“We are so pleased in finding Kathleen to take care of our Gracie. She is so loving & in tune with dogs. Her home is lovely & geared for dog care. Our Gracie had a wonderful time. Would highly recommend her for any dog care needs you may have.”
“This was our very first time boarding our dogs, and to be honest, we were a little nervous about the whole process. From the moment we connected with Brianne, all of that worry disappeared. She went above and beyond to make sure our pups were not only safe, but truly happy and comfortable while we were away. Brianne kept us updated every single day, sending thoughtful messages and plenty of pictures throughout the day. It was so reassuring to see our dogs smiling, playing, and being loved on—it honestly felt like they were on their own little vacation! Her communication, kindness, and genuine love for animals gave us complete peace of mind, which made it so much easier for us to enjoy our time away. We cannot recommend Brianne enough. She treated our dogs like her own, and that means the world to us. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, attentive, and has a heart of gold when it comes to caring for pets, she’s the one. We are so grateful we found her, and we’re already looking forward to booking with her again in the future!”

About: Hey there! I'm Emma White & I'm an outgoing, goofy pet lover. Since I was little, I've had a special place in my heart for animals. I'm comfortable caring for a wide variety of animals & getting to know their individual personalities, routines, & needs. I've cared for dogs, cats, fish, frogs, lizards, turtles, guinea pigs, chickens, & goats. I love getting outside, playing, & giving pets plenty of attention. I'm no stranger to nervous or shy pets, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, & building trust at their own pace. I also have personal experience with large breeds, including English Mastiffs & Great Danes (they're secretly just big babies!). I have experience caring for pets with additional needs, including GI issues, allergies, vision or hearing impairments, & special dietary requirements. I'm comfortable following specific feeding instructions, medication schedules, & other care routines. I'm also Animal CPR certified, so I understand how to properly care for unexpected situations. I want you to feel just as comfortable as your pet does, so I provide regular updates & photos to keep you in the loop & give you peace of mind while you're away. Whether your pet needs an energetic playmate, a patient companion, or simply someone reliable to keep them happy, comfortable, & cared for, I'd love the opportunity to meet them! I have a pretty flexible schedule working from home. I’m able to make time for walks, playtime, feeding, & check-ins. I’m also happy to work around a pet’s normal routine & make sure they get the consistency & care they’re used to! I like to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible, especially when they’re staying in their own home. Whether sticking to specific feeding times, medications, walks, or other care routines, I focus on not missing any details. During drop-ins, I make sure to provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, & companionship rather than simply checking in and leaving. For house sitting, I treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I keep things tidy, follow any household instructions, and ensure pets feel comfortable & cared for. You can expect regular updates & photos so you know your pets & home are in good hands.
“Lauryn was absolutely amazing with our cats while we were on vacation! She followed every instruction perfectly, sent us regular photo updates, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. The biggest surprise was that she even won over our super shy girl, who usually hides from everyone. Seeing her come out for Lauryn and enjoy the attention meant so much to us. It’s obvious Lauryn truly loves animals and treats them like they’re her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter, and we’ll definitely be using her every time we travel. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been the go to person to watch my friend's dogs throughout my 13 years in the military. Either it be a TDY, a Deployment or just for the weekend, I've taken care of dogs for my friend's whenever they need it. I work from home 4 days a week so I'm able to accommodate most kinds of dogs and times for meet and greets. I now work in the office full time so any dogs that I watch will be alone/kenneled from 7:00am - 2:30pm during the week. I am in the military and may have to leave my house for a few hours, but those appointments are far and few between and will be communicated with you when/if they occur. I have a fenced in yard.

I grew up in the country, lived in the city for 6 years, and now back to the country. Between my husband and I, we have 6 kids and 3 dogs.

“We had a fantastic experience with Stacy and his wife. From the very first moment we arrived at their home, we felt confident that everything would be great, and it truly was. They kept us constantly updated with photos and even videos, which gave us great peace of mind. Communication was excellent throughout, and it was clear our pup was happy and well cared for. We will definitely repeat and highly recommend them.”

About: I have rescued several dogs over the years from shelters and the SPCA. I also foster dogs from FWACC.

I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for your pet to roam around and play with my dogs. I love sending texts and pictures of what your pups are doing so you know they’re in good hands.
About: Pet Care Experience I’ve always loved being around dogs and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, routine, and needs.

About: I have taken care of animals from a young age, we have always had family pets from dogs to cats, lizards, fish, rescues etc. and my grandparents had farm animals like horses pigs, chickens and goats that I was around from a young age also. I have always cared for our family pets as well as neighbors, friends, and family throughout the years. I typically house sit when watching the animals also and can take care of things like collecting mail and packages, etc. I currently work part time form home so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to care for animals. I also enjoy going outside so don't mind taking dogs on walks etc. I have a 1 acre fenced in backyard with lots of grass and trees for animals to play. I also have an outdoor enclosed fence about 8x10 that I can use to separate dogs if needed. And I have about a 5x8 fully enclosed outdoor catio as well. I have plenty of space inside the home to let animals rest as well as a garage if it is too hot during the day.
About: We do overnight stays as a family, with myself, my partner, and our child. In doing this, we are able to ensure that your fur kiddos have a buddy with them at minimum 85-90% of the time you are away, at no extra cost to you! Singular sitters often times will charge an extra fee for Constant Care to be able to provide this level of attention to the furry members of your family. **Since this is how we run our business, we do require that any pets we work with are friendly with children.** _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I have always loved animals and dogs especially have always had a huge place in my heart. I have over a decade of professional experience working with a couple different breeders (chihuahuas, dachshunds, German shepherds) , at a vet clinic, grooming, and training. I am comfortable and confident when dealing with senior/special needs dogs, as I've had a few in my time. I am comfortable with oral, injectable and topical medications and take their schedules seriously. I am also comfortable following special diets. I am comfortable bathing and blow drying dogs, nail trims, expression of anal glands, ear cleaning and tear stain cleaning. I am a confident and assertive person when it comes to handling and keeping control of difficult situations. I have experience with house sitting in environments where there are cats, dogs, fish, turtles, and even horses. I have experience with aggressive dogs, and in most cases, can help with training at an additional cost. I am pet sitting full time, so your pet will get my full attention. My wife will be with me more often than not because we have a kiddo. Between the two of us, your pets will be attended to and loved on the whole time we are with them. At your house, your fur kids will get frequent outside/potty time, fresh water always, and fed according to their normal schedule. During meet and greets, i will ask to see the yard that they go out in, to ensure that i am aware of any holes in the fence. Regardless, i prefer to give them supervised time outside, just in case. I'm a sitter full-time that specializes in house sitting and drop ins. I used to work at a boarding facility and it causes nothing but anxiety for the majority of pets out there. I prefer to watch your fur babies in their own home where they are most familiar and comfortable. Clean, fresh water is absolutely imperative. Its the first and last thing I check when going for a drop in, as well as refilling it as needed throughout my visit. I prefer to keep your fur babies on the feeding/walk/play/potty schedule they are used to so my stay transitions as seamlessly as possible into their everyday lives.
“Was very helpful accepting my request last minute. Came here for a meet and greet and was very curious about any potential trial issues my dog may have while out on walks. Was very good at communicating when she was coming and when she arrived and even saved me when I accidentally overlooked that she was booked for ongoing walks and a payment was submitted that should not have gone through. Highly recommended from this customer. Hard to find someone willing to take on the challenges of walking a large breed Cane Corso like mine.”
About: I have 3 dogs and one cat of my own! I’ve had two of the dogs since they were puppies, and my cat since he was a kitten. I’ve also pet sit for my neighbors many times! My three dogs are all chihuahuas, but i’ve had experience with bigger dogs too. I am currently working part time, but I’m planning on going full time with pet sitting! Once summer is over I will be going to school but early in the morning, from around 8 to 12. So I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets ! I will not bring your pets to my own home, because my dogs are not very friendly to other pets. I will be able to go to your home and take care of your pet(s) there!
“Karly is great! Super responsive, provided very thorough report cards, and my boys really enjoyed their walks with her. Karly was flexible and available one night for an unscheduled, last minute drop-in. Puppy saver!”
“Melissa is sweetheart. My baby just loved her immediately. I had a really good feeling about her when we first met and so far it's working out great. She is really fast to respond and I really feel her and my dog are enjoying each other's company.”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs in the home and became the local animal care taker. From horses, to cats, to chickens and dogs I did it all. I then moved on to have 4 children and excited to show them what it looks like to care for animals of all types! I have a heart for taking care of the ones around me and would love to care for your animal as if they were my own. I have cared for puppies and kittens and took care of my own dog as she grew old and eventual passed. We only board one families dogs at a time to be able to give the best care possible. We raised our rates recently as rover is now taking 30% off the top so I do apologize for this. We are a homeschooling family and would love to use this as a time to get out and walk and spend some time loving on animals as we havent been able to get one of our own yet. We have a daughter who dedicate every waking moment to any animal we care for! We have a large yard to run and play and if we are at your home or ours we will follow any instructions to make sure your loved one is well cared for.
About: As a dog owner, I understand how important it is to leave your pup in a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment where you can feel completely at ease. I offer a smoke-free home with a spacious yard where your dog can explore, play, and relax comfortably. I’m a proud dog mom to two very sweet pups — Thor, my 3-year-old labradoodle and gentle giant, and Bowzer, my 10-year-old cockapoo couch potato. Thor is playful, crate-trained, and almost always carrying one of his toys around. Bowzer is calm, affectionate, and happiest curled up on the couch — and yes, I do allow pups on the couch 😊 Bowzy loves sharing his spot, and Thor is usually nearby with his toys and ready for cuddles. I believe communication is key, especially when your dog is in someone else’s care. During your pup’s stay, I’ll send regular updates along with photos and videos so you can relax knowing they’re happy and in good hands. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I only board one family’s dog at a time. This allows your pup to acclimate calmly with my dogs and ensures they receive my full attention. My goal is to provide a loving, safe, and cozy stay. I look forward to meeting you and your precious pup! I work from home three days a week and am in the office two days with limited hours, so I have a later start to my mornings and am typically home by 5pm. This allows for consistent potty breaks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Our mornings begin with a potty break in the yard followed by breakfast. In the evenings, the pups have dinner and we wind down with playtime, a walk around the neighborhood, or cozy couch time. If your pup follows a specific feeding, walking, or medication schedule, I’m more than happy to stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. I provide a calm, smoke-free home with plenty of indoor space and a yard for dogs to safely explore and play. We also enjoy neighborhood walks for extra exercise and fresh air. Thor is crate-trained and comfortable sleeping in his crate at night. Bowzer usually sleeps in his own bed or near me. I always follow what makes each dog feel most secure. If your pup prefers to be crated, sleeps in their own bed, or is used to sleeping near their people, I’m happy to accommodate their usual routine. If your dog requires a crate during their stay, I kindly ask that you provide their crate so they have something familiar and comfortable from home. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I only board one family’s dog at a time. I’ve found that dogs adjust best in a calm environment where they can acclimate at their own pace without the stress of multiple unfamiliar dogs. This allows me to give your pup my full attention and care.

“Richard did a great job with Koda He sent tons of pictures and followed instructions well. He lives nearby a large pond and lots of fenced in grass so it’s perfect for allowing pets to have exercise and frequent bathroom breaks. Richard and his family are also very friendly and easygoing, would recommend!”
“Ronald is wonderful and made my dog Walter feel like part of the family. His dogs are very friendly and got along great with Walter. Ronald kept me updated with pictures and comments during his stay. We will definitely use Ronald again and Walter is looking forward to his next stay.”
“This was our very first time boarding our dogs, and to be honest, we were a little nervous about the whole process. From the moment we connected with Brianne, all of that worry disappeared. She went above and beyond to make sure our pups were not only safe, but truly happy and comfortable while we were away. Brianne kept us updated every single day, sending thoughtful messages and plenty of pictures throughout the day. It was so reassuring to see our dogs smiling, playing, and being loved on—it honestly felt like they were on their own little vacation! Her communication, kindness, and genuine love for animals gave us complete peace of mind, which made it so much easier for us to enjoy our time away. We cannot recommend Brianne enough. She treated our dogs like her own, and that means the world to us. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, attentive, and has a heart of gold when it comes to caring for pets, she’s the one. We are so grateful we found her, and we’re already looking forward to booking with her again in the future!”

Gina sent pics and updates daily and treated Maya as her own. Not to mention, her dog was very friendly and gave mine a fun playmate! Wonderful family!”
