As always, Eric is a great sitter. Absolutely no worries when Titus is at his house. Titus loves Eric and we would never consider anyone else to care for him while we are on vacation!

Andrea took great care of our dog!! She kept us up to date with pictures, videos, and check-ins! Our dog can be super shy when meeting strangers but she felt comfortable in her care. Highly recommend Andrea!!

Our dog moose had the best time at Chris’s house and hobby farm. They took wonderful care of our dog and we’re very accommodating to our needs. He came home exhausted from a fun weekend playing! Will use them again in the future! Thank you so much!

Nathan is an absolute dog lover! He has grown up with dogs all his life. He currently owns a labradoodle named George. He is very responsible and passionate in the care of him. I've observed him playing with George and walking him daily. George gets alot of love and affection from him. George isn't just a dog to Nathan. He is his best friend and loyal companion. I would absolutely recommend Nathan to care for your pet any time!

We cannot thank Brooke enough for loving up on our girl while we were gone for a family medical emergency. A very stressful time in our lives was softened knowing our fur baby was in good hands and having a blast. Many updates and pictures which we loved and great communication. Highly recommend, we will book again!

Elizabeth is a natural when it comes to care of dogs. I tease her calling her the "dog whisperer"! I have watched her nurse back to health a very abused and neglected dog that had many special needs. The dog flourished after coming under the care of Elizabeth and her husband. The dog recently passed away and it left a big hole in their lives. Elizabeth has cared for our dog on many occasions and has even called and simply asked if our dog might come over for a couple hour visit. She is patient and compassionate. She also loves the outdoors and going on walks and has taken our dog for long walks. In her spare time I have observed her searching the internet looking at dogs. She will often comment to me that she has "fallen in love" with a dog. She seems to be drawn to all types of dogs but has a fondness for those with special needs. She is the first person I call when I need someone to watch my dog. I highly recommend Elizabeth as she is responsible and a loving pet caregiver.

This was the first time that we left our sweet puppy anywhere - let alone with a total stranger for several days! Grace is wonderful. She was kind, patient, and empathetic with both us & our dog. She listens well and is clearly devoted to providing great care. Her home is totally outfitted for dogs to be safe and comfortable. Thanks again Grace!

About: I have grown up with and taking care of dogs my whole like. I have experience in animals with special care needed. While in college and beyond, I had a diabetic cat who required insulin twice a day and extra care. Drop your dog off with me and I will treat them as if they are my own. They will have free reign of the house including couch and bed. I live in an area adjacent to green areas where you can walk in peace and are able to take care of your friends with seriousness, passion and love thanks to my decades of experience in contact with animals. Attention to their nutrition, hygiene and recreation will be complete.

We were very pleased with Michelle watching our dog Hopper. He had so much fun with her family and was very well taken care of. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter while we were away. Definitely calling Michelle again. Her dogs got along great with Hopper too, glad he has new friends. What a sweet family to know.

Tracy takes great care of our pup when we need help with overnight sitting, walks or visiting in our home when were at work. Our dog is always excited to see her and is so tired after the walks she takes him on! She is so caring and loving with our dog - I won't leave him with anyone other than Tracy!

Jodan was the perfect dog sitter. She accommodated a slight change in travel plans and was happy to finish out my pup's Rx. She was very responsive and kept me updated while I was away. My China gives her 4 paws and a tail up <3

I have been a friend of Natalie’s for a long time and believe me when I say she loves animals. She grew up taking care of all kinds of animals including dogs, pigs, horses, and cattle. I think this is where her love for animals comes from. She has sat my dogs on multiple occasions and every time they see Natalie, they are excited because she takes care of them. Anyone would feel comfortable with this responsible young woman taking care of their dog.

Amy is absolutely a wonderful sitter. She has several dogs of her own and a great area for the dogs to play and sleep. She makes sure the dogs get acquainted first before they play together. Lily had a wonderful time and we look forward using Amy’s services again!

Our 3 year old lab Luna seemed to have a great time with Colleen and her girls!! The girls were really sweet with her and entertained her a lot - she was so exhausted coming home!! We also got daily picture and video updates which was fun! When we first dropped off Luna we were nervous because she was not getting along with their dog Lina, but thankfully Colleen and her family did not force it and they actually brought Lina somewhere else for the week so that Luna could be “free” in the house which we really appreciated and know was probably hard for them!! If we are up in the area again without a sitter we would rebook. Thanks Colleen, and girls! :)
