“Pat was wonderful with my puppy Bernie while I was on holiday out of the country. She was flexible with arranging for arrival and departure, and she’s very loving and communicative. I could tell from the pictures that she sent me that Bernie was having a very good time when I was gone. He looked happy and cared for. 😁 As a pet parent, it was nice to have somebody who was willing to have conversations with me before during and after Bernie’s lodging with her. I highly recommend Pat as an excellent dog sitter.”
“Amazing! Jenna did an amazing job taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She has great communication and sent a lot of pictures each day. Our dog loved her! We felt very comfortable the entire week and will definitely book her again.”
“Mark and Vicky have been my only pet sitter since last Sept. I do not know what I would do without them!!! They are like family to me and Sophie. She is always excited to see them when i drop her off. I never worry anymore when traveling because I know Sophie is being so well cared for. Thank you both so much!!”
“Kim is so wonderful! My dog is young and gets food aggressive with other animals, but she handled it great and was very accommodating to her needs. Her two dogs are so sweet and her home is a great environment for my dog. My dog seemed very comfortable and loved. I received plenty of pictures (which I adore). I would highly recommend Kim to care for your pup!”
“Leo came back even happier before he left and Anita made sure my Leo got his meds and fed when he was supposed to. She is very caring and loving towards my dog and her own as well. I did not have to worry about anything while I was away on vacation. Thank you Crystal”
“Such a great experience all together!! Had many updates and pictures! Great communication! Great family! Louis had such a wonderful time! Thank you so much! (:”
“Jessica deserves 10/10 stars. She was amazing with Bailey. She was able to make our wedding special by bringing Bailey to our wedding ceremony. We definitely plan on using Jessica again for our boarding services in the future.”
“We had our 2 puppies stay with Zachary and it was absolutely wonderful! They were playing and looked so happy the moment they got into his backyard. Will absolutely book with him again and highly recommend his services!”
“Amazing care!!!! They made my pups feel right at home- they went above and beyond. Sent updates 24/7 and were so accommodating to my dogs- unbelievable the attention and care they gave my pups. Highly recommend and will def be using again in the future!”
“Susan and her husband were great to work with. Our dog Max felt right at home. I will certainly have them watch our dog the next time we need a sitter! Thanks Susan!”
“Sydney is a great communicator and stays in touch often ensuring the safety, love and care of your pet. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. I was at ease knowing that she communicated so well and also was able to identify potential habits that may be developing. This was the best process for us and so glad we chose this route vs boarding him. Thank you for all your understanding and patience with our baby boy.”
“10/10 highly recommend and will def use again!! My dogs were so comfortable and content while I was away. She sends pics and updates. Overall great experience! Her backyard alone is any dogs dream 💕”
“Our baby Buddy is our family. He's our son. We rarely leave him with anyone, but I need you to know that Sarah did an amazing job. She made us feel comfortable, she communicated with us sent photos, videos of our furry love one. She put our mind at ease. Kept us updated on his activities. Job well done. Sarah is a very kind-hearted person. I would definitely utilize her services again and again.”
“Sauddi was AMAZING!!! 10/10 best sitter we have had for Lucy. I have never received as many updates and pictures as I did in the week long stay that she had Lucy. We got close to 200 pictures and a bunch of updates throughout the day. She treated Lucy just like her own and she enjoyed every single moment they had together. Thank you again for taking such good care of Lucy! Whenever we need a sitter again, we will for sure be contacting Sauddi again.”
“Only good things to say. Communicated well and promptly. Worked with my schedule as far as drop-off and pick-up. Returned our pup happier than when we dropped him off. Will definitely use again if available.”
About: I foster for our local pet rescue and do well socializing pups and adult dogs who are child friendly. Avid walker with clean, comfortable home. I work from home daily so unless I’m at a client visit, you can expect 24/7 care. Can help over nights and weekends for traveling. I have a lead in the back yard for potty breaks, access to local metro park for long walks, stair gates and a pen for crating.
“Savannah was awesome! She kept me up to date with both pictures and videos. My husband and I both commented on how nice it was to take Sylvie to Savannah's home, compared to a boarding kennel. She got a lot more love, attention and care and came home smelling great too!”
“I cannot put into words how much I appreciate Megan. We were so nervous about leaving Libby for the first time. She put our minds at ease instantly. She did a meet and greet and then sent updates every day that we were gone. I couldn’t be more happy! I felt that Libby was very well taken care of and we will definitely use Megan again. Thank you so much for everything!!!”

Jenna is great! This is our second time booking with her and our first overnight booking. She is responsive and sends plenty of update pictures. Our pup is a former puppy mill mom and can still be nervous about odd things but Jenna is considerate of her quirks and is willing to try a few different things to make her feel comfortable. Thank you!
We love using Wyatt to watch our boys. They always come home well cared for and TIRED. He always sends us updates during their stay, is super friendly, and can say he genuinely cares. Definitely recommend boarding with Wyatt. 5/5 stars. Will continue to board with him.
Our pups had a wonderful weekend and were very well cared for! Taylor has the perfect pup friendly neighborhood & fenced back yard. She was extremely kind and communicative. We felt extremely comfortable that our puppy and senior lady were in good hands and enjoying their stay! Thank you!!
Sarah was very professional and attentive to the needs of our dog while we were out of town. Our girl is very anxious and frightful, it had been a challenge to find a pet sitter that gave her the attention she needed to feel safe. Then I found Sarah! Sarah did a thorough intake, went over our daily routines and was very open to planning a meet and greet. She was patient and so gentle, we felt very comfortable leaving our pup with her. We appreciated that she sent daily updates and videos. Unfortunately our flight was delayed but she was easy going about our late night pick up. Sarah even took time to send us details about how she worked with our dog to help her stay calm and regulated while away from home. We are so glad that it went well and will request her keep our pooch the next time we go anywhere. THANK YOU SARAH!!!
The “three J’s” were great at accommodating my last minute request by quickly arranging a meet and greet. They showed interest in learning about Ziggy‘a needs and making sure he felt secure in a new setting. Superb knowledge and expertise in doggie behavior. I highly recommend and look forward to using their boarding services again!
Shannon and TJ were a godsend when I needed help last minute! My dog made himself immediately right at home with them and I could see he was having a great time snuggling up with them in the photos I got. And Sophie was such a treat to get to meet too - I appreciate her sharing her parents with Auggie! 🤍
Hailey was absolutely wonderful , took such good care of my dog Klaus, sent me pictures and updates the entire time I was away, Honestly I would of never felt comfortable Leaving Klaus if it wasn’t for Hailey ,she literally is amazing with him , She made my dog feel like Family and he had a blast playing with his new Pal pilot , I’ll be using Hailey again, I highly recommend !
Mallery was fantastic! She cared for my pup while I was gone for a weekend trip and when I got back to pick him up he didn’t want to leave her! She sent me updates daily to let me know how he was doing, which always eases my mind while away from him. Will definitely be using Mallery again!
