“I can't say enough about how wonderful Mark and Vicky were with our pups. Every day of our vacation we received pics And updates on how they were doing. Even giving extra attention two some medical issues that my one pup has. These people are very nice and genuinely care about dogs. I would definitely use them again. I can also easily see that my dogs really liked them. That was important to me And comforting to me while we were away. Thank you so much Mark and Vicky, you guys are awesome!”
“Stephanie is wonderful!! She was thoughtful from our first conversation all the way through our boy’s stay. Excellent communication- She sent us lots of updates and pictures. Definitely highly recommend!!”
“This was the longest we've ever left our pup with some else and we were nervous but Jenny did a great job. She sent us updates almost daily and photos. She'd check with me before giving our pup a snack she hadn't had before to make sure I was okay with it.”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old, so you could say it's in my blood. Over the years, I've learned so much about their different personalities and needs. One of the most special dogs in my life was my own, who lived to the incredible age of 18. He was a constant companion and taught me so much about loyalty and love. That experience really shaped my approach to dog care, making me extra attentive and dedicated to their well-being. I also have experience with cats and rabbits as well. I usually work my other job in the mornings, but I can be flexible to fit your schedule. Let me know what times work best for you, and I'll do my best to accommodate! Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I always make sure they have a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I follow their regular feeding and exercise routines, and I'm always attentive to their individual needs and quirks. Lots of playtime, cuddles, and positive reinforcement are definitely part of the deal!
“My original sitter canceled the morning before my trip. I was frantically trying to find a new sitter and Kathleen let me book quickly without hesitation. I am so thankful for that! I recieved messages and pictures while away and I could tell Myles had a great time and was well taken care of. Thanks again!!”
About: I've had dogs all my life, ranging in age from just born (my childhood dog had puppies) to end of life with many medications. My current princess doggy finds other doggies beneath her notice, which also means she won't bother them. My youngest son is 15 and loves dogs - he will be doing most of the playing with and feeding doggie guests. He has also had dogs all his life, and his preveterinary student sister on speed-dial. I work remotely so I'm home all day for during the day care and pets. My son is in high school and marching band so most of the vigorous play and walks will be outside of those times. I have a fenced in yard with a doggy door for easy of potty breaks. The doggy door leads into the dining room / kitchen area that can be closed off, keeping young or elderly puppers on an easy-to-clean floor. If your doggy has a crate or bed that they are accustomed to, bring that and we'll set it up for them in that space. If your pup wants company overnight, they can snuggle with my son.
“We loved Vicki and her husband and so did Rudy! He ran off with her as soon as we got there and that was enough to put me at ease. He had a wonderful time and they treated him as their own. She sent pics during his stay and was in touch often, which I appreciated so much! Her home is lovely and we will 100% be bringing Rudy back for future stays! :)”
“Aimee does a superb job with my dogs. They are older and sometimes need special care-meds etc and she is quick to accommodate those needs. Very communicative and wonderful dog sitter!! Highly recommended. Thank you. 😊”
“Janine is one of the best!! Very loving, caring, and protective of your dog. Her dog, Andy, is also so sweet and loving to other dogs. I definitely will use her again!”
“Kylie did a fantastic job with our Golden Retriever. She sent us multiple pictures every day, bathed him before we picked him up, and sent him home with a new toy. She is wonderful and kind, and we would definitely use her again!”
“The dogs were very happy and well taken care of. I scheduled a day so the dogs could get to know them and feel comfortable before our vacation. They seemed comfortable and happy when we came to get them. We are definitely using Darlene again.”
“Our dog Petey had an amazing time obviously as though he was delighted to see us on our pick up he Was the happiest boy on a pick up ever. We’ve had to leave him for short trips on numerous occasions but this first visit with Tiffany proved we will only consider her for our future needs. She was attentive to my texts and sent pics to keep us posted on his stay. The most wonderful experience!”
“This was Stitch's first time staying somewhere that was not my home or my parents. He seemed to have a great time. Heather was great giving updates and sending photos while we were on vacation. They also accommodated as Stitch is an 8 year old boxer that does not like to be bothered by puppies or extremely energetic dogs. They ensured us he would be the only dog staying there. As soon as we walked in the kiddos stayed seated and waited for Stitch to go say hi to them and were very well behaved. Even with extreme anxiety both the dog and owner Heather helped us to get through our first trip away from one another.”
“Nathan and Jenna we're great. The dogs got 24/7 attention and love from them, the other dogs and the kids. We'll be called them up again for the next time we need a sitter.”
“Bruno stayed with Steffani for 7 nights and she was great at communicating updates about Bruno as well as making sure he got what he needed which was a lot of exercise!!! What I also loved was when he got back he didn't have any new habits that we needed to retrain against. He just came back tired..5 stars!!!”
“Ramona is amazing. We recently moved to OH and needed a sitter for our golden doodle. Ramona was wonderful and our dog was happy during her 5 day stay- her home is beautiful and her yard is fenced- we will definitely book Ramona again.”
“I was really happy with the care Enzo received from Alexandra. I got up many updates and pictures throughout his stay which made me feel at peace. She was also very helpful in setting a drop off and pick up time when I needed one last minute. Enzo came back happy and fulfilled after playing with her dogs.”
