“Rachel is great! She will love yours as her own. Stays updated and sends pics of your fur babies. Sets up a meet and greet which is wonderful so you know you’re in good hands. Definitely recommend and will definitely use her services again!”
“Becky was the best caregiver we found in the Milwaukee area for our pups. She is very communicative and gave our dogs the specific care they needed (one gets pretty anxious in new environments). We have hired her for single day care, an overnight, and a week-long trip out of state. She has a large backyard for the dogs to play in and lots of comfortable beds to rest for when they come inside. Most of all, we appreciate her daily pictures and updates. Highly recommend!”
“Laura did amazing with Romeo, she updated us everyday on how he was doing and was very responsive. Romeo was in very good hands. We would definitely use her again!”
“Tyler is great! Very communicative and helpful with all my dog’s special needs and quirks. He has great dog energy and my dog is always soo happy to see him ☺️ I will always recommend Tyler to any friend needing a dog-sitter.”
“Debbie took great care of our dog, she took her on so many adventures and checked in with pictures! She also handled our dog’s medications without issues. Definitely will book her next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Katrina was wonderful caring for our dog while we were away for our wedding!! She was helpful and kind, and communicative about how our dog was doing with funny stories and pictures. Pippin seemed to love his time - we would absolutely take him back to Katrina if needed!”
“If I could give 10 stars, I would!! Every photo, Kody was smiling and genuinely happy. Her attention to detail and compassion shared with your little one is nothing short of a reflection of love.”
“I cannot say enough positive for this beautiful and loving family. They treated Ruby like their own and I could tell by the photos she was totally happy and comfortable. A huge thank you to Ashley and her girls for loving Ruby the way I do. I highly recommend and will be a repeat.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary and would highly recommend her!! She boarded our dog in her home for nine nights. She was extremely responsive and flexible, and sent lots of pictures with our dog playing and going on walks to his favorite places. We could tell how much she enjoys animals. Thank you for taking such good care of Auggie! 😀”
“I finally found a perfect sitter. My dog is a very picky and shy dog. So whenever I send her to another daycare I always worried so much. But I feel like Kristi treated my dog even better than I do. She updated me with pictures and videos. I feel very comfortable to send my dog.”
“Kelli was amazing with my dog Dusty!! She sent frequent updates throughout my time away and made me feel very comfortable through the whole process. My dog definitely loved spending time with her. Would highly recommend Kelli and will definitely be using her services again!”
“Rachel and Matt took great care of our frenchie while we were gone for 2 weeks. They kept us up to date every day on how he was doing, which was greatly appreciated. He came home tired, so I know they got him plenty of exercise. We would absolutely book with them again.”
“Absolutely amazing people! They took exceptional care of my dog, and it was obvious he was happy, comfortable, and loved while he was with them. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring people to look after their pet. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve had cats, dogs, and small mammals in my home since I was a kid, so caring for animals truly comes naturally to me. I currently have two dogs — a male black Lab and a female Springer Spaniel — I personally potty trained my Springer and taught both dogs general obedience. I also have experience safely introducing new cats to other cats and to dogs, and I understand the importance of slow, structured transitions. I’m attentive to body language, routines, and each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pet needs structure, playtime, or cuddles, I treat every animal like my own — with patience, consistency, and lots of love. 🐾💛 I am available to assist with walks or potty breaks on weeknights after I get off work around 5pm. I have more open availability on the weekends, as I am off of work from my regular job. On weekends, I can also assist with overnights at my house on Friday and Saturday or hosting during the day. I provide a safe, loving home environment for your pet while you’re away! We have a fully fenced yard (4-5ishft) for supervised play and hardwood floors for easy cleanup. I have a gentle five-year-old daughter who is very comfortable around animals, and my husband. We have two dogs: a male black lab (not neutered) and a female springer spaniel (spayed). If your pet prefers their own space, my dogs can be kenneled in our finished basement, and kept separate to ensure everyone is comfortable. Pets are welcome to snuggle on the furniture or use a cozy pet bed. I provide food and water bowls — you just supply the food. My goal is to make your pet feel right at home!
“Charlie had a great stay! Jack kept him active. Took him on runs and walks by the lake. Jack is quick to respond and asks questions as needed. Charlie seemed happy and tired when he got home.”
“Scott was very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”

“Cory communicated with us frequently - Pictures sent each day, anything out of the ordinary was an immediate conversation to us, and he even took our trash out and set out our Halloween candy for us!”
“Courney was the absolute best. She helped me with more than just watching my animal. She helped bring in the mail when it got delivered and even went out of her way to get toys for my pet during Christmas time. She is an animal lover for sure. If there is anyone that I would rebook again with it would be her.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, have helped train family pets, and am certified as a Comfort Dog handler. I have watched dogs from the wee size of a Chihuahua to big fluffy Newfoundlands. I love using patience and kindness to ensure your pups safety and well-being. I agrew up with the high energy of Border Collies, both young and older. I have dogsat at someone's house up to 5 dogs at a time, with varying food needs and medications. I try my best to be flexible and up for anything you need to ensure your furry friend is taken care of the same way I would care for my own. From walks, to watching them in my home, I am here to help you remain confident in your dog's care. For boarding, I do have two dogs that live in residence and would be available for a meet and greet prior to booking. I work a hybrid schedule, so some days I am fully working from home and other days I am in the office and usually pop home in the early afternoon to let my dogs out and finish the day working from home. Dogs get fed before I start work and dinner when I finish. If I work from home I usually take a break outside at some point to play with the pups and after work we can do walks or dog park or hanging out in the yard. I have a fenced yard and two other pups in the home who are relatively chill. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and get lots of snuggles. My own dogs are crate-trained but rarely use them. They are often left on the living room couch when I leave, with a baby gate keeping them in. Can use crates if needed, I own a size small and a size large. My dogs are 25 and 12 pounds. The smaller of the two is a rescue and is extremely chill and friendly to all other dogs. The bigger dog can be sensitive with other dogs sniffing his butt but the most he does is bark at them to move away. He usually minds his own space and doesn't play with other dogs much but also doesn't bother them.
“Elba was amazing. We have 2 cats who both need medication, and one is a little spitfire. She was reliable and managed to give the cats their meds twice a day as we asked! Her pictures were wonderful too.”
“Elizabeth was very patient with our dog Cookie. She took excellent care of her while we were gone and sent text updates and photos. We will certainly ask Elizabeth to care for our dog in the future!”
“Great service with lots of good details in her report to let you know how your pets are doing! We have a very mean cat and Stephanie still gave her attention and played with her. We've booked her twice now and highly recommend!”
“Kailey was the nicest most reliable cat sitter we could wish for ! She provided us with pictures and messages daily and always made sure that our cat felt comfy and protected! She was always on time and super trustworthy. We would always book her again and highly recommend her as a cat sitter !!”
“Shawn is a very reliable and wonderful sitter. He spent quality time with our very needy, geriatric cat. We feel so much better that he stops in. We definitely would recommend him,”
“Blythe did daily drop-in visits for my old kitty while I was on vacation! I never had to worry about Grover as I knew she was being genuinely loved and cared for by Blythe! She sent me pictures and gave me an update everyday. I would recommend her to care for anyone’s pets! I will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I’ve had dogs growing up and currently have one myself, I work at dog daycare/boarding facility and have been there for over 2 years now. I absolutely love dogs and have taken care of them my whole life I work part time in the afternoons but am available most days and am always available in the mornings. I’m also available full time on the weekends I would make sure to take care of any safety precautions necessary to keep your pup or pups safe in your home while you are away!
About: I have always had a pet in my home my entire life but took on more of a caretaker role for them within the past 5 years. I have 2 dosg of my own, Bella and Theo, who can always come with me if requested if your dog would like some doggy play time! I’m currently working as an organ donation specialist overnight so my schedule varies, I work 3 12hr shifts a week so availability just depends on the week. I have a lot of unfenced green space just outside of my condo which my dog enjoys. I also live very close warnimont park/seven bridges so a great place to take your dog for walks!
“I wasn't sure what to expect from my two.. but everything was great! I love the pics and the "bathroom" updates. Joe is great with the "big one..Seamus" and the "little one" warmed up after she realized Joe had food...lol!”
About: I’ve been doing pet sitting since I was 13, whether it was just stopping by to feed and play with them to spending nights keeping watch on them and my neighbors home. I work part time as a hairdresser in Kenosha so my schedule is very flexible and free to spend time and take good care of your fur babies. I have a 5 month old cat who stays inside my apartment and has plenty of scratching posts and toys. I’m working on getting her to wear a collar just incase she runs out but she seems to know how to take it off herself.
“Hannah was looking after our new cat and he is shy and not used to being alone. She spent an hour with him each evening—him hiding, her talking to him. It took 4 days until he was brave enough to come out. I am so grateful for her patience and care. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve owned three cats throughout my life, all of varying ages and personalities. With each new addition, I took the time to slowly and safely introduce them to one another, always respecting their individual boundaries. I understand that every cat adjusts differently, and I’m patient, observant, and committed to creating a calm, low-stress environment where they feel secure. 🐾
“Aria did a wonderful job sitting our scaredy-cat. She understands that pets all have different interaction styles, and encouraged Vivien to come out of her shell while respecting her boundaries. Aria persisted in letting Vivien know she wanted to be with her, and was rewarded with cuddles. Vivien appeared content and well taken care of when we arrived home. We would definitely recommend Aria again!”

“Libby LOVES going to Elba's to play! It is such a relief knowing our sweet girl is being taken care of so well, and that it is such a positive experience for her. Libby's high energy is handled so well by Elba, and I know this because she literally is out like a light for the rest of the day after we come home.”

She really understands how to care for a puppy and takes the necessaryextra time to work with her. My puppy loves going to her place and playing with her dog! We will absolutely continue to take our puppy to Anna as long as she will have her!”
“We had a great daycare experience with Jack, he looked after our Winnie! We booked on short notice and he was very flexible, which we really appreciated. Winnie was very well looked after and came home happy and relaxed. I loved the pictures he sent throughout the day, it gave me peace of mind since it was her first time away from home. We will definitely be booking with Jack again! 🐾”

About: Since 2020, I have provided consistent care for a variety of dogs and cats, ranging from energetic puppies to adult dogs with unique personalities and care needs. Through caring for family pets, foster dogs, and client pets, I have developed experience with feeding routines, exercise, leash handling, medication administration, basic behavior reinforcement, and maintaining a safe, comfortable environment while owners are away. My sister's five-year-old Goldendoodle, Theo, has been one of the dogs I have cared for most extensively. I regularly pick him up from daycare, provide overnight and multi-day care, take him on hikes and walks, and reinforce positive behaviors. Through consistent training and positive reinforcement, I taught him to greet visitors calmly by sitting patiently before receiving attention, helping him manage his excitement and practice good manners. In addition, I assisted my older sister with the care of her foster dogs, giving me the opportunity to work with more than 15 dogs of varying breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. This experience strengthened my ability to quickly build trust with new dogs, recognize individual needs, and adapt my care approach accordingly. Most recently, I completed a week-long house-sitting assignment caring for a dog and cat. My responsibilities included administering medications, maintaining feeding and hydration schedules, providing daily exercise through multiple-mile walks, sending regular photo updates to the owners, keeping the home clean and secure, and maintaining a fresh, odor-free litter box. I take pride in providing dependable, attentive care that gives pet owners peace of mind while ensuring their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have a flexible schedule to accommodate your dog care needs all throughout the work day, weekends and some evenings as well. I am open to any care needs you have, including at my own house if needed. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, and any household rules. During walks and visits, I pay close attention to the pet’s behavior, energy level, and surroundings to ensure their safety. I also provide plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and affection based on each pet’s needs. I keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are happy, well cared for, and maintaining their regular routine while they’re away.
“Mikeila was great. She sent videos and pics of my pup playing with her baby throughout the day. I was nervous about my pups interaction with little ones because she’s very excitable. But when I saw the videos I felt so much better. My trip got extended further then the initial requested time, Mikeila was so understanding. I will definitely use her again.”
“Miranda is the best. She takes such good care of our people-shy dog. She was patient with him and let him warm up to her on his own, and now he loves going to her house...full on butt wiggles when he makes his way over to her. It gives us great piece of mind to know that he’s so well taken care of.”
“Erin was an excellent host for Katie for daycare! She greeted Katie outside with a treat. We were updated with pictures throughout the day: including Katie playing with their dogs, relaxing like the queen that she is, and exploring the neighborhood on a walk. Erin was flexible with pickup times which really helped with a changing schedule due to travel delays. Already booked another stay for Katie.”
About: I have worked fully remote for 10 years now which has given me the opportunity to devote lots of time to my own dog as well as friends and family! Experience in senior care and medications including oral and injection. Being home every day gives me lots of time for potty breaks, walks and treats. I have a dog of my own, Fern, who is a sweet and mellow 12 yo Bichon Frise. I also live blocks from the lakefront in a very dog friendly part of Bay View! I have staked leashes in both the front and back yard and am always closely supervising potty breaks and time outside. I also have a pet camera so I’m able to monitor when I’m not home for a couple hours.
About: I wanted to start off with this first impression… I will treat your animal as if they were my own, my passion is genuine! I have a bachelors in Animal Sciences from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign with a potential career goal to become a Veterinarian. I’m currently completing the Veterinary Nursing Program at Purdue University online, to become a certified Veterinary Technician. I’m working in a vet clinic. In the past, I have done dental cleaning on cats & dogs, very satisfying. I’m experienced with administering medication, injection, insulin, etc. I have a genuine love for animals. I’m a professional trusted and long term sitter for my clients. I’m reliable, flexible, and qualified. I have a lot of knowledge for companion animals that I will love to teach my clients.

I try to follow the owner’s and pet’s schedule as closely as possible and adhere to the detailed instructions. I will discuss with the owner prior my schedule and if it will be a good fit.

About: I love animals and have always had them. My friends reach out to me for pet sitting because they know I will take the best care of their fur babies! I have a teacup Yorkie and a cat so if you have a friendly pet, they are welcome to stay by me, but I am also retired so can stay by you if that's more convenient. I am very flexible! I am retired so have all day & evening to spend with your fur babies. I love to walk so would be sure to take your fur babies outside for fresh air any time of the year. I live in a safe area and have beautiful paths for dog walking any time of day. If your pet likes car rides, I love the beach & the water so could have lots of fun taking them wherever they like to go!
About: For over forty years we’ve always had dogs in our home. We have a sweet pitbull mix that we adopted last year. She came from a home with several dogs so she loves to meet and make new friends. We enjoy providing a good home to animals and we look forward to caring for your pets. Potty breaks can be provided every two hours. Your dog will have plenty of opportunities throughout the day to run, play fetch, or explore in our fenced backyard. We try to follow the same routine as you would for your pet at home. We only care for two dogs at a time as we have a dog of our own. The dogs have free run of the house if the owner doesn’t specify otherwise.
“Wendy is the absolute best! Professional, always gives so much love to my Dexter and all her other doggie pals that come over. She gives plenty updates and pictures to assure you that your fur baby is having the time of his his/her life! She’s the best and so friendly and loving. Safety is a big concern of mine. As I’m an over protective dog mom. Quality 10/10 safety 10/10 communication 10/10 and flexibility with scheduling 10/10.”
“Yshonda treated my Kingsley so well and kept me informed with pictures and videos. I was able to work without anxiety knowing she was caring for my fur baby.”

About: As a dog lover my whole life, I wasn't able to get one of my own until a year and a half ago. Having our golden retriever Tommy has completely changed my life for the better! I absolutely love dogs of all kinds and enjoy being outdoors and playing with them. I work full time remotely, so I am extremely available and flexible to your schedule. I can accommodate any needs and have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, and everywhere in between. Tommy has been professionally trained and gets along great with other dogs. We are able to keep dogs in our apartment if needed, and have lots of parks and sidewalks near by for exercise. I currently work from home full time, so I am very flexible for your pets needs. I currently keep our golden retriever active (as he very much needs it!) and would love to add another dog to the bunch if needed. I live in an apartment but have lots of access to local parks and walking trails. I am available for drop-in visits and walks as well.

About: As a lifelong dog owner, I’ve cared for pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities. From playful puppies to senior dogs, I’ve learned how to tune in to their needs and routines. I treat every dog like my own — with patience and love. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. Your furry friend will feel right at home with me. Dog sitting is more than just watching pets — it’s about creating a safe, loving space while their owners are away. I stick to each dog’s routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel calm and cared for. I have open availability during weekdays, making scheduling easy and flexible for you. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In my home, pets have space to relax, play, and feel at ease. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect the space and treat it like my own, making sure your pet is happy, well-fed, and never lonely.
About: Welcome! With a passion for animals and years of experience, I have developed a strong connection with pets of all breeds, and the feedback from my clients speaks for itself. I offer affordable pricing without compromising on the quality of care, ensuring that your pet receives the love and attention they deserve. Regarding my availability, I do have a six-year-old son who will be with me occasionally, and prior to booking, it is important to consider accepting him as part of the agreement. This does not affect the quality of care, as I ensure both my son and your pet are happy and safe. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I am always mindful of your pet’s well-being, whether we’re out for a walk or spending time together at home. If we encounter other pets, I’ll ensure that the experience is positive and safe. I also respect the privacy of pet owners and follow all instructions carefully, making sure to create an environment where both pets and owners feel comfortable. Homes with cameras are always welcome, and I take great care in maintaining an open line of communication.
“We were very nervous but just because our dogs are reactive and a little bad at meeting people. Stephanie was great! she handled them so well, they were sad when she left which for us is a great sign.”
About: Hello, my name is Jalyn Krueger! I have been pet sitting for 4 years and have worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility for about 2 years! I have 2 dogs of my own. They are pitbull terriers and are sisters from the same litter!! I am currently working 30 hours a week at a daycare for children!! I am in school to be an elementary school teacher! I am free in the late afternoon and all weekends!! Throughout the week I am off on tuesdays and fridays! I have been dog sitting for 4 years, most of the time I have stayed in my clients home. I like to have a schedule and stick to it!! While out, you will definitely receive photos of your fur baby and updates so you are stress free:) I know being away from your four legged kiddos can be nerve wracking and I will help relieve those nerves as best as I can!!
About: My experience entailed taking care of multiple dogs over the course of several years. I have sat for a golden retriever for two years, a chihuahua for four years as well as a chocolate lab at the same time. When I was in middle school, I also cared for our neighbor’s golden-doodle and shih-tzu, Roofus and Boomer. They were the first dogs I sat for and it was such an amazing and fun time. They were over for two years and taught me the first skills I needed for taking care of dogs. My duties were walking, feeding, taking care of the dogs’ well being and all other dog-related duties. Molly, the chihuahua I took care of, was such an awesome time- she was so energetic and bubbly; she always wanted to go outside and play. I have always loved meeting new dogs and taking care of them. There was much joy in the pets I took care of, I want to continue doing the same! I am currently in school getting my degree at UWM as well as taking summer classes, but my schedule is flexible and I will have time during the day to walk and take care of the dogs. My home has a fenced in yard as well as it being a spacious one, so I have experience also with letting the dog out and taking care of them simply outside the home. No matter if it is simply walking or taking care of them in a client’s home, I have the expertise of what a dog needs.

About: Currently work at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I’ve always taken care of family/ friends dogs, I’m confident in basic commands and walking with a well trained dog!

About: I am an active person who enjoys the company of dogs. I am big into outdoors activities (i.e. running, hiking, etc) and when watching a dog will give my full attention to them. I live in an area that is close to parks, woods and near to the lake) I have always owned a dog. (pomeranian, german shepard/huskie and keshound growing up and currently co-own a Siberian Huskie (she does not live at my home) I feel I have a strong knowledge of the care of dogs. I have watched my sister's dogs on many occasions. One of the two dogs has epilepsy and I now know how to manage dogs with medical conditions. I will be as accommodating as possible to meet your needs as the pet care provider. I am willing to just come check on the dog, take them for walks, and longer care needs.
“Julia has been a lifesaver for us when we haven’t been able to get home to get our peppy dog out on a walk. She’s been punctual in communicating, clear about her services, and sweet with our dog. Definitely recommend.”
About: My family got our first dog when I was eight years old. Since then, I've always had a pet in my life. When my first cat got sick, I made sure she ate her medicated food and eventually was taught to administer fluids. Since leaving home, I've adopted my first dog. He's a reactive 4 year old. From these experiences, I've learned how to care for animals with special needs. I have worked on training dogs, taking dogs for walks, and feeding animals on a schedule. I generally work early mornings so I have a lot of time in the afternoon/evening to care for your pets! I am available for in-home pet sitting on a case-by-case basis, and I am open to dog walking and drop-in visits. I believe that you deserve a pet sitter who loves your animals as much as you do. I understand that no two pets are the same, and I intend to follow your instructions so I can best support you and your fur-babies. Please reach out with any questions!
“Alex is reliable, dependable, and flexible dog walker. She’s been able to get our dog to go to the bathroom on walks (our dog always refused before) and to start loose leash walking. Lily loves Alex and waits at the front door for Alex to pick her up on walk days. I highly recommend Alex!”
About: Married stay at home mom of 3 girls and 1 boy, who loves animals. Pre-covid I was a banquet cook for a living. I have always owned dogs( Pitts and huskys), cats, fish, rats, rabbits, turtles, bearded dragons, snakes, and other animals.. but currently have none of my own.. I'd love to watch others as a way for me to fill the void until I find another forever furpal. I live in a decent sized house with a nice yard so there is plenty of room for animals to roam and stretch their legs. I give animals all the attention they want and need. Couches and beds are free game as long as it's ok with you, I wouldn't want to upset what an animal is used to. At my place there are Treats walks and belly rubs galore. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is open and my routine can be changed to fit what your pup or other animal needs. I have no animals of my own and usually only take one family at a time for boarding and 2 families for doggy daycare unless discussed ahead of time with clients so I can match your pets normal care schedule and routine.

“Becky was the best caregiver we found in the Milwaukee area for our pups. She is very communicative and gave our dogs the specific care they needed (one gets pretty anxious in new environments). We have hired her for single day care, an overnight, and a week-long trip out of state. She has a large backyard for the dogs to play in and lots of comfortable beds to rest for when they come inside. Most of all, we appreciate her daily pictures and updates. Highly recommend!”
“Laura did amazing with Romeo, she updated us everyday on how he was doing and was very responsive. Romeo was in very good hands. We would definitely use her again!”
“Tyler is great! Very communicative and helpful with all my dog’s special needs and quirks. He has great dog energy and my dog is always soo happy to see him ☺️ I will always recommend Tyler to any friend needing a dog-sitter.”
“Debbie took great care of our dog, she took her on so many adventures and checked in with pictures! She also handled our dog’s medications without issues. Definitely will book her next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Katrina was wonderful caring for our dog while we were away for our wedding!! She was helpful and kind, and communicative about how our dog was doing with funny stories and pictures. Pippin seemed to love his time - we would absolutely take him back to Katrina if needed!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Mary and would highly recommend her!! She boarded our dog in her home for nine nights. She was extremely responsive and flexible, and sent lots of pictures with our dog playing and going on walks to his favorite places. We could tell how much she enjoys animals. Thank you for taking such good care of Auggie! 😀”
“Kelli was amazing with my dog Dusty!! She sent frequent updates throughout my time away and made me feel very comfortable through the whole process. My dog definitely loved spending time with her. Would highly recommend Kelli and will definitely be using her services again!”
About: I’ve had cats, dogs, and small mammals in my home since I was a kid, so caring for animals truly comes naturally to me. I currently have two dogs — a male black Lab and a female Springer Spaniel — I personally potty trained my Springer and taught both dogs general obedience. I also have experience safely introducing new cats to other cats and to dogs, and I understand the importance of slow, structured transitions. I’m attentive to body language, routines, and each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pet needs structure, playtime, or cuddles, I treat every animal like my own — with patience, consistency, and lots of love. 🐾💛 I am available to assist with walks or potty breaks on weeknights after I get off work around 5pm. I have more open availability on the weekends, as I am off of work from my regular job. On weekends, I can also assist with overnights at my house on Friday and Saturday or hosting during the day. I provide a safe, loving home environment for your pet while you’re away! We have a fully fenced yard (4-5ishft) for supervised play and hardwood floors for easy cleanup. I have a gentle five-year-old daughter who is very comfortable around animals, and my husband. We have two dogs: a male black lab (not neutered) and a female springer spaniel (spayed). If your pet prefers their own space, my dogs can be kenneled in our finished basement, and kept separate to ensure everyone is comfortable. Pets are welcome to snuggle on the furniture or use a cozy pet bed. I provide food and water bowls — you just supply the food. My goal is to make your pet feel right at home!
“Charlie had a great stay! Jack kept him active. Took him on runs and walks by the lake. Jack is quick to respond and asks questions as needed. Charlie seemed happy and tired when he got home.”
“Scott was very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”
“I do not have enough nice things to say about Erin! She is so thoughtful and kind, and you can tell she truly loves and cares about all dogs. It’s never easy leaving your fur baby with someone, but Erin makes this task so much less daunting. I know my dog is safe with her and she takes all steps to ensure the stay is a good fit on both ends. I’m so glad we were able to connect with Erin and Brian as I feel like I’ve truly found great people to watch over my pup when I’m away without having to worry. Her pups norm and Reuben are also great! I can’t thank Erin enough to caring for my baby and truly appreciate her!”
“Dean deserves all the stars!! He made my girl feel very welcome- he is very kind, has good communication, and I would absolutely rebook. He has a wonderful fenced in yard and all of the accommodations to make your furry friend feel spoiled/right at home. I really appreciated the pictures and videos. Thank you for giving Hazel such a wonderful weekend of playing and love while I was out of town!”
“Shyla is the best! So attentive and knowledgeable about cats. She kept us informed about any behavior she felt might be out of the ordinary, and sent photos and videos periodically so that we could see how he was doing. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about Calvin- We knew he was in good hands!”
“Tracy was great with Hana and gave frequent updates and pictures. Tracy clearly has great experience taking care of dogs with all types of temperaments and I felt Hana was in great hands!”
“Joe & Lily were very good to Kobe. Flexible with arrival and departure. Loved that they were very communicative and knew when I saw Kobe playing with the other pups he was having a good time.”
“Amanda was great! She kept my Hundley while I had to take a quick trip out of town. She sent me lots of pictures and I could tell he was enjoying his time with her and her family ❤️. Will definitely use Amanda again!”
