“Sarah was amazing from meeting to pickup. She communicated so well while we were away from our doggo. She sent several pictures a day and kept us updated on how her days were going. She event sent us home with a special doggo treat, photo sticker and a doggie report card. The sweetest touches. Thank you again Sarah!”
“My parents and I gratefully and thankfully appreciate her professional services and precious caring ways to our pup. We will continue to seek her services for many years to come. I highly recommend to any pet parent.”
“Bella was a happy pup when we picked her pup. Huy and Jolene were awesome. They were very accommodating to our last minute request. I truly appreciate them.”
“Our dog seemed to enjoy her stay. Great yard for play, and neighborhood for walks. Kaitlin gave great updates during the stay and was flexible with us for drop off and pick up.”
“Jessica took great care of my dog! She sent pictures all day every day. Jessica walked her multiple times a day. My sweet baby came back happy! Will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“I really appreciated Trey and that she took great care of Luna. She sent video and photos to let us know how she was doing, including ones that showed how well the her dog played with mine. It was a huge piece of mind to find a dog sitter like Trey!”
“Kerry is so thoughtful, communicative, and caring! I appreciate her clear affection for doggos, and her patience and understanding about Petra’s quirks. Thank you so much!”
“We are so happy to have found this family to take care of our fur babies! We received updates while we were gone and knew our boys were in good hands. I’m sure they really loved being around the 4 kids and in a home versus being in a kennel somewhere. Thank you!”
“Julie, Cameron and Zeaky were amazing hosts to Growlithe! I received daily updates and lots of photos. I could tell that Growlithe felt very at home and enjoyed his stay. Thanks so much! I will definitely book with Julie again!”
“Ralph and his wife went above and beyond to ensure my dogs were comfortable and well taken care of. They made their home open to them and were communicative through the entire process. I would highly recommend their services and will use their services again. Very warm people who you can tell enjoy taking care of furry friends.”
“Amazing. Our dog was so happy and loved Karissa’s pup! Klarissa was super communicative and sent multiple cute photos each day. Would definitely recommend!”
“Very accommodating. I had miscalculated my food count for DD and she made she sure she was still fed. Went above and beyond and can’t thank her enough to take care of my dog.”
“Sharon and Michael 100/10 would recommend! They are honestly the best. They take such great care of my husky. They send the most beautiful pictures of her. And they communicate and keep me updated about my husky!”
“I needed a long-term stay for my pup and I was a bit anxious finding someone that would be willing to take care of my girl for that length of stay. Ashley was an answered prayer. She routinely gave me updates on Mazy through pictures and comments. Mazy needed to take medications for the first week and Ashley said "no problem". I couldn't have asked for a better person to care for my girl. She will care for your pup like she is your own.”
“Amanda took amazing care of my senior dog with high anxiety! She was so experienced and patient, and loving with him. He ate better for her than he does for me! I’m so glad to have found the perfect sitter for my special needs boy!”
“He did a phenomenal job. My husky loves to try to run away but was unable to, and the GPS tracker he has just in case made me feel more safe with the dogs in his hands. He took them on walks, played with them, and gave them the company they needed to not be stressed out. He kept me updated and sent pictures of them during the time away. Will definitely be using him again if I need to travel.”
“Ashley was great! We needed to find a place at the last minute for our dog for a couple nights. Great communication and she was able to accommodate some minor schedule changes, which was a big help. And, she took great care of our dog, who said he had a blast!”
About: I've been taking care of animals my entire life, whether they were my own, or my friends and family's. Everything from cats and dogs to horses and cattle, I've done it all! I treat every fur baby as if they were my own and make every day the best day. :) I am a full-time corporate accountant, but my hours are somewhat flexible. I am available for both weekdays and weekends and can also do early mornings/late nights as needed. I am available to stop in on my lunch breaks and aim to work as closely with your schedule as possible! -I am a runner, and am more than happy to take your dog for a run with me (especially the large, high-energy babies) >M-Th: 5-8 AM & 3PM - 11PM >Fridays: I have alternating Fridays off. If I'm working, weekday hours apply.

Huw and Jolynne are so sweet and kind. They watched our pup while we were on a school trip out of town for 6 nights. They were great at responding right away to let us know how our pup was doing and for questions about the booking before we left. My dog was safe and happy and I hope to have her stay there again.
Sondrea and Josh were absolutely the best sitters I have had! My golden puppy is a handful and they took such good care of him. I got so many pictures and videos. Sondrea met with me before my booking to make sure that everything would go smoothly. Excellent communication. My dog returned a very happy and tired boy. Thank you so much. 10/10 would rebook!
We had such an amazing experience with Lisa boarding our dog, Mookie! She was truly exceptional—so kind, understanding, and incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay. We have a 4-month-old puppy, so we were a little nervous leaving him, but Lisa made us feel completely at ease. It was clear right away how much she genuinely cares, and Mookie absolutely loved his time with her—he honestly didn’t even want to leave! She was also very accommodating with our schedule and needs, which made everything so much easier for us. We’re beyond grateful to have found her and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!
Cole was fantastic with Velvet, my 2-year-old rambunctious Norwegian Elkhound (who had truthfully run a few of my friends out of town). Cole sent me photos every day of a two week long vacation, obviously extending a lot of care to make sure Velvet was exercised in the middle of an early March cold snap. And that was after watching Velvet for the prior weekend, so I'm surprised Cole wasn't over my energetic doof of a dog! Cole was also extremely accommodating when travel plans threw curves our way, and we picked Velvet up a couple hours later than anticipated. I really appreciated his grace and kindness and would recommend him a thousand percent.
Kerry was amazing! She kept us updated throughout our whole boarding time. She was very accommodating to our dog who has severe anxiety, and even went out of her way to get our dog a new tag after the old one broke. Would definitely want to board our dog again with her! :)
Ralph was just so kind and caring towards our Roo girl. I was very sad leaving her for the first time with a new person since we moved to AK and knowing she was in such good hands immediately healed the worry! He was very attentive to her and her individual personality, and it was immensely evident how much TLC she was receiving day to day! Ralph was fabulous with daily communication and photos, highly recommend and would 11/10 take Roo back to stay with Ralph!!
