About: I’m married and my husband and I both love animals. I currently have two cockatiels and have owned and cared for dogs my entire life, so being around animals comes naturally to me. We enjoy giving pets attention, exercise, and a calm, safe environment. I live in a spacious apartment with great walking areas nearby and access to a fenced pet area where dogs can play and get extra exercise. I enjoy going on walks and spending time with animals, and our goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owner is away. My schedule is very flexible, and I spend most of my time at home taking care of household tasks. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and regular walks throughout the day. Having a pet around would also be great company, and I enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, active, and cared for during their stay I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for pets. I can feed, care for, and give attention to multiple pets at once. I make sure each pet feels comfortable, supervised, and happy, and I follow any special routines or instructions provided by the owner to keep them safe and healthy.

About: I grew up on a farm, caring for pets of all shapes and sizes! I've had many dogs over the years, from young to old and big to small. I am experienced with giving medication, baths, nail trims and love! I am very adaptable to your pets needs. I am currently in college, so I do have classes 4 days a week (Mon- Thurs). I am only away from home 4 hours at the most, and can make stops in to my apartment between classes on longer days. I am able to host pets in my apartment! I live in an upstairs studio apartment and spend much of my time there, when not in school. I have a 360°camera installed to watch your pet if I have to spend any time away. My apartment complex has a spacious lawn that is entirely fenced in. In my clients home, I am extra careful to follow any house rules. In case of overnight caretaking, I am comfortable with any sleeping arrangements (couch etc.). My top priorities are your pup and your preferences!

Luna has separation anxiety when I leave her with new people/places. Sarah was great with Luna, providing a safe environment for her. Luna seemed happy when I picked her up.

About: Your pet’s comfort comes first! I love spending quality time with animals and making sure they feel relaxed and cared for while you’re gone. From playtime and companionship to quiet monitoring and check-ins, I provide dependable and loving care so you can have peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins so pets get consistent attention throughout the day. I’m home often and enjoy building my day around caring for animals, making sure they feel relaxed, loved, and well looked after. I care for pets with a calm, loving approach and follow their routines so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh food and water, bathroom breaks, gentle play or walks, and plenty of affection. My goal is for every pet to feel relaxed, cared for, and at home while you’re away. 🐾

What a wonderful daycare for our 11 month old, high energy black lab. Mackenzie had to deal with a lot from our Eddie, and she handled him so well. Her other dogs are such a delight, fun and happy!

Melanie and family were so friendly that my dogs—a 4- and a 12- year-old Havanese—relaxed immediately. Melanie met us in the yard and the dogs trotted away with her without looking back. The dogs were with her for 6 hours and she sent multiple photos and status updates. We would definitely ask Melanie to watch our dogs again!

Osvaldo, his wife and daughter are an amazing dog family! It was seriously like going to an amusement park for our dog. They did lots of walks/runs, playing, training and sent lots of pictures. We will be going back!! I'm am so thankful to have found them for our pup. They even took the time to work with my special needs son on training our pup. They deserve 10 stars! ?

About: I have been a volunteer pet sitter for many years helping friends and neighbors. Dogs sense my spirit and respond in kind. I am a hands-on, loving caregiver and my fur baby Wiggles is a generous host who loves to share. If your baby has special needs, we will accommodate seniors, or puppies that need more frequent potty breaks. Our home is very clean. Wiggles has regular vet care and is healthy and vibrant. I work from my home office. Your baby will not be crated (unless you request it) or left unsupervised. They will receive attention and have a buddy to keep them calm and occupied until you come to pick them up. My sweet Wiggles is a 13.5# Shipoo with a happy, loving disposition. Wiggles is very adaptable and welcomes new visitors to her home with enthusiasm. She is very bright and has helped 2 puppies learn to potty outside with the big kids. She loves meeting new fur buddies. She is an energetic and gentle playmate. We only take one dog (or dog family) at a time so your fur baby(s) will receive our complete attention. We go for walks every 2 hours and have at least one adventure per day to the park or other doggie destination. We make our own food and treats and feed every 4 hours with unlimited low-cal treats. We have and expect good manners, but we also believe doggies should be SPOILED. We look forward to meeting and falling in love with your fur baby.

Scott was incredibly friendly and easy to book with. They took such great care of our husky Bolt and sent plenty of cute pictures and updates on our boy. They easily accommodated our schedule and had the cutest little pug that our husky loved. Bolt enjoyed his time and got to play and make friends with some adorable dogs, he even got a yummy treat to take home with him at the end. If you are in need of a an excellent sitter who clearly loves dogs and enjoys taking care of them, then we can’t recommend Scott enough! We will definitely be booking again!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. Friends and family have relied on me for pet sitting whenever they are out of town. I currently work full-time Hybrid. I work from home Mondays and Fridays. During this time I can provide care specific to your pet and their needs. I can provide potty breaks every 0-2 hours at least. I have a giant fully fenced back yard and 2 friendly dogs. One dog prefers more to watch the other dogs play while the other dog loves to be in all the action!

Sarah takes great care of Sam when I need a sitter. Sam has separation anxiety so it is important that I find a sitter who works from home and Sarah fits the bill perfectly. She has a huge fenced-in backyard that Sam can roam around in and discover new smells. I highly recommend Sarah!

Our 14 year old dog developed some issues that meant he couldn’t be alone while I was at work. He goes to Melanie’s a few days a week now. He loves it. We will continue to work with Melanie when we need pet care.
