“Daniel and Rachel are always so accommodating and sends us many photos and videos of our Yote playing. He's always so happy to visit and pooped when we bring him home.”
“Kaitlyn and her family were amazing!! They treated my precious Lele like family. I received pictures of my girl every day. I can’t say enough about how wonderful this experience was!!!”
“Fifth time client and as always, a great experience. Our dogs love Chelsea and her family. Lots of snuggles and playtime and love. She is our go to and #1 choice any time we are headed out of town.”
“Brandon is such a cool person and I will definitely be a regular customer of his. He went the extra mile to help me feel confident about leaving my fur baby with him (the first time I’ve ever left my dog alone without me for an overnight stay somewhere). He has a very nice backyard area for the dogs and was excellent with communication. I felt very at ease, especially with the photo updates! Thank you, Brandon!”
“Loved booking with Brittni, very easy process. She was available any time I had a question or just wanted to check in on Max. He loved it there snd I’m happy I found someone that he is comfortable with so that I don’t have to be anxious while away.”
“Angela was wonderful with our little princess. This is the first time we used someone outside of family and we were nervous. Angela was very in touch with us and took great care of Callie. She sent us updates and photos while were gone. Put us at ease to see Callie so relaxed. We will definitely use Angela again. I highly recommend her. Thank you again Angela.”
“Jennifer is top notch! My dogs were picked up happy and healthy! She took them on several walks and kept us updated with pictures. She is definitely dependable and trustworthy and I wouldn't hesitate to leave them there again! Thanks Jennifer!”
“Wendy was amazing with our challenging pandemic puppy. She is excellent with the dogs and I really appreciated the robust communication. I knew my dog was in great hands.”
“Karma was amazing! I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog. She updated us on our dogs status and handled him being scared of other dogs and a new environment. She demonstrated great knowledge of all breeds and their quirky behavior! If your looking for someone who knows how to handle all dogs, Karma is your person.”
“My puppies had a wonderful time during their stay with Gina as was evidenced by the pictures and videos she sent 😊. They were well taken care of AND loved which means the world to me.”
“Deanna was awesome and Brownie adjusted to her really well! We received daily pictures with her new friends. Dee responds back quickly. She put our minds at ease and knew our girl would be in good hands!! Definitely will be using her again!!”
“Ronda is an amazing dog sitter!! She was friendly with us as well as the dog. I felt confident after the play meet because she let our good dog kairi run around in every room and outside. The house was very clean, freshly scented and safe for dogs. We were sent pictures everyday without asking or bothering her. We had no complaints for a whole 9 days on vacation to California. We will always contact her for future dog sitting no matter the duration. We trust her and she’s a good, nice, modern, casual, and sweet person. Easy to talk with and recommend her for sure upon being strangers. Ronda watched our pitbull with confidence with all the true information about Kairi. It worked out. Thank you so much!!”
“Arya is fantastic with our dog Max, and we couldn't be happier with the care he receives. He sends frequent videos and updates throughout the day, so we always know exactly what Max is up to and can see how happy he is. Max gets walked regularly, plenty of personal one-on-one playtime, and time to socialize with other dogs in a spacious area where they can really run and play. What really stands out is how much Max loves going there. He willingly goes with Arya every time and clearly enjoys himself the whole time he's there. It's such a relief to have a sitter we trust completely. Highly recommend Arya to anyone looking for a caring, attentive dog sitter!”
“Beth & Edward took great care of our little dog Gizmo. She had never been kenneled before and they provided a perfect place for her. Beth sent daily messages, updates & pictures of Gizmo which put me at ease. Excellent response time to any of my questions or concerns. Thank you so much!”
“Alayna was super kind and responsive. Sent lots of pictures of my pup while I was gone! My dog just ran right into her house when I dropped her off, so I knew it was going to go well. I plan to utilize her services in the future!”
“Maya is an awesome nanny for our kitty. While we were traveling to Yellowstone National Park, Maya kindly helped take care of our little girl—our beloved cat, Meme. She kept us updated with photos and stories of Meme’s daily activities. As a talented writer, Maya beautifully captured their moments together with vivid and heartwarming descriptions. Meme quickly warmed up to Maya and settled in with ease. She’s been eating well—so well, in fact, that she’s noticeably heavier than before! We’re truly grateful for the time and care that Maya and her husband devoted to looking after her. Thanks to their support, we were able to enjoy our trip with complete peace of mind.”
“Amanda and her husband were absolutely wonderful with our 11 month old puppy, Theo! He loved playing with their 2 pups and running in their fenced in backyard. Amanda was so accommodating and sent us updates with pictures of Theo each day of our trip. It was very comforting knowing that he was with someone who cared so much! We would happily book with Amanda and her husband again.”

About: Hi there! I have been a pet sitter for 7 years with a majority of bookings being cats. I have multi-species experience including: dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, fish, turtles, and rabbits. I am a cat owner myself, and truly enjoy interacting with and observing cats. I am a 4th year student of Animal Behavior with a primary interest in enrichment and welfare. I have experience with: • oral medication administration • pets with anxiety • grooming and nail trimming (*depends on your pet's temperament) • enrichment I am available for drop-in visits, walks, or pet-sittings. ***I do not offer boarding due to my own pet for the safety of all pets involved!
About: I have been a certified dog trainer for 15 years, a boarder/sitter for 10 years, and a foster for 2. I do what I love! Pups are my full-time job so fitting them into my lifestyle is never inconvenient. Training, boarding, daytime care, or I can host your pet's birthday party with a cake or pupcakes, decorations, and fun games! All pets that come to my home are treated like my own. We have 2 acres for plenty of play space, walks, runs, and exploring. I am a dog foster and often have dogs in my home, but am able to also have your pet/pets as the only ones if preferred!
“Loved knowing that our little sweeties were being taken care of and loved on while we were out of town. The check-in notices and photos were an added bonus. Communication with Olivia was super quick and she was responsive to questions. We’d hire olivia again in a minute!”
About: I’ve been around all sorts of animals for my whole life and have a passion for caring for them. My family used to have horses, goats, birds, turtles, hamsters, squirrels, dogs, and cats growing up. My mom has been breeding German Shepards consistently for about 5 years now. I’ve helped her raise numerous litters and have spent countless hours playing with puppies. We also have 9 dogs total, 8 being German Shepards and one little dog, so I am more than comfortable taking care of dogs and happy to do so. If I were to stay over to watch your animals I could provide care for them up until 9 in the morning and when I return home from work at around 3:30. That would be Monday through Friday and then I have complete availability on the weekends. A few of our dogs stay inside during the day and night. Then our other dogs each have their own kennels that are big enough to run around in. We crate them separately at night. We also have a big backyard that is fenced in, where they can roam around and play.
About: Hello! I currently work at a dog boarding and daycare center. I absolutely love taking care of the dogs daily. I’ve gained tons of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a busy boarding and daycare setting, providing attentive, compassionate care to ensure each dog felt safe and comfortable. As well as feeding, exercise, playtime, and basic health monitoring while supervising group interactions to encourage positive behavior and prevent conflicts. I’ve developed strong skills in handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities while maintaining a clean, organized, and stress-free environment 🐾🩷 Pet care is a central part of my daily schedule through my work at a dog boarding and daycare center. Each day involves hands-on responsibilities such as feeding, exercising, supervising playgroups, monitoring behavior and health, and maintaining clean and safe environments for the dogs in my care. Because my workday is structured around consistent routines and animal needs, I am accustomed to prioritizing timely care, attention, and safety. This experience allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my schedule while remaining reliable, attentive, and responsive to each dog’s individual needs. When walking pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and enjoyment at all times. I ensure each walk is suited to the dog’s age, energy level, and temperament, providing appropriate exercise while maintaining control and awareness of surroundings. I pay close attention to behavior, leash manners, and potential hazards, and I follow any specific instructions regarding routes, pacing, or handling. Throughout the walk, I offer positive reinforcement, patience, and attentive care to ensure each pet feels secure, stimulated, and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of pets basically my entire life, there wasn’t a time in my life where my family didn’t have a dog or cat. To me animals are just like family! I’m not currently working for anyone else, so all my time and attention will be going into your pets! At this point I my life, taking care of animals is just second nature to me. I believe that no two pets are the same, every animal has different needs and i strive to take care of each animal the way that works for them.
About: I love all the animals! I’ve had all size dogs from 10 pounds to 200 pounds! I currently have a St Bernard , Hound mix and Cattle Dog. Stubborn, playful or energetic, I love time with them all. I also have experience with cats, we currently have a Himalayan, a domestic long hair and a domestic short hair. And don’t forgot about the Guinea Pigs, Rats and Hamsters that need food and water and attention too! Farm animals? Love them too!! I currently have a Horse, Pony, goats, chickens and ducks I work part time and would enjoy breaking up my time waiting for my kids to finish activities by spending time with other fur babies I am comfortable with all size animals, with crating and not crating. I love to spend time with animals playing and going on walks... and a good little snuggle never hurts
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. We’ve always had up to 5 dogs at a time. I know the temperaments on dogs can change and it takes time for them to warm up to new people and surroundings. I’ve had experience with small, big, young and senior dogs! I have a car, I work 5 days a week, but I’m free before and after work, I love walking and getting out of the house! I take care of my dogs on a daily basis, all the essentials cares such as feeding, watering, bathing, taking them outside and sometimes walks.
About: I have always loved taking care of my rescued dogs. My first dog came to my family as a stray, when I was about 8 years old. My Mom told me “if he stays here through the night, you can keep him”. I sat up with him on the back porch and read to him all night! He stayed! Rescuing dogs brings me so much joy. My most recent rescue has been a challenge. Through that, I have also learned some training methods. I really enjoy that aspect and hope to learn even more dog training skills. I really enjoy walking dogs and even running with them. I find it healthy exercise for me and my dogs! I am available all day on Mondays. Wednesday and Friday after 2:00. and Thursday mornings until 12:00. I am also available most weekends. Please don’t hesitate to ask about other times, as sometimes, I can make arrangements. I walk both of my dogs on a leash. If need be, I am experienced in using a muzzle or gentle lead. I am most interested in walking your dog and drop in visits. I am happy to aid in training also.
About: I am a past 4-H member. I was a vet tech for 2 years and can give prescribed injections and medications. I have had animals my whole life from cats to cows and everything in between. Big or small I love them all. Available mornings and early afternoons during the weekdays flexible on the weekends. Let me show your animals love while your away from your home. Thanks I will come to your home and care for your pets like they are my own. I currently have 3 dogs, a barn full of goats and help my nieces with their 4-H projects.

About: I’ve been around all animals my whole life, My friends and family have always called me an animal whisperer because I’ve never met an animal that didn’t like me. I’m skilled in reading body language and respecting animals so they feel comfortable with me. I’m a customer service manager full time all week but will be available all weekend at all hours of the day and night so you can be free on weekends. I’m respectful of home I come to and if needed to come to mine I have a service animal that is good with all dogs but can be put away if needed.
“Brandon was amazing with our dog Dixie and made everything very easy. With this being our first time outside of family dog sitting he kept us in the loop with everything going on. We will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Amanda, Aaron, and their precious pups are wonderful! ???? Our 12 week old little girly has been socialized with all ages, shapes, and sizes of people, but not with other furry friends! Well, She had a daycare day today! She was nervous and shy at first, but then couldn’t care less about me when I came to pick her up!??♀️She loved playing and hanging out with new friends! Amanda updated me and sent me photos throughout the day! They have their house set up so they can separate the dogs if need be, and she took them out one at a time so as not to have them wrestling around in the wet mud, etc. I appreciate that! ☺️ I can tell Amanda and Aaron love dogs- we are so thankful! ?????”
About: I’m a recent college graduate who loves dogs even more than people! I recently lost my puppy due to bone cancer he developed early on in his life. I’ve been around big and small dogs almost my entire life and would love to get to interact with more puppies (I always call dogs puppies because I see all dogs as puppies lol). Since I was a kid I’ve always felt I’ve had a deep connection to dogs and have always been able to understand what they need and want. Whether the dogs need a bath or need to go on a walk every hour on the hour I’m up for the commitment. I’m not afraid of dogs of any size and I’m ready to give my love and compassion to as many dogs as I possibly can. I work from home so I can essentially work from home anywhere as long as there is wifi available. I would like to begin with 2 days a week and if I feel the schedule and chemistry is right I could increase the days. I’m very good with dogs and if they are already on a schedule, I am happy to keep them on it. I’m a very big cuddled especially with dogs so I would mostly sit on a couch or table and keep an eye on the pet while I work and if there’s a communicative sign that they need to go outside I will take them right out. I am not on a tight schedule so I can take your pet out as often as they need.
“Gina and her husband are very nice and accommodating. I did not worry about my little guy while I was at work. They have a beautiful clean home with a large yard. Their 2 ittle dogs are very friendly and play well. I highly recommend whether you are boarding or using as daycare. Thank you so much Gina.”
About: I've been an animal lover with pets my entire life. Recently, my husband and I lost our beloved dog, Sanders, of 15 years; and while our home is now empty from his loss, we find we have the space in our home and our hearts to care for other animals. Your pet will be treated as part of the family while in our care. I have experience as a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, but have also worked at various animal care facilities. Aside from spoiling our dear doggo boy Sanders, I've worked for an adoption program at a rescue organization for 6 years, as a Veterinary Technician for 4 and my husband has volunteered at the local dog shelter for the last 6 months. We are familiar with all breeds, sizes and ages; can administer medicine and follow strict feeding regimens, and understand the individual care needed for each animals differences. **I do require a meet and greet beforehand to make sure your pet will be comfortable while in our home, thank you for understanding!

Because of the extreme flexibility, I am able to play with, walk, run or whatever your pet prefers, as often as they need! Our home is on a 1 acre grassy plot, on a quiet street. There are only 2 other houses on our street, so there is zero traffic! It is a quiet, safe neighborhood and a child-free home. We will gather information from you ahead of time to make sure the house is safe from any allergens, hazards or other standards you may have.
“We were visiting from out of state and needed a sitter for our dog while we attended a wedding. We’re so grateful to have found Mo, who did a meet and greet with us the day before, was very accommodating and flexible with our schedule, and sent the best pics and videos while watching our boy!

“This was our first time using Rover and we came in with a last minute request for daycare. I requested the booking with Arya for his detailed profile explaining his process and the reasons behind them and his close proximity for potential future stays. We appreciated his last minute availability and he took good care of our senior pup and we would certainly use his service again.”

“Very enthusiastic about meeting our dog. Showed us the backyard and inside of the house. Sent several pictures and a few pictures. Yoshi was very happy looking and definitely enjoyed his stay. Will use again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog - sitting experience for our little Frenchie, Caillou! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in loving, attentive hands. We received thoughtful updates and photos; we could tell he was happy, comfortable, and truly cared for all weekend. Caillou came home relaxed, well cared for, and clearly adored - always the best sign. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was treated like part of the family, not just watched, but genuinely loved. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care and would absolutely trust them again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend!”

About: Hi there! I have been a pet sitter since I was 14, with multi-species experience including: dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, fish, turtles, and rabbits. I am a life long pet owner as well. I am in my 4th year of studying Animal Behavior, which feeds my interest in enrichment and proper welfare for all animals. I have experience with: • oral medication administration • pets with anxiety • grooming and nail trimming (*depends on your pet's temperament) • enrichment I am available for drop-in visits, walks, or pet-sittings. ***I do not offer boarding due to my own pet for the safety of all pets involved! I'm currently on break for the summer and have full availability during the week to stop in and take your pet for a walk or play session, or house sit for a longer period. I tend to stick to the instructions provided as to keep a normal routine for your pet. For a first time visit, I will get aquainted with your pet and offer a treat if allowed. I will send photos of your pet when I arrive and leave to offer some peace of mind. For walks, I will take your dog on a stroll around the neighborhood so they can let out some energy and use the restroom, followed by a treat after returning home. Drop-ins are similar where the pet will be taken outside for the restroom if needed and have some playtime to let out some energy. For pet sitting jobs, I tend to ask more questions about your pet to get a better understanding of their needs as well as anything else that will need taken care of such as collecting the mail, or watering plants. No matter the species, each visit will include playing, treats, and lots of pets! When entering or leaving your home, I ensure that the key is placed in the correct spot (to prevent lockouts!) after locking to keep your pet and home safe.

I’ve taken care of with all sorts of pets, have in home pet sitting experience, and have helped friends care for their pets over the years. Your angels will be in safe, caring hands. 😄 I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure.

I’ve worked with dogs that require extra attention, including those with medical needs or those who don’t do well around other animals. My goal is to build trust, provide dependable care, and keep your dog safe and happy while you’re away.

My routine varies daily and weekly. Weekends and evening are more open but, depending on the day and mommy schedule, I can sometimes be available during the day on week days. Overnight stays can be available for house-sitting if my 14 pound, male dog, Franklin, can accompany me; he is very friendly and attached to me.

I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home where dogs are treated like family. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and lots of affection. I follow each dog’s routine and make sure they feel happy and relaxed while they’re away from home.
About: With over 7 years of dedicated pet care experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs of every shape, size, and personality—from tiny lap dogs who think they own the couch to 100-pound “lap dogs” who also think they own the couch. Having two Dalmatians of my own (yes, just two—not quite 101, though some days it feels like it), I’ve learned that every dog has its quirks, needs, and ways of showing love. My job—and my passion—is to adapt to those needs so your pup feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in: • Puppy care & training basics – Patience is key when you’re working with a puppy. I’ve helped plenty of pups learn routines, practice good behavior, and channel their endless energy into positive play. (Think of me as the substitute teacher who actually keeps the classroom under control.) • Senior dog care – Older dogs hold a special place in my heart. I’m attentive to their comfort, health, and pace, making sure walks are slower, joints are supported, and they get the extra snuggles they deserve. • High-energy breeds – If there’s one thing two Dalmatians have taught me, it’s that dogs with lots of energy need structure, exercise, and mental stimulation. I’m no stranger to long walks, fetch marathons, and outsmarting clever pups who always seem to know where the treat jar is. • Behavioral awareness – I pay close attention to body language and signals. Whether a dog is shy, excitable, or somewhere in between, I know how to adjust my approach so they feel safe and respected. What really sets me apart is a mix of professionalism and genuine care. I take pride in being reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative. You can expect regular updates, photos, and even a few funny stories about what your pup is up to (spoiler alert: it usually involves something cute, goofy, or both). I treat every dog as if they were my own, which means your furry family member will always be in good hands. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and your dog a positive, stress-free experience. Whether it’s a puppy still figuring out the world, a senior who needs extra TLC, or a big goofball who just wants endless belly rubs, I’ll make sure your pup feels loved, cared for, and maybe even a little spoiled (don’t worry, I won’t tell). So if you’re looking for someone with experience, patience, and a true passion for dogs—plus the stamina to keep up with high-energy breeds—I’d love the chance to meet you and your four-legged best friend. Dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and caring for them is more than a hobby for me—it’s a lifestyle. I structure my daily and weekly routine around giving every dog in my care the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. With two energetic Dalmatians of my own, I’ve built a life that revolves around walks, playtime, mental stimulation, and plenty of belly rubs—so rest assured, your dog will never feel ignored or under-stimulated. My typical day is designed around dog happiness and safety. Mornings often start with brisk walks, breakfast, and some outdoor play to burn off energy, followed by structured training or enrichment activities. Afternoons might include more walks, play sessions, or cozy downtime for dogs who need a little nap or extra attention. Evenings are all about companionship, cuddles, and quality bonding time—because every dog deserves to feel loved, whether they’re a tiny puppy or a senior with a little extra wisdom (and maybe a little extra stubbornness). What sets my routine apart is that dogs are the priority. I schedule my days so I can fully commit to their needs: no rushing, no distractions, and no “oh, I have other plans” excuses. Whether it’s a walk, a game of fetch, socialization with other friendly pups, or just quiet companionship, every moment is focused on your dog’s comfort, happiness, and safety. And yes, this includes being flexible—if your dog prefers early walks, extra playtime, or a slow morning, I adjust my schedule accordingly. I also make sure to communicate with owners regularly, sending updates, photos, and little stories so you always know how your dog is doing. You’ll see exactly how much energy they’ve burned, how many tail wags they’ve given, and maybe even how many spots your Dalmatian-inspired sitter has discovered along the way. At the end of the day, my schedule isn’t just convenient—it’s designed to provide total peace of mind for pet parents and a safe, happy, and stimulating environment for dogs. If you’re looking for a sitter who treats your dog like family, dedicates their full time and energy to their well-being, and can handle a little chaos with a smile (thank you, Dalmatians) When you invite me into your home, I treat it with the same respect and care I give my own. I understand that your dog isn’t just a pet—they’re a beloved member of your family—and that your home is your sanctuary. My top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for both your dog and your household. I maintain a safe environment by carefully monitoring your dog at all times, following any special instructions you provide, and making sure your home is secure and organized. From managing access to rooms, ensuring doors and gates are properly closed, to keeping an eye on potential hazards, I take proactive steps to prevent accidents and provide peace of mind. Trust is the foundation of every house sitting arrangement. I am fully committed to respecting your property, adhering to your routines, and communicating regularly with updates, photos, and any important notes about your dog’s behavior or needs. You can feel confident that your dog is not only safe but receiving consistent care and attention while you’re away. Finally, I create a welcoming and calm environment for your dog. Whether it’s maintaining familiar routines, offering plenty of playtime, or providing quiet companionship, I ensure your pet feels secure and loved. My goal is to give you the confidence to enjoy your time away while knowing your dog is happy, healthy, and safe in a trusted home environment.
About: I've been around animals since I was very young and love all of them. They are part of my family and will be treated as such while they're with me. I enjoy going on walks and keeping pets happy and entertained. I believe it's very important to know your fur babies will be in great hands when boarding with me. My beloved dog Mario is no longer with me; he lived for 13 wonderful years and was the best dog anyone could ask for. I haven't been able to get another one since then. Watching and caring for other pets makes me happy and brings me joy. I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible throughout the week. Working from Home is a blessing and has given me the flexibility to care for others pets. I do not have a fenced yard, but I live in a development that gives me plenty of opportunities to go for walks. As long as they come with a leash we will be walking.
About: Must book at least a week in advanced…unless existing client. We have our own XL dog that would need to have meet and greet prior to booking. I grew up with dogs and cats, and have pet sat for the past 10 yrs. I have experience as a veterinary assistant in a professional setting for both dogs and cats. I enjoy spending time outside. I have cared for dogs ranging from 2-100 pounds. I love sending pictures throughout their stay, to keep you updated on how they are doing. We have a relatively quiet home, but we do have a child that is used to dogs. Vaccinated pets only! I have an unfenced yard, but ALWAYS take dogs out on a leash. The dog will have free range of the house unless they need to be crated (I do not have a crate for use..would have to be provided.) I am quick to respond to inquiries or any additional needs your dog may have, and can be contacted at any time! I am not taking new clients for one night stays. Minimum 2-3nights for new customers. All new customers are required to do a meet and greet prior to booking confirmation. I work full time, but only 3 days a week. Sometimes the days vary, but we have animals at home normally anyway, so they are always priority. I have plenty of time on my off days to help out! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I always take dogs out on a leash. I prefer if you bring your dogs bed, favorite toy or two, their food and bowls! Also any treats if they are allowed.
About: Been taking care of dogs all my life..I also have a furry friend of my own I enjoy spending time with them and walking them I am available in the morning and mid afternoon time I am available everyday of the week I can do drop in visits or just taking your pet for a walk I always spend time with my dog. I enjoy playing with him. I give him monthly flea treatments and also take him to the vet for his care.
About: I grew up around cats, dogs, horses, and bunnies and have taken care of my friends and family's pets on and off for the past few years. I also have 4 pets of my own that I love so much!! I am definitely an animal person and love playing and snuggling up with all types of animals! I have a very flexible part-time job and only work 8-10 hours a week so I am home almost all of the time! If I have something small come up in my schedule it is usually only a couple of hours so your pets will never go longer than 4-5 hours without me there! At my home, we have a fenced in yard to keep our pets safe and a separate area of the house away from my children where they are free to get on the couches and play. I treat every pet like my own and am very aware of animal behaviors - both good and bad - so I can appropriately handle situations where a pet may be feeling scared, uncomfortable, or excited and ready to play.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. We’ve always had up to 5 dogs at a time. I know the temperaments on dogs can change and it takes time for them to warm up to new people and surroundings. I’ve had experience with small, big, young and senior dogs! I have a car, I work 5 days a week, but I’m free before and after work, I love walking and getting out of the house! I take care of my dogs on a daily basis, all the essentials cares such as feeding, watering, bathing, taking them outside and sometimes walks.
About: I’ve been around all sorts of animals for my whole life and have a passion for caring for them. My family used to have horses, goats, birds, turtles, hamsters, squirrels, dogs, and cats growing up. My mom has been breeding German Shepards consistently for about 5 years now. I’ve helped her raise numerous litters and have spent countless hours playing with puppies. We also have 9 dogs total, 8 being German Shepards and one little dog, so I am more than comfortable taking care of dogs and happy to do so. If I were to stay over to watch your animals I could provide care for them up until 9 in the morning and when I return home from work at around 3:30. That would be Monday through Friday and then I have complete availability on the weekends. A few of our dogs stay inside during the day and night. Then our other dogs each have their own kennels that are big enough to run around in. We crate them separately at night. We also have a big backyard that is fenced in, where they can roam around and play.
About: I have 5 years of veterinary medicine experience and have fallen in love with taking care of pets! This side of animal caretaking removes the medical aspect and allows the animal industry to be a little more fun. I have wide open availability! I am currently self employed and make my own schedule so I can fit almost anything into my week ahead. The knowledge for safety is extremely important when taking care of someone else’s pet. I am able to read situations and be able to tell what and when a pet needs something. Reading a pet’s body language is super important and goes along with everyone’s safety.
About: Hello! My name is Angela :) I love animals and taking care of them. I can be shy with people but with your fur babies i’m an open book:) I’ve had dogs most of my life and just pets in general. I have taken care of sick and senior animals as well. Currently no dogs or cats live in my home besides my lovely guinea pig max. I’m available any day with times in the early mornings and late nights and on the weekends I am very flexible! I’d love to take care of your dog(s) and/or kitties and be a part of their daily routine. Hopefully I can make their day and mine! If you have any questions or concerns you can contact me on my number or on the app. I hope you have a nice day/evening! (Background check is passed) I can visit your pet before and after my work schedule. I am also very flexible on the weekends or if you have any last minute changes. I have a guinea pig named max that I take care of every day! I make sure to greet animals with a smile on my face and a very calm manner. It can be scary for some pets to see a new face in the house when the owners are gone but I treat them just as well and make sure they are taken good care of before you come back :) I take safety processions and make sure they are always let outside if there is a fence or leash at the house and they are fed according to directions if needed.

“Brandon is such a cool person and I will definitely be a regular customer of his. He went the extra mile to help me feel confident about leaving my fur baby with him (the first time I’ve ever left my dog alone without me for an overnight stay somewhere). He has a very nice backyard area for the dogs and was excellent with communication. I felt very at ease, especially with the photo updates! Thank you, Brandon!”
“Loved booking with Brittni, very easy process. She was available any time I had a question or just wanted to check in on Max. He loved it there snd I’m happy I found someone that he is comfortable with so that I don’t have to be anxious while away.”
“Jennifer is top notch! My dogs were picked up happy and healthy! She took them on several walks and kept us updated with pictures. She is definitely dependable and trustworthy and I wouldn't hesitate to leave them there again! Thanks Jennifer!”
“Karma was amazing! I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog. She updated us on our dogs status and handled him being scared of other dogs and a new environment. She demonstrated great knowledge of all breeds and their quirky behavior! If your looking for someone who knows how to handle all dogs, Karma is your person.”
“My puppies had a wonderful time during their stay with Gina as was evidenced by the pictures and videos she sent 😊. They were well taken care of AND loved which means the world to me.”
“Ronda is an amazing dog sitter!! She was friendly with us as well as the dog. I felt confident after the play meet because she let our good dog kairi run around in every room and outside. The house was very clean, freshly scented and safe for dogs. We were sent pictures everyday without asking or bothering her. We had no complaints for a whole 9 days on vacation to California. We will always contact her for future dog sitting no matter the duration. We trust her and she’s a good, nice, modern, casual, and sweet person. Easy to talk with and recommend her for sure upon being strangers. Ronda watched our pitbull with confidence with all the true information about Kairi. It worked out. Thank you so much!!”
“Arya is fantastic with our dog Max, and we couldn't be happier with the care he receives. He sends frequent videos and updates throughout the day, so we always know exactly what Max is up to and can see how happy he is. Max gets walked regularly, plenty of personal one-on-one playtime, and time to socialize with other dogs in a spacious area where they can really run and play. What really stands out is how much Max loves going there. He willingly goes with Arya every time and clearly enjoys himself the whole time he's there. It's such a relief to have a sitter we trust completely. Highly recommend Arya to anyone looking for a caring, attentive dog sitter!”
“Alayna was super kind and responsive. Sent lots of pictures of my pup while I was gone! My dog just ran right into her house when I dropped her off, so I knew it was going to go well. I plan to utilize her services in the future!”
“Maya is an awesome nanny for our kitty. While we were traveling to Yellowstone National Park, Maya kindly helped take care of our little girl—our beloved cat, Meme. She kept us updated with photos and stories of Meme’s daily activities. As a talented writer, Maya beautifully captured their moments together with vivid and heartwarming descriptions. Meme quickly warmed up to Maya and settled in with ease. She’s been eating well—so well, in fact, that she’s noticeably heavier than before! We’re truly grateful for the time and care that Maya and her husband devoted to looking after her. Thanks to their support, we were able to enjoy our trip with complete peace of mind.”
“Miko had a great time with Desia. She was able to watch him last minute while we went to see family out of town. We received many pictures and videos with updates on our sweet baby which made us not stress as much about leaving him.”
About: Growing up I always had dogs. They were always considered another member of our family. We always trained our own puppies. I've taken care of family members dogs before and puppy sitted in the past. I am a dog mom of two dogs currently. I love dogs and their unique personalities. I love to be outdoors so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I'm available evenings during the week and all day on Friday through Sunday. But im always flexible so just let me know what you need and we can work things out to fit your pets needs. Making them feel at home and loved will be my number one priority. I have a fenced in yard and 2 fur babies that will keep your dogs company. Or I can easily crate your dog if needed or I can separate them from my fur babies in another fenced in area. Whatever you prefer I can arrange.
“Ambri had a wonderful time staying with Jeanne. The pictures that she (Jeanne) sent me looked as if Ambri was having a better time on vacation than I was. It was very good to get them as I was hoping my little pup-dog was not sad and missing us. She is a very much a people dog, so Jeanne was able to be her "people" for a week. I know she will be excited to return for another vacation in the future.”
