“We were gone for 12 nights, Kail and Brenda sent me daily updates on Riley's condition, temperament and overall well being along with lots of photos! NOTHING beats knowing your fur baby is in a loving, happy home with people who really seem to care about your pet as if they were their own! Riley being a senior dog needed a little extra patience which Kail and his wife, Brenda gave him along with lots of love and attention!! The next time I'm planning a trip, you guessed it, Kail will be the only person I will call to take care of Riley again!!”
“Steve is wonderful! He boarded and cared for our little Havanese while we were on vacation. Steve is welcoming, responsive, and has a genuinely kind heart for dogs. Yuki was loved, calm, and happy when we picked her up. We would highly recommend Steve and will definitely be a repeat client!”
“Can’t thank Emily enough for watching our pups! She sent updates and pictures throughout the weekend and made us feel reassured that our dogs were in great hands! Will definitely look to her whenever we need another sitter!”
“Brooke was absolutely amazing with Ellie while we were away for 6 days! I received daily updates and soo many pictures, which was so much fun to see her being treated like her own. I never had to worry about her and knew she was in great hands. I highly recommend Brooke and would definitely book with her again! 🐾 ❤️”
“My dogs had a great time with Joshua! I got lots of photos and updates. You could see how happy they were in the pics. He took great care of my 5 month old puppy and administered her medicine. So I'd definitely recommend him for your puppies and older dogs. They got lots of playtime outside but they were also kept inside with people and other dogs so they were not left lonely. Socializing is very important to me as my dogs are inside dogs and used to being with people. It was a great experience for us and we will definitely book again.”
“This is Reggie’s second time staying with Jennica. And we are so happy to have found her! She clearly loves dogs and gives our fur ball love and attention. She provides constant updates and stays on top of communication. We really appreciate her services!”
“Tamika and her family are amazing. They treated my baby as their own. I could tell by the pictures and videos that Jaxx was happy and enjoying his time there and their company 🥰.”
“Michelle was super sweet and sent pics and videos the whole time our dog stayed with her. She had great communication and our dog did not want to leave. Her dog was so sweet too and they got along great.”
“Brandi, watched our Silas during a very difficult time and allowed us to focus on the Celebration of Life for our loved one. Silas was well taken care of and she tended to him as if he was her own. Brandi provided us with photos and consistent updates. This allowed us to be at ease and enjoy time with family at establishments that weren't pet friendly. If you are looking for a loving and caring pet sitter, look no further than Brandi. Thank you Brandi for taking excellent care of our beloved Silas, making him feel welcomed and safe. 5 Stars all Day!!! Raymond A. Brown”
“Tater had a blast at Poria’s house! Poria gave daily updates with multiple photos. Tater came back smelling even better than how I left her, lol. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Mel is an amazing dog sitter!! My puppies came back super happy and excited to see her again. Plenty of updates and pictures/videos!! Cannot wait to book with her again ??”
“Jen took great care of our elderly special needs dog, Duke. She was quick to respond to our inquiries and was able to accommodate us with short notice. She has a very nice home with a spacious back yard. Duke got along with her dog Gizmo who is very calm and laid back. She sent texts updates with pictures of Duke while we were away. He looked happy and comfortable there.”
“Nicole is amazing- from booking to pickup she made everything easy and was incredibly accommodating and flexible when my flight got delayed. The dogs came home totally relaxed having had a great weekend with lots of love and attention. We’ll definitely be bringing the girls to Nicole again!”
“Bondi clearly enjoyed his weekend with Samantha! I received regular photos of him enjoying time in the yard with the other dogs and he was exhausted when he got home. He can be mischievous at times and Samantha took it in stride. We appreciate her care!”
“Great sitter!! We had a last minute situation and Rachelle took our boys in and gave them a great few days!! Definitely have them in our favorites for future needs. She knows dogs and is great with all temperaments.”
“Kim took on Hershey, our miniature dachshund, at the last minute and really got us out of a bind! Hershey loves Kim (her second Mom) and is happy and well cared for when she's with her. I'd give Kim 100 stars if that were available!”
“Mary was sooo great with babysitting Evee. She sent frequent pics and videos and Evee looked soo happy in every one of them. I would definitely book Mary again. She is soo kind and sweet. And she took AMAZING care of my little Evee. 💖💖”

“Morgan was wonderful from start to finish. We booked a drop-in visit first so Coco could meet her before committing to house sitting, and it turned out to be a perfect match. Coco is the shyest dog in the world and is usually very hesitant around new people. Morgan was incredibly patient and allowed Coco to approach her at her own pace without any pressure. By the end of the visit, Coco was comfortable enough to let Morgan pet her and be close to her, which is something she rarely does with strangers. Morgan is kind, gentle, and clearly understands how to work with nervous dogs. We were so happy to find her and feel very confident leaving Coco in her care. We will definitely be booking house sitting with Morgan and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and patient sitter.”
“I highly recommend booking Meaghan as a pet sitter. She took care of my two cats and made sure to send lots of pictures and updates. She also took the time to meet the cats before the visit. She was so kind and professional!”

“Geraldine and her husband has been amazing with our Nui boy! They have been amazing in watching, caring and loving him while we went on our family trip to Hilo. She kept us up to date on how he was doing every day and took lots of pictures of him which made us so happy that he was enjoying himself. She is great with Nui as he is very anxious and it was his very first time away from us at all. She’s amazing and so much so that we asked for her to watch him for the day so that we could enjoy celebrating a birthday without having to worry about him. We appreciate Geraldine and her hubby for all that they do and we definitely recommend her to everyone! We will definitely keep her in mind should we need services again. Grateful and thankful for the aloha she shares with our Nui boy. Mahalo Nui loa!”
About: I’m the type of person that if I see someone handing out free puppies or if I see a lost dog, I’ll be taking them home. I’ve always had such empathy for animals, that on multiple occasions I have done this. For example, last year there was a man handing out free puppies outside of a petco. I almost immediately took him home. The feeling of taking him and giving him a bath, food, and water was so rewarding. I’ve since realized I love working with animals and wish to continue my work. I would absolutely love to help you out with watching your pet while you’re away. I’m currently a college student. I only have classes on Mondays and Wednesday’s, but anytime after class I’ll be able to dedicate my time to your pet. In my home, I have one dog of my own, and I have a fenced in yard. My dog loves to swim, so if yours does too I’m happy to watch them while they swim. I’ve had a lot of experience with crates so I’m equipped to handle them. No matter what, I just want your pet to be safe and comfortable while you’re away!
About: I've had dogs of all sizes and ages since childhood. My husband faithfully walks the dogs at least once a day. We have two small dogs who love to play and run.

If we accept your reservation, she will be here at home to take care of the dogs as needed. We have a fully fenced yard.

I’m sure your pets have a favorite hangout spot at your house or around the neighborhood, and I’m happy to accompany them!

“My dog loves this woman. She did a few drop-in visits for us prior to in-home daycare. We pulled up to her home and, when she saw Chelsey, my timid pup went trotting into Chelsey’s house like she forgot I existed (she was excited to see me at pickup, so no hard feelings lol). Have already booked her again!”
“I really appreciate Mary accommodating us last minute. My puppy had an excellent time. It was a great opportunity to socialize him and he was take. Care of very well.”

They have beautiful spirits and great energy to be around. I look forward for Paco to go over there again and again !!”

“Alexcis did a great job at making us feel comfortable during our meet and greet before leaving our Charlie for doggy day care. She asked us important questions about Charlie so that she was prepared to make sure his stay was a positive one. She sent us multiple pictures and updates through out the day because she knew we missed him and its Charlie and ours first time leaving him with someone else. I’m very glad to have had her take care of Charlie and we 100% will have her take care of him in the future.”

I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions carefully while providing plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship.

“Terry is very responsive. We utilized her for drop in doggy day care while we were in Augusta visiting our son. Terry was so good with our puppy. The puppy had to much fun running around with her new doggy friend and was absolutely exhausted by pick up time. Terry sent picture updates half way thru the day and was amazing to work with. If we come back down we would definitely use her services again”

About: With over five years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’m attentive to each dog’s unique needs — from energetic play sessions and long walks to quiet cuddle time. I’m experienced with basic training reinforcement, feeding schedules, bathing, and giving medication when needed. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment so your dog feels happy and secure while you’re away, giving you complete peace of mind. Available for house sitting any day of the week. On Mon–Wed, I won’t be at the home 24/7, but I’ll still provide regular check-ins, potty breaks every 2–4 hours, and overnight stays as needed. Whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or mine, I treat them like family — the same way I care for my own two fur babies, Romi (my sweet Schnauzer) and Mocha (my playful Yorkie). Every day, I make sure they get plenty of fresh water, nutritious meals on schedule, regular potty breaks, and walks that match their energy levels. We play, cuddle, and keep a routine that makes them feel secure and loved. I bring that same approach to every pet I look after — paying attention to their unique personality, comfort level, and needs. I’m mindful of safety on walks, keeping pets away from hazards and monitoring them closely around other animals. During pet sitting visits, I make sure your pet gets not just the basics, but also companionship, mental stimulation, and affection. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a midday walk, or staying overnight, I’ll follow your instructions to the letter while giving your pet all the love and care they deserve.

So I’m very capable of taking care of another cat and a puppy if needed and I can even take them for a walk if needed as well! I’m currently working full time M-F second shift at my job so I am available most mornings and I’m available during the weekend if needed I do live in apartment complex, but it does have a cute little play area for dogs for them to play and use the restroom if needed
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my hands-on experience caring for dogs. I had a dog named Bella who was part of my family for 10 years, which taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding a dog’s needs at every stage of life. I am attentive, reliable, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s providing exercise, companionship, or extra attention, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m currently working part time and looking to watching and walking your pets.Im available to help anytime during the week and weekends when i’m needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure the home is kept clean and that any specific instructions from the owner are followed carefully. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away.
About: I am a BIG animal lover! My pets and my friends pets though out my life have always had a special place in my heart. I have been caring from friends and families dogs and cats for 5 years. I have grown up with two family dogs. One of them I had since she was a puppy and the other was a rescue that was around the age of two, but not exactly sure of his age. I am currently working part time for a promotional agency on the weekends. It is flexible and allows me to make my own schedule. Usually I work for 3 hours in the afternoon on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. I like to keep other people’s pets on their regularly routines (as far as feeding/medications, etc) and give them penalty of excerise as needed. My goal is to keep them safe, happy, and healthy.
About: I have a passion for dogs - friends and family are always asking me to care for their pets while they are away. I've had dogs all my life, training them since they were puppies to do tricks and not go in the house. I have lots of patience and flexibility! I'm currently working part-time after my kids have moved out, but I would be happy to transition to caring for dogs full-time if possible! I have time 3-4 weekdays now, but that could increase to everyday + weekends. I live on the Lake with no fenced yard, so first thing in the morning I walk my dog, then I feed him and we play. He's a friendly Yorkie who likes to help me make the bed and follow me throughout the day.

“We were gone for 12 nights, Kail and Brenda sent me daily updates on Riley's condition, temperament and overall well being along with lots of photos! NOTHING beats knowing your fur baby is in a loving, happy home with people who really seem to care about your pet as if they were their own! Riley being a senior dog needed a little extra patience which Kail and his wife, Brenda gave him along with lots of love and attention!! The next time I'm planning a trip, you guessed it, Kail will be the only person I will call to take care of Riley again!!”

“Can’t thank Emily enough for watching our pups! She sent updates and pictures throughout the weekend and made us feel reassured that our dogs were in great hands! Will definitely look to her whenever we need another sitter!”
“My dogs had a great time with Joshua! I got lots of photos and updates. You could see how happy they were in the pics. He took great care of my 5 month old puppy and administered her medicine. So I'd definitely recommend him for your puppies and older dogs. They got lots of playtime outside but they were also kept inside with people and other dogs so they were not left lonely. Socializing is very important to me as my dogs are inside dogs and used to being with people. It was a great experience for us and we will definitely book again.”
