“We needed a sitter at the last minute and Clare was able to take our little dog. I feel she took wonderful care of Chewey with ample walks and plenty of attention and sent pictures of a happy dog relaxing in the sun.”
“Samantha is the best with dogs! She always sends multiple update photos per day and I can tell my dog is always living her best life at Samantha's house. Very clean and fenced in backyard, knows her stuff, I HIGHLY recommend!”
“This is our second time using Cliff to care for our puppy and he is great! Very responsive, sent us pictures and updates and genuinely loves dogs. Highly recommend him and will definitely use him again.”
“Patty is great! It’s easy to leave our dog with her because we know she will be well taken care of and happy. Patty is very responsive, and provides updates and pictures to let you know how things are going. I will for sure seek her out again the next time we need someone to watch our dog.”
“Scott has watched our pup multiple times now and we are so thankful for him! We are finally able to travel knowing that our dog Ace is safe, happy, and taken care of. I never stress or worry when we are away, and he is always SO happy to arrive there and is a happy pup when we leave. Thank you Scott for everything!”
“My baby boy had a fantastic overnight with Bailee and her fur babies. It's so important that I know Tootie is comfortable and loved in my absence. I watched as Tootie entered the home. He walked around, sniffing. I saw that Tootie was comfortable. Bailee sent pictures and many comical comments. She brought many smiles to my face. Thank you Bailee for loving Tootie.”
“Brianna took in our dog for the week. She was excellent about giving updates and sent lots of pictures. He even came home with some artwork and a bunch of treats! Would 100% recommend her services.”
“Highly recommend! Our dog had a blast and Elizabeth gave us frequent updates on how he was doing. Very friendly and had a lot of the dog gear such as crate, toys, etc”
“Couldn't have been better. Evan was super accommodating with our last minute travel plans and answered all questions and texts back very quickly and professionally. He even texted us photos so we could see she was happy and having fun. Will definitely use again.”
“Nicole (and her family) took the best care of Margot while our family was at Disney. She communicated and organized a meet up with plenty of time in advance and made sure I was comfortable. She answered the many questions I had and it was obvious how much she loved having dogs in her home. From the minute Margot was in her care, I received pictures and videos. Her entire family loved on Margot and even with an unexpected health issue during Margot’s stay, I never doubted she was being loved. Can’t wait to have Margot stay with them again!”
About: I have spent my entire life around animals, especially larger, older dogs. I am home full time while classes are online and am very flexible with sitting times. I am currently taking classes online for the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I tend to be busier on the weekends but if you give enough time in advance I am pretty flexible. I live in an apartment complex, and don't have a yard, so animals will have to be leashed when outside. I do not have a lot of space, so smaller animals are preferred, especially for longer stays.
“Happy doggos! Loved that house was clean and organized and kids played with the dogs. They got plenty of snuggles and great fenced in back yard. Thank you!”
“Cory did great with our pups! We were gone for 10 days so we were a little worried but the dogs did great with Cory. They got a lot of walks in and when we picked them up they were as happy as can be! Would definitely rebook with Cory.”
“She was very accommodating and great communication. We had just one of our pups with her and If we are ever back in the area we would feel very comfortable leaving our pups with her. Great yard and relaxed area. If you are looking for a person in this area you will not be disappointed.”
“Kevin was amazing at working with me when I change her drop off time twice due to flight changes. He sent me pictures and videos and let me know Cookie was warming up to him (as I was worried about that, as she is wary of people she doesn't know). He was also accommodating in letting someone else pick up cookie for me as I wouldn't be able to. Cookie seemed to be her normal self when I returned home and hopefully she was good for Kevin during her stay. I would book with Kevin again as he was very chill and laid back about Cookie.”
About: I've had animals my entire life! I have experience in puppy training, senior care, post surgery care, dogs of all sizes, bathing, nail trims for cats and dogs, and administering medication. I'm currently working part time, so I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. I'm available during the day, weekends and most evenings too! I have a fenced in yard with lots of room to run around. I also live right by a park with a nice walking path. My current dog is allowed on our couches, sleeps in our bed, and doesn't need a crate. I love to take my dog on walks and play tug of war, or play fetch with him!
“Kristy was so awesome to our Nyla! Nyla loved playing with Kristy’s dogs and I can tell she really enjoyed her time! She sent us plenty of pictures and videos, which was needed as we missed our pup a bunch. It was our first time away from her since we got her, and we were comforted knowing she was well cared for.”
