“Christine and Nick are amazing! We are repeat customers and never worry about our pup when she is in their care. To say she gets spoiled is an understatement. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby.”
“My pups loved their stay with Abby and her family! I highly recommend and will definitely use her services in the future! Being able to vacation with the peace of mind that my pups were safe and happy was amazing! Thank you Abby!!”
“Damacia was a God sent especially at the last minute and having availability on a holiday weekend! I could tell right away that she loves what she does. She kept me informed on my Bentley’s playtime, eating and how he settled in with the other dogs! She even sent pictures of his interactions throughout the day! I will definitely be using Damacia in the future!”
“The sweetest people and very accommodating ! I was very comfortable leaving Ben. They have plenty of yard for Ben to play with Buddy and Lucy. He came home so tired I know he had a great time! I would definitely recommend and will be a return customer!”
“Our three dogs had a wonderful time at Radka's and Jim's home. They stayed 3 days and 2 nights. I could tell they were happy and well-loved from the many photos Radka sent us during their stay. We are thrilled with this experience and plan to book with them again next time we have to be out of town.”
“Our dog, Taco, absolutely LOVES staying with Dylan & Alex! He was there for 2 weeks this time and we were sent pictures and updates every day. It was so nice going out of town for so long knowing that we didn't have to worry about our dog! Dylan and Alex are the best!”
“Amanda did a fantastic job with Willow. I was impressed with Amanda’s follow up. I received pictures multiple times a day. She understands that Willow is my world. She made sure that I knew that Willow was eating interacting with the other dogs and comfortable where she was. Not only will I rebook with Amanda. I already have.”
“Kayce and her family were extremely welcoming to my sweet Axel. We received multiple daily pictures of him and knew that he was in great hands throughout our trip. We would absolutely love to board Axel with Kayce again in the future.”
“Christina and her family took excellent care of my 2 dogs. We really appreciated the daily text and pictures. It gives you peace of mind to know that they are being taken care of . I would definitely leave my pups in her care every time, as long as she continues.”
“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.”
“Marvin responded very quickly for a last minute request and was able to take care of my bully. He was communicative sent great pictures and gave him great walks. My guy came home happy. It was assuring to know he was still taken care of. 10/10 highly recommend”
“Star’ visit was just as great as the first time. All went perfectly smoothly and Star appeared to thoroughly enjoy her stay. I was at ease knowing she was being well taken care of.”
“Adam was great with Poppy. He’s a gentle soul who clearly loves animals. However, when his kids were there overnight, we learned that Poppy isn’t comfortable with younger kids. Adam made it work for the brief period the kids were around Poppy, but it’s not realistic to need to separate young kids in the home and the visiting dog. Sadly we’re still looking for a sitter.”
“Cassandre was fabulous! She welcomed my Leo with open arms and treated him like family ❤️ I received pictures and updates daily! Which was wonderful! I knew Leo was in good hands while I was on vacation! She put my mind at ease! I would highly recommend Cassandre with your furry family member ?❤️”
“Laura was fantastic! She sent updates and pictures everyday. Nellie had the most fun with Laura and her family. I loved how they really adopted Nellie into the family for the week!”
“Lisa is amazing and took great care of my boy, Henry! She provided updates and photos while dog sitting and has a nice home with fully fenced backyard to accommodate any dog. Henry enjoyed his stay and we'll definitely look to work with her again for dog sitting needs.”

“Absolutely the best. She got the cats to play and eat with her, this never happens. They were so emotionally well and happy when I returned and it’s all because of her. Only sitter ai will ever use.”
“Kelsey is an awesome pet sitter! She had great communication and shared lots of pictures of my cats while I was away for the weekend. I came home to 2 happy cats and have already booked Kelsey to help me again!”
“Highly recommend Kayce!!!!! We used Kayce to house sit while watching our senior cat Morticia. Kayce was AMAZING. Best vibes. Mature, fun, open & honest, responsible and patient. Great communicator! She was wonderful with Morticia and sent pictures of their interactions. She respected our home as though her own. We will not hesitate to use her again for sitting the cat and/or house sitting.”
About: I’ve had experience taking care of small animals and big animals since I grew up with both. I currently have older dogs at the house but I also have a pup of my own here as well. I am currently not employed and love to work with animals so this is what I chose to do, I love taking care of animals and always have. I’m very used to taking animals out on walks, feeding them, and loving on them since that is what I do with my own. I treat others animals the same way I’d want mine to be treated.
About: I’ve grown up around multiple cats over the years that were mostly tabbies. Some were strictly indoor and some liked the best of both worlds. I started out taking care of my grandmother’s cats and then got my own when I was 11, taking care of them into their senior years. She had that cat lady instinct and taught me how to be patient and compassionate towards our feline friends. Feedings, cleaning litter boxes, and quality playtime are necessities for every cat and you can be assured I’ll give your fur baby the best care possible. Every cat I’ve had has also wound up being besties with the family dog, so if you have both, I’m your girl!
“Sarah was awesome with my cat! Super friendly, reliable, clean and asking if any additional help needed. I loved getting little updates while I was away—it gave me total peace of mind. Definitely would have her pet sit again!”
“Crystal was great! Highly recommend! Very quick to respond. She came for a meet and greet. She asked questions and made us feel comfortable and reassured that our dog would be well taken care of. She sent pictures and let us know how he did every visit. We will be using her services in the future.”
“Lauren was really great, especially given our cat is very skiddish/scared and runs under the sofa at the slightest noise. Thank you for being caring and compassionate. When we go out of town again, Lauren will definitely be our selection. We highly recommend her.”
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 so my availability will always be changing. But,I will try to keep my Rover calendar up-to-date as I hope more of you reach out! The plan is is turn this into a full-time gig so I will have probably more availability as time goes on towards the end of this year, but I’m hoping to find some regular clients that will book with me on a consistent basis! Plus, I’m really looking forward to all the pet 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! I do highly recommend a meet & greet ahead of time so we can meet pet parents and also meet dog(s)! Let’s them see me and hopefully remember me and feel comfortable with me in their house! (*Please note: House Sitting rates apply to stays where overnight accommodations (a clean bed/space) are provided in your home. If you prefer daytime/evening visits only without overnight stays, please book via my Drop-In rates!)
About: "I have experience caring for cats by feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, providing fresh water, playing with them, and ensuring they are comfortable and safe. I am dependable, attentive to pets' needs, and eager to continue learning about feline care
About: Hello: I have a lifelong passion for animals, particularly dogs, developed through years of personal experience as a dedicated pet owner since childhood. Growing up with pets instilled in me a strong sense of responsibility, compassion, and attentiveness to animal well-being. In addition to being a devoted pet owner, I am also a nurse, which strengthens my ability to provide informed, detail-oriented, and safety-focused care. I am deeply committed to caring for dogs both holistically and medically, taking a balanced approach that supports their physical health, emotional wellness, and overall quality of life. I value preventive care, proper nutrition, and natural wellness practices, while fully understanding the importance of routine veterinary care, medical treatments, and ongoing health monitoring. My healthcare background allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or condition, administer care responsibly, and prioritize safety at all times. I take pride in providing patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate care, ensuring every dog feels safe, healthy, and genuinely loved. I hope you & your fur baby are doing well. I am available Mondays- Sundays for drop in visits. I’m available Mondays-Sundays for boarding at my home. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every aspect of pet care, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, medical needs, and any special instructions provided by the owner. Maintaining consistency helps reduce stress and builds trust with both pets and their families. In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and secure environment. I ensure all spaces are pet-safe, free from hazards, and appropriately supervised. Pets are never left unattended for extended periods, and I provide structured feeding times, regular potty breaks, playtime, and rest to support their physical and emotional well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions exactly as given. I maintain the pet’s familiar routine, monitor behavior and health closely, and provide updates to ensure peace of mind. I am attentive to signs of stress or discomfort and respond promptly and responsibly. I am experienced in both holistic and medical care, including administering medications as directed, monitoring health changes, supporting proper nutrition, and providing gentle, natural wellness practices when appropriate. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing, and trustworthy environment where pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for.

About: I’ve cared for cats with all kinds of personalities, from playful and social to shy and independent.

Along with years of caring for my own pets, I currently work in a pet daycare where I handle animals daily and focus on their safety, comfort, and well being.

“Eliane and her husband were more than accommodating. I have a 12 year old dog who struggles with anxiety so finding a family to take care of my baby was a bit stressful. Upon messaging Elaine about her availability she immediately proposed a meet and greet. I was nervous Sepia wouldn’t get along with her own two dogs but it went wonderfully! Elaine and her husband were flexible with my tentative schedule and offered to host sepia for the night when I found out I needed to leave extremely early the next morning. With my crazy work schedule, I will 100% go straight to Elaine and Steven. Sepia clearly made herself at home ? and was spoiled with treats and endless love.”
“Christine and Nick are absolutely incredible with our German Shepherd, Aurora. This was her first time staying away from home and socializing with other dogs, and they made her feel completely safe, loved, and part of the family. They followed her routine, handled her quirks with confidence and compassion, and kept us updated the entire time. Aurora always comes home exhausted, happy, and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found such trustworthy and experienced sitters— Highly recommend!”

“Kayce was amazing! Our request was very last minute but she was very accommodating and flexible. Bree took to her home very quickly. We were able to enjoy our day with no stress knowing Bree was in good hands. Kayce communicated often and we never had to ask or pry for an update. We will absolutely reach out to Kayce if we are in the area again and 100% recommend her services to everyone! This was our first time using Rover and we were lucky enough to have such a positive experience that we will definitely be using it again.??”
About: Lifelong Pet Lover with Years of Experience Hi, I’ve been around pets my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I started walking and feeding my family dogs at just 7 years old, twice a day, making sure they had plenty of playtime and fresh air in our grassy yard. From playful puppies to gentle giants, I’ve handled dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m confident with potty training and establishing healthy routines for any breed. Since I was 15, I’ve also cared for cats, both my family’s and my friends’. I keep litter boxes clean and ensure they stay off surfaces where they might break or damage anything, all while making sure they feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s a long walk, a cozy cuddle, or responsible in-home care, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’d love the chance to care for your furry friend. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time throughout the week to give your pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday drop-in, or overnight stay, I’m available and committed to working around your needs. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked, they’ll have my full attention and care. Comfortable, Spacious, and Pet-Friendly Home Your pet will feel right at home here. I have a large backyard and a spacious home with plenty of room for dogs to play, explore, and relax. While the yard is not fenced, I always supervise outdoor time to ensure pets stay safe and secure. If you use training tools like an e-collar and provide them, I’m happy to use them responsibly and only according to your guidance. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just like family.
“Amanda is hands down a five-star sitter! She watched my dog all day and did an incredible job managing her high energy; she really went above and beyond to get all those "zoomies" out, and I picked up a very happy, tired pup. Her communication was also top-notch throughout the day, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone reliable who truly knows how to engage with dogs, I highly recommend booking with Amanda!”
About: I have built my life around loving and caring for animals. I have been with my local SPCA for 11 years and have been president for 8 years. My family has rescued and loved many animals throughout our lives and I would like nothing more than to extend that love to your pets. I am available at all times as I have retired and most of my SPCA volunteer work is done from my home. If for whatever reason I am not going to be there I will make sure you will be informed prior to my absence and my husband is available in the rare instance I am not. I have a dog boarding facility that can house up to 17 dogs of all sizes. There is a large outdoor play area and nice cozy accommodations including indoor and outdoor runs. Dogs have access to one on one play (including private walks) as well as group play depending on your preference and dog temperament.
About: Hi my names Amadi. Thanks for taking a second to check out my profile! I have a little over 15 years of experience in training dogs, helping with socialization skills, and general caretaking. Currently I work from home, a light schedule as I’m testing to obtain another specialty license. In my daily life I used to foster dogs for a rescue. Most of my fosters came from very rough beginnings and had many social and/or anxiety issues but we have been able to overcome them💙 With that being said I totally understand how some dogs are unsure of new people and I’m 100% willing to take the time needed to get to know your fur baby. I do currently have an iguana in his own enclosure and I have extensive reptile knowledge and I’m willing to assist with those as well. I currently have a light schedule that I work from home, so I am available for a lot of pet care needs. I do frequent bathroom visits play, and meal time. I am 100% about safety first. I will not accept any new dogs that will put anyone else in jeopardy. Although I have experience in housing a large number of dogs from my time fostering out in Goochland, and my time working in a doggy daycare, I do not wish to take on a large number of dogs at any one time.
“Morgan was great with Buddy. She took wonderful care of him. He is a large dog with a great heart. She was able to take him on last minute and really saved the day. I wouldn’t hesitate a minute letting her take care of Buddy again. Thank You so much”
About: I have been a pet owner most of my adult life and grew up having dogs and cats. Currently we help take care of friends and families pets while they are away and enjoy it so much!! As of January 2025 we will have a pup of our own so any pups we watch must be good with kids and other dogs. We will be opening up dates in 2025 once our pup is fully vaccinated I work from home full time and set my own schedule so I can prioritize walks, playtime and spending quality time with your fur baby We have a very large fenced yard in a great neighborhood. We have three younger children who are excellent with all animals. We will have a pup joining us in January of 2025
“Very genuine person, got down on brownie's level to engage with her, brownie was happy and well taken care off. Abby worked with me and my schedule, I am grateful that brownie has a home away from home”
“They are so caring and patient. My dog can be shy around unknown people and environments and they took the extra mile to let her ease in and get comfortable. Loved receiving all the pictures and videos of her stay. Can't wait for our next visit! Thank you so much for your care.”
“Rangeen is amazing!! I was coming through Richmond just for a day and she was so accommodating to my two pups, especially the timid not-so-dog-friendly one! Very responsive and kept me updated throughout their stay. If I lived closer, Rangeen would be our regular sitter! I hope we have the chance to book with her again.”
About: I have taken care of pets from a very young age carrying for dogs and cats and even horses, rabbits, chickens, goats and more where I grew up in the country. Most recently I pet sat regularly in Woodlake for several families including senior pets on medication and special needs pets, overnight sits in the home and taking care of multiple animals for a week at a time. I am compassionate and kind and will follow whatever guidelines you already have in place for your kids to not back track on training. I'm currently available full-time to help your pets be happy while you're away. My schedule is flexible for boarding, drop-ins, walking and more. We have two friendly dogs that will help keep your fur baby company if so desired. Otherwise they can be separated if need be in different areas of the home or crated away from one another for down time.
“Griff loves G! She gives him lots of attention, affection, and always makes him feel part of the family. Griff really appreciates the sniffing adventures she plans for him. Thanks G for providing my pup with great care and love!”

About: I am an animal lover and have been for my whole life. I have always had dogs and/or cats. I have experience in giving medication, both orally andinjections. As well as tube feeding fowl. I also have experience in small farm/homestead. Including chickens, ducks, horses, pigs, goats, etc... I would treat your animals like my own. I can also water plants, gather mail, etc... In cases of house sitting for a week or longer (6+ nights), I am happy to travel within 200 miles. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any request. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule to be able to care for your pets when and how they need it. We live on a farm with fields to run through, woods to roam and a pond to swim. I'm available to stay overnight in your home and take care of them in their own environment.
“I can’t thank Sophia enough for taking care of our babies! She was available at the last minute. Was so flexible and loving and kind. We were gone all day. She stopped in for 2 visits. Sent us pictures and communicated with me throughout the visit. When we got home both our dogs were so very calm and not distressed at all! Thank you thank you thank you!! If we weren’t visiting from out of town we would DEFINITELY be your repeat clients 100 %!!!”
About: Whether your precious purse pooch needs a structured routine while you’re at work or you have to leave your gigantic baby home while going on vacation, I’ve got you covered! I have 10 years of experience taking care of my own pets (cats and dogs!) and friends and family have trusted me to feed, play, and meet their dogs needs while they’re away. I work part time and am saving up to go back to college in the Fall, so until then my availability is pretty open to help. Whether its early mornings, nights, or weekend stays, I am flexible when it comes to my schedule and value consistent communication when changes come up. I have reliable transportation and can accommodate last minute needs or plan for more structured, longer care. At the moment, I prefer to take care of pets in the comfort of their own home since I don't have a big enough space to invite your pets into. You know your pet best and sticking to what they're familiar with as far as feedings, exercise, and other care is what I will prioritize. My approach is calm, steady, and confident. High energy doesn't overwhelm me and big personalities don't intimidate me. Did you think of your feisty cat with the big attitude just now? Or is your dog sprinting a relay race from room to room as you read this? I would love to meet them! I focus on creating a balanced environment where dogs feel safe, comfortable, and understood.

About: If there’s a pet in the room, that’s probably where you’ll find me. I’ve always loved animals, they’re not just pets they’re family, full of personality, and such an important part of our lives. Every animal is different, and I enjoy getting to know their little quirks, routines, and what makes them happiest. Being trusted to care for someone’s pet is something I truly value, and I treat that responsibility with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Animals are a big part of my everyday life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I plan my days so I can give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I stick closely to the owner’s instructions, respect their space, and focus on keeping their pets comfortable and happy.

About: I love all animals! I believe animals can sense energy, and animals always respond well to my presence because I am patient. I grew up on a farm so horses, dogs, cats, birds. My pets live like kings 😂 I work remotely so my schedule is flexible. Over night stays are fine. I work remotely and have hot spot so my schedule is flexible. I am available 7AM-3PM (depending on area). Fridays/Saturdays available all day. I would prefer pet sitting at the pet’s home to ensure they feel comfortable, low stress. Evenings I can stay extended amounts of times as long as y’all don’t mind me working remotely on my hot spot at the home. Outside/feeding schedules will be no problem because my work is flexible.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, including my own pets and my professional experience as a kennel attendant at a pet daycare. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, baths, medication, and providing care for pets with different needs and temperaments. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to give your pet the same attention, patience, and love I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I plan my days around making sure each pet gets proper care, playtime, walks, and check-ins without feeling rushed. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. I pay attention to their behavior, needs, and any instructions provided to make sure they receive the best care possible.
About: I’ve always enjoyed caring for dogs and have experience taking care of my own as well as helping with others. In a effort to getting outside, staying active, and working toward my own fitness goals. I figured, why not accomplish two things at once?! Let me help you feel confident your pup or pups are cared for while getting some extra steps in myself! I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your dog with the same care I’d want for my own. Please reach out if my schedule is blocked we maybe able to work something out. I currently work full time in Richmond however I am in the office 2-3 days a week. Depending on those days, I can do lunch drop ins, however morning and evenings I am absolutely available. I am also in school so most weekends I am in the area! I am happy to do whatever is needed to care for your pet. If there are additional needs outside walking and feeding the dog please let me know. I am happy to confirm what I am comfortable doing.
About: I’ve been watching both cats and dogs for friends and neighbors for a few years now, and now that I have more flexibility in my schedule I would love to provide my services to others! I’m currently pet sitting full time after moving up to the area and have a ton of flexibility to take care of your pets! If i’m not on vacation, i’m usually free to help :) I live in an apartment in the city with my three-year-old chihuahua mix, Archie! If i’m dropping in, i’m happy to do whatever activities your pet loves and keep their routine going!
About: I am a highly responsible, attentive, and compassionate dog lover dedicated to treating your pups with the exact same care and affection I give my own.

Whether managing high-energy breeds on long walks or providing calm, soothing companionship during in-home sitting, I prioritize your dog’s unique routine and well-being above all else. Im currently free at any time looking to make extra money and wanting to show off my skills of caring for animals I am excited I would make sure to provide food and water, regular exercise, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention. I maintain a clean environment by cleaning up after them, washing food and water bowls, and keeping litter boxes or outdoor areas tidy. I also monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health and communicate any concerns promptly. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine to help them feel secure while their owner is away.
About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets, from horses to kittens. I have recently completed a Red Cross course in dog and cat first aid. Providing quality care to meet your pets’ specific needs is my goal. My flexible routine allows me to provide pet care through out the week. Whether it’s a quick check in or a long walk, I’ll be there. Your home deserves to be respected. I can be trusted to treat your home as gently as I treat your pet. Your home will be left the same as it was when I arrived.
About: Very loving and passionate about fur babies! We own a personal farm whom we take love and compassion to care for them! I have experience with home pets along with outside pets. i am a very active women who can keep up with any active pet. Looking forward to meeting new lovely fur babies! Available during the day, Monday through Friday. Can do some evenings and will also be available weekends depending on times client want the service done. Prefer to care in clients home, although could do at my house. We do own some land where they could roam while potty but as stated before, prefer to go in clients home.
About: My love of dogs started when I rescued my first dog. Since then, I have acquired a load of knowledge not only in how to care for them, but also how to train them. I can provide mental and physical stimulation for your furry friend and bring most of my own equipment - I can also use the tools your pet is most familiar with. I can assess your pet to determine what your pet may need for stimulation, make suggestions for daily care, and learn at least some of their body language. My dogs and I are always interacting whenever I'm home, but most of our intentional fun/training happens outdoors daily. This includes both training and walking. I also help some of my friends train their dogs whenever our schedules allow. I believe your dog should ALWAYS be in training and you can make almost any situation a training opportunity. Your pets can be treated as my own and/or according to your specific instructions. Do you have multiple dogs that need to be separated? No problem. Can your dogs be together but need to be supervised so tension doesn't continue to build? I got you covered there too! Does your dog pull too much on walks, need to learn how to act in-doors? I can work with your dog on those things as well in addition to other things!
About: I have always been a animal lover since little and still am today. I have taken care of families pets while they away for several years. I have own my own fur babies that I adore. My friends and family relied on me to walk and feed, and watch their pets often. The last 6 months I have been taken care of a Family GoldenPoddle and I love every bit of it. I'm currently working remote so my schedule is flexible. I open to care for your pets in your home or in my home. Most of the time, I will just need 24 hr heads up before I can commit to date . I have a pet friendly neighborhood with designated pet areas. I live in a safe and quiet neighborhood with sidewalks. During my 6 months with my family dog , all of the people in the area loved saying hi to the pets I care for.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I was a little kid. I would babysit neighbors kids and take care of their animals while they were away. Friends, family, and neighbors have all relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their best friends. I have experience in caring for animals of all ages! I will give them plenty of love, play time, walks, snacks (if its okay with you), and will treat them as if they are my own. I live in an apartment complex with its own dog park and I am a frequent visitor to Ruff Canine Club and Barker Field dog park as my 1 year old Brussels Griffon loves to play there! I have two 13 year old kitties who are very chill. They have been around dogs their entire lives and are unphased by them.

“Christine and Nick are amazing! We are repeat customers and never worry about our pup when she is in their care. To say she gets spoiled is an understatement. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby.”
“My pups loved their stay with Abby and her family! I highly recommend and will definitely use her services in the future! Being able to vacation with the peace of mind that my pups were safe and happy was amazing! Thank you Abby!!”
“The sweetest people and very accommodating ! I was very comfortable leaving Ben. They have plenty of yard for Ben to play with Buddy and Lucy. He came home so tired I know he had a great time! I would definitely recommend and will be a return customer!”
“Our three dogs had a wonderful time at Radka's and Jim's home. They stayed 3 days and 2 nights. I could tell they were happy and well-loved from the many photos Radka sent us during their stay. We are thrilled with this experience and plan to book with them again next time we have to be out of town.”
“Our dog, Taco, absolutely LOVES staying with Dylan & Alex! He was there for 2 weeks this time and we were sent pictures and updates every day. It was so nice going out of town for so long knowing that we didn't have to worry about our dog! Dylan and Alex are the best!”
“Amanda did a fantastic job with Willow. I was impressed with Amanda’s follow up. I received pictures multiple times a day. She understands that Willow is my world. She made sure that I knew that Willow was eating interacting with the other dogs and comfortable where she was. Not only will I rebook with Amanda. I already have.”
“Kayce and her family were extremely welcoming to my sweet Axel. We received multiple daily pictures of him and knew that he was in great hands throughout our trip. We would absolutely love to board Axel with Kayce again in the future.”
“Christina and her family took excellent care of my 2 dogs. We really appreciated the daily text and pictures. It gives you peace of mind to know that they are being taken care of . I would definitely leave my pups in her care every time, as long as she continues.”
“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.”
“Marvin responded very quickly for a last minute request and was able to take care of my bully. He was communicative sent great pictures and gave him great walks. My guy came home happy. It was assuring to know he was still taken care of. 10/10 highly recommend”
“Star’ visit was just as great as the first time. All went perfectly smoothly and Star appeared to thoroughly enjoy her stay. I was at ease knowing she was being well taken care of.”
“Adam was great with Poppy. He’s a gentle soul who clearly loves animals. However, when his kids were there overnight, we learned that Poppy isn’t comfortable with younger kids. Adam made it work for the brief period the kids were around Poppy, but it’s not realistic to need to separate young kids in the home and the visiting dog. Sadly we’re still looking for a sitter.”
“Cassandre was fabulous! She welcomed my Leo with open arms and treated him like family ❤️ I received pictures and updates daily! Which was wonderful! I knew Leo was in good hands while I was on vacation! She put my mind at ease! I would highly recommend Cassandre with your furry family member ?❤️”
“Laura was fantastic! She sent updates and pictures everyday. Nellie had the most fun with Laura and her family. I loved how they really adopted Nellie into the family for the week!”
“Lisa is amazing and took great care of my boy, Henry! She provided updates and photos while dog sitting and has a nice home with fully fenced backyard to accommodate any dog. Henry enjoyed his stay and we'll definitely look to work with her again for dog sitting needs.”
“If we could give Rikki a 20 star rating we would!! Our sweet Izzy can be a handful/challenge but Rikki quickly figured her out beautifully! Rikki stayed on top of Izzy’s medication, understood her issues and somehow managed to keep up with Miss Izzy and her ways! Rikki sent pictures and updates which we loved- knowing Izzy was cared for made us relax!! We truly/ honestly can’t say enough positive things about Rikki! We feel so fortunate to have found someone we feel comfortable leaving Izzy! If we say more, Rikki may be too booked to keep Izzy in the future!! Definitely recommend Rikki!!!”
“Lara was so great to work with! She took care of our Winnie like she was part of their family and kept us updated with lots of pictures throughout her stay. We will definitely book with her again!”
