“Allawr is wonderful! I would highly recommend her and plan on using her again. We received frequent updates and photos. Our girl Rachel is still tired from her time there as she had plenty of other dogs to play with, not just us.”
“Super accommodating and friendly. Our dogs had to stay an extra day due to a flight cancellation and she made it so much less stressful. Dogs are happy and well cared for. I would definitely book again.”
“5 stars isn't enough to express my gratitude to Emily & Andre for the loving care and attention they give my boys - who come back from every visit happy and calm. Also very much appreciate the frequent updates, can't recommend them highly enough though selfishly I want to keep them to myself :)”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from cats & dogs to fluffy chinchillas! I have special experience working with powerful breeds, including retired and aspiring K9s, as well as senior & special needs pets. My home comes equipped with accessiblity tools like pet stairs & ramps suitable for even larger dogs. Our quarter acre is unfenced, but we do have a small enclosed area off the porch & several long leads to enjoy more of the grassy lawn. Safety is paramount. I’m comfortable giving medication, following specialized diets, & assisting with mobility issues. I’m an experienced pet parent who just said goodbye to my 17 year old rescue pitbull; I’d like to open my now-too-quiet home to your beloved family members. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ friendly ❤️ I’m a professional writer who works exclusively from home. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to any specific needs, take all the potty breaks, and ensure both enriching play & restorative snuggles. And treats, of course! I have a fenced potty area off my porch for easy quick breaks, and several long leads for exploring the unfenced portions of the property. My senior dog recently passed away but she left soft beds in every room, jars of treats, and a big basket of toys I know she’d love to share.
“I found a Blue Ribbon dog sitter in Nicole! She takes my dog Poppy to her house and is very punctual in drop off and return. She says her kids love having Poppy stay with them. I feel absolutely free from any worry and Poppy loves to see me again upon return.”
“Steve was able to dog sit my puggle Chomps on such short notice. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone other than family and I was hesitant in using a dog sitting service. Upon meeting Steve I felt comfortable in leaving Chomps with him. Steve sent me pictures of Chomps during his stay. He was also extremely accomodating, as we were returning from our trip a little later than anticipated. When we arrived to pick him up, Chomps did not even want to get into the car to leave. Chomps and I both give Steve two paws up!! I would highly recommend Steve and would absolutely request his services again in the future. ??”
“Kat and Will were absolutely wonderful with our small but energetic dog. He had a proper doggy vacay in their gorgeous home. Absolutely no hesitation to recommend them to anyone. Thanks both!”
“Kylie was an amazing dog sitter for my dog Hershey. She was punctual at pick up and drop off and gave me updates about my dog’s stay with her. She was very accommodating and took great care of my dog during my time away. Would highly recommend her.”
