“Chris was great with my dogs, Moose & Pac! He shared daily updates with photos, which was greatly appreciated! His fenced in backyard was a major plus for us, and his dog, bunker, was great with my large breed dogs. We will gladly be going back to Chris for any future dog sitting needs!!”


“Hudson (3.5) and Bentley (almost 4 months) had a wonderful stay with Lana! She spent time playing with them and walking them which made them very happy. I was a bit worried about leaving our puppy because he gets into everything but she kept a close eye on him and kept him busy! And we loved all the pictures and videos she sent every day 😊. Thank you Lana!!”


“During the time my Rocky spent with Vivian, she stayed in communication with me on a regular basis, and showed Rocky the same attention and affection that he would have received at home. Vivian is trustworthy, and my Rocky had a great stay with her. I highly recommend her dog sitting service.”



“My family and I are very happy with Kyle’s boarding services, he responded to any questions I had since it was my first time leaving my puppy for boarding service and I was nervous. Chloe had a great time and I will definitely book again in the future- I’ve also told my neighbors with puppies about Kyle. I highly recommend Kyle!”


About: I have two German Shepherds, one Belgian Malinois, one Shepsky, and this Jack Russell mix that completes this motley crew. I am a nurse who finds solace and stress relief in spending time with and caring for animals, especially dogs. I’d love to help you out with your pups if they need walks or playtime. I have cared for medically fragile dogs in the past and will follow your, or the vets, instructions as needed. I have over one acre of land for your dogs to play if they are to board in my home. I am home most of the time in the summer. If you have any questions, just ask! I’m a school nurse now, so I’m off during the summer months and holidays. I run errands sometimes during the day, or step out to walk dogs. I’m not gone for long. My schedule will change during the school year, but I will be home late afternoons and weekends. If I’m dropping in only, I’ll play with your pup and clean up any messes they’ve made or follow your instructions. If I’m taking them for a walk, I take a few minutes to get to know them if they haven’t met me before or play to say hi. Water bowls are cleaned and refilled before I leave. Big dogs subject to bloat - I let them calm down if panting after a walk before watering/feeding. If they’re in my home, they’re treated like royalty along with my pack. Introductions are done outside so that there’s no tension. Everyone is playing and the meeting is casual. I look to you for information on their personalities and care. I have an invisible fence for my dogs. If your dog is familiar and trained, I can provide a collar. I’m also experienced and trained with the e collar if that’s how your pup was trained. It will never be used as punishment.

“Koda had a great time!!! I felt confident that he was in good hands and he had a great time playing with Aleja and her family (both human and furry). He was one tired puppey when he came home. (This is a very good this since he is sooooo energetic it is hard to make sure he gets enough excited to wear him out). I totally recommend Aleja and would use her again in a heartbeat.”


About: We’ve had many dogs from small to large over the last 18 years. We’d love to take care of your pets so you can unwind and unplug. We are around most weekends over the summer to walk/ board your pets. During the week, we work full time but can stop in before and after work and before bed. We will treat your dog as one of our own. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed. We have a large fenced in backyard for exercise and play. Our 3 kids will tire out your pup. Unfortunately our daughter is allergic to cats so we can’t board them but we’d love to drop in to feed/ play with them.

About: Hello my name is Sarah. I am a mom of 3, and have 2 pups of my own in our family. Pets have always been a big part of my life since a very young age. They are so much more than pets, they are our family members. I am currently a full-time stay at home mother with ample time to help you and your family out while you are away, at work, or your pet is in need of a companion. I know how hard it is to leave your pets/family alone while you have to take care of every day life. I can travel to and from your house to care for your pet(s) as one of my own. My schedule is very flexible to accommodate any need you might have. I will make sure your pet is very well loved and happy from the time I get there until the time I leave. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your loved fur babies.

“I had an amazing experience with Alaine as my dog sitter. She was highly responsive, providing daily photos and a detailed "report card" summarizing Brizo's activities and well-being during the four-night stay. Alaine took exceptional care of Brizo, and her own dog, Pasta, was a wonderful host too. I highly recommend Alaine for her attentiveness, communication, and genuine love for animals. Brizo can't wait to visit again soon!”

I was extremely nervous to leave Koko, but I am so glad the I found Kristin and her family. I would definitely not hesitate to leave Koko there again!”


“Kim and Dean are absolutely amazing! They were in contact with us everyday giving us an update on our dog / sending pictures which was wonderful because we hate leaving our pup. We knew our dog was in great hands and will be using Kim and Dean again in the future!”


“Brian was fantastic! Great communication, easy drop-off and pick-up, and just overall incredibly kind. His dog Walker is such a sweetheart and was a wonderful companion for my pup while I was away. Highly recommend. I’d absolutely ask Brian to watch my dog again.”
