“Michelle was available in a pinch and took on my two senior yorkies. One of which is mostly deaf and requires 2 medications twice a day. Both dogs came home happy and healthy. I liked that she sent me photos of them sleeping on her couch, just like they do at home. It's nice to know they lived as part of the family and not stuck in a cage at a boarding facility.”
“I can’t thank Michael enough for the amazing care he and his family gave to my fur baby Snuggs. She’s truly my everything, and leaving her is never easy—but I had complete peace of mind knowing she was with someone who treated her like family. And the pictures and updates were so comforting. Michael went above and beyond to keep her happy, comfortable, and loved. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable person to care for their pet. Thank you again from both Snuggs and I. You are a blessing”

“Great people, great family. Stella was treated with the same love and attention that we provide her daily. They were very flexible and sent lots of pics to let us know she was ok. Their standard of care was exceptional.”
“Emanuel was incredible with our 2 dogs. We booked him very last minute when our other sitter bailed the night before a 3 week work trip for us. Our girls attached to him immediately and it made us feel so much better! He took a ton of pics and videos and sent them to us multiple times a day. Gave feeding updates and genuinely cared for our dogs.”

“Yoko and her husband are exceptionally sweet and welcoming. From the moment I dropped my dog off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands.

You can tell they genuinely care, and that gave me a lot of peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”

“Kim was incredibly concerned about my dog, Laila. I neglected to inform her about my dog’s open wound, and she kindly offered to take her to my veterinarian. That’s the kind of caring and attentive caregiver I look for, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a great caregiver.”
“Very friendly and communicative. Sent photo updates. Very quick response time. Oakley seemed so happy to be there and got along with her family well. My dog had an uncharacteristic accident (pee) over night and Ana handled this without issue or frustration. She helped Oakleys settle in and feel comfortable so this didn’t happen again!”

“Kailey took wonderful care of our cats, Noodle and Marius! She was communicative and detailed, sent us a surplus of pictures and videos each day, and cleaned up a couple of unexpected messes.

We’d gratefully have her watch our kitties for future trips.”
“Jessica was great with our cat! She sent plenty of pictures, took time to talk to and interact with our cat, and let me know about her personality while we were away. We would definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends pets as requested for over 9 years. I have taken care of a mix of small to large dogs of a variety of temperaments. I have my own dog who is 4. I am experienced in the puppy stage so if you need help through those tough first months, I’m your gal! I keep a very tidy home due to having a young and adventurous pup of my own, so you’ll never have to worry about your pup getting a hold of something they shouldn’t! I currently work from home full-time. Working from home allows me to easily host pets in my home to watch, play and care for them with ease.

On my lunch break I like to spend at least 30 minutes outside giving my dog time to walk around, sniff and get some play time in, and I’d be happy to do that for your pet too! I have a 1 acre fenced in back yard. I have a sweet 4 year old furr baby of my own to keep your dog company during the day. If your dog is shy or gets over stimulated I can easily separate from my dog for breaks.
“Michael came over to our house 2 times a day to feed our 2 Rottie shepherd mixes and let them out to use the bathroom. Him and his family were so great with the dogs! Our dogs are incredibly happy and looked like they had the best time ever in every pic! Michael came over in advance to meet the puppies and get an idea of what we needed, which I really appreciated! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our babies. If you are on the fence about who to select and reading everyone’s reviews like I did, I can say Michael was great and we will be recurrent customers for sure and plan on rebooking him for future travels we have coming up! Thank you so much again Michael and family! Our puppies are so happy!”
“Gwen took excellent care of my 16 year old cat Polly while we were away. Polly is a sensitive cat and it can take some time for her to warm up to new people. Gwen had no problem giving Polly her liquid oral meds in our absence. I was able to have peace of mind during my vacation knowing Polly was in good hands.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. When I lived with my dad, we had 2 chihuahuas and 2 pit mixes. I’ve also had bunnies, fish, and birds. I’ve taken care of a chinchilla for a friend. I also used to have a guinea pig named Asher! I am experienced with different animals. I am self employed and have school online for real estate at my own pace, so I am free pretty much any day and any time unless I have an appointment that day! Then I can work after! I can either be a cuddly companion and or play with them by playing fetch or taking them out on walks! I will make sure to keep the house nice and clean while I stay in the home of my clients!😁
“I'm so incredibly glad I found Deanna. My cat has a long and complicated medical history, including multiple pills and therapies (even an inhaler). On top of that, I'd never had to leave her home alone before. Needless to say I was WORRIED. But Deanna knows her stuff!!! She took excellent care of my baby and now I never need to be worried about overnight travel again. I will without a doubt rebook house visits with Deanna again (and again and again).”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a child. My parents owned 10 acres and I helped care for dogs, pigs, rabbits, birds, sheep, goats and more. I currently own a four year-old golden retriever who I have trained since a puppy, and I am currently beginning training for him to become a Therapy dog so he can bring joy to others, as much as, he’s brought to me. I have been a physical therapist assistant for over 15 years and I am looking to focus more on my family who is getting older and the more important things in life. I’m also looking to find a new path with animals, which is why I am available daily with notice to ensure there is comfort for myself, my dog and for you and your pet as well! I have a 2 1/2 acre yard, it is not fenced so I would need to know if your dog needs to be on a leash or is trained to stay by command. My dog Oakley is four years old, trained by commands and is extremely friendly and has never had any problems with another dog. I sadly cannot take cats because he is scared of them. I am home 24/7, so I am able to be there for all their care, especially if younger and needing to be let out more often or if older and need medicine given at certain times. I have a crate if needed that could be used for small, medium or large breeds.
“Very nice family. They provided the highest level of attention to my pet. They were versatile and adapted their schedule to accommodate our Stella. Stella loved going to stay with them.”

“Mike was fantastic. He watched our boy while we took a rafting trip nearby. He made me immediately feel at ease knowing he’d take great care of our pup. He’s also in a great neighborhood that I’m sure dogs love to walk. Highly recommend.”
“Dawn has been great! She was a great find for my Tahoe... I appreciate how she engages with my little girl, as well as sends numerous photos throughout the day. I have used more than a few "Rover Mom's" across the country...I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend Dawn. Thank you...”

This balance allows me to provide personalized attention, plenty of playtime 🐕🎾, and peaceful rest moments for every dog, while also continuing to grow my photography passion and business. Your pets will be treated with the same love and care I gave my own beloved pup 🐕❤️—a love that was abundant and unconditional. I create a safe, nurturing environment 🏡 where every dog feels comfortable, valued, and truly at home.

“Renata has been great so far in watching our 9 week old puppy while I work during the day! He comes home sleepy sometimes so we know he's getting enough playtime! We will definitely continue to use her when needed.”
“Pamela is an incredibly kind person who took such great care of my dog. I was genuinely amazed when I went to pick him up—he seemed like he wanted to stay with her, as if they’d known each other for years. It was such a profound and touching moment. I’m really grateful to have met Pamela, and I feel so at ease knowing I can trust her with my pup.”
“Lori is the sweetest person I have ever met!! She was extremely kind to not only me but my dog as well. She went above and beyond and was incredibly flexible and understanding. She treated my dog like it was her own. I will always book my dog at her place because I know my dog has a great time there :)”
“Melissa and Angel are great! They took great care of my dog Whiskey, providing walks, playtime, and plenty of pictures throughout. I will definitely use them again when I’m in the area. Highly recommend!!”
“Our two dogs seemed to be at ease with Megan during a four hour "day care" at her residence. They came home happy, tired and healthy. I think that's a good sign. I met her two dogs and found them to be gentle and well-behaved. Although our dogs were with her for only a four hour stay that day, she still somehow managed to get nice, little walk in for them! At this point, I feel comfortable with Megan and her ability to care for our doggies and would use her service again. She's very professional, cordial and accommodating. She provided quick responses every time I had questions. Thanks!”
“Mike was really great with our pup! Our 8-month-old is still getting used to going to daycare, but Mike was really patient with her. His dog is friendly and was a good playmate for our girl, and his house is kept clean. We got a lot of updates, pictures, and videos, which was appreciated! Will be rebooking in the future!”
“I am very happy with the care that Cuddles received. Astrid was very attentive to Cuddles and followed my instructions. I could tell that Cuddles was very comfortable there!”

About: I’ve been a Dog Mom for 16 years. I’ve also been entrusted to dog-sit multiple neighbors’ dogs, including a wolf/Husky hybrid named Loki; 2 “pitbull” mixes, Dicey and Scooby; and a GSD/Lab mix named Mya who has regular sleepovers at my house. I have experience giving dogs oral, drop, injectable, and subcutaneous IV medications. I take care to pay attention to the temperature outside and a dog’s needs and adjust walks accordingly (no walking on hot asphalt, make sure dogs with no undercoat are suitably dressed in cold weather, etc.). I’m a firm believer in letting dogs experience the world around them through smell, and allow them to sniff to their nose’s content on walks. If your dog is prone to pulling, please have a suitable harness available for use. (I highly recommend PetSafe EasyWalk harnesses.) NO prong, choke, or shock collars! I look forward to meeting you and your pup!! I work from home and my hours are flexible, so I am able to arrange my work schedule around the needs of you and your dog(s)! I always ensure that your dog’s collar/harness and leash are secure so they won’t slip out on a walk. I bring poop bags on every walk, and a water thermos and bowl on longer walks. Food, potty breaks, and medicine administration can all be given at drop-ins. I have experience giving oral medications, eye drops, injections, and sub-q IV drips to my own dogs, and can do so for yours as well with as much care and love as if they’re my own.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I make it a priority to keep them comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, crate routines, basic medication administration, and giving extra patience and attention to dogs with specific needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just a calm companion, I provide loving and reliable care tailored to their routine. I treat every dog like family and work hard to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their pup is in good hands. I’m currently a school teacher. So I will be available most days in the summer to care for your pet. This includes spending time with them, walking them, etc. I have 15 acres that your pup and I can explore. Mostly wooded, and does have a small creek. Your pup will get the opportunity to relax and enjoy the ability to either Lounge in the grass in the backyard or go for a walk through the woods.
“Audrey is just amazing! She’s been walking my dog for 3 months and CoCo absolutely loves her and is so excited to see her. She waits for her by the window and runs to the door when Audrey shows up. I haven’t even needed Audrey except for a couple times - but I keep her regular twice a week because CoCo loves her so much. I’ve called Audrey a couple times at the last minute or to add an extra day and she always come through for me. I could not have met a more dependable, reliable, awesome, and trusted person to walk CoCo twice a week since moving here from OH! We love her and think she is great!”
About: I have been around dogs since I was younger had many dogs growing up and now have one of my own. I have always had so much love for all dogs. I have also have had cats growing up and love them just as much to! I’m currently working part time so available days would be Tuesday Thursday and possibly Sundays or if I need to drop by once or twice on a Saturday if need be!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. When I lived with my dad, we had 2 chihuahuas and 2 pit mixes. I’ve also had bunnies, fish, and birds. I’ve taken care of a chinchilla for a friend. I also used to have a guinea pig named Asher! I am experienced with different animals. I am self employed and have school online for real estate at my own pace, so I am free pretty much any day and any time unless I have an appointment that day! Then I can work after! I can either be a cuddly companion and or play with them by playing fetch or taking them out on walks! I will make sure to keep the house nice and clean while I stay in the home of my clients!😁
About: I have had dogs since I was 12. They have always been a favorite animal of mine. My family would always ask me to watch there dogs for them when they went away.

“Michelle was available in a pinch and took on my two senior yorkies. One of which is mostly deaf and requires 2 medications twice a day. Both dogs came home happy and healthy. I liked that she sent me photos of them sleeping on her couch, just like they do at home. It's nice to know they lived as part of the family and not stuck in a cage at a boarding facility.”
“I can’t thank Michael enough for the amazing care he and his family gave to my fur baby Snuggs. She’s truly my everything, and leaving her is never easy—but I had complete peace of mind knowing she was with someone who treated her like family. And the pictures and updates were so comforting. Michael went above and beyond to keep her happy, comfortable, and loved. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable person to care for their pet. Thank you again from both Snuggs and I. You are a blessing”

“Emanuel was incredible with our 2 dogs. We booked him very last minute when our other sitter bailed the night before a 3 week work trip for us. Our girls attached to him immediately and it made us feel so much better! He took a ton of pics and videos and sent them to us multiple times a day. Gave feeding updates and genuinely cared for our dogs.”

Jahada sent pictures and videos while we were gone for a week in Florida so we could see how active and happy she was while we were away. We were afraid she wouldn’t want to leave Jahada! 😆 we will always request Jahada! We are so appreciative!”
“Yoko and her husband are exceptionally sweet and welcoming. From the moment I dropped my dog off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. They kept me updated throughout his stay with messages, photos, and videos, which I really appreciated—it was clear he was having a great time. You can tell they genuinely care, and that gave me a lot of peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”

“Kim was incredibly concerned about my dog, Laila. I neglected to inform her about my dog’s open wound, and she kindly offered to take her to my veterinarian. That’s the kind of caring and attentive caregiver I look for, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a great caregiver.”
“Very friendly and communicative. Sent photo updates. Very quick response time. Oakley seemed so happy to be there and got along with her family well. My dog had an uncharacteristic accident (pee) over night and Ana handled this without issue or frustration. She helped Oakleys settle in and feel comfortable so this didn’t happen again!”
“Megan and her family gave both of our pups the best company while we were away on vacation! They came home exhausted from all the playing and fun they had! She made it really easy to contact her and gave us updates throughout the week which eased our nerves of being away from them! Thanks again Megan!!”
“To sum it up in one word AMAZING! This was my first time Isabella has not been with me since she was 8 weeks old. Maria and her family took wonderful care of her. I got pictures and updates multiple times a day. Maria responded quickly if I had any questions. She also checked with me prior to doing anything we did not discuss at drop off to be sure I was ok with it. Isabella had such a wonderful time I don’t think she wanted to leave lol. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”
“Matt is a great person and an awesome dog sitter! His communication was great and we are confident that our 6 month old golden, Whiskey, was safe and very happy in his care. Matt sent us pictures, and kept us looped in on how he was doing. He was super flexible about pickup since we returned a little early from our trip. We definitely know he had a blast with how much he slept right after we picked him up. We Will definitely reach out for help with Whiskey in the future when we need to.”
