“Mariah and her family always take such great care of Boo when I’m in town, and they are always so flexible with timing! Boo is always so happy to be at her house he doesn’t even look back when I leave. Can’t recommend enough!!”

“Nelli had such a great time with Madalynn and Gunner! Madalynn kept us very up to date with how Nelli was doing. Couldn’t ask for a better experience!!”


4. Kami W.

“Kami was an amazing dog-sitter. From the first moment to the last, she was incredibly accommodating for myself and Travis after a hectic Christmas + NYE holiday. There were many instances where she was an all-star sitter. 1. I have a very timid/anxious boy, and I've never seen him warm up to someone so quickly before. 2. Travis still had difficulty adjusting to the new environment, and it seemed like she knew exactly what to do in each instance and often had already prepared for it. 3. She kept me actively in the loop and wasn't afraid to ask questions, which I really appreciated. 4. She took some great pictures and was very complimentary of Travis, which really helped me stay at ease while I was away and missing him dearly. 5. Travis was only supposed to stay with her for about 5 days (through Christmas), but a family emergency caused me to have to be away through NYE. It could've been an incredibly stressful and expensive situation but Kami came to the rescue and immediately offered to keep care for him those extra 4 days. There are more I could list out, she really went above and beyond the entire time and I am so appreciative of everything she did for my boy. I will 1000% be coming back the next time I need boarding.”

“She is flexible and will make things work! Always super nice to animals and treats every animal like her own. My animals love her and I never feel worried when she is there she helps so much and puts my mind at ease when I’m away from them!”

“She was like a second mom to our little old man mutt! She will go down in history as the best dog sitter he has had! Good communicator, up for administering meds, she spoiled him with love—thank you Maureen!!”


7. Amber P.


“In all honesty we were panicking about leaving our boys. We have never left them with anyone but family and really didn’t know what to expect. However from the moment we dropped them with Amber and her amazing family we knew we didn’t have to worry anymore. She, her husband and kids were absolutely fantastic!! They took care of them as if they were their own, they kept us updated daily with pictures and tales of their adventures from each day and really put our minds at ease. I don’t think the dogs really wanted to leave and come back to us lol!! I would give them 10 stars if I could and will take our boys there every time we have to go anywhere!! Thank you so much guys ??”


8. Micaela H.

“Micaela was phenomenal!! Her experience really shines through. She was flexible and provided us with multiple updates and adorable photos. She treated our pup like a prince, going above and beyond anything we could have ever imagined. We are really looking forward to more visits with her!”

About: I have two pups of my own, a shitzu and boxer. My house is dog friendly and your pup will become one of the family over their stay with us. Treats, walks, and belly rubs for all.

I own a house in town with a privacy fence in my back yard. Dogs are allowed to free roam the house while I am there, unless otherwise instructed.


10. Sherry G.
“Sherry was a God sent when we agreed on her petsitting my fur babies! Her house is tacked away from the roads and traffic, not only that but she have a huge fenced in backyard only for the dogs to be in and out of the house as they pleases in a safe area! She have two little dogs who showed my two the routine. She only had my two boys and didn’t take on any other dogs for the time being! So it was definitely not crowded and they received the one on one attention. For them it was like a huge play date, I know that for a fact because they both exited to go for a visit! She provided a total family atmosphere and treated my dogs like her own, also kept me updated with text and pictures.”


11. Allison B.
About: I have 10 years experience with every type of animal from puppies, cats to horses reptiles and birds. I also have experience with dog training. I currently work full time but my job is very flexible with breaks, so your furry friend will get all of the attention that they require! I believe in utilizing all of the space available to provide the most optimal experience for the pet and for the family returning back home
