“Theresa was wonderful! It was our first time leaving our puppy for vacation but she made us feel at ease and kept us very updated. She sent pictures of him and let us know everything that was going on. She is a very kind and caring person and I know our puppy got lots of love while he was there. I would definitely recommend Theresa!”
“Dominic was very sweet and caring towards our little Marlow! He provided lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay which calmed our nerves. I would definitely board our dog with him again.”
“Tanya was great! We had a meet and greet prior to the booking day, and Tanya's home and yard were perfect for Cooper to run and play. Due to unforeseen circumstances we did not end up coming on the day scheduled, but I would use Tanya again in a heartbeat and hope to do that the next time I'm in town.”
“Caitlin was absolutely amazing! I was very nervous to have my dog staying somewhere I didn't know, especially because he's never been anywhere away from me for longer than a day. She was very quick to respond to my check in messages, which were quite frequent because I was so worried. She sent photo updates. She even clipped his nails for me! If I'm in need of her services again, I would definitely rebook. 10/10 recommend to anyone else!”
“Jen and her family are terrific. They treat my dog as if she was part of their family. I am lucky to have found her. I highly recommend her as an outstanding dog sitter.”
About: I've been a dog owner for 20 years. Over the last 10 years, friends, family and neighbors have entrusted me with taking care of their dogs. 2 years ago, I took on the venture of fostering dogs in my home. My experience with them has been with puppies through adult dogs. Special needs dogs are welcome too, as I have experience with dogs with seizure disorder and other chronic issues. During the time the foster dogs are in my care, I work to establish a routine, learn basic commands and household manners. I work from home Monday-Friday. My pets (and fosters) stay in my office with me when I working. I am able to care for your pets during my breaks, lunchtime and after hours. My weekends can be a bit more busy, but I can be flexible in working with your needs. I have a small fenced in yard for the dogs to stretch their legs, enjoy the outdoors, and of course relieve themselves. Indoors, I do have crates available if your dogs needs some alone, quiet time. My dogs have their own room to offer a safe space for them. The dogs are never left unattended to ensure they don't get into something they are not suppose to. If watching the dog in your home, I will follow any instructions that you give to ensure your dog's safety and happiness.
“If I could give Jacqueline 10 stars I would!!! She took AMAZING care of our Blaikey during her stay with her and her awesome family. She was sweet, attentive, loving, affectionate, and accommodating to our sweet little girl. Her daughter was amazing with Blaikey and so gentle and kind with her. She sent pictures and updates every day and went out of her way to make sure Blaikey was comfortable and felt safe and secure in their home. Their dog Mocha was a wonderful friend to our dog and so sweet to her. They really loved each other 🥰. I will absolutely utilize Jacqueline again to watch our dog and recommend her to everyone!! She is amazing and will treat your dog like family because to her- they are!!!!😁🥰♥️”
