“Will return my husky to be at her care. He returned to us healthy, and playful as usual. Katie's care for pets was unequal. Fully recommend her for your pet.”
“Cooper had a fantastic time running and playing in LaRonna's huge, fenced in yard with the other dogs. I could tell from the daily photos and video, he enjoyed his stay! He'll be back!”
“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING..... Still doesn't completely sum up the the service Ebony provided for our dog Leo while we were on vacation. We were completely satisfied with her services and will DEFINITELY use her again. From the small things (daily text, and video of our dog throughout the day) to the big things (she called us when she noticed our dog had a little limp), I would say Ebony handles all areas with superb professionalism. I have recommended her to all our family/friends and would also like to recommend her to you. DON'T LOOK ANY FURTHER, here is your dog sitter. Thanks Ebony you are ACES. The Reed family......”
“I love leaving my poodle, Napoleon, with Kelly. Not only does he get to snuggle with her but her entire family as well. She quick to respond and I get daily photos. She’s my preferred sitter.”
“Thank you, Jennifer for taking great care of Molly and Bailey! I really appreciate all the pictures and updates, and it is obvious you gave them a lot of love and care while we were out of town. Great job!”
“Leah did a fantastic job all around. She was very warm and responsive when I first booked my appointment. Met Sam and I outside so he could get to know her. Let me in so I could see how he'd be staying and meet her dog. She answered all my questions and sent messages and photos during his stay. I highly recommend booking with her, and will do so again myself in the future. :)”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a little girl and to this day I rescue animals or I give them a safe home until I can find there forever homes. I’m a stay at home mom looking to make money for my kids. I’m available all day every day. I run on routine. I have a fenced in yard and a chocolate lab who loves to have friends to play with. I am always attentive and aware of all or any animals around me
“Chelsea is exceptional! Her warmth and personable nature instantly put us at ease—and our Shorkie, Dale, felt the same. The moment she greeted us at the door, Dale went right in like he’d found a new best friend. Chelsea kept us updated throughout his stay with sweet videos and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. We never had to wonder or worry—just knew he was in loving hands. So grateful for the care and connection she provided. Highly recommend!”
“My golden retriever Cooper had a great time visiting Cait and her dog. She sent me plenty of dog videos and pictures to let me know he was doing well, and she was very flexible in my booking as I needed someone to look after him for a few days on relatively short notice. 5/5 would recommend!”
“Tami is incredible!! This is my first time leaving my puppy and I was really nervous. We did a meet and greet, talked through his care and had him meet the other dogs. She took great care of Haze and sent updates throughout the weekend (which I loved). He couldn’t have been in better hands. 10/10 recommend and will be using her in the future.”
“Jamie and Aaron were amazing!! Max had the best time and I think he was sad to leave. They provided pictures and video while he was there. Will definitely use them in future!!”
“Raina was a wonderful sitter. Our dog Toby was very happy at her house, and even made some new dog friends. Raina looked after him very well and sent lots of updates, pictures and videos to make sure we knew he was doing well. I would definitely use Raina's services as a sitter again.”
“Laura is great! Always easy to schedule stays and she’s been flexible when my travel plans changed last minute. Always sends pictures and videos and my dog enjoys his time here. Highly recommend choosing her for your dog stays!”
“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”
