“Lilly is an absolute lifesaver! She took incredible care of my two dogs, Bear and Coyote, over Christmas, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The dogs clearly loved staying with her and her sweet pups, Lilo and King. Unfortunately, I had a medical emergency at the end of my trip and had to stay away for an extra week, but Lilly was so understanding and accommodating. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind during a stressful time. I’m so grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and the love she showed my dogs. If you’re looking for someone who truly goes above and beyond, Lilly is the one!”

“Sherry did a great job keeping our little dog for the weekend. I wasn’t worried about our Peaches staying with her, even though Peaches didn’t know her. And her little dog, Dottie is sweet as can be. I would let Peaches stay with her again. Thanks Sherry!”

About: I am a proud pet mom to three cats and one dog. One of my cats has special needs along with special diet's, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and unique needs. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies behind, and I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re in caring, patient, and loving hands. I’ll treat your pets like my own—with plenty of attention, cuddles, playtime, and care while you’re away. I work part-time, which allows me to offer flexible pet-care availability throughout the week. I plan my schedule around the pets staying with me so they receive consistent care and attention. My boarding availability is: • 🐾 Monday: After 5 PM • 🐾 Tuesday: After 5 PM • 🐾 Wednesday: After 1 PM • 🐾 Thursday: After 5 PM • 🐾 Friday: After 1 PM • 🐾 Saturday & Sunday: All day Before boarding, I’ll get to know your pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, and any special needs or instructions. I have a fenced-in backyard where pets can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and exercise. I also have a dedicated room for pets staying with me, giving them a comfortable space to relax and feel at home. My goal is to make their stay feel as comfortable and familiar as possible while giving you peace of mind that your fur baby is in good hands.

About: I have 5 years of experience caring for animals. I have 2 dogs if my own as well as having grown up around my childhood dog. I love to take them on walks and taking them outside to play! I have a high energy dog myself, so I have experience. I do work a full-time job, but I am home every day around 4 and I would be able to come home on lunch breaks and let them potty. I do not have a fenced in yard yet, but I can and will take them out on a leash if you would like me to.

About: I've been pet sitting since college and have cared for dogs with a variety of personalities, ages, and needs. As a medical student, I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pet while you're away. I have an AKC Canine Good Citizen certified dog who is truly part of my family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. While I'm not an AKC-certified trainer, I have experience with obedience training and recently fostered and trained a dog from the ground up, helping them build confidence and good manners before finding their forever home. Although I'm not a veterinarian, my medical training has made me comfortable following medication schedules, recognizing when something seems off, and paying close attention to details. I know how important it is to notice changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or mobility, and I'll always communicate any concerns promptly. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone to cuddle with, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. I am currently on clinical rotations so my schedule changes every 4 weeks. This is something I want to fit in when I have time because pets deserve the world. I will say I’m available unless I can provide your pet my full attention. I have a friendly dog at home who is comfortable with large and small dogs. He is very social. Although I don’t currently have my own yard my appartment had a beautiful dog park! My dog and I go on two walks a day rain or shine. If it’s summer and we go later than 8am I have him wear boots to protect him from hot pavement. I like to practice training with him and taking him to the dog park.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals all my life. I love animals and it’s truly a passion of mine. I will care for them as if they’re my own. I am currently working full time but I get off at 5 during the week so I will have plenty of time to care for fur babies after that. I also have off Saturday and Sunday so I will be available then as well. I can pet set and take them for walks from your home after my scheduled time at work. I can also honor any feeding schedule and make sure they have the best care possible.

About: I live with my chow-mix pups, Cosmo and Gaia, and spend my days working with dogs of all kinds. My experience ranges from playful puppies to strong, high-energy breeds. I’m patient, reliable, and experienced with nervous pups as well. Every dog is unique, and I adapt to their needs so they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m mostly available in the mornings! Some afternoons may be open as well, so please check my calendar for exact availability or send a request to discuss scheduling. Before booking boarding or daycare, please check with your vet! I always keep my two pups up to date on their vaccinations. Safety and trust always come first. On walks, I bring extra leashes just in case and carry treats to keep pups happy and focused. I also take photos during our walks so you can see their adventures in real time. For drop-in visits, I follow your routine closely: Feeding, water, play, and potty breaks and always send updates with photos.

About: All animals are some of my favorite things about life. I have been raised around all sorts of cats and dogs since I was born. I have learned the ins and out of all ages with these animals, and having a passion for making sure they are taken care of and always loved. For now, I pretty much have an open schedule! I do make time for my online schooling throughout the week, but other than that, I can easily make time to come take care of your animals. I have one dog, a puppy less than a year old who loves to play with other dogs, so if your pet stays at my home, they will for sure be taken care of.
