“Paul and Terri were absolutely amazing! They offered great communication, gave extra care and attention to our allergy pup, sent pictures throughout the day, and were flexible with drop-off/pick-up timing as we traveled out of state. They have more than enough outdoor space for pups to play safely. They were attentive to our pups needs, limiting outdoor time when too hot. I could tell by the pictures shared that our pup was happy and comfortable while in their care. Thank You Guys!!”
“We were so lucky to find care for our Bruno at Lyra and Scott's house!! My family was in town for 2 days and needed someone to look after him while we played at the water park. What a perfect stay he had!! Lyra and Scott took really good care of him. They will be our first choice when we come back next year. Thank you, Lyra and Scott!”
“This is the 2nd time Amanda and Scott have watched my dog and they were just as amazing as the first time. They always send me pictures and update me on how my little buddy is doing… they always take such good care of him.”
“Perfect service! Teona & Louelyn took amazing care of our puppy Finn. We got pictures proactively sent to us and everything went perfectly. Will definately use them again!”
“We boarded our cockapoo with Jared for 6 nights. Our dog loves people and is very interactive and playful, with high energy, so we wanted a sitter who would be good with him. Jared turned out to be a good match. He was easy going and attentive to Griffin’s needs. Jared communicated with us well and sent pictures of Griffin almost daily to let us know how he was doing. We would highly recommend Jared and will book another stay for Griffin in the future.”
“Striker had a great stay at Stephanie's! Being local, we were able to schedule a meet and greet beforehand to make sure it was a good fit. The large fenced in backyard was definitely a plus! I received many pictures of Striker enjoying himself with Callie chasing balls and going for hike. My boy came home happy from his stay which is all I can ask! Highly recommend and will definitely use again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! Our dogs came back smelling amazing — it's clear they were well cared for and given plenty of attention. We'll definitely be booking again!”
“This was our puppy’s first visit to Gretchen, and I can’t adequately express how wonderful she was with him. She made him feel comfortable, and she sent us regular images of him as he relaxed on the couch. Thank you so much, Gretchen, for loving our little guy for the weekend!!”
“Crystal was so organized and well prepared leading up to our dog’s stay with her. Once there, she was proactive with communication, sent pictures, and helped us feel at ease knowing our dog was well cared for. I would highly recommend Crystal and am so glad that we booked with her!”
“I can tell my dogs love staying at Omaira & Isaac's because when I dropped them off this time, they went strait to playing! I travel a lot and usually when I drop them off at the boarder's or sitter's they get upset because they know I'm leaving, but not this time! It warmed my heart to see that my dogs enjoy themselves when I'm gone; it really decreases the dog-mommy guilt!”
“Katlin did a great job taking care of Shade. She provided me with updates on how Shade was doing. I like the fact that there was another small do there that Shade could play with. I did meet Danny but I’m sure they work as a team. Thanks so much for taking care of my little one.”
“Ryan and Stephanie kept me updated daily on Muppet’s visit and how she was doing. She was getting a lot of attention and loved every minute of it. We were a little late picking her up, but Ryan and Stephanie were understanding. When I picked her up, she was very content and happy and did not seem to have any stress whatsoever.”
“Maggie was wonderful! I reached out to her with a last-minute, overnight boarding request for my two dogs. Not only did Maggie respond quickly and communicate easily, but she was also incredibly accommodating when I needed to modify my drop-off date due to inclement weather. Because we were from out of town, we did not have the opportunity to do a meet-and-greet prior to drop-off. Any worries I may have had about leaving my beloved pups with a stranger completely vanished once I met Maggie. She is warm, personable, kind, and knowledgeable about dogs and dog care. I received adorable pictures of my pups enjoying their time in her home. I will definitely be reaching out to Maggie the next time we are in town!”
“Abby did a wonderful job taking care of my Sammy. She kept us informed of how he was doing. We could enjoy our trip knowing he was in good hands. He was healthy and happy when we picked him. I would highly recommend her”

“Rhianna took great care of our very shy, skittish cat. He usually hides when new people enter the apartment. She was able to find him each day and even sent me pictures! I’m happy with the care she gave our cat, Toast!”
“Joey watched our dog Layla for the second time and we could tell she was happy to see him. He did all expected task and more. Our Layla has been picky about food lately so he made sure accommodated for her to complete her meals. We will continue to request Joey for Layla.”

“Chelsea did a wonderful job! She was greeted with a puke mess on the carpet to clean up. So sorry about that! Sienna did well--as much as she does when I'm gone. I'm sure she enjoyed getting out for a walk.”
“Ginny is amazing! My dog warmed up to her as soon as she stepped in and Ginny made us all feel super comfortable about her care. Would strongly recommend, and we will be using her regular!”
“Victoria was wonderful in taking care of the kittens! She was on time everyday and sent wonderful updates of the babes. They were well loved and cared for we are so grateful!”

About: While I don't currently have a cat/kitten due to my dog's prey drive, I have had cats/kittens in the past with my family. I have helped care for them since I was young with our first cat, Princess. My brother has 4 cats, 3 Maine coon mix & a very sassy tabby, who I have helped care for and always love on when I'm at his house. I'm also a fan of playing with lasers.
About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was young and love to be around all animals! I used to nanny for a family with 5 kids and they had a wonderful dog that I always helped to care for! Feeding and taking him to the groomers and vet appointments…all things that I was lucky to get to help with! I also used to care for 2 cats (both needing to take medication) and a bull dog on a daily basis! I have a Jack Russell (that just passed away) myself that I had for about 10+ years and no kids do she was my only fur baby! I have recently in the past year gotten a brand new puppy named Sugar! She is a beagle/terrier/lab mix and 25 pounds of Adorableness! She is so sweet And absolutely my little girl, as she follows me everywhere and tries to be wherever I am, and always under foot!!! She’s a little skittish and still all puppy at eight months! So I am no stranger to puppy needs at all! I also have Bella, who is a pit/beagle mix and she is a little over a year and a half old!

I am currently a part-time private nanny, to a bunch of different families who may need care for their little ones day a week, and my schedule is always changing from week to week! This is a little niche that I found that nobody was able to fill, and I wanted to dedicate my career to helping those families who only need four hours a day one day a week and that doesn’t necessarily need to be the same day. As my schedules always changing, my availability will always be changing so I will try to keep that up-to-date as I hope more of you reach out! I’m really looking forward to all the snuggles! I am always very mindful of the time for feedings and walks…any medication will be given correctly and timely…I will make sure your home is locked up after I leave from a walk and/or feeding! Please know that I will do my best to. Gain the trust of the animal! Cats too!

About: Growing up my family always had at least one or more pets of various breeds so I have 20+ years of experience around animals. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, lizards, rabbits, goats, and hedgehogs. Personally, my husband & I have 2 dogs currently, 9 & 10 years old, one having epilepsy & is dependent on medication. I have helped raise/care for/train puppies, kittens, baby rabbits, & baby goats. The only pet I'm not comfortable with is snakes, my little sister has one but I only look at it from 3ft away in its enclosure, haha. I work part time Tu/W/Th 8A - 5P, I do not mind caring for pets those days, however I will be gone all day. Otherwise, I'm available for your pets needs! My personal routine with my pets: My husband helps me care for our pets daily but his schedule is a bit different than mine, so our dogs are let out at least within 4-6 hours those days. Otherwise, we let them out every 2-4 depending on their needs (which they have been trained to lets us know if they need to go sooner). Our medical dog is on a 12 hr medication schedule. I'd prefer to care in my clients home due to one of my dogs having a reactive past, it was quite a transition when we inherited our other dog. If you have a specific routine, I'm ready to follow it to the T! I'm comfortable walking dogs on leash, hanging out/playing with them in a fenced yard, or just chilling inside. As mentioned, I have experience with medically dependent pets. I have an escape artist, so I'm always vigilant of their proximity to me and prepared to run/chase in the event something happens. I can stay at the home with the pets or I can visit throughout the day!
About: I have been taking care of my own dogs since I was young and love to be around all animals! I used to nanny for a family with 5 kids and they had a wonderful dog that I always helped to care for! Feeding and taking him to the groomers and vet appointments…all things that I was lucky to get to help with! I also used to care for 2 cats (both needing to take medication) and a bull dog on a daily basis! I have a Jack Russell (that just passed away) myself that I had for about 10+ years and no kids do she was my only fur baby! I have recently in the past year gotten a brand new puppy named Sugar! She is a beagle/terrier/lab mix and 25 pounds of Adorableness! She is so sweet And absolutely my little girl, as she follows me everywhere and tries to be wherever I am, and always under foot!!! She’s a little skittish and still all puppy at eight months! So I am no stranger to puppy needs at all! I also have Bella, who is a pit/beagle mix and she is a little over a year and a half old! She is 60 pounds of crazy but happy and smart and always at my husband side! What a love bug! But remember, with pets, there is no personal space! Lol I love pets of all kinds and will care for them as if they were my own! Snuggles are free!!! I am currently a part-time private nanny, to a bunch of different families who may need care for their little ones day a week, and my schedule is always changing from week to week! This is a little niche that I found that nobody was able to fill, and I wanted to dedicate my career to helping those families who only need four hours a day one day a week and that doesn’t necessarily need to be the same day. As my schedules always changing, my availability will always be changing so I will try to keep that up-to-date as I hope more of you reach out! I’m really looking forward to all the snuggles! I am always very mindful of the time for feedings and walks…any medication will be given correctly and timely…I will make sure your home is locked up after I leave from a walk and/or feeding! Please know that I will do my best to. Gain the trust of the animal! Cats too!

About: Im currently in vet tech school and I have included photos of the some of the dogs i own, rescued, and babysat over the years. Your babies are in good hands. I’m currently working par-time, because of school and this would help gain more experience with caring for and handling different animals with the field I'm going into. I have a fenced backyard with four other dogs who are friendly and would love to meet other dogs. But i have no problem keeping them separate if that is what you would prefer.

“We were so lucky to find care for our Bruno at Lyra and Scott's house!! My family was in town for 2 days and needed someone to look after him while we played at the water park. What a perfect stay he had!! Lyra and Scott took really good care of him. They will be our first choice when we come back next year. Thank you, Lyra and Scott!”
“This is the 2nd time Amanda and Scott have watched my dog and they were just as amazing as the first time. They always send me pictures and update me on how my little buddy is doing… they always take such good care of him.”
“Perfect service! Teona & Louelyn took amazing care of our puppy Finn. We got pictures proactively sent to us and everything went perfectly. Will definately use them again!”
“We boarded our cockapoo with Jared for 6 nights. Our dog loves people and is very interactive and playful, with high energy, so we wanted a sitter who would be good with him. Jared turned out to be a good match. He was easy going and attentive to Griffin’s needs. Jared communicated with us well and sent pictures of Griffin almost daily to let us know how he was doing. We would highly recommend Jared and will book another stay for Griffin in the future.”
“Striker had a great stay at Stephanie's! Being local, we were able to schedule a meet and greet beforehand to make sure it was a good fit. The large fenced in backyard was definitely a plus! I received many pictures of Striker enjoying himself with Callie chasing balls and going for hike. My boy came home happy from his stay which is all I can ask! Highly recommend and will definitely use again!”
“Crystal was so organized and well prepared leading up to our dog’s stay with her. Once there, she was proactive with communication, sent pictures, and helped us feel at ease knowing our dog was well cared for. I would highly recommend Crystal and am so glad that we booked with her!”
“I can tell my dogs love staying at Omaira & Isaac's because when I dropped them off this time, they went strait to playing! I travel a lot and usually when I drop them off at the boarder's or sitter's they get upset because they know I'm leaving, but not this time! It warmed my heart to see that my dogs enjoy themselves when I'm gone; it really decreases the dog-mommy guilt!”
“Ryan and Stephanie kept me updated daily on Muppet’s visit and how she was doing. She was getting a lot of attention and loved every minute of it. We were a little late picking her up, but Ryan and Stephanie were understanding. When I picked her up, she was very content and happy and did not seem to have any stress whatsoever.”
“Abby did a wonderful job taking care of my Sammy. She kept us informed of how he was doing. We could enjoy our trip knowing he was in good hands. He was healthy and happy when we picked him. I would highly recommend her”
“Carly was an amazing sitter for our dog! Very responsible, flexible, and friendly with prompt communication. She gave us peace of mind and Shiv had a great time at her home while we were out-of-town.”
“Ellysia is the best! My pups had the greatest time with her and her family. Updated daily with pictures and activities. We will definitely be using her again and recommend her hands down.”
“Cristen and her whole family were absolutely amazing with my Norman!! Sent updates regularly and treated him as their own. I couldn’t be more appreciative of them!!”

“Cheyanne did a great job of taking care of Betty White while we were on vacation! She sent pictures on a daily basis to show us how she was doing and also gave her a couple of baths while she was there because she got muddy in the backyard. She was also very kind and bought her a new dog bed because the one that we sent got very muddy one day.”
