“Goose seemed to have a great time and came home so exhausted! He's still tired the day after. Thanks for accommodating us last minute and playing with our boy!”
2. Patricia D.
“Pat is amazing! I was looking for a sitter to not only watch my new fur baby while I was out of town, but also someone who does daycare. When reaching out to Pat she started the process with a meet-and-greet to ensure our fur babies were a good fit, I really appreciated that extra step. I sent my baby to Pat yesterday for daycare for the very first time, and Pat made the experience amazing! She sent me pictures and videos to quell my nerves and sadness for having to leave my baby while I went to work for a 12-hour shift. I felt like she cared for my Miss Lucille like it was her own dog. Speaking of her own dog, Pat has the sweetest fur baby, Gilly. Gilly is a gentle giant who is so patient with Lucille, as Lucille is still learning to play with fur friends. I am 100% satisfied and thrilled to have found Pat as a sitter for my baby, and I already have my next two sittings booked with her.”

11. Darcy & Dave B.
“We could not have had a better first experience with a dog sitter! Our dog is 3 years old and has never been away from us or kenneled so we were looking for a sitter that would be as close and comfortable to home as possible. Darcy and her husband are that and more and put us at ease right away! I highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again for an extended stay next month!”
12. Taylor L.
About: I’ve had at least one dog in my house since I was born and I couldn’t imagine life without pups in the home (is it even a home without animals? 😉) My husband and I have a mini dachshund and a mini Australian Sheppard who love to play with other friendly dogs. I was a teacher so I’m very organized and used to caring for others all day. I work from home so I am available all day throughout the week and weekends to let your dog outside and give them lots of attention. I have a really big yard with grass for your pups to enjoy! I also have two small dogs who love to play and would love some friendly visitors. I can easily crate your dog if needed or accommodate most requests.

19. Bailey S.
About: I have taken care of houses, plants, animals, and kids since I was in high school. My jobs throughout college and beyond are all through those I've networked with via caretaking. I work from home and am on a flexible 9-5 schedule. Aside from a few weekly calls I can walk/sit at any hour. I go on daily walks so why not add a pup! I have a big backyard and live a short walk to the beach and river. If you pup loves to play, I have a great spot. I am an animal lover and we do care for our neighbors outdoor cat sometimes. If your pup is not cat friendly, just let me know beforehand so I can make sure the cat stays away.
