“This was a last minute booking and Sonja made it work! She is awesome and treats are two dogs so well! Her notes and texts make us feel so comfortable and give us a smile while we are gone.”


“Did a great job managing our house full of animals while we were away for two weeks. We came home to happy healthy animals, and I could tell they'd been well-cared for!”


“Tara is amazing! Tara stayed with our two puppies for 4 nights at our house. Tara is so kind and a great communicator. We got lots of pictures and updates. The puppies were so happy and well taken care of. Our dogs were for sure disappointed when their time with Tara ended.”



“Paul took great care of our two puppies while we were on vacation! He sent multiple updates daily with pictures, and they were extremely well cared for. We never had to worry about them, and we were able to enjoy our vacation! I would leave my pets with Paul anytime!!”


“Jeanne is AMAZING. We got home to happy dog, clean house, an awesome day by day journal, and near daily check ins (that we kept requesting and appreciating). Jeanne is an awesome communicator, kept our house in immaculate condition, and all was well during our vacation. We will 100% use her again and knowing we have a great sitter for Winnie makes me even more inclined to book a future vacation. 100% recommend.”


“Tegra was amazing with our quirky doggo. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Tegra provided updates and loved on our pup while we were away for almost two weeks. Upon returning home, we could tell puppers was anxiety free and our home was in excellent order. 1000% would use Tegra again.”



“There are no existing words to describe what a wonderful experience we had with Faith. Not only did she provide loving care to our pups but also to our home. It speaks volumes about her character. Thank you, Faith!”


“Joan stayed for 3 days with my dog Charlie at my house. She was timely, responsive and took excellent care of both my home and my dog. I would absolutely ask Joan to pet/house sit for me again. Charlie is an old guy who can have separation anxiety causing him to pee in the house. Joan did such a great job making him feel safe and happy.”


“Jax was phenomenal! Our pup can be a handful at times and she handled him so well. She took the time to not only take him out but to play with him and get him tired out. Not to mention our pup absolutely loves her. I will be booking with her again!”


“Heather was so sweet and understood our animals are our family. She sent pictures throughout her stay which really put my mind at ease. We will book Heather again for the future!!”


About: Taken care of high energy dogs for 10 years. Great with big dogs and ones with high energy. Also great at walking larger dogs and dogs with high exercise requirements Currently open at all hours and all days of the week due to waiting for other job offers. I am able to come any time any day. I will follow the advice given by the pet parents to a T and I will make sure to take care of there fluffy family members like a member of my own family.

About: I’ve grown up with big dogs my entire life. I’m not afraid of any dog and am willing to accommodate to any of their needs since both of my dogs currently require individual care for their medical needs! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pups!! Weekends I am also pretty free since I’m not in school currently and off for the summer! I have 2 dogs myself and I get up with them in the mornings, let them out, feed them, and play with them every morning. I usually then in the afternoon take them out again for an afternoon potty break and play with them outside again. Finally, around 5, I will feed both of them and take them on a nightly walk. I also love to cuddle with my dogs at home and give them lots of treats!!

“Thank you so much for watching Bowey! We truly appreciate you taking such good care of him! Also it was super helpful when our trip got extended and you were able to watch him a few extra days! We will definitely be in touch for future stays!”


About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life! First a Bichon Frise, then a German Shorthaired Pointer puppy who was like my little brother. After he passed away, my parents adopted another German Shorthaired Pointer puppy who I helped care for/train at visits. I also grew up around friends/family cats and dogs whom ranged from small to medium of different breeds. My boyfriend and I have 3 cats, 2 of them I raised since they were kittens. I love fuzzy animals in general (4 legged)! I get off work at 16:00 (4:00pm) Monday through Friday. I am available to walk/check in on your pet(s) after 16:00 (4:00pm) on week days except Thursday and anytime on the weekends. I am also available for weekend house sittings. As long as they let me, any fur baby I come across will be spoiled with love and cuddles. At home I brush my cats regularly along with cleaning their ears and eye boogies. I vacuum/fur remove the furniture, cat trees (3) and I carpet clean the litter matts. I am naturally an organizational clean freak with 4 1/2 years of hospital housekeeping experience.
