“Diana did a great job of caring for my dog while I was on a long trip! She was happy when I returned, and I could tell she had been well-cared-for. She sent me plenty of picture updates of the adventures they went on while I was away.”
“Hanlan was absolutely wonderful!! This was my first time needing a sitter, and I couldn’t have been happier. My two babies had such a fun time. Hanlan was extremely flexible, and was great at communicating. Definitely will be using her again when the next time comes.”
“Excellent dog boarding experience! She was very responsive, kept me updated with photos throughout my dog’s stay, and was incredibly kind and caring. It gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend her and will use her services again!”
“Cassandra and Trevor were absolutely amazing with my daughter’s dog, Leo, while she was hospitalized. He required a great deal of personal care because he does not have the use of his back legs and is missing one eye due to previous abuse. Cassandra and Trevor sent daily photos, videos, and updates, and spent a great deal of time hand-feeding him and carrying him to where he needed to go. When we picked him up, Leo was one. alert, clean, and happy little dog. Thank you so much, Cassandra and Trevor!”
“Jason and Lindsay & their boys were available at a moment's notice when my schedule sitter fell through. They provided Rosie with attentive and loving care, and I would absolutely trust them with my sweet girl anytime.”
“Linda and Bobby were great dog sitters. This was a first for us and our dogs. Linda and Bobby kept us updated and sent pictures of our pups daily- which we really appreciated. I would definitely have them watch our doggles again! Thank you 😊”
“Rebecca was amazing. She was flexible when we were running late for the drop off. She was very communicative. The facility was very clean. She also provided us with pictures of our happy dog hanging out. This went a long way toward leaving our dog with someone new.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care our senior pup, Daisy, received! From the very beginning, Julie was communicative, professional, and is clearly a dog lover. We got regular updates and photos that made us feel at ease while we were away. It was clear Daisy was relaxed and spoiled during her stay. We came home to a happy, calm pup & we would 100% rebook again. Thank you Julie :)”
“This was Ziggys first time staying with Nadine and he was so excited and ran up the stairs to her front door. He must have remembered Nadine and her fur babies from our meet and greet. Ziggy seemed so happy after his weekend with Nadine. Her backyard is amazing. We’ll definitely book again!”
“My husband and I would highly recommend Stan to care for your fur baby! I admit I am a helicopter dog parent! I immediately felt at ease when meeting Stan and viewing his pet friendly home! He has put so much thought into creating a dog friendly yard for the pups to play and relax. It was obvious he has a love of animals and a vast amount of experience! He will be our go to person for our big fur baby! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟”
“Allison is extremely kind and friendly and she did a wonderful job taking care of our dog for a week. He can be a little anxious in new environments but from the first time we met Allison I think he picked up on her tremendously calm and welcoming personality, making him seem much less anxious while at her house. Her house felt very comfortable and she has a large fenced back yard for dogs to enjoy. We’ll definitely check Allison’s schedule should we need a dog sitter in the future and would not hesitate at all having her take care of our dog again.”
“Jennifer was great with our Hercules! We felt very at ease that our guy was being taken care of while we were away. Thanks again & will definitely rebook!”
“Shannon and Matthew are so kind and caring. My dog seemed very comfortable in their home and yard. They provided updates and photos and she was very happy when I picked her up. They even gave her a walk so she would be relaxed for our somewhat long drive home. :) I know Cosi will be happy to go back again next time we have a need. ❤️”
“Marybeth was a great host! She communicated very well and provided daily updates/pictures. She was also very flexible with our travel plans. I’ll be keeping her top of mind for future boarding.”
“My dog had a blast staying with Pam! She was so sweet with him, and between that and her huge backyard, I could tell that my dog would miss his stay with her. She was communicative and sent pictures throughout his boarding, and I look forward to booking with her again. Thanks Pam!”
“Gayle took care of my dog with love and care, making sure she had the chance to do her favorite thing (fetch!) and keeping me updated along the way. I could tell by the details and photos Gayle was sharing that my dog felt comfortable even though it was her first time. It was very helpful to have had a meet & greet before booking to help get established and questions answered. Thank you Gayle & Michael!”

“It was my pup’s first time hanging with Wendy & we are very happy with her warmness & communication! I especially love the videos & pictures as it gave me ease knowing she was in good hands :)”
“Robyn is lovely and my picky, scaredy-cats took really well to her right off the bat which is unusual for them. I would definitely recommend and work with Robyn again. Thank you, Robyn!”
About: I personally don’t own cats because I am allergic to them, but I have plenty of experience cat sitting for neighbors/ friends. I took care of cats at my neighbors house pretty often, feeding wet / dry food, changing litter.
“Brittany continues to amaze our whole family with her excellent communication, compassion, flexibility, and care for Frodo and our home!! She helps Frodo feel relaxed and nurtured with love and kindness, which then makes our family and neighbors feel at ease when she’s around.”
About: I've owned cats since I was a toddler. I grew up with them, my best friend being the sweetest manx cat named Pippy. Ive owned cats my whole life- now having a tuxedo shorthair named Lucky. I absolutely adore cats as much as I do dogs. I am a cat lady, and not ashamed to admit it. I've made friends with strays, temperamental, and shy cats. I am patient and loving. I understand cats body language well. I have a full range of cat care, from kittens to seniors. I will always treat your cat as if it is my own, spoiled, well cared for and loved.
“Tiana took great care of my cat while I was away. Even though I didn’t have cell service, I knew I didn’t need to worry. She’s highly professional and I would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and I truly enjoy their unique personalities and companionship. Growing up with and caring for cats has taught me the patience, gentle approach, and attention to routine that every cat needs to feel safe and comfortable.
About: I've had cats since I was a kid, so I have experience with them as kittens and in old age, administering medication, injections, putting medicine in their food, feeding them, giving them water and treats, trimming their nails, and bringing them to the vet. I also have about 10 years of experience with other people's cats as a house-sitter and checking in on them.
About: I always shoot your animals like mine. I come to your home and make sure they’re fed watered. I make sure they’re little boxes are clean. If they need some snuggling, I’ll give them all the loving they need.
About: I have seven years of experience pet-sitting and housesitting. I have taken care of a variety of cats of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I grew up on a farm in Oregon, and I will always make sure that your cat’s needs are met and that they feel loved!
About: I have owned several cats of my own as well as cared for cats for friends and family. In my spare time I have rescued, fostered, and rehomed cats and even worked with a small, at home rescue. I did do some cat grooming and have offered my services to friends and family as well. I have experience with kittens, senior cats and cats that have medical needs too.
“We could not have been more pleased with Janelle’s care for our pets and home. She was very patient with chatterbox Edith and scaredy cat Rose. We will not hesitate to call her again the next time we travel. 5 stars are not enough!”
“Lynden was wonderful to work with -- very caring and compassionate -- and it was such a relief knowing she was making daily visits while we were gone.”
About: I have grown up with pets and even found my first job working at an animal boarding house. You could say I learned to become a professional dog walker at a young age. I have two high anxiety dogs and have been working on their social skills and coping methods to help their anxiety. I work full-time from home but take frequent breaks to let the dogs go out and play and take multiple walks a day to give them exercise. Weekends are mostly free to cuddle and to play with the fur babies. When house sitting or boarding pets I stay close so they be taken care of as needed. I keep my own pets on a schedule feeding, potty breaks and play with puzzles to earn treats. I will follow clients care guidelines to maintain consistency and keep them comfortable while their owners are gone.
“Elena is great and has been taking care of my boys for a very long time. Castle and yuma are big boys with special needs as one is extremely reactive and the other deaf and she handles them both perfectly. She is always on time and my boys love her. Only walker I prefer to use.”

About: We love animals! We especially love caring for dogs, after our beloved golden retriever passed away 12/2024. My two children (14 and 10) and I will be loving on your pets. I own my businesses and work from home! Completely flexible schedule with plenty of time for walks and play. We’d love to watch your pet. We have a comfortable, pet-friendly home in a very safe neighborhood, just two blocks from a park with plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time. Our yard is unfenced, so dogs will always be supervised and leashed outside. We do have one cat, so we’re only able to host pets who have experience with cats and are comfortable and safe around them.
“From the beginning, very responsive and helpful! They were able to handle my high anxiety dog and didn’t get annoyed by the overly long explanation I had about his dogality. Followed up with pictures and updates and my dogs had a blast! Highly recommend Cass and Trevor for dog sitting.”
“Willow was great with my reactive, anxious dog. It’s challenging to find sitters knowledgeable and capable of dealing with his issues. We felt confident leaving our dog with her and I can tell he had a good time. Willow kept him busy with activities and gave us frequent updates. We will definitely use her services again when we need daycare.”

“Cassie was great and took great care of my 75 lb Labrador retriever. We received photos and videos of our dog having a great time! Cassie was very communicative and kept us informed at all times!”
“It is best that when we need a sitter when coming into town that we contact them again. Our boys have sever separation anxiety, but see to do well. Thank you again?”
“Julie and Barry are wonderful! If we lived closer I’d always use them to care for my dog, and I’d want to have them as my personal friends! Having traveled to Portland from San Diego to visit our toddler granddaughter, we were in a bind. Our mixed-breed dog is reactive to the toddler and to the two cats who also live in the house, and that makes for a stressful visit. I wanted to get a dog sitter, but I was worried about finding someone so far from home on short notice. Our dog has a lot of separation anxiety and is rather high-strung. I started a search on Google, and Julie and Barry popped up. Trust me, you should do what I did—look no further! I knew right away that I had found a gem! Julie and Barry have a beautiful, peaceful home. They were so kind to my dog that she jumped out of our car each morning when we dropped her off and ran up to their front door because she was so excited to see them again! In short, we didn’t have any worries at all about our dog during this visit. Julie and Barry only take care of one dog at a time, and they will give your dog individualized attention and lots of love! They do this out of their love for dogs, and I can’t imagine a more perfect situation. Thank you so much, Julie and Barry!”
“Shasta and her family are very loving and caring, we truly trust her completely. Our dog Gus gets so excited about having a stay it make leaving him a boy easier knowing he just runs right into the house out of excitement!”
“First puppy daycare adventure for Dustin and it went so well! Hannah and family are wonderful communicators. Easy to find, easy directions, easy drop off/pickup and photos/videos throughout the stay. He is wiped in the best way, obviously had a wonderful time playing. Will be using them again! Thank you!”
“Kristopher he was wonderful. Juniper was happy and tired; she slept all night, snoring from all the playtime. Juniper really like Kristoper and wsa happy well cared for thank you .”
“My dogs and I love Anastasia! One of my dogs has been going to Anastasia for months. My other dog is a nervous guy and likes his alone time, so we usually leave him at home. But we decided to take him on a trial run to spend a day with Anastasia, and he made a new best friend!”
“Probably my favorite sitters ever. They were all so attentive Ghost and his behaviors and even while he developed a light allergy in his ears while I was still away, they offered to help clean them until I got back. Each day I felt safe and secure knowing he was going to be well taken care of along with getting all the snuggles and play time.”
“Sage is always well taken care of here and absolutely loves it. He comes to say hi to me when I pick him for 2 seconds and then immediately turns around and literally tries to jump into their arms because he loves them so much and wants to stay longer, which is rare for my Australian shepherd 🐾 He has also been better around and meeting strangers lately! Best day care around 🥰”
“Margaret has been wonderful. I was very anxious to leave my pup and all those worries are gone after just one visit. I feel so fortunate to have such a loving, caring and responsible person watching my little Frankie.”
About: I have two dogs ages 5 & 6, I trained both of them when they were puppies. Brewer and goose love other dogs but can also be kept separate if needed. I’ve taken care of family pets since I was young and enjoy playing with animals. I currently home full time with my two children. We pop out for go to classes in the evening but are usually home Monday -Friday. We live in 6 acres of fenced in yard. Lots of room to play and throw ball. We do have an older cat that keeps to herself. Would prefer a dog that doesn’t want to chase cats.
“Took excellent care of my high energy puppy, provided lots of pictures and videos of him happily playing in the yard, prompt and communicative. Couldn't have asked for a better person to trust with my kiddo for the weekend”

“I plans fall through that left me scrambling to find someone to help with my pup. Robyn was available the next day and came through like always. She’s the best, Kevin loves his days with her! Thank you!!”
“Ashley is wonderful! We’ve hired her to walk our two small pups midday M-F on a long term basis and we’re SO happy that we found her. She’s very communicative, kind, thoughtful and so very loving to our pups. It gives us great peace of mind knowing that our little ones are getting love and attention, exercise, fresh air, treats, play time and tummy rubs while we’re away. We highly recommend her. Thank you Ashley!!”
About: I am passionate about providing compassionate, high quality care for every animal I meet. Whether a pet is in my care or simply nearby, I naturally pay attention to their body language, personality, and individual needs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet, and I have a habit of spoiling them with plenty of love, attention, and positive experiences, while also noticing and respecting when a pet prefers to be left alone and simply kept to their routine. Along with providing excellent care, I value reliability and trust. I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone who will treat them like family, and that’s exactly what I strive to do. Spending time with animals is both calming and fulfilling for me, whether we’re relaxing at home, going for walks, playing, training, or exploring new places together. I have fostered multiple animals, helping with socialization, basic training, and building confidence through patience and positive reinforcement. I also have professional experience as a veterinary assistant, so I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior or special needs pets, monitoring for health concerns, and handling additional care such as post operative care, bandage or diaper changes. My experience extends to caring for all kinds of animals, including birds, fish and fish tanks, lizards, rabbits, cattle, and chickens. I genuinely enjoy learning how to care for different types of animals and am dedicated to giving each one the care they need. At the same time, I’ll always be upfront if a type of care is outside my experience level, so you have the opportunity to find the most appropriate care for your pet. My goal is simple: to provide your pets with a safe, enriching, and loving experience while giving you peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and earn your trust by giving them the kind of care they deserve. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! My current work schedule is with a warehouse, that being said I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a lot more pets and schedules than I expected. Please don’t hesitate to reach out same day if needed, I’ll always do my best to accept all compatible client and pet requests!! I live on a farm that is fully fenced around the entire property, there is an option to have your pet(s) meet some other pets on the property and play during the day, but I also am fully prepped for keeping the dogs separate from each other for any reason if needed. When staying at your home I am respectful of privacy and rules. I will NEVER have anyone other than myself inside your home or on the property, and I will clean up after myself as well as have the home clean when you get back. I do allow dogs on furniture at my home but will not allow it if needed.
“Oh wow!!! This is awesome. Sometimes my other walker cannot come. Wednesdays is her day off. I am hoping you can do us from now on , Wednesdays and emergencies. I am so happy with your help. ?”
About: My name is Faulkner, my partner Meredith and I do not currently have a dog but we love spending time with dogs! We would love to look after your furry friend! I have had a lot of experience caring for dogs. I grew up taking care of dogs. I worked at the Morris Animal Inn in NJ, where I walked dogs being boarded. I have experience caring for animals who need medication. As well as experience taking animals on emergency hospital visits. Every dog has unique needs. I approach each dog to match their needs. I work well with both high and low energy dogs. I am capable of providing exercise for athletic dogs. Thank you for considering me. I look forward to meeting you and your dog!
About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals ever since I can remember I love and care about all animals and would treat yours like my own! I'm a stay at home mom at the moment so I'm just looking for extra money to make so I can go out and do more things with my kids! I can definitely help leash train if that's something you would need or train in any other way I've trained every animal I've had so it's pretty easy for me!
“Alyson has great communication and very responsive! I had a last minute scheduling need and Alyson was flexible and quick to help. My dog was well cared for and looks forward to their walks. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m happy to take your pups, dogs, and seniors on walks around the neighborhoods or down to the local parks to local trails. I’m MORE than happy to load them up and take them on a small local hike though if they’re up for it and you’re comfortable with it! I enjoy walking and with my girl getting older she’s not up to as many/long walks as we were doing so I’m branching out to steal other peoples pooches for company! I’m currently sticking to weekends right now but when the days get longer I may add in some week days too. Not doing any services for dog sitting quite yet, my yards not ready and I’m not interested in house sitting just yet. Maybe in a few months!
“So sweet to ghost and super understanding of his puppy energy! Kept me updated throughout the whole experience and really made ghost’s day! Such a huge help!”
About: See my $20 Off QR Code in my photos! I love being around animals and have been around them my whole life. I grew up in generations of animal & nature-lovers. It’s a gift to be able to connect with animals. I love to return the positive energy an animal gives. I feel like every animal deserves kindness. I feel like I have a gift to be able read, understand, calm and relax and add happiness to an animal’s day. They are therapy for me as much as I feel I am for them. I’m happiest and genuinely feel most at-ease with animals. It’s important for me they feel comfortable with and around me. I know that much like human children, routine is very important to pets. If you need me to check in on them, feed /water them, potty breaks/short walks/close-by parks/play toss-the-ball, hug/cuddle/companion-time or stay at your home I am available to help. I develop unique connections to each animal I’m around and grateful to be around each one. Whatever a pet-owner needs me to do to help make their pet’s day better, I’m up for the challenge. Animals make my day, daily! Whether it be my friend’s dogs & cats or the Brahma bull that is up the road, I try to see an animal each day. I do have experience with animals that have high-anxiety, special needs and abusive backgrounds. I currently have a few tears in my meniscus which is preventing me to do rigorous walks. I will be scheduling surgery soon but that does not prevent me from tossing a ball around for a dog. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet(s)! I am looking to assist with in-home day/night(s) stays, drop-in visits and walks. I’m available anytime and look forward to meeting you & your pet(s)! Although I do have a wonderful, small fenced-in yard, I live in an 800 sq ft home therefore, I think it's best to go where the pet is most-comfortable (their own home).
“Tiana and Amir are caring and dependable. My dog warmed up to them immediately and he always looks so happy in the photos they send. I highly recommend their services.”
About: I have loved animals since I was a child. In my life I have owned four dogs and three hamsters. Pets are not just pets to me but family. Any animal with me, I treat as if they’re my own fur baby. You’ll never have to worry about who is taking care of your pet because I take great pride in my work and have a lot of respect for you and your pet. I spent a few years working with my own pets, teaching them tricks, training, and keeping them active, and moved on to working with animals professionally for the past six years. I want your dog to have fun when they’re with me! Life is too short to not have a little fun. I hope to bring that fun into your pet’s life while you’re away! I’m currently working part time with Rover as a dog walker & pet sitter. I am available Weds-Sat from 6am-7pm to provide fun & safe enrichment for your pup! I live in a townhouse within a fenced community, with one small and very friendly dog. I do not have a yard, but have plenty of space to take pups out to potty and lots to sniff. My home is spacious and I have many blankets, toys, treats, and more. I have also installed baby gates to ensure it’s a fun and safe environment for all.
“Amir did an amazing job taking care of our dog Yoshi! I knew right away from the meet and greet that he was going to be a great fit. He has a very calm energy and it was the perfect vibe for our Shiba. he was very communicative throughout the time we were out of town which put us at ease. 10/10 I would have Amir take care Yoshi again.”
“Gema was very kind and patient with my puppy and quickly got her to warm up to her and get over her new person nervousness. She was very kind on their walks and playtime. I highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”
About: I’ve cared for a lot of animals, including pets with special needs and exotic animals, through my pet care business and across a variety of pet care apps. I don’t have any animal phobias, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of species. Schedule and availability: I’m available Monday through Sunday to care for your pets. I offer boarding, daycare, house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walks, and bathing and brushing services. Policies and requirements: I’m unable to care for pets that are aggressive, destructive, or pose a safety risk to people or other animals. I accept pets that aren’t spayed or neutered, though my rates will be double my standard rate for boarding or daycare. Female dogs who are expected to be in heat during their stay are charged triple my standard rate. All pets must be up to date on routine veterinary care care, including vaccinations and flea/tick prevention, to be eligible for any services. All pets must not be sick or showing signs of illness at the time of service to be eligible for any services. Multiple pets and pet profiles: Each pet must be individually listed on the booking request and have their own profile. Multiple pets may not be booked as a single pet. If all pets aren’t accurately listed, I reserve the right to modify the booking request to reflect the correct number of pets or refuse service. Pet pictures and updates: I typically send one update and picture of your pets per day. I generally don’t send messages after 7:00 PM Pacific Time. However, you’re welcome to message me after 7:00 PM, and I’ll get back to you when I’m available. Meet and greets: Meet and greets are optional but recommended for first-time clients. If you’re skipping the meet and greet, I require detailed care instructions for your pets. Your first meet and greet is free. If you want additional meet and greets, I require them to be booked as drop-in visits. Boarding and daycare: I board pets from multiple families at the same time. Pets from different families are kept separate and are never allowed to interact with each other. Dogs will receive one last potty break before bed around 9:00 PM Pacific Time before being crated overnight. Fresh water is always available throughout my home and in the crates. I use spacious, heavy-duty, 48-inch crates because your pets’ safety and comfort are my top priority. These crates are suitable for tiny dogs and XXL dogs alike. For owners interested in boarding their pets for more than three days, I require a 24-hour trial stay before I’ll consider accepting a longer boarding request. However, I don’t require a 24-hour trial stay for boardings that are three days or less. For daycare, I provide a safe, stress-free environment where your dogs can relax and have fun. Dogs will receive playtime, walks, and plenty of attention during their stay. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, energy level, and individual needs to ensure a positive daycare experience. For boarding and daycare services, I require owners to complete an online questionnaire that contains screening questions about their pets. This questionnaire helps me determine whether my home is a good fit for everyone involved. I also offer solo boarding and daycare. Solo care means that there will be no other animals in my home during your booking, allowing your pets to receive my full, undivided attention. I require a minimum of six month’s advance notice for solo care. Solo boarding starts at $300/night for the first pet, +$10/night for each additional dog, and +$5/night for each additional cat. Solo daycare starts at $200/night for the first dog and +$5/night for each additional dog. These services must be paid within two weeks of your initial inquiry in order to secure your requested dates. If payment is not received within that time, the dates will no longer be held and the reservation will be forfeited. All payments are non-refundable once received, even if you decide to cancel your reservation. Pet pick up and drop off: If you would like me to provide pick up and drop off services, you must provide secure, appropriately sized carriers for your pets. An additional $30 will be charged for pick ups that are 30-39 minutes late. An additional $40 will be charged for picks up that are 40-49 minutes late. An additional day of boarding/daycare will be charged for picks up that are 50+ minutes late. House sitting: When I’m house sitting, I’ll stay overnight and sleep in your home each night. I won’t invite other people over, and I won’t allow other animals into your home. If I leave your home, I’ll only be gone for a maximum of four hours at a time, unless an emergency or an unexpected delay prevents me from doing so. Watering plants is free for any plants on an automatic watering system, such as a sprinkler or irrigation system. For plants that require manual watering, watering is free for up to ten plants, with a charge of +$1 for every two additional plants if eleven or more plants require manual watering. I also offer 24-hour constant care for house sitting, starting at $600/night for the first pet, +$10/night for each additional dog, and +$5/night for each additional cat. With constant care, I remain in your home for the entire stay and won’t leave at any point unless there’s an emergency. My constant care rates apply to pets that can only be left alone for 3.9 hours or less at a time. Drop-in visits: A standard drop-in visit in 30 minutes, with the option to extend it to 60 minutes. I’ll provide your pets with personalized care based on the instructions you give me, and I’ll give them as much attention as they feel comfortable with. Dog walks: A standard dog walk is 30 minutes, with the option to extend it to 60 minutes. Your dogs will receive a safe and enjoyable walk tailored to their energy level. Whether they prefer a leisurely stroll or a brisk walk, I’ll make sure they get the amount of exercise that’s right for them. Bathing and brushing: Bathing and brushing is an optional service that can be added to your booking for an additional fee. All bathing and brushing services include a bath with dog shampoo, towel drying, and brushing. Prices vary based on several factors, including the dog’s weight, coat type, and coat condition.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and respect I have for animals. I don't see pet care as just a job—I see it as caring for a member of your family. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. I believe in patience, kindness, and clear communication, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I'm happy to provide the care that's right for them. I'm also comfortable administering medications as directed, refreshing food and water, and helping maintain your pet's normal routine. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind while you're away. I'm a mom of three and work part-time in the medical field. My schedule allows me to provide dependable pet care while balancing my family and work responsibilities. On the days I work, I'm typically available after the afternoon/evening. On my days off, I have much more flexibility and am generally available throughout the day. I'm also available on weekends! If you have specific scheduling needs, feel free to reach out. I'll do my best to accommodate you and your pet's routine. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. They'll receive plenty of love, attention, and cuddles—if that's what they enjoy! I respect every pet's unique personality, boundaries, and routine, and I'll always care for them in the way that's best for them. For everyone's safety, dogs will always remain on a leash during walks unless we're in a secure, enclosed area with your permission. I'll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own, so you can feel confident they're in good hands while you're away.
About: I have been caring for animals for over 40 years and truly love being around them. Over the years I've owned and cared for dogs cats chickens goats and ducks so I'm very comfortable with different personalities needs and routines. I currently have a 17 lb rat terrier named Dutton who I've had since he was 12 weeks old. He is now almost 5 years old and absolutely the love of my life. Because of him I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and know they're being treated like family. My home is set up to be safe and comfortable for dogs I have a fully fenced backyard with a dog run, as well as a dog door so they can come and go in and out freely. I offer weekend overnight boarding and make sure every dog in my car gets attention affection and a calm loving environment. If you need longer boarding needs we can discuss that. Take care of something I generally enjoy and prioritize in my routine. During the weekdays Im home most of the day and maintain a consistent schedule at home with morning and evening care. On weekends I'm home much more and able to give pets my full attention. This is when I offer overnight boarding so your dog will have plenty of supervision interaction and a relaxed home environment. Because I have a dog door and a fully fenced backyard with a dog run dogs in my care can safely go in and out as needed I make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and treated like part of the family while they're with me. I have a fully fenced backyard. With the dog run. A dog door so they can go in and out when they please. This gives the dog an opportunity to venture into the backyard as they like.
About: I've had many pets since I was a young child. My grandparents had a farm so I've had experience with all sorts of animals. My dream is to have an animal sanctuary some day. I believe it's important to provide care to an animal in their home to limit stress and disruption to their normal routine. I have 3 dogs at home. Many of my home cleaning clients have animals so I'm exposed to all types of pets on a daily basis. Walking dogs provides exercise not only to the dog but for me as well. Providing care and a routine that the animal is used to is important to me. Communication with the pet parent is key to a successful experience with any animal.

“Diana did a great job of caring for my dog while I was on a long trip! She was happy when I returned, and I could tell she had been well-cared-for. She sent me plenty of picture updates of the adventures they went on while I was away.”
“Cassandra and Trevor were absolutely amazing with my daughter’s dog, Leo, while she was hospitalized. He required a great deal of personal care because he does not have the use of his back legs and is missing one eye due to previous abuse. Cassandra and Trevor sent daily photos, videos, and updates, and spent a great deal of time hand-feeding him and carrying him to where he needed to go. When we picked him up, Leo was one. alert, clean, and happy little dog. Thank you so much, Cassandra and Trevor!”
“Linda and Bobby were great dog sitters. This was a first for us and our dogs. Linda and Bobby kept us updated and sent pictures of our pups daily- which we really appreciated. I would definitely have them watch our doggles again! Thank you 😊”
“Rebecca was amazing. She was flexible when we were running late for the drop off. She was very communicative. The facility was very clean. She also provided us with pictures of our happy dog hanging out. This went a long way toward leaving our dog with someone new.”
“My husband and I would highly recommend Stan to care for your fur baby! I admit I am a helicopter dog parent! I immediately felt at ease when meeting Stan and viewing his pet friendly home! He has put so much thought into creating a dog friendly yard for the pups to play and relax. It was obvious he has a love of animals and a vast amount of experience! He will be our go to person for our big fur baby! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟”
“Shannon and Matthew are so kind and caring. My dog seemed very comfortable in their home and yard. They provided updates and photos and she was very happy when I picked her up. They even gave her a walk so she would be relaxed for our somewhat long drive home. :) I know Cosi will be happy to go back again next time we have a need. ❤️”
“Marybeth was a great host! She communicated very well and provided daily updates/pictures. She was also very flexible with our travel plans. I’ll be keeping her top of mind for future boarding.”
“Christine was awesome in caring for our two elderly dogs at her home!! From the moment we connected by phone, I sensed her warm, caring spirit toward animals. She sent regular updates and photos while we were away. I offer Christine the highest level of recommendation and we definitely plan on utilizing her again in the future.”
“absolutely amazing and careful with my very anxious german shepherd. my dog struggles with no people and environments due to some issues in her past and i’ve never been able to find a place where she feels safe but she has been able to stay with shasta happily. i appreciate her and her family so so much for all they do!! highly recommend!!”

“Yuting was great. She communicated daily and sent video and pics throughout our time away. Dave was exercised daily and had plenty of play time with her pups as well! Thanks, Yuting!”
“Liz does such a great job with our dog and always responds in a timely manner. He loves hanging out with all his friends while he's there and we love getting updates about how it's going while we're gone. Will definitely book again and recommend her highly. Thanks Liz!”
“Our girl Tillie Bean loves to stay with Angie and has done well with her while we are away. It is such a relief knowing she is good hands and that she is having her own special getaway with Angie. Thanks for loving our special little lady🐾”
“Jean was phenomenal! ❤️ I finally took a little time for myself and went out of town, and she gave me such peace of mind by sending updates and pictures of my very loved dog Luna. My Luna isn’t used to being without me and definitely gave Jean a little hassle 😂, but Jean was so patient, caring, and wonderful with her. I truly can’t say enough great things about Jean❤️❤️I would absolutely trust her with any of my fur babies again! 🐾❤️.”
