“Shawn & Joey took amazing care of our dog. They took her to the dog park which she absolutely loved and sent us pictures and updates throughout her stay with them. We would definitely recommend Shawn & Joey if you need a dog sitter!”
“Brandi was amazing and took such great care of Oakley! We received updates daily. Brandi’s communication before the boarding was great. We appreciated the meet and greet so Oakley could meet her and her dogs! When we picked up Oakley you could tell she was well taken care of! Brandi expressed how Oakley’s visit was with us and how she did well with her! We would highly recommend Brandi!”
“our dog had never been away from home for this long so we were a little nervous to leave him but, Christy was amazing and took care of him like he was her own, she gave him endless cuddles and love. she kept us updated through the week with tons of videos and pics and even facetimed us too! Ozzy had tons of fun playing outside and socializing with the other pups. I will 100% take our baby back to her!”
“Amanda was amazing with our fur babies. We felt so good when we dropped them off and never worried once about them. She provided great pics and video for our assurance. We could tell once we picked our babies up, they were well taken care of and loved. We would highly recommend Amanda, she was by far the best. She will treat your babies like her own!!”
“Randee was great with Louie! We will not hesitate to have Louie stay with Randee again. Randee was very accommodating and understanding when we had to adjust some drop off and arrival times.”
“Katie provided wonderful care for our small dog, Benny. Her communication with me was excellent before and during the stay. Her home is warm and inviting. She has a new fence enclosing her back yard which gave me comfort. Her entire family took part in Benny’s care. He came home happy, relaxed, and oh so tired out from all the play and attention! We’ll definitely contact her again in the future!!!”
“Luna absolutely loved staying with Colleen. Colleen took great care of her, kept us updated with photos and videos, and was very flexible with us. We will definitely be using her again!!”
“Tara and Kathryn watched our dog for about a week. They were very prompt in responding to our messages leading up to drop off and pickup as well as when we checked in to see how he was doing. He looks like he had a blast there! He's a very tired boy now so I know he had fun! Thank you both!”
“My dog lily had the best time with Brooke and Remy! She always provided updates on how she was doing through the day, typically multiple times a day, usually with some awesome edited pics or videos. Her updates were very detailed and you can tell she really cared for her. There was also plenty of toys and space to run around. She even had an extended leash outside so she could run around the backyard with Remy. It was also a good learning experience to see how she does with another dog. She was super helpful in letting me know any concerns and very knowledgeable when it comes to taking care of a puppy. It was far better compared to some other places and felt she learned more instead of regressing. Definately my best experience so far!!! :)”
“Andrea was wonderful. My dog Gracie has severe anxiety and it wasn’t going to work, unfortunately. I ended up having to leave work and take her home. I felt bad for Andrea, but she reassured me she was fine with everything. Some dogs just don’t do well in other people’s homes. Anita”
“Lucinda is absolutely fantastic. She treated my dog Buddy like she was his, right off the bat. Professional, detail oriented, loving and caring for the animal like it’s her own. She was great with daily photos, updates, and she goes above and beyond the whole time. I honestly could not have hoped for a better sitter. My dog has loads of energy. He was knocked out as soon as I picked him up. She gave him both toys and rawhides that he liked. They took him on car rides. Everything you would ask for. I am a small things in life matter kind of person, Lucinda and her roommate Jacob absolutely fit the same bill. I already have plans to use her whenever I can. Very impressed and completely satisfied with the whole process. Thank you Lucinda. ?”
“She has a great setup for dogs. Country setting and plenty of room. Very accomodating in the care of Holly. Holly was able to stay outdoors in the shade or sun and come inside at night. Thank you.”
About: I’ve had a love for animals throughout all of my life. I’m the type that gets distracted during anytime of the day just to smile at a dog walking by. I’ve grown up with a dog in my family for most of my life and have spent multiple years as a dog mom myself. I am patient and persistent with all breeds and ages of dogs. I’m able to be flexible with my schedule and work from home when needed. I am able to adjust my schedule as needed to meet any and all of your dog’s needs. I have a fenced in yard that allows freedom to play :) I have a two-year old yellow lab that gets along with other dogs & loves to play! I am open to any specific preferences or needs your dog may have!
About: I have a lot of experience caring for different types of animals, including reptiles, cats, and dogs. I'll make sure your four-legged friend feels comfortable, gets plenty of snuggles, has room to roam, and receives quality care. I love animals and spend the majority of my time working from home and caring for my pets. I am available to care for animals nearly 24/7 without interruption and have the freedom to spend time with the pets in my care. I have a two-acre country yard that is unfenced. Dog owners may bring invisible radius fences to use in my yard, or dogs can be leashed or put on runner if needed. If desired by the owner, dog crates can be used if provided. I have a large space for cats to remain undisturbed by household activities and pets.
