About: I have taken care of my dogs my whole life . Watch all kinds for family and even watched neighbors dogs. I offer potty breaks every two hours for the first 24hrs this helps them get comfortable with their surroundings and where to ask to go out. I have 3.5 acres to run.I don’t use a create unless requested by owner and owner must provide the create. Please bring whatever you feel necessary to help your baby feel comfortable noting is too much. Picture updates are no problem during the stay as well. I do meet and greets Monday to Thursday only. I also charge $30 if u drop off early or pick up early . That needs to be cash for pickup or drop off later. Bring me your Dog 😊 I have plenty of time for all dogs. I do not work so always home. I also have 15 yr old to help out. Ty If your dog isn’t fixed then $40 cash is required during drop off. This does not pay for the stay I have 3.5 acres, with plenty of room to run ,plenty of love and care. Dogs can be out as long as they want.Have two dogs to play also.

About: I have a two dogs and a cat. I've fostered for different rescues in the area and can provide references upon request. We've had every type of pup here and haven't ever had to turn one away. I have areas separated by gates for our cat friends to feel secure and rest if needed. I have two litter boxes, one on each level. My pup is Ollie, a yellow lab born around 2014. He was a rescue from Homeward Bound animal shelter and is the best boy! Paddy (Padfoot), my Labradooodle was born around 2021 and has such a sweet disposition! He was also adopted from Homeward Bound. I've also fostered dogs through SBARC and for Homeward bound. I love helping our furry friends feel comfortable and loved.

About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care from a Lifelong Animal Advocate Over 25 Years of Experience | Calm Presence | Gentle, Attentive Care Hello! I'm a retired Nurse's Aide and lifelong animal lover with over 25 years of pet care experience—and a soft spot for furry companions of all ages. Whether it’s a shy cat or a senior pet needing special attention, I offer a calm, reliable presence and a deep well of experience. I’ve cared for dogs and indoor cats. My approach? Gentle, observant, patient, and full of love. Why choose me? I’m home full-time, so your pet will get consistent, one-on-one attention. I understand animal behavior and respond with kindness, not force. I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for aging pets. I treat every animal like family—because they are. Families often say I’m the kind of sitter they don’t have to worry about—because they know their pets are truly in good hands. If you're looking for someone with old-school reliability and a heart full of love for animals, I’d be honored to care for your pet. Let’s connect—I’d love to meet you and your furry friend. I’m retired and home most of the day, which means your pet will have a calm, steady presence and attentive care. I shape my schedule around their needs—feeding times, walks, play, medications, or just quiet company. Mornings and evenings are reserved for routine care, while afternoons often include one-on-one time, enrichment, or simply being nearby so your pet feels secure. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s part of the rhythm of my day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their comfort and safety come first. I create a calm, secure environment with clear routines and close supervision. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, triggers, and needs—so I can respond with confidence and kindness. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routines. I follow instructions exactly, keep things tidy, and send updates so you’re never left wondering. In my home, pets enjoy a quiet, peaceful setting—free from chaos, smoke, or other animals (unless otherwise discussed). I keep doors secured, floors clear, and eyes open. Trust isn’t assumed. It’s earned—through consistency, care, and respect for both pets and people.

About: I’ve had multiple dogs throughout my whole life, small and big. I have two dogs at the moment with two cats and birds, fishes, who are all taken care of. I have a 3 year old daughter who lovessss animals of all type. I have a lot of time to take care of your pet throughout the day, plenty of fun and exercising!! Can also have company with my animals with my supervision at all times. I got a very secured balcony that’s always on lock and cords out of reach away from your beloved pet, I also have a super energetic Morkie named Nova, who is very playful whom shares her belongings who loves to play with toys and keep your pet entertained, she loves to be in her crate most of the time and is also vaccinated.


18. Roy J.
“There is no one I would want more to entrust my pets with. He has always been kind and loving, not just to his own pets, but to all animals. And equally important, pets favorably respond to him as well. Over the years I've had a mix of experiences, including sitters who do the bare minimum and leave. I know that with Roy that will not be the case. He will go out of his way to ensure that you and your pets have an exceptional experience.”




19. Stephen G.

“Stephen has loved animals all of his life. He volunteers at the local humane society and he's an aspiring young adult. Stephen is responsible, reliable, courteous, and has a deep passion for animals. I also know I can trust him with my pet.”

About: Within the past couple years I started my own small business in pet transportation. I received licensing from the USDA and am knowledgeable in best practices in caring for pets while their families are away. I truly believe that our pets are our family and will aim to make your pets feel loved and well-cared for while you’re away. Beyond my own pets, transporting gave me experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I do have references to attest for the high standard of care I will provide. I am no longer transporting pets due to being away from my family (pets and humans) for extended periods of time. Recently I have become a stay at home mom, but really miss all the extra animals I got to love on. My availability is pretty flexible throughout the week now and I’m excited to meet your furry family members! I am available to care for your pet in your home or through walking. I will accept puppies/young dogs for boarding and doggy daycare in my home as I have my own large dogs, who are friendly, but intimidated by other large dogs. This can include feeding, administering medicine, walking, play time, crating, etc. I will always aim to stick to you and your pet’s schedule. I have a couple of years of experience in a vet office, initially attending college for veterinary medicine.
