“Amy is truly a dog whisperer! My very barky and unsure husky mix warmed up to her within a few minutes and has been great for all the visits. Our other dog, a little beagle, has been a cuddle machine with her. I would recommend Amy with 10 stars if I could. We are definitely having her back!”
“I booked Julie for a drop in visit with Jake when I was out of town for a day trip. We met for the first time a few days before. I’m happy that Julie is a responsible, thoughtful, and kind sitter and I look forward to hiring her again!”
“Tanya is the best. When she dropped un she saw a perishable delivery and offered to put it away for me. I really appreciated that. Mre importantly she is great with animals!”
About: From puppies to seniors, I spent the last 15 years helping raise two adorable labs and I’ve been caring for animals since I could basically walk. These days, I share my home with Jepsen, my 4.5 year old cat, who loves waking me up in the middle of the night by turning on my HomePods when she thinks it's time I feed her... Whether it’s a high energy pup or a chill senior cat, I understand what each stage of life needs - patience, play, and plenty of care. I work from home, so I can give your pet the time, attention, and belly rubs they deserve. I’ve got a soft spot for animals of all kinds—honestly, how can you not love them, even when they’re being a little chaotic? I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine with relative ease. Whether it’s a mid-morning walk, an afternoon drop-in, or overnight stays, I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. When I’m caring for pets in your home, their comfort and safety come first. I always follow your instructions closely. Whether it’s feeding routines, medication, crate time, or quirky habits that make your pet feel secure. For walks and drop-ins, I stay alert and focused, making sure your pet is safe and happy. For overnight stays, I treat your space with respect and keep things calm and consistent so your pet feels at ease while you’re away. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel cared for, and for you to feel 100% confident they’re in good hands.
“Daniel was great with my dog Pepper. He did a meet and greet with her prior to my trip to ensure they started out as fast friends. Pepper enjoyed her time with Daniel as easily scene in the many photos he provided. I had no concerns with him dropping in on Pepper my home and I appreciated his short-notice availability and flexibility. I hope to use Daniel again very soon.”
“Andy has watched our cats a few times - they're always happy when we get home, and we can tell they are happy to see Andy when she comes to take care of them. We have some very specific health and food needs and she does a great job managing this while we are away, which means a ton to us. Thank you Andy!”
“Jessica was fabulous! I can't say enough about how prompt, communicative, and accommodating she was with our cat. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was just right, and her updates gave us such peace of mind while we were away. I’m incredibly thankful for her care and will absolutely be using her again without hesitation!”
“Andrew was extremely communicative, very attentive to our cat Niles’ needs, he took a lot of pictures of our kitty to reassure us, and went above and beyond taking care of our cat. Book him!”
“Shykala did a wonderful job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. She really took the time to bond with him and she provided detailed updates, including lots of photos. I'll definitely book with Shykala again in the future!”
“Cats both loved James! Playing with them and making sure their litter and water was fresh. He took good care of our home, doing the curtains to help maintain temperature for kitties”
About: I have both adopted and fostered young and senior dogs. The youngest dog I have fostered was 1 year old (Golden Retriever - 45 lbs) named Benny. The oldest dog I have cared for was my resident dog, Bubba (Black Lab/Husky Mix - 80 lbs) who I had for 4 years who recently passed away at 11. Dogs are my pride and joy! I work full time on the weekdays and am free on the weekends. I am available during the week sometimes after work. Willing to stay the weekend if needed. I treat dogs like I would my own. On walks I make sure I have everything we need before going out. I respect each pet and go with what they want to do. IE adhering to their boundaries. I am also great at following directions that the owner provides. I want all parties, pets, parents, and myself to feel comfortable.
“Juliana was great! She was reliable, communicated promptly, and cared very well for our cat while we were out of town! We are so thankful for Juliana’s help.”
About: I had two dogs growing up and I miss being around them! I go on walks almost every day. Would love to do that with your dog :) I am mostly available Tuesday- Saturday before 10 am and after 5pm. Sundays and Mondays are more flexible. Please reach out with any questions, I’m happy to help. I have two cats but I am really an animal person. My current living situation doesn’t allow me to have dogs but I would love to be able to spend time with yours.
About: I’ve been helping with care and dog sitting for friends and neighbors for about ten years, especially for my sister’s cavaliers (pictured) when she goes on trips. I have a lot of experience walking more anxious/shy dogs, and have also wrangled some bigger aggressive pooches - so I know how to navigate a walk to avoid socialization when needed, and keep a tight grip on the leash. I just quit my corporate job, so my schedule is open! Particularly looking to schedule some day-time walks, but flexible on timing, and can potentially do overnights as well I like to defer to the dog’s temperament and let them initiate interactions, or offer treats to grease the wheels. Ideally I want to build a rapport with them to get in some playtime and cuddles to keep them emotionally engaged while their human is away
“Andrea just finished pet-sitting for me, and she did an amazing job! She followed all my instructions carefully, and I loved getting regular updates and pictures. It was clear my pet was comfortable and well-cared for, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her next time. Highly recommend!”
About: Hey! I am a pet care pro! I have experience with my own pets including a cat, dogs, frogs, toads, and guinea pigs! I also have experience at a pet hospital, in dog daycare, pet sitting, pet boarding, and kennel work! I am most experienced with dogs but also work with cats daily at work and other critters like rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, turtles, and bearded dragons. I have experience caring for senior dogs, deaf dogs, blind dogs, and dogs that have trouble with mobility. I have experience working with many puppies but I have no training experience. I also have experience administering syringe medicine and pilling dogs and cats. I have administered syringe medicine to critters in the past. I have worked with cats of all ages and temperaments. I have worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, play styles, and temperaments. I am very experienced in dog body language thanks to my job as a dog daycare attendant. All in all, I love animals and really enjoy caring for them! I am currently working part-time and my schedule is very open! I am on break from Veterinary Technician school and am looking for more opportunities to work with animals! I strive to create a low stress environment for all my animal friends! I try to adhere to a schedule and stay as consistent as possible. I can do feeding, medications, walks, playtime, yard/outside time, enrichment activities, and kennel animals if needed! I make sure to follow all care instructions and respect owners' boundaries. When not walking or playing I also enjoy just hanging out and having some time quality time with my pals as I watch TV or read. I also offer lots of pets, snuggles, and love!
“Kelly was absolutely wonderful with my two dogs! She was so kind. I really appreciated the updates and photos she sent—they helped me feel at ease while I was away. She was also super quick to respond to any messages, which made communication easy and stress-free. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”

Eddie W.
“Eddie has been amazing with our 5-year-old Aussie Doodle, who is truly the most important part of our lives (no judgment!). Our pup can be anxious around new people (especially when they come into our house without us), so we're extremely careful. From the start, Eddie had a calm and gentle presence that immediately put him at ease...something that’s pretty rare. What we love most about Eddie is how attentive and in tune he is. He knows when our dog wants to play, when he needs a slower walk, or just some quiet company. He’s patient, caring, and totally trustworthy. Our dog absolutely lights up when Eddie shows up, which is the best reassurance we could ask for. We don’t trust many people with our dog, but we trust Eddie completely. He’s been a wonderful part of our dog’s life, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter or walker.”

Adrienne G.
“I have known Adrienne for a couple of years now. She had an amazing dog named Bubba. The bond she shared with Bubba was something truly special—filled with joy, care, and an unspoken understanding. Her kindness doesn't stop there; she even opened her home and heart to foster another dog, showing just how big her love for animals is. Your pet will be loved, safe and happy with Adrienne.”

Bade T.
“Bade was great! She was communicative, responsible, the boys loved her, and I felt very confident my dogs were in good hands while I was out of town. Would definitely recommend to others!!”
Hannah P.
“Hannah is best-case-scenario pet sitter. My picky chihuahua both adores AND trusts her, which is not a common achievement. Hannah will take your pup on a flower hunt or cozy in for a movie night. Either way, cuddles and cuteness are inevitable. She’s responsible and rational and very attuned to unspoken needs (especially those of the non-speaking). She’s considerate of the space of others, meaning she’ll be a strong steward both of your home (if pet sitting there) and of your pet’s boundaries. She’s my first call when I know my dog will need some extra support in my absence. 10/10 would recommend!”
Andrea L.Star Sitter

It was clear my pet was comfortable and well-cared for, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her next time. Highly recommend!”
Robin L.
“From the moment I met her during her very first daycare shift, even before I became the supervisor of our daycare department at Now Boarding, Robin displayed clear passion and devotion to providing a safe and positive pack-play environment for all to enjoy! Over the past two years, as I've observed her further develop her dog-handling skills, it's evident that she's a natural. She's fearless and confident when intervening between dogs to redirect them away from one another if there is potential for a fight. In case a fight does break out between two or multiple dogs, she never hesitates to jump in and separate them, working as a team player to aid any daycare staff also attempting to stop the fight. Robin not only possesses a strong ability to interpret dog communication cues and signals, but is also fully trained in caring for various animal species, including cats and other critters such as reptiles, rabbits, and guinea pigs. She is approved to work not only in our daycare department, but also in our boarding department. This is noteworthy as the majority of our staff members lack the experience or haven't proven their abilities, like Robin has, to be able to work in multiple departments. I have countless positive things to say about Robin, but when it comes to caring for your pet, she is exceptionally trustworthy and honest. I assure you that she will protect and treat your pet as if it were her very own. :)”

She was also super quick to respond to any messages, which made communication easy and stress-free. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
