“Tammy is absolutely amazing! From the moment I met her at the meet and greet, I knew I had found a great dog sitter. She is the kindest, most reliable, caring and experienced dog sitter I've ever met. I trust her 1000% with my fur baby. She sends updates with photos and videos. She made the separation for the day worry free. She is the best!”

“Beth is an amazing dog sitter and wonderful person. She has house sat with my nearly 15-year-old American Staffordshire many times over the past 2 years. I have never left a review for anyone or anything before - but after Beth helped me out on 3 separate sitting details over the past 4 weeks, I just had to take the time to recognize how great she is. She is reliable, kind and really patient. I trust her implicitly. My dog Sydney is a rescue with a lot of anxiety. Lately she is becoming increasingly incontinent and now shreds the pee pads (always fun to come home to). Sometimes my patience is tried by Sydney, but Beth is always even keeled and incredibly good to Syd. I can tell because Sydney is always calm and happy when I get home. Thanks much Beth!”

About: ’ve been around pets my entire life — from my own cats and dogs to caring for family members’ and neighbors’ pets. I genuinely connect with animals and take their comfort, safety, and well-being seriously. I’ve always had a natural respect for their personalities, boundaries, and needs. My full-time career as a firefighter means I’m dependable, calm under pressure, and physically capable of handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I stay in strong physical shape, which helps when caring for larger or more energetic breeds — including my cousin’s Cane Corso, Kane, who’s a big, gentle, and powerful dog. I aim to be the kind of sitter pet owners feel confident trusting — responsible, attentive, and easy to communicate with. My goal is to give pets a safe, calm, and positive experience while giving owners real peace of mind. My full time job is a firefighter. I am able to float my schedule around to accommodate any client’s needs. Essentially, I can work any possible day for a client, given reasonable notice in advance. I can care for your pet exactly how you would like. I don’t mind frequent walk, playing outdoors, or just giving constant attention if needed. You let me know whatever works best for you and your pet!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 13. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed pets. I have experience with different breeds and size dogs, even with puppies. And I've gotten use to cleans messes and teaching from time to time. I'm not an expert but what I learned has help my friends and family with the dogs and puppies. Also if bathing the dog is a problem I have no issues handling it if the need arrives. I'm free anytime from Monday thru Friday but not Thursday evenings and I can do weekends if necessary but not Sunday mornings unfortunately do to religious reasons unless I'm pet sitting. I do have different size crates if needed one small, medium, and xtra large and I do have a gated section in my home for the dogs.

“We were so grateful for Tuba’s services. She made herself available to come meet our boy Freddie on short notice, which was so helpful. She was dependable, very communicative throughout our time away and went above to make sure all of Freddie’s needs were met. Also, Freddie gets scared with thunder and fireworks, so she sometimes came back to him having made a mess of his puppy pads and she never complained but did anything she could to make sure his area was cleaned up and he was comfortable again. We felt very secure with her and would not hesitate to use her services again!”

About: I have been working with dogs for a lot of my life. I've owned two German Shepherds, Two Huskies and a Beagle Dachshund mix so I have dealt with a variety of different dogs. I worked for the Shelby Humane Society for almost 2 years helping animals get adopted. I put my all into caring for animals because it's something I love to do and i love dogs and cats or pretty much any animal for that matter so much so that I treat them like my own children. Your dogs are in good hands with me and no matter what after you receive my services you will be coming back for more. Have a great day everyone and I can't wait to meet your Furry Friends. I'm currently working with a gig agency so I work on my own schedule which gives me plenty of time to spend with your Furry Friends. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for your furry friends to run around and exercise. I also have two energetic children who love animals just as much as I do and they will give your furry friend just as much love as I will give them while they are inside my home because any animal that comes into my house is treated like my own child and like a member of my family. I'm also a certified license Advanced EMT so I have medical training under my belt for both animals and humans alike and that is another way that I will make sure your fur babies are completely safe while inside my home and in my neighborhood.

About: I’ve taken care of puppies from a few weeks old to a few years each day for my family. As well, I work for Animal Planet and do a ton of work with dogs of all ages through the Puppy Bowl. Plenty of experience with small or large breeds. I work from home 4 days a week so I would be able to day sit most weekdays, while going for a walk every couple of hours. Weekends and overnight are a bit more limited but still possible at times. I live in a third floor apartment with elevator access, and have access to nearby dog parks. In my home, they will have access to my full apartment, couches/bed, toys. I can offer a quiet environment as well having experience with dogs with severe anxiety.

About: Hi, my name is Vivian and I would love to get a chance to know your pet! I absolutely love animals and dogs have a special place in my heart. I have a lot of experience in dog walking and basic pet care, as I have a dog myself. I also have experience caring for cats and have one myself as well. I can be relied on to walk, feed, and bathe your pets as needed and if your pet is on a schedule I will make sure it is followed. I would love to get to know you and your furried friend better and give your pet the care it deserves. Looking forward to meeting and getting to know both you and your pet! I am a recent college graduate student and am available to work any day of the week, especially for the summer. I would love to spend time with and to care for your furry friends! I typically walk my own dog as a part of my daily routine and I would be glad to make helping you out as another part of my daily routine. In my own home, my dog is pretty well-trained. He knows not “go” in the house, listens to basic commands, and gets along with people and other dogs well. Therefore we do not have restrictions for him in the house. However, if your dog is not allowed to go into certain areas of the house or onto certain furniture or requires to be put in their cage, I have no problem keeping them out of restricted areas and putting them in their cages before leaving if requested.

About: Hi! I have been dog sitting and walking for the past two years now. I have walked breeds like large poodles to mini golden doodles! I have dog sat for clients a week at a time giving multiple daily updates and photos throughout my stay. I love to train my dogs on walks by rewarding good behavior and listening to commands with treats. I have grown up with dogs my whole life raising my first puppy when I was 9 years old. Dogs are such a huge part of me and my family’s life, it’s always a privilege to be given the responsibility of taking care of such sweet pets. I hope to meet your pup soon! I currently work part time at the apple store and choose my hours which is a great privilege. It allows me to make time for walks or drops in at almost any time. Weekdays or weekends from early morning to late night. I treat my dog at home like any other family member with great respect and love. I always check on them multiple times a day and make sure they are eating correctly, taken out for a walk, and getting lots of play time. The same treatment always goes for my clients pups without fail.

He was great with communication - sending us many pictures and videos.

This is second vacation Leslie has house set for us. She is amazing! We have two rescue dogs that we wanted to leave in their home while we were away. She fed them, played and walked them and gave them their meds. Peace of mind knowing your fur babies are well cared for makes being away more relaxing. We had daily texts with photos which helped with our missing them too.
