About: My family loves animals, especially dogs. We are dedicated to making your dog feel at home while you’re busy. We will always treat your dog with love, compassion and respect. I love puppies but they must be house trained. My wife and I both work from home. I am self employed so I make my own hours and that allows me to provide exceptional care to your dog. We have a 2 year old French bull dog who is very friendly and gets along well with other dogs.Because I am an animal lover and giving back is so important to me I WILL DONATE 5% of my earnings to The MSPCA! I have a fenced in yard and we live on a quiet dead end street. The park is 2 minutes from our home and we go there often to allow our dog to play.I never have more than 3 dogs in my house at once which allows me to give your dog my undivided attention and love. Your dog will always be safe, happy and very well cared for.

“Holly is so amazing and caring! You can tell she truly has a love for animals and their well-being. She is great with communications and responds quickly. She looked out for my dog like if he was her own and that really meant a lot to me. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone!”
14. olivia d.
“Olivia has been an absolute lifesaver for us and our Bernedoodle, Callie! From day one, she has been reliable, professional, and incredibly caring. Callie absolutely adores her, and we love knowing that she’s in such great hands. Olivia goes above and beyond, making sure Callie gets plenty of exercise, attention, and even a little extra love along the way. We’ve noticed a big difference in Callie’s energy and happiness since Olivia started walking her. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your pet and treats them like their own, Olivia is the one to call. Highly recommend her services!”

16. Kamilla D.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. From family and friends pets, dropping in for feedings, walking and proving love and affection. Taking time to make sure dogs are getting the exercise they deserve! My hours are really flexible as I am available during school day hours! 8:45-2:00 PM! Leaving your worries for when you’re at work and kids are at school that your dog doesn’t get forgotten! I can easily crate your dog, leave food and water at my dismissal, stay with your pet after they have eaten or drank water to provide that extra time to g outside once they’re fed! Taking your dog for a lengthy walk along with tossing the ball for some catch to get extra movement!
17. Rebecca S.
“Rebecca is great with Lyla and has been super flexible with my crazy schedule (I’m a nurse and work both days and overnights) which has been amazingly helpful, and makes me feel comforted knowing she has great care during my long days/nights at the hospital.”
18. Kayla B.
“Kayla is a caring and responsible young lady. She has been pet sitting for more than two years for her co-workers and veterinary hospital clients. She is an amazing veterinary assistant with a solid knowledge base on care of many species of animals. She has the ability to give medications and care for post operative patients. She is reliable and responsible, I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter”
