“Kerry was great with Simba and Mom! He was caring and conscientious about all aspects of their care. He kept me informed through photos and text messages after every visit.”


About: I’ve watched dogs for my neighbors since I was little. I have multiple cats I help with at my house and on occasion I take care of my grandpas dog. I currently work an evening job part time. However I am trying to get another part time job for the morning. I will be available in the morning, midafternoon and night. I have a specific area in the house meant for dogs along with a very big fenced backyard. I love going for runs and walks so I would go on walks often.

“Dawn was absolutely fabulous with our two German Shepards. With large breed German Shepards, I was initially concerned with a new sitter, but Dawn was patient and managed to win them both over on her own. As owners, we were totally happy with her professional level of care and the constant needs of our dogs to help them feel happy and excited for her visits. I will definitely be using her services again. Thank you Tim B.”


About: I have over 20 years experience with dogs, cats, and birds and currently own a 5 year old Yorkie. I have raised 2 dogs from a puppy and have learned patience and love for all breeds! I am a stay at home mom with lots of time to love on your pet! I make my own schedule which leaves time for frequent potty breaks, walks, and fetch. In our fully fenced yard, your pup will have room to roam and run. I am a mom of 3 responsible and loving kids and our Yorkie, Ridley. I only take up to 2 dogs from the same family at a time to avoid commonly spread dog illnesses, and to ensure your pets are our focus. Pets are welcome in the home and on the furniture because they are part of the family.

About: I have cared for many friends, family, and co-workers' pets over the years. I love animals (even bugs, lizards, and birds) and am always willing to keep them safe and from being lonely. I work full time and can do so remotely. If I need to check on a pet during the week, I can fit it in to the days I don't have to be in the office. Please message me the date and time needed, and I will check my calendar. I am unable to care for pets in my own home. But if your pooch is friendly and wants to run with mine at the dog park, or just go for a nice enrichment filled walk, I can do that with ease. I can even take your dog solo if they prefer not to be social.

“I can tell Taysha has such a big heart for animals and truly cares about the well being and comfort of my pets. I felt like I could trust her 100% while I was away, which made my own trip worry-free knowing she was watching over them. Thank you Taysha!”


“Makayla was wonderful at taking care of my 2 cats while we were gone. I was so nervous to leave them for so long ( first time I was ever away from them for more than a day), and she made me feel at ease. I appreciated the photos and updates. She was so quick to respond to every message and was just overall great to work with! We will be using her again in the future.”


About: I grew up having cats and dogs, but my love for dogs was unreal when I started college. I ended up getting my own Yorkie and she has been my life ever since. I have experience with new born puppies all the way up to senior age. I can help with training, going for walks, or just simply being that human comfort for your pups while you're away! I know leaving your pets can be stressful but I will treat them like my own family while I have them! I work from home most days, but when I'm not I'm only a short drive away so I can do potty breaks! I'm able to stick to whatever feeding schedule your pup is on whether it is once or twice a day, and I love to give my pups a morning treat, with your approval, yours can have one too! I have a large fenced yard which your dog will be able to explore and potty in. I also have a medium sized doggy door they will have access to. I have small Yorkies who love all dogs and a senior Boxer who loves to play. If needed I have a crate accessible at all times for my dogs and yours if they feel like they want space. I also have large dog beds down in my living room at all times so they will always have a space for themselves to cozy up in! I also have a LARGE basket of toys the dogs are welcome to play with whenever they want! I do groom my own dogs, so if your dog needs a brushing not to worry, I will take care of them!

“Super last minute back out from my neighbor and Laura was awesome! My girl looked so happy in all of the pics, got walked and taken to the park. Got back to me fast and was super communicative about everything. Definitely plan on having her come check in on my girl for the next work trip away”

Following your instructions precisely with food, meds, routines.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid but I have watched other’s dogs on and off for the past 20 yrs. I love all dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’ve worked in a Veterinarian Clinic as a kennel tech/bather and in a dog daycare/boarding facility that at times could have an upwards of 100 dogs. I have some knowledge of dog health care, administering medications and tending to wounds. I am very good at reading dog body language as well. I do require some things. Your dog must be up to date on all vaccinations and I do suggest doing a meet and greet before hand. I also live in a fourplex so I can’t have dogs that bark excessively unless you have a vibrating collar of some sort that can manage it. That being said, caring for dogs is not a job to me but something I love more than anything and just an absolute privilege! I’m currently working part time so I still have plenty of time to play with your pups! I also live very close to my work so I can come and let the dogs out. I live in a cozy 3 bedroom apartment fourplex. There’s a ton of green grassy yard to play on. I do have to keep dogs on a leash since it’s not fenced in. I also have a couple very long cable lead outs. Inside they’re more than welcome to come cuddle on the couch.

About: Hello, I'm Travis and my wife's name is Erin. I've been around dogs my entire life and couldn't imagine not having one. We currently have one dog, a Rhodesian Ridgeback, who is almost a year and a half. He has yet to meet another dog that he doesn't love. We would like to have more dogs, so watching yours is a good compromise. Our boys are 9 and 7 and have had a dog in their life since they were born. Our dog is around 85 pounds; we are comfortable watching all sizes of dogs. He is also not neutered, so we can't take any unspayed females. My wife and I both mostly telework (the days she's in the office I am home and vice versa), so one of us is always home to watch your dog. We are typically never gone for more than 2-3 hours at a time. We have fully fenced half acre yard so they will have plenty of room to run around and get exercise. We like taking our dog for walks in the morning and can gladly bring your dog with. Your dog will be treated like our own and will have free access to the house and allowed on the couch. Please let us know any medications or special requests/needs for your dog.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since very young age. My parents had many dogs, often 10+ at a time, Huskies, Terriers, Alaskan Malamutes, Greyhounds, and German Shepherds. Since I was a child I helped to train them, feed them and take care of the puppies as well as older dogs who required special care and medication. I've always loved being around all animals, I rode and trained horses for years. Now I'm a mom of two lovely cats Pat and Luna, who I absolutely adore. I'm available any time of the day, any day of the week, within 2 miles radius of my residence. Or evenings any day of the week, for pets who live further away. I can feed, go on walks with, play games with and clean up after your pet, whatever the needs are. I can administer medication if required.

About: I have had dogs and taken care of them all my life. I have experience with all ages and sizes, I can also give love and care to your senior older dogs, including medicine and shots as needed. Have a completely fenced in yard, plenty of treats and will take care of them like they are family, because to me they are!! Will walk them if you would like and have plenty of doggie toys to keep them happy. Fresh water is always available for them anytime they want a drink. Can also bathe and brush and clip nails if they need a little doggie spa time. I have open availability and would love to help take care of your fur babies while you vacation and you will never have to worry about their care!!

Jamie B.
“Jamie and her family watched my dog Pip when my husband and I went on vacation for over a week. I was very pleased with the love and attention she showed to Pip. Pip was walked, played with, cuddled and cared for as if he was her own dog. Jamie has a secure fenced yard big enough for an exciting game of fetch. Her home is also located close to a walking trail that makes for stimulating sniff walks. Jamie has three kids who demonstrate remarkable understanding when it comes to the care of dogs and how to interact with them. I completely trust Jamie with the care of Pip. I am confident she would be just as kind and loving to your dog too. I highly recommend Jamie for dog sitting.”


Sharon F.
“Sharon watched our cat while we we're getting married out of state. Every time she was over, she'd send picture and video updates showing her playing and petting him. Our cat LOVES human interaction, so it was vital that our cat sitter spent some time interacting with him. She even picked his eye boogies and brushed his dingle berries which was more than we asked for! His litter was always scooped and food / water dishes were always topped off. 10/10 will be asking Sharon to check on our cat next time we're out of town. Highly recommend.”

“Colton has assisted me with my dog on multiple occasions over the years. He is consistently kind, gentle, and attentive with animals. I highly recommend him for any pet care needs, as he has demonstrated a strong sense of responsibility and genuine compassion when caring for my dog. My dog absolutely adores him!”


Kayla J.
“Kayla watched our little girl, Georgia twice now and both times she came home happy and healthy. She sent me updates and photos throughout the week so I knew she was doing alright. Kayla has a love of all animals and treats them like they are all her own. It gave us comfort to know she was in good hands while we were away. She even let Georgia be the queen bee she desperately wants to be in our home of 3 dogs. Haha. I recommend kayla and will be using her dog watching services again.”
