“They were so patient and willing to answer all our questions at the meet and greet. The dogs have lots of room to run and play. We appreciate the photos and videos sent so we see that our fur baby is happy.”


“Erin took such good care of our pup while we hiked! You can tell she’s very experienced - I’ve never seen my dog go off with a new pet sitter so willingly after being greeted. Will definitely be a repeat customer!”


“James and his wife went out of their way to provide Henry good care while I was away. They were happy to accommodate his supplements and treats that I brought He enjoyed outside time in their big yard with the other dogs. He made fast friends with one of the bigger dogs and they said they slept cuddled up - so good to hear! They kept in touch and were responsive as well as flexible about pickup. I feel they provide a warm haven for the dogs in their care and their experience in doing this goes a long way.”


“Barbara was an amazing pet sitter, my dog Jasper stayed at her home on our trip and I am extremely pleased with this booking. Daily updates and photos were wonderful and I felt very comfortable with his stay. She is kind and loving and her updates were a snapshot into his day and how he adjusted to a new surrounding. I would highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking for a home stay for their pet. I also want to use Barbara in the future.”


“I had Mandy board my dog for several times throughout this summer and she has been a super host for my Border Collie and I would trust her anytime to leave my dog with her. I will be using her services again on my next vacation.”


“Jeremy was very communicative and helpful, especially since this was a bit of a last minute booking. We were appreciative that he took such great care of our dog, Opie, while we dealt with a family emergency. He had so much fun with the other dogs there. We will definitely consider Jeremey first for future boarding needs!”



“We left our two dogs with Stacey and Patchen for 5 nights while we went on vacation. It was our first time boarding the dogs, and Stacey was incredible. She was extremely responsive during the scheduling and arranged for a meet and greet before hand. While we were on our trip, they sent us pictures of the pups every day, which I greatly appreciated. They kept the dogs busy with walks and playtime, and Stacey sent me updates every time a new friend joined the pack. Our pups came home happy and worn out. We’ll definitely be going back to Stacey and Patchen!”


“My dog had a great experience at Melanie’s. I picked him up happy, relaxed and energetic. (Two nights) He is a small senior dog) He comes home completely exhausted from my son’s house overnight, which is why I sought alternative care.”


“My elderly Husky Luna had such a great time she didn’t want to come home! Jesse and Jasmine took such amazing care of her! We had a last minute change in our mini vacation and they kindly adjusted their schedule to accommodate us! Just wow. So grateful! Thank You”


“Desiree is a great pet sitter for our dog. She introduced other dogs slowly and sent photos and videos of our dog with other dogs, having fun, being goofy and all was good to let me know she was doing fine while we were gone. Sophie clearly had fun and I appreciate the communication and quality of care Desiree gave us.”


“Mike was a fantastic sitter! He has the sweetest golden retriever who welcomed my dog like an old friend, and they had a great time exploring his beautiful property together. Mike also sent thoughtful updates and adorable photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. He was kind, communicative, and very flexible with my schedule. I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”


About: Approximately 18 years ago I saved 2 dogs from being euthanized that were living in cages in a landfill. Little did I know that it would set me on a path of wanting to rescue more. I started volunteering for several rescues and quickly discovered that it was my passion. I bought a home 7.5 years ago and since that time I have fostered 78 dogs, including 3 litters of large breed puppies. I would like to do some drop ins and boarding. I recently had to take a huge cut in pay, and I have decided to do this as a means to close the gap. I can care for dogs of all sizes, temperament, and ages. Special needs are not a problem. I work 2pm to 10pm, 4 days on and 2 days off. My place of employment is only a few minutes away from my house, so I can come home and check on them, during my lunchtime. I also have a close and very trustworthy friend that lives down the street that can do extra check ins, if I feel like your pet needs it. I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention that he/she requires. I will care for your pet in your home as instructed. In my home they will have their own personal space, no contact with any other dogs for safety reasons. I have a garage that is setup like a living room. I have secure kennels, if needed. There's also heat and air conditioning, as well as personal outside space via a doggie door. I have a huge yard and I live in a quiet residential neighborhood where I can take them for walks, if needed. I have a Great Pyrenees that is an escape artist, so my yard is very secure. The house/yard is surrounded by 4 webcams, as well as a webcam in the garage. Access can be provided to them while your pet is in my care. I also have a camper that I can spend overnight with your pet one on one, if they are struggling with being separated from you. House Sitting is turned off, but can be an option, and fees are adjusted based on your pet's individual needs.

“So wonderful! I dog sit myself and seldom need a sitter for my pouch, but this month I needed to make an emergency trip to Canada (stressful enough) and needed a good sitter for my 17 year old Shih Tzu with medical issues. Claire is incredible. It is so nice to be able to leave Tex in her care and know he is so well taken care of.”
