“Cheryl did a great job watching our dog over the weekend. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates. Bailey was happy and rested when we picked her up. Cheryl opens her whole home to the doggies she cares for.”

“Emily and Charles took excellent care of our two fur babies while we were on a 2 week trip. We have no family around and didn't want to burden our friends. It was not an easy decision but Emily and Charles put us at ease before even leaving by being responsive and reliable. Our 2 kitties loved the extra attention while we were gone and we will book the two again for sure.”
“Sophie was wonderful with Reign! She came on short notice to let her out, play with her, and make sure she was fed and well cared for. She was dependable, caring, and gave us peace of mind knowing Reign was in good hands. We really appreciated her flexibility and how great she was with Reign. We will definitely be requesting Sophie again!”
“Emma dropped in on our two cats (one of which needed medication every 12 hrs) during our trip and was very communicative during the visits. She sent pictures every day and even cleaned everything up on the last visit. We will definitely use her again for our next trip.”
“Faith was super flexible and did a great job with Meli! She went out of her way to do a meet and greet, which I really appreciated. Thanks so much for watching my little girl!”
“Wonderful sitter! Took extra care to spend time with our pets to make sure they weren't alone & provided us with updates. We'll absolutely be thrilled to work with Paul again for future trips.”
“Cheryl did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats while I was out of town. She gave an update after each visit, made sure the boys had all their needs taken care of including meds, and hung out with them for a bit too. She clearly cares about her clients and is an excellent communicator. I was able to relax, knowing she was keeping an eye on my cats for me. Highly recommend!”
“Ariel is an upbeat person and my three dogs really loved her during the meet and greet. On the day of her visit, she arrived on time, left me a nice series of pictures and the dogs didn't have problems when she entered the house or took them out. I will definitely book her again.”
“Shannon makes me very comfortable leaving my fur babies, and significantly relieves both mine and my babies separation anxiety. The kitties love her and we call her auntie Shannon, they love to hang out with her. Would recommend x100!!!”
“They did a wonderful job caring for my baby! It was my first time leaving my cat away from home and without me for over a week, so I was definitely nervous. He’s very high-maintenance, needy, and particular about his routine, but they went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. They listened carefully to his needs, provided excellent care, and communicated with me throughout my trip. The frequent updates and photos gave me so much peace of mind and reassured me that he was happy and doing well. They were incredibly welcoming and treated him like one of their own. I truly can’t thank them enough and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for pet care. Their home is perfectly set up for animals, including the ability to keep dogs and cats separated when needed, which made me feel even more confident leaving him in their care. I would absolutely trust them with my cat again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
About: Hi, I’m Ellie! A little about me, I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals from cats and dogs to birds and snakes! And I’ve loved going above and beyond to care for them, for as long as I can remember. I have a 10 year old pup myself (Toby) that has helped me understand the dedication and commitment required when caring for pet; especially during a time that might be a bit difficult or confusing for them. I’ve also learned that each pet has their own personality and I will adapt my care to be able to provide exactly what your pet needs. In addition to pet care, I’ll also be able to provide other house sitting needs such as watering plants, gathering mail or anything else that may be needed.
“Cody was fantastic with our cat Spike. I sent him a sitting request in a pinch when our sitter canceled the same day we were leaving town. Cody jumped in and did a fantastic job with Spike. Excellent communicator and very helpful. Highly recommend and will book again!”
“Heather did a wonderful job dropping in to help with my two cats while I was on vacation. She came over for a meet and greet beforehand to understand their needs and was even willing to put some jelly in my Oriole feeder during the week. She is reliable and trustworthy and I will definitely have her come over again!”
About: I’ve been a cat lover for many years and have had cats as part of my family throughout my life. I currently enjoy being a “grand-cat” caregiver to my son cat, Jonathan. I understand that cats need patience, respect, and care on their own terms.
About: I’ve been a veterinary technician for about 2 years. I’ve done pet sitting on the side for about 5 years. I have also worked with many different types of animals including horses and other livestock I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to schedule in some play time with your pups or chill time with you kitty’s I can crate dogs. I can change cat litter. I am always available through the app or by phone if there are any questions or concerns
About: I have over 10 years pet care experience, 7 of which I have been specifically focusing on dog training. Understanding the minds of dogs and how they think requires a degree of skill and patience, along with consistent application of training techniques. This knowledge of how dogs thinks, interact, and behave helps in every aspect of dog care in itself. It makes every individual pet special because dogs have their own unique personalities, and being able to tap into that and create a bond is different from dog to dog. This is one of the best parts of taking care of people’s pets! Any of your specific needs and accommodations will be met and/or exceeded when in my care, guaranteed! I am a journeyman lineman and I work 4 days a week. Aside from that I own a dog training business where I train dogs on weekends. My wife Teal is home every day for any assistance in care for your dogs and we are both committed to giving the most comfortable and enjoyable stay for your dogs! Trusting someone with these members of our family can be stressful and hard to do at times. I understand better than anyone that giving my pets up to someone can be a daunting task. We need to trust our pets are given the same care they get at home and are loved like one of our own. In this household we have 1 cat and 2 dogs. There is nothing more important than treating your dog equally as good as one of our own. Between my wife and myself the pets we care for will receive our undivided attention and compassion. We incorporate tons of engagement and interactive play time. We are sure to see that these pets aren’t just alone and disregarded. My wife and myself strive to have an environment where animals can have a stress free and fun loving home to reside in until their owners make it back to them. Rest assured that I have been caring for dogs for many years, and training dogs for close to 7 now. You will not find a more loving and compassionate place for your dog than right here!
“Sarge is very happy and taken care of after Autumn did the drop bys! She stayed longer than scheduled on her day off to spend some additional time with him since we were gone for a week, which I appreciate so much. She also took our garbages out for us! We will 100% book with her again for our next vacation.”
About: I've had pets my entire life. From dogs to cats to guinea pigs and chickens. They are all unique and special in their own way. I am available weekdays Monday through Thursday. I also have limited weekend availability during the winter months. I can work with your schedule based on your needs I am able to work with what you'd like for your pets. Whether they are food motivated or play motivated, I can work with you
About: I’ve taken care of animals, my entire life. It doesn’t matter if it’s fish, rabbits, dogs, or cats. I’ve only had two cats. In my lifetime. However, I’ll tell you some stories about them. When I was younger, my parents had a farm cat named Misty. I learned how to take care of Misty at a very young age because Misty was around when I was born. I learned how to feed Misty, give Misty water, clean out the litter pan, and also just play with Misty inside of the house. Misty was a house cat and stayed in the house at all times. After Misty passed away, my family got a Maine Coon cat named Cowboy. Cowboy was approximately eight months when we got Cowboy and again, I learned the skills of taking care of Cowboy, no matter if it was feeding Cowboy, getting Cowboy exercise or cleaning out the litter pan. Cowboy was again an inside cat and I helped Cowboy exercise in the house by using a laser light to get Cowboy to chase it or even just petting Cowboy and giving Cowboy attention. Because all cats like to be petted and snuggle up with you, while you sit and watch tv. I would be happy to stop at your house and help with your cat along with letting them outside if they go outside. Have taken care of cats while owners are gone.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Jackson
“Gianina watched my 7 month old puppy for 4 consecutive days. She was awesome to work with and each day my puppy came home happy, healthy, and tired. I truly appreciate her caring for him so well and I would absolutely book with her again in the future.”
“Monique was very nice, she took great care of my dog. She sent me updates and pictures to let me know how she was doing. She is very quick to respond. I feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her and knowing she will get great care!”
“My dog Cooper had never stayed with anyone but family in his 5+ years so I did a lot of research before I chose Gilian for doggie daycare and I’m so glad I did! She was great at our initial meeting with Cooper and expertly assessed his personality and needs. I had immediate trust in her dog care knowledge and felt comfortable leaving my dog in her care. He had a great time at his first day and was totally tired out that night after playing all day. I look forward to many more fun daycare days for Cooper with Gilian!”
“Ryan was very accommodating and thoughtful as we dropped our dog off for an afternoon. He listened and was engaging as we discussed our pup’s routine. We would go back to Ryan next time we are in the area.”

About: NOW BOOKING SUMMER VACATIONS! I am a mom of 4 energetic boys & one spoiled golden retriever. I enjoy keeping the gang busy outside, on nature hikes & any adventures you can think of to tired them all out. I’ve been on both sides of doggie-sitting and love the convenience of sharing in the comforts of home rather than a kennel. My family loves welcoming new pets into our home—we treat them as our own. I am happy to follow all routines your pet is used to, communicate throughout the day and share pictures! I do request that we do a short meet & greet ahead of time so to make sure that all get along—must work well with kiddos. Our golden is a big baby so she will probably just lay on her back with her tail wagging. I work part-time as a substitute teacher and my husband works from home-- we're rarely gone more than a few hours a day. If your pet likes vehicles, they’ll just tag along with the crew on the few occasions we’re doing pick ups. I have over an acre of yard to play in! My golden is trained w an electric fence, but we also have a long line to keep your pet safe when we’re not out. We have a golden, so your dog would join in daily walks and belly rubs. The dog is just another family member in our crew! We never let our visiting dogs left out unattended and either stay on leash or tethered while we’re outside. I also work with the owner to see what works best for your pet!
About: I’ve grown up with numerous dogs and breeds my whole life and got one of my own, Benny, 5 years ago. There was rarely a time in my life that I was not taking care of or playing with a dog; whether it be my family dog or other. It’s a dream of mine to work more with dogs and this is my way to make it come true as I have summers free being a high school biology teacher! During the summer months I would be able to assist letting dogs out for bathroom breaks, playtime and/or walks. I would be able to work most afternoons. I take care of all pets as if they were my own, and my own are spoiled! I love these four legged friends and would only take care of others dogs the way I would want someone to take care of Benny.
About: I have been around animals, my whole life it doesn’t matter if it’s my pets, my friends, pets or even my families pets. I have had rabbits, fish, cats, and dogs. When I was first born and at a very young age, my parents had a cat named Misty. Misty was a farm cat, and I learned at the young age of how to take care of a pet and a cat. It didn’t matter if it was giving the cat exercise, feeding the cat, giving it water or even cleaning out the litter pan. I also at a young age at around eight learned how to take care of a dog as my family got a golden retriever. We got this golden retriever named Sam from Humane Society, and Sam was an older dog about eight years old. I learned how to take care of an older dog, feeding it, giving exercise and water, and of course playing fetch, because what golden retriever doesn’t like fetch. After these animals, I got a Maine Coon cat named Cowboy. Again I learned how to take care of Cowboy by feeding Cowboy, giving Cowboy water and emptying the litter pan along with playing with Cowboy. Cowboy was a bit younger when I got him and was about eight months old. After cowboy, I was Lucky enough to get a black lab as a puppy, named Lucky. I named Lucky Lucky because what dog is not lucky to have me as their owner to take them on runs! Lucky was about four months old and again a potty trained Lucky, took Lucky to training classes and also trained Lucky on my own at home helping Lucky to learn to sit stay and play. After Lucky I got a rescue dog named Dyno, Dyno was a rescue dog from a high kill shelter in Alabama and when I did a DNA test on Dyno, Dyno came out to be a black lab pointer mix with a little bit of terrier and boxer in her as well. Dyno was approximately four months old as well when I got her. I helped Dyno learn to be potty trained took her to training classes and train her at my house as well. I helped Dyno to learn, sit and stay, and also place along with playing dead. I recently just moved out of my house, and unfortunately Dyno had to stay with my parents, because Dyno doesn’t get along with other dogs as well. I did have to be very cognizant, while I took care of Dyno, to make sure Dyno did not injure or hurt other dogs, and keep Dyno safe as well, so I’m very good at making sure and keeping track of dogs when they’re along with other dogs so that they don’t fight. I am smart and know the signs dogs have if they are nervous, worried, or scarred. I moved in with my fiancé, who has a seven year-old golden retriever named Molly, and I am currently taking care of Molly. Molly is an unbelievable golden retriever dog, loves to go for runs and play fetch. If you have a dog that loves to go for runs or walks I will gladly take them for runs and walks to get my exercise in with them. What dog does not like to go for a run? Hope I can help you walk/run and take care of your animals just like I love to take care of my own! I am a police officer and have many days off during the week. So if you need someone to let your furry friends out while at work I am perfect for that. One week I work Monday Tuesday Friday to Sunday. I’m off Wednesday and Thursday the following week off Monday Tuesday and the weekend. In my professional life, I am a police officer, so not only do I take care of animals in my personal life, but also in my professional life when they are lost, and I need to get them back to the owner, or even dropping them off at the Humane Society so they are safe. Recently on the Snowmobile Trail. I actually found a kitten and was able to get the kitten to come to me so that it did not freeze to death in the woods and get it to a business near the Snowmobile Trail so that it could be returned to the Humane Society to stay safe . Based off of my schedule in my professional life of being a police officer, I have many days off during the week. So if you’re at work and need your furry friends to be let outside, I am the perfect person. As I have many off days on Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday while others are working. I can explain my schedule better however here is a break down. Week one. I work Monday Tuesday Friday Saturday Sunday. I am off Wednesday and Thursday Week two. I only work Wednesday and Thursday off the rest of the week. Even if you are home and you’re an individual that doesn’t like to go for runs or walk or are older, I could take care of your animal and let them out take them for a walk or run while you were at home as well, just to get them exercise, I would be happy to do that because then I get my exercise as well. On the weekends, I would be available most all the time as well, unless I am busy, but I would do drop in short notice type calls as well! With me working in the school during the school year, I have off days during the school year that your kids are off as well. So spring break I am open all day, or just even random days during the week they are off as well. So please keep that in mind. In the summer I am free at 2pm to let your dog outside. My schedule just changed and I work night shift. So I am available anytime during the day as long as I’m not sleeping. The days I work stays the same regarding off days and not. Right now I am not planning on having dogs or cats stay at my house with my dog Molly, so this is not something you need to worry about however, if I’m walking or taking your dog for a run, I would make sure to bring my light up light collar for your dog so that your dog is safe whether it’s dark out. If you have one I would use yours. This will make sure your dog has your collar on with its leash and keep your dog or cat safe.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs all my life. I grew up showing dogs, both my family dogs and others. My family back home currently has three dogs, each a different size, from small to large, so I have experience with all sizes. I live in a great area for casual walks, with a dog park and a small lake nearby for the pups that are allowed to swim! I work full-time, in-office Monday through Thursday and from home on Fridays. I take daily walks around my neighborhood in the evening. On weekends, I love exploring a new coffee shop and walking trail or just a longer walk in the areas near me. I’d love to bring your pet along with me on walks and for downtime on the couch afterwards! I don’t have a fenced yard, but there is a dog park where your pup can run freely. Outside of that, we have open grass areas where we can walk. All pups are welcome on furniture at my place and are welcome to enjoy the space as their own. I do have a patio that they’re more than welcome to sit outside and enjoy with me.
