“Bonnie did an incredible job watching our two dogs over Thanksgiving week! She is very responsive, communication is great, super sweet to our pups, sent lots of pictures and updates. We highly recommend her. She has a fully fenced in yard that our dogs loved running and playing in.”


“Shannon was absolutely amazing! She sent plenty of pictures of Opie to us while we were away. We felt completely comfortable leaving Opie with her family for the weekend. We will definitely be booking with Shannon anytime we have future needs for our fur babies while we go out of town.”


“This was the first time I left my 2 boys with Ashtin and I would come back to her for taking care of my puppies every time. My boys were so well taken care of. Ashtin is very responsive and accommodating. She sends tons of pictures and updates throughout the day. We came back to very happy and content puppies. They were loved throughout their stay at Ashtin’s house and I can tell that they found a second home there.”


“Charlene and Felix were wonderful with my extra scared puppy. They provided warm and loving care with lots of pictures and videos. I would definitely feel comfortable using them again.”


“I can’t say enough GREAT things about Maci, she took such great care of our pup while we were on vacation .She was always available to talk, and even willing to accommodate our schedule when it changed. I will use her for all our boarding needs in the future!”


“We were so happy we found Jackie for our guy. This was our first time leaving Bean behind and we were anxious. Jackie took the time to pre-meet us and allowed us to see the interaction between the two. He then showed us his home backyard and family. He asked for notes, especially since being is on meds and any special needs Bean might have every day he sent us messages and pictures of Bean . Jackie is Bean’s friend. He became familiar with his ways, Bathroom behaviors and his insecurities, especially during the crazy weather if you need somebody loving and caring of your best friend, please reach out to Jackie. We are glad we did. Thanks, Traci”

Her whole family pitched in to make sure my dog felt loved and well taken care of. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend Kim 100 times over! 🐶”

“Very sweet, very accommodating! I'm nervous about leaving my babies with anyone but I was totally comfortable leaving them with Lesa and her husband. I think I missed THEM more than they missed me! It looked like they had a blast! I loved all of the pics and correspondence from Lesa throughout their stay! I felt no need to worry during my trip!”

“My pups really enjoyed staying with Randi and Pippa over the holiday weekend! This was their first stay and will be back again. Randi set up a meet and greet at a dog park and made sure our dogs got along. Her little chihuahua Pippa is so sweet and my two small dogs became buddies with her. Randi has a nice backyard in a quiet neighborhood. She sent photos and updates during their stay. My pups really felt at home!”


“This was Nova’s first time being away from home so we were kinda scared. I read thru all of the profiles and felt Michael was the best fit for Nova. Turns out I was right! Nova absolutely loved staying at Michael’s this past weekend. She even cried when he left. Kudos to Michael. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who’s looking for a dog sitter for overnight stays, or doggie care during the day. Michael took care of Nova like she was one of his own. Thank you Michael!!!!! We will definitely be seeing you again soon! 🫶🏽🐾🐕🦺”


About: I have cared for all different types of dogs since I was 12. People call me the dog whisperer because most dogs like me. I am gentle and caring with pets. I take time to learn the dog's needs and how to best interact with it. If the dog needs high energy, I give it high energy. If the dog needs me to be chill and cuddle, then I do just that. I have cleaned and bathed dogs, walked dogs, and house-set all different types of dogs. I feed my dogs at night and in the morning. I feed them when I wake up and then when I am eating dinner. I have two dogs. I take them on walks almost nightly. One dog sleeps with me every night. I have an older dog, and I give her medication and a special type of food every night. I also bathe my dogs and brush them frequently. I will care for them by feeding them, taking them on walks, bathing them, giving them lots of love and attention. I will also ensure the dogs feel safe with me and cater to all their needs and wants. I will ensure that everything is left the way it was before I came, and that if the dog happens to have an accident, it is cleaned up right then.
