“Danielle was so caring and attentive to my senior dog's needs. My dog must have liked her because she even went back to say bye before getting in the car to leave which is in contrast to her behavior with other people we have had watch her in the past. I will definitely request Danielle first for future pet care needs.”
“Samantha and Ian took wonderful care of our pups while we were on vacation for a week. They sent many updates and photos while we were away. Our dogs didn't want to come home I don't think! We have tried many dog sitters and will only be using Samantha and Ian from here out!”
“Our dog raced to the front door remembering her stay with Jena and Nick from last year. She remained happy and was able to stick to her normal routines while there. Jena sent pictures and updates regularly and was good about reporting any concerns or issues such as the air quality preventing long walks. They were genuinely concerned about Liz’s well being which is so important to us. Our pet was well cared for, and we plan to use them any time we need a dog sitter. We find them to be reliable, caring, and responsible and know Liz is in good hands while we are away.”
“Gina was great at taking great care of Mimi. She sent numerous updates and photos of Mimi during their daily activities. Gina was attentive to Mimi's needs. Our dog was well cared for. We would definitely have Gina dog sit our dog in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dog sitter.”
“Dani did great. We did a meet & greet before the initial stay and Bodie showed signs of acceptance. He seemed to like her and her dogs. When I dropped Bodi off at her place he immediately felt comfortable. You can tell Dani loves her job and the animals. I received daily updates of pics and the occasional quick video. I would highly recommend her. I felt comfortable enough leaving Bodie with her knowing she would care for him like I would. A+ rating from me.”
“Rocky very much enjoyed his stay. Loved playing with the other dogs. Got pictures and videos of him having a great time! Would definitely recommend Nick and Marissa for a safe environment. Will definitely use them again”

We will definitely be using Jeannine again if we needed!”

Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and I can provide consistent check-ins, feeding, litter care, playtime, and updates while you are away.

“Gina was amazing! She responded very quickly to a last minute reservation. She kept consistent communication and even cared for my pup when she felt a little sick from travel. They got plenty of exercise and went for some good walks. Also, the location is perfect for watching dogs. There is plenty of woods area, the golf course, and back roads to go on walks. Highly recommend Gina!”
“Erin was very responsive. I love that she sends update photos of Litte Hay. She has a bigger dog that get along so well with Little Hay, which is a plus since my little girl loves meeting new friends. Will definitely rebook wirh Erin again.”
“Laura is incredible. My dog is fairly obsessed with both Laura and her husband and I have full confidence she is well loved and cared for when she's at Laura's. All the stars!”
“Cheryl was absolutely amazing with my dog! He was a little nervous at first, but she made him feel comfortable, and he ended up really enjoying his stay. Since he's an older pup, I was naturally a bit worried about leaving him, but Cheryl kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend Cheryl to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their furry family member. She's a 10 out of 10!”
“Melissa was amazing. Jake and I received an amazingly warm welcome when dropping off. My dog has anxiety issues and Melissa and her crew were wonderful. They took Jake on walks, took him to the park and he was so happy. Truly one of the best experiences Jake and I have had. So incredibly wonderful.”
“Mary was great! My puppy was a little apprehensive at first but by the end of the day settled right in. She had great communication and sent a few photos during the day and kept me updated to ease my anxiety.”
“I hate to repeat myself, but I can't say enough great things about Briana. She goes above and beyond in every way each time Libbie visits. During the stay, I receive updates with cute photos and videos about how she is doing. It is obvious my dog is genuinely loved. Her assistant, Duke, is a gentle, big boy. Libbie loves hanging with him. He seems to know exactly what play style to provide. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to book with Briana. If you are looking for someone who treats your dog like family, look no further. BUT know I will be super upset if you take my next booking spot!!”

About: I have had pets ever since I was a small child: dogs, cats, hamster, gerbils, chinchilla, parakeet, turtles, even a toad that we saved from a freezing winter. We took care of it till spring and then released it. I love animals of all types. Almost, I'm not babysitting your tarantula or pet snake.

I live in a decent sized 2 story home with a large back yard. It is not fenced all the way so my dog is always on a cable or leash. We live to go for walks and to the dog park for extra exercise. My dog is a husky mix and is almost 4 years old. She loves dogs of all sizes.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I grew up with cats and because we were never allowed to have a dog, I would take care of dogs in the neighborhood. I would dog sit, walk them constantly, and would even bathe them. When I was little, I wanted to be a veterinarian. However the thought of having to put an animal to sleep, kept me from fulfilling that lifelong dream. With two Golden Retrievers of my own Duke 7 years old and Enzo 7 months old who I adore more than life itself, and a cat my life is full. Looking forward to adding more fluffy friends to my life, and maybe even adding some excitement to my dogs life by adding new friends. I currently work full-time, but the majority of my days at work are spent working from home, so my schedule is flexible. The more dogs the merrier ! I will do whatever is necessary to provide the best care when someone else’s baby is in my care. I know what I would want for my dog, so I would treat each animal that is in my care the same way I would treat my own dog with lots of love, treats, walks and playtime!
About: I’ve taken care of many different types of animals for 8 years now! I have experience mainly with dogs and cats but have also taken care of reptiles and fish as well! I have experience in walking pets, giving medicine, and pretty much any other tasks you need done! I currently have multiple repeat clients that I take care of weekly but would love to fit more into my schedule! I also have 6 pets of my own that I take care of every single day! I will make sure your fur baby is safe and protected at all times! I’m very good with animals and absolutely love working with them!

I’ll be able to spend time with your fur baby after work, after school, and in my free time thursday - saturday. we have two golden retrievers who are the sweetest boys around. we have a front and back yard, neither are fenced in due to their size.
About: My mom runs a rescue, so I have taken care of countless animals while fostering them. I also have 7 cats and 5 dogs which brings a lot of experience. I am a college student athlete, so I am currently free most days of the week and weekends. Aside from doing my workouts, I love to get any extra exercise I can!! During the school year I will only be free during the weekends. I have large yard and path cut through my field for exercise. My dogs and cats are friendly to any other animal, but I am able to crate the pet if needed.
About: Hi! Ive been working at kennels my entire childhood. I know exactly how to care for any of your furry loved ones and spoil the hell out of them! One thing I find very important is to send daily photo updates to the owner so they know their loved ones are being well taken care of. Taking good quality pictures of animals (with permission) and seeing the owners reaction is a passion of mine. I am currently a college student living on campus. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my busy days, but I get done by 4pm and have breaks in between all my classes. All other days I am completely free! I have a safe home with a large yard for your furry friend to run and get their zoomies out! Everything in my home is put away and out of reach that could potentially harm your pet.

I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I prioritize communication, safety, and calm, attentive care. I’ll also send updates so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.

“Danielle was so caring and attentive to my senior dog's needs. My dog must have liked her because she even went back to say bye before getting in the car to leave which is in contrast to her behavior with other people we have had watch her in the past. I will definitely request Danielle first for future pet care needs.”
“Samantha and Ian took wonderful care of our pups while we were on vacation for a week. They sent many updates and photos while we were away. Our dogs didn't want to come home I don't think! We have tried many dog sitters and will only be using Samantha and Ian from here out!”
“Gina was great at taking great care of Mimi. She sent numerous updates and photos of Mimi during their daily activities. Gina was attentive to Mimi's needs. Our dog was well cared for. We would definitely have Gina dog sit our dog in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dog sitter.”
“Dani did great. We did a meet & greet before the initial stay and Bodie showed signs of acceptance. He seemed to like her and her dogs. When I dropped Bodi off at her place he immediately felt comfortable. You can tell Dani loves her job and the animals. I received daily updates of pics and the occasional quick video. I would highly recommend her. I felt comfortable enough leaving Bodie with her knowing she would care for him like I would. A+ rating from me.”

We will definitely be using Jeannine again if we needed!”
