This was our first time entrusting Patrick with our house and pups. We were quite confident in our decision when, during the meet and greet, Patrick inquired about our care routines in detail, which we hadn’t been asked before. Throughout our trip, Patrick kept us informed about our pups’ well-being by sending us pictures of their adventures. We appreciated receiving these updates as they allowed us to stay connected while we were away. We highly recommend Patrick for future dog-sitting needs and believe he would be a great fit for your requirements as well.

Ruxin is a 13 year old weimerener with loving energy. His disposition matched Natalie’s personality and there were no hesitations from either of them; they bonded immediately. Natalie is a natural. She is reliable, competent and confident. Your pet is in good hands with her. I cannot speak highly enough of Natalie’s communication and ongoing commitment to keep our loved one safe, happy and healthy while we were away. This was the peace of mind that made the trip so relaxing. Natalie can be trusted without doubt or hesitation. She is thorough and seeks clarification if she is unsure of something pertaining to the uniqueness of your pet-this is the assurance that I admire and respect most in her ability to provide exceptional care. I know that Ruxin enjoyed his stay-cation from us as much as we enjoyed our time away visiting family. This was evident through the photos that she shared throughout. In addition to the great care that she provided to Ruxin, Natalie took outstanding care of our home. Upon returning from our trip, we were very pleased to find our house spotless! Thank you Natalie for your ongoing dedication to the pets and their homes that you care for. Ruxin sends his ❤️

Megan did an excellent job of keeping me informed every morning about Prada. She provided me with specific details that I was concerned about and even went above and beyond to check on things that didn’t directly involve my dog. I received daily pictures, and if she had any questions, she didn’t hesitate to ask. I will definitely be using her services in the future.

Amanda was an awesome sitter. She was prompt and very kind. I have 5 dogs, one being a 16 week puppy and she took great care of them! She sent me pictures and kept in touch with me during the stay. I definitely will have sit again. She is a kind-sweet hearted person and I have confidence and trust in her. Thanks again Amanda!

About: I have trained my pets well, I will care and make sure they get the things they need. I want to leave your best friends in the best hands. I have random school hours near my home. I am available mostly evenings and weekends and even most mornings I can check on the animals. We have a dog that could keep your animal company, we also have done up basement if your pet prefers to be alone. We have an open back yard, so we'll just keep a leash on the pet when outside.

About: While I am currently unemployed and staying at my parents home, our family dog (Havanese) of 17 years recently passed away in February 2026. Now that my mother is retiring this summer, we wish to fill the empty home, and our combined newly gained free time, with some furry friends! For in-home boarding we will be a mother-son team with pretty wide open schedules to care for our furry guests, and will provide a great big house and yard in a great pet-friendly neighborhood for them to enjoy! I can also sit at your home if that is more convenient for you and the pet. My parents dog recently passed away at the age of 17. While I was living with them I helped to raise and care for her throughout the years. I thankfully and gratefully have always had dogs to care for throughout my entire life, from as a young child all the way to just recently with the passing of our most recent dog in February 2026. Your pet will have our full attention and their health and happiness will be the priority. We don't live very busy lives and have lots of extra free time now to care for them.

Josh watched our dogs for the first time this week. We have a puppy and a senior dog and he was great with both of them! Super communicative, sent pictures, and we felt very comfortable having him stay in our home and keep our fur babies safe! We will be using him again for sure!

Autumn did fantastic staying in my home with my dog and cat! She was on time, checked in with me, sent lots of pics, and was very responsive the entire time. I felt comfortable with her taking care of my house and pets. My cat got her medication as needed and my dog got plenty of walks and attention. I booked her again shortly after the first stay. Highly recommend Autumn to take care of your babies!

Lyla went above and beyond for our two dogs (mini poodle and pitbull mix) while we were away for a long weekend. She came to meet them a few days before we left and took them on a walk so they could acclimate to her. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, took them on two walks per day, did tricks with them, and kept them safe and entertained the whole weekend. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!!

Taliah did an amazing job watching Rowyn and Marley! She was reliable, caring, and gave them so much love and attention. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. She kept me updated and made sure everything went smoothly. I could tell both pups were happy and comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Taliah and will be booking with her again!
