“We LOVE Megan! Our boy Blue was in such heaven the whole time he stayed with Megan and her family. We received pictures and constant contact the entire time. Hiking, frisbee, LOTS of puppy play and walks. He was in doggy paradise. We were a little worried he wouldn't want to come home! We will definitely be using Megan again:)”
“Debbie is the best sitter! My dog ,Jasper, loves to go the their house! He loves to run around in their huge secure fenced in yard and play with her dogs. She is always so great about sending pics and videos. We have been bringing our dog there for a couple years now and it has always been a great experience. She really connects and cares about our Jasper when he is there! I would highly recommend Debbie!!!”
“Dannah and her dog Elphie are the best sitters! Dannah is very communicative and trustworthy. My dog is now best buddies with Elphie. She gets lots of exercise and attention when she stays with them. I always feel my dog is safe and well cared for. Dannah sends daily photos and videos of the dogs playing and cuddling together!”
“Jill does such a good job with our Indy! He loves playing with her dogs and always comes home completely zonked from all the play. We can tell she really cares about Indy as much as her own pets, and their house feels very safe for him. I feel like I’m sending him on a vacation too.”
“If we can't have our kitties with us, we know that they will always be safe, happy and well cared for by Crystal. She is kind, cheerful, and always accommodating to our needs it just doesn't get any better than that!”

“We are so lucky to have Celestia and Ryan to take care of our senior dog Fiona. Pictures were sent several times a day easing my mind. Fiona takes medicine and I am never worried about her welfare while we are away. Thank you for always taking care of our sweet girl.”
“Alexandra has walked my dog for me in the past and just boarded him for the weekend for me too. If I could give her more than five stars- I would. She’s a sweetheart and I know my dog is always safe & entertained with her. She even went above and beyond and came and picked him up for me to make things easier. She sent pictures & videos throughout the whole weekend which we loved! I’d definitely recommend her and will always use her in the future. Thanks again Alex!!! ☺️”
About: I have been passionate about the care of animals ever since I was a child. I’ve owned 4 dogs of my own and would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby. I now have the time and space to offer my home and large, fenced-in yard to dog sitting services for your dog’s needs. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily routine. I work full-time from home, so I’m able to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My own dog, Kip, is part of a consistent schedule that includes two to three walks daily, outdoor time in our large fenced-in yard, playtime, and downtime for rest and cuddles. Because I’m home all day, dogs in my care are never left alone for long periods and are able to maintain a routine similar to what they’re used to at home. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means extra exercise, quiet companionship, or structured routines, and I enjoy making pet care a central part of my day rather than something I have to fit in around other commitments. When caring for dogs in my home, I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where they’re treated like part of the family. Because I work full-time from home, dogs in my care receive 24/7 supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any special instructions provided by the owner. Dogs enjoy two to three daily walks, outdoor time in my large, fully fenced-in yard, and plenty of playtime, enrichment, and affection. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, behavior, and energy level to ensure they feel secure and relaxed. My home is calm, dog-friendly, and well-suited for providing consistent care, whether a dog loves active play or prefers a quieter, more relaxed environment. Safety, communication, and individualized care are always my top priorities, and my goal is to make every dog feel at home while their owner is away.
“Erin is awesome. We have a Golden who gets very anxious and likes to be near a human at all times. Erin took amazing care of our dog. Excellent communication with us. Beautiful fenced yard & our dog had a blast playing with her dog. Highly recommend and have already made another booking.”
“My dog loved staying here. Best part was the fenced in yard and the fact that the dogs were allowed on all the furniture (bed, couch). Michaela is very nice and accommodating as well.”
“Rosa is amazing!!!!!! This is my first time leaving my dog with a dog sitter for a week and he did so well with her. I’m so pleased that my doggy was so well cared for and will be definitely using Ms. Rosa again ?”
“Instant karma. Bronx quickly became a velcro dog to Jen and she got roped into his boo boo eyes. He adapted to her 3 little ones (and they to him) such that they could lounge in proximity on the deck out back. Jen will most certainly be a go-to sitter for us in the future. She was also quick to accommodate my day-early departure. Thanks, Jen!!”
About: Since childhood, I have dedicated myself to the care of animals, finding immense joy and fulfillment in this endeavor due to my inherent affinity for them. Currently unemployed, my flexible schedule enables me to dedicate my time to the care of the animals. I am committed to ensuring that their needs are met. Although I do not have a fenced-in yard, I do have two dog runs. I will prioritize walking the dogs and ensuring their needs are met.
About: I've had many animals throughout my life, 7 dogs, 9 cats, and small mammals. I mostly have experience with Australian Shepherds and German Shepherds. At the moment I have two small dogs and a young cat, who all get along together very well! I love animals and I pay very close attention to them to make sure their needs are met and they're happy. I'm not the type of person to just quickly check-in on a dog and let them outside- I play with them, give them attention, exercise them. I work part time and random hours, so I wake up early to let my dogs out, then feed them at 8 and again at 4. One of my dogs is hyperactive and guards her food so each of her meals is a training session. I usually make her walk on the treadmill for 10 minutes and follow various commands while I hand-feed her meals. My animals are never alone for more than 4 hours at a time, so they get to go out many times. I don't have a fenced in yard so they are always on a leash. All of my animals are friendly towards other dogs, cautious with cats. My apartment is somewhat small, so I would prefer to work in a client's home. In that situation I would stop in as many times as the client prefers. I take my time to play with the animals under my care and give them attention. I do my best to make sure they never feel lonely.
“Liz and her family did an amazing job accommodating my Beagle Pitbull Mix Mollie ♥️. Sent lots of pictures and we're flexible with travel delays. I could tell she had a great time and was in safe, welcoming hands ✨♥️”
“Hopper had the best time! He loved being with Amy and Milo so much, he jumped out of the car and ran back to their house. Amy and her daughter were wonderful with our baby. 100% recommend them to watch your babies! Will definitely book again”

“Camryn was amazing 🥲! She took so many pictures and cared for my babies just like I would. Meet and greet made me more than relieved to be leaving my cats in good hands. Would absolutely book her again and have already recommended her to others.”
“Chance was amazing!!! He took the initiative to schedule a meeting with my cat, Howie, before the weekend so Howie would be comfortable with him. Howie is shy but loved Chance - he was so good with cats and I would 10000% use him again.”
About: My experience with cats includes providing consistent care such as feeding, grooming, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I am attentive to their behavior and needs. I have 3 cats of my own with each their own personality traits!
“Beth has been incredibly loving and patient to my 2 cats when we were away from home. We enjoyed our vacation knowing that Beth stayed in with my 2 cats to take care of them. She treated my cats as if they were hers, provided them with utmost care, and spoiled them. She even let them use her own ipad so my cats could play the mice hunt in her ipad. She would update me everything whether they are sad, or not feeling well. But, she would reassure me that she would do her best to make them comfortable and eat and drink. I am now at ease that I found an amazing and trustworthy sitter if I have planned vacations next time.”
About: I've had 9 cats throughout my life, the oldest lived up to 20. I understand when cats need their space and I let them come up to me at their own pace. I love playing with kittens and I especially love caring for senior cats. I have housesat for cat owners in the past and I make sure they have everything they need.
About: In the past I have volunteered a Forever Paws Animal Shelter as a cat room specialist. My job was to complete health checks, socialize, feed, groom, and clean the cats, as well as maintain the cleanliness of the rooms they dwelled in. I actually met my cat there! We created such a strong bond that I had to take him home and we have been inseparable since! I have also volunteered in a cat veterinarian clinic in the past, administering oral medications and helping handle.
About: Cats scare me, and they know it. That being said, I like the little stinkers, and I'll talk to, and pet them all day if given the chance. Though, I am not willing to administer medication to cats.
“I contacted Montana for Drop in Visits for my two high energy dogs. She communicated clearly, was wonderful with the pups, got them fed, walked and spent time playing with them. I got great photos and updates throughout the visit. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over three years and truly love spending time with animals. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets like family. I’m attentive, reliable, and happy to make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away.
About: I’ve owned cats since I was a kid and I have helped out friends and family with watching over their animals, but have never actually done it as a job but I love cats. I have two cats of my own and would love to be able to help take care of your cats when needed.
“Madison was very attentive to my requests and communicated well throughout the booking! The adorable pictures of my cat and detailed daily updates were a nice touch. I would definitely book Madison again in the future!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ottawa
“Dannah is very attentive, caring, and welcoming. I especially appreciated her ensuring proper introduction to allow the dogs to get comfortable. Dannah goes above and beyond to care for the wide range of exercise needs and health conditions of her own pack regularly and extended that to my iggi pup. Already booked again!”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful caring for our pup. She watched our boy for the day and I never had any doubt that he would not be well taken care of. Melissa is a great communicator and sent pictures and updates throughout the day. Would highly recommend if you are looking for someone who is reliable, kind, and a dog lover.”
“Our dogs were well taken care of and you can tell Tracey really loves animals. We would definitely use her services again. Our dogs got a couple walks in during their day with her, and she kept us updated during their visit. 10/10”
“I am very particular with my pup and her safety and I never feel nervous bringing her to Megan's place. She exercises her well and having other pups around helps to socialize my pup! Megan is top notch when it comes to help with training as well! She stays familiar with the rules I have for my dog and makes sure my dog is following the same rules in her home. Since my dog has been taken care of by Megan, she has learned how to walk better on a leash, learned new tricks and also reacts better with other dogs. Megan is extremely knowledgeable about dogs. This is the best doggy daycare I could ask for, perfect for any pup that doesn't want to be left at home, wants to learn new tricks, needs some or a lot of exercise, needs socialization with other dogs, needs some mind stimulation and much more. For all that Megan does, this doggy daycare is an absolute steal for the price!!”
“Jill was amazing! Delilah had so much fun with her and her fur babies, Riley and Kalliope. Very responsive and received lots of photos of Delilah enjoying her time there. Would recommend Jill for anyone needing someone to care for their fur babies, as they will be cared for like her own.”

“I’m very pleased with the service I received! Linda was very responsive and was able to accommodate my last minute request. Leo was very friendly and instantly befriended my dog. My dog was well taken care of and even went for a walk in the snow! She had a blast and they sent me lots of pictures. I would definitely use her again to dog-sit if I am in the area.”

“I was overjoyed to hear that Emily was still available to sit my pups given the state of our world with the COVID-19 Pandemic! While working remotely has its advantages and disadvantages, one of which covers both: pets at home surrounding you when working, a blessing and a curse. Fortunately, by Emily's willingness to watch my dogs for a doggie day care and play date with her dogs gave me the needed relief from them and the necessary exercise for them. It worked out perfectly! While following CDC's guideline of 6-feet apart, not entering her home, and neither of us ill, I feel the day was a great asset to my remaining sane through this challenging landscape we all find ourselves in. Thanks, again, Emily! My pups love visiting and I love visiting your menagerie, too!!”

“Many thanks to Alexandra who put my mind at ease while I was on a day trip in a city away from home. She came to my hotel and walked my dog for me. I was nervous to hire someone to enter my hotel room but she really reassured me when we met. And I came back to the hotel to a very happy pup! Thanks so very much!”
About: I've had a plethora of animals over my 35 years of existence. Dog breeds include a Labrador, Border Collie, Beagle, German Shepard, and Chihuahua. Other species include six rats, one guinea pig, three rabbits, two corn snakes, and a bearded dragon. I do not have any children, and I'm living with my father. Together, we have two dogs, (one his, and the other mine), a garage cat (his), and a bearded dragon (mine). His dog is a German Shepard named Wren, and mine is a Chihuahua named Milo. Additionally, I quit the job I've had for years, so I have a fairly flexible schedule. All of our animals have schedules for everything. Potty breaks, food times, etc. We keep it fairly strict, but also know how to read our animals, and so the schedule is subject to slight changes. I can adapt, and learn new schedules for clients.
About: Large Animal Science graduate, have completed the vet tech, dog grooming, and agility courses at BCAHS. Experience with diverse/exotic animal caretaking rolls, canine cpr certified, lots of experience with difficult dog breeds. My schedule with work is very flexible. Usually I tend to walk my dog for a 1-2 hours a day. It is extremely important that my dog Nala gets exercise each day to make sure she stays happy and healthy. Sometimes I also take my cat on the walks as well (he loves spending time outside with his sister with his harness and leash on!). Weekends have much more flexibility with my schedule. It is extremely important to make sure that any animal feels comfortable in their environment. Giving them the opportunity to take bathroom breaks and keeping pets on their normal schedule is very important. Giving pets access to fresh drinking water, specific foods, and medications as needed is also crucial. Providing proper exercise and mental enrichment only helps to further improve an animal’s experience in their surroundings as well.

About: I had only dogs for many many years and absolutely love dogs! I then moved abroad for the past 12 years and due to living in a building which allowed no dogs I decided instead to invest in a kitten.. Here we are, years later and I've become rather cat crazy! We have 4, 3 of which we brought with us all the way from the UK to love with us here in Danville. I love how each cat carries their own personality, likes, dislikes and quirks and I have learned to be patient a great deal thanks to these little flurries of fur. I also once owned rabbits, chickens, peacocks, fish, a squirrel named "Giblet" and spent time around cows and pigs as well. Animals give us warmth and love, be it a cozy chihuahua or a frowning lizard and I love them all! I am new here in town and wish to establish myself as a carer and guardian of your pets when you need a hand. I genuinely will love and cherish them in the short time I might spend with them.. Their safety, happiness and calmness are important to me and I will give all my devotion to them while in my care or in your home. I hope to be here for you anytime you need.! We have just moved here from the UK in mid 2024. Our 4 cats are the biggest part of our lives and as I work from home I am so attached to them! That freedom can also allow me to care for your pet as well and love them as if they were my own while you are away! For now I have decided to offer myself up to visit your home when you wish to feed, walk and play with your pets as well as those necessary litter box details if you have cats.. I am honest and dependable with a deep love for animals and for being kind and gentle. I won't just feed them and leave.. Whether you have dogs, cats or any other animal, I will spend some time with them, make sure they feel safe and warm and be your eyes and ears during your absence. I would be thrilled to send you photos or video or even a live face to face call with your pets. I am a southern boy raised by strong southern women and I absolutely will respect your home, property and pets. In the near future I will also offer a boarding option as well after I've settled in here in Danville. I am willing to travel a but out of the area if you need as well. Other services I will consider providing are house sitting your home with or without pets. I am flexible and truly well meaning and respectful and hope to become your "Go-To" Guy!

“Nicole has watched Koba 3 times and always available even at the last minute, she takes good care of Koba and very reasonable if you need an extra few hours or day. Would recommend all day”
“We are so lucky to have Celestia and Ryan to take care of our senior dog Fiona. Pictures were sent several times a day easing my mind. Fiona takes medicine and I am never worried about her welfare while we are away. Thank you for always taking care of our sweet girl.”
About: I have been passionate about the care of animals ever since I was a child. I’ve owned 4 dogs of my own and would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby. I now have the time and space to offer my home and large, fenced-in yard to dog sitting services for your dog’s needs. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily routine. I work full-time from home, so I’m able to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My own dog, Kip, is part of a consistent schedule that includes two to three walks daily, outdoor time in our large fenced-in yard, playtime, and downtime for rest and cuddles. Because I’m home all day, dogs in my care are never left alone for long periods and are able to maintain a routine similar to what they’re used to at home. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means extra exercise, quiet companionship, or structured routines, and I enjoy making pet care a central part of my day rather than something I have to fit in around other commitments. When caring for dogs in my home, I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where they’re treated like part of the family. Because I work full-time from home, dogs in my care receive 24/7 supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any special instructions provided by the owner. Dogs enjoy two to three daily walks, outdoor time in my large, fully fenced-in yard, and plenty of playtime, enrichment, and affection. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, behavior, and energy level to ensure they feel secure and relaxed. My home is calm, dog-friendly, and well-suited for providing consistent care, whether a dog loves active play or prefers a quieter, more relaxed environment. Safety, communication, and individualized care are always my top priorities, and my goal is to make every dog feel at home while their owner is away.
“Erin is awesome. We have a Golden who gets very anxious and likes to be near a human at all times. Erin took amazing care of our dog. Excellent communication with us. Beautiful fenced yard & our dog had a blast playing with her dog. Highly recommend and have already made another booking.”
“My dog loved staying here. Best part was the fenced in yard and the fact that the dogs were allowed on all the furniture (bed, couch). Michaela is very nice and accommodating as well.”
“Instant karma. Bronx quickly became a velcro dog to Jen and she got roped into his boo boo eyes. He adapted to her 3 little ones (and they to him) such that they could lounge in proximity on the deck out back. Jen will most certainly be a go-to sitter for us in the future. She was also quick to accommodate my day-early departure. Thanks, Jen!!”
About: Since childhood, I have dedicated myself to the care of animals, finding immense joy and fulfillment in this endeavor due to my inherent affinity for them. Currently unemployed, my flexible schedule enables me to dedicate my time to the care of the animals. I am committed to ensuring that their needs are met. Although I do not have a fenced-in yard, I do have two dog runs. I will prioritize walking the dogs and ensuring their needs are met.
“Hopper had the best time! He loved being with Amy and Milo so much, he jumped out of the car and ran back to their house. Amy and her daughter were wonderful with our baby. 100% recommend them to watch your babies! Will definitely book again”
“Emily was awesome. Got back to me right away abd was just so easy to work with. Parker had so much fun playing with her puppy and was exhausted (in a good way) when we brought her home. Emily sent photos and updates and was super flexible when our timing changed. I highly recommend her, as we will definitely be using her again.”
“This was my first time ever leaving my puppy and I couldn’t have asked for a better puppy sitter! Madison was so thoughtful and caring— sending updates and pictures to help ease my own separation!! She was attentive, patient, accommodative, energetic, and it’s clear she loves dogs! I would highly recommend her and I will definitely be using her again soon!”
About: I've raised both of my dogs since they were puppies and understand how important consistency is. I enjoy learning about each dog I meet and discovering ways to connect with them. Dog hugs are just a plus! My pet care availability will typically be before 8am and after 4:30pm during the week. I would also consider overnight bookings during the week. Weekends, I am typically available at all times day and night. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. I live in an area with a great walking trail and a dog park we can visit. I also have an available crate (Large) with a dog bed and plenty of dog food/treats to share.
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of our girl! Julie updated us daily with pictures, videos and texts while we were on vacation. We had complete peace of mind, knowing Pepper was in good hands for the week.”
“Linda was able to accommodate my request for a dog sitter on short-notice despite it also being on a holiday. She was prompt to respond and put my mind at ease at the meet and greet. Multiple updates were sent throughout my dog’s stay and it was clear that he was enjoying himself and well looked after. He had another doggy playmate that he had a blast with. I felt very comfortable having my dog in her hands.”
