“Karen was amazing with my dog Nico. She sent lots of updates and pictures and took such wonderful care of him. She treated Nico like her own dog, and it was clear from the beginning that he was in great hands. Highly recommend!”


“Marie (and sweet Leon) was the absolute best dog sitter. She was so kind and thoughtful of our dog’s needs. We loved getting pictures and updates of Maisie and Leon together. She took such good care of Maisie for the week, I would 100% recommend Marie!”


“They were great with my dog. Sent photos everyday, gave him plenty of attention & he was a happy little guy. I will definitely use this family again to watch my dog.”


“Coy was fabulous! He came and picked our honey girl up, who can be very theatrical lol. He had treats ready and was very knowlegable about gaining her trust and was able to provide us with tools to help calm her anxiety. He had honey out running around with other dogs, playing non stop, and sent us videos of her. She was tuckered out when we got her back! We will only be booking with coy!”


“They took very good care of my sometimes difficult to handle gigantic Anatolian Shepherd Tucker. He made new friends while he was there and almost didn't want to go with me when I came to pick him up! I was happy they took such good care of him and would definitely recommend Jessica”


“Triba was great! Super responsive, gave lots of attention to my cat, and took great care of him. She was also flexible with dates. Would definitely hire her again.”


About: Hi, I’m Taylor! I'm an animal lover & experienced pet mom who understands that they’re part of the family. I’ve raised two dogs from three months old, so I know the structure and routine dogs need. My pups play outside at least three times a day, so visiting dogs can expect a similar rhythm: regular outdoor time, a calm indoor space with toys, and attention. **As long as they’re good with cats,** they’ll fit right in. I work full time, but mostly from home, and my schedule is very flexible. I can easily adjust my hours with a bit of notice, which allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I keep things calm, clean, and consistent, whether I’m in your home or caring for pets in mine. I do my best to maintain your pet’s usual routine so they feel secure while you're away. In your home, I treat the space with care and respect, and I always double check doors, feeding instructions, and any special requests. At my home, pets have access to a quiet, structured environment with safe spaces to relax, regular outdoor time, and lots of attention.

“Sabrina was great. She accomadated the late request for a holiday weekend. Ellie had a great time with her family and furry friend (Luna). I would recommend Sabrina to my friends.”


“Tiffani did an absolutely fabulous job sitting our 1 year old boxer mix pup! She sent us pictures throughout the two days she was with her and communicated with us regarding her eat and play habits. We would 100% recommend Tiffani for future dog sitting needs!”



“Deuce always has a great time at Maggie's. He is relaxed and anxiety is gone. Maggie keeps us posted throughout and sends lots of pics and videos!”


“Emily and her family were wonderful to our dog Charlie. Communication was great before and throughout his extended stay. Emily sent cute pictures and gave updates. Charlie is happy to be back home but I honestly think he misses Emily’s dog Brady and the whole family.”


About: Experience with small and large birds, cats and multiple dog breeds. We are a family of four who love animals of all kinds. I’m Amanda, the daughter of a pet store owner and animal advocate. I grew up with dogs, cats and many exotic animals in my home. Pat, dad to our velcro kitty has experience with large dogs. We have two daughters. A teenager and an almost teenager. Both share the same passion for animals that we do and have experience in dog training. We share our home with Ruby, our tiny toy poodle with a big personality, Mavis and Shadow, rescue cats who love to eat and relax in a sunny window and Luna the lovebird who loves to play peek-a-boo. One of us is home all day Thursday-Sunday so there is plenty of time to dedicate to cuddles, enrichment and exercise! Monday- Wednesday can be arranged with a bit of notice. Our pets are well loved and spoiled. We’d love to spoil your babies too! Our yard is unfenced, so dogs will be on leashes or on a run when outside. Comfortable with crating, gating or free range of the house. There is plenty of room for everyone to have space separately or together. Happy to do drop-ins for walks, feeding or playtime!

“Amazing sitter with a lovely home and beautiful personality. They gave me consistent updates and worked well with my xl dog. 10/10”


“Jill and Sean were super kind and accommodating with my old doggie. He came home happy and they were able to be flexible when my schedule shifted. Thanks for taking good care of Bugsy.”


“I've already re-booked! The entire process with Shannon was seamless, from the meet and greet which we did in advance to Spencer's first overnight! HIGHLY recommend. When we did the meet and greet, Shannon spent about and hour with Spencer and I, giving us the opportunity to see how he interacted with her daycare dogs as well as with her personal dogs. She has a huge, fenced in yard, which is very well gated off and contained. She took the time to get him used to her outdoor area, as well as her home. I was very comfortable knowing he would be safe, and well cared for. During his overnight stay, she texted me several times, with photos and let me know he was doing well. Spencer came home from his visit tired from playing with doggie friends, and well cared for. I have already booked future visits and I highly recommend!”


“Albert and Amanda took amazing care of my Pomsky puppy! It was a last minute request that they accommodated perfectly and were totally flexible when our travel plans were disrupted coming back. I got so many great pictures and videos during our trip which made leaving our new puppy so much easier. We will definitely be using them again!”


“Thank you sooooo much for taking care of my Willow! You and your family did a wonderful job with her over night visit. I am so blessed to have found you. This is a super family and I would love have them care for my sweet dog anytime. Our communication was fabulous and the photos you shared are so appreciated THANK YOU❤️”



“This is Tucker's new home away from home. Steve and Deb exceeded all expectations and provided exceptional care for our dog. He loved playing with the other dogs and all the cuddles he received from Steve and Deb. Thank you Steve and Deb.”


“Angela was an amazing dog sitter! She anticipated our dog's every need and made certain he was well cared for. I highly recommend her services!”


“Janelle was great with our dogs! She was responsive in her communication in booking our stay, asked good questions and made sure she understood our requirements during our meet and greet, and kept us updated on how our pets were doing while we were away. We had such a good experience and booked another session immediately after our first!”
