“We are thrilled with Kelda! This is the first time we have left our dog with anyone, especially for 7 nights. She sent pictures and updates daily. She made sure he was comfortable over 4th of July, which was our biggest concern. The house was clean and it was great to come home to a happy dog! We will definitely book again and would recommend her!! She made this a great experience for all of us!”

“Ellyse is a hidden gem in the pet sitting world. She loves animals and it really shows! She takes the BEST care of our two dogs and two cats. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a new pet/house sitter!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs, cats, rabbits, and chickens most of my life. I have experience raising a puppy and administering oral medication as needed! I currently have a 4 y/o golden retriever who’s a big snuggle bug! I work afternoons primarily so I have the whole morning available to stop in and check on your fur baby or take them out for a walk! I can crate your pet as needed, and I am a first responder so basic first aid is no problem. Just let me know if there are any specific guidelines for caring for your pet and they will be followed!
About: I currently own 3 Golden Retrievers with my significant other. Over the years we have also had a Lab Golden mix and an Australian Shepherd. I volunteer for a nonprofit Retriever rescue and have fostered many dogs through the organization, and for the past 8 yrs I have served as a Medical Intake Manager for the rescue. I absolutely love dogs and treat all dogs like they were my own. Our home sits on 1.25 acres which includes about 1/4 acres of fenced woods with trails, our own private wooded dog park! We also have a medium sized fenced backyard with grass. Our 3 dogs are super dog friendly and love to play. We have a 2 & 6 yrs old spayed female Goldens and a 5 yr old neutered male Golden. We live in a quiet neighborhood on a dead end street with lots of private roads for dog walks. I have a very flexible work from home job and am always here to attend to your pups needs. The dog would get lots of attention throughout the day and be able to play and have lots of fun here! We have a fenced medium sized backyard, and our back woods are fenced as well which is accessible by a separate gate. I have XL wire crates on hand and can crate if needed. Super experienced dog owner from my previous fostering experiences.
“Miles was a great sitter for our two dogs! He was dependable and communicative, plus our house was super clean when we got back. Our dogs seemed happy and well cared for when we got home which is the most important!”
About: I will love and care for your pet just as it is my own! If your dog love to go for walks or swims… I have that covered! Whatever is your normal routine with your dog, I’ll make sure to maintain that at a minimum at least. If you’d like me to add some extra adventure into it while you are away, we can go for a hike, swim, stroll through the city… whatever is up your dogs alley. Even though I work, I’m always home in the evenings and weekends and your dog will be my top priority. I’m never far away for work. You will never have to worry any your beloved 4-legged family members. I work, but I always work only a few miles away. Then I’m home in the evenings and weekends to play and keep your dog company. I prefer to watch your dog in their home where they are happy and content… especially since they may be missing you. I like to make the least amount of changes to their schedule.
“I recently had Vanessa dog sit for us while we were out of town for the week. She was very communicative while we were away, sending me updates, including videos and photos, to let me know how they were doing. It was the first time I had left one of my dogs so I was worried he’d be sad without me but Vanessa was able to have him warm up to her quickly, which helped put my mind at ease while I was away. She even went above and beyond, working on tricks with them, troubleshooting how to best give them walks (one is a stubborn mini GoldenDoodle and the other a dog reactive Pit-bull). We even came home to a house that was cleaner than we left it! Overall I would highly recommend booking with Vanessa!”

Rachel is compassionate, attentive, and creates a fun, safe environment for her dogs and for those who may be staying with her, whether for a day or two or longer until they find a good home.”
