“Once again, Tommy has been cared for by Kathy and Graham so well that we never have to worry when we are away. It's obvious that he remembers and loves them. He enjoys his walks, cuddles and special treats!. The pictures we receive make us smile as well.”
“Anna and Christian were wonderful watching my pug Jasmine for a full week! They sent photos and recaps of her activity daily and were incredibly responsive. Highly recommend them to watch your pup!”
“Clara is really patient with pets, and truly understands a pet parent’s concerns. My cat Spin was very shy in the first two days of boarding. But Clara helped him to calm down and got him comfortable around a new environment so quickly that I was completely surprised. She also shared me pictures and videos about Spin’s stay on a daily base, which greatly helped me to travel with ease of mind. Would definitely rebook Clara next time when I need to travel!”
“Lucinda was so sweet and sent amazing updates on our cat while we were on vacation! Our cat obviously loved Lucinda, evidenced by the purrs and head rubs before we took her home! I appreciated Lucinda’s attentiveness and care with my fur baby and will definitely be booking for all our pet sitting needs!”
“Aspen is an amazing dog sitter! She made sure to carefully follow instructions and she made me and my dog feel very comfortable with our time away from home. Excellent communication, all around wonderful! Would definitely recommend and will be returning in the future.”
“Anastasia took very good care of our 9 month old pug! He loved playing with the dogs and had a great time! He shared pictures with us while he was there and she was fast to respond to any questions we had! We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Karlee was an amazing sitter! She took excellent care of my pup and sent lots of pictures throughout the weekend. She was very communicative and did such a great job with Topo!”
“Ashya has a lovely home and a nice tieout out back. She sent pictures which we appreciated. She is friendly and enthusiastic and our dog had a great time. We will definitely use her again if we go out of town.”
“We took our little dog to Mariia for the first time. She kept in touch to let us know how she was doing, and we were very happy with the way she cared for her. We will be using her again!”
“Lydia and Kieran were excellent hosts for my puppy. They agreed to watch him last-minute when I needed to find a dog sitter, and they kept me updated on how he was doing (and even sent me pictures of him!) while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“I have no worries when I leave my dog with Roselie and Kevin. I'm a RN who works 3er shift and sometimes I am not awake when I have to pick my dog up and these lovely people are so flexible with the time, that I feel blessed I found them. My dog had found a second home and new friends. Thanks Roselie and Kevin.”
“Taylor took such great care of my little Lola. Her home is so dog friendly, and she has a nice big fenced in back yard for the dogs to run around. I am so happy I found someone I can trust when I travel and can't take Lola with me.”
“Our Havanese enjoyed his time with Anne! She was communicative with drop off/pickup and providing us updates. She bonded with our dog over the weekend he boarded with her. Taking him out for 4 walks, a pupcone at Starbucks and treats/meals we had provided - she was an ideal petsitter. We would definitely use her again if the opportunity comes up.”
“Took great care of my pup while I dealt with a busy day. Was very communicative with updating me on how she was doing. Even returned her with a new toy and clipped nails. Highly recommend!”
About: I have my own puppy and I love her more than words can explain. She is the light of my life and my favorite person I am currently working part time at as a ICU Registered Nurse, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your dogs, pups or cats I have an apartment that’s close to a walking trail and a dog park. Daily walks will be extra fun and I also have a dog they can play with
“Brendan & Sarah were absolutely fabulous! They treated my pup like their own and sent me updates and pictures…i am so sad I found them at the end of my time in Cleveland because i definitely would have been using them regularly!”
About: **Serious Inquiries Only *** With over 10 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I have developed a deep understanding and passion for working with small dog breeds and puppies. Throughout my career, I’ve been dedicated to providing top-tier care for both puppies and adult small breeds, helping them thrive in loving, healthy environments. I have worked extensively with a variety of small dog breeds, including Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Yorkies, Shih Tzus, and Dachshunds. My experience spans everything from basic pet care and feeding to behavior management, training, and health monitoring. I specialize in the unique needs of small dogs, including their dietary requirements, exercise routines, and socialization skills. My approach is centered around building trust and positive relationships with the pets in my care. With puppies, I focus on early socialization, potty training, and establishing consistent routines to set them up for a well-adjusted adulthood. With adult small dogs, I work on maintaining good health, managing behavioral issues, and fostering strong bonds between pet and owner. I’m particularly passionate about understanding the individual personalities of each dog, ensuring they receive personalized care that meets their specific needs. My extensive background in pet care has allowed me to not only enhance the lives of the dogs I care for but also provide valuable advice and support to their owners, helping them navigate the joys and challenges of dog ownership. I am dedicated to provide my full attention to your pup throughout their entire stay! If it’s boarding or just a fun day at doggy day camp I can ensure your pup will have a great time! I have a fenced in back yard , plenty of toys and activities to keep your pup busy! My home has central air conditioning for hot summer days . I also have a small male shitzu to keep your pup company during their stay .
“Great match for us!!! She was waiting for us when I arrived, super nice, replied to my messages right away and sent pictures of Luna (my dog) throughout her stay! Luna will definitely stay again with Martha! I could tell right away Martha knew what she was doing. She walked Luna around outside before she brought her in! Very impressive! I would have never thought to do that!”
“Rex had such a good time at Tara’s. She sent us lots of pictures and videos throughout the week. We booked very last minute and they were able to accommodate us and made things easy. Thank you!”
“AMAZING!!! I wish I could give more stars. Pam and her son made KJ feel welcomed and made me comfortable. The entire experience was great! I even feel like KJ misses them. I will forever be a returning customer. I’ve already told all of my family and friends how amazing, caring, sweet, and loving they were.”
