Scott was incredibly friendly and easy to book with. They took such great care of our husky Bolt and sent plenty of cute pictures and updates on our boy. They easily accommodated our schedule and had the cutest little pug that our husky loved. Bolt enjoyed his time and got to play and make friends with some adorable dogs, he even got a yummy treat to take home with him at the end. If you are in need of a an excellent sitter who clearly loves dogs and enjoys taking care of them, then we can’t recommend Scott enough! We will definitely be booking again!

We booked Samantha for a bath for Morgan last minute as our plans had changed. She did a great job and my bebe came home looking and smelling amazing! I would definitely use Samamtha again, although I'll book further in advance next time to make sure she's available!

Megan had a great time at Jessica’s. It was Megan’s first daycare experience and she didn’t even hesitate going in. Megan came home exhausted, which made for a nice relaxing evening. We will definitely be booking with Jessica again.

My dog had a great first daycare experience with Mackenzie and Anthony. He’s had issues with anxiety with sitters in the past, and did very well with them and their 2 dogs. I highly recommend.

Samantha is amazing! So are her pets! We booked last minute and she was so willing to work with us! She is very responsive, will get back to you quickly. She sends lots of videos and pictures throughout your pets day! Your pet will get plenty of exercise if you book with Samantha! We have already booked another week with her! My ONLY negative with her would be Ollie is definitely going to miss his friends! ☺️

Shaelea R. LOVES animals! If she sees one in need of care or abandoned, she will take it in. She saw a post of a man living in a car with 11 guinea pigs, needing a home for them, because he couldn't feed them anymore. She went and picked up all 11. She was able to safely rehome a few, she still has the rest, plus a few babies. Shaelea is very patient and caring. She has had a daycare business, in her home, for 9 years. The children and parents love her and feel safe leaving their children with her. Shaelea is very responsible and dependable. I highly recommend her!

Shae has been an exceptional friend and I know she’s a great dog owner as well. I don’t have personal experience with her watching my dog alone but play dates and hangouts are always a good time! Especially for the pups. You will not be disappointed in your service.

About: I have raised dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, and chickens my entire life. I currently have a Pug and a Boston Terrier, both puppies. I work from home and can provide day care, over nights, walks, pop-ins, etc. I am right down the street from Gateway so if you need a place to drop your animal off on your way to work downtown, I make a convenient drop off location. Very flexible with times. Air conditioning inside, large fully fenced backyard, and walks daily. 24/7 availability for pet care so long as we communicate in advance. I work from home and can be available based on your needs. I am available for drop off and pick up any time. There are a few times throughout the day where I will be driving my kids to and from events. We can communicate and work around those times. I also have a keypad. Animals are watched closely in the home and kept inside the fence in the backyard under supervision. When on walks animals are always on leash and are one on one with me. Separate food and water bowls are used. My yard is cleared of excrement daily. All animals must be up to date with shots and worming and flea/tick prevention.

I've known Courtney for years and she is a very responsible person. She loves animals and has lots of experience taking care of pets. You can trust her to love and play with them and make sure you know they're being cared for, which is what we as pet owners want, to know that our pets are in the best care when we can't be with them. I recommend her highly.
