“I recommend planning ahead and communicating clearly, as the staff here are busy professionals. They were very accommodating when a change of plans prevented me from picking up my dog before an incoming storm. They patiently waited for me until the next day, and Canelo was returned safe and sound. Thank you Rissa and Dan.”
“Huge thanks to Laura and Shadow for taking such great care of our pup while we were out of town! It gave us such peace of mind knowing that he was safe, loved and having a wonderful time. And we loved all the adorable updates. Thank you!!”

“It was very important to me that Zeus was in truly caring and reliable hands, and Cylir did an amazing job. She took great care of him, gave him lots of walks, attention, and love. I was also absolutely thrilled with the dog play area where Zeus could dig and really enjoy his time. It truly felt like Zeus was on a little vacation 😊 Thank you so much! We’ll definitely be back.”

“Elmer absolutely loved staying with Manjusha and Midhun. They sent so many wonderful updates and photos, and kept him well entertained.

“We had a great experience with Maria watching Parker! She sent daily updates, texts, and photos, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel like he was getting the same love and attention he gets at home. Parker was very well taken care of and seemed to settle right in. She was incredibly responsive, caring, and attentive throughout his stay. We would absolutely recommend her and would trust her with Parker again!”
“Evelin was wonderful with Fletcher! Fletcher had the best time with her and her partner, and loves the dog park in their apartment complex! Evelin sent me lots of pictures throughout his stay and frequent updates. I would definitely have Fletcher stay with her in the future!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs through volunteering at animal shelters for over 12 years. I have experience fostering dogs of all ages, and I am Fear Free certified. I don’t have a dog myself yet, so I’ll love and care for your pup as though they are my own! I work full-time, so I am outside of the home 8+ hours on weekdays. I can provide care in the morning before work and in the evening after work, and on weekends. I am available most holidays as well. I make sure to earn the trust of every animal I work with, which includes respecting their boundaries as we are getting to know each other. That being said, I’ll make sure your pet gets the food, exercise, and attention they need to feel safe and happy while you are away.
“My cat, George loved his stay here! Bobby (and family) took very good care of him. They sent me daily photos of him lounging around or hanging out with their two cats. The kids gave him lots of attention and he got plenty of time to watch birds from the window. Very pleasant experience for myself and George, I would happily book him with Bobby again!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Candi and the care she took with our two dogs. I’ve never felt so comfortable with “boarding” my dogs while I was gone for a long trip. I knew they were being treated like part of her family. She sent videos and pictures to keep me updated. My big dog ended up having some stomach issues and Candi didn’t skip a beat. We called my vet and she picked up some meds and got her back on track. Her four dogs were great with mine - they had such a blast. Not sure who enjoyed the vacation more, me or the dogs. She also has a beautiful acreage for them to run around and get fresh air. Wish I would have found her earlier! Thank you Candi!”
“Wrigley really enjoyed staying with Brenda and her family. He was well cared for and loved. We appreciated the daily updates and pictures. I recommend Brenda and will be reaching out again in the future!”
“Meg was awesome Benny seemed to feel right at home. She made sure to send us lots of pictures which we love. 100% would recommend Meg for your fur babies thanks again.”

“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 have had my own pets since college, but grew up with dogs. I’ve had a range of dogs from border collies, to labs, to Great Danes, to Basset hounds. I also have had numerous cats. All of my dogs have lived long, exceptionally spoiled lives, and I follow current dog training suggestions for behavior. I’ve raised a few litters of Danes, and most recently, a litter of Bassets. I have a full time job during the week so am really only available on weekends, but depending on location, exceptions can be made especially if it is for just check-ins. I’m willing to come to your home and follow your pet rules so your pets stay comfortable and safe, and don’t have their routine disrupted.
About: I have owned cats my whole life, both indoor and outdoor. I am very comfortable providing care to cats of all ages. I have experience caring for senior cats, sick cats, or kittens. I can administer medications if necessary, and can provide the BEST cuddles for your kitties (if they allow it!) I have two cats of my own currently, so I know how mischievous they can be or needing playful stimulation when home alone for too long. I would love to give you peace of mind in making sure your cat is well cared for and looked after when you are away from home.
About: I have dog/cat sat for neighbors when I was younger and I am a huge animal lover. I have experience and will spoil your pet. I currently work Mon-Fri 8am-5pm looking to find a little side gig taking care of peoples pets so they can enjoy getting away every now and then. On leash depends on how the customer cares for their dog. I’m a huge pet lover and love to take care of any size dog or cat.
About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 16 years and have experience with kittens, adults, seniors, and multi-cat households. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication administration, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. I treat every cat as if they were my own and provide dependable, compassionate care while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout their time away.
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: My Lab pups were immediately potty trained at 8 weeks by my carrying them outside upon awakening. All are kind and gentle loving animals that wear smiles on their faces. Very happy. I am retired and flexible. I live at The House on the Rock and love the outdoors, walking the trails and golf. I am also an early riser. I live in a very pet friendly community with our current Lab, Finnegan and Buster the cat. Finnegan is 2 and loves to play with other dogs as well as Buster.
“Candy, her husband and fur babies were so good to my 9 week old springer. They played the whole time and had a great time. I would recommend Candy to anyone. Has a great set up - no worries needed. Thanks again - we will be going back.”
“Louie loves going to daycare at Karen’s! He’s so excited to socialize with Bella and run around the play yard. I can always tell he gets plenty of exercise because he snoozes soon after we get home. Karen goes above and beyond with being flexible and is fast with communication. Thank you Karen for taking care of Louie!”
“Lindsey was great!! We were traveling from Virginia via California with our two dogs for a special family occasion and it was pleasure working with Lindsey! She really knows dogs, is kind, and our dogs were loved and cared for! She made sure to keep them safe and well loved. Thank you Lindsey!”
“Christine is the best! She is so knowledgable about dogs, she gives me great feedback about how Chance is doing. She sends frequent updates/pictures. I really trust her.”
About: I am a previous dog owner and current cat mom. I grew up watching dog and cat training shows on TV and going to in person purebred dog and cat show events. I enjoy spending my time with furry friends. I'm a in-home caregiver to my mom so I have lots of time to take care of your pet. I have weekly events on Sundays and Wednesdays, but can easily work around those times. I have a long line for when your pet is outside and lots of patio seating to supervise and play with your pet the whole time. I also have a crate for indoor use.
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.
“Benny seems to really enjoy his time with Jiayi, he always perks up with excitement when he realizes where he’s going. Jiayi is very responsive and sends lots of pictures and videos throughout the day.”
“Brenda and her girls are dog whispers. They collected our dog, who has bad separation anxiety and he instantly warmed to them, which never happens! They shared lots of photos of him too! When they dropped him off, he was in a happy playful mood, so we knew he had a great time!”
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 grew up with dogs and cats. I also did dog obedience and agility in 4-h. I love getting out to go for walks. I enjoy my time outdoors. I am open to any day of the week at any time. I often get my dog out three times a day for a walk. Depending on the day with my husband schedule, I would need to work around that. I have one dog that is very friendly and high energy at times. She likes to play a little rough and loves making new friends. I get her out 3-4 times a day. Rather that is for an hour long walk or even just going to the bathroom.
About: I'm a lifelong dog and small-animal owner who enjoys all breeds of dogs, from giant to teacup. Over the years, I have enjoyed the canine companionship of an English Springer Spaniel, a pug, and (currently) three dogs: Tallulah (a poodle-cattle dog mix), Ladybug (a teddybear), and Millie (a dachshund mix). All of my dogs have been rescues/adoptions. An animal-lover, I've dog-sat and pet-sat on-and-off for years, caring for dogs, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, and even an iguana or two! I have experience with puppies, elderly dogs, and everything in-between. :-) Currently, I work from my home and am able to set my own hours around whatever hours/days you need me to check in on/sit/walk your dog. I'm very flexible. I'm experienced with giving medications (orally, in the ear, in the eye, on the skin) if needed; and I also love walking dogs, paying attention to the amount of exercise they require individually.
“Sara was incredible and patient walking with our 8 year old GD. Our doggy is big in the outside but little in the inside and Sara treated her with such gentleness. Highly recommend Sara as a dog walker.”
“Alyssa did great! This was the first time someone watched our newly adopted dog so we were nervous, but knowing Alyssa was coming over for a walk/drop-in, made us feel really confident!”
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.
“Lensy is so wonderful! She’s consistently communicative and sends such fun photos. Absolutely incredible to have her care for Petey & shows above and beyond consideration for both my pets :) Look forward to having her walk again!”
About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I was little, between dogs, cats, reptiles, and even farm animals such as dairy cows, pigs, goats, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I can take care of pets at any time of day or night, and I can walk dogs after 4 pm. Tuesday & Thursday, I do have class from 7-10 am. I have a fence for my pets, we play with toys, and we go on walks (depending on the weather). My dog will sleep where she is most comfortable and she always goes to the bathroom on time.
About: I am a very attentive and loving pet sitter :) I grew up around animals and often found myself pet sitting for people in the community throughout my life! I’m happy to accommodate a range of pet parent preferences! From dog walking to house sitting to administering medications, I am confident in my ability to keep your pet baby happy, healthy, and well loved whenever you need the support! I currently nanny from 12:30-4:30 Monday-Friday, so I have a lot of free time to come and spend with your pet! I’m happy to go for morning or afternoon walks, or fill whatever role you need fulfilled during my open schedule! I will come to your home after we discuss what expectations you have for pet care :) I’ll happily keep your pet company while keeping them safe and healthy and well cared for!
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life, from very young to end of life care. Taking care of animals and bonding with them is such a special thing, and I would love to help aid dogs lives through proper exercise! Going into college in the fall and will have a part time job soon; I have plenty of free time to work around with and will be very flexible with my schedule. I currently have one cat (around 3) and one dog (around 10) who I love very much. My dog is getting a little too old to go on longer walks with me so I think this will be a great opportunity to help younger dogs get that exercise in. I’m very easy to talk to and flexible and would be happy to make sure your animal has water after the walk/ a treat and will provide doggy bags for bathroom needs.
