“Darcie and her girls are the absolute best! Highly recommend! I think our boys are actually sad when we come to take them home because they love being with Darcie so much ❤️😄”
“Heather was fantastic in caring for our dog! She sent lots of pics and videos of him playing at the park and hanging out with his pals. We really appreciate the care she provided and I know our dog was happy too!”
“I feel so grateful that I found someone like Genna to watch my English Setter. He plays beautifully with her dog and is treated like part of their family. She gives him the love and care that gives me peace of mind when he's with her. The huge, fenced in backyard is another plus.The photographs and video she sends on a regular basis make me smile. I highly recommend Genna to anyone looking for an outstanding sitter for their dog!”
“Kathleen took great care of Poppy. She gave him tons of walks and love and even introduced him to her friends. She went above and beyond feeding Poppy healthy food that she purchased herself. Kathleen sent Poppy home clean after giving him a bath. None of this was requested. This shows the love she pours into the animals she cares for. A++.”
“Carol was organized and asked a lot of great questions to ensure my dog was comfortable and happy. I am embarrassed to admit that my dog panicked at the meet and greet and immediately went to the bathroom in her house. She just had been mostly cooped up during the pandemic and a new house with new people just freaked her out. I was surprised Carol was still willing to watch her, but she took all this in stride. I could tell my dog was bonding with her throughout the week. I highly recommend this understanding and thoughtful sitter! I know she's going to be my first choice from now on.”
“Anna-Lena is the person you can absolutely feel safe and comfortable having your best friend stay with her! She was incredibly helpful with watching over my dog by having great communication, greeting the dogs and keeping me up to date with pictures and little notes on the stay! I know my dog enjoyed herself and I was able to enjoy myself knowing my dog was with someone that takes safety, security, and also fun into staying with her! She will always be my first choice whenever help is needed again!”
“Andrea and our dog, Milo, became best buddies immediately, and spent 3 lovely days together. Andrea gave Milo personal care and attenyion,kept in communication with us, and shared pictures of Milo enjoying his new home away from home. We will definitely ask for Andrea's availability the next time we need to be away from home.”
“Layla had a great time at Katelyn’s! I can tell she felt welcome and comfortable and loved. They have a beautiful home in a great area with a perfect backyard for dogs. She enjoyed playing with the family dogs so much! Katelyn also sent a baggie of treats with a sweet note home with Layla. Nice touch! I highly recommend this sweet family for your doggie care needs.”
“Emily did a great job caring for our dog while we were on vacation for a week! She sent pictures and updates daily and was very easy to communicate with. She treated our dog like one of her own, even letting him sleep in her bed when he didn’t want to sleep in his kennel! We would definitely use Emily again!”
“Our dog, Tilly, had a blast with Erica and Cora. She’s currently exhausted-reminds me of a teenager home from a slumber party when there was no sleeping ? will definitely ask again!”

Corinna was attentive to all of Max’s special needs, she was very accommodating & had a wonderful set-up for Max to feel comfortable. She also had excellent communication skills, providing many photos & updates throughout his stay. I highly recommend Corinna. A++”
“Shalom was very well taken care of, she was comfortable and happy when we came to get her. She even seemed to have gained a little weight which we've been trying to get her to do for awhile now! Terry was very kind and polite and we'd gladly take Shalom back to him to be watched whenever we need!”
About: On top of being a veterinary assistant for over three years, I have also taken care of pets of my own and family and friends' since I was very young. I began working at the humane society at 14 and haven't stopped working with animals since! I have a B.S in Animal Ecology, and am currently working towards becoming a Registered Veterinary Technician. I currently work full-time at a veterinary hospital with weekends free. I never work past 6:30pm and never go in before 7am. Once a week I am off at 2pm, and another day I do not go in until 12pm. This provides me a flexible schedule to take care of your furry kiddos! I have a large yard that will be fully fenced in by the end of the summer, and a very friendly dog myself who loves to make new friends. I also have very tolerant cats that adapt to new friends as well! I have a spare room and crate available if needed. I have my own nail trimming supplies and transportation for myself and even for your fur baby if needed!
“Joe was really great with my dog who has separation anxiety. He took the time to let her get comfortable and trust him. He also checked in throughout, which gave us peace of mind!”
“She was absolutely amazing with my dogs. She sent pictures periodically through the day and you could tell the dogs were having so much fun! I’ll definitely be using her again and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone else.”
