“Meagan and her sweet daughter are spectacular! They took amazing care of our energetic dog, Betty. She sent daily updates with photos, followed Betty’s care info, and absolutely made Betty feel comfortable, loved and welcome into their home! Betty was exhausted after we picked her up, so I know she enjoyed her stay. We felt completely as ease knowing our dog was in such great hands for the week and will definitely be booking with Meagan again!”

“I think my Sam had a great time with Cynthia and family…and he was so lucky that Cynthia’s daughter was there with her little dog Reggie, so he had a playmate the whole time he was there (9days). Cynthia watered her plants outside and my Sam loves to be watered also. And with the very hot weather, he enjoyed it. Will be returning!”

About: Hi, I'm Emily! I'm not just a dog lover - I've been a dog mom to just about every size and personality. Over the years I've had a Chihuahua, Lab, Olde English Bulldog, American Staffordshire amd now we have an American Bully. I’m very comfortable with strong, energetic breeds as well as tiny lap dogs who think they run the house. We currently have an 80lb American Bully named Rosco. I particularly love the bully breeds - no judgment, just structure, play, and lots of affection. I know how to read body language for both a nervous 4lb Chihuahua and an 80lb Lab who thinks they’re a lap dog. I’ve cared for a dog who required a strict daily medication routine, so I am meticulous about timing, dosages, and watching for side effects. Pills, liquid meds, special feeding schedules - I’ve done it all and I take it seriously. My home is calm with a structured routine. My husband and I are early to bed and early to rise. I keep a clean but dog-proofed home with a predictable routine for potty breaks, walks, play, and rest. We walk in the mornings and sometimes again in the evening if the weather allows. I only book one client at a time so your pup(s) will get plenty of attention! It’s also important that your dog gets along with mine so I will schedule a meet and greet before we confirm. This helps ensure it’s a good match for everyone. I promise to send lots of updates, photos, and videos so you never worry. Your pup will be treated like family here - safe, loved, allowed on the couch and in the bed and very well cared for while you're away. I have a securely fenced yard and inside my home dogs have plenty of places to lounge, with dog beds, toys, and a quiet areas for naps. My home is non-smoking, no kids. We have one American Bully named Rosco. Rosco is neutered, two years old, about 80 lbs and loves other dogs. Rosco is a high energy dog who does best with dogs who are playful but also tolerant. Rosco also does great with smaller dogs and puppies. I am open to dogs over 40lbs but not more than 75lbs. I never leave dogs unattended without them being kenneled. I am home most of the day but utilize kennels when we’re gone for everyone’s safety. We follow a twice a day feeding schedule and I will gladly follow your instructions to the letter for feeding, crate time, and walks. I’m currently between jobs and have plenty of time for pet care. My husband works during the week and is around in the evenings and the weekends to help care for our pups. I have a fenced in yard a very friendly bulldog named Rosco to keep your pup company. I can also crate your pup if needed.

“Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!”

“Kelsey was FANTASTIC with Sadie. She took the time to get to know Sadie before bringing her into her home. She made sure that she knew everything that Sadie may need or if there are any concerns that I had. She also took Sadie last minute which was super great for me. During Sadie’s stay, she sent me multiple videos and pictures which really helped me feel at ease, leaving my pup in her care. She’s very communicative and let I know what Sadie was doing throughout the day and when she was going for walks and how much she was eating. Sadie was very tired after her stay and I know that she enjoyed hanging out with Kelsey and her pup. We will absolutely be using her again in the future.”

“Jessica is a terrific dog sitter. We rarely leave our dog, so when we do it is nice to feel comfortable leaving her with a trusted sitter. Our dog spent her weekend away from us playing with Jessica's dog and being treated like family. She is worn out from all of the fun she had. We will be using Jessica again!”

Smokey (our golden doodle) loved his stay at Jaden’s this weekend. We loved all the pictures and updates throughout the weekend to let us know how things were going. Going for a ride to get a pup cup is one of his favorite activities, sitting on your lap and cuddling even though he is bigger than a lap, highly recommending Jaden. Thank you for the wonderful weekend we didn’t have to worry what Smokey was doing!

Robbie and her family took great care of my pup while I was abroad for two weeks. My dog Pippa had an allergic reaction where the vet prescribed her a cone and medication right before I left. Robbie had no concerns over this last minute health change and gave me great confidence that Pippa would be well taken care of. She sent me many photos and videos while I was away of Pippa living life to the fullest. I am so glad I found her to take care of my dog.

Rebekah and her fur family took excellent care of our dog during our long vacation — she provided photos every day we were gone, and Bowie came back in high spirits and in perfect health! I think he’ll be counting down the days until he can come back to Rebekah’s house! Thanks so much again!

Hannah was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond for our pups!!! She was so responsive, constantly checking in with us, sending us photos, and doing whatever needed to be done to help our pups feel at home. One of our dogs is a bit anxious and Hannah was so patient and sweet and made her feel so safe and comfortable. She knows exactly what she’s doing and it was so great to know our dogs were in good hands while we were gone. She was so great and I know our dogs were her top priority and I am just so thankful!! I cannot recommend Hannah enough, we will definitely be booking with her again the next time we go out of town.

Kevin is simply the best! We have known him for two years and he does a wonderful job every time. He is the type of person that all dogs love and can relax around. Kevin’s communication before, during, and after stays is awesome; I’m able to relax and know things are going well while we’re away. I’d recommend Kevin to anyone and everyone!
