Hope was great! She sent several updates during the day and made sure my dog was comfortable. She was also very flexible and was able to book us last minute. I’ll definitely be using her again!

Ben is one of the best dog sitters Lamby’s met! He was available last minute and even helped us with transport as we only had our RV and finding a pet friendly taxi in town was challenging. Lamb Chop almost wanted to stay with Ben he had such a good day, and he was perfectly tuckered out and content after a fun time.

I’m happy to bring my pup to Kira’s for daycare! I believe he likes coming (if only dogs could talk and tell us what they’re thinking haha) and I know they love having him! I appreciate how much they love my dog and that they take good care of him. Kira has also helped me out and boarded him unexpectedly and with little notice, and she was happy to help me out. I would definitely recommend them for daycare & boarding!

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I offer more than just sitting — I provide personalized attention tailored to your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s gentle care for seniors, extra patience and playtime for high-energy pups, or basic training for young dogs, I’ve got the skills and heart to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like family — because they are. As a stay-at-home mom, I integrate pet care seamlessly into our daily and weekly routines. Each morning begins with feeding and checking on our pets, ensuring they have fresh water and a clean space. Throughout the day, I include walks, playtime, and interaction as part of our family activities—helping pets stay active and engaged. Grooming, cleaning litter boxes or cages, and maintaining their living areas are handled regularly, typically during nap times or quieter parts of the day. I also schedule weekly tasks such as bathing, or vet visits as needed. Caring for our pets is a natural part of our home life. As a stay-at-home mom, creating a safe, trustworthy, and nurturing environment is at the heart of my daily routine. I prioritize cleanliness, consistency, and attentiveness to ensure every member of the household—whether child, adult, or pet—feels secure and cared for. I understand how important it is to build trust through reliability and open communication, and I maintain a calm, structured environment that promotes comfort and peace of mind.

First time using Colleen for daycare, she did a wonderful job with our little picky guy. Teddy had a great time playing and snuggling each day. Communication each day went smoothly. Colleen made drop off and pickup a breeze. We will definitely use her again.

Autumn and her family is so amazing at what they are doing for your fur babies. Willow loves getting to make new doggy friends and after expressing my schedule and lack of time to crate train, autumn has been helpful in teaching Willow to love a crate a bit more. If you want your dog to have dog friends and activities with updates while you are away. You will love this family. Willow happy pee’s when she sees their daughter and I only thought that happened with her daddy when he visits. Your dog and your piece of mind will love Autumn and her family.

This family is absolutely beautiful in every way. Willow loves and approves. I highly recommend, and will be informing any of my small dog friends about Ali. She and her family worked really well with Willow in keeping her content with her separation anxiety and provide the ultimate safety, love, care, and understanding for my fur baby. If you are reading this comment, know this family is worth every penny for daycare and overnight stays so that you can do what you need without worry. I can see what makes her a Star Sitter for sure!

About: Since I was vey young I always had a special bone in my body for animals especially dogs. They're the joy in our hearts and the light of our lives. I live my life by the motto: I want to be the person my dog believes I am. I am sweet, loving, stern, and giving to my furry friends. I enjoy the presence of dogs & cats but I cannot have cats in my home due to an allergy in the family. I love to cuddle them and reward them for their good behavior. Feeding time is the happiest time for us! Walks are so comforting and much appreciated, I am fit and love going on walks. Thanks So much Jessi. Animal lover 💕 Open Availability for cuddles. I love spending time with dogs and cats. I miss my furbaby so much recently lost her to cancer and this has been helping me so much. I have a fenced back yard and cool AC indoor home. I love snuggling with pups and taking them out as needed. I am even able to make them homemade meals if necessary :)

About: I grew up in a vet clinic having a father as a Veterinarian calling it my home away from home. I chose to stay in the animal field with the passion I have for animals and be that person that owners can trust when they leave their animals and have a peace of mind.I have tons of vet tech experience. I am currently a stay at home mom with my 2 sons,Beckett and Brooks,4 cats, and a dog.We are all enjoying summer at the house with tons of free time , so watching after animals will fit into my schedule perfectly. I have a fenced in back yard and let them out very frequently, several times during the day and of course first thing in the morning and right before bedtime.My house is very clean and there’s plenty of space for your pet.I will follow any instructions you leave me whether it’s feeding or medication.When they are at my home they are considered family.They can free roam, sleep in the bed with me, get on the couch, the whole point is I want them to feel comfortable and have fun!!
