About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood, growing up with Labrador Retrievers and learning firsthand the importance of patience, consistency, and affection. Over the years, I’ve helped whelp litters, fostered rescue dogs (including one who became a beloved member of our family), and cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments. My home is peaceful and dog-friendly, shared with my sweet mixed-breed dog, Prema, and features a large, securely fenced yard for safe play and exploration. Daily walks, plenty of attention, and a calm, nurturing environment ensure that every dog in my care feels comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’m currently working from home, part-time, and teaching yoga at a nearby gym a couple of days a week, so your sweet pet would rarely be home on their own. My single-story home has a large, fenced yard where your dog can roam freely to play, take a sunbath, or chase butterflies. My 32 lb dog, Prema, will keep your dog company on daily walks and at home. The home has a doggie door, so your dog is free to roam in the house and outside. The doggie door is locked at night. Ideally, you would supply you dog’s favorite bed (although we have extras) a collar and leash, and preferred food with instructions on feeding timing, amount, etc. I want your pet to feel happy, safe, and have fun while here. 🦮

Terra was great. She understood my cat needed space while I was away and adhered to all of my requests. I was not able to do a meet and greet and she stepped in without an issue by talking it over on the phone. She made me feel comfortable leaving my baby with her. I’d recommend her and hire her again.

About: Hello! I’ve been a dog Mommy for over 7 years. I’ve lived with 4 dogs at one time in a very small space and they were all impressively disciplined. I absolutely adore dogs and have become a professional cuddler. I live for that big smile they get after a nice belly rub! I’ve boarded dogs in my home many times; from Shiba Inus to Huskies. I am an energetic, assertive, patient dog lover and am ecstatic to meet your fur baby! I’m very flexible. I’m available as early and as late as needed. I’m willing to accommodate you as best as I can to find something suitable within our schedules. I have no timeframe restrictions. I always greet your dog and allow them to feel comfortable before engaging in petting. I am comfortable with crating if needed. I want your dog to feel safe around me and in my presence, so lots of love and affection may be necessary.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for years! Family and friends have trusted me with taking care of their pets and I love to be around pets! I have taken care of pets since I was little. I recently graduated physical therapy school and work part time on weekdays (20 hours/week) while studying for my national boards exam! My schedule varies, but I would be able to check on your pets about every 4-6 hours most days. Tuesday is my longest workday usually from 10am-8pm, but I would likely be able to stop in at some point during my day. I am only able to take care of pets in the clients home as I live in an apartment with no yard that does not allow pets.

Excellent job again with my reactive guy. He was calm after she left which has not always been the case with dog sitters after they leave. She takes time to mellow him out and it pays off. Very grateful for your kindness and care for my pup <3

It is never fun leaving behind a family memeber but i'll make sure they are not only taken well care of, they'll have so much attention and fun they won't have time to miss you! Im comfortable giving medication, long walks, frequent updates, early trips to the dog park or late night trips. I can prepare a BARF meal or a kibble one.

Sandra was the perfect fit for my Harley. She did an awesome job playing and feeding him. She sent photos and videos and he seemed so content and happy. Every thing went perfect and I didn’t stress being away from home at all. I will use her again for sure.

Roxy was wonderful! I was especially impressed that she was able to catch Gidget in order to give her medicine. Gidget hides from most pet sitters because she doesn’t like her meds but Roxy was able to gain her trust and get the task done! Very pleased with Roxy and how she related to my cats.
