“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING experience!!!! Tara & Peter sent pictures the entire weekend along with updates on our dog. Their fence in back yard was perfect for our energetic husky to get lots of energy out. We picked her up on Sunday and she was exhausted! We will definitely book every time with Tara & Peter!!!!”

“This was the first time I have ever left my dogs anywhere while we traveled. (2 King Charles cavaliers). I cannot say enough about how wonderful Susan and Kenny took care of my boys. I received pictures and updates daily…my dogs looked happy and comfortable in all of them (especially the ones sound asleep with Kenny in his chair). Scout and Max have definitely found a home away from home. Thank you Susan and Kenny! ?❤️?”

“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”
“We had never left Kona overnight before...but she was so comfortable with Susan! And, Susan is an amazing photographer, as well. I absolutely loved getting all the photos! Thank you, Susan, for loving our Kona so much!”
About: I’m a champion for human & pets alike. Familial animals have been apart of my life since I was a young child and the subsequent years into my adulthood. I’ve assisted in the basic obedience training of 10+ dogs both in youth & elder-hood; temporarily lived with anxious pups whilst their parents traveled out of state; & I’ve formed genuine bonds with clients’ pets that I’ve routinely walked and tended to for years now. I’ve departed from traditional 9 to 5 employment to commit myself full-time towards the enriching of relations between all living beings, in particular, one Pet/Parent client at a time! Pet caregiving, dog handling & house sitting are my full-time job! Which fortunately means I’ve got quite a fluid weekly schedule capable of integrating a broad range of client scenarios. Mondays & Tuesdays between 9am and 9pm are my most flexible hours — services needed Wednesday thru Friday can be readily accommodated during our initial consultation. For clients interested in Boarding services - my home is a decently sized, fully furnished apartment with climate control functionality. During their stay with me your pets are welcome to languor however they normally would at home. I strive to make the stay as comfortable as possible for your pets whilst honoring whatever caregiving conditions/training you may request. If house-sitting your home is preferred, you can feel confident that your residence & loved-ones will be tended to with exemplary care & that upon your return home, it will be in the exact same or better condition than when you’d left it!
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was a child, and they have always been a very special part of my life. Back home in Thailand, I have four dogs who are truly part of my family. I cared for them from when they were little puppies through their senior years before I moved to the U.S. to study.🫶🏻 . I usually start my day around 7:30 AM, and one of the first things I’ll do is take your pup outside for a morning walk. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I have class for about three hours from 9am -12pm. After class, I’m available until around 4:00 PM, when I leave for my part-time job and get home around 8pm. On Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, I go to work from 11-2pm & 4:30-8pm. I do get a break from 2:30-4, so I’ll be able to come let your pup out for a potty break on those days & I’ll also be able to walk and play if weather permits. I’m off on Saturday & sundays 🏡 My Home & Safety I have a spacious home with a large, fully fenced yard, giving your pup plenty of room to play, explore, and enjoy time outside safely. My neighborhood is peaceful and dog-friendly, with many families, children, and dogs around, making it a great environment for walks and outdoor time. Your dog’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I want every pup staying with me to feel safe, relaxed, and loved — just like they’re at home. 🐶❤️ To keep my home and neighborhood safe and comfortable for everyone, I currently accept dogs who are: 💉 Up to date on vaccinations 🏠 House-trained 🐾 Spayed or neutered 🚨 Please let me know if your dog has any allergies, health concerns, or special needs I should know about. 🐶🤎
“Flora was amazing as always with our fur baby! She gave her plenty of walks, even in the cold and snow, and welcomed Luna as a part of her family for the week they spent together. 10/10, we will definitely be asking Flora to watch her again!!”
“Austin is a great, reliable source for your dog sitting needs! We left our dog Boone in Austin’s care last week and we received daily updates and pictures from Austin, keeping us fully comfortable and happy with the experience! Highly recommend Austin and we will for sure be repeat customers.”
“Colleen was great, and accommodating of a last minute request for sitting. I received daily updates with photos, and my dog seemed very happy. No issues noted, and will definitely use her again - on a monthly basis if possible!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to Baker, our 5-year-old adopted coonhound. He’s such a big part of my life that he even inspired me to write and publish a children’s book about him, Learning to Count with Baker the Dog! Having Baker has given me years of firsthand experience with the responsibility, attention, patience, and love that go into caring for a dog. My husband and I also regularly help care for our sister-in-law’s two dogs when she’s away, sometimes having them stay with us for several days at a time. We also love helping our friends by watching their dogs in our home when they need a sitter. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog is staying with me, needs a walk, or just needs some extra attention and company, I’ll treat them with the same care and affection I give Baker. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or other instructions you provide. I also understand that every dog has their own personality, and I’ll take the time to learn what makes yours feel comfortable and happy. You can expect dependable care, great communication, plenty of updates and photos, and lots of attention for your pup. I’d love to meet you and your dog and help give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work fully remote from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day and makes pet care fit very naturally into my routine. I’m able to be present for regular walks, potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day rather than leaving a dog alone for long stretches. Because my schedule is flexible, I can also adjust around each dog’s normal routine and specific needs. Whether your pup is staying with me, needs a daytime visit, or just benefits from some extra company and attention, I’m able to make their care a consistent part of my day. When caring for pets in my home, I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family. Since I work remotely, I’m able to be home with them throughout much of the day for regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also make sure to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and will learn about their personality, preferences, and any special instructions before their stay. Because we have our own dog, Baker, I prefer to do a meet-and-greet before boarding whenever possible so we can make sure the dogs are comfortable together. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their home and their pet’s established routine. I’ll follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any other care needs, while making sure their pet receives plenty of attention and companionship. For either type of care, communication is very important to me. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Bri I wanna thank you so much for your boarding service! You are God sent. You loved on my baby, kept me informed, sent pictures and treated him like your own. You took great care of my Brawny! I am looking forward to booking with you again! I appreciate you!!!”

“As always, Courtney took wonderful care of our kitties (and now fish, too!) while we were on vacation - she’s the absolute best! Thanks a million again, Courtney!!! ❤️😊❤️”
About: I’ve been around and caring for cats since 2018 and have always loved their unique personalities and quirks. I recently welcomed two cats of my own this year, giving me even more hands-on experience with feeding, playtime, litter box care, enrichment, and helping cats feel comfortable in a new environment. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to give each cat the care and attention they need while you’re away!
“Anna took great care of my pack on short notice. I was worried as I have never used a dog sitter but my pups loved meeting her which eased my mind. I will definitely rebook with Anna again.”
“Alexis is clearly an animal lover! She knew just how to make my kitty Koko feel loved and well taken care of. She sent me lots of updates and even took pictures of our automatic feeder so I wouldn’t worry about it not working while we were away. If you want excellent service and great communication I would highly recommend Alexis! Koko agrees :))”
“Kim was wonderful! Very kind and attentive at the meet and greet--I forgot to send her my little manual on my cat, but she didn't need it because she had taken notes. Her check-ins were consistent and timely, and she was very sweet and gentle with my sometimes tricky and bitey cat.”
“Madison was amazing! She watched my cat and was very communicative the entire time. She made sure to send pictures and made sure we were aware of how my cat, Mishti was doing. I’ll definitely book with Madison again for future trips!”
“Isabella was fantastic taking care of our pets. Despite some challenges from one of our dogs, she was able to keep them happy and healthy throughtout our trip. She kept us well informed of issues when they arose. Overall, when we returned home it was like we never left!”
“Randy was terrific! He was very responsive, dependable and took great care of our two cats. He played with them, fed them and cleaned their litter box. He went above and beyond!”
“Susan is amazing!!! She watched my cat for two weeks while we were away and it is wonderful to not worry about your pet. She always goes above and beyond.”
“Molly took great cat of my 3 cats! She has a background in pet health care & is skilled in giving medications, as well as pet behavior & health issues, which put me at ease in leaving them for a few days. She is very reliable & great in communicating & sending updates. The cats were well taken care of while we were gone. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing with my two kitties- even the one I though for sure would not come out during her visits did! I always received a nice update on what the cats were up to that day and some cute photos. Rachel truly goes above and beyond. Could not be happier to have had her watch my babies ?⬛?”
“Jordan was a great sitter for our cat (and house). She was a good communicator, sent regular photos of the cat, and left the house clean and tidy. I would definitely hire her again!”
About: I love animals but most of dogs because they keep me in a good mood. I make sure that dogs eat , get the right exercise, and got to the bathroom on time. I also own a dog of my own back my hometown. And we have a great relationship! I know what she wants just by her body language and her speaking to me lol kind of cute. Dogs are like humans. I love to play with dogs. Dogs give me a since of joy and calmness because I know when they are taken care of they trust me. I make sure that dogs retrieve the right nutrients that they will need as requested by the dogs owner. Dogs are my best friends. Safe!
About: While the bulk of my pet care experience has been with dogs, I am excited to work with cats as well. I take great pride in providing exceptional care for cats, ensuring they feel comfortable and engaged while their owners are away. I’m experienced in changing litter boxes and can administer oral medication when needed, always prioritizing the well-being of your feline friend. I understand that cats thrive on mental stimulation, so I’m happy to provide entertainment through playtime, interactive toys, and gentle companionship to keep them happy and active. Your cat will receive the attention and love they deserve in a safe and nurturing environment.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Pepper Pike
“Susan is wonderful! My puppy had an amazing day with such personal attention. She updated me all throughout the day and I loved it! Her dog Frank is amazing too.”
“Austin watched Bentley on such short notice while we were in town for a short visit and it was the best decision of the weekend! He took such great care of our big dog and had our minds at ease the whole day. Sent plenty of updates and photos. I highly recommend Austin to anyone in need of doggy day care. Thank you again!”
“Pogo had his very first day at daycare with Flora, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! He seemed so at home there as he dove right into the fun activities Flora had planned. It was such a joy to see him having an amazing time! The warm welcome we received was simply amazing. Flora really took the time to understand Pogo’s schedule, which made everything go so smoothly. Knowing he was in such great hands was incredibly reassuring. Flora was just a quick call or text away if we had any questions. As a sweet touch, she left us a handwritten note about Pogo’s day with her, which really put our minds at ease and showed us how much fun he had and the care she took of him. We can’t wait to book with Flora again in the future!”
“Daniel was fantastic!! Very kind and welcoming. He eased my worries of leaving my dog as soon as I met him. I can’t thank him enough for today. He really helped me out by watching my dog at the last minute. My dog loved him!! I don’t think he wanted to leave. Daniel sent me pictures of my dog having a great time at his house. Those pictures are priceless. My dog is smiling in them😊 I will definitely be using Daniel in the future. Thank you again Daniel. It was very nice meeting you!!”
About: Hi there! My name is Jada. I am 26 years old and i am a graduate from Horizon Science Academy High! All my life i’ve LOVED dogs. I’ve had different dogs growing up. When i was growing up, i found myself spending more time with my dogs than actual people. I would watch movies with them and play with them! They made me feel safe and warm! Dogs are way better than humans in my opinion! I can make conversations with them, make them feel loved, and most importantly, make sure they’re cared for! I believe that everyone needs a companion/bff, even animals! That’s where i come in! Allow me to care and love for your dog as i would for my own! We will for sure make memories! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have tons of time to play with your pups! I always make sure to give all of my attention to the pups! I do not have a secluded yard, however I do have open field areas for your pups to run around in! There are tons of other dogs in my complex that are very loving and friendly!
“We'd highly recommend Angie as a sitter! Our dog has pretty bad separation anxiety, and Angie made sure she felt comfortable while in her care. She's very attentive and provides lots of updates and pictures!”
About: I've owned and loved dogs all my life. I hate to leave my dogs at a kennel and think home dog sitting is a much better option. My goal is to make sure dogs don't feel abandoned when left temporarily, but rather give them the experience of a joyful vacation with "Grandpa Ron". I've almost never found a dog who didn't like me and have never found one I didn't like. I'm a widow, retired and living alone. I have plenty of time to devote to dogs who are left in my care. I schedule my own travel and outside activities so they are not at the same time when I am available for pet sitting. I limit the number of dogs I watch so that I can give full attention to each one. I have a large back yard, fully fenced, with plenty of squirrels for your furry friend to chase. I also give your dog full run of my house and he is allowed on my furniture and beds. I try to make myself available on holidays and popular travel times. If requested I offer pickup and delivery of your pet from your home.
“Samantha is awesome! We are preparing for a long vacation so we wanted our puppy to get to know Samantha a long stay. Onyx came home very tired from playing! Thanks Samantha!”
“Al and Stacy were very responsive and sent lots of videos and pictures throughout the day. I would happily book them for doggy daycare again in the future should I need to!”
“Brittany has been great with my 3 month old puppy. Based on how excited he gets to see her makes me comfortable and happy he enjoys his stays with her. Highly recommend!”
“We could not have ask for a more perfect experience with Susan. We wanted to go and enjoy Cleveland for the day and not have to worry about our dogs. She and her husband welcomed them into their home and we were able to have a worry free and fun day. When we picked them up they were tired and happy. What more could you ask for! We would highly recommend!!”
“Fist time using Rover! 👍👍 first time meeting Lisa and Deisel 👍👍very last minute and Lisa welcomed us and made sure everyone was comfortable before I left. Everyone had a great day! Thank you Lisa!”
“Kyle was amazing with our 10 month old Bernese! He is extremely patient and understanding, especially when it comes to a high energy puppy! He sends multiple updates throughout the day to make sure you know your pup is being well taken care of :) We will definitely continue to use Kyle for daycare and other puppy needs, he treats Bogey so well and is very in tune with what he may need throughout the day ◡̈”
About: I have a variety of pet experience. Most notably with dogs, I have fostered over 13 dogs in the last several years through Kane's Mission. I am sure to give your dog personalized attention and love and care they deserve! We live in a great walkable community in Shaker Heights. We are happy to take your dog on walks and visits to the park, so they can have a nice vacation too! I can currently adapt to most pet care schedules. I have a flexible schedule from home, and I am here to offer a seamless transition. I have fenced in yard with room to romp around, and I am located in a great walking community with a park nearby. I can also come to you reliably to let your dog out and given home play, social, and exercise time.
“Seymour lives his best life while staying with Tongyezhi and her family. It's tough to give Seymour the attention he deserves at home with two toddlers running around so it is a major relief to be able to have him do daycare where he can have the extra fun he is missing at home.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover I have cared for dogs, cats and even rodents! For the past decade plus I had the honor and privilege to have cared for 2 dogs who lived fun and fulfilling lives to senior age. I am experienced with dogs who deal with reactivity, chronic illnesses, and mobility issues. I have acquired some basic training skills over the years including e-collar training. Please do not hesitate to send a message with details about your dog's specific needs. Together we can create the best care plan possible for your fluffy family members! I work remotely full time from home with a flexible schedule. Throughout my work day I diligently walk, water, feed, and play with any animals under my care. Pet needs can sometimes be unpredictable. My services can be made available to those in need of short-notice pet care. For those in need of pet boarding and short-term pet sitting I have a large fenced yard with plenty of toys, access to potty areas, and open access into my home. There is plenty of space for your dog to be comfortable and receive appropriate mental stimulation. Crate trained dogs are welcome though the majority of my experience is with non-crate trained dogs. I make a point to walk and play with your dog as much as necessary!
About: Dogs have always been part of my life and my family. I am retired now, so my schedule is very flexible. My husband and I lead an active lifestyle and will make sure your dog is taken care of like family. We have a large backyard with access from a doggy door. We will keep you posted with photos and feedback on a daily basis. We have raised all breeds over our years as dog owners and have been blessed with wonderful senior rescues. Since my husband and I are both retired we are very flexible in our schedules and should be able to accommodate any timeframe that is needed. Our backyard is spacious and fenced in. There is access through a doggy door if that is negotiable for your dog. It can also be blocked if if required. We are very close to a beautiful park, which is wonderful for some nice long walks. We recently lost our 10 year old bull terrier to cancer and so our house feels empty without our beloved Walter. We will make sure your furry friend feels like family.
“We needed a sitter so we could go to the Rock museum and Pam was gracious enough to take him for the day! Thank you, Pam! He was well taken care of.”

About: Even though we do not have dogs ourselves, I grew up with many rescue dogs. Friends and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pups! I love to play with them, take them for long walks, or just cuddle. I am a full-time university professor. During the school year, I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I am also available Tuesday and Thursday late afternoons evenings. I am happy to schedule weekend care. My summer (mid-May to mid-August) is much more open and flexible. I am available for multiple daily home visits, but not for overnights. Since I had a "super senior" cat who needed daily meds, I am punctual and diligent about care. I am excellent at paying attention to details. I give all animals attentive, loving care!
About: I am the person at a party that hangs out with the pets of the house instead of socializing. I have pretty much always had a dog in my house. I am currently my dog’s secondary care giver but during the day I become the primary. I currently work a part time job that takes up my time after 4:30pm on week days and around 5:30-11:00 am on weekends. My Sunday’s will be free after the 27th though I can easily crate your dog if needed, I am pretty cuddly and also love playing with dogs. I am also an avid hiker and love long walks.
“Makenna helped us out during a busy time in our lives by taking our puppy for walks. She is trustworthy, always very punctual and a great communicator. My puppy also loves her.”
“Madison is very reliable and was able to help out with walking Callie last minute for me. Ever since then, she is my go to dog walker. She takes great care of Callie, communicates well and always makes sure my house is secure when she leaves. I will definitely keep booking her for future walks! Callie says 10/10 recommended!”
“Molly has been so great for my dogs! She does a great job with my “problem” golden, Bella. I love the detailed report cards. It’s been such a relief for me to have her when I travel for work. She is Highly recommended.”
“Randy walked my dog today, and I have to say I was nothing more than impressed. I got multiple pictures and constant communication. I really appreciate Randy walking my dog in the time that I needed. I will be reusing Randy’s services whenever I need someone to walk my dog that I can trust. Thank you, Randy.”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. When a couple of years ago we lost our senior family dog, I started volunteering with a local rescue and have fostered 20+ puppies over the past few years. Fostering has given me experience with everything from energetic, playful pups to post-surgery care—things like baths, basic grooming, medications (even injections), vet pickups, and lots of patience and love. I also help neighbors with dog walking and pet sitting, so I’m used to different personalities and routines. I truly just love being around dogs—and getting outside for walks is a bonus for me too! I’m available for afternoon and evening walks or check-ins during the week. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and I am available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, or multiple visits if needed. I’m also happy to stick to your dogs’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During walks and check-ins, I follow your instructions closely, keep dogs secure on leash, and make sure they get the right balance of exercise, attention, and care. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet like my own.
“Susan was incredible - she walked our dog Toby every day for a week while we were traveling. She sent pictures each day to keep us up to date and make us miss Toby less. Toby loved playing with her and walking with her. I’d have Susan take care of him any time we travel in future.”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience helping care for pets for friends and family. I’m reliable, attentive, and quick to learn each pet’s unique needs and personality. I’m committed to following all instructions closely and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and always aim to create a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I currently have tons of availability due to just leaving my job and doing this full time as I search for something else I have plenty of time to care for your pet! While caring for your pet in your home I will give them much playtime time, love and attention! I will treat your fur baby as my own
About: I am a caring and patient person that works on a farm with all sorts of animals including dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks. I'm excited to care for your animals! My work day on the farm is short and I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings to care for your animals playing, feeding, and walking. I am a reliable, trustworthy, and responsible worker capable of moving in and out of your home in a caring manner using safety and security measures that you see fit.
“Chloe was amazing! She was great with Ziva and sent me photos of their walk. She's reliable, responsible, and definitely loves dogs. Ziva was tired and happy when I came home. I would definitely contact Chloe again!”
About: I lead a very active lifestyle, more than happy to provide exercise for the dogs, i have a very flexible schedule, and i love playing with the pups! I am home from school for the summer, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am capable of arranging my schedule around the pet’s needs. I can provide attentive care to the dogs needs. I am receptive to specific care instructions and regular visits if need be. I am committed to the safety of the dog, and I am a trustworthy care taker.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs growing up as well as friends dogs over the years. I walk / hike a lot and love being outside, if your dogs are comfortable at parks I’d love to take them out ! My friends and family have relied on me a lot for holidays and special occasions or to just check in while they work to take them on a walk or for some pets / play time. I always send photos for updates on how the fur babies are doing during our visits :) I’m very reliable and have a flexible work schedule that I know 2-3 weeks in advance. I’m always looking forward to meeting new people and their animals ! I do also work another job, but I know my schedule 2-3 weeks in advance and have breaks to come and check on pets also! I don’t care for any other animals at my home besides my own cats! But I always come and meet everyone beforehand and get a run down of everything I’ll need to know for the time I’m watching them!
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have always loved caring for them, from playful puppies to older pets. I enjoy spending time with dogs, making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m responsible, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re part of my family. I’m currently in school, but I’m free on my days off and weekends, so I’d love to take dogs on walks and spend time with them. I enjoy making sure pups are happy, safe, and having fun while you’re away. When walking dogs, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I follow their usual routines, give them plenty of exercise and attention, and can send updates or photos so owners know their pup is having a great walk.
“Dasha was awesome! She texted me updates throughout Wilma's walk/visit and even brought in our packages from our front porch. She followed all of the directions we left to a T, but most importantly she took great care of our dog and made her long day alone less lonely. We will definitely use her again. Wilma had a great time with Dasha!”

While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”
About: I’m a champion for human & pets alike. Familial animals have been apart of my life since I was a young child and the subsequent years into my adulthood. I’ve assisted in the basic obedience training of 10+ dogs both in youth & elder-hood; temporarily lived with anxious pups whilst their parents traveled out of state; & I’ve formed genuine bonds with clients’ pets that I’ve routinely walked and tended to for years now. I’ve departed from traditional 9 to 5 employment to commit myself full-time towards the enriching of relations between all living beings, in particular, one Pet/Parent client at a time! Pet caregiving, dog handling & house sitting are my full-time job! Which fortunately means I’ve got quite a fluid weekly schedule capable of integrating a broad range of client scenarios. Mondays & Tuesdays between 9am and 9pm are my most flexible hours — services needed Wednesday thru Friday can be readily accommodated during our initial consultation. For clients interested in Boarding services - my home is a decently sized, fully furnished apartment with climate control functionality. During their stay with me your pets are welcome to languor however they normally would at home. I strive to make the stay as comfortable as possible for your pets whilst honoring whatever caregiving conditions/training you may request. If house-sitting your home is preferred, you can feel confident that your residence & loved-ones will be tended to with exemplary care & that upon your return home, it will be in the exact same or better condition than when you’d left it!
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was a child, and they have always been a very special part of my life. Back home in Thailand, I have four dogs who are truly part of my family. I cared for them from when they were little puppies through their senior years before I moved to the U.S. to study.🫶🏻 . I usually start my day around 7:30 AM, and one of the first things I’ll do is take your pup outside for a morning walk. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I have class for about three hours from 9am -12pm. After class, I’m available until around 4:00 PM, when I leave for my part-time job and get home around 8pm. On Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, I go to work from 11-2pm & 4:30-8pm. I do get a break from 2:30-4, so I’ll be able to come let your pup out for a potty break on those days & I’ll also be able to walk and play if weather permits. I’m off on Saturday & sundays 🏡 My Home & Safety I have a spacious home with a large, fully fenced yard, giving your pup plenty of room to play, explore, and enjoy time outside safely. My neighborhood is peaceful and dog-friendly, with many families, children, and dogs around, making it a great environment for walks and outdoor time. Your dog’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I want every pup staying with me to feel safe, relaxed, and loved — just like they’re at home. 🐶❤️ To keep my home and neighborhood safe and comfortable for everyone, I currently accept dogs who are: 💉 Up to date on vaccinations 🏠 House-trained 🐾 Spayed or neutered 🚨 Please let me know if your dog has any allergies, health concerns, or special needs I should know about. 🐶🤎
“Flora was amazing as always with our fur baby! She gave her plenty of walks, even in the cold and snow, and welcomed Luna as a part of her family for the week they spent together. 10/10, we will definitely be asking Flora to watch her again!!”
“Austin is a great, reliable source for your dog sitting needs! We left our dog Boone in Austin’s care last week and we received daily updates and pictures from Austin, keeping us fully comfortable and happy with the experience! Highly recommend Austin and we will for sure be repeat customers.”
“Colleen was great, and accommodating of a last minute request for sitting. I received daily updates with photos, and my dog seemed very happy. No issues noted, and will definitely use her again - on a monthly basis if possible!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to Baker, our 5-year-old adopted coonhound. He’s such a big part of my life that he even inspired me to write and publish a children’s book about him, Learning to Count with Baker the Dog! Having Baker has given me years of firsthand experience with the responsibility, attention, patience, and love that go into caring for a dog. My husband and I also regularly help care for our sister-in-law’s two dogs when she’s away, sometimes having them stay with us for several days at a time. We also love helping our friends by watching their dogs in our home when they need a sitter. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog is staying with me, needs a walk, or just needs some extra attention and company, I’ll treat them with the same care and affection I give Baker. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or other instructions you provide. I also understand that every dog has their own personality, and I’ll take the time to learn what makes yours feel comfortable and happy. You can expect dependable care, great communication, plenty of updates and photos, and lots of attention for your pup. I’d love to meet you and your dog and help give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work fully remote from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day and makes pet care fit very naturally into my routine. I’m able to be present for regular walks, potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day rather than leaving a dog alone for long stretches. Because my schedule is flexible, I can also adjust around each dog’s normal routine and specific needs. Whether your pup is staying with me, needs a daytime visit, or just benefits from some extra company and attention, I’m able to make their care a consistent part of my day. When caring for pets in my home, I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family. Since I work remotely, I’m able to be home with them throughout much of the day for regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also make sure to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and will learn about their personality, preferences, and any special instructions before their stay. Because we have our own dog, Baker, I prefer to do a meet-and-greet before boarding whenever possible so we can make sure the dogs are comfortable together. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their home and their pet’s established routine. I’ll follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any other care needs, while making sure their pet receives plenty of attention and companionship. For either type of care, communication is very important to me. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Shannon did such a great job caring for Cinna. She took her for walks, gave me frequent updates & lots of pictures, and gave Cinna lots of love & attention! She also has a nice big fenced in backyard and two sweet pups of her own that Cinna could play with all weekend. Looking forward to booking with her again!”
“Lana did a great job looking after my dogs for the long weekend! She sent photos and kept me up to date with how they were doing. One of my dogs needs medication twice a dog which was administered. There is a lot of space on her property for playing and my dogs had lots of fun!”
“Thank you Brittany for caring for our girl while we were on vacation.She was so relaxed and calm when we returned gave us piece of mind to see the picture of her relaxing with your family. "The Fleshman Family "”
“Mike was fantastic. He took great care of our dog while we were out of the country. He sent us photo updates throughout the stay. His backyard is fully fenced in and beautiful. And Pickle and Burt were very welcoming to Theo. We will book Mike again when we need a sitter. Highly recommend”
“Stephanie kept us updated on Karma regularly, and that put us at ease. She was quick to communicate when Karma had blood in his stools. Thank you Stephanie for taking care of Karma for 2 weeks!!”
“I'm very tardy in completing this review - I thought I had done it! As always, Sandra was GREAT! She sent us pictures of Casey and at the end of our vacation, we received a wonderful video w/ music. It made my day! He was kept busy, loved on and barely noticed we were gone. LOL I trust Sandra 100% with my baby. Thank you!!!”
