“Gabriel was great in taking extra steps to care for Coco while I was out of the country. He sent pictures and updates that put me at ease! He has a wonderful home and yard that my dog enjoyed. I definitely would recommend him for your animals stay. I knew Coco was safe.”
“John and his wife Kelly took awesome care of our senior pup. They were fast with communication, gave her meds, and were very loving towards our girl. We will use them again!”
“Very nice in person. Very responsive when texting. Also has a big fenced in back yard. She took very good care of my dog. I definitely recommend and will be using her again in the future.”
“Luna had a great time with Christina. Receiving the photos of Luna with a smile on her face was so reassuring to us while we were away on vacation. Luna had a wonderful time with Christina's children and their dog Rylee. Christina did a wonderful job. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Luna. I can tell she misses your family.”
“My Crunch loves staying at Lisa’s. He pulled me by his leash to her door his second time going over. He has some separation anxiety and a complex with larger dogs so her home is perfect to keep him happy while we’re away 😊”
“First time leaving my dog Danny with Susan and she was a great dog sitter during my weeklong trip. Great communication and very responsive. Would definitely have her board my dog again.”
“Sent updates while my pup stayed! She takes time to make a bond with each pup she watches! She takes them for walks and plays with them in the backyard! Great sitter!”
“Misty did a wonderful job. This was the first time we left Daxter with a stranger and Misty shared photos to let us know how he was doing so we would not worry. We would use her again.”
“Michael and Anne are great! They’ve watched my dog three times now. The second time we went there, my dog DRAGGED me to their front porch as soon as sure realized where we were, so I know she likes it!”
“Brendan and his family took great care of my 3yr old Lab - Indy. Clear communication, quick responses, updates with pictures, easy check-in and check-out. Not to mention, his little pup Ollie. Indy had a good time playing with and looked relaxed throughout the stay. Highly recommended and will certainly come back. Thanks Brendan! 😊”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for pets of all personalities, ages, and needs. As a proud Pomsky parent myself, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I provide patient, loving, and dependable care while treating every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pup needs playtime, walks, extra cuddles, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. I’m also comfortable with senior pets and pets who need a little extra patience and reassurance. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and allows me to be home throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m also a mom of two girls who are both in school (elementary and middle school), so my daytime schedule is fairly consistent. I occasionally work evenings outside of the home, but I plan my schedule around my pet-sitting commitments and make sure every pet gets the care, attention, and routine they need. Since I have a pup of my own I’m already used to keeping a consistent routine and making time for plenty of exercise, play, and cuddles! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a privacy fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some fresh air, playtime, and exercise. I provide a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care I give my own pup!
“This was Rowan’s second time staying with Melissa. She takes great care of him. He loves running in their yard and playing with their dogs. She keeps me updated on how he’s doing.”
“Fantastic boarding experience! My dog has separation anxiety and loved it there. He had a ton of fun playing with the other dogs and running around the backyard.”
“Bill and Haley are more than I could ask for in dog sitters… once after my fight got delayed, they were willing to bring my dog Sadie out to the car at 1 am, so I wouldn’t have to drive back the next morning. They go above and beyond in attention, care and kindness. I absolutely highly recommend their services!”
“Elisheba and her family took Ember in and were very kind. Thank you for the hospitality and the great care at a last minute notice. Ember loved the yard and enjoyed having extra people to play with her, it takes a village!”
“Janice is super friendly and very thorough. We really enjoyed the photos and updates she sent us over the weekend. Janice is good with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Our dog came home happy and we know she was in good hands with Janice and her family! We work forward to working with Janice again soon!”
“We are so happy that our goldendoodle had a loving family to stay with while we were away. We received regular updates with pictures to show us how well he was doing. This was our 2nd time with this family, and our dog was so excited to return. Great peace of mind to have him so well-cared for!”
“Katie was awesome with our dog Rigby! She sent lots of pictures and we could tell she’d made sure Rigby felt right at home. Her communication was proactive and constant, her home was clean and dog-friendly, and I’d definitely recommend her services / use her again. Thanks, Katie!!”
“Patricia is an extraordinary dog sitter! From the moment we met her to drop off Novak, she was extremely friendly and attentive, and we could tell that we’d made the right choice for his care. She sent many photos and videos of Novak having a great time with her sweet dogs and texted updates as well. When it was time for Novak to go, she sent him off with a toy as well! If in this area again, we’d definitely board Novak with Patricia!”

“Kandice did an amazing job checking in on our cat, ensuring that he had food and water and giving him company while we are gone. She made sure to do all the things we asked during the visit and we’d gladly reach out to her for her again in the future!”
About: I've recently come to love cats, as one joined our family through our backyard. I love to spend time with other cats as well. Through this I know how to care for cats and can provide the care that each need.
“Kathryn was a great sitter for our 2 cats! One of our cats has to take daily medication and she administered it without a flaw! Kept us constantly updated on our two cats! Would definitely book her again!”
“Alexa was truly a cat whisperer with my two cats. She approached them on their terms (because cats don’t always warm up immediately!!) and I was rewarded with many pictures and videos of both my cats enjoying her company. She made sure to play and snuggle the cats, giving them fulfilling visits alongside the basic food/litter necessities. I also appreciated that she paid careful attention to the litter habits. I have two boys, and those are known to get urinary problems as they are older. She did a wonderful job communicating her visits and sent plenty of pictures and videos so I could get my cat fix from afar! Alexa also proved flexible when my flight was almost cancelled, confirming that she would be available to continue checking in on them. I’ll definitely book with her again!!”
“Jenna did a wonderful job caring for our 5 animals! Jenna came twice to meet each animal and go through the process of caring before final booking. She provided updates and photos throughout the sitting sessions and we came back to happy tails! Thank you Jenna 😊”
“Kelsey is our go to. So reliable and takes time to not only care for our kitties but love on them as well! We have one that is extremely shy and Kelsey won her over quickly. Highly recommend.”
“I liked Chloe the minute I met her. She came over for a pre visit to meet my cats and learn about their routine. Ava and Tucker warmed up to her right away and I knew they would be in good hands. Chloe arrived on schedule for four mornings and five evenings to feed, play with and attend the litter box. When I arrived home from my trip, the house was in order, and everything looked as I left it. I’ll definitely request Chloe again. 🏠😸👍🏻👍🏻”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs, senior dogs, shy dogs, and puppies, and I always adjust the walk or visit to what your dog needs most. Safety is extremely important to me, so I pay close attention to leash handling, surroundings, and your dog’s comfort at all times. I work from home and can be available at anytime to take care of your furry animal. I can also be available during the evenings to make your life easier after a busy day stuck in traffic! I have a large backyard that your furry animal can run around in to keep them safe. Sounds like one happy and exhausted pup to me!
“Hannah was phenomenal! I have a relatively high needs cat and needed a last minute sitter after previous plans had fallen through. She was kind enough to make time and meet us the next day, and did an excellent job taking care of Hazel while I was gone. Hannah was very responsive and clearly enjoys the company of animals which put me at ease ❤️”
About: I have experience administering medication, following specific directions, and giving great scratches! I've been taking care of cats since a young age, and I'm able to get along with cats of all personalities.

I currently work 8am-5pm, but can be flexible when needed. I'm off every weekend. I can work my schedule around what is needed and am willing. I don't normally have things scheduled after work other than taking my pups for a walk. I have three friendly and energetic pups that can keep yours company!

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
“1st time having daycare with Whitley and I couldn’t be happier or more comfortable with my girls enjoying their day. Great photos and videos shared through the day and they both slept all the way home in the car- perfect!”
About: I’ve been involved with dog rescue for many years. I worked with virtually every type of dog there is. From shy, timid to very high energy. I’ve had dogs that had aggression issues. I worked with dogs on leash training, housebreaking, and socialization. I am retired. I have nothing but time on my hands! I volunteer Thursday mornings at an equine therapy barn. But I will still have time to take care of animals on Thursdays. I am open to caring for dogs in my home. But! They have to be dog and cat friendly. I would prefer not to have younger dogs, only because my dogs are older and don’t like young dogs, jumping all over them. My dogs are very dog friendly though. My cats are very dog friendly. In fact, they prefer dogs over our cats!
“Michael was great! He asked questions to know Rosie better. He kept in touch with us before her daycare date. During her stay he kept us up to date & sent pictures. We would definitely recommend them & would schedule with them again if we visit the area. It was a perfect situation for our Rosie! Thanks, Michael!”
About: Hi! I’m Carley, and I have had dogs my entire life—from Scotties and Westies to Golden Retrievers and, of course, the best kind of dogs…mutts! I work full-time from home, which means your dog will have plenty of company and won’t be left alone for long periods. My home has a large, fully fenced privacy yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and burn off energy throughout the day. I have experience with both dog sitting and house sitting, but I prefer boarding dogs in my home because I can provide more supervision and keep a close eye on everyone. I also have one friendly dog who enjoy having canine visitors. As I often watch my sister’s dogs and have had 6 dogs at once that I looked after. I’ll admit it—I can be a little overprotective when it comes to my own dog, and I’ll treat yours with that same level of care. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy, and being treated like part of the family.
“David was great with Myles. He is already going to potty outside after just a week of training with David. I can already see a difference with his behavior and his separation anxiety and also the way he interacts with other dogs. His personality is starting to shine now. I think after a few more weeks of training Myles is going to be in great shape.”
“What a delight! Senator had a wonderful time with Mindy and canine babies. Mindy was so kind and ready to spend time with him. He was exhausted afterward, but….that’s a compliment. Hope to visit again soon.”
About: I've had at least two dogs my entire life. I've cared for puppies through adult dogs. I have even cared for some with special needs. When your dog stays with me, you also get my whole family to care for them. I'm a stay at home mom and I have plenty of time to care for your baby. I can be with your dog at all times. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs who would love to play and snuggle. I will also walk your dog if you'd like.
About: My family loves animals and we would love to take in your pet for the day! We have a dog park and love to go on walks during the evening. Cats are also welcome as we love to snuggle them ❤️. Your pets will be safe and loved in our care and I am able to communicate with you over phone as much as you need during their stay. We currently just moved from an apartment to a townhome so we have a bit more space now for the animals to lounge around and play! I’m a full time at home mom! Taking care of animals makes me so happy. I always hoped to go into Veterinary medicine one day. Right now I have all the free time in the world to take care of your pets when needed ❤️ Pets will be able to run and play in our home. Feeding will depend on how often you need me to feed. Potty breaks often. Dog park on days with nice weather or walks through the trails in our neighborhood!
“Alij is such a sweet and caring sitter. She kept me updated and made me feel comfortable while I was away from my dogs. I’m so grateful for the great care she gave them, and I’ll definitely be booking her again.”
About: I’ve grown up on farms with many animals to include dogs and have raised them since I was young. Can’t wait to introduce myself to your fur baby’s and give them the love that they show us every day 😄 I’m currently in between jobs so my hours are flexible for your needs, always up for the exercise for a run or walk with your animals 😁 Currently only have a cat in a studio apartment so no space for a dog. My dog is back home in Ohio with my parents as I have no space here for him right now.
About: I love dogs and usually bond quickly. I have experience with special diet dogs, elderly dogs, etc. I am like a dog chaplain. I will care for your dog (and home if needed) as I do my own. I work in an industry that requires back ground checks. I have cared for since childhood: German Shepherds, Rabbits, Chows, Rottweiler, Labs, Shih Tzu, Schnauzers, Terriers, rabbits, fish, etc. I'm available at various times with notice. If I am requested for in home care I will care for your home as my own. I look forward to supporting you in any way that I can. Blessings. I’m home all day a few days per week. However, I can do drop ins and house sitting daily. Morning, Afternoon and Evening walks are provided when in boarding or daycare. Weekend stays include park time and long walks. I have a sweet smaller dog whom is very loving and after getting to know your dog will treat them like a sibbling. It is important that your dog be okay with being crated only at night or if I need to run a close errand. Otherwise dogs welcome on couch etc.
“excellent caregiver, she cares for the pets, she has her house equipped so that our pets have a great time. I recommend it. Thank you very much for taking care of Wyatt. He always kept me informed about my pet and how well he was having a good time. thanks kimberly”
About: Hi my name is Patrice. I'm a veterinary technician who loves being with animals even outside of my normal work day. If I could I would adopt a million pets but unfortunately that's not an option. I take pride in being able to help care for pets outside of my own. There's nothing more fulfilling than being able to play with fur babies when the owners cannot do so because of work. I am able to provide exercise time, medication administration, ear cleaning, and basic grooming. If you are in need of any of the above services feel free to reach out to me. I would love to get to know you and your fur babies and develop a life long bond. Pet care fits into my daily routine perfectly. I'm always with pets even in my dreams. Rather I am walking pets or meeting up for grooming appointments, I'm always with pets. I get a background of the pets home life and mimic that while they are with me. Routine works best with most pets. When you switch up what they are used to they do not do well.
“Pam has been such a blessing for our family! She is highly responsive and we never worry one second while they are in her care! Our dogs ears perk up when we say “Do you want to go see Ms. Pam?” Having her in our community is a real asset!”

I will diligently follow your instructions and adapt my care to best fit your pets personality. I cannot tell you how much I love animals, and will shower your pet with all the snuggles and playtime that they desire! I work part time, so I am home a lot for the time being and can dedicate much of my time to your pet. I’d love to take them out so they can have plenty of exercise. I always makes sure that a new pet has a space of their own where they have everything they may need, including privacy. I understand that some pets need time to themselves when nervous about being away from their owners. I also understand that some might need extra love and care, so I’m more than happy to let them follow me throughout the home. To ensure their safety, we keep a tidy home, with food put away in secure locations. They will be kept on their leashes in the event that we need to leave the house.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have a cat and a 3 year old pit/cattle dog mix. I have owned multiple dogs over the years, including reactive dogs, which gave me hands on experience with different personalities, behaviors, and needs. I worked closely with a professional trainer in the past and gained a lot of confidence in handling and understanding dogs of all kinds. Because my entire family has dogs, I’m constantly around animals and genuinely love spending time caring for them. I understand that every pet is different and that some are energetic and social, while others need patience, structure, and a calm approach. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just having a comforting presence around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away!

About: I absolutely adore animals and have never lived a life without them. I adopted my very own sweet dog Sage at 18 (as soon as I was old enough) and she has been the light of my life. She has taught me a lot of patience and responsibility at a young age. She is definitely a wild girl but I wouldn’t trade her for the world! Since I have a dog I am pretty used to all of the craziness that comes with them like leash pulling, weird eating habits, mess, and of course slobber! I currently nanny from 9:00-5:00 Tuesday through Thursday so I am try to find something to fill that Friday-Monday gap! As I spend those days walking and caring for my own pup I figured I might as well look to see if I can help others! I am a very alert person when it comes to my dog as she is very shy and scared around certain things so I would have course be the same with anyone else’s dog! I would never want to put someone else’s baby in harms way so I am very cautious.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for pets of all personalities, ages, and needs. As a proud Pomsky parent myself, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I provide patient, loving, and dependable care while treating every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pup needs playtime, walks, extra cuddles, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. I’m also comfortable with senior pets and pets who need a little extra patience and reassurance. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and allows me to be home throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m also a mom of two girls who are both in school (elementary and middle school), so my daytime schedule is fairly consistent. I occasionally work evenings outside of the home, but I plan my schedule around my pet-sitting commitments and make sure every pet gets the care, attention, and routine they need. Since I have a pup of my own I’m already used to keeping a consistent routine and making time for plenty of exercise, play, and cuddles! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a privacy fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some fresh air, playtime, and exercise. I provide a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care I give my own pup!
