“Brianna took excellent care of our 5 dogs and 3 cats. We have a cat with litterbox issues and two of our dogs happened to be ill during this trip. She dealt with middle of the night potty breaks and cleaning up messes the whole time. I definitely recommend her and would request her again.”
“Madison was truly a lifesaver! She thankfully had availability day of care needed and she lived up to my expectations! She loved on my baby, took him on walks and even cuddled with my baby to make him feel extra loved! Couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter and even more thankful she was on fort drum!”

About: I have a 13 year old shitzu yorkie who has been with me since I was 9 and I trained him myself. I have a roomy place with lots of places for individual areas. I currently am taking a break from work and have plenty of time to care for your furry friend as needed! Full time availability and plants of room in my schedule for any hour care. I have a dog who can keep your furry friend company but have enough room to separate them if your dog or cat likes their own space!
“Our fur kids always love Eliza’s visits. She takes the BEST care of them and our home while we are away and takes special care of our medical special needs Frenchie as though he were her own. Truly cannot recommend her highly enough. She’s a true professional!”

“Katlynn was so great with our dogs. We added a puppy to our family last minute and she embraced it head on! Our dogs loved her and even watched her leave. I would trust her with my dogs any day of the week! She should be your go-to-gal for this area!”

“Jess was amazing! She sent us pictures of Griffy while we were away as well as text updates. She arrived early in the morning so that we could get on the road to travel to our daughter’s wedding. We cannot wait to book her again.”


“Dino was wonderful with our dogs and communication with us. Having never had anyone stay overnight with our dogs, Dino helped put our mind at ease, updating us multiple times through the day with pictures and videos Our dogs had a blast and were very well taken care of. Dino was very polite, punctual and our dogs have a new friend. We will definitely look for Dino for any future visits!”

About: We have three dogs who are more spoiled than our children. We dont like people, but we love animals 🤣. We love walking and playing, and so do our pups! Our babies are spoiled rotten and we can't help it. Our pups have their own doggie pool that they can use any time in the summer. We have tons of toys and one of our favorite things to do is just be home with them and de stress. We sometimes go to the dog park or take walks on the Black River Trail, too! We care for our own fur babies every day, having extra in the house is just an added bonus. Our animals are loved all day long, and we promise to deliver the same to yours. We have a large fully fenced in yard in a rural area, so we have lots of room for running! Our pups go in and out as often as they want. We do allow pets on the furniture, always! ***FOR FULL TRANSPARENCY *** We do require all dogs who are boarding in our home to eat and sleep in a crate, as well as be in their crate if we need to leave the house for any reason. This is strictly for safety reasons to keep all dogs and our children safe. We understand that not everyone is a fan of crating their dog, and we would never do so without consent. This is non negotiable. If you feel strongly your dog does not require needed a crate please reach out to me and we can talk as I do make very rare exceptions. If your pup shows behavioral issues that make it difficult to maintain safety, such as biting or excessive aggressiveness, we will add on an extra charge to the booking. This is almost never an issue, and we are able to separate dogs as needed. When staying in our home, your pups safety is always our number one priority.

“Angel was a literal Angel! She went above and beyond for our pups taking them on outings and even bathing them and getting them toys! She was very communicative and a joy to work with! She was born to work with Animals!”

About: From young age I've been responsible for many types of animals. I have experience with dogs and puppies, cats and kittens, cows and calfs, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, iguana, fish, frogs, turtles, salamanders, etc. I currently have one medium dog who lost his litter mate in December 2023. I'm a stay at home dog Mom. We both have lots of energy for walks and hikes. I live on a 1 mile dirt, seasonal, dead end road with lake frontage and massive yard for playing hide and seek in the trees and hunting squirrels. My dog is dog friendly, loves playmates. (No jealousy). In your home care would be provided to your pets as we would discuss with a meet & greet.
About: I’m experienced with dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens and ducks, horses and many other fur and feathered friends. Whether you need me to pop in for walks or stay at your place, I’m ready for walks, play, reenforcing training, and giving medications to your beloved pets. I work remote, so I can be available for visits with a flexible schedule or work from your place to ensure your animals get the attention they need. I can visit or stay depending on your pet care needs. If I am staying in your home to care for the pets, I will need wifi/internet access.
“Nicole is absolutely amazing!!! Took fantastic care of my Minnie girl, who had just come home from the hospital and been diagnosed with pancreatitis. My dog is active and Nicole kept her entertained all day while I was gone. I loved the picture updates. Nicole was a life saver and as a small business owner and a military spouse it can be difficult to find a doggy sitter. Our Minnie is our child and we our so grateful for Nicole, we will definitely be using her in the very near future. I highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies.”
