Karen was amazing with my dog! She has a nice outdoor pen where hers and the dogs she’s sitting for can run around and enjoy some play time. When it comes to the night, she has individual heated pens so your fur baby can have their own private space. She sent me pictures and my dog looked like he was having the time of his life! I will definitely be booking Karen in the future if I’m ever in town again!

Christine was super with Joey, who is a 9 month old 63 pound puppy. I was concerned about her getting along with other dogs. Christine's knowledge and experience came through and she was able to introduce Joey to new dogs successfully, and all were happy and played together. I received lots of pictures and updates which helped me to relax and have a great vacation. Would I have Christine take care of Joey again, absolutely no question about it, she did a great job.

Sammy was excellent! She and her adorable dog took great care of our puppy for a week while we were out of town. They even taught him excellent manners. He came back better behaved than he was when we left him. She sent lots of photos and videos and it was clear he was having a blast and getting lots of play time and cozy time. I definitely recommend Sammy.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family since before I could drive. You name it; dogs, cats, rabbits, chinchillas - I’ve watched them. So if you have other animals that need care, the more the merrier! I love dogs and will be as excited to give your dog a walk as they are! I can give references phone numbers upon request. I have helped train dogs and puppies throughout the years. I may even be able to teach your dog a new trick 😉 I have great patience and a calm, easy-going nature. My husband and myself have opened our home with a very large fenced in backyard to welcome your dogs. Between the two of us, your dogs will feel right at home. My husband is also certified in dog massages (yes it’s a thing! 😅) so if you have a pup with joint or mobility issues, he can assist with that as a bonus! If you are welcoming me into your home, I will be sure it looks just as good as when you left it in my care. Please send me a request to chat about your furry family member - I look forward to meeting you! I currently work part-time and my husband also has a flexible schedule to ensure your dogs have the attention they need during their stay with us. We have a comfortable environment with a large fenced in backyard for your dog to play in and have frequent potty breaks. If your dog needs their own space, we have extra rooms in the house that can be their own during their stay.

About: Hi, I’m Izzy! I’ve been a professional dog trainer for nearly 4 years, with 8 years of animal care, and am KPA-CCT certified, an AKC evaluator, and experienced with both pet and working dogs. I offer pet sitting and boarding that blends comfort with structure. Your dog will get personalized care, enrichment, and positive experiences while you’re away. Whether you have a high energy puppy or a dog in training, I ensure they stay safe, happy, and well mannered. I currently make my own schedule, with the exception of Fridays, where I’m busy from 1pm-6pm. I love to hike and jog trails, so I typically take my pets with. I also have a pond where we swim in the summer. Safety is always my top priority. I maintain a secure, dog-friendly environment where every pet is supervised and set up for success. I manage introductions carefully, use gates and crates when needed, and never leave dogs unattended together. My home is fully fenced, and I monitor play to ensure everyone stays happy and stress-free. I also follow each owner’s feeding, medication, and training routines closely to keep things consistent and safe.

This was my 2nd trip away with Mackena caring for my kitty this past year. It was just 2 weeks after my other kitty passed away, so I was worried about leaving my kitty alone for a number of days under the circumstances. Mackena gave Tillie such wonderful attention and made sure she had everything she needed. I received videos and pictures of playtime, snuggle time and treat time as well as a detailed update on what happened on each visit. Would highly recommend Mackena to care for your furry friend and will definitely book with her again. Thank you SO much for the peace of mind while I was away!

About: I’ve been a proud dog owner for over 15 years, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained hands on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pups. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve volunteered at local animal shelters, where I helped walk, feed, and socialize dogs from all backgrounds. I'm comfortable with a variety of breeds and activity levels, and I always tailor my approach to each dog’s individual needs, whether it’s a long walk for an active dog, playtime and enrichment for a curious pup, or calm companionship for an older one. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, safe, and loved. I don't have much experience with cats but am eager to learn and help any cat parent that needs it. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to check on or walk pets during the day or anytime during the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m walking your dog, visiting for a drop in, or staying in your home, I make sure each pet feels relaxed, secure, and loved. During walks, I always use secure leashes, avoid unsafe areas, and keep a close eye on your dog’s behavior and surroundings. For drop in visits, I follow your routine for feeding, playtime, and potty breaks to keep things consistent and stress free. When staying in your home, I treat your space with respect and keep everything clean and tidy while maintaining your pet’s usual schedule.

About: As a proud cat parent to two spoiled felines, a curious Bengal and a chatty Oriental Shorthair, I know just how unique and particular cats can be. Whether your kitty is playful and energetic or prefers quiet companionship, I’m here to provide the personalized care they need while you’re away. From feeding and litter box maintenance to playtime, brushing, and cuddles (if they’re into that!), I’ll treat your cat like one of my own. I understand cat body language, respect their space, and know how to earn their trust, on their terms, of course!

About: Hi! I understand how important it is for your feline friend to feel loved and cared for in their own environment. While I don’t have a furry friend of my own, I care daily for my grandfather's two cats, Ireland and Tao, who have taught me so much about the unique personalities that cats can have. Additionally, I've gained experience caring for kittens I’ve found and nurtured until I could find them loving homes. I have hands-on experience ensuring cats get the attention they need, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or maintaining a clean and comfortable space. I recognize how important routine is for cats, so I make sure they’re fed on time, receive enough playtime, and enjoy a clean, cozy environment while you're away. Rest assured, I’m flexible and happy to accommodate any specific care routines your cat may have. Your cat’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities.

About: I have had animals since I was very young so lots of experience. Have owned 3 rescue dogs who are just like members of my family. Recently, I have been helping friends with their animals when they vacation and am looking to extend my client group to the local area. I am very active so walking dogs is very enjoyable for me. I am free most mornings and nights and have longer breaks during my work day that would allow flexibility for drop ins and walks all week. I am able to come to your home and provide for your pet's needs including walks, feeding, potty breaks etc. I've even been known to clean a litter box or two. Can provide references upon request.

About: Nestled in the quiet countryside, I offer loving, in-home boarding for dogs and cats in a peaceful, natural setting. With plenty of fresh air, daily walks, and attentive care, your pets are treated like family while they’re away from home. Able to care for animals at all stages in their life. I love taking long walks with canine companions! Your dogs will not be unleashed on a walk unless your specify! A client’s cat or dog fits naturally into my daily routine because their care is built around their needs, not a rigid schedule. Each day follows a calm, predictable flow—morning feedings, medications if needed, fresh air, walks or supervised outdoor time for dogs, and quiet check-ins or play for cats—mirroring what they’re used to at home as closely as possible. Throughout the day, I weave in one-on-one attention, enrichment, rest, and observation, so pets aren’t just “fit in,” but thoughtfully included in a rhythm that keeps them comfortable, engaged, and well cared for from morning to night. Tailoring your services starts with seeing each pet as an individual, not a “one-size-fits-all” guest. Begin with a detailed intake or meet-and-greet to learn the pet’s routine, personality, energy level, medical needs, fears, and preferences. From there, you can adjust care in a few key ways: • Routine-based care: Match feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, and sleep habits as closely as possible to what the pet is used to at home. • Personality-aware handling: Offer extra quiet and space for shy or senior pets, more structured play and exercise for high-energy dogs, and gentle, low-stress interactions for anxious animals. • Health-focused support: Follow specific instructions for medications, mobility limits, special diets, or senior care, and keep careful notes so nothing is missed. • Environment choices: Decide whether a pet thrives with social interaction or prefers solo time, indoor lounging, or outdoor exploration in your country setting.

About: I have always had pets. Whether fish, cats, dogs, small birds. They are part of my family! I’m devoted! And have even resuscitated a gold fish! I work part time during the week watching my grandkids but otherwise have no obligations except to care for your fur babies and ensure your peace 😉 I will ask for instructions and follow them to ensure your pets routine and comfort is foremost beyond keeping doors shut for security. I will not use or bring other pets or materials into your home that would compromise your pets peace and safety. My children are now adults with lives of their own. So I have plenty of time for your fur babies. So, no worries. When I’m caring for your fur-baby, I will always consider your pets safety and well-being first. I understand that little dogs can be fragile. :-) I prefer to care for your pets in your home if possible. Otherwise they must be socialized and okay with my cat. My home is small but I have a yard and lots of walking available - Cats are usually drop-ins at Your home, but if in mine; because I have cats (friendly), I wiIl always see/hear them and be well-looked after. :-)

About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family since before I could drive. You name it; dogs, cats, rabbits, chinchillas - I’ve watched them. So if you have other animals that need care, the more the merrier! I love dogs and will be as excited to give your dog a walk as they are! I can give references phone numbers upon request. I have helped train dogs and puppies throughout the years. I may even be able to teach your dog a new trick 😉 I have great patience and a calm, easy-going nature. My husband and myself have opened our home with a very large fenced in backyard to welcome your dogs. Between the two of us, your dogs will feel right at home. My husband is also certified in dog massages (yes it’s a thing! 😅) so if you have a pup with joint or mobility issues, he can assist with that as a bonus! If you are welcoming me into your home, I will be sure it looks just as good as when you left it in my care. Please send me a request to chat about your furry family member - I look forward to meeting you! I currently work part-time and my husband also has a flexible schedule to ensure your dogs have the attention they need during their stay with us. We have a comfortable environment with a large fenced in backyard for your dog to play in and have frequent potty breaks. If your dog needs their own space, we have extra rooms in the house that can be their own during their stay.

About: I’ve been a proud dog owner for over 15 years, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained hands on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pups. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve volunteered at local animal shelters, where I helped walk, feed, and socialize dogs from all backgrounds. I'm comfortable with a variety of breeds and activity levels, and I always tailor my approach to each dog’s individual needs, whether it’s a long walk for an active dog, playtime and enrichment for a curious pup, or calm companionship for an older one. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, safe, and loved. I don't have much experience with cats but am eager to learn and help any cat parent that needs it. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to check on or walk pets during the day or anytime during the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m walking your dog, visiting for a drop in, or staying in your home, I make sure each pet feels relaxed, secure, and loved. During walks, I always use secure leashes, avoid unsafe areas, and keep a close eye on your dog’s behavior and surroundings. For drop in visits, I follow your routine for feeding, playtime, and potty breaks to keep things consistent and stress free. When staying in your home, I treat your space with respect and keep everything clean and tidy while maintaining your pet’s usual schedule.

Karen was amazing with my dog! She has a nice outdoor pen where hers and the dogs she’s sitting for can run around and enjoy some play time. When it comes to the night, she has individual heated pens so your fur baby can have their own private space. She sent me pictures and my dog looked like he was having the time of his life! I will definitely be booking Karen in the future if I’m ever in town again!

Christine was super with Joey, who is a 9 month old 63 pound puppy. I was concerned about her getting along with other dogs. Christine's knowledge and experience came through and she was able to introduce Joey to new dogs successfully, and all were happy and played together. I received lots of pictures and updates which helped me to relax and have a great vacation. Would I have Christine take care of Joey again, absolutely no question about it, she did a great job.

Sammy was excellent! She and her adorable dog took great care of our puppy for a week while we were out of town. They even taught him excellent manners. He came back better behaved than he was when we left him. She sent lots of photos and videos and it was clear he was having a blast and getting lots of play time and cozy time. I definitely recommend Sammy.

About: Hi, I’m Izzy! I’ve been a professional dog trainer for nearly 4 years, with 8 years of animal care, and am KPA-CCT certified, an AKC evaluator, and experienced with both pet and working dogs. I offer pet sitting and boarding that blends comfort with structure. Your dog will get personalized care, enrichment, and positive experiences while you’re away. Whether you have a high energy puppy or a dog in training, I ensure they stay safe, happy, and well mannered. I currently make my own schedule, with the exception of Fridays, where I’m busy from 1pm-6pm. I love to hike and jog trails, so I typically take my pets with. I also have a pond where we swim in the summer. Safety is always my top priority. I maintain a secure, dog-friendly environment where every pet is supervised and set up for success. I manage introductions carefully, use gates and crates when needed, and never leave dogs unattended together. My home is fully fenced, and I monitor play to ensure everyone stays happy and stress-free. I also follow each owner’s feeding, medication, and training routines closely to keep things consistent and safe.
