“Ashlyn was great! She made the the dropoff so easy, and we had no issues. She was great with sending pictures, and eased my worries big time. This was the first time we've left our little guy in someone else's care, and I was very nervous, but she did a fantastic job walking lots and taking care of him. We would definitely have her watch him again 😁✋”
“Jen was awesome, obviously loves dogs, sent us pictures of our pup and kept us updated the whole time. Our pup basically had a fun vacation, would definitely use Jen again.”
“Another wonderful stay for Cheddar!! He absolutely loves being with Vivian and her family and they love him just as much!! It is very clear how much care and attention they give him and send lots of pictures throughout his stay with them! We will continue to board him with Vivian any time we are out of town. Thank you again!!!”
“Repeat customer!! Gary is so great with our senior pug. He goes above and beyond and has so much compassion. Being a senior pug he gets finicky with eating at times. Gary spoon feed him as we sometimes need to do at home and thought of other creative ways to hmget him to eat. Gary will treat your furbaby as if they are his own. We highly recommend Gary.”
“Melissa is an angel! She is incredible with all dogs and so accommodating and kind, even with some very short notice help we needed. Our senior dog loved her and her yard, I cannot recommend her enough, we are so happy we have found her for future sitting.”
“Excellent experience! Boarded a 5 year old Siberian Husky for 9 days and the service was flawless. Lindsay has the family atmosphere and accommodations to support any and all breeds! We will definitely use Lindsay in the future. A kennel is a prison(23 to 1 lockdown); give your baby to Lindsay!”
“Jessica provided the best care for our puppy. She sent pictures throughout our trip and went above and beyond to give us peace of mind for the days we were away. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“Ashley gets 5+ stars! Highly Recommend. Our pup was so calm when we came to get her; we could tell She got lots of attention and love. Ashley was super easy to work with.”
“Renae took such good care of Nash while I was on vacation! She updated me every day and treated him as one of her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and I will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“My booking request was super last minute because my previous arrangements fell through, and Augusta was originally not available but reached back out to me later on to tell me she would be able to if I still needed it which I greatly appreciated! She was great with Bobble and communicated very regularly about how he was doing!”
“Carol and her whole crew of pups are wonderful! She took to my two pups like they were her own! We could relax on our vacation knowing they were in the best hands. Thank you!!”
“Lucia was able to accommodate my last minute boarding request for my puppy. She's communicative, flexible, and provided a very welcoming home. I received multiple photos a day and even came back to a groomed dog. I would recommend Lucia!”
“Always wonderful! This is a family that truly loves dogs and treats them like family. With Brittany, I have complete confidence that my dog will be well cared for.”
“Coralee takes care of our two dogs during the holidays and treats them like part of the family! We are so grateful to have such a kind, reliable caretaker for our fur babies while we are out of town”
“This was the 2nd time Nicole watched Pepper for me, this time it was for a couple of days. She takes such good care of him, treats him like he’s her own little guy. Nicole is amazing!”
About: Hi, I'm Angela! I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by dogs, and I truly believe a home isn’t complete without the sound of four paws on the floor. I recently said goodbye to my beloved Pit Bull, Bia. She was my world, and I want to treat your pup with the same devotion, patience, and affection that I gave to her. My fiancée, Lauren, and I have her two dogs 2 weeks out of the month and they are great with other dogs and love to make friends! I work from home during the day and am a dance teacher in the evening. Between the two of us we have flexibility most of the day for house visits, walks, boarding, and daycare! I work from home during the day and my fiancée is home in the evening so we have a flexible schedule to give your furkid lots of love and attention! I have a large backyard on a quiet residential street and 2 sweet dogs part time who love to make friends! I have the ability to crate dogs of all size in my home and will not accept dogs from multiple families at one time so your baby will be spoiled!
“Victoria was amazing! She sent videos twice per day, which made us very happy. The communication with her is really good. Our shy little Koda was clearly comfortable with her and the dogs, and even came to her for pets, which he doesn't do with anyone other than me and my husband. He also came back clean and brushed very well. We are very satisfied, Victoria will definitely be our first choice next time we need to travel! Thank you for everything! :)”
“Kim has a special touch when it comes to dogs with anxiety and are over protective. I never thought I would find someone to watch my Max. They had a successful weekend with more to come!!!! She was profoundly and caring. Max cannot wait to see her again!”

“We had a great experience with Ashlyn! This was our first time leaving our kitten and we were a bit nervous but Ashlyn did wonderful with her! We got updates and pictures every day and her communication was perfect!”
“Christina took wonderful care of our two adult cats and kitten! We struggled to write this review, not because of anything bad, but because we want to keep Christina all to ourselves for our future kitty sitting needs. However, we can’t be selfish so rest assured you are getting a top-notch person when booking her! She communicated so well and made us feel at ease while we were out of the country. We will definitely use Christina for any pet sitting we need in the future and we will highly recommend her to all our family and friends.”
“Gary is so sweet and personable! He dropped in to check on our two cats while we were away, and we are so grateful for his kind care. Even though our cats are shy and we jokingly said he’d probably never see them, Gary sent us a photo of evidence our one cat had been making himself at home on the dining room table lol! We will definitely be asking Gary to take care of our cats again and recommend him 100%”
“Rachel took great care of all 4 of my cats! She spent time with them and gave Jake his meds, no problem. She's got a great attitude and attention to detail. I'd definitely use her again.”
“Erin took care of our cat Esther and was wonderful. She was able to give Esther her medicine with no problems and was a great communicator. We'll definitely be having Erin watch our cat again, highly recommended!”
“Olivia is great and very accommodating! I asked for her help last minute and she didn’t hesitate to step up. I have 2 cats and they both love her. I know she also has a pet dog of her own and has had pet cats as well. She is a natural with animals and we appreciated her help.”
“Kaleigh really stepped up when the previous sitter canceled without even so much as a message. She obviously has a history of working with dogs. She was informative and easy to contact. I would definitely recommend and will keep her at the top of my list next time I need a sitter.”
“Mary is absolutely wonderful! She was able to fit me into her schedule last minute and did a great job taking care of my babies while I was out of town. She was very attentive and followed care instructions carefully. She sent me photos and updates which were so sweet to receive while being so far away. Mary even let me know when I ran out of treats and I was able to reorder and have them delivered by the time I was home. Definitely will be reaching out for future needs! Thank you Mary!!”
“Becky delivered like she always does, taking time to follow all directions and that keeps our minds at ease. She plays with our two kitties, which helps take away the stress ok them while we’re away. We are booking Becky again definitely.”
About: I come from a house where pets are treated like family members. From bunnies to horses, Ive had experience with many. I can also administer medication. I have my own organic dog treats business and I will take care of your babies as I do my own! I am currently working a full-time from home with my pups. I have a big fenced backyard where the dogs can have some outdoor time and we love going for walks. I have two small dogs that are very friendly and a doberman! They are super playful and love other dogs. I work from home full-time and my office is where my pups are. They are spoiled all day long. My dogs are very friendly and love to play but if at any point they need a little break, there is plenty of space for one on one time! I have a fenced backyard where they spend some time and a door that connects to my office so they can choose when to be inside or outside.
“Jess was great! She did a great job with communicating a meet and greet and all the details about the drop-ins for my cat. She really made me feel comfortable he was getting all the cuddles and attention he needed :)”
About: I have been taking care of cats since I was 10 years old. I've had cats and kittens throughout my life and have tended to stray cats in the neighborhood, giving them food and shelter. Experience cleaning litter boxes and giving flea and tick medicine.
“Very friendly and thorough - checked on all our cats and ensured litter was clean, and food and water were filled. Also checked on the couple feral kittens living out back. Everyone happy and taken care of while we were away.”
About: I've been taking care of cats and cat sitting since I was about 13, for neighbors, friends, and family. Additionally, my family has three cats of our own! Their names are Onyx, Mabel, and Casper. They are all rescue cats as well. I feed them, change their litter, and play with them every day.
“Have met and used Emily several times with great results. Happy to answer all the good questions she asks and never thought to ask ourselves. Very nice young lady, clearly enjoys spending time with our fur babies and understands their needs. Would highly recommend.”
About: With over 5 years of dedicated pet care experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and affection to every furry friend I meet. As a proud owner of three German Shepherds, two of whom are rescues, I understand the unique needs and joys of every pet. Your beloved companions are in safe and loving hands with me. I work from home with a flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to give pups the attention they need - whether it be a quick visit or a neighborhood walk! Safety is my number one priority when it comes to your pup! I aim to make sure that your pup is safe with me whether it be in a fenced in yard, on a lead, or on a walk!
About: Over the course of my life, I’ve owned seven different types of pets, from horses to cats and dogs and others in between! This pet care experience that started in early childhood has led me to appreciate, understand, and know how to handle different furry family members’ personalities. In addition, I have pet at for various families in my community, all of whom had various pets with different needs and temperaments. It would be my honor to care for your pet and give them the treatment they deserve as part of your family. I am currently a college student with a fairly flexible schedule, with availability throughout different parts of the day. I am able to provide pet care throughout most days of the week in general! I am willing to abide by and uphold any of your standard practices for your pet! The last thing I’d like to do is disrupt your pet schedule or routine, so I will do everything in my ability to follow your standards to the letter.

About: Animals have been a passion of mine my entire life! I have owned and loved cats and dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 10. I would love to show that same love to your babies, too! I am available to do in-house stays, walking, play dates, and much more! I work full-time, but work from home so that makes it easy for me to care for your furry friend. My weekends are usually filled with playing with my puppies, but I would love to make time for your pets to join us for walks or play dates! I have a fenced in yard and an open floor plan home that allows for plenty of room to play, rain or shine. I live on a quiet street that makes walking your pet a breeze. All doors remain shut in my home to ensure no nosy pups can get in to things that they should not. I am big on taking pictures and can keep you updated on the status of your pet to ensure you feel comfortable with leaving your pet in my care!
“Kim took care of our 3 pups while we were in town for a family reunion. It was good to know they had a safe place with a fence to play in while we were doing our thing. She was kind, brushed them and attentive.”
“I brought my two fur babies to Pittsburgh, PA to be with me while I attended my class reunion. I found Ms. Carol on Rover. Immediately when I saw her face I knew she was the one I could trust my babies with. Ms. Carol, I’m so pleased to have met you. My babies were safe, looked after as if they were hers, attended to when needed, but most importantly, welcomed into her home by her fur babies.”
About: While I am currently unemployed and staying at my parents home, our family dog (Havanese) of 17 years recently passed away in February 2026. Now that my mother is retiring this summer, we wish to fill the empty home, and our combined newly gained free time, with some furry friends! For in-home boarding we will be a mother-son team with pretty wide open schedules to care for our furry guests, and will provide a great big house and yard in a great pet-friendly neighborhood for them to enjoy! I can also sit at your home if that is more convenient for you and the pet. My parents dog recently passed away at the age of 17. While I was living with them I helped to raise and care for her throughout the years. I thankfully and gratefully have always had dogs to care for throughout my entire life, from as a young child all the way to just recently with the passing of our most recent dog in February 2026. Your pet will have our full attention and their health and happiness will be the priority. We don't live very busy lives and have lots of extra free time now to care for them.
“Jessica was so great! She was very accommodating to me needing to drop Noodle off super early in the morning and sent me pictures & updates throughout the day. Highly recommend & will definitely use again! :)”
About: I have been watching animals as my full-time profession for over 12 years. I am very loving, nurturing, patient, trustworthy, organized and dependable, which helps me succeed in my speciality of watching the animals out of their homes. However, I do have a very friendly shih-tzu in my home that allows me to watch dogs in my home as well. Half of my yard is fenced in, and the other 1/2 has two leads in case there are dogs that may need separated. I also will walk them daily for exercise. At the meet and greets, I go over a plan where we set the number of hours I can be gone for my walks and visits, and I work within the time frame requested. However, if your pets need let out, fed, etc any where under six hours, I will need to adjust my pricing. I have to honor my regular customers as well. I have worked with all sizes of dog, administer medications, insulin injections, seizure experience, and am known to be very strong, and able to handle the larger breeds. I also have worked with dogs with severe anxiety issues, abused dogs, puppies and blind/deaf elderly dogs. I hope this helps you decide in your search for your furry family members. Please reach out to me for your animals care needs. Barks and Meows, Sandy This is my full time job so I have plenty of time to care for your animals. I set up an allotted time I can be gone and work within those limits. At my home I have two leads in my large yard, or they can be walked daily if needed. I never let them outside on their own. At your home I follow your instructions so that their safety is protected. This is my full time profession, so my rates maybe slightly higher than some, but I leave the dogs very minimally. I gave more time to spend with your animals. I have a large yard with 4 leads. Also half of my yard is fenced in. They are never left outside unattended. Will provide daily walks as well if needed. Someone is always home with your dogs but could be crated if needed. At your home if I watch your animals, I am very trustworthy and follow directions to a tee. I respect your home and leave it the same as when I got there.
“Valerie was terrific! She treated our little Hattie like her own and provided routine updates with pictures. We've already scheduled our next Doggy Day Care!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have the ability to be able to stay home with my family and my pets and care for them during the day and night making sure no one is ever alone ❤️ Currently a stay at home mom caring for my 5 year old and 1 year old twins! With being home I have all the time in the world to dedicate to your fur babies. We love adventures like playing in the fenced in yard, throwing ball and going on long walks. Of course there is always love and cuddle time scheduled in with us too We bought our house for our yard! Lots of room for playing outside in the safety of not having to worry about your pets roaming off. We have a crate available for dogs who need it and are crate trained. Of course only if the owner request will they be in it.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have taken care of many of the neighborhood pets with walks pet sitting and some Slight grooming. I am experience with special needs babies. I have given shots and can make sure an animal will take their pill. They are something that I love and I’m hoping to be able to turn this into a full-time career. I work from home and my position allows me a lot of time to work on other things. I will be able to take care of your baby at any time. I have a decent sized backyard that I have a strong wire fence and my house is pretty big which I allow them to have the run. I have cages if necessary but only if the babies want that.
About: I have taken care of two of the most precious weenies for the last 10 years. While their owners traveled the world I walked and cared for them. I would love to be able to experience new breeds and also get outdoors since I love fitness and exercise. As a former bikini competitor, and gym rat I crave everything fitness. Can’t wait to meet some new 4 legged friends!!! Wednesday afternoon, Saturdays and Sundays are best. I am a full time medical assistant the other days. On my half days and weekends off I enjoy anything outside and absolutely love parks to explore! If you’d ask my husband I go above and beyond with pets! 😆 I am a little high maintenance when it comes to care. I currently only have hens, but if you’d ask anyone they live in the Taj Mahal of coops
“Beatriz was amazing! She sent me lots of photos throughout the day and was so quick to respond whenever I asked for an update or more photos. I’m a first-time puppy owner and she was extremely helpful with giving me tips and advice on how to train my pup. She was very accommodating regarding pickup and drop-off times and my pup had a great time with her. Would definitely book with her again! Very reliable and trustworthy.”
About: I’m a full-time professional with three years of experience teaching manners at Humane Animal Rescue, and I’m excited to welcome friendly, well-socialized dogs into my home for boarding. My approach combines safety, structure, and enrichment so your dog feels secure, happy, and fulfilled during their stay. My home is set up with safety in mind—hazards are kept out of reach, and visiting pets are supervised closely every day. I have a securely fenced backyard for safe outdoor play, and while there are a few steps, I make sure each dog’s needs are accommodated. We have a securely gated setup in our dining room where dogs can be separated for rest time throughout the day as needed, or simply to decompress if they want their own space! Rotating between my own dog and yours in this accommodated space will be a part of our routine if your dog needs more personalized attention, but only if needed. Before any stay, I require a meet-and-greet with my own well-socialized pit bull mix and cat. This ensures everyone feels comfortable and sets the tone for a stress-free visit. I also honor your preferred training methods and routines while adding daily mental and physical enrichment—sniff walks, puzzle toys, and engagement games—to keep your pup’s mind and body happy. Whether your dog thrives on quiet companionship or loves a more active, engaging schedule, I’ll make sure they feel cared for like family. I currently am a full time working professional with a hybrid schedule. I work two days in office and my husband works from home daily. Your pet will always be attended to and cared for like our own. I understand the importance of peace of mind when trusting your pet with another person. Extra attention and care is always taken to ensure pet safety, whether this be around open doors, while on walks, or any other particular needs they have.
About: I've had a strong passion for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family relied on me to care for our dogs, cats, and hamsters. I now live in my own home with 4 cat children. I have dog-sat and cat-sat for several neighbors. I am very experienced at dog and cat walking, bathing, feeding, and medicine-giving. During the week I work as a full time engineer and cat mom. On the weekends, I have plenty of free time to hang out, play in the yard, or go for walks with your pet. In my home, I have 4 cats of varying ages (1 yr, 3 yrs, 4 yrs, 6yrs). They are friendly and well-adapted to other dogs and cats. They often have playdates with my parent's 16 year old cat and 7 month old kitten. Each of my cats are vaccinated, neutered, and love making new friends! In your home, I will accommodate any requests you may have. I will ensure the safety and happiness of your pet above all else.
About: Growing up surrounded by a variety of animals—from reptiles and birds to cats, and dogs—I’ve developed a deep understanding of pet care. Over the years, family and friends have relied on me to look after their pets, trusting my attentive and compassionate nature. With my own dog, I’ve completed puppy and advanced obedience classes, explored agility training, and even participated in AKC FastCAT trials. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s part of who I am. My schedule is highly flexible, so I’m available when you and your pet need care most. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a midday walk, or a cozy stay while you’re away, I’m here to make pet parenting easier and stress-free. I have two children (ages 7 and 1½) who are gentle, curious, and adore spending time with pets. Alongside them is our friendly 4-year-old Dalmatian, who is crate-trained and well-socialized. We live on a spacious property with an invisible fence, but I understand not all pets are familiar with that setup—so your dog will always be walked on a leash for safety and comfort. I also have room for an additional crate to provide a secure space for your pet if I need to step out, ensuring their well-being at all times. Your furry family member will be treated with the same care and attentiveness I give my own.
About: I’ve cared for dogs off all types all my life. Growing up I’ve always had multiple dogs/pets from rabbits, dogs,cats, Guinea pigs, to caring and spending time with the family horses. Recently had to put my boxer down due to old age/ health issues and am not ready for another full time pet yet. That’s where me and my kids come in to watch/ walk/ play/ love and spend time with your pets while your away! I’m a stay at home mom with lots of time to care for your pet, keep your pet safe when you need it the most! I have a large front & back yard with lots of room to run, if your dog is not trained to stay I have a chain that runs the length of my yard. Also a kiddy pool if your dog likes to play in the water. Love to go walking on a daily basis and if it applies to your pet spend time at local dog parks!

About: I’m Emily! A little about me: I love to run, lift, paint, and read. I am currently a student at the University of Pittsburgh studying Speech Pathology and Audiology who’s home for the summer! I've been a pet owner myself for about 5 years now. My family currently has three cats and has had a dog and another cat in the past. Within the last seven years I have dog and cat sat for a lot of my extended family and friends. I'm currently on the hunt for a part-time job for the summer, so I have plenty of time on my hands to look after and care for pets. I also have my own car and am hanging out with friends a lot, so I am always around. I am very diligent with making sure doors and windows are shut and locked to ensure that your pets do not go in or out (if they're indoor pets/ not on a leash) as I have to do that with my own pets! I also realize as it grows hotter, animals become dehydrated and hot as well, and I am careful to make sure water bowls are filled, and there is water during walks as well.

About: I recently relocated from Johnstown to McKeesport and am looking forward to meeting all the new pups in the area! I have been dog sitting for the past few years now and absolutely love it! My family has always had dogs since I can remember. I got my first dog, Ruby, named after the children’s show Max and Ruby, when I was 4 years old. I have loved caring for dogs ever since. Ruby is even still kicking at 18 years old! I now have a second dog, a 2 year old Husky who loves to play. I’ve trained many dogs, older and puppies since I can remember. I also have a lot of experience with elderly dogs, Ruby being a prime example. We go on walks often and I have basic dog training experience. I work part-time fully from home. I make my own schedule for work so I am completely flexible. The only time I ever leave the house is to take my dogs somewhere, dog park, hiking trail, etc. I am available every day and do same day bookings so feel free to reach out whenever you need! My dogs are very friendly and love other dogs. We also have 2 cats that play with our dogs as well. I have a fully fenced in yard to give your fur baby plenty of room to run around freely and play.
“Had a last minute same day request for our 6 month old puppy Zari! Rebecca responded immediately and was able to accommodate the drop in/walk visit! Communication was excellent. We will be utilizing her again in the future.”
“Marie was amazing! She took care of my doggos. She was confident and reliable with time and my dogs. She handled them with care! My dogs were so happy to see her and go with Marie for walks. We will definitely be rebooking with Marie! She’s awesome! Also she sent lots of pictures of them which I always appreciate and look forward to, putting me at ease when I was not around.”
About: I graduated with a BS in animal science with a companion animal emphasis, obtaining knowledge/experiences through classes, labs, internships, and employment. I worked as a veterinary assistant and kennel tech throughout undergrad seasonally and for several months post-grad at 2 different clinics. I also worked as a wildlife rescue & rehab intern and aquarist intern during undergrad, focusing on animal care and husbandry. Lastly, I have owned/helped care for family pets almost my whole life (including rodents, rabbits, and a dog) and have pet sat dogs and cats for family friends/neighbors on the side. I recently graduated from my graduate program and am beginning a full time gig on July 6. In the meantime, I am able to fulfill pet needs with a relatively open schedule and will attempt to continue on days off/if otherwise manageable upon my start date. I will not make myself available if the time allotted is not appropriate to truly care for your pet. I deeply care about animals and would love to do what I can, especially since I cannot have my family pup & chinchilla with me at school. I will surely abide by clients' wishes regarding their caretaking directions and preferences. I will also be mindful and respectful of being in another person's space, and clean up after myself and the fur babies.
About: Hi! I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up babysitting tons of puppies and adult dogs. I also have a so much love for them and they make me so happy. I have lots of experience with small dogs! I have a house with an enclosed big backyard as well! I will never be leaving them at home and will cuddle and be able to play with them 24/7. I currently am a student and I don’t have classes everyday or another full time job! I have a lot of time to give to these dogs. I make sure the dog is comfortable and safe. My number one priority is having them be as relaxed as possible and enjoy their day! I will always be at home which allows for regular potty breaks and a fenced in backyard as well to maximize their playing time. I have tons of experience with puppies as well!
About: I do work full-time, but am home in the evenings. I LOVE animals, but do not feel that I have the time needed to be a 'full time' caregiver. This is perfect for my lifestyle! I would treat your pet like a part of my family. I've always had dogs growing up and love having them as companions. I would walk your pet in the mornings and evenings. Looking forward to meeting you and your special pet!! I can accommodate special requests and am happy to answer any questions that you might have. References are available upon request. Thank you for reading my profile. I currently work full time, but would love to come and stay with your pet to provide day and nighttime companionship. I would adhere to the schedule for your pet and would not adjust (no people food, etc). I would let your fur babies out in the morning, again at lunch time, and would be at your residence for the rest of the day and night, starting at 4:30pm on workdays, and all day and night on the weekends. I would care for your pets as if they were my own. I take pet sitting very seriously and want to be the person that you could depend on to look after your fur family.
“Mary was excellent with my pups and very flexible! She came to meet them prior to their scheduled walk and was so thoughtful when it came to caring for them and their individual needs. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!”
About: Hi! Some things you might like to know about me: I’m a wife, I love animals (obviously) the outdoors, gardening, reading, history and I’m a nurse who graduated from Saint Vincent college - I could be a great fit for you and your pet! I’ve had many growing up: dogs, cats, goats, chickens and bunnies. I’m very comfortable with caring for animals and have experience with all different kinds from my own pets, friends, and animal shelter volunteering. I’m also open to watch and care for any other types of pets that might not fit the category of cat or dog! Message me so we can discuss! As a nurse, I only work 3 days per week! Typically one time or “on occasion” jobs work best, and attending 2x daily might not be possible if it’s on a day that i work and my 3 days that I work vary from week to week. However, please reach out anyways to see if this could be a perfect fit! I’d love to see what i could do. I’m a very responsible and organized person, so I could safely play with your dog(s) or cat(s) in your home or around the neighborhood. Being a nurse has made me much more aware and attentive of needs such as fresh water availability, food, safety and happiness for both people and animals!
“Olivia R. Is wonderful. You can tell she loves dogs. Olivia is very good with Crosby. If something comes up and you need to make a change to the scheduled walk she will accommodate you if possible. I highly recommend Olivia R.”
About: I have experience taking care of big dogs, small dogs, big cats, small cats, chickens, lizards, rabbits, and fish. I have experience looking after pets of friends and family while they're out of the house for the past 5 years. I have a great deal of patience in training and caring for animals. I'm currently available on weekends, with Fridays most preferred. I work fulltime Monday through Thursday so at the moment those days are going to remain unavailable. I believe respect for animals, owners, and their environment to be super important. I adhere to any rules and guidelines when entering a client's home and I work to provide my client's pet with my utmost attention and full energy. I am down for taking pets on walks, playing with them till they wear themselves out, feeding and cleaning up after them, and anything else they might need.
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have the ability to be able to stay home with my family and my pets and care for them during the day and night making sure no one is ever alone ❤️ Currently a stay at home mom caring for my 5 year old and 1 year old twins! With being home I have all the time in the world to dedicate to your fur babies. We love adventures like playing in the fenced in yard, throwing ball and going on long walks. Of course there is always love and cuddle time scheduled in with us too We bought our house for our yard! Lots of room for playing outside in the safety of not having to worry about your pets roaming off. We have a crate available for dogs who need it and are crate trained. Of course only if the owner request will they be in it.
About: I have loved animals since I was a small child. I got my first cat over 15 years ago and still love her dearly. My parents wouldn’t allow me to have a dog so I had to wait until I moved out when I was 20. After buying my house I rescued my neighbors dog that was permanently locked up in an outdoor kennel. Unfortunately she already had Lyme disease so it was for less than a year that I was able to give her a good quality of life. I then adopted my ex-coworkers German Shepard who was 5. Unfortunately despite all my efforts to have her live longer than her lifespan I lost her years later due to paralyzing seizures. Not too long after that I sold my house and have not been stable enough to get another dog due to my constant traveling. I love dogs and want to have another but can’t make a life long commitment at this time. However I can make a day/week/month long commitment to take care of your loved dog. It would be a pleasure to take care of your fur baby/babies. I work from home so I’m only gone for a couple/few hours out of the day to go to the gym and maybe grocery shop. I frequently go on walks when the weather permits and would love to bring your dog with me. If you have a dog who pulls as hard as they can I do prefer that you have a gentle leader. I am available all days and times when I am not traveling. I have a large yard at the end of a cul-de-sac in a nice neighborhood. I do have two cats who have lived with dogs before. If watching your loved pet I ask for details on what your expectations are to insure that you are 100 percent satisfied with my care for your fur baby.

“Ashlyn was great! She made the the dropoff so easy, and we had no issues. She was great with sending pictures, and eased my worries big time. This was the first time we've left our little guy in someone else's care, and I was very nervous, but she did a fantastic job walking lots and taking care of him. We would definitely have her watch him again 😁✋”
“Jen was awesome, obviously loves dogs, sent us pictures of our pup and kept us updated the whole time. Our pup basically had a fun vacation, would definitely use Jen again.”
“Mark took great care of our pups. They were happy and relaxed when they got home. Mark seems to really enjoy taking care of dogs. He even went to the car to say goodbye. I suspect they were spoiled while we were away and I love that. We hope to be able to stay with him again next time.”
“Andrew and Karen took great care of our little lady. She seemed to have a great time with their dog, Finn, and got lots of love and attention. We also appreciated their prompt replies and pictures.”
“Repeat customer!! Gary is so great with our senior pug. He goes above and beyond and has so much compassion. Being a senior pug he gets finicky with eating at times. Gary spoon feed him as we sometimes need to do at home and thought of other creative ways to hmget him to eat. Gary will treat your furbaby as if they are his own. We highly recommend Gary.”
“Took great care of Khoda; Spent time with him, took him for walks, kept me updated daily with photos of him, he definitely did not want to come back home lol Thank you again for taking care of my dog and ensuring his attention-needs were met. I'll definitely be in contact for future trips/vacations, I know he can't wait to come back and see his human and dog friends again!”
“Excellent experience! Boarded a 5 year old Siberian Husky for 9 days and the service was flawless. Lindsay has the family atmosphere and accommodations to support any and all breeds! We will definitely use Lindsay in the future. A kennel is a prison(23 to 1 lockdown); give your baby to Lindsay!”
“Sarah accommodated our last minute vacation plans as well as kept our dog an extra night when our flight was delayed. Very pleased and we will be using her again in the future! :)”
“Ashley gets 5+ stars! Highly Recommend. Our pup was so calm when we came to get her; we could tell She got lots of attention and love. Ashley was super easy to work with.”
“Renae took such good care of Nash while I was on vacation! She updated me every day and treated him as one of her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and I will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Always wonderful! This is a family that truly loves dogs and treats them like family. With Brittany, I have complete confidence that my dog will be well cared for.”
“Coralee takes care of our two dogs during the holidays and treats them like part of the family! We are so grateful to have such a kind, reliable caretaker for our fur babies while we are out of town”
“This was the 2nd time Nicole watched Pepper for me, this time it was for a couple of days. She takes such good care of him, treats him like he’s her own little guy. Nicole is amazing!”
About: Hi, I'm Angela! I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by dogs, and I truly believe a home isn’t complete without the sound of four paws on the floor. I recently said goodbye to my beloved Pit Bull, Bia. She was my world, and I want to treat your pup with the same devotion, patience, and affection that I gave to her. My fiancée, Lauren, and I have her two dogs 2 weeks out of the month and they are great with other dogs and love to make friends! I work from home during the day and am a dance teacher in the evening. Between the two of us we have flexibility most of the day for house visits, walks, boarding, and daycare! I work from home during the day and my fiancée is home in the evening so we have a flexible schedule to give your furkid lots of love and attention! I have a large backyard on a quiet residential street and 2 sweet dogs part time who love to make friends! I have the ability to crate dogs of all size in my home and will not accept dogs from multiple families at one time so your baby will be spoiled!
“Jimmy was at Richard's during the week of Christmas and seemed like he had a great time with him and his pack of dogs. Richard was kind, accommodating and sent pictures and videos regularly. His house has a huge yard for the pups to run around in. When I got back Jimmy was a happy, healthy and tired pup. Will surely recommend Richard and his pack to others looking for a safe and fun place to board their dogs.”
“The communication before and during the stay was excellent. It was the first time Nelia kept my pet and I received an update on the first night that Princess was adapting well: it was comforting to know it was going well. Upon pickup Nelia shared some specifics about my pet's stay and all of my pets things were together and orderly. Both the drop off and pickup was smooth. Thanks Nelia and I will definitely use your services again!”
“Jordan did an excellent job caring for Blu at her home while I was away on an extended weekend. Her qualifications speaks for itself making her more than qualified for the job. She did an awesome job me providing me regular updates on how Blu was doing to include photos making me feel at ease for it being his first time away from me and his normal environment. Definitely recommend and would trust Jordan again for future needs.”
“Victoria was amazing! She sent videos twice per day, which made us very happy. The communication with her is really good. Our shy little Koda was clearly comfortable with her and the dogs, and even came to her for pets, which he doesn't do with anyone other than me and my husband. He also came back clean and brushed very well. We are very satisfied, Victoria will definitely be our first choice next time we need to travel! Thank you for everything! :)”
“Kim has a special touch when it comes to dogs with anxiety and are over protective. I never thought I would find someone to watch my Max. They had a successful weekend with more to come!!!! She was profoundly and caring. Max cannot wait to see her again!”
