“Brandi was amazing! Our dogs stayed with her for a week and were very well taken care of. She kept us updated with pictures and a check in each day. In every picture, our dogs looked so happy! Brandi handled our dog’s medication and their little quirks with ease. Drop off and pick up were easy. She really went above and beyond!”
“This is our second time using Emily and Eric. They always go above and beyond to make our pup comfortable and send lots of pictures and keep us updated. They are incredibly friendly and we always know that our pup will be well taken care of when we drop him off. Highly recommend!”
“Todd was exceptional in taking care of our Ava! He made sure she was comfortable in his home prior to the booking and answered any questions we had promptly. He is very communicative as well and provided us plenty of pictures and updates while we were away. We're very thankful for Todd and would recommend him to anyone seeking pet-boarding services.”
“Hailey and her family were so friendly, kind, and easy to work with. We met ahead of time to make sure it was a good fit, and Hailey was so thorough and asked great questions, which gave me a lot of confidence in leaving Willow with them. Willow had the best time while we were away. We will definitely book with Hailey again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Cynthia was absolutely amazing with Eddie! She was very communicative and made me feel very at ease with the drop off and pick ups. I recommend her for boarding and I'll be booking again I'm the future!”
“Carolyn was the first sitter I booked using this app and I am thankful. You can tell she is an animal lover. Her dog is sweet and they have a backyard where the dogs can play. She was fantastic at communicating with me. I am also appreciative for her understanding when I was running late to pick up. My dog looked really happy while staying there. I will rebook when I am in need. Thank you, Carolyn.”
“Tony is fantastic, My puppy loved her time with with him as shown in Tony's picture updates. Tony is easy to work with, flexible and friendly. We will definitely be returning.”
“Melissa was super helpful by taking care of my manu last minute while I was visiting for a wedding! She showed me the area and there was lots of space and friends for manu to play with! I would highly recommend Melissa, she’s been great with giving me instructions and is very communicative!”
“I can't recommend her enough! Leaving Stella while I was away was one of the hardest parts of my trip, but she made the entire experience completely stress-free. From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. It was obvious that she treated Stella as if she were her own. Throughout my entire trip, she kept me updated with frequent messages, photos, and videos of Stella, which gave me so much peace of mind. Seeing Stella happy, comfortable, and having fun made all the difference. She always took the time to let me know how Stella was doing, and I never had to wonder if she was okay. Stella came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was easy to see how much love, patience, and attention she received during her stay. Knowing that someone cared for her with so much affection meant the world to me. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, she is absolutely the person to choose. I would leave Stella with her again without a second thought, and I'm so grateful for the wonderful care she provided. Thank you for loving Stella and taking such amazing care of her while I was away it meant more to me than words can express!”
“My pup loved his stay with Amy. She kept in touch daily and sent pictures and updates! She is quick with communicating and easygoing. I plan to book again with Amy in the future!”
“We’re so grateful to have found Mary and Randy to care for our pup over a long holiday trip. They will definitely now be our go-to sitters — they’ve set up their home and land to perfectly accommodate dogs, and were such warm and caring people. We received many fun photos and videos showing our dog having a blast, and we know he’s just as eager to stay with Mary and Randy again.”
“Debbie is very phenomenal sitter, I wouldn’t call her a sitter. She is a family to Neo (my dog), making him feel safe including her husband and her dog, and they all took him in as a seamless transition. I can go on vacation with ease and she send me tons of pictures where I feel included/aware of what he is doing. Thank you very much Debbie!”
“Our pup had a wonderful stay! Lajetta sent tons of pictures of our dog while we were away and was super responsive to texts. We will definitely try and book her again in the future!”
“Brianna took care of Ruger, our golden doodle for 4 days. This was Ruger’s first time being away from our family. Ruger was pretty nervous being away our home. Brianna was very patient & loving with him in her home. She kept us updated with picture. We appreciated the great communication. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for in home care for their furry babies.”
“Chelsea was very sweet and friendly. She welcomed Deebo to her home and when we got Deebo back I can tell he used up all his energy and was entertained. I absolutely love that she has dogs that Deebo can play and socialize with. Great for his development as he is going through his puppy phase. I definitely recommend and will be coming back! I was a little nervous bringing my puppy over but after communicating with Chelsea and having my questions answered she made this process so effortless and at ease.”
“Elaine is fantastic! My dog was very comfortable staying at her house for a few days while I was away. She sent me pictures and updates every day and my pup came back happy. I'd book with Elaine again in a heartbeat.”
“I boarded my dog Hamilton for the first time with Emily and he did so well! He came home happy and exhausted and I’m so grateful. I was nervous as he is a very shy boy and I felt like he was in really good hands! Would highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was great with my 3 dogs who have never been boarded at someone else’s house and two of them were a little nervous. They came around in no time, had the choice of sleeping with her if they wanted to, lots of room to play, and got along great with her dogs. We’ll definitely be back.”
“Moira is absolutely amazing—my dog Teddy compeltely ADORED her! She has a natural gift with dogs and made my anxious pup feel totally at ease (which is no small feat). She’s also a CHAMPION communicator, sending quick replies and the cutest updates that kept me smiling. Bonus: she’s not only affordable, but super flexible too, which made everything so easy. I swear my dog didn’t want to come back home… and honestly, I don’t blame him! Highly recommend 🐾✨”

“Alex goes above and beyond to take care of our cats and home. Fantastic and timely at communicating and sharing photos! When we return our cats are always content and calm, we couldn’t ask for better care! Best cat sitter we’ve ever had!”
“We got home to two cats that seemed relaxed and well cared for. By the end of our trip, the cats seemed to be settling into the routine of Richard and fam’s daily visits which made everything much easier on us. We appreciated getting photos and updates every day, and we hope to use Richard and fam for our next vacation!”
“We are so grateful to have found Tina! We knew the moment we met her that our cat was in the best care. Tina is very knowledgeable about pet care and has the personality to facilitate exceptional treatment of our pets.”
About: I've had pets my whole life so going 50+ years. After having some bad experiences from other dog sitters, my son and I decided we could do it better. We know that our 4 dogs are our life and their well being is our top priority. I am retired so I have plenty of time to dedicate to taking care of your precious family. There should never be any worries when you leave your pet with someone. I worked in a vet hospital when I was younger and assisted in bathing, walking, feeding animals that were well behaved and not so well behaved. Our goal is to make your life easier knowing that your fur babies are well taken care of. We hope you'll try us out. I have a lot of availability to come and care for your pets. I am available for drop in visits as well as overnight care. We are available to come to your home for visits as well as stay at your place and provide home care. We can provide care at our home but the animal must be ok with other dogs & cats.
“Breezey did an amazing job watching my two cats while I was out of town for ten days. She was communicative and gave great updates. I was a little anxious after experiences I had with pet sitters in the past, but I had absolutely no worries or issues this. ☺️”
“Veronica was very communicative and sent me consistent updates/pictures of my kitties while I was out of the country. She even went as far as getting a new bag of litter before I returned to save me the effort since the litter was low. She also gave my spicy cat the space he required and all the pets/loves on my more social cat. I will definitely book Veronica again in the future.”
About: I haven't cared for other people's cats but I have taken in a stray that had been abandoned. I've taken care of feral cats as well finding good homes and keeping them fixed so they don't over populate trailer park I was living in at time. In one 24 hour period I caught a spicy feral kitten and was able to gain enough trust that the person that adopted him just adored him. He's been an angel for her ever since. I hope to help many more cats and kittens in the future. No kitty left behind.
“Kris was amazing in taking care of my cats while we were gone! I can’t say how much i appreciate that they’re loved and cared for when we aren’t there. 10/10 definitely recommend, and will use next time we’re away!”
“If you need someone who is dependable and thorough, Sarah is definitely the pet sitter for you! We have had her do drop in visits twice a day. Our pets love her. She actively plays with them, makes sure they are fed, fresh water and potty breaks. We trust her in our home and with our pets.”
About: Hello! I'm Mattea and I'm 24 years old. I've grown up with dogs of various breeds including Springer Spaniels, Labrador Retrievers, Bully mixes, and Olde English Bulldogge Pitbull mixes. These are just dogs I've owned (or currently do, I have 3 bully mixes and a lab x rottie mix between me and my family) I've worked with various other breeds since I was basically old enough to be able to, including breeds from small to large sizes. (Such as Toy Poodles, Jack Russell Terriors, Komondors/Hungarian Sheepdogs, English Setters, Chihuahua mixes, Australian Shepherds, Dachshunds, Great Danes, and more!) I've been told by people I'm kind of an animal whisper. I also have grown up with cats and currently have three! I've dog sat a 120lb Labrador, who was quite moody, starting when I was age 10. Along with a pitbull mix sibling he had then with strict restrictions on their interactions. I've also worked with dog reactive dogs, and very skittish dogs. I also enjoy grooming and have brushed a Samoyed who I was told usually didn't like getting brushed, but she was perfect for me and even laid and fell asleep while just letting me brush her. Overall I just love animals of all kinds and would love to be able to work with them! I currently have a decently open schedule to be able to walk and pet sit dogs and cats. I would love to take on several pups to walk or pet sit. I am happy to follow any guidelines the owner has with drop-ins to allow their dogs or cats to feel the most comfortable and satisfied with their care. I will not be taking any clients who are wanting boarding. We have 3 dogs and 3 cats, so just not an ideal situation to bring in a boarding pet.
“Savannah was awesome taking care of Jack while we were out of town. She did everything expected and then some and as would be expected from anyone letting someone in Their house when they are gone she respected our boundaries. She went above and beyond and I would recommend her for anyone and she would be my first choice for a rebooking.”

“Tina was fantastic with my 6 month old puppy, Luna. My dog is very shy and timid when meeting new people and in new environments. Tina was very understanding and knowledgeable on Luna’s temperament. Tina knew exactly what to do to make Luna feel more comfortable and relaxed. We will definitely use Tina again. Thank you Tina!”
“As far as we can tell, Lyla had a wonderful time at Amanda's. She has since gone back twice more. I would recommend Amanda to others looking for a loving day care situation for their fur babies :) Debbie Amable Chunn”
“I'm very new to the area and I needed someone to watch my 2 corgis with short notice. Jennifer responded fast and she was very flexible with my chaotic schedule. Excellent communication before, during, and after our reservation and my dogs were content and happy. I would recommend Jennifer and use in the future! Thank you!”
“Shell and team are so great with our two doggies. They really care and love each doggie that they watch and make sure they are well socialized with the other doggies. Shell is great with communication and updates / photos and had really made us feel comfortable with leaving our dogs - we know they are in great hands. . We are so lucky to have found Castle Furbaby and are looking forward to more play groups and overnight stays.”
“I can’t thank Cynthia enough for the exceptional care she took of our pups on very short notice. Great communication and updates, and they had a blast. I highly recommend working with her!”
“This is my first time leaving my pug boy Louie with a sitter. I was nervous at first about leaving him but Jamie and her mom made me feel comfortable about leaving him there. They allowed me to have a meet and greet first, and Jamie answered all questions i had. She reassured me he was in good hands and i know he was. Jamie has very good communication, and made me feel even better by sending lots of pics and videos of Louie while he was there. I will definitely be booking jamie again for my boy.”

About: I’ve seen all kinds of shenanigans while caring for pets and give special attention as needed, including administering meds through syringe, pills cleverly placed in cheese or food, companionship and present time, play time, feeding pet pigs in a manner that avoids food battles and many more! I’m up for it all and have the freedom to watch your lil loves while you are away so let me know if you have any questions. Happy to answer them for you. I’m available for housesitting on weekends and during the week (with enough heads up!) so give me the dates you plan to skip outta town for and I’ll let you know if I’m available to meet, greet and watch your little furbabies / reptiles / pets of all sorts.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old, my senior girl I’ve had since then is 18 yrs old and still going strong!

I work a nine to five and am free on weekends, so I hang out and take care of my pets in the evenings when I get off work. I don’t currently live at home with my pets so I don’t get to see them as often as I would like because I’m in school. My dogs live with my parents and we have a fenced in yard and a space in our house just for the dogs. I live by myself though if your dog isn’t comfortable around other animals!

About: Certified dog trainer and behaviorist. Pet CPR certified Medication dispensing knowledge Grooming knowledge I own a 2 year old Goldendoodle, Winnie. I raised her while going to school for my certification from 12 weeks old. I practice positive reinforcement with balanced training. We work hard and play harder, and love an active lifestyle. I’m a stay-at-home mom and I intentionally keep my schedule open so I can provide consistent, attentive care. I enjoy staying busy and working with animals daily. Available 7 days a week, typically 9am–9pm. Weekend availability varies based on client needs. Animals in my care are treated like family, but with structure. I provide clear boundaries, routine, and guidance so pets feel secure and understood. Pets are given time to play, eat, potty, train, and rest. I incorporate basic manners and calm behavior into daily care so they’re not just being watched—they’re learning. I have a young child in the home, so I need to know ahead of time if a pet is sensitive or reactive around children. Requirements: Up-to-date on vaccinations (including rabies) No intact dogs over 2 years old Must be safe to handle in a home environment I also use long leads when appropriate to safely allow freedom while maintaining control, which is helpful for recall and behavior work.
About: I’ve cared for animals for several years and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have hands-on experience caring for my own pets, including three ferrets, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying close attention to an animal’s individual needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow your pet’s routine to help them feel at ease. My goal is to give you peace of mind while ensuring your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and quality care. I truly love all pets and have even began volunteering at the southwest humane society to continue my journey with pet care! I have open availability all summer and would love the opportunity to care for your pets! During the school year (September through June), I work full-time as a teacher, but I’m typically available on weekends, afternoons, and school breaks. I’m committed to providing dependable, loving care whenever you need it. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, ensure they get the appropriate amount of exercise and playtime, and give them plenty of attention and affection.
About: I’ve had some kind of furry friend for the last 15 years, originally with a Dachshund pup to now caring for 3 cats with my wife - 2 adult and 1 senior - with all sorts of furry friends in between! Throw in our Akita for some chaotic energy as well! I’ve cared for other pets as well on numerous occasions for friends and family, occasionally house sitting for some pets that were unable to be boarded due to stress and anxiety. This included pets that required medication and/or injections as well. I’ve trained all the dogs I had with multiple methods, and manage the current training regiment for our Akita. I’m fluent in basic commands (sit, stay, heel, come) both on and off leash, and have taught additional tricks (paw, kennel) via positive reinforcement techniques. While I do work full-time, I am largely flexible due to working remotely. I would prefer any elongated visits to occur after 3pm, but am more than glad to pop in for an hour during the day. Nights and Weekends are largely free sans any travel for work. I have experience with pets from all ranges of ages and backgrounds, and can meet most special requirements as needed. Every pet is special to someone, and deserves to be treated as if they were my own.
About: Dogs are life. I've raised and trained several puppies, healed sick dogs with herbs and cared generally for dogs my entire life. I actually became an herbalist because I started healing dogs first. I live and work at home so I currently have all the time in the world to pamper, hike with and love up your pups. I have a fenced yard in the back and a whole 5 acres of roaming land and a doggo to keep your company and show em the lay of the land.
About: Hey there fury friends and owners! I'm Bailey and I love animals, I have car, dog, bird and farm animal experience. I would love to help youtake care of yours. I'm so looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks for stopping by my page. My availability currently is pretty open. I’m available part-time on a weekly service-perhaps every couple days if needed. It all depends on the location and services needed. I’m unsure how many pets I’m willing to take on at the moment. I can’t help but speak to an animal in high pitch tones as well as full on conversation with them like they’re answering me! Anything to get a head twist or a butt wiggle.
About: Hello! I'm Mattea and I'm 24 years old. I've grown up with dogs of various breeds including Springer Spaniels, Labrador Retrievers, Bully mixes, and Olde English Bulldogge Pitbull mixes. These are just dogs I've owned (or currently do, I have 3 bully mixes and a lab x rottie mix between me and my family) I've worked with various other breeds since I was basically old enough to be able to, including breeds from small to large sizes. (Such as Toy Poodles, Jack Russell Terriors, Komondors/Hungarian Sheepdogs, English Setters, Chihuahua mixes, Australian Shepherds, Dachshunds, Great Danes, and more!) I've been told by people I'm kind of an animal whisper. I also have grown up with cats and currently have three! I've dog sat a 120lb Labrador, who was quite moody, starting when I was age 10. Along with a pitbull mix sibling he had then with strict restrictions on their interactions. I've also worked with dog reactive dogs, and very skittish dogs.

I am happy to follow any guidelines the owner has with drop-ins to allow their dogs or cats to feel the most comfortable and satisfied with their care. I will not be taking any clients who are wanting boarding. We have 3 dogs and 3 cats, so just not an ideal situation to bring in a boarding pet.

We met ahead of time to make sure it was a good fit, and Hailey was so thorough and asked great questions, which gave me a lot of confidence in leaving Willow with them. Willow had the best time while we were away. We will definitely book with Hailey again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Cynthia was absolutely amazing with Eddie! She was very communicative and made me feel very at ease with the drop off and pick ups. I recommend her for boarding and I'll be booking again I'm the future!”
“Tony is fantastic, My puppy loved her time with with him as shown in Tony's picture updates. Tony is easy to work with, flexible and friendly. We will definitely be returning.”
“Melissa was super helpful by taking care of my manu last minute while I was visiting for a wedding! She showed me the area and there was lots of space and friends for manu to play with! I would highly recommend Melissa, she’s been great with giving me instructions and is very communicative!”
“We’re so grateful to have found Mary and Randy to care for our pup over a long holiday trip. They will definitely now be our go-to sitters — they’ve set up their home and land to perfectly accommodate dogs, and were such warm and caring people. We received many fun photos and videos showing our dog having a blast, and we know he’s just as eager to stay with Mary and Randy again.”
“Debbie is very phenomenal sitter, I wouldn’t call her a sitter. She is a family to Neo (my dog), making him feel safe including her husband and her dog, and they all took him in as a seamless transition. I can go on vacation with ease and she send me tons of pictures where I feel included/aware of what he is doing. Thank you very much Debbie!”
“Brianna took care of Ruger, our golden doodle for 4 days. This was Ruger’s first time being away from our family. Ruger was pretty nervous being away our home. Brianna was very patient & loving with him in her home. She kept us updated with picture. We appreciated the great communication. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for in home care for their furry babies.”
“Chelsea was very sweet and friendly. She welcomed Deebo to her home and when we got Deebo back I can tell he used up all his energy and was entertained. I absolutely love that she has dogs that Deebo can play and socialize with. Great for his development as he is going through his puppy phase. I definitely recommend and will be coming back! I was a little nervous bringing my puppy over but after communicating with Chelsea and having my questions answered she made this process so effortless and at ease.”
“Elaine is fantastic! My dog was very comfortable staying at her house for a few days while I was away. She sent me pictures and updates every day and my pup came back happy. I'd book with Elaine again in a heartbeat.”
“I boarded my dog Hamilton for the first time with Emily and he did so well! He came home happy and exhausted and I’m so grateful. I was nervous as he is a very shy boy and I felt like he was in really good hands! Would highly recommend!”
“Moira is absolutely amazing—my dog Teddy compeltely ADORED her! She has a natural gift with dogs and made my anxious pup feel totally at ease (which is no small feat). She’s also a CHAMPION communicator, sending quick replies and the cutest updates that kept me smiling. Bonus: she’s not only affordable, but super flexible too, which made everything so easy. I swear my dog didn’t want to come back home… and honestly, I don’t blame him! Highly recommend 🐾✨”
“Leah and Chris were amazing! It was so obvious our boys were having a blast with them and that they loved them as their own. We got daily updates with amazing photos of the dogs and saw they were being regularly walked and paid attention to. 100% will book with them again.”
“Steve cared for our older pitbull with all the love we would have given her at home. He was on top of her daily medications, gave her all the snuggles, and treated her like his own pup. We would highly recommend Steve and are thrilled to have found someone we can trust to take care of our sweet girl!”
“Ron will be our go-to guy as long as he is willing to take our dog! Our dog is always so anxious before and after we leave. He was excited to run into Ron’s home and has been so relaxed ever since we picked him up.”
“I had an excellent experience with Jared boarding my dog for a week. He was incredibly responsive throughout the entire stay, providing regular updates and making sure my dog felt at home. It was clear that Jared genuinely cares about pets, and I felt at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. Highly recommend Jared for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Marta was extremely communicate and very loving with Louis. Louis can be anxious around new people but he gravitated toward her like I never seen him do before. Marta’s Husband and pet dog (Adonis) were also very pleasant and cared for Louis with a lot of care and kindness. I would book with her again.”
“Heath and Amy were amazing! Super flexible with all drop off and pickup needs, they have a lovely family that clearly love animals. Our dog was super happy to spend over a week with them which isn't super common as she is typically a bit nervous about new home environments. Not in this case, she made herself right at home thanks to their welcoming presence and their own pup was the perfect playmate. We will definitely be reaching out to them for future dogsitting needs.”
