“Zuri is absolutely fantastic! My mini schnauzer had a blast and made friends with her dog kids. She is incredibly attentive and genuinely loving. She’s the only dog sitter I will use now! If I could give 10 stars I would.”
“Whitney was warm and welcoming, and Zoey loved her and her dogs!! Whitney communicated with me and sent me pictures of Zoey during her stay which gave me peace of mind! I will use Whitney again! 😊”
“Connie was wonderful with our kitty Expresso. It was a worry free experience. She kept me updated with pictures and text messages. I would definitely use her again for my cat sitting needs. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was absolutely FANTASTIC! If there were 10 stars to give I certainly would. The entire experience was wonderful from the initial contact, to the meet and greet with my two pups, to the drop off not to mention all the pictures and video updates. My two guys had never stayed away from home and I was a bit nervous at first to leave them somewhere, but Jennifer put the little guys right at ease! I would definitely recommend Jennifer! She is amazing!”
“Danielle really came through for me at the last minute, I'm so grateful! She was very kind and attentive with my dog, Esther, sending adorable pics and updates. Esther is an anxious girl, but she seemed to relax in Danielle's home, it really put me at ease. Thank you again!”
“You will not find more attentive and caring hosts than Dan and Dave! Our very anxious older dog was quickly at home with them and their sweet chihuahua, Hoss. Our Maisie was walked twice a day and I was sent pictures and updates each day. I couldn't recommend them more highly! They are wonderful pet hosts!!”
“We threw a small superbowl party at our home. Floki does not do well with guests stopping by, so we searched for near by dog sitter to watch him for the evening. We met with Jordan a couple weeks prior to dropping Floki off. He did well with him and his son. Jordan sent pictures throughout his, putting our mind to ease! The picture of our dog with his head on his son's lap was PERFECT! Like I said, he doesn't do well with strangers stopping by so this made both of us very happy receiving this photo! Floki is a very energetic dog and he was tired when he came home. Jordan took Floki for 2 long walks which was not expected but appreciated! He went above and beyond previous sitters!!! So grateful to have found him! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Oh and another thing that we must mention, he got along with the other dogs he cared for; out of the norm for Floki! We're definitely going to use him for future events.”

“Günther and Helene had a great time at Tawna & John’s house! They have their own sweet pup, Layla, and during our stay, there were other dogs too, so G & P had fun playing and got some good socialization. There is a nice run and a big field for playing fetch. We enjoyed photos too! Lastly, we had a hiccup in our plans, and Tawna & John were very understanding and worked with us to arrange an early pick up time that worked for everyone. We would definitely return!”
“Mickenzie is wonderful. Good communication, responds in a timely manner. Her home is well kept and tidy and I appreciate the efforts she makes to keep germs from spreading as I have a young puppy. Would recommend her!”

“Pakuna is honestly hands down the best sitter ever. This was my first time leaving my puppy for a couple of days and was very nervous about leaving my puppy but Pakuna reassured me that everything will be ok and that my pup would have a blast. Our pup loved being with her and her pitty. Highly recommend booking her!”

“This was our first stay with Diana and we couldn’t be more pleased! Communication was great from the meet and greet through every step in the process. Diana sent wonderful pictures and videos during the week and our dog had a great time playing with the other “guests.” She was also patient with our dog’s quirks, which is always comforting. Diana was so considerate and diligent about making sure Ellie was safe and happy. We definitely recommend Diana and will definitely request her services again!”

“Cristy was awesome! She made sure to follow instructions to feed our 3 kitties, take care of the litter boxes, play with them twice a day and was even kind enough to bring in a package that arrived while we were gone. We got great updates and photos and were not worried about their care in the least. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
“Stephanie was very communicative with me while we were away and went above and beyond! The comfort of knowing our babies are being well taken care of while we’re gone means so much to us!”
“Ariya was very attentive and caring. She has lots of experience working with dogs at her job and asked good questions about Milo’s needs. Milo was stressed out because I hardly ever leave him, but Ariya handled him well.”
About: I love the way that cats are they're very unpredictable One minute they're all happy and praying the next minute they're jumping on top of your head, I like that about cats I love to play with them too they're so fun. I got my first cat when I was 6 years old her name was precious I'll never forget her it was the best day of my life I think all animals including cats are precious.
“My'chaela was booked last minute to care for our 15 yo cat, and did a wonderful job, stopping by twice a day to feed & medicate. We booked her again in a few weeks. We have found a good,reliable pet sitter and are looking forward to having My'Chaela provide that care”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of pets. For over twenty years, friends, families, business associates and everybody's been happy and i'm even animal cpr trained I am currently not working. Uh, so I have lots of time to spend with your pets playing with them. I have six acres, and i'm always outside with the dog, so never outside alone. I have a partially fenced yard. I have 6 acres, and I have trails through the property. But I never let the dogs go out by themselves. I always walk them through my property at least four times a day.
About: I have a special love for cats and truly understand that each one has their own unique personality. Whether your cat is playful, independent, shy, or a total cuddle bug, I take the time to meet them where they’re at. I’m patient and gentle, giving them space to feel safe while building trust at their pace. From feeding routines to playtime and litter care, I make sure everything feels consistent and stress-free.
“Kristin watched our 4 dogs while we were out for a bit. She did great and the dogs warmed right up to her. Even our terrier, who can be a bit finicky around new people. We've already booked her back for an overnight trip.”
“Monica took excellent care of our kitty and left our home just as she found it. It was apparent from the pictures that she snapped that she was a cat whisperer and provided the affection that we were looking for in a cat sitter.”
About: I own a husky mix and have for three years. I regularly bath, brush and walk him. I’m very patient with animals. I enjoy being around dogs because they’re super smart and definitely steal your heart. Dogs are more than a mans best friend, they’re family. As I begin in the dog care world I would like to be full time and help families by providing care for their furry babies. It’s nice to be able to take a vacation or a trip and know that your dog is being well taken care of, allowing you to enjoy time with friends and family. I will frequently send pictures and updates so you can see how everything is going and and feel included. I have self-taught myself how to trim and file dogs nails and how to brush excess fur, to prevent matted and tangled coats. I also enjoy bathing them. I know pet care can add up and be expensive so I’m willing to negotiate rates depending on the distance I have to drive and the number of services your needing. Feel free to ask any questions because I’m here to help you!
About: I grew up on a farm taking care of dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, horses, and cows. I love all dogs but especially small dogs. My last cat was a rescue who lived to the age of 21. I personally provided iv fluids for the last 2 yrs of her life and am comfortable with meeting the needs of senior animals. I have also raised puppies and love playing with them! Currently I cannot have pets where I live so I watch my moms queensland heeler and play with my sisters German Shepard almost daily. Since my 20 yr old cat passed I have not owned another pet......yet :) I super flexible and can do whatever is needed to meet your needs. It's important to me that you feel confident that your fur baby will be pampered and treated with love and respect.

“We used Zuri for a daysitting. She was excellent with our 4 month puppy who has separation anxiety. She sent us pics and videos throughout the day to let us know our puppy was doing great. We will definitely plan to use Zuri in the future and would highly recommend her.”
“Danielle was wonderful with our shy, anxious rescue. She communicated well and asked plenty of great questions, was kind and patient, and has a calm demeanor. We weren't able to do a meet and greet in advance since I was traveling through, which made it even more impressive that my pup warmed up to her right away and relaxed so quickly. Responsible, professional service. Highly recommend!”
About: Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets for nearly two decades. My attention to detail never goes unnoticed and I am confident in my abilities to comfort your pet(s) by making them feel special and safe! I have experience with all kinds of creatures — dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents/ferrets, fish, and waterfowl, at all stages of life. Yes, even your beloved seniors. I’m a parent/caregiver to a child with disabilities and while that does not affect my ability to care for animals, it can limit some of my time due to my child’s day-to-day needs, appointments, etc. I update my calendar accordingly to reflect my availability. With that said, most of our appointments are virtual or in-home and I am a stay at home mom so I still have plenty of time for pet care. I have a large fenced in yard for dogs and I am always nearby supervising. I allow pets on furniture and treat them just like my own when I’m watching pets in my home. Instructions regarding potty breaks, feeding, kennel time, medications, etc., are always followed if given.

“This was my first time using Tawyna & John P "Clay" for doggy day care, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. Clay was professional from the start and always prompt in responding to my questions, which I really appreciated. When we arrived, he took the time to give me a tour and patiently answered all of my questions. The multiple levels of fenced kennel runs with bark chips were very well done, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing that both of my Weimaraners were safe and secure. Most importantly, my dogs had a great time! They came home happy and happily worn out at the end of the day, which says everything. I’m so thankful for the care Clay provided and would absolutely recommend him to others looking for a safe, well-run place for their dogs.”
“This was Chuck’s 1st doggy care since I got him. Mickenzie was so wonderful and accommodating since I’m a wheelchair user. She also communicated as asked & sent pictures & a video. I will be a repeat customer. Thank you again Mickenzie ~ Chuck & his Mom”
“Wendy is awesome! She took amazing care of Norman while our family was gone. It was his first stay and she made him feel so comfortable and well taken care of. Plus during his stay, he got to have fun playtimes with other dogs as well! Wendy is very friendly and easy to work with. She was also great with photos/communication during Norman's visit.”
“Penny had a great day with Christina! During the day, Christina sent me photos of Penny and updates on how she was settling in and getting on with her family furry friends. Christina is super friendly and a great communicator. I felt totally at ease leaving Penny with her.”
“Jennifer is fantastic! She'll play and take your dog on walks. She really puts the care into daycare! Our dog will be all tuckered out when he gets home. Great communication as well.”
“Callie had an absolute blast! I appreciate the communication and updates! Gayle and her family are very friendly and took great care of Callie. I can’t wait to book again so she gets used to being in a new space! Thanks again , she is wore out! 🤗😴”
“Kyra has been so wonderful to work with training our 1 year old! I can tell she genuinely cares about his development and well being. She is very responsive and flexible. We look forward to continuing having her and her pups be a part of our dog’s life.”
About: I’ve owned cats all my life, and a few dogs. I have experience volunteering at a local animal shelter, working with both cats and dogs when I was younger . I have a 4H background as well. We adopted our dog Frida 2 years ago. I’m a stay at home, homeschooling mom with a flexible schedule. We are home often and already own a dog. It's not much more work to add one or two into the mix. My kids love dogs and enjoy meeting new ones. We all love that owning dogs helps us to be outside more, either playing with the dogs or taking them on walks. My three children adore dogs and cats, and will give lots of love and attention. We live near parks and have a great neighborhood for walks. Dogs are allowed to free range of the house and fenced yard. They are allowed on the couches.
About: I’ve been caring for a variety of dog breeds since I was a child. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their animals. Not only will I offer a safe place for your fur babies, but I will offer love and care for them as they are my own. I am currently a stay at home mom to my 3 kids. Being able to offer pet care allows me to work, but also teach my kids how to be responsible pet owners too. We live on property that is not fenced, but when animals are outside, they are on leashes or in the dog pen next to our house which is enclosed. When your pet isn’t outside with me, they will be in the house with our family.
“Diana D. was so accommodating to take my little Harley at such short notice. When I came back to pick him up she shared with me some simple ways to help him feel more confident. Diana sent pictures throughout the day as well, which helped me get the a long meeting. Thank you again Diana.”

About: I am a Certified Dog Trainer and I have taken care of dogs since I was a young child. Pet care is what I do full-time. Their health and safety, as well as emotional and physical needs, always come first. Dogs are my favorite thing in the world! I also love cats& any animals! I have volunteered at dog rescues, starting when I was 16, as a dog walker clear until more recently as Adoption Coordinator and Assistant to the Rescue Owner! I have fostered and saved 116 dogs from euthanasia by training them and finding them all homes! I specialize in working with shy or fearful dogs to help build their confidence. I will love your dog as my own. No age or size restrictions. I love to take them on outings to the park! Woof! :) I worked for the Government (VA) 26 years and now I am an Animal Behavior College Dog Obedience Instructor and have plenty of time to take superior care of your babies! I can walk your baby around your neighborhood or go to the park and take them for a car ride. You will receive a lot of photos & videos from me because I love taking pictures of dogs! I I will cuddle and play with your baby because that is what I truly love to do. Your pet will NOT be alone or sad at all! Daily walks x 2 and lots of playtime included. Long and short term care available. Any information about your fur baby is important to me so please provide as much information as possible. Do they like to be lazy or active? What are their likes and dislikes? Do they get along well with other dogs at home? Does your pup like to be snuggled or not? Feeding schedule and walking schedule? (If you have a set time, I can keep that schedule as well.) I am available 24/7. I work full time taking care of pets. (My Own dogs can stay with my Mom if I am staying at your house!)

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my parents raised and trained wirehaired pointing dogs, which gave me an early introduction to dog behavior, training, and responsible pet care. Today, our home is shared with five dogs and two cats, giving me hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. Our pets range from young adults to seniors, including a senior Chihuahua, a spirited Chiweenie, a 120-pound Boxer/Mastiff mix who still thinks he’s a lap dog, and two rescued littermates with unique backgrounds and endless affection. Because of this, I am comfortable caring for pets at many different life stages—from energetic younger animals to senior pets who may require extra patience, monitoring, and specialized care. I have experience with medication administration, basic grooming, nail trimming, bathing, litter box maintenance, and recognizing when something may be off with a pet’s health or behavior. Most importantly, I understand that every pet is an individual. Whether they want to play, cuddle, explore, or simply relax in their favorite spot, I strive to provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care that helps them feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. ❤️🐾 I currently work 8 to 5 Monday through Thursday. However, if need be, I can come in before work, after work and anytime of the day Friday through Sunday. Our dogs have a huge yard to play in, cozy beds to sleep in and get special treats a few times a week. There is never a shortage of pets and cuddles with 7 animals.
About: Caring for animals comes naturally to me—I have a soft spot for every paw, whisker, curly tail and tiny personality. I’m patient, attentive, and deeply committed to making pets feel safe and understood. I know how important it is to trust someone with your companion, so I treat every pet like they’re my own, giving them comfort, consistency, and lots of love. My goal is simple: happy pets and peace of mind for you. I have owned pets my whole childhood and still raise two of my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home for most of the day, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, supervision, and consistent care. My daily routine is very pet-friendly, with plenty of time for walks, play, feeding schedules, and check-ins throughout the day. I have one child in elementary school and a younger child at home with me, so our days are structured but flexible. This means pets are rarely left alone and can be part of a calm, family-oriented environment. I’m mindful of each pet’s needs and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and included throughout the day. I understand the level of trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. Every animal has their own comfort level, so I approach each one with patience, attentiveness, and respect for their boundaries. I focus on creating a safe, low-stress environment where they can feel secure and at ease. I’ll provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. I also like to keep pets mentally engaged with simple games, basic training reinforcement (if you’re working on anything), and sticking to their normal routine so they feel secure. Of course, I’ll always follow your instructions and your pet’s needs—whether that’s high-energy fun or a cozy, low-key day at home. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can see all the fun we’re having.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs, from Mini Alaskan Eskimos to German Shepherds. I grew up around Golden Retrievers. I also have a lot of experience with cats. My other role is as a delivery driver, which allows me to have a flexible availability to care for your animals. I do what it takes to be fully committed to my agreements and responsibilities. I am adaptable and happy to follow the routine your pet is used to. I am a quick learner who aims to keep your pet(s) as happy and comfortable as possible. I have dog walking experience and can do drop ins or overnights.
About: I have grown up being surrounded by dogs! My dad always had dogs in our home. I raised my pitbull/lab mixed breed dog Nala from when I was the age of Ten until she passed away when I was 21 years old. She taught me a lot about being a pet owner as well as a person! She was my best friend🤍 I am a very active, responsible, and empathetic person! I enjoy being outdoors going on long walks, hikes, and runs! I’m always down for a furry friend to tag along :) My current work schedule is 6am to 6pm Sunday through Tuesday :) I am available throughout the week on my days off for some pet care! I am respectful of other spaces! I like to stay occupied and am willing to go on adventures with your fur baby! I am full of love to give for animals. My full time job is caregiving so I’m the kind of person to place others needs before my own, but I do prioritize my health so I’m always in tip top shape for whoever/whatever needs my attention!
About: My whole life I have had an abundance of animals, ranging from frogs and chickens to cats and dogs. I know about animal psychology and the care needs required for all types of animals. I'm currently a full-time college student, however I've worked out a schedule to have ample time to take care of your furry friends. Currently my free all days of the week. While at your house I will ensure your pets needs are fulfilled in all regards. Including any playtime they may need, feeding requirements, and anything else you let me know of.
About: I have worked with many different breeds such as pit bulls, boxers, mastiffs, golden retrievers and many more. Each had their own unique needs and personalities. I am willing to work with any breed even with special needs. I have experience with many different animals not just dogs and cats. I have worked with horses, bearded dragons, a few birds and a few more. If your animals needs care i will do it. I have a dog of my own and a bearded dragon so pet care is in my everyday life and so your pet is not much different. I can not board animals in my home cause i have a high anxiety senior dog so bringing any animal in to my home will not work but i will definitely stay at yours cause its a comfort thing for them. Its there own home. It not fair to kick them out of their own home. I have worked with animals for 3 years and been around them my whole life and i never had a problem and i am good at communicating with owners and i will ask questions if needed amd they can ask if needed also.
About: I have taken care of my family’s pets as well as friends and neighbors pets for most of my life because of how much I love animals. I worked in a pet grooming salon for a few years and besides leaning the skills of grooming pets, I also learned to treat their owners with the same amount of care. I am a college student heading into my summer vacation, and would love to spend more time with some furry friends. I am available any day and time of the week. I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I always have doggy treats on me in case I meet a friendly pup and I love playing with toys or just cuddling if that is what they enjoy. I have two dogs at home, both are small, one enjoys cuddling and never plays with toys, and the other loves cuddling, but would much rather chase toys that I throw for him.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for family pets, including our two Chihuahuas and my sister’s Labrador. I’ve also spent time around cats through friends and roommates. I enjoy walking dogs, playing with pets, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. My background as a supervisor and coach has taught me responsibility, communication, and consistency, and I bring those same qualities to pet care. I’m comfortable with feeding, administering basic medications, playtime, companionship, and keeping owners updated with pictures and messages. I have a flexible schedule throughout most of the day. My mornings and evenings are typically spent coaching rugby and working out, but outside of those times I have plenty of availability for dog walks, drop in visits, cat care, and house sitting. I enjoy staying active and love spending time with animals, whether that means going for a walk, playing, or simply providing companionship and care while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves patience, attention, and a safe environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from owners. I prioritize safety by keeping dogs leashed during walks, making sure doors and gates are secure, and paying attention to each pet’s comfort and needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was little I have loved animals and have always seemed to have a special connection with them. I've grown up in the area so I know it well. I used to volunteer for the local humane society when I was younger which kick-started my passion for wanting to help take care of animals. It was this passion that got me to pursue a career in the veterinary field. I've been working in clinics for the past few years taking care of healthy and sick pets. This experience as well as some medical background helps me take care of my own cat and dog at home, and I'll do the same for yours. Currently working full time, both morning and evening shifts. Between my wife and I we make sure our pets are fed and go out for potty breaks before we leave for work. I have a partially fenced yard on 5 acres to keep your pup active and happy. They will have my own dog to interact with and keep it company.
About: I grew up on a farm taking care of dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, horses, and cows. I love all dogs but especially small dogs. My last cat was a rescue who lived to the age of 21. I personally provided iv fluids for the last 2 yrs of her life and am comfortable with meeting the needs of senior animals. I have also raised puppies and love playing with them! Currently I cannot have pets where I live so I watch my moms queensland heeler and play with my sisters German Shepard almost daily. Since my 20 yr old cat passed I have not owned another pet......yet :) I super flexible and can do whatever is needed to meet your needs. It's important to me that you feel confident that your fur baby will be pampered and treated with love and respect.
About: For over 3 years now I have had the wonderful opportunity to be a full time sitter for all sorts of wonderful animals with beautiful personalities. I have met dozens of dogs, sat bunnies, cats, birds, and reptiles. Before that I spent my entire life loving and caring for animals😊 My schedule is extremely flexible, so my availability really depends on the needs of the animals. Any time of day I am happy to hang out with some awesome pets!😊 I am happy to hang out with your animals in whatever environment they prefer. For example, if a dog loves to be outside, you bet I will be out there all day with it😊 I always do my best to follow rules and instructions given to me by the client; The pets happiness and safety are my #1 priority. My time is completely oriented around the needs of the pet I am sitting. So if they are up and about all night then I can be up and about all night. If they are lazy, I can be too. All that matters is that their needs are being met above all else😊 Safety is my number one priority when it comes to pet sitting. Beyond that I also prioritize the special instructions, needs, and concerns of my clients. For example, if your fur baby needs medication and to be supervised while they go outside, I will make it my mission to do so to the client's specifications.😊
About: I have been a pet caregiver since I was a very small girl. I have helped Mama's deliver babies when needed. I have even done mouth to mouth and chest compressions on new horns a few times when needed. I have a huge heart for pets and animals of all kinds. My family of pets are trained either to alert me to go potty, use a box or crate themselves. I am able to give medication as needed and bathe if needed. My children are PET TRAINED. I have very strict rules in place about all animals big or small. I really hope you consider us in your upcoming needs. Happy New Year! I am always home except for appointments which we can discuss and decide if on those days I can meet your pets needs or if another sitter is better. I do not smoke in my home. I have 4 children, all pet trained and pet friendly. I do not have a large or fenced yard BUT I have an absolutely amazing park that abuts to my house so there is plenty of opportunity to run and play. I am at home all day for the entire week so I am able to keep a good schedule for my fury clients. I don’t have a problem with med or potty schedules. I listen to their needs. I watch for cues to hunger or need to potty. I feed and walk my pets or clients pets. When they need bathed I handle that as well. Medications in my house are no problem at all as over the years I’ve learned a lot about injectable and oral medications. I’m not the master for certain but I try my best to be your pets next best friend while I am with them.
About: I've owned dogs since I was 8. Almost 20 years. I've done all my own training. I've trained puppies, administered shots and medication to senior dogs and cats, and everything between. I also have knowledge with rodents, cats, horses and other farm animals. I work 3 12 hour shifts Friday through Sunday. I get home around 6:30 those days but drive in the Yamhill/McMinnville area so stopping in for a quick walk or dinner wouldn't be a problem at all. My schedule Monday through Thursday is completely wide open for walking, drop ins, or pet sitting, however I will not be able to pet sit Thursday night through Sunday. I have 5 dogs who are get along very well with other dogs once properly introduced. They range from 25 to 65 pounds, most of them are very active. I have extra kennels but I also have a designated dog room with a comfy couch that two of my five sleep on at night. I live on quarter of an acre with a fully fenced in yard.
About: Since I was born I have had dogs in my family and friends, I've grown up with all size of dog and age of dog. I took care of my puppy and taught her how to potty on a potty pad if needed and I took care of a senior dog that couldn't walk far before being tired. I work the weekends in the health care world but love animals on the side! I don't have any dogs of my own due to my family dog which was mine has separation anxiety and I couldn't move her from my childhood home to a different state. The days i have nothing planned on are Sunday,Monday,Tuesday, and half of wednesday. Well it always will depend on the situation and dog! I always treat pets in my home like my own! I myself wouldn't want someone to not take care of my dog any different than they take care of their own.

“Whitney was warm and welcoming, and Zoey loved her and her dogs!! Whitney communicated with me and sent me pictures of Zoey during her stay which gave me peace of mind! I will use Whitney again! 😊”
“Connie was wonderful with our kitty Expresso. It was a worry free experience. She kept me updated with pictures and text messages. I would definitely use her again for my cat sitting needs. Highly recommend!”
“We threw a small superbowl party at our home. Floki does not do well with guests stopping by, so we searched for near by dog sitter to watch him for the evening. We met with Jordan a couple weeks prior to dropping Floki off. He did well with him and his son. Jordan sent pictures throughout his, putting our mind to ease! The picture of our dog with his head on his son's lap was PERFECT! Like I said, he doesn't do well with strangers stopping by so this made both of us very happy receiving this photo! Floki is a very energetic dog and he was tired when he came home. Jordan took Floki for 2 long walks which was not expected but appreciated! He went above and beyond previous sitters!!! So grateful to have found him! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Oh and another thing that we must mention, he got along with the other dogs he cared for; out of the norm for Floki! We're definitely going to use him for future events.”
“Christina is communicative, flexible, and caring. Our dog was feeling a bit nervous in a new environment and Christina did her best to support our dog while we were away. When we picked up our dog she was happy and healthy! Thank you, Christina!”
“Günther and Helene had a great time at Tawna & John’s house! They have their own sweet pup, Layla, and during our stay, there were other dogs too, so G & P had fun playing and got some good socialization. There is a nice run and a big field for playing fetch. We enjoyed photos too! Lastly, we had a hiccup in our plans, and Tawna & John were very understanding and worked with us to arrange an early pick up time that worked for everyone. We would definitely return!”
“Mickenzie is wonderful. Good communication, responds in a timely manner. Her home is well kept and tidy and I appreciate the efforts she makes to keep germs from spreading as I have a young puppy. Would recommend her!”

“Angelica and Bruce took great care of our dog for the weekend. It was really clear from the moment they met our pup that they love dogs. They took him on tons of walks and gave him plenty of attention. We felt extremely comfortable he was in great hands and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a dogsitter in the area.”
“Christina was fantastic! We're from CA and have 2 border collies that we needed to have someone babysit for 2 nights while we were in the area. Luckily we happened to see her listing. This was the first time they've ever spent time somewhere else. Her updates and pics definitely set my husband at ease. We highly recommend her!”
“Hailey was wonderful. She and her family took great care of our pup while we were away and updated us frequently with daily activities and photos. From the meet and greet to the pickup it was obvious he was in good hands and got all the love and attention he deserves! She was attentive, kind and respectful, plus her dog was friendly and a great playmate for our dog. Highly recommend Hailey, we hope to board with her again!”
About: Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets for nearly two decades. My attention to detail never goes unnoticed and I am confident in my abilities to comfort your pet(s) by making them feel special and safe! I have experience with all kinds of creatures — dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents/ferrets, fish, and waterfowl, at all stages of life. Yes, even your beloved seniors. I’m a parent/caregiver to a child with disabilities and while that does not affect my ability to care for animals, it can limit some of my time due to my child’s day-to-day needs, appointments, etc. I update my calendar accordingly to reflect my availability. With that said, most of our appointments are virtual or in-home and I am a stay at home mom so I still have plenty of time for pet care. I have a large fenced in yard for dogs and I am always nearby supervising. I allow pets on furniture and treat them just like my own when I’m watching pets in my home. Instructions regarding potty breaks, feeding, kennel time, medications, etc., are always followed if given.
About: Caring for animals comes naturally to me—I have a soft spot for every paw, whisker, curly tail and tiny personality. I’m patient, attentive, and deeply committed to making pets feel safe and understood. I know how important it is to trust someone with your companion, so I treat every pet like they’re my own, giving them comfort, consistency, and lots of love. My goal is simple: happy pets and peace of mind for you. I have owned pets my whole childhood and still raise two of my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home for most of the day, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, supervision, and consistent care. My daily routine is very pet-friendly, with plenty of time for walks, play, feeding schedules, and check-ins throughout the day. I have one child in elementary school and a younger child at home with me, so our days are structured but flexible. This means pets are rarely left alone and can be part of a calm, family-oriented environment. I’m mindful of each pet’s needs and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and included throughout the day. I understand the level of trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. Every animal has their own comfort level, so I approach each one with patience, attentiveness, and respect for their boundaries. I focus on creating a safe, low-stress environment where they can feel secure and at ease. I’ll provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. I also like to keep pets mentally engaged with simple games, basic training reinforcement (if you’re working on anything), and sticking to their normal routine so they feel secure. Of course, I’ll always follow your instructions and your pet’s needs—whether that’s high-energy fun or a cozy, low-key day at home. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can see all the fun we’re having.
“Steven and his partner were great with Parker (who can definitely be a handful at times) but they said he did awesome during his stay. Parker had so much fun with them and his two dogs Shasta and Jasper. They even took videos and photos for me to see how he was doing. Parker didn't want to leave he loved them and I'm sure he had so much fun while I was away. 10/10 recommend and will definitely use them again anytime I need a sitter for Parker in the future.”
