1. Jen S.

“We have never left Pepperoni with anyone but family so we did a test run with Jen to prepare for our wedding this month. Everyone we would typically leave Pepperoni with will be attending the wedding so we have been stressing about what to do. Pepperoni already goes to Perfect Paws Parlor so was familiar with Jen and her one dog already, which made this really easy. Jen completely eased our minds and was great by sending updates and photos when she had Pepperoni. Pepperoni came home and passed out, I’m sure she had so much fun with Jen’s dogs. We will be booking with Jen again for our wedding and for other things! It’s great to have someone so reliable and so close to home. Thank you Jen!!”


2. Kathy H.

“Kathy was so wonderful with my little guy!! I booked her very last minute and she was so accommodating and took care of my baby for 2 days while I worked. It was so nice to not have to worry about him because I knew he was in good hands. She sent me so many pictures and updates so I never had to wonder how he was.”


3. Awoo H.

“I highly recommend leaving your dog(s) here. He was great with the dogs, very flexible with his schedule and very accommodating. Great communication and he had a great place for the dogs to play outside.”


4. Peg H.


“I’m a repeat customer because my dog loves staying with Peg. He’s always excited to head into her home. Not to mention, Peg has been very responsive and flexible for booking, drop off, and pick up. Hoping Peg is available the next time I need a sitter.”


5. Dragana T.

“You are absolutely fantastic dog sitters. Thank you for sharing the pictures and how our Darcy girl is right at home in your home. We laughed so hard that she was helping you with your chores. 😊”


6. Chrissy J.

“Chrissy is a friendly, reliable, considerate, and caring pet sitter who goes above and beyond to make sure a pet is well cared for! I could not have asked for better. Chrissy watched our almost 2 year old rescue whippet mix Honey, and Honey had a great time over at Chrissy’s home. Stellar!!!”


7. Gillian G.

“From the very first meet I knew we were leaving our pups in good hands with Gillian! She treated our dogs like her own and navigated some tricky situations when it appeared that Chloe was upset by the change of mom and dad leaving and needed some special attention. They quickly became well adjusted and had a great time! The photos and videos and updates were so welcome so we could check in while we were away. Thank you, Gillian!”


8. Brianna S.


“We have never left our dog Belle with anyone but family. Was so nice to have the piece of mind that Belle was being so well taken care of. We definitely recommend Brianna and will be using her again.”


9. Eric S.


“Eric was so good with our little Payton. It was his first time away from home since he was rescued, and we were not sure how he would react. I did not worry though because he seemed to like Eric's pets, and he loves the companionship. He had some specific needs that Eric understood and took care of. Payton came back to us a happy boy 😊”


10. Julia R.


“Julia was so accommodating of our short notice request to watch our 2 yr old lab, Bogey. He immediately felt comfortable with Julia, Adam, and their dog Parker. Parker is so friendly and playful, they got along right away and loved playing in the fenced in yard. Highly recommend- we know Bogey is in good hands with Julia and appreciated all the photo updates throughout his stay!”


11. Mike S.
“Tucker loved his stay with Mike, Amy, and their dog Bear. Bear and Tucker were fast friends and we got pictures of them enjoying their time together throughout the weekend. We were very happy to know that he was well cared for while we were away and will definitely rebook in the future when we need it!”




12. Cindy J.


“Cindy and Ken were wonderful to Dash! They kept me posted as to what and how he was doing. They also sent me beautiful pictures of him that clearly showed he was LOVING his “vacation” with them. Thank you, both! ??”




13. John K.


“John was great with Zoey, appreciated his meet and greet prior the visit so we were comfortable leaving her! He sent a couple pictures of her during her stay too!!”

About: I've taken care of pets for family members over the past 25 years while they go on vacation or even just for a day. They rely on me to walk, feed, and play with them. I also care for a neighbors cat when her parents go away. I'm currently working full time from home and have been for the past 17 years. This gives me such availability to be with and care for your fur babies. I have a fully fenced (privacy) backyard. It is fully lit all night with a dusk to dawn light. Your pups will have furry friends to play with as we have a 8yr old GSD and a 6 yr old Norweign Elkhound who have been around cats and other dogs all their life. I let the pups be out during the day as long as they want and leave the back door open so they can easily come inside (weather permitting). I do go out with the pups at night though. I keep my pups on a daily schedule and will follow whatever schedule your pets are used to. They are allowed to roam through the house and can sleep where they choose.


15. Jack R.


“Jack took great care of our pup. He is amazingly responsive and responsible. We loved seeing the periodic picture and video updates while away.”


16. Anna H.

“Anna was wonderful. We didn’t want to leave our doodle in a kennel because he becomes anxious in a crate. Anna was the perfect “homey” option. She was so accommodating, friendly, and professional. We trusted Anna for a full week with our goofy boy and she hit it out the park. We got frequent updates and pics. When we picked him up he was happy to see us, but not in an anxious “omg get me outta here” kind of way. He was just happy and looked healthy. Highly recommend.”


17. Haley S.

“Haley and her family are wonderful to work with and took such great care of Rocky. We were really nervous to leave him because he's so attached to us but everything worked out really well. I would not hesitate to leave Rocky with this lovely family again & will continue to reach out to them when we have to leave our boy again.”


18. Vera R.

“Vera was wonderful with Camper! She kept us updated with pictures and videos of Camper! Will definitely book Vera again!”




19. Kyle W.

“My 8 year old, Curly Coated Retriever, had never been boarded before. Kyle made me so comfortable at our initial meet & greet that it reduced my trepidation of being away from my girl for the first time & I knew she was in good hands. Kyle’s daily pictures & comments made being away from my girl so much easier. It was very clear seeing how much Kyle loved dogs and she was such a good caregiver to my girl. I would strongly recommend Kyle’s service to anybody who wants to ensure their dog is in the hands of someone who truly cares about her furry friends.”


20. Sylva & Mark M.

“Thank you so much for being so caring towards my babies on such short notice. Your entire family is so lovely and my dogs obviously loved being around you.”
