Marwa was great with our rescue corgi. We were apprehensive about leaving our dog with a sitter so soon after adopting her, but as soon as we met Marwa our anxieties were eased. She was great about providing us photos, videos, and updates about our sweet girl. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again for our pet sitting needs.

We just moved to the area and were worried about finding a new dog sitting/boarding place for our pup Baxter. We lucked out finding Todd and Bill and cannot recommend them enough! While I was away they updated me with photos and videos. I felt completely comfortable when I met them and brought Baxter to their home. Baxter is a little dog and a rescue so he can have a tough time with adjusting but he loved Todd & Bill's and can't wait to go back!

Kaitlin and Verle took great care of Clover again! When Clover arrived at their house for this stay, she was SO excited to see them and ran inside to play immediately. She didn’t even look back at us when we left. We’re so happy and reassured by how much she loves staying with them. Kaitlin and Verle were very communicative and flexible also. We have already booked Clover’s next stay with them for our next trip.

Mark and his son were really awesome with our dog, Thor. We booked a 10 day stay, and Mark provided consistent updates on how Thor was doing. They walked him regularly and played with him often, and they have a great home with a back yard Thor could enjoy. I felt comfortable and confident leaving my fur baby with them!

My dog, Cosmo, is always thrilled when he realizes we’re going to Jason’s house! It’s obvious that Jason and his family are experienced with dogs and truly love them, plus Jason is a great communicator and I can always count on pics and updates on Cosmo’s antics while I’m away. Thanks for another great stay, Jason!

About: I am a dog-lover with my whole life of experience in caring for dogs! I have had them in all shapes and sizes - my first two dogs being big German Shepherds to my last dog which was a little Maltipoo, and a few in between. I have potty trained quite a few dogs in my life, as well as helped them through their senior years. Most important of all, I will love your pets like they're my own children! I only accept one doggie family at a time, so your dog(s) will be the only ones here for boarding and doggie day care. I'm currently working part time from home so I have plenty of availability to take your pup outside for potty breaks or walks and give them attention throughout the day. I have a safe, fenced yard with plenty of room for sniffing and sunshine. I also have senior dog care items like a step to get on the couch. I have a long gate that can be made into a pen, and a cage for a small dog, if requested. Pets are family here - I have always allowed my own pets on the couch or bed and will do the same for yours unless you prefer otherwise.

We had a fantastic experience from start to finish. From the initial meet and greet, they were warm, professional, and took the time to really understand our dog’s needs, routines, and quirks. Communication was excellent throughout—clear expectations upfront and consistent updates during the overnight stay, which gave us real peace of mind. Their space is clean, safe, and very dog-friendly, with plenty of room for the dogs to relax and play. It was clear they prioritize the well-being of every dog in their care, paying close attention to behavior, comfort, and individual needs. We especially appreciated how attentive and patient they were, making sure our dog felt at ease in a new environment. They also went above and beyond with thoughtful touches like photos and updates, and were very responsive to any questions we had. You can tell they genuinely care about animals and treat them like their own. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter.

So grateful to Ilsa for taking such great care of Leo while we were gone for 3 weeks. We arranged a half day trial before the trip to make sure it was a good fit and he would get along with her other pets and Ilsa was super communicative. While on our trip, she truly treated him like her own and sent us photos and updates throughout the time he was with her. She is someone who is so loving and knowledgeable with pets and I highly recommend her!

Jason did such an amazing job taking care of Hoshi! This was her first time staying with someone for an entire weekend, and I honestly had no worries at all. He made her feel comfortable, kept me updated, and treated her like she was part of the family. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. I would absolutely trust Jason with Hoshi again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Sabrina and her husband were amazing! They watched my two dogs and my brother’s dog during his wedding weekend. They were super accommodating and my shy dogs were quickly comfortable with both of them! They were very communicative and flexible during our dog’s stay, our minds were at ease during a busy weekend. We highly recommend them and are so thankful our dogs stayed the weekend with them!

This was my first time boarding my dog Teddy not with friends or family. It was great while traveling to be reassured that Teddy would have dog and people friends around. I could tell he was taken care of and well loved since he slept the rest of the day once we got home. I’m sure he didn’t want to miss out on any of the fun!
