Lydia was able to accommodate me at kind of the last minute, and was great the whole time. I can tell my pup had a lot of fun and was exhausted by the time she got home.

Donna took such wonderful care of our babies while we were on vacation. I did not worry one minute about them because she let me know how they were doing and sent me plenty of pictures. Donna not only cared for their physical needs, but I also know that she showed them nurturing love by the sweet comments she made about them and their personality traits. We will certainly use Donna for future needs when it comes to carrying for our babies!

I am always hesitant to leave my dogs at a kennel because of the thought of having them locked up in a kennel all day or getting sick from other dogs. I am so happy to have found Pam. Roscoe, my boxer, stayed with Pam during our beach vacation. I felt much more at ease on vacation knowing Roscoe was well taken care of and having a blast at her gorgeous home. I received updates with pictures each night. I would highly recommend her services for your dogs while you are away. From the adorable pictures of Roscoe taken by Pam while we were away, he made himself right at home. Thank you so much Pam!!

My poodle has stayed with Emily many times for both boarding and daycare and he always comes home happy and in good shape. He starts getting excited as soon as he sees me packing his bag, because he knows he's going to meet some great dog friends and get some exciting activity. I always feel comfortable traveling for work knowing he's in her hands.

I contacted Marah very last minute to watch my dogs for me for the weekend and she responded almost instantly. When i took my dogs over for a quick meet and greet they immediately made friends with the other dogs there and Marah treated them like they were her own. I received picture and text updates about how they were doing daily. They got to play with other dogs at her house and at the dog park over the weekend which I'm sure they loved. When i picked then up on Sunday they were both thoroughly exhausted. I will definitely be bringing them back

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Penny and Evan. I had a last-minute, same-day request for someone to watch my two dogs, Bella and Milo. Bella has severe anxiety (just like her mama) and takes medication three times a day, so leaving her is never easy for me. When I came across Penny and Evan’s profile and saw their picture, I immediately felt at peace. I just knew these were the people I wanted caring for my babies. They accepted my request quickly, and within a few hours I was able to bring Bella and Milo to their home. From the moment we arrived, Penny was warm, kind, and incredibly welcoming. She immediately took us to the backyard so the dogs could sniff and explore. She thoughtfully explained their setup, including a separate area in case bigger dogs were present, which gave me even more confidence in their safety and comfort. Inside, she allowed Bella and Milo to explore freely and get comfortable. She carefully gathered all of my information, emergency contacts, medication instructions, and even provided her personal number. She made sure she had mine as well. That level of thoroughness meant so much to me. When I left, I truly had zero worries. That says everything. Even though I was only gone one night, I received multiple updates, pictures, and even a video. I could see my dogs were relaxed and felt safe — which is especially important for my anxious Bella girl. Seeing her calm brought me more relief than I can explain. When I picked them up, they greeted me with all the kisses I could possibly dream of. Milo even turned back as if he wanted to say goodbye to Penny, which told me everything I needed to know. They were content on the ride home — either completely relaxed or happily worn out from their wonderful adventure! Because of Bella’s anxiety, I have often avoided traveling or visiting family. We’ve tried multiple medications and behavioral treatments over the years. Finding Penny and Evan feels like such a blessing. They reassured me that my babies were happy and that they look forward to seeing them again — and I truly believe it. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pets like their own, communicate clearly, and give you complete peace of mind, look no further. Penny and Evan are absolute gems. We will absolutely be back.

I hit the jackpot when I found Katie. I was so nervous about leaving my Labradoodle with someone overnight. She sent me updates and pictures the entire time he was with her to put me at ease. She was so attentive to him as well, especially since he’s so shy. I will definitely book her again for Bert. She was so good with him.

About: I began volunteering at my local animal shelter at the age of 9 and have been caring for animals ever since. I have 20 years experience pet sitting for neighbors and I have my own 6 year old pitbull, Cleo, so I’m no stranger to energetic dogs. I’m a teacher, so my summers give me full flexibility to care for your animals! I love to walk dogs on local greenways and trails. SCHOOL YEAR UPDATE: I’m still happy to provide boarding, walking, and drop in visits outside of school hours. I am unable to be home or care for pets from 7am-3pm each day. If your dog can be left for 8 hours, boarding continues to be available during the school year. I have a fenced in backyard where your dog can play. If they like to play with a buddy, my dog will be their best friend!

About: I've been around cats of various personalities since I was very young. I have pet- and house-sat for friends and family for many years now, and it is a genuine joy to spoil their pets rotten. I have owned and pet-sat senior cats many times, and I have a decent amount of experience with oral medication. I get along great with pets of all kinds of temperaments—shy, excited, grumpy, calm, anxious—and I am not afraid to sit for pets with "difficult" temperaments, just let me know beforehand.

About: I have experience taking care of both small and large dogs, including dogs with specialized medication schedules. I have taken care of cats and dogs my whole life and I love all animals :) I hope to provide any extra help needed and am happy to show your animals love. I work full-time, but I am able to visit animals during my lunch breaks or after I’m off of work usually around 4 or 5 pm. Depending on the environment provided, I am confident in my ability to walk a dog of any size or just allow them to play in the comfort of their own backyard. Every dog is different and I am able to adjust however they are needing me to.

She is so amazing. This was the first time I had to “board” any of my animals. I was nervous beyond words, I meet with her prior and she made me feel at ease. The morning she came to pick up my babies she reassured me they will be fine. I was a wreck, but Samantha would frequently send pics and updated messages. It did comfort me some, but I just wanted to cuddle my babies. Overall, even though I was copete worry wart, she took great care of my babies. I greatly appreciate her for everything she did.

Pups were very well taken care of and Taylor went above and beyond to keep them company especially during a storm. We didn’t have to worry about them while we were out of town and it was very reassuring. Taylor was very professional and provided wonderful care for our pups!

About: I have experience sitting dogs and cats ages 6 months - 16 years, including overnight house sitting, walking and playing, and regular feedings! I have trained two of my own dogs from puppies, and am very patient with all animals. I am a full time student at James Madison University, so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends on weekdays and weekends when not in school! I have a flexible schedule at school and am more than able to drop in for quick potty breaks during the school day as well. If there is not fenced in yard, I keep dogs on a leash at all times to ensure safety. I never allow pets to be near human food unless authorized due to allergies and special accommodations. I spend lots of time giving your pets attention, love , and care while their best friends are away!

About: In addition to caring for my own dog and cat, I've also helped with my neighbor's dog, and my sister's dogs. I've got a fully fenced in back yard that's almost a full acre. And my german shepherd is incredibly sweet and gentle around other animals. I keep my weekends free so I can hang out with your pet! With school out my 15 year old daughter is home too and is eager to help love on some new pooches. My mother is also home most of the time working, and we are used to loud dog barks! In my home I have a German shepherd upstairs full time and a pit bull mix downstairs in the afternoon. Both are sweet and energetic and love new dogs! My cat does better with people, but she knows how to stay out of dodge when its needed. We do crate our dog when we leave the house but she free roams at night, alternating between the bed and the floor and the couch as she pleases. I would require your dog to be crate trained in case I need to leave the house during a boarding session. In your home, your rule is law. Whether its feeding your cat a carefully measured amount of wet food or keeping the litter box filled exactly half way, your standards are mine and I'm happy to go the extra mile. Likewise for a doggy drop-in to walk and feed. I always pick up after my pet on a walk so your neighbors have nothing to fear from me. And I'm used to reigning in a 90lb German shepherd who wants to make friends with every neighborhood stray cat so you can rest assured that I can keep hold of your dog on a walk.

Chloe was really great to work with our big dog. He has separation anxiety and can be a nervous and shy dog. She did a meet and greet beforehand, listened and asked questions about him. She also sent lots of photos and updates on his first day to make sure we knew he had settled and was doing okay. Really great experience to have for our 80lbs sensitive boy. Thank you!

Penny and Evan were great with our little “high anxiety” fur baby. During the “meet and greet” Penny had us come in and take him straight to the fenced back yard where he could sniff around and go to the bathroom. Knowing about his anxiety, once we went back inside, Penny never tried to pet him, she just allowed him to get used to her being in the room. She was a very calming presence for him. Evan likewise was patient with him and allowed him the time it took to settle and get comfortable. We are thrilled to have found Penny and Even and the bonus is that they live about 4 minutes from our house! We have already booked the next daycare appointment!

About: There have also been pets in my house and I have also made myself available to pet sit for friends and family. I am flexible in when and how to care for your smallest or largest family member. I am a runner so I would love to have a buddy join me on a run, jog, or even a walk. I can care for your pup at my house or your house which ever one you would be comfortable with. At the moment I can be open anytime of the week, and visiting houses multiple times in the day to ensure that your furry friend feelings loved and cared for throughout the day. Whether that's a potty break, a snack, or a big ole tummy rub. I’m a teacher on summer break though I do have a part time evening job that starts at 430 my husband comes home at 4 and probably loves dogs even more than me. I have a large fenced backyard and plenty of room in my house for exploring. We do have a small rescue Chihuahua, but she is friendly and very kind.

If your dog can be left for 8 hours, boarding continues to be available during the school year. I have a fenced in backyard where your dog can play. If they like to play with a buddy, my dog will be their best friend!

Marah is the best dogsitter on this app. She will treat your dog like it's hers. My dog loves going to Marah's and she is always tired and happy when I pick her up. Marah is extremely friendly and makes sure that your dog is well taken care of. I never have to worry about my dog with her because she will have the best of care! I would give Marah a 10 out 5 if I could.

About: My own pets are my entire heart, I know how stressful it can be searching for someone to love your baby while you’re busy! I would like to add my pets DO stay with my family full time when I am with yours! I ensure that I will treat your pet with the best care of my ability, striving to make them as comfortable as my own. I have previous experience working in a vet, as well as experience in a doggy daycare holding a roll as a behavioral trainer. I have no bigger passion than the one I hold for animals, and I truly feel lucky to be able to work with them. A little about me personally, I am saving to take courses through the Karen Pryor Academy so I can become a registered dog trainer. I am currently pursuing pet services as a complete source of employment, so I can be with your pets full time!! I love to spend time hiking, at the beach, or snuggled up with my own animals(or yours!) watching a good movie. Pet care IS my schedule.I can come for visits at ANY time! If I am scheduled for house sitting, I will be with your fur babies full time!! *Note, if I am scheduled for a check in or walk while I am house sitting for you, would be gone 5 hours or less. I WOULD be with your pet the entire night! I hope to leave your home better than when I arrive, as I hold great respect for people allowing me into their spaces and trusting me with their furry family. I am more than happy to take them on adventures or keep them snuggled up in the house. I do currently work Monday thru Friday 8-4 with quite a bit of flexibility. I have made my service area smaller so that I can stay close to my job and be able to tend to the needs of coming home on lunch, going in late, leaving early, or anything that I can do to make it work with your babies! I try to make sure to follow the routine they are used to so everyone feels as comfy as possible. I always require a meet before the time of me coming over so you get a good understanding of me as a person and I have no confusion on the best ways to take care of your babies.

Every dog is different and I am able to adjust however they are needing me to.

About: There have also been pets in my house and I have also made myself available to pet sit for friends and family. I am flexible in when and how to care for your smallest or largest family member. I am a runner so I would love to have a buddy join me on a run, jog, or even a walk. I can care for your pup at my house or your house which ever one you would be comfortable with. At the moment I can be open anytime of the week, and visiting houses multiple times in the day to ensure that your furry friend feelings loved and cared for throughout the day. Whether that's a potty break, a snack, or a big ole tummy rub. I’m a teacher on summer break though I do have a part time evening job that starts at 430 my husband comes home at 4 and probably loves dogs even more than me. I have a large fenced backyard and plenty of room in my house for exploring. We do have a small rescue Chihuahua, but she is friendly and very kind.

Zoe was great! She was always on-schedule and was very patient with my weird little girl. She does things like hiding when it's time to go out and then pulling a LOT once you finally get her out. But Zoe never complained and always hung around with the baby for a few minutes of love and play after the walk. My schedule has changed and no longer need a dog-walker, but if I ever need one again, will definitely look for her!

About: Dogs have been part of my life since day one. I’ve trained two dogs on invisible fence systems myself, so I understand structure, patience, and what it takes to keep a dog safe, happy, and well-behaved. Your dog isn’t just a booking to me. I’m a college student home for the summer with a wide open schedule, meaning flexible drop-ins, and last-minute bookings are no problem. Your dog gets my full attention, not just a quick check-in between a packed day. Every dog that I meet gets treated like family. I’m attentive, patient, and consistent. I respect each dog’s routine, personality, and boundaries, and I make sure their environment feels safe and comfortable whether we’re at my place or yours.

I contacted Marah very last minute to watch my dogs for me for the weekend and she responded almost instantly. When i took my dogs over for a quick meet and greet they immediately made friends with the other dogs there and Marah treated them like they were her own. I received picture and text updates about how they were doing daily. They got to play with other dogs at her house and at the dog park over the weekend which I'm sure they loved. When i picked then up on Sunday they were both thoroughly exhausted. I will definitely be bringing them back

My Shitzhu twins spent their first stay with John. I could not have asked for a better caregiver. John gave regular updates, spent quality time with the dogs, and provided absolutely first-class care, as good or better than if they were at home. They will definitely be visiting John again.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Penny and Evan. I had a last-minute, same-day request for someone to watch my two dogs, Bella and Milo. Bella has severe anxiety (just like her mama) and takes medication three times a day, so leaving her is never easy for me. When I came across Penny and Evan’s profile and saw their picture, I immediately felt at peace. I just knew these were the people I wanted caring for my babies. They accepted my request quickly, and within a few hours I was able to bring Bella and Milo to their home. From the moment we arrived, Penny was warm, kind, and incredibly welcoming. She immediately took us to the backyard so the dogs could sniff and explore. She thoughtfully explained their setup, including a separate area in case bigger dogs were present, which gave me even more confidence in their safety and comfort. Inside, she allowed Bella and Milo to explore freely and get comfortable. She carefully gathered all of my information, emergency contacts, medication instructions, and even provided her personal number. She made sure she had mine as well. That level of thoroughness meant so much to me. When I left, I truly had zero worries. That says everything. Even though I was only gone one night, I received multiple updates, pictures, and even a video. I could see my dogs were relaxed and felt safe — which is especially important for my anxious Bella girl. Seeing her calm brought me more relief than I can explain. When I picked them up, they greeted me with all the kisses I could possibly dream of. Milo even turned back as if he wanted to say goodbye to Penny, which told me everything I needed to know. They were content on the ride home — either completely relaxed or happily worn out from their wonderful adventure! Because of Bella’s anxiety, I have often avoided traveling or visiting family. We’ve tried multiple medications and behavioral treatments over the years. Finding Penny and Evan feels like such a blessing. They reassured me that my babies were happy and that they look forward to seeing them again — and I truly believe it. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pets like their own, communicate clearly, and give you complete peace of mind, look no further. Penny and Evan are absolute gems. We will absolutely be back.

I hit the jackpot when I found Katie. I was so nervous about leaving my Labradoodle with someone overnight. She sent me updates and pictures the entire time he was with her to put me at ease. She was so attentive to him as well, especially since he’s so shy. I will definitely book her again for Bert. She was so good with him.

About: I began volunteering at my local animal shelter at the age of 9 and have been caring for animals ever since. I have 20 years experience pet sitting for neighbors and I have my own 6 year old pitbull, Cleo, so I’m no stranger to energetic dogs. I’m a teacher, so my summers give me full flexibility to care for your animals! I love to walk dogs on local greenways and trails. SCHOOL YEAR UPDATE: I’m still happy to provide boarding, walking, and drop in visits outside of school hours. I am unable to be home or care for pets from 7am-3pm each day. If your dog can be left for 8 hours, boarding continues to be available during the school year. I have a fenced in backyard where your dog can play. If they like to play with a buddy, my dog will be their best friend!

Kimberly is a gem! Charlie Mae had an amazing time and left a happy and tired puppy! Kimberly sent photos everyday and kept us updated on everything.

Gretchen is amazing. She takes her services seriously. She was very good with the dogs. She communicates and updates you with pictures and texts. Didnt have to ask how they were, she reached before I even thought about it. Don't hesitate using her. My dogs were well taken care of and the personal service she provides to accommodate different personalities is top notch.

Taylor kept our Golden Retriever for the week of Thanksgiving with very little notice. She was very friendly and played with our dog and sent us pictures to keep posted on his daily adventures. We will definitely trust Taylor to care for our beloved pet in the future!
