About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have three dogs of my own, all with very different personalities and needs. I’ve put a lot of time into training and creating a successful multidog household, which has given me experience with everything from basic obedience and leash manners to reactivity, resource guarding and special-needs dogs. I’m comfortable following established routines, using the training methods and equipment your dog is accustomed to, and adjusting my approach based on each individual dog. I understand that not every dog is a social butterfly, and I’m happy to give dogs the space, patience and structure they need to feel comfortable. Most importantly, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to trust someone else with your dog. I’ll care for yours with the same attention and respect I expect for my own. As a registered nurse, I’m dependable, detail-oriented and comfortable following specific care and medication instructions. I am not only certified in human CPR but also Red Cross Dog/Cat/Pet CPR and first aide certified. I’m also used to communicating clearly, so you can expect plenty of updates while your dog is in my care I’m an RN with a rotating schedule, which gives me several days off during the week and plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. On my days off, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime and plenty of attention! I am home most of the time and my husband works from home so someone will usually be here. With the occasional instances of going out a few hours at a time. We do keep our dogs crated while we are gone and have cameras on the kennel/dog room to keep an eye on them. I know every dog has their own routine, personality and comfort level. I’m happy to follow your established routine and any specific instructions for feeding, walks, medications, crates or training. I have experience with multidog households, reactive dogs and special-needs dogs, so I’m comfortable adjusting my approach to what makes your dog feel safest and most comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for while you’re away
“Eunice was by far the best sitter we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with! She was very attentive to my dog’s needs and gave him loads of attention. She took him on a bunch of walks which I really appreciated since he’s such a high energy dog. She provided a lot of updates and photos, usually ranging around every 4 hours or so. You could tell he was having the time of his life! I could rest easy knowing my dog was in such great hands. Will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future when we’re in need of a dog sitter!”

“Evelin was wonderful with Fletcher! Fletcher had the best time with her and her partner, and loves the dog park in their apartment complex! Evelin sent me lots of pictures throughout his stay and frequent updates. I would definitely have Fletcher stay with her in the future!”

“Caroline was an amazing host to my golden retriever, Lottie. Lottie was immediately excited to hang out with her, was sad to come home, and looked delighted in all of the photos in between. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby!!”

“Da Yeon and her partner took such great care of my very energetic pup, Cricket, while I was on vacation for over a week. Da Yeon checked in to make sure I was happy with the frequency of updates she was sending, and was super flexible and helpful when I completely botched our return time. There's nothing better than knowing fur babies are in good hands when traveling, and I can't recommend Da Yeon enough - thank you for everything!”


About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Growing up, I cared for rabbits, hamsters, mice, and a pet rat. Today I share my home with my 13 year old cat, Meeko, and my housemate’s friendly 12 year old dog. I recently said goodbye to my senior cat after 16 wonderful years together. During the last few years of his life, I administered medication multiple times a day and became experienced in caring for an aging pet with extra medical needs. That experience strengthened my patience, attention to detail, and understanding that every pet deserves individualized, compassionate care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own pets. I work full-time during the week 8:30-4:30, so I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks before and after work (6-7:30 AM, and after 4:30 pm M-F), as well as most weekends and holidays. I also offer limited weekend boarding for one dog at a time so I can provide each guest with plenty of individual attention and care. My goal is to be flexible while making sure every pet receives the time and attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know pets thrive on routine, so I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to medications, favorite toys, and bedtime routines. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of affection. I understand that having a stranger in the house can be stressful for both pets and owners, so I’ll always treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. For boarding, I have a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play. I only accept one boarding dog at a time so I can provide a calm, personalized experience and ensure every pet receives plenty of attention. My home also includes my cat and my housemate’s dog, so I only accept dogs that are comfortable around cats and other dogs. This helps create a calm, safe environment for everyone.
“Many others rejected my pitty because he’s a huge chicken that barks at strangers. Emma was not only willing to give him a chance, but also willing to be patient with him during the meet and greet. My dog quickly warmed up to her, which isn’t always the case with him. He had an absolute blast during his stay! I could tell how comfortable he was in the pictures sent. When I got back he was in such a good mood and was so happy to see me. Fantastic experience, I would feel comfortable leaving my boy with Emma any time!”

“Olivia is amazing!!! Our Nutka stay with Olivia for a week. This was Nutka’s first time away from us which may have been difficult at her 4 years of age. Olivia created adjustment meetings to ensure Nutka was happy and transitioned well. It worked! Nutka loved being with Olivia! Words to describe Olivia include: loving, thoughtful, intelligent, caring, and dependable. We are definitely returning and highly recommend Olivia to anyone!”


“Shelly was outstanding! Highly communicative, attentive to our needs, anticipated potential concerns, and kept us up to date during our dog's stay. Pepper came home safe & happy, and I really couldn't ask for a better experience. If she's available, book her!”

“Angelica was fantastic! She took care of our dog with lots of love. Took her out for walks and played with her. Also fed her well and followed our dog diet restriction. Definitely we will contact Angelica again! Angelica fue fantástica! Cuidó muy bien de nuestra perra con mucho cariño. La sacó a caminar y jugó con ella. Fue muy atenta al seguir al pie de la letra el regimen alimenticio que nuestra perra debía tener. Definitivamente, volveremos a contactar a Angelica!”

“Terrific hosts and experience. We could not be happier, Made our Irish Setter feel like home. Very rapid responses and send us regular updates. Will definetly book with Anne and Patrick again.”

“Beth and her family were wonderful and cared so well for my older husky mix Zelda! Z settled in well & they were very accommodating for all of her needs. The teenage boys gave her lots of attention. Zelda was very comfortable there. Great communication, sweet people, and easy folks to talk to. Will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover and care taker as long as I can remember. I grew up in the country and was always finding stray animals that needed nursed back to health. I have a very flexible schedule right now. Can do any time of day, any day of the week. I am extremely active and love playing and walking with animals. I will follow instructions to a tee no matter how specific. There will never be judgment. I will remain extremely cautious and present in my interactions.
“Mikaela took excellent care of our pup, Luna. Her home truly became Luna’s home away from home this summer. We loved receiving pictures from their walks, and Luna and Mikaela’s pup, Theo, became the best of friends! I also appreciated Mikaela’s flexibility when our travel plans were in flux. She is a wonderful sitter and so easy to work with. Luna’s looking forward to her next stay at Mikaela’s!”


“Sarah was wonderful with Jake and Meme while we were away for a couple of days! She had great communication, kept us updated, and did a fantastic job picking up on their individual cues and personalities. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Thanks so much for taking such great care of them, Sarah! We really appreciate everything!”

“Tonisha treated my dog Sophie with care. Sophie is a very anxious pup, so I was nervous about leaving her. Tonisha took pictures and gave me updates throughout the three days stay. Sophie did just fine and I would recommend Tonisha to take care of your fur baby.”
