Wow! Where do we begin for Ms. Jay! From the moment I reached out to her (just a few days before our trip) she has been SO communicative. We were on a time crunch to find someone we trusted with our pups because this was the first time we had no choice but to leave our babies with a stranger. As soon as we started talking I felt at ease with her watching our three dogs. A couple of days after finding out she was available we set up a meet and greet so our pups felt comfortable with her and her home by the time we dropped them off. As soon as they met her we could tell they were comfortable and almost didn't want to leave her house. From the moment we dropped them off (which was easy and smooth because she has a routine in place after doing it for so many years) we received videos and pictures constantly, everyday! That was extremely comforting to see them having fun, getting cuddles and pets and meeting new friends throughout the week. She made us feel comfortable with giving one of our dogs his medications and offered to clean our bulldogs face if it got too dirty. The most generous thing Ms. Jay did for us was give us a price adjustment for having three dogs because she genuinely loves to pet set and understands it can get expensive with three dogs if you book an actual boarding place. She was SUPER accommodating with our schedule and hers for drop off and pick up. She had their stuff packed up and ready outside by the time we picked them up. It's a definite YES we will be using Ms. Jay in the future. We all LOVE her! - Lauren and Kaylin!

I was extremely satisfied with the care Bentley received while with Amanda and her family. Her fur babies were very welcoming to Bentley and I felt he was happy with his new friends. To my surprise, they went on a “field trip” where they were allowed to run off leash and smell and play in a very large confined space . I worried he would not want to leave with me and leave his friends behind. I highly recommend Amanda and will definitely use her in the future!!

Laneise made boarding with her so easy. She was so chill and flexible about drop off and pick up during the hectic holiday and that helped a lot! Our dogs loved being at her house and felt right at home. She has a lot of experience with animals and grooming so that is a huge plus! We are so thankful to have found her and will definitely use her again in the future.

I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures on how Lucy was doing. We were gone for a week and I felt comfortable and confident leaving Lucy in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!

My dog has some incontinence issues and can be very attached to his people. Myrna was incredibly understanding, accomidating, and patient with his special needs. Thank you!

I had fantastic experience with Kendra B. She sent thoughtful daily updates about my dog’s routine, kept up with his walks and playtime, and made sure he finished his food. When I picked him up, he was calm, relaxed, and clearly well cared for—she even took him on a car ride he loved! It was a pleasant stress free experience that gave me real peace of mind. If you’re looking for a true home-away-from-home, I highly recommend Kendra B, and I’ll definitely book with her again!

Victoria took such good care of our pup when we were gone for a 10 day vacation. He was happy to play with the other dogs and loved being able to roam the house and lounge on the couch. Victoria will be our go-to when we go on vacation moving forward. You can rest assured that your pup will be in great hands if she's the sitter. Highly recommend!

Peyton was great with communication and pictures. She responded every time I asked her a question. Peyton’s family assists with the dogs as well and they were wonderfully friendly and provided feedback about how my dog did during his stay. My dog got the right amount of play and cuddle time. The yard is huge for the dogs to run and play. I felt like my dog was safe and well loved while we were away. I’ve already booked another week with this lovely family.

About: From the time I could walk, I grew up alongside cats inside and outside my farm-home. When I got to be a bit older, folks in my neighborhood would have me stop by their houses while they were out of town to play, feed, change litter boxes, & cuddle their older cats. When I was around 20, my childhood cat was unfortunately attacked by a dog and I nursed her alongside my mother back to health by keeping her dressings clean, administering medication daily, & keeping her quarantined from the family dog just in-case of further incident. She fully recovered and lived a full, happy life. I am so happy to come and take great care of your feline friends. I know how precious they are to you & your family— and I’d even be happy to spend extra time making sure they get extra cuddles & play time, if requested! ☺️

About: I’ve lived with dogs as long as I can remember and have had a significant part in their care for about 10 years. The last 4 years I’ve been the primary caregiver for my pets. Since I was a teenager I’ve been the designated pet and house sitter for friends and family! I currently work full time but work from home two days per week. My mornings before work and evenings after work are dedicated to the pups. If necessary I am able to take a long lunch for some extra pup time. I have a fully fenced in yard where my friendly pups love to play and a puppy proofed home. Pets are welcome anywhere people are allowed, including furniture. My 2 dachshunds are super outgoing with other dogs and can keep up with big dogs! In a client’s home I will take into account any of the house rules of the pet parents.

We were so great full to have found her and that she was able to care for our little fellow in our time of need. She provided wonderful care for him. She has several bigger dogs on site but they were very friendly and didn’t even bark. Our little guy was surfers from a bit of anxiety when we leave him anywhere. I think he was secretly proud of himself for hanging with the big dogs. We don’t have to leave him often but I will give Becca a call again when we have the need.

I follow the pet owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, & any specific care instructions. In the client’s home, I maintain their pet’s usual routine to minimize stress. I keep the home tidy & communicate regularly with updates & photos to give peace of mind. My goal is to provide loving, attentive care as if they were my own pets.

Ayme took Hugo for a doggie day care break today! We asked her at short notice, and she obliged. Hugo loves playing with Ayme’s fur-babies, and judging by the photos and video, he had a blast 😊 Thank you so much for the love and attention you and your kind husband give to our dog, I’m so glad we found you! 💕

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t say enough wonderful things about Miguel and his wife! They took amazing care of my fur baby, Church, for the past three days, and the experience was absolutely delightful. From the moment we met, Miguel made sure that Church felt comfortable and safe, even introducing him to their own dog to help them get along. His understanding of dog language, especially with big dogs like mine, is truly impressive. Miguel and his wife are such pleasant, caring people. They kept me informed every step of the way, sending updates and even videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. They’re incredibly accommodating, even fitting us in on short notice, which I really appreciated. Church came back home happy, tired, and clearly well-loved. I could tell he had a great time because he’s been so content and relaxed. I’m beyond grateful for their kindness, professionalism, and the genuine care they showed my dog. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and amazing with dogs, Miguel and his wife are the best choice. Thank you both so much! How does that look?

Abby, had great communication with me while our pup was there. She sent me pics which helped put our minds at ease. What sold me on her was that within 5 minutes of me reaching out with our dogs info and request for care she responded back with her address ready to take him immediately. If we’re ever in the area again we will definitely be using her services!

About: I will take care of as if my own. I tend to get attached and fall in Love fast with furry friends. It’s actually called baby kitty syndrome. Like when you want to squeeze them so hard you will hurt them. Lol I need something to do with myself and make a little extra cash. I’ve lived with dogs, cats, birds, fish and rabbits all my life. I rescued 2 dogs, brother and sister, from the woods when they were 6wks old. They made it to be 16. I do have issues with my left leg/foot and lower back. So I won’t be able to lift more than 25lb max. I’m new to the area so this will help me to get out of my house and do something. I actually watch pets to get my fur baby fix and for a place to stay, specially when I travel. And im usually solo on my travels I will stay in your home to make things as stress free as possible for your fur babies. I will follow all your instructions and love them as my own

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m your dog’s new favorite human! I’m a reliable, attentive, and animal-loving sitter who treats every pup like my own. Whether your dog is full of energy and loves long walks, or prefers cozy naps and gentle company, I tailor my care to fit their personality and routine. I hold a Master’s degree in Animal Science with a focus on canine and feline care, and I have hands-on experience in dog shows and dog sports. This means I’m comfortable working with everything from high-energy, well-trained performance dogs to everyday companions who just want love and consistency. I also have experience with both basic pet grooming and show dog grooming, so I pay close attention to coat care, cleanliness, and overall presentation. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I’m comfortable administering basic medications, sticking to feeding schedules, and maintaining routines. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Safety, trust, and lots of tail wags are my top priorities. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐶💛 Pet care is a natural and consistent part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule to prioritize the needs of the pets in my care, including regular walks, feeding times, play, and enrichment. Because of my background in animal science and experience with dog sports and shows, I’m very used to maintaining structured routines and adapting to each dog’s individual needs—whether that’s high-energy exercise, training reinforcement, or a calm, predictable environment. I’m flexible throughout the week and make sure I have the availability to give each pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are my top priorities in both my home and my client’s home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any household preferences—while keeping the environment clean, secure, and respectful. I’m very mindful of doors, gates, and potential hazards to ensure pets stay safe at all times. In my home, I provide a structured, low-stress environment with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and rest. Dogs are never left unattended in unsafe situations, and I carefully manage introductions and interactions if other dogs are present. Cleanliness, secure spaces, and routine are always maintained. With my background in animal science, dog sports, and grooming, I’m very attentive to behavior, body language, and overall wellbeing, allowing me to respond quickly to each pet’s needs and keep them comfortable, safe, and happy.

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!

I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm interactions, and I communicate regularly with updates so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Growing up on a small farm with cats & high-energy pups, I ended-up gaining experience as the neighborhood dog & cat sitter in my as a teenager. It was my favorite job I’ve ever had! ☺️ This included stops-in for daily walks, cuddle-times, & feedings; ensuring they play & move when their owners are away. Occasionally administering medications: (including medications that require a needle), and much more. As I got older, I gained experience working in a Veterinarian office. I’ve spent a lot of time with animals of all sizes and temperaments in these environments, including end of life care. I also have my own at home: two old boys. One sweet & feisty, almost thirteen-year-old blind and (nearly entirely) deaf Dachshund named Woody, who loves to be cuddled. Then, there’s my nearly ten-year-old American Foxhound sweetheart, Popeye, who wants to do nothing but play and be told how much of a “good boy” he is. They’re the best boys anyone could ask for. I look forward to hearing from you and how I can help! ☺️ I do same-day bookings for walks. Extra play-time, snuggles, and pets await. Currently, I am home, in-between waiting for Medical Assistant Certification classes to start in January, after 6 years of being a stay-at-home-mother. I am available 8:30AM-3:30PM & 5PM-8PM on M,T,W,TH,F & 8AM-8PM on S&S. I am extremely communicative and committed to respecting the boundaries of your home. If there are specifics to how you would like me to enter & lock your home, then it will be done. As far as taking care of your pets, they will be loved, played with, treated as if they are my own, and fed, walked, & watered (if specified for the job).

About: I’ve had dogs since I was eight years old. Including puppies and rescuing senior dogs. Some of the senior dogs were at the end of their life so I understand the need for compassion and care. I currently have a two year old puppy which I have trained since she was five months old. So I am very versed in the need for daily exercise, consistent training, and daily enrichment. I’ve been dog sitting for at least ten years. Including extended stays at my residence. I’m currently a part time worker, looking for something to fill my extra time. So I have a very flexible schedule and I’m always ready for some extra dog time. My goal is to always put your pets need first. Including any care they need. Including cleaning up after them and any extra medications they may need. Also adding comfort and safety in stressful situations.

About: I am an animal fanatic! I love animals more than I love people! I love to walk, play and cuddle. I have owned dogs from puppy to adult. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life! I work three days a week, which means I have plenty of free time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m off on weekends and have two additional days off during the week (those days vary), so my schedule is pretty flexible. On my days off, I love spending time walking dogs, checking in on pets, and making sure they’re happy, loved, and well cared for. Even on my workdays, I’m available for morning, evening, or quick mid-day visits depending on your needs. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I always make time for it in my routine! 🐶🐱💛 About Me 🐾 Hi there! My name’s Audrey, and I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly believes pets make the world a better place (honestly, I like animals more than humans!). I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a teenager, and I currently share my home with four amazing dogs and three sweet cats that I love dearly. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits for dogs and cats — making sure your furry family members get all the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a fun walk to burn some energy, or just some company and cuddles, I’m here to help! I also have plenty of experience giving medications to both dogs and cats, including pills, topical treatments, and even more specific care needs. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in gentle, capable hands. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own — with love, patience, and respect. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos during each visit so you can see how your pet is doing and feel connected while you’re away. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I take pride in providing dependable, compassionate care that helps both you and your pets feel comfortable and happy. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and make them feel right at home! 🐶🐱💕

About: I've been caring for animals since I was a kid, so I have experience with just about every stage of pet life, from puppies and kittens to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. I'm comfortable with basic training, quick drop-ins, longer stays, and pets with more specific care needs. I grew up in the country with a pack of Australian Shepherds, so I'm very familiar with energetic, intelligent dogs and the occasional four-legged escape artist. These days, I have five cats of my own, and my fiancé and I also rescue cats and kittens, so I have plenty of hands-on experience with feline care too. That includes everything from confident, social cats to shy, nervous, or newly rescued kitties who may need a little more patience while they get comfortable. My home also makes it easy to give pets their own separate, quiet areas when needed, which is especially helpful for shy animals, cats, pets who aren't comfortable around others, or those who simply prefer some privacy. I also have experience caring for pets recovering from surgery or dealing with temporary mobility and medication needs. Since I work from home, I'm around throughout the day and can provide plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention rather than leaving your pet alone for long stretches. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and already structure my day around caring for my own animals. I’m home throughout the day, which makes it easy to accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, medications, check-ins, and plenty of attention without pets being left alone for long stretches. I’m also used to adjusting my routine around an animal’s individual needs. Whether that means an early breakfast, extra walks for an energetic puppy, a quiet afternoon with a senior pet, or giving a shy cat time and space to settle in, I have the flexibility to make their normal routine part of mine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I try to keep their routine as familiar and low-stress as possible. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, medications, potty breaks, walks, playtime, sleeping arrangements, and any household rules your pet is used to. Because I work from home, I have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. That means I’m available for regular walks, extra potty breaks, drop-ins, play sessions, and check-ins rather than trying to squeeze pet care around a traditional office schedule. I’m happy to match your dog’s usual walking routine, whether that means a quick neighborhood loop or a longer walk to burn off some energy. In my home, I’m able to section off different rooms and areas as needed, which is especially helpful for pets who need privacy, a quiet place to decompress, or separation from other animals. I’m also very mindful about doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape routes. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both your space and your pet’s established routine. I want them to feel like life is continuing as normally as possible while you’re away, with plenty of attention and supervision. I’m also happy to send photos and updates throughout their care so you have the peace of mind of knowing how they’re doing while you’re away.

They have a very special place in my heart ❤️I also do love cats , a few years ago I recently got my own cat and every since have fallen in love with cats as well . I am currently goin back to college and have some extra time on my hands . So I’ve decided to do this in my spare time considering I absolutely love and adore dogs & cats . I am pretty open most of the time preferably in the mornings / early afternoons would work best but I am flexible. I would give your pets so much love and affection the entire time I am there . Depending on if the client has fenced in yard I would play with the dogs outside or inside the clients home, go on walks , bathing , feeding, Whatever needs you pets need I am there for it . Im very easy going and absolutely adore animals .

Great experience for my two girls with Ciara! I got lots of pictures and great communication over the entire week they stayed with her. Would definitely recommend Ciara to anyone looking for a loving family environment for your dogs.

We used Allison for the first time for a in-home boarding stay. Our dog was safe, well cared for, and we appreciated knowing she was in a home environment rather than a traditional kennel.

I was extremely satisfied with the care Bentley received while with Amanda and her family. Her fur babies were very welcoming to Bentley and I felt he was happy with his new friends. To my surprise, they went on a “field trip” where they were allowed to run off leash and smell and play in a very large confined space . I worried he would not want to leave with me and leave his friends behind. I highly recommend Amanda and will definitely use her in the future!!

Laneise made boarding with her so easy. She was so chill and flexible about drop off and pick up during the hectic holiday and that helped a lot! Our dogs loved being at her house and felt right at home. She has a lot of experience with animals and grooming so that is a huge plus! We are so thankful to have found her and will definitely use her again in the future.

Abby was a wonderful sitter for my two large Dobermans. The oldest has cancer and the youngest, I admit, is a spoiled handful. Abby was knowledgeable in the handling of both. I recommend her highly.

I cant say enough good things about Myrna. She took exceptional care of my senior pup and went above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable, and loved during his stay. My dog has some incontinence issues and can be very attached to his people. Myrna was incredibly understanding, accomidating, and patient with his special needs. Thank you!

Teona and Louelyn are the best!! Our dog is blind and needs extra care. They made sure he became familiar with his surroundings and knew where his bowls were located. I especially loved the photos and videos that were sent during the day showing how happy he was. We had full confidence in their caregiving. Would definitely recommend!

Victoria took such good care of our pup when we were gone for a 10 day vacation. He was happy to play with the other dogs and loved being able to roam the house and lounge on the couch. Victoria will be our go-to when we go on vacation moving forward. You can rest assured that your pup will be in great hands if she's the sitter. Highly recommend!

Peyton was great with communication and pictures. She responded every time I asked her a question. Peyton’s family assists with the dogs as well and they were wonderfully friendly and provided feedback about how my dog did during his stay. My dog got the right amount of play and cuddle time. The yard is huge for the dogs to run and play. I felt like my dog was safe and well loved while we were away. I’ve already booked another week with this lovely family.

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!

Savannah was absolutely amazing with my dog. She was very responsive and sent me daily photos and texts to let me know how my fur baby was doing. Her farm is perfect for dogs and she took them on walks around the walking paths.

About: I am an experienced dog parent with a deep love for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Having recently lost our high-energy Staffy, I'm deeply familiar with the dedication required to keep active dogs exercised, stimulated, and happy. I work from home, so your dog will benefit from constant supervision, plenty of indoor attention, and consistent daily walks. Whether your pup needs rigorous exercise or just a cozy spot to hang out while you're away, they will be in safe, loving hands with me Working at the house gives me complete control over my daily schedule, so caring for a dog fits naturally into my routine. My day is built around morning, midday, and evening walks, as well as regular yard time and structured play breaks. Because I'm home all day, guest dogs get constant supervision, consistent potty schedules, and plenty of affection to help distract me from work. In my home, guest pets are treated just like family. I closely follow every owner's explicit instructions for feeding schedules, house rules, and special needs to keep their routine as consistent as possible

This is the first time I used Rover and left Hercules to be taken care by someone who was not part of the family. He is a senior and very into his ways so I was apprehensive about how he would take it. From the photos Cyndi provides daily I could tell in the first day he was relaxed and really into Cyndi. She took a great care of him and it was great to have daily updates and a place where he does need to share with other dogs. I would highly recommend Cyndi and I will definitely book more stays with her.

My dog, who is an escape artist, was well protected in yard with a sturdy fence. He received a lot of activity, play time with other animals and cuddles. I was able to leave my cat with Becca as well. This was of great comfort to me knowing my cat and dog, who are buddies, could stay together. I highly recommend her services.
