“Leslie was fantastic! Knew how to handle my reactive dog and when she noticed one of my dogs weren’t eating - hand fed her kibble! Also brought in a package of mine which was super kind. Leslie walked and fed my dogs while I was away and sent plenty of photos the entire time - would definitely book again!”
“Excellent sitter. Played with our cat, fed him, changed his litter robot and was very observant to things around the house and with our cat (noticed a new bald spot on our cats leg). Would definitely book Madeline again!!”
“Emma from Lando Health & Wellness Pet Therapy was incredibly compassionate and attentive! She did a drop-in visit for my husky Junior. Junior instantly took a liking to her. Emma not only provided exceptional care for my dog, but also captured delightful moments through her impressive pet photography skills. I highly recommend her as a top-notch pet sitter and will definitely be rebooking!”
“Stephanie is very dependable when she visits Louis who just loves it when she is petting him. Louis is used to a routine being 15 years old and she understands his needs and wants that makes them click together as a sitter.”
“I chose Vanesa because I wanted to have Baxter groomed at home. I'm thrilled with the outcome and how sweet she was with Baxter, who gets very stressed when I leave him at a salon.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. I’ve had my own since he was 11 weeks and growing up we had the family dog. I know how to take care of puppies and the proper ways to take care of them! It comes with a lot of patience! I currently work during the week on 2nd shift so I’m open for early mornings during the week and all day on weekends. As long a they are about to be left alone for 4 hours or so. I live in an apartment that has plenty of open space and also has a dog park located there so they will have plenty of area to run around in!
About: As a full-time clinical psychologist working from home, I’m able to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs I care for. Your pup won’t be left alone or bored—I’m here throughout the day for companionship, playtime, and attentive supervision. I have hands-on experience with rescue dogs, and I’ve personally adopted and trained one myself. This experience, combined with my professional background in behavioral psychology, allows me to understand dogs’ needs on a deeper level—from anxiety and attachment to motivation and habit-building. What truly sets me apart is how much I love and respect animals. I tailor my care to match each pet parent's specific preferences, making sure both the dog and their family feel fully supported and at ease. Whether it’s sticking to a routine, sending regular updates, or reading your dog’s signals, I approach every dog as if they were my own. I work from home on weekdays, which gives me the flexibility to provide care throughout the day. I’m generally available at most times during the week, and with a little notice, I can usually accommodate weekend requests as well. I only care for one dog at a time for both daycare and home boarding, unless they’re from the same household. This allows me to give your pup my full attention and ensure a peaceful, stress-free environment tailored to their needs. Whether your dog stays at my home or I care for them in yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I follow your dog's routine closely and always keep safety top of mind—whether it's leash rules on walks, feeding instructions, or respecting boundaries around other pets. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play. I never leave dogs unattended, and I provide regular check-ins and updates so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands.
“Rosemary came by to check in on my cat while I was away, and she was absolutely amazing! She was gentle, caring, and clearly has a true love for animals. My cat warmed up to her right away, and I could tell they were in great hands. I’m so thankful for her help and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. ♥️♥️”
“Liz was an amazing sitter! At our first meet you could tell right away that she has had a lot of experience with dogs because she had a great first interaction with Lucy. She was on time everyday and sent great pictures and updates. Lucy really loved her and I️ am definitely going to have her dogsit again! Thank you so much Liz!”

About: I’m a previous dog owner myself, who has 6 years of experience caring for dogs under my belt. Getting to spend time with pups never fails to brighten my day. Building a trusting relationship with them is even more rewarding. I’m a very gentle and firm (if needed) caretaker and I pride myself on connecting with animals through the unspoken language of good energy haha! I’m currently unemployed so my schedule is very flexible when I’m not at acting class on Sundays. I’m an early-morning person and I love to hike - all I need is a buddy! I’m a very adaptable person - whatever you say, goes. I’m gentle but firm when needed, and I am a chronic rule follower lol. I love going on walks and spending time in nature, as well as curling up on the couch and watching tv, so I’m game for whatever your baby needs!
About: My dog is my life! We get to hang out all day since I’m home full time.

There’s stairs and I carry my dog up and down and I can do the same for yours! My dog has 3 beds (I know, a bit much lol) and plenty of toys to share. If you have rules for your home, perfect! They will be followed.
