to feel comfortable, keeping up with routines, required needs, and all different personalities. If your pet may need special medications, I also have experience with that area! I’m currently a college student, home full time for the summer! I go to a community college, so long term care is also available! Some hours may just change once I start again this Fall semester :) I care for each pet as if they were my own. My animals are my babies, my world, and I expect it is the same for all pet owners. You putting your trust in me to care for your babies means the world to me, and you won’t regret it! :)
“I recently hired Kerry as a dog walker for my Evan, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Kerry is incredibly reliable and professional. She also provides regular updates and is very communicative, which gives me peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
“Extremely reliable, communicative, and the dogs absolutely love him—we couldn’t ask for a better daily visit than our walks with CJ! He provides so much peace of mind, knowing my dogs are being well cared for when I can’t be there. The adorable photo updates are always a joy, and it’s clear that he puts a lot of effort into building relationships with his clients—human and furry friends alike.”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on farm experience caring for multiple species, combined with over a year of professional kennel work. I’m confident handling a variety of temperaments and routines, and I have long-term references who have trusted me with their animals for years I provide pet care full time, which means I have consistent availability for drop-ins, walks, and extended stays. My flexible schedule allows me to prioritize your pet’s routine and be reliable when you need coverage. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules, and household routines exactly as provided. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and I never allow unsafe interactions with other animals.

I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you always feel at ease.

I work a couple days a week, so i have lots of availability. i’m available pretty much every morning and evening for dog walking/house visits. Weekends vary.

Therefore I can play with them, give them breaks in their crates or anything else!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I currently have a yellow lab, Ranger, who will be turning three in September—he’s truly my whole world! I’ve raised him since he was a puppy and have put a lot of time and care into his training, so I understand how important consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement are. I also have a 4-month-old puppy, River, so I’m very familiar with the energy, attention, and structure that puppies need. In addition to my own dogs, I’ve taken in foster dogs over the years, which has given me experience working with a wide range of personalities—from playful pups to senior dogs who need a gentler approach. Daily walks are one of my favorite activities, and I love making sure dogs get the exercise, enrichment, and attention they deserve. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a reliable sitter, or someone patient and experienced, I will treat them like my own—with lots of love, care, and attention to their unique needs. I’d love to meet your pup! I work a 8-5 so I could walk before work at anytime. I could also walk at 6 or 7 during the week after work! I love a morning walk with a pal. With a lab I know all about it a ton of energy and how to handle it. We have worked a ton on leash and he is 60 lbs.
About: I have had animals my whole life, from dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, iguanas, and rabbits. I have lived with them, fed them and kept them clean.

“Tom and Tolley and the whole family are great! This was our dog’s third stay (2nd boarding overnight) and we were a little apprehensive initially, because our dog has separation anxiety. Our dog did very well and was very excited to go back. Tom and Tolley were professional, reassuring, caring and receptive to our dogs needs. She was treated like one of the family and had a great time.. received daily updates (text, photo, video) with feedback during her stay. It was a very positive experience overall for us and our dog. It was nice to get away and not worry and feel comfortable that our dog was in good hands and we could trust them to provide and care for her. 100% positive experience.”
“Karin and her loving family provided such an excellent stay for my precious puppy, I was afraid that he wasn't going to want to come home! Their commitment to providing a safe home made me feel very comfortable leaving for my 10 day trip, and I enjoyed it even more seeing all the photos of my boy having such an enriching time! I will absolutely be booking with Karin again.”
“Miranda was amazing! This was my first time using rover and was nervous to leave my dog with a stranger, but Miranda exceed all expectations and calmed all worries! She gave many updates and was always quick to respond! Gauging from the photos she sent, it looks like my pup had an excellent time! You can tell she truly has a passion and a love of taking care of animals. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing someone to watch their pet.”
“Margaret is amazing! Great communication, and lots of photos showing my pup was having a great time! You can tell Margaret really cares and treated her as one of her own! Highly recommend! 5 Stars!”
“I have two high energy beagles and Kelly took them on. She was even smiling when I picked them up. She kept me updated and included pictures. I will definitely have Kelly watch the dogs again and I am so grateful she was so good to them.”
“Was nervous about boarding Stella since we’ve never done this. I appreciated the daily updates, pictures and walks that Stella thoroughly enjoys. It seems that Stella was right at home and probably didn’t mind her lengthy stay with Mackenzie & Jared. I know that if we needed to board Stella again we’d definitely choose Mackenzie!”
“We were nervous for our first time having a dog sitter for our pup, but Christina was great! Very communicative and our little guy was well taken care of. I’d recommend her for sure.”
“Michelle was an amazing sitter! Her family was so welcoming and awesome with dogs. They made sure Forrest was comfortable and that they knew everything he needed while he was there. I received the best pictures of my dog and other dogs they were watching hanging out together! Already booked my dog to stay with them again! :)”
“Brendan and Sarah took amazing care of my little man for 4 days! They kept me updated, sent lots of pictures, and gave my dog lots of love and snuggles. I was referred to these two and I felt so comfortable knowing Tito was in great hands. I was questioning if Tito was going to even want to come back home with all the fun he was having! I can’t think those two enough for all the great care they gave Tito while I was away.”
“Swetha was terrific. Provided timely updates on our dog and was very accommodating with any special needs and adjustments to our booking. She allowed us to bring our dog to her home and meet her family prior to our booking date which definitely eased any concerns. I would highly recommend Swetha and definitely will be a returning customer as she provided first class service to my dog and I.”
“Kayla was a great sitter for our pup. We needed help last minute, we did a meet and greet and then our dog stayed for a long weekend. She came home exhausted from all the fun and play. She was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Kayla for your sitting needs.”
“Wendalyn and Keith were wonderful! They were very easy to communicate with sent us a lot of pictures of our sweet girl, and even took her to Petco for a present—too kind! We will absolutely book with them again!”
“Jenni takes such amazing care of our dog. It is easy to see how comfortable Lucy is and how thoughtfully she is cared for. She gets lots of exercise and we love seeing all the pics of her -and the fun that she is having!!”
“I originally chose Michael because he was so responsive to my inquiries, and I was glad I did. He was very accommodating to my ever changing drop off and pick up times for boarding. Also, my dog is pretty wild and I told him I’d understand if she was too much of a handful, but he was not put off at all, and they both seemed to really enjoy each other. He took her for plenty of walks to make sure she got her energy out. Will gladly board with him again in the future!”
“Katherine is amazing! Biscuit loved her and her dog!! He had the best time and she kept me updated daily with pictures and text messages! I will absolutely recommend her to my family and friends and will be using her services again! Thank you Katherine!”
“Bridget was such an amazing sitter. While I was on vacation she sent me videos and photos of my dog to keep me updated on how he was doing. Her her dogs were so friendly and playful it made dog feel right at home. He was so happy and well taken care of I will he using Bridget as my sitter anytime time I need my dog to be watched.”
