“Wade was great with our little old man mutt, even with medicating with an inhaler! He gave our pup a vacation vibe while we were vacationing and was a gracious host. Thanks Wade!”
“We are so grateful to have found Brian to care for our two very special dogs, both of whom come with their own quirks and sensitivities. Our sweet and playful pup, Abbi, gets anxious in new environments, while our 13-year-old, Hank, is mostly sweet and playful but can also be a bit reactive when startled, especially by fast movements or unfamiliar people. Brian was incredible with both of them. Hank warmed up to him almost immediately (something that rarely happens) and seeing him snuggling his head into Brian's hand during one of the daily video updates was a highlight for us. Brian’s calm, confident presence clearly helped both of our dogs feel safe and happy. They had plenty of space to explore, lots of outdoor playtime, and were cared for with patience and attentiveness. In addition to putting our dogs at ease, he also managed to put my husband-who tends to be quite anxious about leaving them-at ease, as well. The daily video updates, thoughtful care, and dog-friendly environment made all the difference.”
“Amber and her husband were great about giving me updates on Carroll’s sleep and eating habits over the two days. That was appreciated and he looked happy in his vacation home.”
“Beth has quickly become my go-to sitter over the last year or 2. Molly loves to visit, she start yipping and gets excited as soon as we pull into her neighborhood. I always get timely updates and lots of pictures of a happy dog, who is then tired out once we get home because she had so much fun. Thanks again Beth, Buddy, Ruby, and Bug.”
“Bo's stay at Faith's must have been amazing because he's been sleeping ever since we've been home!! Faith was easy to work with even when I had to make last minute changes to our pickup time.”
“She did great with our cat Smokey! Will definitely book again. She was very understanding of the storm and pick up times being pushed back. Also sent pictures to update us regularly on our boy! Couldn’t be more happy! 10/10 recommend her & we will be back!”
“Amanda and her family are amazing! Freddie & Chunk are always so happy and relaxed with amanda. This is my 2nd stay for over a week and I couldn't be happier. Amanda is very responsive and sends daily updates with pictures. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ”
“We needed an emergency sitting since our previous solution couldn't address our needs at the last minute. In comes Megan to the rescue! She could not be more pleasant and while our dog isn't necessarily comfortable with strangers, he warmed up to Megan and they were best buddies by the time we picked him up. Would definitely recommend and use her again.”
“My dogs were happy and content when we arrived to pick them up. Jessica sent us pictures and they seemed perfectly relaxed . She was able to fit us in for the last minute call and I was very grateful. We will definitely contact Jessica , the next time we head out of town .”
“We couldn’t have wished for better dog sitters then Crystal & Jadon. Puddles has anxiety when she’s separated from us and gets VERY whiny. Crystal & Jadon worked with her to get her calmed down when we left. They were very patient with her and took a lot of picture and kept us updated the whole time we were away. She slept with Jadon and even played a little bit. We were somewhat gun shy after a bad experience with another local dog boarding business. We can’t say enough wonderful, positive things about Crystal & Jadon. They will definitely be our sitter for any future traveling.”
“Jody was extremely pleasant to work with. She was friendly immediately upon meeting her and interacted with our dogs like they were her own. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
“Watched our Great Danes! She did a great job! Our dogs had lots of room to play and run outside! They also got to play with her dogs! She sent pictures when I asked!! Would definitely recommend her!”
“Kristina and Mark were great! They took awesome care of our girls and sent lots of pictures to keep us up to date on all their activities. They have a nice fenced yard and sweet German Shepards for your dogs to play with! I know my dogs enjoyed getting to be on the couch and get snuggles from the kids!”
About: Ive taken care of dogs every size. teaching new tricks, going on walks, and ice cream is something I enjoy doing with a fur baby I currently work full time night shift. I work 12 hrs shifts so my other 4 days during the week are open to helping other animal lovers with their babies. Because without the help I receive on my work days I would b very stressed. I have an unfunded yard but I love going on walks. Me and my dog ( henny) are always going hiking, fishing, to the dog park, or just out for a car ride. Henny loves all dogs and has lots of energy to play.
“As always, Allie did a wonderful job with my pup! Sami had a great extended visit. Allie sent lots of pictures to help me deal with missing my fur baby. Allie always goes above and beyond when she cares for Sami. Definitely will have Sami stay in the future.”
