“I have had a couple of questionable experiences with dog sitters for my 2 babies in the past. Reynaldo eased all of my fears. He communicated with me daily and my pups were always smiling, active and happy in my absence. The girls really enjoyed their vacation with him, so I was able to fully enjoy mine. Thank you so much! We will definitely be back!”
“We have used Sidni several times and my dogs get excited about going there as we pull up to her house. Very responsive communication & always a great experience, thanks Sidni!”
“Had a great experience with Nancy. She was very caring and loving with my dog, Lucy. I received regular updates and pictures of Lucy living her best life! I would recommend her without hesitation! Thank you, Nancy!”
“My dog was unexpectedly sick one night while in her care (totally random, not on Amanda at all), she patiently cared for her and sent me updates. Thank you for taking care of our pups.”
“11/10 service! This was my first time ever leaving my dog with someone and I don’t think I could’ve made a better choice! My dog was very scared and nervous but Brando and his family showed him patients and after a while he warmed up! I would highly recommend and book again in the future!”
“This was our first time boarding our nine year old dog with anyone in a long time and Rick was great. We had a successful meet and greet two weeks before our scheduled boarding and Rick felt confident to manage our dog's personality. Rick understood our dog's reactive issue and kept close watch on her during her stay. He sent us daily photos and videos and communicated with during our dog's five day stay. We would feel very confident in boarding dog with Rick again. Thank you very much.”
“Elizabeth and her family are wonderful sitters! My Gretel loved being with her three dogs! They totally have accepted Gretel into fold and it made us feel so good for her. I received videos and pics throughout her stay with Elizabeth. I will keep Elizabeth in mind every time.”
“Phenomenal service! Teddy was well taken care of and returned home exhausted from all the fun he was having at Miss Tami’s place with her other fur babies. Her place is very pet friendly and she is so kind. We appreciate you for sharing your home with Teddy 🥰”
“If you want to feel secure knowing your dog will not only be cared for but truly loved while you're out of town, book with Vanessa. She is willing to meet up for a meet & greet before booking for the first time and ensures your dogs are a good fit with her own. Vanessa has excellence communication throughout your dog's stay, providing photos and anything else you need! We're lucky to have someone close by who we trust with our girl, Violeta.”
“So happy with my dog's stay. He got the attention and care he needed! They were in great communication and I wasn't worried at all. My dog is newer and she worked with his issues and while I was worried because I didn't have a ton of historical info to give and be absolutely sure, it definitely worked out great! Would recommend!”
About: I’m Hailey and I’ve spent the last 6+ years caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I absolutely love doing it. I currently have three adorable dachshunds who are not just pets but they’re my family. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry loved ones, because that’s exactly how I feel about mine. Whether your pup loves long walks, playful fetch sessions, or cuddle time, I’ll tailor my care to their unique needs. I’m known for being gentle, patient, and extremely attentive. I treat every dog like one of my own because that’s the only way I know how. From puppies to seniors, shy dogs to social butterflies, I’m here to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment while you’re away. Let your pup join my little dog loving pack, and you'll come home to a happy, excited buddy! As a stay at home dog mom, caring for pets isn’t just part of my routine it is my routine! I spend every day with my three babies that are truly my world. Pet care isn’t a job to me it’s a lifestyle I genuinely love. Your dog won’t just be watched, they’ll be welcomed into a home full of love where they’ll be treated like part of my family.

“Terrie is the best sitter!! She took care of my Cici, a yorkie, as if it was one of her own pets for 5 days. Very lovely and kind-hearted person, warm home, very organized and kept me informed of my dog everyday. Cici had a great time! We will definitely book again with her for our next trip. Only good and beautiful things to say, and very thankful that we have found Terrie!!”
“Sonia was great, with updates and pictures in the morning and evening. The dogs looked happy, and confortable around her at the end of the stay. First time boarding my dogs, was a little concerned since one is a pit mix, and big cry baby, she met him the day before; very happy with her service.”
About: I’ve been around pets ever since I was 5 years old, and have taken care of them by myself ever since I was 10. I have a vast amount of knowledge in caring for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I even have experience helping momma dogs give birth. If your pets are on any type of medication do not worry I will take care of that for you. I also have some knowledge in training as I have trained every dog I have owned. I am currently at home almost 24/7 the only times I’m not is if I have to run so errands, but I’m never out for more than 3 hours especially if I have any pets being boarded with me. If you need me to come by and check on your pet/pets I can come by as often as needed. I do have 3 dogs living with me one is mine one is my mom’s and one is my brother’s. They all stay downstairs and whenever I have any pets staying with me they will be with me in my room which is upstairs. They will have the whole upstairs to themselves as it is gated off. If you do not wish for your pets to come in contact with mine I will make sure of that. If your dogs are dog friendly and you don’t mind them playing with other dogs I will introduce them to only my boy to have some play time. I live of 5 acres and have a huge backyard plenty of room to get their energy out. Your pets will always be watched when outside. I also live close by to a park that I can take your fur baby’s on a walk at. If your pets need to be crated at night I ask if you can provide the crate and I’ll set it up right in my bedroom. If your dogs are potty trained and are used to sleeping in bed I will allow them to sleep with me. If you happen to have any other questions feel free to ask me.
About: I am a dad of 2 and I have a passion for taking care of dogs. I have more than 25 years of experience with dogs requiring special care. I am particularly good with dogs that require medications, particularly senior dogs. I have in the past taken care of dogs with heart failure, to dogs with meningitis and much more. My schedule is pretty much open as long as I have enough notice. I love taking care of dogs and as long as I have enough notice I would be happy to take care of anyone else’s dog. I treat all pets like family. If they want to play, want to be taken out or fed I am always around. I don’t limit where dogs can go in the house unless specifically told to.
“Mayalin took great and loving care of my shih tzu. She was always updating me along with photos. She was so kind to go out of her way to get special dog food at the grocery store for me. She by far exceeded my expectation. So so grateful to find a loving and trustworthy sitter.”
