“Thanks Tara for taking such good care of York! He learned how to have some fun and enjoy himself with new friends. It’s so nice to know I can go out of town and know he is taken care of!”


2. Emily C.

“Jack told me he really enjoyed his stay with Emily. It was very easy to book, and the communication was excellent. She took very good care of him. He told me he wants to go back and visit soon. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter, and I will use her again.”


3. MELINDA A.


“Anyone who uses Melinda will find her to be a very caring, loving, compassionate person when it comes to watching your pet. After having Melinda watch Kayda I will not have anyone else watch her. In fact I'm travelling next week and she is booked so I decided to take Kayda with me. Had Melinda been available I would have utilized her again. Both Kayda and I are extremely pleased with Melinda and Rover.”

“Jasmine had a wonderful time staying with Julia. I appreciate that she treated her like family and cared for her. I will definitely use her services again if she would be available and would be willing. I think Jasmine misses her playmate!”


5. Bonnie M.

“Great Sitter. My Archie loves her. He gets all the attention, and loves her Couch and her small pool. This is great.”


6. Neil U.

“Very happy with Neil. He let me meet him with my dog before the scheduled stay to make sure she was okay with his dog. This made me feel very comfortable and assured for the scheduled stay, especially after seeing how she was completely comfortable with him and his dog. He was very communicative with me which I greatly appreciated. I love that he sent daily updates with pictures of her which let me know she was being well taken care of and enjoying herself. I plan on booking with him in the future again.”


7. Mackenzie L.

“Mackenzie was great! Our dog Aurora seemed to have a great time, and did not want to leave when we arrived to pick her up. She sent multiple pictures every night and gave updates every night on how she was doing. Would 100% recommend Mackenzie to anyone looking for a place for their dog to stay! Thank you”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I also have experience working with exotic animals such as kangaroos and camels. Anything a dog may need I’m happy to give. Dogs are like family, I consider mine my children. I currently work at a safari park and own a horse boarding facility. So I will be available to provide for the dogs almost all day. And when I’m not there they’ll have a large fenced backyard to enjoy. I have a well fenced in back yard with shelter from the elements. If the need arises they will be brought in to either my home or the barn for their safety.
