“Josette has been wonderful with our two dogs! We have an anxious girl who is typically nervous around new people but she took to Josette right away and is now very excited when she comes because she knows she is going to go on an adventure with her and have a blast. Josette is also great with our senior guy, and she’s able to tire them both out even though they have different exercise needs. Josette also totally spoiled them with plenty of treats (pre-approved by us) and by switching up the activities she took them on so every day was new and exciting. She also sent plenty of update photos, which we appreciate. We’re very pleased with how quickly our dogs became comfortable with her and we fully trust her with our fur babies. I highly recommend Josette!”


“Brandi was amazing!! She took such good care of our dogs while we were out of town during the and New Year and kept them happy and safe during all of the fireworks. Would highly recommend!”


“Africa did amazing with our little boy. He has big separation anxiety. She was patient, kind, and provided several updates throughout the day. Aside from family members she is the only other person we trust with our dog. Will definitely be using her services again!”


“Beth lived in and watched our Irish wolfhounds and cats. First I am the most anal compulsive person when it comes to my hounds. I have great anxiety leaving my heard of animals but anxiety was out the window with Beth taking excellent care and attention to them. My hounds were relaxed when I came home. She sent photos of the hounds loving her. I highly recommend Beth. She knows dogs and has fantastic intuition to their needs. My hounds love love Beth!!!”


“Bethany was wonderful with Billie. Bethany was patient with our process of acquainting them and Billie took to Bethany’s mellow and kind energy in record time. Bethany updated us throughout her stay with Billie, we returned to a healthy and happy pup, and our home was treated with respect.”


“Mark was so wonderful! So nice and friendly. He helped me out when I was in a pinch. Sent me updates and pictures throughout the day of my dog. I will definitely be using Mark for any future pet sitting services!”


“Emily is super nice and got along great with my dogs. She is comfortable watching puppies and can easily follow the quirky routines that your dogs may have. I appreciated the updates and photos while I was away!”


About: With over 10 years of dedicated experience in dog walking and sitting, I'm passionate about providing top-notch care for your furry companions. Whether it's a quick stroll around the block or a longer adventure, I ensure your dogs receive the exercise, socialization, and attention they need to thrive. In my 40 years of life, I have raised 9 different dogs as my family. I currently work from home and have extra time and breaks to pet sit and also dog walk. I definitely have extra time to give your babies love. I have a fenced backyard and plenty of space in my house for your fur babies. I have one fur baby Jack Russel who loves all animals. I can crate your animal if needed.

“This is my second time using Noemy, and once again I am more than pleased with her services. I can tell the dogs have a great time with her, and the house is always left in great shape. Would absolutely recommend her and use her again. Thanks again, Noemy!”


About: I’ve always had a deep love for dogs and care for them with patience, respect, and genuine affection. I have experience with dogs of all ages — from playful puppies to calm seniors — and I adjust my care based on each dog’s individual needs and energy. What sets me apart is my calm presence and emotional sensitivity. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, understood, and completely at peace, just like they would with family. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I do some local deliveries during the day, but I always come home for lunch and stay nearby. In the evenings, I’m always home, so your dog will have plenty of company, care, and attention throughout the day and especially at night. I offer a peaceful, clean, and welcoming home where your dog will always feel comfortable and cared for. I only take one dog at a time, so they receive my full attention and a stress-free environment. Dogs are free to rest wherever they feel most at ease — on the couch, the bed, or their own cozy spot. I stay nearby during the day and am always home in the evenings to ensure they’re never left alone. Their routine, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities.

About: I’ve loved dogs since I was a small child but as I’ve gotten older I’ve become extremely interested in the training and grooming side of things. I’ve got experience with dogs ranging from 3 months to as old as 15 years old. I myself go hiking and walking with my dogs (2 year old Australian cattle dog mix) on a daily basis so I’m familiar with regularly exercising dogs. I’ve walked dogs for family members and friends so I’m familiar with walking dogs of all sizes, shapes and temperaments. I’m currently unemployed so I spend more of my time walking and hiking with my personal dogs, I’m very focused on dog training as well. I typically spend about 4-6 hours a day out with my dogs. I’ve been a pet sitter for various family members, sometimes staying with their pets for up to a week. Daily walks, mental stimulation and some training goes a long way for a pup being taken care of by someone else!

About: Working at a dog groomers (Raining Cats and Dogs) taught me a lot about patience, attention to detail, and how to read each pet’s behavior and needs. I learned how to handle dogs of all temperaments, from nervous puppies to aging seniors, and developed a deep understanding of their needs! Alongside grooming, I've also provided personalized pet sitting services through Nextdoor, building strong bonds with pets and their owners! My main goal is to provide the most professional, compassionate care for your animals! Currently, I am self-employed as a homebase nail technician. This is the reason why I do not provide any at home pet sitting or boarding services. However, on the bright side, I am able to create my own schedule! This helps me accommodate to your personalized routines or needs. I offer dog walking, drop, ins, and pet sitting services. I do not have a preference on height, size, or breed all animals are welcome! I also have experience with cats and more than happy to take care of your cat as well.

“Our Husky Duke took instantly to Jan and it was clear he felt very comfortable with her. Jan’s confidence and calm nature made us feel safe leaving our fur baby for a long weekend (we just adopted him a few months ago, so I was very worried about leaving him for the first time). She walked him multiple times a day (which he needs!) and was very good about following the care instructions we left. Jan quickly responded every time I reached out for updates, and my Aunt who lives next door was very impressed with Jan’s attentiveness. I highly recommend booking with Jan, and I will be calling her next time we travel.”


“Abby was terrific with our Saydi. She took care of her while we were away for a bit. Abby communicated whenever she had a question and also sent us pictures of Saydi to show how well she was doing. Saydi looked happy and enjoyed being with her. I will definitely have her dog sit again. It gives me a great peace of mind knowing someone like Abby. She is caring, responsible and the sweetest 🩷”


“Daya was great with my pups! She gave them so much love while I was away and even Callie made quick friends! We are glad to have found someone locally, and I will definitely ask her back in the future. :)”


About: Hi! My name is Angel, and I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve spent my life around all kinds—dogs, cats, and more—so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and needs. I love dogs of all sizes, from tiny teacups to gentle giants like Great Danes! I also have a soft spot for pups who may be a little anxious or shy; I’m calm, patient, and always happy to give them the extra care and comfort they need. Whether it’s a walk, playtime in the yard, or just some quality companionship while you’re away, I’m here to help in whatever way makes you and your pet feel most comfortable. I treat every animal like family and always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and happy. Pet sitting and dog walking fit perfectly into my schedule, as I currently work part-time and have plenty of flexibility during the day, evenings, and weekends. This allows me to give your pet the time and attention they deserve, whether it’s a midday walk, a play session, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I’m committed to being reliable and consistent, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. When caring for pets in your home or taking them on walks, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn and follow any specific routines or preferences you share—whether that’s feeding instructions, favorite toys, walking routes, or how they like to be comforted. I’m mindful of each pet’s personality, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra patience. On walks, I make sure they’re secure with their leash or harness at all times, avoid any unsafe areas, and never rush them. In your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and make sure your pet feels calm, cared for, and never alone for too long. Communication is important to me, so I’m always happy to send updates, photos, and will check in with you if there are any questions so your pet gets the best care possible.

“Anna was wonderful! This was our first time using Rover and Anna did not disappoint. She was super attentive and communicative the entire stay. We will definitely be asking Anna to watch our dog again the in the future! Thanks Anna!”

“Melanie Jones is one of the most responsible and loving dog owner i have ever met, she makes sure her dogs get the exercise they need, the proper food with no by product ingredients, even gives them toppers for their food to help with Hip and Joint, Skin and Fur, Digestive System and Heart Supplements, she makes sure they get fed the right amount and has them on a time eating schedule due to their food instructions based off their weight. I never met anyone go this above and beyond for their dogs like she does”

Melinda is a true gem! She helped me out last minute and was so courteous and respectful of my fur kids. She went above and beyond to make sure I felt they were taken care of. Would I use her again? I have used this service a lot and she is the one who will stand out as the best that i have ever had. So friendly, so willing to help, super respectful, and just a cool person to boot.
