“They take such good care of our little Looney Tune. She’s always pooped when she gets home so we know she’s getting plenty of play and attention! We especially appreciate the flexibility and understanding from Genna and family when we had an issue with our return travel!”

“Heather was amazing! 10/10 would book her again!! She sent updates about our dogs everyday and included photos! She treated our dogs like they were a part of her family. Heather had great communication, even before booking, and allowed two meet and greets so that we felt comfortable. Her dog, Zephyr, was also a 10/10! Our boys got along with him so well, Heather did a great job raising him. She was also very adaptable, our flights changed last minute and Heather was still able to accommodate us. If we ever need someone to watch our dogs, we are definitely coming back to Heather and Zephyr!”

“Hi, I’m Luna 🐾—10/10 stay! I played with my BFF Stella, bravely antagonized Thor, and successfully liberated one sock, one shoe, and one of Thor’s toys (a perfect haul). I had so much fun I almost forgot to go home!”


“Corinna did a terrific job with caring for Rizzo and keeping us aware of how he was doing with text and pictures. We would definitely use her services again and would recommend her to others.”

“Carol was great with our dogs! She was very attentive and accommodating for our dogs specific needs. Was very reliable and always prompt with responding. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Emily did a great job caring for our dog while we were on vacation for a week! She sent pictures and updates daily and was very easy to communicate with. She treated our dog like one of her own, even letting him sleep in her bed when he didn’t want to sleep in his kennel! We would definitely use Emily again!”

“Joe was really great with my dog who has separation anxiety. He took the time to let her get comfortable and trust him. He also checked in throughout, which gave us peace of mind!”
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs since an early age. I’ve cared for my own pets and those of friends and family. I work from home Monday through Friday, so I’m able to be with your fur babies all day. Weekends are for fun and time outside walking and socializing. I live in an apartment with a fair amount of green space and a paved pond area for daily walks. I’m also conveniently located next to a dog park as well! I have two sweet kitties to keep your babies company throughout the day too.
“Jake was great with Dexter. He responded quickly and maintained great communication. He was also very flexible with my hours of availability. Dexter enjoyed his time with Jake and seemed very happy. I would definitely bring him back.”
“Wonderful experience! In our family, I'm the one who stresses about where the dog is going to stay, who will watch him, and who will put up with a few quirks the dog has developed (doesnt like ceiling fans, windshield wipers, dogs on TV etc.) Erica took it all in stride. Communicated well. Sent pictures and treated him so well. It made our vacation so nice. It is clear she is very experienced at taking care of furry family members.”

“Luna had a great time at Terry’s with his other pups. It was nice to know she was in good hands and good company while we were out town. I will gladly have Terry watch her again next time we need someone!”

“Mary is literally the best pup sitter. She takes such care of our pup like he is her own. You can tell her heart belongs to the dogs she sits for by how she takes care of them. You won't be sorry for choosing Mary.”

About: Senior care experience! I've adopted multiple dogs at 10+ yrs old from the local pounds and made sure they had the best senior care experience possible. I currently have 2 dogs, both spayed and absolutely love other dogs. A Corgi (Ruby) who is 9 and a Maltipoo (Joplin) who will be 2 this year. The poo was adopted from a kill shelter in TX (and one before her from the same area as well). We've lost 4 dogs in 2 yrs due to old age, 3 within 6 months. Hard pill to swallow but I love them all and would LOVE to love yours too! I am a stay-at-home dog mom. I have all the time in the world to take care of your babies! Believe me when I say they will come home all tuckered out :) I have a fenced in back yard and 2 VERY friendly dogs to keep your pups very much entertained! In your home (if a dog sitter in home is required) you can expect all of their daily schedules to be fulfilled.
“This was the second time that Mark has watched our somewhat stubborn, scared pup and he did an incredible job again. He clearly cares for all the pets he watches, they interact well, and he even gave our dog a costumed photo shoot. 100% would recommend Mark”

I have used Emily numerous times. You can not ask for a better dog sitter and person. She is great with my dog and he considers her and her family a part of his. I can leave him and am comfortable knowing is is in great care and with a great family. I can not say enough about her. I so very much appreciate her and highly recommend.

Great family who you can tell from the start love their dogs and love any dog that comes into their house. Both of their dogs are well behaved and allow your dog time to get used to being in new environment. They have a large fenced back yard that I know my toy Aussie just loved playing ball in. Already booked our next stay!
