“As I told Olivia, she's stuck with us now! I know my baby was spoiled and I loved receiving daily pics of him! It hasn't even been a week yet and I am already requesting to rebook her!”


“Yi was patient, caring and tolerant of my dog’s personality quirks. She kept me updated and sent pictures to reassure me that things were going well. I highly recommend her!”


“Rachel has become one of our go-to sitters! She always does a great job watching our two pups when we’re away and they come back tired and happy. Thanks for everything Rachel!”


“The boarding experience for my dog was fantastic! Richard and Sara provided a welcoming and comfortable environment, and my dog got along really well with their dog, which made the stay even better. I appreciated the regular updates, including pictures and messages, which reassured me that my dog was happy and well cared for. The space was clean, and it was clear that they genuinely cared about the dogs they were looking after. I will certainly choose them again in the future!”


“Our dog had a great time at Katie’s place! He loved having playtime with her dogs and the special attention she gave him too. Will be booking with Katie again!”


“We truly recommend Kayleigh and her husband Andy. From the beginning they were understanding of Lizzie and us. They made us feel welcomed in their home, and they were easy to talk to while creating a bond/understanding with Lizzie and us. They were patient with Lizzie and made her feel like she was part of the family. Our old lady can be the fun police with her barking and constant pulling of the leash. However, Kayleigh and Andy accepted her the way she is. I truly believe she came out better just by spending time with them and their precious puppies. We would definitely use them again if the need ever arises. We are telling you there are no better people to take care of your fur babies, they will love them like their own. Thanks again for opening your home and hearts to our baby girl. ?”


“Our normal dog sitter was going on vacation when we had to leave town. We have a very hard time leaving our pets with just anybody. Both of them are big hunters so we always worry they’re going to get out of the yard or jet out the door. After meeting Sasha and visiting her home, we felt completely safe leaving the dogs with her. She has a fenced in backyard, agility course, and several parks nearby. She treated our dogs just like part of the family! Every single day Sasha sent us pictures of the dogs having a great time playing. Anytime I contacted her she got back with me right away. They even got Pup cups from starbucks. (Sasha texted me ahead of time to make sure it was ok for them to eat them.) When we picked up the girls she left us a lovely note, a picture of each dog, and two cupcakes for dogs. We highly recommend Sasha and are so happy our girls had a good time with her family.”


“Communicated well and fully embraced Harlem . We will definitely rebook again . This is the perfect space for Harlem and he was given the ability to explore and connect with others .”


About: I have taken care of dogs while nannying and for various families! I love all animals but am unfortunately unable to have my own pup right now I am currently working Monday- Friday as a teacher until 5 pm and am available any time after that to walk or take in dogs! I am free all day and night Saturday and Sunday every week! I am also free any holiday for extended days in a row. I have an unfenced yard and a dog park walking distance from my home! I am open to crating you pups or to depending on what you would like and love to go for very long walks!

“Christina was great! Keep me updated the whole time my dogs were in her care. Dogs were happy and in good moods when I picked them up. Would definitely hire Christina again.”


“Kathryn is just THE BESt! Sophi has such a wonderful time every visit, I don’t think she has time miss us. Kathryn cares for her like we do and understands her fussy eating habits. We are already booking Sophi’s next stay, and we highly recommend Kathryn to anyone looking for a home away from home for their fur baby!”


“Ellie had a great time with Kat! She provided us with frequent updates and photos throughout the day. I could tell in the photos that Ellie was genuinely happy under Kat's care. We plan to rebook with her in the future and would definitely recommend her to anyone!”


“Sydney was amazing! I had to change the drop off time the day before and she was so flexible! She kept me up to date with videos and pictures and my boys came home nice and sleepy! Will definitely be using her again!”


“OMG!!! Michele was absolutely amazing with my Doodles ❤️ She welcomed us and made him feel right at home, upon our arrival. I’m usually very nervous about leaving my baby anywhere, but Michele assured me that he would be ok, and judging by the way he started moving around her home, I almost immediately knew he would be. Sitter sent several pictures and videos to keep me updated on how Doodles was doing and how well he was adjusting . When I picked Doodles up, he seemed really comfortable with her and gave her a million kisses before leaving. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you so much Michele!!”



“Hillary was a wonderful host for my dog. He typically has some separation anxiety, but settled in pretty quickly at Hillary's home and was excited to return for his second stay! He clearly had a great time playing with other dogs, going on walks and enjoying time at the dog park. Hillary is extremely responsive and organized, and provides a full report card and lots of photos for each stay. We will definitely be coming back!”


“Sydney was a fantastic sitter for my beagle, Parker. Despite a bit of separation anxiety the first day, she handled him well and he clearly enjoyed his time with her!”



“Ozzie had a wonderful time and was very well taken care of while we were on vacation. Holly kept us updated with photos and updates the entire week. Ozzie is happy and exhausted from all the fun he had!”


“Oh my!! Will and Bibiana, are the absolute best! We called them literally at the last minute made a booking they accepted the booking for our Charlie. This couple is awesome!!!! Very nice, very friendly, immediate welcome our Charlie with his disability into their home. They showed no hesitation to just make him feel welcome. Very professional , house is a place that you would want your very family taken care of. Our dog Charlie is a special needs dog. They didn’t even hesitate to say that they would take care of him as we had a funeral for my husband‘s uncle today in Cincinnati. Thank you, thank you, thank you Will and your lovely wife. We appreciate you so very much and we will be booking with you again! If you’re looking for a great place for your extended furry family consider Will and his lovely wife Bibiana. I HIGHLY recommend them! I love that they sent us videos of Charlie sitting in the window, watching the cars go by along with another dog and they was just having a good greatest time just looking out the window although our Charlie was barking at everything he saw, but the other dog tend to look at him and say, what are we looking at bud.🤣🤣”
