“This is our 4th or 5th time leaving Chief with Michael and Linda and they do a very good job. They are our top choice for leaving our dog when we go out of town .”
“Bridget was wonderful with our Frodo & Arwen. She kept us updated and sent plenty of playtime pictures of our pups and a couple with their new friends. We will be back next time we are in need of a sitter.”
“Meghan was very accommodating with my senior special needs dog. He needed the comfort of someone's home. Her children were an added bonus because he loves kids. We don't travel often so being able to find a place Woody felt comfortable as well as myself helped relieve the anxiety of traveling. Our drop off and pick up time needed to be flexible and Meghan was very available via text to and work with those times on the fly. If we have to travel again I will feel comfortable leaving Woody with her.”
“Billie communicated with me with messages and pictures over the course of time that she was caring for our dog. I would recommend her. Thank you Billie! Debbie Kerr”
“Cheriese is very accommodating, and my dog loves to stay with her and her family. She also sends lots of photos, so I know Lady is happy and doing well. I highly recommend her!”
“He’s amazing! Quick responses to text, regular updates with pictures and videos. My puppy looks relaxed and happy. Definitely will be my go-to person in the future. Worth every penny:)”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend! I recently left my 13-year-old dog, Ginger, with Wanjia for three days, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, Wanjia was incredibly professional, communicative, and accommodating to my drop-off and pick-up schedule. Throughout Ginger’s stay, Wanjia provided regular updates and sent multiple photos each day, which gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was in great hands. When I picked Ginger up, she was happy, energetic, and clearly well cared for. What really stood out was Wanjia’s thoughtful approach to Ginger’s comfort. At her age, Ginger has her preferences, and Wanjia made sure she could sleep where she felt most comfortable—on the couch, with cozy blankets and pillows. It’s clear that Wanjia genuinely cares for the pets she looks after. I highly recommend Wanjia to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Stephen and his wife and daughter made Bandit feel right at home. I loved all of the pictures and text to show me what she was doing. I’m sure she loved the walks to the lake. I would definitely recommend Stephen and I am positive I will use him again. Thank you for making Bandit feel a part of the family.”
“Sarah was wonderful and extremely accommodating for us when we needed a place for our pup to stay last minute. She sent us lots of pictures of our dog and a video so we knew he was happy and well taken care of. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely use Sarah again.”
“Our dog Westley stayed with Alan & Karen for 3 nights. Alan was awesome, he made our dog feel comfortable, took the time to make sure that he was happy, and sent us pictures every day. We would definitely trust him to watch our dog again.”
“My dog enjoyed staying with Caroline so much she's been a little bummed out since she's been home. No better compliment than that! She also made us feel very secure in her knowledge of how to care for dogs and we will definitely be taking Gertie back to visit in the near future.”
“Candice was the best. Great communication throughout my pups stay. I could definitely tell from the videos and pictures she sent me that my dog was having a great time! I highly recommend Candice!”
“Mara was great! She sent me pictures and kept me updated on how my little girl was doing. Leah is elderly and requires medication and Mara had no problems with that. Mara also accommodated my late pick up due to my flight itinerary. Definitely recommend!”
“Jolene and Sean were life savers. Nyla had a great time. I loved getting all of the pictures and the communications from them. I definitely look to having Nyla stay with them again.”
“We are so thankful for Samantha!! On short notice she was able to care for our dog over Thanksgiving weekend. Our dog has never been boarded and has never stayed overnight at someone’s house (other than close family). Samantha gave Willow her space and allowed her to warm up on her own time. My dog is very nervous and will growl and show her teeth if she’s scared. Within 5 minutes of me dropping Willow off, I got a picture of Willow getting pets. Within 10 minutes of dropping her off, I got a picture of Willow snuggling on the couch. I was so surprised! We are so happy with Willow’s care and most definitely recommend Samantha!”
About: I've had pets my whole life, large and small dogs, and cats. I also have 100+ hrs walking dogs at the local shelter. Making sure they're happy and well taken care of genuinely makes me happy. I do have a full time job at a daycare center, but I'm free after 3pm on weekdays and any time on weekends. I can do overnights at my house any day of the week. I have a large field behind my house, my yard is not fenced. I always have my dog on a leash when outside and do not kennel her when I'm gone. I do have a kennel if it's needed.
“Kaitie and Evan did a great job keeping my dogs who suffer from separation anxiety relaxed and assured they were safe while we were away for seven days. Thank you Kaitie and Evan. - Cindy”
“I literally cannot say enough about how fantastic Lisa is. I am so thankful that we found her -- she is now our dog-sitter for life! Lisa is one of those people that just loves and understands dogs, and they respond accordingly. Our two labs have stayed with a few different boarders over the years, and I always felt that they were safe and cared for, but I have NEVER seen them as happy and comfortable away from home as they were with Lisa. She played with them, snuggled them, gave them their doggie supplements, and took them out for adventures on her huge piece of property (8 fenced acres). My dogs loved having so much space to roam and play. Her house is also very dog friendly -- Lisa sent me pictures and updates throughout our trip, and my dogs looked incredibly comfortable napping on her soft red chair. When my 8-year-old saw the pictures, he said, "our dogs are having the best vacation ever!" I am so thankful that we now have a place to take our dogs where they will be not only cared for, but loved and spoiled. Thanks Lisa for such an amazing experience!!”
