About: 🐾 I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, and it’s been a lifelong passion. Over the years, I’ve looked after pups of all sizes—from a tiny 8 lb dachshund to strong, lovable 100 lb pitbull mix. My experience includes everything from energetic puppies to slow-moving seniors, each with their own needs and personalities. I currently live with two spayed female dogs who are well-socialized and have peacefully cohabitated with several foster dogs since last year. I regularly volunteer with Border Tails Rescue, providing a safe, nurturing home for dogs in transition. Through fostering, I’ve gained deep experience with behavior observation, gentle training, and helping anxious or shy dogs feel secure. I’ve managed feeding routines, administered medications, and supported dogs through recovery and adjustment periods. I’m especially mindful of canine body language and group dynamics, and I only accept dogs who are friendly with others to maintain a safe, peaceful environment. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I treat every pup with patience, respect, and the kind of attention I’d want for my own. 🐶 When dog sitting, I am home all day so your pup will have lots of attention. On the rare occasion I do leave the house, it's never for more than 4 hours at a time. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I share my home with two friendly, playful dogs—Miley, a 50 lb mixed breed, and a 75 lb American Bully—who are well-socialized and enjoy respectful canine company. My securely fenced yard provides space for supervised outdoor play, and my middle school children, who are also well-versed in watching and caring for dogs, help ensure everyone feels safe and supported. I only accept dogs who are known to be dog-friendly to maintain a positive, secure environment for all.
About: I have a really deep love for dogs, especially senior pups. I’m naturally gentle, patient, and attentive, which I think older dogs really respond to. I take the time to understand each dog’s unique needs and personality—whether they’re shy, slow-moving, or just need a little extra comfort. I truly care for every dog like they’re my own, and I find real joy in creating a calm, safe space where they can feel at ease. Caring for pets fits really naturally into my routine because I truly enjoy it—it doesn’t feel like a chore to me. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, check-ins, feeding, and cuddles throughout the day. I’m used to structuring my day around a pet’s needs, whether that’s slow morning strolls for older pups, medication routines, or just being a calm presence nearby. I’m happy to adjust to whatever makes your pet feel safe and cared for. I always treat a client’s home with the same respect I’d want someone to have in mine—clean, quiet, and mindful. When I’m in their space, I try to keep things as calm and familiar as possible for the pet. I stick closely to their usual routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, medications, or just how they like to relax. I move slowly, especially with older or anxious dogs, and I pay close attention to their comfort. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and never alone.
“Gabrielle has consistently been so wonderful with our dog and cat! We're so thankful for how well she cares for them and communicates with us. We absolutely recommend her!!”
“Mike was great! He was caring and understanding with our dogs and their individual needs. He sent us regular updates and photos which was awesome! We’ll definitely be using his services again. Thanks Mike!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was nearly 14 years old. I have a cat currently, and have had dogs off and on for most of my life. I am often available on Mondays until 3 pm, Wednesdays until noon, Fridays all day, Saturdays all day, and Sundays all day. I have a lot of time available despite a full time job. I do not offer sitting or boarding, my apologies. However, I do offer walks and drop-ins. Thank you for considering me as someone to care for your kitty or pup!
“Yuliia did an awesome job checking in on my two cats. Very thorough with plenty of pictures and the cats loved the extra attention and play time. Definitely recommend Yuliia!”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m currently a stay-at-home pup parent, training our new puppy to become a therapy dog—so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I bring that same love and dedication to every pet I care for. I also have experience with cat sitting, so I’m comfortable with multi-pet households. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, some calm company, or extra attention, I’m here to treat them like family. As a stay-at-home puppy mom, pet care is truly part of my everyday life. I spend several hours each day working on training, socializing, and caring for our puppy, who we're raising to become a therapy dog. This means my schedule naturally revolves around animals—and I love it that way! I'm available Monday through Thursday for walks and drop-ins, and I bring the same patience, structure, and love to your pets as I do with my own. When it comes to pet care, safety and trust are my top priorities. At home, I create a calm, secure environment with consistent routines, positive reinforcement, and lots of love. I’m always attentive to my puppy’s needs and use gentle, reward-based training to build confidence and good behavior. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or on a walk, I treat them with the same level of attention, respect, and care I give my own. You can trust that your pet is in kind, capable hands.
“Thea was so meticulous and empathetic to my cat’s needs during my time away. She also provided adorable photos, videos and notes. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great catsitter or dogsitter!”
About: I have owned dogs sense I was I’d say 6, once I turned 10 I started offering family and friends to watch their animals, which included feeding, playing with, walking, bathing, grooming. I am currently not working, I am currently enrolled in online classes to become a horse trainer, so I am open pretty much always sense all my classes are set paced I don’t offer in home services but I do have a dog of my own you can request that I bring him over to play, he is house trained, but is afraid of big dogs so small dog owners only! I worked for a dog day care company so I have a wide variety of experience with dogs all ages and sizes, as well as basic training in dog first aid.

She has previously cared for my German Shepherd dog and my experience was that she is trustworthy, compassionate, and incredibly reliable. She is very communicative about everything.

She has even kept one of her foster dogs. If you are looking for someone dependable Joanna is your person!”
