“Marie has been amazing all along, she is very experienced with dogs. I can tell my golden had a good time! She sent us pictures and videos daily and took very good care of our house and plants. We definitively recommend her.”

“It was a pleasure to meet Neonica and have her in our home. She was able to entertain Sully for two hours outside giving him lots of exercise. I enjoyed the video she shared and a follow up picture of a very tired puppy. Already looking forward to having her back.”

About: I have grown up with animals all my life from dogs and cats to reptiles and amphibians! Ever since I was a kid I have been obsessed with dogs and the amazing things they can be trained to do! I pride myself in my understanding on dogs body language and understanding how their minds work! I do currently work full time but I am looking to fill my free time with something I love and that’s spending time with animals! Well I can’t not provide day care or overnight in my home as I don’t live alone, I have a friendly fur baby of my own who loves meeting new friends on walks. I promise to respect your dogs daily routine and rules as I would expect someone watching my dog to do the same as to keep structure in your pets life well you are away as your absence can be stressful to your pet on its own.
“Holly did a fantastic job. It made my vacation so much more enjoyable knowing my dogs were well cared for. Communication was very good before and while we were away. She sent me lots of pictures and videos. I could tell the dogs really liked her. All 3 of my dogs, 2 Newfies and a Border Collie cross, were happy and not at all stressed when I got home. I'm sure they are wondering where their new friend Holly is to give them lots of attention. The house was clean and all looked good. I would highly recommend Holly to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

About: I have had a dog for my entire life, I have owned 3 boxers, and now have a boxer/cane corso/mastiff, who gets treated like one of our kids! I am willing to go above and beyond for dogs as they have my heart. I am willing to take the dog out for walks/runs no matter the time of day. Caring for dogs are a huge responsibility especially when they are not yours, and I want to make customers feel as comfortable as possible leaving their furry little friend with me, while they are busy knowing the dogs have a good, safe and healthy day. I want the dogs to feel comfortable around me, as I would be around them. I am currently in transition to hopefully making this my full time gig! I will make my schedule as open as possible to start, and will continue to add more availability! I have a fenced yard, and when visiting the pets homes I will make sure there is nothing left out to which the pet can get, when walking I will ensure their safety
“Emma was great! Took care of our 2 bulldogs and 2 cats for a week while we were on vacation. Dogs loved her, she sent pictures and kept the house in order. Felt secure and safe with her watching over the house and dogs. This is our 2nd time using her, and she is worth every penny! ❤️ Thanks Emma 🙏🫶 Will definitely use ONLY her every time we have to go away. 💕”

“Maia was kind enough to come to a meet and greet visit days before the sitting job. I enjoyed our time chatting and getting to know a bit about her. I felt really good about leaving Sully with her. During the actual sitting job, she had planned many activities to help keep my high energy puppy busy. We know that they went for walks, played ball and much more as he was tired out! And that was a good thing! Looking forward to a repeat visit. Thanks Maia for taking such good care of Sully.”

“Marisa and her little guy Maverick were amazing, I had complete peace of mind being out of town while they stayed at the house with my 3 fur babies. I highly recommend!”
