“Harper had a great time with Abigail! We loved the photos Abigail sent, as well as lots of updates so we knew she was getting settle Abigail also provided her with a much-needed nail trim. I'll definitely book Abigail for boarding (and grooming!) next time we travel!”
“Caitlin and her family watched our two miniature poodles for 8 days. She consistently sent us pictures of them so we could see how they were doing. When we picked up the dogs, they were not excited to leave. Her children were adorable and really bonded with our dogs. I will definitely be using her again.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs most of my life. I treat dogs like children. I give them lots of cuddles and keep them safe. My fulltime job is Monday-Friday. I give them extra lovins when I come home from work. We go for morning walks when I can’t do an evening walk. Play catch! If I need to crate your dog I can as well. House sitting I make sure all fence doors are closed and the dog has their space.
About: I have been taken care of cats & dogs for most of my life. I am always very attentive to all pets and their needs. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed and entertain their pets since I was 10. I too am a pet owner of a beautiful husky and 2 amazing cats. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy starting and ending my day with walks, playtime, and cuddles. My schedule is flexible, and I work from home, so I can adjust to your pet’s needs, whether that’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening care. In my home, pets are treated like family—I make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and kept on their usual routine with plenty of love and attention. I follow any instructions closely to maintain consistency, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or favorite playtime activities. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure and cared for, just like they would with you!
About: I quickly became a dog mom when my partner moved into my house with his 5 year old dog Sampson. I fell in love with our daily walks in the field behind our house, as well as having something to take care of in the house. Sampson listens, he is a dog I can walk off leash and the best cuddle buddy. Because of his good nature I soon found myself growing our family by the addition of two puppies. Hank was our first pup - he is a Great pyreenes mixed with a Bernese Mountain Dog. Think fluffy, slobbery, and 140 pounds. I wasn't sure how a big dog and myself would get along but I found his size comforting. Stella was a dog we failed at fostering. She is a smaller terrier mix and is teaching me the true purpose of crates and leashes. I learn every day how to be better for my dogs. It is chaotic, messy and unpredictable living with three dogs but I wouldn't change it for anything. I am by no means a perfect dog owner but I understand the complexities and uniqueness of each dog and their personalities. I rely on being consistent and predictable for my dogs so they continue to trust me to take care of them. Their health and happiness is my priority. I am a school teacher. When school is in session I am free after 5pm. When we are on break for holidays or summer, I am free anytime. At my house, I don't have a fenced in yard but we have over 20 acres to walk. I am comfortable walking dogs on a leash. I have a crate for a medium to small sized dog and an outdoor "doggio" for warmer days or if a furry friend wants some time outdoors relaxing. I have three dogs, one of which is a very large and enjoys rough housing with other dogs. We have lots of toys and a house that that continues to become dog proof. We let our dogs on the couches and they have a large living room to play in.
“Emily was amazing! She kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout our whole trip. I was so nervous to leave my lil guy behind but will definitely be using Emily again in the future!”
“Kristen took incredibly good care if our dog! They went to the dog park every day, played together, and made lifelong doggie friends. Kristen sent pics every day and cared for our dog as if she was her own. She even gave her a bath! We will definitely use her services again!”
“I had a great experience with Jessica with my pups! Prior to booking, she was very responsive and even was open to a meet and greet with my pups and hers. During the stay, she sent photos and provided updates! I can always tell if my pups had a good stay with a sitter based on how they act when I pick them up. They both appeared calm and happy and one of them seemed to want to stay and play! I will definitely be using Jessica's service again!”
