“Amber was a great host to our fur baby! When we dropped him off, it was like we didn’t exist! lol He had already established a connection. We also loved that Amber wanted to meet with us first which meant a lot. Overall, her communication was great, we got pictures along his stay and he gained a friend!”

“Connie is amazing! My dog loved her stay there playing with the other dogs. More importantly, I was completely at ease knowing that she was in good hands. So happy to have found Connie!”

“We always have the best experience with Kathryn! She took care of our girl so well and kept us updated consistently while we were away. Cannot recommend her enough!!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with this wonderful couple. They took amazing care of my dog, Liara, at their farm, providing a safe, loving, and spacious environment surrounded by farm animals, which made her stay even more enriching. It was clear from the start that they genuinely care about the animals they look after. What truly stood out was their kindness and flexibility when my travel plans unexpectedly changed. When my flight got cancelled, they didn’t hesitate to continue caring for Liara, going above and beyond to help me during a stressful situation. That level of understanding and commitment is rare and deeply appreciated. I’m incredibly grateful for their care, communication, and generosity. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate dog sitters—I will absolutely be reaching out to them again in the future.”

“Mocha enjoyed her stay with Julie, she loved running around the farm and playing with the other pups 🥰 I appreciated all the pictures & videos that were sent. Definitely would use have Julie watch over Mocha again.”

“Jeleesa and her sweet family took incredible care of my dog, Penny. She asked all the right questions, made sure Penny stuck to her walk and feeding schedule, and sent so many amazing photos and videos. Penny does not trust easily, but within 30 minutes of me dropping her off, she trusted Jeleesa enough to be pet on the stomach! We will definitely be coming back for all of our dog sitting needs.”

“My husband and I could not be more pleased with all the love and attention to detail that they provided for our dog Spot for 5 days while we went on an out of town trip. Spot is somewhat shy and anxious, but this wonderful family provided for all his needs as evident in all the pictures and comments that we received several times through out the days of our trip. Any one looking for that special family to sit your pet, you have found them!”

“Highly recommend! She took amazing care of our dog, kept us updated with messages and pictures. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such great hands. Will definitely book again!”

“Traci was incredible! She was loving and caring to our golden girl and gave daily updates. She made sure my dog was comfortable and understood my dog's needs. Most importantly, I felt confident my dog was being taken care of in a safe home. Would not hesitate to book with Traci again”

“Audree is a great dog sitter & our puppy loves it at her home. He loves playing with the other dogs and I get plenty of pictures to see he is having a good. Audree is very experienced & has provided helpful hints, especially when Cornelius was only a few months old & I was just finding my way as a puppy mom.”

“I’m so glad we found Hannah! Our pups instantly felt comfortable and affectionate toward her, which can be harder for my more anxious pup. Hannah asked wonderful questions to understand my dogs’ needs/habits. I can tell she has a big heart for furry friends and treats them like members of the family. We got daily, thorough updates and photos so we knew what adventures they had that day and to reassure us that they felt at home. I will definitely be using Hannah again. Thank you!!”

“Kristina was amazing! She was so responsive and accommodating, even taking our pups in last minute. From the start, she was warm and welcoming, and we could tell our dogs were loved and well cared for while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with Kristina again!”


“She is wonderful, you can see in her eyes she loves every dog she takes care of. She treats them as family. It’s very heartwarming to meet someone like her to care for my doggy. We’ll be back! :)”

“Even though my request was last minute, Sonja and Phil were kind enough to accept and take care of Leo. I could tell Leo was well cared for and in good hands while I was away. I really appreciated their flexibility and willingness to help on such short notice. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend”

“Christie was great - kept us informed, sent us videos and took plenty of time to get to know our doodle puppy and gave her plenty of exercise and love. Also, when a massive rainstorm hit just before pickup, she gave us some extra time to get which was greatly appreciated. She is caring and offered suggestions about diet and treats and worked with her on her first nite getting to sleep in a strange place. Her large doodle ended up being a great play buddy outside. We will use her again for sure.”

“I had a last minute trip and Ligia was able to watch my two fur babies. When I went over to drop my babies off, she made them feel right at home. She even went above and beyond for my fur pups. I will definitely bring them back to her. My fur pups were totally happy, which made me happy.”


“Our senior lady was in great hands! Sarah made sure to send us daily updates with photos and videos. We will definitely book with them next time we’re going out of town.”

“We had such a great experience boarding our dog with Yeny and Ray. They were incredibly caring and attentive from start to finish. Pedro felt right at home — they sent us regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. You can tell they genuinely love dogs and treat them like family. When we picked our dog up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving family to care for their dog! 🐾💛”

“Jessica did an awesome job. Took the time to sit and get and know my cats who are normally pretty timid to strangers. The warmed up to her in record time. Thank you so much!”


“Mary is amazing! We have kittens that are not socialized and hide whenever anyone comes to the house. Mary was able to gain their trust so that she would see them and assure us that our kitties were doing well. Will definitely book Mary for future trips!”

“Ligia has been caring for our six cats for several months, for one to two weeks at a time. She is attentive to them and ensures that any messes are promptly cleaned up. She also brings in mail and will water the flowers. We are very happy with her services and highly recommend her to all our friends and neighbors.”


“Katherine was SO GREAT with my cat Clio!! Spent lots of time with her, sent the best pictures, and replied so fast! I will definitely be reaching out to her for future trips & I highly recommend!”

“We've booked Sara four times so far. She is consistently thorough, flexible, and responsive. I have peace of mind during a trip, knowing that Sara is taking care of our pets.”


“I cannot recommend Juliann enough!!!! She was so lovely and easy to communicate with, and she made time to meet with us before our trip so we could speak with her about our cats! It made us feel so much more at ease. While we were on the trip, she sent us a ton of photos and updates! She did everything we asked and even stayed a little longer for some visits to give the cats extra love! Very easy 5 stars :)”


About: I have had experience with cats for many years but I just recently got my own and started watching other peoples cats. In the photo is my sweet girl, Sharkie. I am able to feed, play (if they please), snuggle, clean litter boxes, anything needed to keep your kitty happy!!
“Elizabeth is an amazing Rover! She cared for our senior cat and provided compassionate care. She was very responsible and followed all instructions perfectly. She sent us daily photos and updates. We came home to a very happy cat and everything was left neat and orderly. We appreciate you Elizabeth! Thank you so much! 🐈”


About: I’ve had pets most of my life, and I’ve taken care of friends and families cats and dogs while they’re away. I love love love animals and will do everything I can to make sure your pet is loved and cared for while you’re away. I also want to provide you a stress-free experience!
“Hailey is absolutely THE BEST rascal sitter EVER! My two babies just LOVE her! Fleury is usually much slower at warming up to people but he goes right to Hailey like he's known her forever! I love the personal attention and all the pics Hailey sends me. I feel so relieved knowing Sadie and Fleury are not just being fed but getting loved on as well! Thank you Hailey for another great visit!!”


“Amanda was amazing. She was super communicative and we loved getting our check ins from Rover from her! We felt very comfortable as she explained exactly how our babies were acting that day and how she was taking care of them. She was such a great person to have take care of our babies and was so sweet towards us and worked with our requests. I will definitely be booking again!”

About: I have two dogs of my own that have taught me so much. Both of mine have reactive tendencies, so I am no stranger to dogs that need a little extra patience. I have spent many hours in training with my pups, so if you’re looking for someone to help reinforce some skills at home, I can do that! One of my dogs is also epileptic, so I have experience with complex medical needs as well. I have spent the past few months volunteering at a local dog shelter twice a week and I have genuinely loved spending time with the dogs and getting to know them and watch them blossom and find furever homes. I’m looking forward to spending even more time with some incredible furry friends! I currently do not work, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m open to one time sits/walks or something recurring! Overnights are not currently an option for me as I have my own pups to care for. I am looking for jobs at your home (or out an about); I do not offer in-my-home care at this time. But I can come over and spend time with your pet(s) while you’re at work or on date-night, stop in for walks or feeds/potty breaks, or take your dog on an outing like a hike or a trip to downtown! I’m flexible and open to whatever you and your pet need.

“Stephanie was out of this world amazing. This is the longest I left our shy little kitty & I was super nervous. I asked for frequent updates & Stephanie absolutely delivered. She got in lots of play time, snuggles & treats but made sure to not force anything on our girl. Stephanie was so understanding, patient and kind and really helped us to be able to relax on our vacation. I couldn’t be happier or more grateful we booked her. Thanks Stephanie!”


About: My first cat was named Jasper. He was a tiger stripe American shorthair with Jasper colored eyes (hence his name). He was a stray we took in, and we noticed he had a slight limp. After a visit to the vet, and some x-rays were taken, it was clear his left hip had been injured when he was younger (vet approximated his age to be 10 at the time). I cared for him while he had his cone, after his leg was amputated (poor guy!), ensuring he received the proper medications on time. My second cat was an all-black stray (not sure his breed), but I named him Kuro. I had him for a year and some change and gave him to my friend after moving to a pet-free community. I missed having a cat, so I searched and found Naruto, who was only 10 days old, and I adopted him on the spot! I've taught him all his little quirks, including back-talking lol! I trained him to come at the sound of a particular whistle, to jump up on something after I tap, or scrape it in a certain pattern, and taught him to play fetch! I am able to administer medications Intravenous, or Sub-q, as well as advise on best care practices!
“Loved having Kim watch my cats. She was prompt and professional, taking notes to be able to care for my three cats. We had a worry free vacation knowing our animals were being well taken care of with regular updates.”

“Lorraine was able to come watch my babies last minute and did an amazing job. She was friendly and keep me updated on how my babies wore doing and send pics. Because of her I was able to have a worry free vacation. Will hire her again in the future.”

“Ligia is by far the best doggy sitter in the world! I had never left my fur baby with anybody else before but Ligia reassured me that he would have a great day and he sure did! Every time I leave Harley at her house, I get pictures of him playing with other dogs and constant updates on how he’s doing. Ligia has helped Harley be able to socialize with other dogs and the best part is that I know he has a fantastic time with her. He’s always super excited to go to her house and play with his best friend, Ducky. I am so happy and blessed that I found Ligia! I absolutely recommend her and her services. Harley and I couldn’t be happier!!”


“Jacob and Sarah were great! My dog did awesome with them and they took really good care of him! They are flexible and very nice people who truly love animals. I highly recommend them!!”


“Amber was absolutely fantastic! She’s very professional and regularly updated me on my pup’s stay! It was Chase’s first stay. I was nervous about leaving him, but Amber put my anxieties at ease! I highly recommend Amber!!!”

About: From cats and dogs to cattle and kangaroos, I've worked with hundreds of different animals. When it comes to our fur babies, I have trained and shown dogs for 9 years, whilst working in veterinary settings with my family since I was 8. Older dogs and puppies require extra care, and I am totally able to keep close to your pets to help them out. I currently have a remote job, so I can do my work while house sitting to make things easier. If anything ever came up, you would be the first to know - well in advance. I'm extremely flexible with my schedule and routines for dog walking at any hour of the day (or night). If it's dog sitting at your home, I'll likely stay the night unless that's something you aren't comfortable with. And to cover my end of things, I ask for an in-person meet and greet so I can let the pets get to know me before hanging out with them while you're away. This is also to go over questions, feeding, bathroom / walking routines, and more.
“Linda and family took great care of Layla. She stresses easily in her old age but not at all stressed with them. They communicated with me several times during her stay and even sent pictures. Highly recommend!”

“I was so happy to find this sitter! We just adopted a rescue dog. He has a lot of anxiety. He needs special care while he is adjusting to his new home. Because of his anxiety he needs a low stimulation environment. She has been so good working with my dogs special needs! I can’t say enough good about her!! We are so grateful for the care she has given our dog!!”

About: Been taking care of pets since I was in Highschool. It was always a fun way to get my pet fix since we didn’t have any growing up! Stay at home mom of 3 young boys so I’m always home. This will give us a new purpose during the day which is much needed. It will also give me the chance to spend time with all these sweet animals instead of trying to own a million of them myself 😂 A bonus of booking with me is your pet will get lots of one on one attention as this is not like your average corporate kennel. We provide a cozy environment within our home. Your animals will get all the love and attention all the while getting treated as one of our own🤍 I am trying to put my sweet boys through private school and thought this would be an awesome way to do so since it’s something me and my whole family will love! Big animal lovers over here:) We will provide a loving home with a big fenced in back yard for all to play. Can’t wait to love on and help take care of/entertain your fur babies!
“We LOVE Miss Connie! Our 10 month old pup came home tired from a day of playing...and a tired pup is the best kind. Our old lady actually played and came home tired too! Thank you for all the care and love you give them Connie!”
About: I have always had a dog for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and I love them. We currently have two dogs. I have a male Golden doodle named Bo and a female Teddy Bear named Annie. I like to walk the dogs for two 30 minute walks a day. I’m a stay at home, homeschooling mom. I have a 7 year old, 10 year old, 13 year old and 16 year old at home. Everyone loves dogs. We have a routine with the dogs and they are part of the family. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I am a firm believer that dogs need to be walked. I walk my dogs for 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon on a walking path behind my house. I keep jingle bells on my door and my dogs ring them to go outside to potty. I have options to separate dogs if necessary. Dogs are separated at feeding time.
About: I am a very detail oriented, dependable and responsible person, but most of all - I have a heart for animals (especially doggies)! I was the kid that snuck puppies into my bedroom, found a stray kitten and spent all the time in the world to make them feel safe until they played with me. I love being around animals and taking care of them, as they provide the best unconditional love and give back in more ways than one. I know how hard and stressful it can be to leave your fur babies all alone when you're away, so I want to share my love and care to ensure the best care for you and your fur babies! I am very flexible! Just give me a call to set up a meet n greet. I can work with you to accommodate your needs. I’m happy to house sit in your home or take care of your fur baby in my home. Of course, I do a meet n greet to ensure everyone is comfortable!
“Christie brought a sense of calmness towards our Joji as soon as we arrived. She is very sweet, friendly, and flexible - it was a plus that she was able to work with our hours, we’ll definitely book her again :)”


“Maria and her husband are wonderful! They have taken such amazing care of our pup!! She is always happy to see them. They are caring, flexible, and have great communication!”


“Svetlana took great care of our 2 dogs on a last minute notice for the day. She is so kind, and good with the dogs. Her house is clean and tidy (1 of my dogs likes to chew everything), and she has a nice large fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in. I highly recommend her, and will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much!!”

“⸻ Pedro had an amazing day with Yeny and Ray! He got plenty of playtime with his new furry friends, Charlie and Leo. When we got home, Pedro was happily tired and ready for bed. Yeny and Ray sent us photos and videos throughout the day, and communication was great. We’ll definitely book with them again!”

“Amazing experience with Audree. She kept in contact With me while sitting my puppy and consistently sent photos and videos of my puppy and what they were doing . I didn’t have to worry about anything . I will 100% recommend her to anyone and will be booking with her again :)”

“Larissa is SUPER responsive and our dear puppy absolutely adores hanging out with her and her pups! You can always tell he has a WONDERFUL time because he comes home worn out! We are soooo happy that we found Larissa!”

“We were near Fredricksburg for the the weekend and we wanted to go eat at the restaurant so we found Kindall; luckily she was only 4 minutes away from where we wanted to dine. We were able to drop him off , Kindall greeted us outside and Spider felt comfortable right away with her. We felt at eat ease leaving him for about 2 hours. We were able to enjoy our meal without having to rush and even went shopping after. Kindall kept us updated by sending us photos and communicating. We did not have to give her anything as she said she would give him her own treats. We will highly recommend and use Kindall in the future again, she was very sweet and patient with spider.”

Whether it’s belly rubs, walks, or medication—I strive to ensure your furball feels not only cared for but loved as well. While providing consistency, reliability, and most importantly, peace of mind to you. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m naturally nurturing, highly responsible, and always home—perfect for giving your pets the consistent care and attention they deserve. With a flexible schedule and a heart for caregiving, your furry companions will feel safe, loved, and never alone. I have a 2200+ sqft house with plenty of space for playing and exploration as well as multiple quiet cozy nooks separate from the main area, perfect for observing and getting comfortable with new environments and friends. For the pets that prefer the great outdoors our home is on a 1/2 acre lot with a fenced-in backyard that is mostly shaded by multiple large trees to lounge under and provide plenty of birds, squirrels, and rabbits to chase around! Afterwards, a large comfy couch and doggy bed await in the main living room space so your pup can rest and relax with the family. I allow animals on the furniture and bed so they always feel welcome to cuddle up with me for pets and ear rubs. Likewise, at bedtime your furry companion can curl up on the bed or sleep on the plush doggy bed in the comfy nook at the foot of the bed. My goal is to ensure that at all points of their adventure they feel a part of the family.

About: Hi there! 🐾 With over 10 years of equine handling experience and many years of dog and pet sitting, I’ve learned that great pet care goes beyond simply being present, it’s about being observant, consistent, and reliable. I take pride in providing calm, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to each animal’s unique needs, whether they’re energetic, shy, senior, or somewhere in between. I’m very mindful of routines, body language, and individual personalities, and I believe patience and consistency make all the difference in helping pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I value clear, open communication and always make it a priority to keep owners informed and at ease. From daily visits to extended stays, my goal is to provide a dependable, low-stress experience for both pets and their people. I treat every animal with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’d be honored to care for your pets and farm animals alike. Rates are not set in stone, I am happy to work with you to ensure your pet gets the care they deserve. I work part-time, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends. This flexibility gives me the ability to provide consistent, attentive care, accommodate a variety of routines, and spend meaningful, unhurried time with your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very mindful of both the animals and the space they live in. I approach each visit with a safety-first mindset, taking care to secure doors, gates, and feeding areas, and to follow all instructions exactly as given. I’m attentive to subtle changes in behavior or environment and respond calmly and responsibly if anything seems out of the ordinary. I understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home, and I treat that responsibility with respect and professionalism. My goal is to provide a steady, reliable presence so pets remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and owners can feel confident knowing their home and animals are in careful hands.

“Connie is amazing! My dog loved her stay there playing with the other dogs. More importantly, I was completely at ease knowing that she was in good hands. So happy to have found Connie!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with this wonderful couple. They took amazing care of my dog, Liara, at their farm, providing a safe, loving, and spacious environment surrounded by farm animals, which made her stay even more enriching. It was clear from the start that they genuinely care about the animals they look after. What truly stood out was their kindness and flexibility when my travel plans unexpectedly changed. When my flight got cancelled, they didn’t hesitate to continue caring for Liara, going above and beyond to help me during a stressful situation. That level of understanding and commitment is rare and deeply appreciated. I’m incredibly grateful for their care, communication, and generosity. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate dog sitters—I will absolutely be reaching out to them again in the future.”

Hannah asked wonderful questions to understand my dogs’ needs/habits. I can tell she has a big heart for furry friends and treats them like members of the family. We got daily, thorough updates and photos so we knew what adventures they had that day and to reassure us that they felt at home. I will definitely be using Hannah again. Thank you!!”

“Kristina was amazing! She was so responsive and accommodating, even taking our pups in last minute. From the start, she was warm and welcoming, and we could tell our dogs were loved and well cared for while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with Kristina again!”

“Even though my request was last minute, Sonja and Phil were kind enough to accept and take care of Leo. I could tell Leo was well cared for and in good hands while I was away. I really appreciated their flexibility and willingness to help on such short notice. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend”

“Christie was great - kept us informed, sent us videos and took plenty of time to get to know our doodle puppy and gave her plenty of exercise and love. Also, when a massive rainstorm hit just before pickup, she gave us some extra time to get which was greatly appreciated. She is caring and offered suggestions about diet and treats and worked with her on her first nite getting to sleep in a strange place. Her large doodle ended up being a great play buddy outside. We will use her again for sure.”

“I had a last minute trip and Ligia was able to watch my two fur babies. When I went over to drop my babies off, she made them feel right at home. She even went above and beyond for my fur pups. I will definitely bring them back to her. My fur pups were totally happy, which made me happy.”


“Our senior lady was in great hands! Sarah made sure to send us daily updates with photos and videos. We will definitely book with them next time we’re going out of town.”

“We had such a great experience boarding our dog with Yeny and Ray. They were incredibly caring and attentive from start to finish. Pedro felt right at home — they sent us regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. You can tell they genuinely love dogs and treat them like family. When we picked our dog up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving family to care for their dog! 🐾💛”

“Amazing! She is the kindest animal lover. I feel like my girl had summer camp and a week with grandma all rolled together. She gave great daily feedback and supportive pictures to get me through my separation anxiety. I am so glad I went this route and didn’t board my girl.”

“Tracey was AMAZING with my boy Jack. She sent pictures & updates daily, which I and my kids loved. She took him on multiple walks and a dog park daily. He came home and didn't move because he was so wore out. I really enjoyed her open communication. I will definitely be using Tracey in the future for Jack's boarding needs!”

“I was worried about leaving my cat with a sitter for over 5 days, but Linaixa put my worries to rest. From the very start, she and her husband were very loving and patient with my cat. Sent me updates on Sweetie every day. I will definitely recommend Linaixa to watch your child.”

“Such a great experience! We felt like our dog was safe, happy and on his own little fun vacation playing with their dog! Lorena and her family are perfectly set up for a fun time for your pup! Very sweet people, you can definitely trust them! She even sent us updates and photos! The next time we are in that area we will be requesting her for sure! thanks Lorena!!!”
