“Kimberly was great! It was my first time using this app and leaving my dog in the care of a stranger. But my pup was right at home as soon as she arrived. Kimberly sent the cutest photos and updates. I knew my pup was in good hands. And when I went to pick up my pup, she was excited to see me but went back inside like she was totally down with not leaving.”
“Sarah and her sons Jake and AJ did a great job keeping my doodle Hank entertained and well taken care of! He’s full of energy, loves attention, and they gave him plenty. I received a lot of picture and text updates which was so appreciated and made me relax on vacation knowing he was in good hands!”
“Sierra was able to accommodate boy of my sweet pups last minute. She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures during their 4 night stay with her. I’d send my boys back to her anytime! Definitely recommend”
“Kyle and Lyndzie were great! So much room for King to run and play and they sent pics during his stay! They were able to accommodate our super last minute booking and were absolutely wonderful! Will book again in the future!!!”
“Pamela made Lucy feel right at home. I really appreciated the meet and greet, where she let Lucy explore her house before her “vacation” with Pamela. She also updated me often and sent me pictures of Lucy enjoying her time. I would definitely trust Pamela with Lucy again!”
“Taylor took exceptional care of our sweet girl while we did a quick trip away! She went above and beyond making her comfortable between fireworks and some rainy weather (both of which make her very anxious). Also we were provided great updates on our pup while we were gone!”
“Chloe and her fur kids were amazing in caring for my small dog, Bailey. Communication was above and beyond what I expected with frequent updates including photos. I was able to be away for two nights, with not a single worry as it was very clear Bailey was being cared for just as much as I would have. It was obvious that Bailey had a great time and she got tons of attention! I will definitely be leaving Baikey with Chloe again and would highly recommend her!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and currently have one of my own, so caring for them is second nature! I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs. We love to play, run around in our large yard, learn new tricks, and go on evening walks. There are also 2 kiddos at home who will make sure your pup is never bored! I work from home with a flexible schedule. The only time I am scheduled to leave the house is to take my kiddo to and from daycare. I am also flexible on if you would like long term or just occasional schedule. My dog is 5, and we have plenty of play time, potty breaks, and an evening walk. I treat any dog in my home as if it were my own! I have 1 dog now, so I am sure their schedules would likely align during the day.
“Bentley loves going over and staying with John. He has a fenced in yard with doggie door. Bentley loves to play with other dogs and always comes home tired and happy. Already have another scheduled time with John.”
“Wonder experience. Jillian took care of our dogs in her home for 5 days. We are always nervous leaving our boys with anyone but Jillian kept us updated everyday, sent pictures and gave us a sense of comfort so we could relax on our vacation. We got home late and our boys were calm, we'll cared for and happy. Thanks!”
About: I have experience with all kinds of pets. From reptiles, felines, and mixed breed pups, to Pit Bulls and German Shepherds. I love them all 🫶🏾 I work from home for a minimal contact tech company. After my little ones leave for school at 8:30 AM, my schedule is completely flexible. We miss having fur babies around and will treat them as part of our family. I have mild mannered boys 8 and 6 that love nature and animals.
“Kari is so wonderful with the animals she cares for. I could tell by the way my dog Ruger acted as soon as he entered her home. Usually when I pick him up, he let's me know that he's not pleased I was gone, but after a stay with Kari he is totally calm and happy. Thanks for taking such great care of my boy!”
“Hope was great with my girls. I had just recently moved to the area and found myself in need of a sitter immediately. I was very nervous but luckily my girls had a great time. Thanks for keeping them safe and sound while I was away!”
