“Alyssa was the best sitter I could’ve asked for! I have an anxious pup that doesn’t like being left alone and she ensured he was comfortable during his whole stay. She sent me plenty of updates with pictures and videos and made me feel comfortable the whole stay. She treated Bandit like one of her own and he had a great time playing, cuddling, and sleeping with her! She even took him for a car ride with a pup cup for a treat. Highly recommend!”
“Stewart was able to accommodate us last minute for a few hours of doggie daycare while we met up with old high school friends in Ottuma. Stewart and his dog, Sophie were both great. Stewart sent pictures and had a large fenced back yard and a lot of toys for Maddie to play with. Callie felt at home and cuddles on Stewart with Sophie while Maddie napped among the toys LOL. THANK YOU Stewart for making us feel comfortable and taking great care of our babies.”
“I seriously cannot recommend her enough! I was absolutely amazed by how well my dog adapted to her and loved her!! She is so sweet and an amazing person all around! Book her now!”
“Ali was so great with our dog! She was flexible and easy to work with and made sure she knew a lot about our dog’s routines before our trip. We loved knowing he was being well taken care of while we were gone! We would highly recommend her and plan to check with her again the next time we’re gone! You and your pets will love her too!”
About: I worked at a Vet Clinic for five years where I worked with dogs of all ages. My specialty was senior dogs. I consider myself patient and loving. I’m currently in between being done with my masters degree and looking for a new job with my degree. I’m taking a break between now and then so I have plenty of time to provide services ! I have one dog who is very friendly to other animals. I have one cat who is very independent and will not be a bother to any other friends.
About: I’ve had dozens of people rely on me in the past to care for their dogs - walking, dog park, baths, feed - I’ll do it all! I currently work full time from the comfort of my home with my 6 little loves. I’m available mornings & evenings for drop ins but can do mid day as well! My go-to is taking pups to the dog park whether that’s alone or with friends to let them explore and have fun! We enjoy the outdoors so our pups love hiking, swimming, and playing fetch!!
About: I’ve had a lot of animals in my life, my current dog I’ve had for 12 years. I love spending time with animals and caring for them. I seem to just know what they need and I’m happy to be of warm and caring service. I work remotely and my dog goes pretty much everywhere with me unless it’s too hot or cold in the car. I have a lot of down time and prefer to spend it walking with the dogs, playing with toys in my house or snuggling up on the couch or floor and rubbing some belly’s haha. Dog people are my people and we just get along. If you have a dog and you need someone who you can trust to treat your fur baby like family, I’m your gal! I work remotely, so I am available throughout the day and very aware of animal needs and can tend to them quickly. We are a pack, we stay together and we enjoy that. I care for them just like I would my own dog, we play throughout the day, he eats well, sun bathes when it’s warm and we go for 2 walks or runs per day.
About: My husband and I have 8 Huskies that we have rescued. I have a ton of patience and lots of love. Your dog will be considered as part of our pack. I will be the one taking care of your baby. I work at a hospital 4 days a week. Our dogs are kenneled for their safety while I'm at work. They are fed twice a day (morning and night) and walked 2 miles a day We do not have a fenced in yard, but we do have tie outs so your dog will be safe. They are allowed on the furniture and we have a full basket of bones and toys to share.

Sara R.
“Sara is a gentle soul, who is just as sweet and thoughtful with people as she is with animals. I’ve seen her with her own doggie, and they have such an adorable connection. I would completely trust her with any pet if I had my own!”
Tammy & Ken F.
“I have had two high maintenance and loveable huskies which made me very concerned about leaving them with a less experienced animal care provider. After seeing Tammy love and care for her own dogs (a variety inclyding huskies) I knew she was the right choice for us. I was very happy that ahe kept me updated with photos of them and their activities each day. When I returned to get them they were exhausted from all the play and I could tell my dogs lived being there. We now call her place our dog vacation resort. I still have a husky and now a small sichon. I have full trust that while I am on my 10 day vacation, my dogs will be safe, loved, we'll cater for and socialized.”
