Kaitlyn was great with Hadley! She sent photo updates and booked very last minute which we are incredibly appreciative of. Her kids also adored Hadley so she felt right at home. Highly recommend!

This is our second time having our dog stay with Deanne. My dog has a great time with her. She has been extremely flexible with unexpected changes in our travel plans and the pup hates to leave her home. We will continue to use her services!

We are so glad we found Brigid. Our dog, Roscoe, was comfortable with her right away when we had our meet-and-greet. Brigid asked good questions and took notes. She and her house are well-suited for a little dog visitor. She has a nice, fenced-in yard. Her couch is a cozy spot for napping, snuggling and looking out the window. Brigid stayed in touch with us leading up to our trip and while we were away. It was so fun for us to hear and see pictures of how Brigid and Roscoe were spending their time. I felt that they had developed a special bond and I can't wait to book Brigid again. I think Roscoe feels the same way.

Lori was amazing and took excellent care of our dog for an overnight stay. We discovered that our dogs had met, walking at Capital Hills and had hit it off right away, so that was an added bonus. But I immediately felt very comfortable and when I dropped Clover off, I truly felt like I was leaving her with a friend. Clover came home clean, happy and exhausted. I can't recommend Lori enough and would absolutely reach out to her again when the need arises. Thank you, Lori!

Lauren was amazing with Pete (and our "parental" worries). He happily trotted off with Lauren one morning and was sitting with her, tall and well-behaved the next when we picked him up! It really seemed like he had a great time and was looking forward to going back soon! Thanks Lauren!

Gillian is amazing! This is the longest we had to board our furbaby- almost three weeks. I could see how excited Biscuit was at drop-off, which made it easy for us to travel. Biscuit loves being at Gillian’s because he is treated like family. She also prepared fresh food for him, sent updates to us regularly and made his stay a vacation! Best sitter ever!

My 8 year old, Curly Coated Retriever, had never been boarded before. Kyle made me so comfortable at our initial meet & greet that it reduced my trepidation of being away from my girl for the first time & I knew she was in good hands. Kyle’s daily pictures & comments made being away from my girl so much easier. It was very clear seeing how much Kyle loved dogs and she was such a good caregiver to my girl. I would strongly recommend Kyle’s service to anybody who wants to ensure their dog is in the hands of someone who truly cares about her furry friends.

Mellysa was absolutely amazing with our puppy, Juniper! She kept her over Thanksgiving and made sure we knew what Junie was up to the whole time. Mellysa sent adorable photos and videos several times a day, let Junie sleep with her, and just made sure she was safe and happy. Mellysa’s home is safe, her yard is fenced, her pups are friendly. We were able to relax and not worry about our Junie at all, even knowing that she usually hates being away from us. We can’t recommend Mellysa strongly enough and we’ll definitely use her in the future! 🙏

She provided consistent communication including pictures and videos of him having a great time. We will definitely be rebooking!!!!! 🫶🏽

Richmond took incredible care if my dog Lenny. As you know it's always tricky to find someone you can trust - Richmond goes above and beyond with his care. Walks pets- feeding all done with care. I also have to say the daily updates and photos were the proof my dog was enjoying his stay at Camp Richmond. Can't recommend Richmond enough.

I once again couldn't be happier that I found Mark & Sylva to watch my boys Buddy & Connor. This is the 2nd time they've watched my boys and once again I'm deeply appreciative of the attention and care they give my babies. The pictures and daily updates eased my worries about being gone. I would recommend them to watch your fur babies over and over again.

Natthinee is a fantastic Dog Sitter. This was my dog’s third stay with her. My dog requires several medications twice a day and she was very thorough and sent me pictures and updates of the medication she administered as well as several pictures throughout Lulu’s day. Lulu was curled up on her husband‘s lap numerous times so I know that they were treating her as one of their own! I knew she was in very good hands and completely trust her to take care of my baby who has a lot of needs!

Lincoln loved his stay at Anna’s! Anna was very communicative and flexible when our departure time changed a bit. Lincoln met new friends to play with and was a happy boy when we picked him up! We love the goody bag and doggy report card we received at the end of his stay! We will definitely be booking with Anna again!

About: Many years of experienced owning dogs, both large and small. We have been a dog sitter for a number of years, and have experience with other animals including cats, caged animals and birds. During the weekend and summers someone is home most days, all day and able to spend a large amount of time with pets. During the weekdays for the school year, dogs routinely get some love in the morning and upon our return from work. Work local to home, with flexibility to allow animals out during the day as needed. We only offer in home (our home) services. Dogs are walked on leashes on our property, as well as in the nearby parks and rail trail. Animals are treated as if they are our own, and enjoy being like family!
