“I’m so glad I found Carolyn! She was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of our dog Tucker. She sent video and photo updates and made me feel much better while I was out of town. 10/10 recommend.”
“I cannot recommend Kaia and Desean enough. I needed an extended stay for my Shar Pei who struggles with leash reactivity and sometimes has poor social skills when making introductions. I explained this from the start expecting to be turned down but was assured to bring the pup out and see if it was a match. Thankfully it was! My Mochi girl had tons of space to run and play and had a blast trying to her new pals to play. Kaia and Desean took the time to take care of my pup and send me updated which pup me at ease. If you get the opportunity, I HIGHLY recommend these two. Absolutely wonderful private space for your pup, great open space for play, and great people who truly care for their charges.”
“Amy and her family were great, with our puppy Sadie! This was the first time Sadie was away from home and family, but Amy made us feel comfortable about leaving her. She kept us informed with videos and pictures. And when we came to pick Sadie up, I don't think Sadie was ready to leave! We will definitely be using Amy again, and would recommend to others!”
“Nothing but good things to say! We have an anxious pup that needs time to warm up with others. Katie and her family were patient and caring for our dog and our dog loved her time at their place!! Will definitely be booking again with Katie!”
“I cannot recommend Brenna highly enough! They took such wonderful care of my dogs while I was away. From the moment we met, I felt completely at ease—my dogs took to them right away, which says a lot! Throughout the stay, she sent regular updates, photos, and even a video, which made being away from my pups so much easier. It was clear they treated my dogs like part of the family—with walks, playtime, and cuddles. When I returned, my dogs were happy, calm, and clearly very well cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and responsible to watch your dog, look no further. I’ll absolutely be booking with Brenna again!”
“Jessica and her family were so good to my Ellie. She loved her the way we would love her at home, and that’s exactly what we were hoping for. I highly recommend Jessica to all of you out there looking for someone to take amazing care of your pet while you’re away.”
“Blake was so sweet and accommodating for my dog Eddie! She is so knowledgeable and patient and can really handle anything that comes her way. I had so much peace of mind thanks to her kind updates and pictures. Thanks a million for making Eddie a home away from home!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve raised puppies from the ground up and currently care for two energetic, lovable dogs of my own — a Lab Collie mix and a German Shorthair Pointer. I understand the importance of exercise, patience, and attention to detail when it comes to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s puppy playtime, long walks, or keeping a consistent routine, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I’m confident with a variety of breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, and I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care every time. I work part-time during the day, which gives me plenty of flexibility for drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays. On weekends and evenings, I’m usually outdoors or spending quality time with my dogs, so adding a few more furry friends to the mix fits in perfectly. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something I truly enjoy and build into my lifestyle. When pets are in my care, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. At home, I provide a calm, dog-friendly environment where pups can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. My dogs are well-socialized, and I make slow, supervised introductions to ensure everyone gets along. I keep my space clean and secure, with plenty of room for play and quiet areas for rest. I stick to the routines pets are used to — feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and any special needs. Whether it’s an overnight stay or a quick visit, your pet will be loved, safe, and cared for like one of my own.
“Rachel and her family were a perfect fit for Caddy! She was very responsive and flexible to make sure Caddy was comfortable to all her needs. If you are in the Fort Novosel area I highly recommend booking with her.”
“Phyllis is Great with our Max!! She is beyond patient with our small dog who is HIGHLY energized! She did everything possible to keep him safe, calm, and happy during a rainy and LOUD holiday weekend for the July 4th! Which is no small thing concerning he is extremely scared of fireworks and bad weather! I highly recommend her to care for your fury family members! She treats them just like they are her own! Can’t thank her enough!”
“Second time boarding with Ben and my dog Harley is glad to visit him. Great peace of mind going out of town knowing he’s being well taken care of and happy. Above and beyond with a flight delay ending up needing an extra night of care last minute. Highly recommend to anyone in the area for a great pet sitter.”
“Teresa and her husband are very accommodating and flexible with my early morning drop offs or late evening pickups. My pups enjoy playing with their own dogs and always look happy in their updates and when I pick them up 😊”
“Amber and her husband took great care of our cat! She was feeling like home from the moment we dropped her off! Thanks to Amber for sending picture everyday so we knew that our cat was doing well and that made us free from worries. Our cat is definitely coming back again!”
About: Come. Stay. Play. It's a win-win relationship when I sit your pup. Enjoyment and Enrichment is what I feel and your pup will be happy, relaxed and safe. Long walks, belly rubs, fetch and squeak toys. You can feel at ease knowing your fur baby is in good hands. My strength is being reliable and responsible. You can trust that your home will be well cared for and that I will quickly respond to your text. Your fur baby safety is certainly important to me. Dogs are walked while they are on a leash and I carefully watch out for pet escape artist. Treat your pooch!! Love and Treats!! I also have experience caring for cats, bunnies, turtles, and even bearded dragons!! I'm open to learn more about your pet. My four- legged friends!!
“Jennifer was great with my little buddy ‘Valentine’. She shared photos throughout his stay and sent him home with a bag of bacon strips. (A bag he chewed through later that night to indulge himself - caught him with a strip hanging out his mouth!!🤪)”
