Carol was super responsible with dog and home. Our senior dog with mobility issues bonded with her immediately and though she was happy to see us when we got home she did sit by the door looking longingly like she wanted Carol to come back. Highly recommend.

Maya was amazing watching my Bichon Frise Roshi. He was diagnosed with a UTI shortly before I left for my vacation and she was able to provide him the best care in my absence. She was able to give him his antibiotics without issues and provided updates and photos throughout my absence. She was kind, respectful, and I really appreciated her. Thank you again for everything.

Angelisse dos so well with my two dogs. Rex is a little anxious and she always ensures he is comfortable and happy while I’m away. She keeps me updated on how they are doing daily while I’m away which I appreciate.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all kinds after I graduated from college and finally have my own place and free time. Been a professional dog sitter for 8 years. Their needs is always my priority. When I dog sitting, I don’t normally go in and out, I always make sure I stay with them because they feel lonely and nervous about their owner is not around. I walk them every hour, take them to park and dog park. I am now between jobs and taking care of my dog whole day at home. He is a super friendly 11 month old Aussie. Fixed male, he loves all dogs and get along with everyone I have been sitting before. He loves when there’s other dogs around. He has no problem with sharing treats and mom’s attention. We have a 1.5 acre big backyard to let them do business, running and play fetch and I always make sure I am at the yard with them. Our neighborshood is away from traffic, quiet and safe for walking dogs. I take dogs to dog park everyday around 5:00 pm for 1-2 hours to burn the extra energy and boost appetite for dinner. I love just looking at them for hours, pay close attention to dogs. How many time they scratch the ears and how many times they pee and poop. I am also good at cooking fresh nutritious dog meal. My dog loves chicken breast, chicken liver/beef liver, carrots, pumpkin and sweet potato meal. I hope my dog Keanu and I can make the stay feels like a vacation and fun for your dog. I have a 3 floor house with big yard, 2 people 1 dog live in the house. The whole first floor is for dogs, with big living room, couch, beds and a crate. Many windows allow them to look front yard and back yard. They can wander around to any floor and room they like, so even if they want some alone time, there are plenty of space for them. I can’t host cats due to my husband allergies, but I always love to go to your place to clean and feed the cats. I am between jobs so I am home 24/7. I go to the yard with dogs every hour to do business or play. Their schedule is always my priority. I always make sure to go to the yard with the dogs. I also have a super friendly 11 month old dog to keep them company

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was young. We had a dog growing up, and I've taken care of other people's dogs too. Many dogs seem to instinctively get a good reading of me and warm up to me quickly. Right now, I'm making a career switch and have a lot of open time. My work search activities schedule varies, so I can easily juggle taking care of your pets. Some people say that I'm a "dog magnet." It's not unusual for dogs, even unfamiliar ones, to instinctively be drawn to me. I also make sure to read any messages or printouts about care and routines so I can get a good idea of the How, What, and Where.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, bunnies, and birds. Growing up with different types of animals taught me how to adapt to each pet’s unique personality, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic dogs who need structured walks and play, to smaller animals that require gentle handling and consistency. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and mood to make sure every pet is happy, healthy, and comfortable. I currently have open availability, which allows me to be flexible and fully accommodate your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening care, I can adjust my schedule to fit their needs. Because I’m not rushing between commitments, I’m able to give each pet focused, unhurried attention during every visit. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most safe and comfortable. My approach is always needs-based, meaning I follow your pet’s routine closely and adjust to their personality. whether they need lots of interaction or a calm, low-key presence.

Matt and Marybeth stayed at our home for 3 days to watch our Newfie. They were absolutely terrific from the first communication through the entire stay— always very prompt, thorough and quickly asked questions as needed. They kept us informed throughout the stay with updates & pics. You can tell from the pics that our Newfie was enjoying her time with them. If we could give them more than 5 stars we would. We plan to use them again.

About: I’ve had several dogs and cats to take care of since I was 5 years old. I have always loved animals and wanted to work with them in some way, so this is my way to do just that. I currently have a cat and I’m always spending time with my family’s cat and dog. I would love to care for other pets as often as I can. I always make sure that the pet is stimulated and getting enough love and affection. Pets need more than just food and water! I make sure to meet as many needs as possible.

It felt so good going away and leaving our dog and cat and house in janette’s care. We booked her super last minute for Thanksgiving week and she came and did a meet and greet next day and was very sweet with our pets and sent pictures and updates. Highly recommend and will definitely connect with her again for care.

About: There’s never been a moment in my life where I wasn’t around a dog. I love dogs and treat them the way they deserve, like family. As a bartender I have a pretty flexible schedule. Mostly open during the day when people are at work I am home or running errands. I can give the care and attention your fur baby needs in your home or mine. 💗 I do have my own baby, but that doesn’t take away from how much love I can give yours. I can assure you my cat is shy but friendly and we will introduce them before any long or short term stay if you choose the option of pet care in my home.

About: Being raised with dogs, cats, and other various kinds of animals since I was 6 years old, I’m not a stranger to small (or even big!) feet following me around the house. From love and snuggles after a long day, to laughing at zoomie episodes, my family has built our lives around our animals. And I would love to add your pet into my happy story. Rest assured, you can leave your fur-baby with me for peace of mind, and can expect them to be loved, cared for, snuggled, and protected as you would do. I have experience with energetic, senior, and pups with allergies and/or meds. I primarily work part time away from home mid-week in the evenings, but work from home the rest of the time, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to being home for your baby. I am an avid communicator and will be making sure I follow all necessary instructions left by you (feeding needs, medical needs, etc.). If I’m not sure on something, I’ll always communicate to make sure to provide the best service to your and your baby.

Sophia and Lily did an amazing job watching our two dogs and our cat. They sent us daily updates on how everyone was doing which gave us peace of mind knowing our fur-family was in good hands. They are very responsible and left our house clean when they left. I would highly recommend them for pet sitting especially if you are looking for someone who can stay in your home.

Margaret (Maggie) provided excellent care of my dog while I was away for an extended time. I am very grateful for the care she provided to him as I know he had lots of walks, lots of fun and companionship. Maggie always communicated well and we talked through my dog’s routine beforehand. While I was away, I received lots of pictures and pupdates. I would highly recommend Maggies’s assistance with any pet. Thank you very much !

This was my first time hiring a dog sitter outside of my own family, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Isabel. I was impressed from the very start, not only did my dog warm up to her right away, but Isabel immediately made me feel comfortable and confident leaving my dog in her care. She asked all the right questions, offered thoughtful recommendations, and really took the time to understand my dog’s needs and personality. During the stay, Isabel was fantastic with communication, sending regular updates and tons of happy, adorable pictures that gave me such peace of mind. Even when my dog unexpectedly needed an emergency vet visit (through no fault of hers), Isabel was completely on top of it. She could tell something wasn’t right and didn’t hesitate to act. She kept me informed throughout the entire situation and made sure my dog was okay and settled before leaving. On top of that, Isabel was able to watch my sister’s dog alongside mine, and she made the effort to meet both dogs beforehand, asking additional questions to make sure she could care for each of them properly. Every photo I received showed two happy, relaxed pups; it was clear they were in great hands. Overall, Isabel went above and beyond. I will absolutely be booking with her again!
