“Luna had a great time during her week with Megan and Vincent! When looking for a place for Luna to stay I was worried about finding a place where she wouldn’t be sheltered constantly. Luna had freedom to run and play all week while also being able to play and be around other dogs! I received numerous pictures and updates throughout the week while away.

I would absolutely use them again and Recommend them for dog sitting or day play dates!”

“Beauty and her pack are wonderful! I can’t recommend Beauty enough to any pet owner! Our dog Freya had an amazing time and Beauty was very flexible when our plan changed to a later pick up time.

“Paul was fantastic! Five stars isn't enough. He was extremely prompt, kind, and thorough with his communication from our initial request through pick-up. He took incredible care of our two boys and treated them like family. They were safe and comfortable. We received regular text and photo updates throughout their stay, and it was wonderful to see how much fun they were having. They even came home with a goodie bag of treats! His compassion and genuine love for animals were evident in every interaction. We can't speak highly enough of Paul and are so grateful for the exceptional care he provided. We'll definitely be using his services again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter.”

About: Hi, I’m Olivia! I’ve loved animals since I was a child and have spent years caring for both my own dogs and the pets of family and friends. I began my pet care career as a groomer, where I gained experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. Whether your dog needs someone gentle and patient or an energetic companion for long walks, runs, and playtime, I’m here to help. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, including those with health conditions such as seizures, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. My yard is equipped with 2 acres with creeks and waterfalls running through, I will make sure to keep your pup is fulfilled. I’ve also trained my own dogs in basic obedience, including commands like sit, stay, and heel, and I’m happy to reinforce your dog’s training during our time together. Your pet will be treated like family while they’re in my care. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy until you’re back home! I’m currently unemployed so I will have all the time in the world to play with your babies. Play time is full time around here! I have lots of toys and fun activities to keep your dog happy and engaged. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or simply providing companionship, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like family and strive to provide a fun, caring, and stress free experience.
“Gwendoline was wonderful! Our pup Mae had a wonderful time running and playing in the snow with the other dogs! Gwendoline was very attentive and responsive! We would definitely use her daycare services again!!”

I’ve had all breeds of dogs and have even had senior dogs and special needs dogs I just got out of the army and have the time to care for all your animals needs. For boarded dogs, we have a fenced in yard and two couches that are strictly for the dogs. For drop-ins and walks, your pets will be my new friends!! I have a fenced in yard and a kennel if needed.

“Zeus had a great day with D and all her animals. He doesn’t get to spend much time with new dogs so it was great for him. He came home very sleepy. D was very inviting and put us at ease while watching Zeus by sending pictures and updates.”
About: I was raised as a child with pets - fish, cats and of course dogs. Growing up we had 2 Irish Setters a Chihuahua and multiple cats. As an adult I started off with just having multiple cats and then began to have dogs enter my life again. I had a very loving Pit Bull for a short period of time and a few years later I adopted a Boston Terrier who is now 13 years old. In addition to my senior dog, I now also have a 1 ½ year old Boston and 1 senior cat. I never had children so these are my kids and my extended family. I do everything I can to ensure they have a loving home and are well cared for and I will do the same for your four-legged kids :) With a lot of patience I have been able to do a few simple commands with my dogs. I have experience with potty training a puppy and also have extensive experience with senior dogs as my senior is currently half blind, has incontinence issues (at times) and has trouble walking. I currently can be home during the day and am usually home in the evenings and on weekends. When I know im pet sitting i stay home so my focus is on your pet. I spend a lot of time playing, walking and giving love to my pets. I will do the same for yours. I have a large unfenced yard but also have a dog park nearby that i utilize. My pets are on a regualr feeding schedule and I will adhere to any directions or special needs you may have,
“She was wonderful with our two dogs. She offered to make our dog, who had a belly ache, some broth. She sent pictures throughout the day. Overall great experience.”
About: Animals have always been my world. As an only child, my pets were my very first best friends, teaching me early on how deep the bond between humans and animals truly is. For 35 of my 40 years, I have never been without a furry companion.Aside from being a happy wife of 25 years, my absolute biggest joy in life was raising my three daughters alongside a constant, loving flock of family pets. Now that my girls are all adults, I am dedicating my time and heart to expanding my pet care circle.Over decades of pet ownership, I have developed a deep expertise in handling a wide variety of animal personalities, ages, and medical needs. I am equally skilled at engaging in high-energy playtime with energetic pups as I am providing the patient, specialized care that senior pets and puppies require.This expertise comes from a very personal place. I am the proud pet parent of a handsome Pomchi who manages IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease). Caring for his unique daily needs has given me specialized, hands-on experience in medical management, gentle handling, and strict care routines. I understand how to read an animal’s body language, adapt to different temperaments, and provide a safe, tailored environment for pets who require an extra-gentle touch.Honestly, if you ask my family, they might tell you I sometimes love pets more than humans—and they might be right! Cats and dogs offer a pure, uncomplicated love, and I mirror that right back to them. I know how heavy it feels to leave your babies with someone else. When your dogs or cats are with me, they become a true extension of our family, receiving the exact same unconditional love, professional attentiveness, and spoiling that my own pets enjoy. Because my children are grown, my days are completely open and focused on the home. I do work full-time remotely, but my job provides immense flexibility. I am not tied to a rigid desk setup; rather, my schedule allows me to step away at a moment's notice to tend to animal needs, monitor playtime, or provide constant, frequent potty breaks throughout the day. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my workday.My days are naturally structured around consistent, high-quality care:Morning Structure: Early morning potty breaks, fresh water refills, and structured breakfast times. This is also when I administer any morning medications or specific physical therapy routines before I log into work.Active & Attentive Afternoons: While I work, your pet is right by my side. Mid-day is reserved for tailored care. For high-energy guests, that means dedicated backyard playtime and quick brain games between my tasks. For puppies, seniors, or special-needs pets like my IVDD Pomchi, this time is focused on gentle companionship, scheduled rest, and closely supervised, frequent potty intervals.Evening Wind-Down: A reliable dinner schedule followed by relaxing, low-stress evening cuddles. I perform thorough wellness and comfort checks on all animals before bedtime.Since I manage a strict care routine for my own pup while working, I am incredibly time-disciplined. Whether your pet needs a yard break every hour, strict medication intervals, or just a constant, reassuring human presence while you are away, my remote work setup gives me the perfect flexibility to provide it. Because I work full-time remotely with excellent schedule flexibility, my care philosophy is centered on constant supervision, emotional comfort, and strict routine adherence—whether your pet is staying under my roof or I am visiting yours.Here is how I tailor my care to each environment:🏡 In My Home (Boarding & Daycare)Spacious Outdoor Areas: I am fortunate to have a large front and backyard, giving your pets plenty of secure outdoor space to sniff, stretch their legs, and burn off energy throughout the day.A Safe Environment: Inside, my home is set up to handle a variety of animal needs. Because I care for my own handsome Pomchi with IVDD, my space is highly optimized for safety, gentle movement, and comfort.Constant Companionship: Since I work from home, your pet will never be left alone for long stretches. They will spend the day right by my side, enjoying free reign of the common areas, frequent lap snugs, or resting comfortably in a designated quiet space.Frequent Potty & Play Breaks: My flexible schedule allows me to step away at a moment's notice. High-energy dogs get frequent, supervised yard play sessions, while puppies or seniors get the constant, hourly potty breaks they require.🚗 In Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-In Visits)Respecting Their Safe Space: I understand that many pets (especially cats or senior dogs) feel most secure in their own environment. When I care for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their exact comfort zones, favorite sleeping spots, and hidden nooks.Flawless Routine Replication: I treat your house rules as law. I map out your exact feeding times, specific walking routes, and medication schedules. Because I am used to managing strict medical and physical routines for my own dog, you can trust that your pet's schedule will not miss a beat.Remote Work Mobility: For overnight house sitting, I bring my remote work setup with me. This means your pet still gets the benefit of a constant human presence, mid-day companionship, and frequent attention without me having to leave them alone for an 8-hour workday.Home Security & Updates: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean and secure. You will receive consistent updates, detailed notes, and plenty of photos so you have total peace of mind while you are away.
About: I've trained (self taught) and cared for furr babies since I was 15 and have had various pets since the age of two! I specialize in caring for canines with separation anxiety and canines with vision issues. I enjoy basic command training (self taught) and giving your pup the extra love and care needed while you're unable to be with them! I’m a professional dog sitter! This is my full time career adventure! Your pup will enjoy leaded walks, controlled environmental play time, and a cozy home (mine or yours) with all the attention your pup could want or need! I do not have a fenced in yard, but your pup will be safely walked with a lead on our two-plus acre lot or on local trails! Controlled environmental play time is offered to pups who are trained to listen off lead!
“Amy & Patrick are such kind and considerate sitters. Dusty is high-energy as well as picky when it comes to people she likes. It's obvious she loves spending time with them from her excitement when I drop her off. Amy taught Dusty to "drop it" which even her professional trainer and I couldn't manage. I have complete trust and peace of mind leaving my pup with them.”
About: I have 14 years of Veterinarian Technician experience. Your pet (best friend,child,baby) will be in excellent hands and be cared for as if they were my own. I am very observant so you can rest assured if anything were to need attention with your pet I would recognize it immediately. Caring for animals is my passion and what I love doing! I'm experienced with special needs pets and senior pet care, administering medications, special feedings, injections, treatments, etc.. Your pets needs while you are away will be met to keep them comfortable and happy. I especially love senior pets they are my favorite and have a special place in my heart for them!

“Billie is lovely and fantastic with our pup. She is super to work with and we look forward to having her help out whenever one or both of us are traveling!”
About: I've always loved animals and am fascinated with their care. I have trained my own German Shepherd Husky as well as dog-sitted for a variety of restricted breeds. I am currently attending college classes in the mornings so I can perform tasks before class and the full day after. I also drive for Uber Eats so I balance both positions. I will ask lots of questions about your typical care of your pet prior to taking on the animal to ensure their routine remains the same. I am slow in introducing myself to animals, by letting them sniff and be comfortable before engaging.
About: Rest assured you beloved pet is good hands with me. Our HUGE backyard has a 5' fence to keep your pet safe. Even the most anxious pet will be at peace in our backyard. Our patio is also covered so during the "dog days" of summer, your pet will have it made in the shade! Daily walks/runs are the highlight of your pets stay. We have endless acres to walk nearby so your pet will get plenty of exercise. I also offer pet massage & grooming for an additional charge. (BCMT-HHP, NREMT) Your pet may not want to leave after their stay with us :-). Beauty, Norm and “Mickey“ About this sitter: Feel free to get in touch with me about any of your pets needs & concerns. Namaste, Lynn "Beauty" B., NREMT-BCMT, HHP Why I love dog sitting I've been dog owner & lover since childhood. I've worked with award winning breeders, trainers & kennels from coast to coast. I'm the Past President of the German Shorthair Rescue Society of So. CA <gsp dash rescue dot org> & my husband Norm of almost 28 years was Past Vice President. He's also a life long dog owner & lover too. Meet my pet: "Mickey” (German Shorthair Pointer) is waiting to make new fur-ever friends with your pets.

There is also a large shaded area that attaches to the house for the "dog days" of summer. Your pet may not want to go home after staying with us. :-) My experience administering medication Yes. I've had quite the experience dealing with dogs in need. One of our dearly departed GSP "Becca” had neurological issues & needed a variety of medications. With out these, she wouldn't have had a longer life. It was a blessing to be able to help her live longer by giving her her daily medications. Mickey is our fur baby! Everyday is an adventure and we wouldn't know what to do without him. Daily meals, walks, play time, potty breaks and cuddles are our everyday events. We make sure your pet becomes part of our family pack. Special dietary needs and medications are also addressed with your pets needs. I’m retired and a stay at home doggie mom.

We feed twice a day (7am-ish and 5pm-ish) If you’re pet needs more specific meals and times we’re more than happy to accommodate their needs.

I feel I can tell how/what dogs want, they call me the dog whisperer. Just want all dogs/animals to love me :) We now adopted 3 kittens in the last 6 years since they always find us. Let me care for your dog/cat while you enjoy yourself. I have had other animals, not just dogs, as I care for animals in general(fish,guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, birds, cats). I have always been the dependable Neighbor and was always asked to watch the neighbors animals while they were away. I know how hard it is to find a caring person to watch your pet, instead of a kennel. I also have had to give my first dog insulin shots 2xs a day, also have given her medicine daily. Also give medicine/supplements to my current pets. Let me be that person.
About: I've taken care of pets for as long as I can remember, from farm animals to rodents, cats and dogs, reptiles & fish and even a deer! I've taken care of senior pets and very young pets! Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine because I work part time - a couple hours a couple days a week. Other then that I'm home with my 19 month old baby boy who is excited to meet your pets! I do have my front yard fenced in but it is not the whole yard. I have a big back yard with a field behind! I can crate your dog if needed or just let them hang out with me while they’re here!
“I am very thankful for Cheyene was amazing with my dog Bonnie! She is reliable and her professionalism, her genuine love for animals. Well trusted dog walker and definitely be calling her again. Thank you Cheyene! :-)”
About: Surrounded by dogs my whole life, I’ve always connected deeply with anything furry. If I could play with dogs all day for the rest of my life, I will find a way. I’m a student who likes animals more than people. My schedule is pretty flexible. I would love pop in visits or walks with your pup of any breed. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for about 5 years and if I win the lottery I’m adopting 200 dogs from every shelter within a 50 mile radius. Skills would include the ability to connect with dogs, play for hours, snuggle and give medicine when needed. Im also great with cats, plants, chickens, and ducks! Im available during holidays. Nature is a big part of my life so taking your doggie outdoors would benefit the both of us! Currently, I am working online so my schedule is flexible and I should be available to accommodate your needs! Located primarily in the southern end, the closer you are to me, the more flexible I can be. With a calm approach, I always take the animals safety and well-being first. Ensuring their comfort with me above all, I can meet any particular need your pet may have.

“Luna had a great time during her week with Megan and Vincent! When looking for a place for Luna to stay I was worried about finding a place where she wouldn’t be sheltered constantly. Luna had freedom to run and play all week while also being able to play and be around other dogs! I received numerous pictures and updates throughout the week while away. Megan and Vincent are very responsive to messages and were extremely flexible with drop off and pick up arrangements. I would absolutely use them again and Recommend them for dog sitting or day play dates!”

We will be using them again and referring our friends too. This was a trial overnight for longer stays in the future. I loved that they suggested this. Highly recommend!”
“Krista and family are amazing! Our Boston loved his time there and it was such a relief to know he was in good hands. We incurred a medical emergency that overlapped with our time to drop our Pup off and pickup. Krista could not have been more accommodating to our family.”
“Vicky, her husband and her family are an awesome family. She never disappoints me! She loves my babies and takes very good care of them like they’re her own. She’s a diamond of a dog sitter.!! The most important thing is my dogs ……they love her and her family and their dog and my dogs get along Great! … This is the third time they’ve been to her house and the first time was 10 days while I was in Rome!! I can’t say enough good things about her! I completely have confidence while I’m gone that my dogs are being taken care of just like I would take care of them! Plus, the price is incredible for peace of mind while you’re gone from your babies is incredible. She keeps me at ease that my dogs are happy and taken care of!”
“Deanna is such a great dog sitter! She and her lovely family took such great care of Romee. Romee had walks, plenty of playtime—just a perfect situation. Knowing Deanna was taking care of Romee allowed me to truly relax and not worry a bit while I was out of town. I’ll be rebooking with Deanna! Absolutely recommend.”
“Amy took excellent care of my dog. She was very nice and welcoming. She sent pictures of my dog and communicated well. Would recommend her and her husband to anyone!”
“This was our first time booking with Amy. I’m always nervous to leave my dog with new people, but Amy and her husband were very nice and reassuring. Made me feel at ease leaving him with them. She sent me pictures thru out the stay which I loved. He seemed to be pretty happy there and had a good time. He loved the fenced in yard. We would def take our Charlie back there again.”
“This was the first time I had a sitter watch my dog for an overnight stay. I was nervous but after communicating with Melanie and during the meet and greet I was put at ease. While Shiloh was staying with Melanie and her family I was completely comfortable. Melanie provided daily updates via txt, pictures, and videos and was extremely responsive to my questions/comments. I will definitely use Melanie again and highly recommend her.”
“Alexis did an amazing job watching Gunner and Luna! She kept us updated the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind.

“Genalind is reliable, trustworthy, and incredibly caring! Her and her family watched our pup - Hershey - for 10 days and provided excellent care.

Hershey was so happy and content when we got home. 10/10 service—we will definitely book again!”

“What a great job Beauty did! My dogs were wonderfully cared for, she stayed in touch sending me pictures. And for an additional (quite fair) fee, she groomed them both and they look terrific! I heartily recommend Beauty!”
