3. Rebekah G.
About: I have had pets my whole life. I have had many dogs and some cats as well. I can train puppies, have lots of patience with them, and can love on them all day long. I have 2 dogs. Someone is always home, so pups are never unattended. We have a 11 year old daughter as well who loves animals and loves to help care for them. We have 3 acres of land, and a log home. We have a cable to hook up dogs who like to wander, but can allow dogs to run loose if they are well trained.


4. Lauren H.

“Lauren did a great job caring for my dog Stella! She was able to accommodate a last minute boarding request and sent daily pictures/updates. Stella came home happy and well taken care of.”


5. Victoria B.

“Victoria is GREAT she kept me updated sent photos. She provided excellent care of my sweet boy. She provided extra special care of him. I won't feel as guilty next time I have to go out of town. I highly recommend.”


6. Amanda R.

“Our Arlo loved spending Christmas with Auntie Amanda and her family! Amanda provided a perfect home away from home experience for our boy. At her house he had other doggy friends to play with, lots of toys, cuddles, and exercise. She even took excellent care of him with his medication and feeding schedule. Thank you so much Amanda!”


7. Abigail C.


“We love Abigail. She took such good care of our Rufus. She is very professional and sends lots of pictures. We will be using Abigail again!”


8. Megan R.
“Megan was very nice and accommodating! She even came to pick up my dogs the first day which helped relieve some stress in my last minute packing! Will definitely book with her again if needed in the future :)”


9. Kathy & Tim L.

“Holy cow! Thanks Tim and Kathy! They took such great care of our 2 dogs for 2 weeks. So flexible on meet and greet, drop off and pick up times. Our high energy boxer is wore out, super unusual. And our high maintenance older pointer mix is just as peaceful as ever, his respiratory issue was taken care of well and that's a lot to keep up with. I can't say enough how much my wife and I appreciate the care they gave them. The fenced in yard with a good wood pile, walks, and pictures gave us peace of mind the whole time. We will book again with them anytime we need to and they're available.”


10. Peggy M.

“Peggy did such a wonderful job caring for my dog! He was so happy at her place and I got daily updates and pictures!! Thanks so much Peggy for caring for Percy as if he were your own!”




11. Amanda F.

“We were very happy with Amanda, we would definitely recommend her service. She was great with our dog and he enjoyed having friends to play with. ?❤️”


12. Star U.
“I boarded my two ESAs with Star when I went on a week long trip. They're very affectionate and are bonded animals so I was hesitant about leaving them. They were able to board in one suite together, a big plus for me in terms of both costs and the pair of them benefiting from each others' company. Star was very attentive to my explanation of their food and routine and even sent a couple photos and a video while they were there to reassure me they were doing well. I would definitely use this service to board my cats again and would recommend to anyone looking for competent and caring supervision for their pets while they're away.”


13. Danielle G.

“We are so happy with Danielle. Both my husband and I had engagements and needed to have a puppy sitter for our new rescue pup. After a brief search we found Danielle and her service. Our puppy was well taken care of and extremely well taken care of. We will absolutely be calling on her again!!”


14. Arianna M.

“Arianna was so amazing watching Granger for me!!! I was visiting the Fingerlakes with some friends and couldn’t bring Granger on a dinner cruise we wanted to do. Arianna was very sweet and wonderful, answering any questions I had over the phone before the trip, being flexible about drop off time when we were running behind, sending pictures of Granger while we were out, and allowing for a late pick up time after our cruise. She was always quick to respond and Granger was well taken care of! Would definitely recommend and will be messaging her again if I’m ever back in the area!”


15. Jessica L.


“I had a great experience with Jessica with my pups! Prior to booking, she was very responsive and even was open to a meet and greet with my pups and hers. During the stay, she sent photos and provided updates! I can always tell if my pups had a good stay with a sitter based on how they act when I pick them up. They both appeared calm and happy and one of them seemed to want to stay and play! I will definitely be using Jessica's service again!”


16. Monai R.

“Monai was great and receptive when I texted with questions about how kelso was doing. I got him back happy and safe, I’d use her services again for sure”


17. Jessica L.
About: I've had both big dogs and cats in my life. I love meeting the animal at whatever level they're at. Comfort (whether playful, peaceful, or both) is most important. I'm an avid runner, so long walks and energetic playtimes are fun for me. I love to be outside, especially with pets. For playful pups, I love playing fetch or tug of war! I have a cat currently who is leash trained and loves to hike. I have 2 years experience fostering senior dogs and 1 with a senior cat, so I'm aware of their unique challenges. I am a graduate student, so my schedule is rather flexible. I should be able to fit most demands, especially throughout working hours. I'm available for long term care as well. I have a large home, no fence, but plenty of space to walk around in. Inside, there is plenty of space for playtimes, nap times, etc. At your house, I will follow whatever directions you think best.

“Karizma has been amazing caring for my husky in the past as well as our German shepherd we have now. She is so caring and super flexible when it comes to dog sitting, definitely a lifesaver!”


19. Margaret T.
“Margaret was phenominal with my pets! She is truly the dog wisperer. Will be using her services again in the future. Bless you margaret. See you again!”
