My Lola had a blast staying with Lisa! She sent many pictures and updates during her stay and was very responsive. Plenty of toys and comfy places for a pup to enjoy in the household and a safe fenced in yard. Would definitely recommend!

Ally was really great with my dog Miller. She was very open with her communication and sent a lot of updates and pictures over the weekend. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter in the area. And will definitely let her watch my dog again in the future

This was our first time ever leaving our pup with anyone and Heather made it the absolute BEST experience for us! She sent lots of pictures and updates of all their fun adventures and he was in the best mood when we picked him up and he even seems to be listening better after his stay! He definitely got his own little mini vacay with Heather and her family. I would 100% recommend Heather, and we can’t wait to schedule another play date!

Jenevieve was everything you could want in a pet sitter! We left our dog and cat with her while we were gone for a week. They both thrived and got loved on by the whole family. She followed feeding instructions to a “T” and gave them so much loving and attention. We will definitely book with her again! Can’t recommend enough.

Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!

When our new puppy fell into our lap, we were SO EXCITED! She fit right in to our family!! However, within 2 weeks of having her, we had a previously scheduled road trip that didn’t allow for a puppy to tag along. In came Scott to our life! I had never used Rover before, but after meeting Scott, we knew Trooper would be in good hands. We received daily updates, photos, and videos while we were gone…easing our minds that our sweet girl was doing well. She had so much fun run and playing, meeting other dog friends, and forming a special bond with Scott’s own dog. We would highly recommend their services and will definitely use Scott in the future!

Jaden and his girlfriend were amazing!!! They took such incredible care of our dogs. We were worried our dogs wouldn’t want to leave when we picked them up! They took them on walks at the lake, played and cuddled with them, and treated them as they were their own. Definitely book Jaden! He is amazing and a great communicator! Your dogs will be insanely blessed to stay with Jaden!!

Amazing experience. Our dog gets homesick but Alexandra was there to help him adjust while we were out of town. He LOVED the big backyard and his new dog friend. Thank you for taking such care of our dog and giving us updates along the way - you went above and beyond.

We hit the jackpot with Ashley and her family- both human and furry! We left our quirky little guy, Dewey, with her for over a week. He can be anxious around new people and in new places. He was so comfortable with Ashley and loved her yard. They loved on him and let him be his quirky self. We will definitely be repeat clients of Ashley’s any time we need a place for Dewey to stay.

Elizabeth is very sweet and knowledgeable about dog behavior. We were welcomed by her and her two pups on leash, and the interaction worked well! She sent many photos and video updates. Elizabeth even brushed him before I picked him up.

About: Hi there! I'm Dax, a lifelong dog lover with plenty of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Whether your pup needs medicine, a special diet, or any other personalized care, I've got it covered. At home, I have two of the friendliest small dogs who would love to have some company while I work from the office. I'm dedicated to ensuring every dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable during their stay. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I work from home full time and able to care for dogs at any time of the day. I walk dogs every 2-3 hours around the neighborhood. Dogs are allowed to roam the entire 3 story home and play or lay on all furniture including couch, beds, dog beds, etc. More than happy to have your pup sleep in bed with us or crate if you’d prefer!
