“Erin was amazing! She took such great care of Gus and for a long time! (9 nights) Gus had so much fun and she sent us updates multiple times a day. I had peace of mind the entire time and was never worried about my boy. We will absolutely be going back to Erin!”

She even was taken to a dog park to run and play. We will definitely be booking him for our next vacation.”


About: I often dog sit for my friend who has a golden and my mom who has a lab. Nala, our dog, loves the company while keeping them. It’s always extremely important for my family to find a reliable and loving dog sitter for our dog, and I know how stressful it can be & want you to feel at ease while your pup is in my care! I work full time but have the option to work from home if needed or flex my schedule. I can make whatever I need work to fit into our routine of caring for our dog, Nala and your dog too! We have a fenced in yard and will let the dogs run the yard for as long as they want. Making sure they feel loved and comfortable as they are in their own home.

“Brendon provided great care for my pup. I can tell she had a fun time playing with a friend which matched her level of energy. I received daily pictures and updates of how Bajka was doing. I appreciated that Thank you Brendon.”

“This was our first time boarding our 5yo coonhound since she was 1yo. We had some nerves about how she would do away from us, but Angie was amazing! She cared for Grace as if she were part of her family and made sure she was comfortable with the other dogs. She kept us up to date on her status and even sent some sweet and hilarious pictures and videos. We would absolutely book time for Grace with Angie again in the future.”

About: Friday-Monday I am home all day, Tuesday-Thursday I am in an office with the ability to come home during lunch. I have always loved having dogs of my own, but right now I do not have one. You and your dogs will be happy to know that I love long walks and snuggles on the couch. I also understand if there are certain rules/behavior expectations set by you the owner, that I will follow them implicitly since consistency is needed to have a well-behaved dog. I will treat your furry friend as if he or she were my own. I am available most days and am flexible to help accommodate your schedule. The experience I have in pet care has come from being a previous pet owner, but what comes with that is a true understanding how precious your dog is and that you are trusting me with that huge responsibility. I work from home Friday-Monday, and Tuesday-Thursday I work in an office close enough that I can stop in for lunch for a quick game of fetch in the yard. I have a fenced in yard and I also have space in my home if your dog requires to be crated. I also live close to a park for extra long walks if needed.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was in high school! I used to joke that my second job was pet sitting since I do it so frequently for families in my community! I work 8-5, Monday - Friday. I can take care of the animals in the morning, lunch-time and after work into the evening. I have lots of flexibility. I have a pet-free home and have space for a crate if needed. I am in a great walking area and comfortable space for you pet!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, I have dog sat for my sisters and friends. I can feed, walk, and bath them. I care for my pets as if there my children and I would do the same for any pet! I got to college online and work a full time job Monday through Friday, when I’m not working I’m home with my pets! They enjoy relaxing with me and my Niko loves car rides! I can do drop in visits and dog walking on weekends any times! Message me and we can definitely work something out! I live in an apartment so I don’t have much of a yard so when it’s not super hot I take Niko on walks let him run around, he enjoys laying outside and chillin. He has so much fluff the heat gets to him ☺️

About: Ever since I was a little girl I knew working with animals was what I wanted to do. I started with family members pets, then moved on to friends and friends of friends now I have lots of experience. I grew up on a farm, raising farm animals, participating in 4h, and racing horses. I’ve owned almost every small pet you could have while growing up. I take my care with animals extremely serious and I take pride in the exceptional care I can proved for animals. Pets have a huge soft spot in my heart and there is nothing more I’d rather do in life. I have experience with reptiles as well as administering medications. I have lots of reviews and references and a page on Facebook called “Happy Paws” you can feel free to check out as well! I’m a full time pet sitter, therefore I have open availability. I work a lot of odd hours so early mornings or late nights doesn’t bother me! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly fur baby to keep your pets company. I don’t do crates unless requested by the owner. I’m home with your pet 24/7 so no need to worry about that. I have lots of toys and treats and I always separate during feeding time. I have a separate area your pet can be alone if they are nervous and need a calm environment!
